The operational command was in turmoil, with the sound of officers arguing, the humming of generators, the ticking of telegraph machines, and the sound of staff officers answering the phone turning the entire operational command room into a shrunken wet market.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, I have just intercepted the telegram sent by the China War Zone, and Sun Weiru, the commander of the Fourth Army of China, has sent a telegram to Yan Xishan, the commander of the China War Zone, proposing to use his Fourth Army as a bait to make every effort to contain the main force of the imperial army on the front line of Liushuyan and create conditions for other troops in China to recover Taiyuan, even at the cost of annihilating the whole army!" Aiko Sato said quickly.

"This Sun Weiru is a bloody man, what does Yan say?" Umezu Mijiro said.

Yan had agreed to Sun's battle plan, and asked the Eighth Route Army to send strong troops to reinforce Liu Shuyan to fight with the Fourth Army of China, which was besieged by the imperial army. At the same time, Yan also ordered Yang Aiyuan's troops and Wei Lihuang's troops to capture Jinzhong and Qingxu at all costs, and to join forces under the city of Taiyuan on the 13th at the latest. Aiko Sato replied loudly.

"Hmph, join forces in Taiyuan, what a joke? What was the situation on Iida-kun's side, and how long would it take to defeat this Fourth Army? Obviously, Sun Weiru's reaction greatly surprised Umezu Mijiro's expectations, but he still compared the battle situation of Iida Shojiro's department, if that side acted according to the original plan, even if it could not completely annihilate the Fourth Army, it could quickly return to Gujiao and start a war of attrition with the Shina army.

"Iida-kun just called and said that they have defeated the 47th Army of China and are encircling and annihilating its headquarters, and now the army is preparing to meet the **** and 15th Army of China that have come to reinforce it, and please rest assured that in half a day at most, they will be able to completely defeat the China Army and never disappoint the expectations of His Excellency the Commander!" Aiko Sato said loudly.

"Nani, the 47th Army of China, according to the battle plan of the people of China, isn't it the 15th Army of China as the front army to open the way, how can it become the 47th Army of China?" Admiral Umezu Mijiro asked without being angry.

"Your Excellency, the front army of the Chinese is indeed the 15th Army. However, this branch of the army suddenly divided its forces before entering the ambush circle of the imperial army, and the main force bypassed Iida-kun's ambush point, so Iida-kun had no choice but to let go of this front army of China, and the object of attack became the Chinese army, that is, Li Jiayu's 47th army. Aiko Sato said loudly.

"Yaga, was Iida's head kicked by the stupid donkey of Kyushu, didn't he know that his troops were surrounded by the Shina people in the Shina ravine, and if the attack did not go well, he would face tens of thousands of troops in Shina before and after, and in this way, the plan to annihilate the Fourth Army of Shina was also completely defeated. And his stupid actions that disregard the overall situation will completely disrupt the layout of the headquarters, and even drag the First Army into the dark abyss, which is simply stupid. An enraged Umezu Mijiro roared.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now? The two armies of the Chinese were already less than 150 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and at their speed, they could reach the city in two days at most. Aiko Sato asked, looking up.

Umezu Mijiro is a person who is very good at controlling his emotions, he knows that it is useless to be angry now, and he tries to suppress his anger, and then said slowly: "The most important thing now is to defeat Sun Weiru's Fourth Army, as long as Sun Weiru's department is defeated, the most unfortunate Iida department can still urgently return to Taiyuan and entangle with the Chinese people." Sato, you should now immediately send a telegram to His Excellency Sugiyama Moto, requesting that the Imperial Provisional Air Corps in Baoding immediately set off for Yanagiyan and cooperate with Iida's headquarters in the battle. In addition, the remnants of the 108th Division at Jingcheng Pass were ordered to urgently return to Taiyuan, and they must arrive at Taiyuan within two days, otherwise military law would be involved. ”

After speaking, Umezu Mijiro added: "Send another telegram to that bastard in Iida, ordering him to be ready to return to Gujiao and even Taiyuan, and if he can't destroy the Fourth Army, don't fight with it." ”

Umezu Mijiro's face is extremely ugly, it can be said that he is now being pitted by Iida Shojiro, a subordinate, and wants to hunt but is pitted by his own hunting dog, although the hound's intentions are good, but this fatal mistake is still unforgivable, and Umezu Mijiro has already sentenced Iida Shojiro to death in his heart.

The battle on the front continued, and the 47th Army's hardly organized defensive line was once again crumbling due to the sudden attack of the Japanese tank troops. There were more than 20,000 people in the two divisions at the time of departure, but now there are less than 7,000 people left, and the rest are either captured or have become corpses, which makes Li Jiayu's heart like a knife.

But at this point, grief is useless, and you can only fight hard.

"Guapi, where have they been, and how many miles away from the battlefield are they going?" Li Jiayu asked the newspaper operator beside him.

"Report to the military seat, the commander-in-chief has already crossed the retreat ditch, and we are less than ten miles away, and we can arrive in half an hour at most. Liu Junzuo and they are also coming back to our aid, but the mountain road they are walking is very difficult to walk, and it is estimated that it will take about two hours to reach here. The operator reported.

"Half an hour, yes. Lao Tzu didn't believe that the dignified 47th Army couldn't stop it for even half an hour, and informed him that even if the whole army fought the last person left, it would also be defended by Lao Tzu, and the little devil of the turtle son must not be allowed to occupy the position. Li Jiayu said loudly.

"I know, I promise that I won't let the turtle son occupy our position!"

"Boom" At this moment, a shell exploded next to Li Jiayu, and the dust that splashed up immediately buried Li Jiayu in half.

"Protect the military seat, protect the military seat!" Deputy Army Commander Luo Zezhou shouted loudly.

Li Jiayu shook his dizzy head, pushed away the guards who rushed up, crawled out of the mound by himself, and then said loudly: "Protect a melon baby, Lao Tzu is here, here to accompany you to fight to the end." Lao Tzu died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, Lao Tzu is a hero, and if he dies, he can also go to the prince of Yama with those old brothers, and he is also worthy of the fathers and elders in Sichuan, and even more worthy of the oath of Chief Liu Xiang when he went out of Sichuan. Fight to the last man and fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the last man, swear to fight the enemy!" The remnants of the 47th Army erupted in an earth-shattering roar.

Not far away, the commander of the Japanese army, Major General Shojiro Iida, was using a telescope to observe the remnants of the 47th Army encircled in a small basin. Originally, he thought that the 47th Army had already suffered two-thirds of the casualties, and the remaining remnants had already been frightened by the Imperial Japanese Army, and it only took a charge from the Imperial Army to completely defeat them.

But things were far from what he had imagined, and instead of being defeated, the courage of the people of China was even greater.

"Baga, are you sure that the one who is surrounded below is the Sichuan army with the most rubbish weapons and equipment?" Shojiro Iida asked angrily.

Chief of Staff Suzuki Toshiyuki Osa hurriedly said: "Below, the 47th Army of China is surrounded by the imperial army, this army belongs to the 22nd Group Army of Deng Xihou of the Sichuan Army, and most of its soldiers are from Sichuan, and there is no doubt that it is the Sichuan Army!" ”

"Then why is the will to fight of this Chinese army so tenacious, and it is not inferior to the large Japanese Imperial Army, even if it is still resisting with two-thirds of the casualties, tell me, what is going on?" Iida said angrily.

"Your Excellency, there is no direct relationship between the will to fight and the weapons and equipment, the Sichuan army is known for its tenacious will to fight, Your Excellency should know that the Sichuan army stationed in the county seat of Tengxian County at that time was the Sichuan army of Zhina, and the combat effectiveness of that army was far inferior to the 47th Army." Toshiyuki Suzuki replied.

"Battle of Tengxian County, you mean Tengxian County, Shandong?" Lieutenant General Shimoto Kumaya asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Your Excellency the division commander, it is that Teng County." Toshiyuki Suzuki Osado.

"Yo Xi, the Sichuan Army, it's the Sichuan Army!" Iida gasped and said, which showed how unsettled his mood was at this time. (To be continued.) )
