In desperation, Major General Ishida Hotada could only order the 211 Wing in the city not to retreat for the time being. Concentrate your forces and completely defeat the anti-coalition defenders in the city. In order to rescue his division, his division division divided his troops to counterattack the county seat of Yingxian County from among the troops fighting with the 212th Wing.

Although it may not be able to save the 212 Wing's crisis, it can at least reduce the huge pressure on the 212 Wing and prolong its persistence as much as possible. Fight for reinforcements from your superiors, as well as gather other troops to rescue, even for a day.

For Major General Ishida Hotada, in order to rescue the 212th Wing, he has nothing to care about at the moment. In any case, at present, the 212th Wing on the Yingxian battlefield is the main force of the whole division. If the 212th Wing is defeated, then for the 32nd Division, its battle situation in Yingxian will also completely collapse.

In the overnight situation, the previous absolute advantage took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the face of the pitiful situation that the troops at hand could save were few. Major General Ishida asked for instructions and immediately transferred back the infantry brigade that was attacking northeast of Ying County. He also transferred back part of the 210 Wing at Huanghualiang on the border between Shanyin and Yingxian, and tried to make use of the battlefield around Yingxian to annihilate all the anti-coalition forces that suddenly came out.

In the opinion of Major General Ishida Hotada, as long as the 32nd Division can be contained. In the face of the sudden emergence of the anti-union force, it is not that there is no ability to fight. Because not only does he have an absolute advantage in military strength, but Ishida still believes that the military literacy of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire far exceeds that of the soldiers in front of him.

Although the 32nd Division is within the entire North China Front Army structure, it belongs to the sequence of security divisions and regiments that consolidate the occupied areas. The total strength is not as large as those field divisions, and the equipment is not as good as that of field divisions. Many officers at all levels are reservists, or even graduates of the Category A Alternate School.

However, Major General Ishida believed that he still had an absolute advantage in the face of the Shina Army. Although the so-called anti-Japanese alliance in front of it has defeated the Kwantung Army many times. Under the city of Taiyuan, the 32nd Division also suffered a big loss. Although the losses were not as large as those of the 41st Division, it was the first time since the formation of the 32nd Division.

However, even this Major General Ishida Hotada is still full of confidence. It is believed that as long as the forces can be gathered and all the forces can be concentrated, it is not that there is no capital for World War I. In particular, once the main forces of the division and regiment are all gathered, not to mention that they still have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, the artillery firepower is not bad.

Regarding Major General Ishida Hotada's construction, Iide Tetsuzo could only shake his head and smile bitterly. At this moment, the cunning guy in the county seat of Yingxian County had already calculated this qiē before launching this counterattack. For the possibility of the 210 United team coming back, he has long been prepared.

At the same time as his main force launched a counterattack, his part had already taken the lead in capturing the first line of Beizhai and Dongxinzhai in the west of Yingxian. It not only cut off the return route of the 210 Wing, but also cooperated with the anti-United Nations troops who were fighting against the 210 to launch a two-sided attack on the 210 Wing on the first line of Huanghualiang.

The 210 Wing was not only unable to send a single soldier back to the battlefield in Yingxian, but it was even difficult to protect itself. And even if he didn't send troops to attack the back of the 210 Wing, the 210 Wing would not be able to withdraw now. The 210th Wing was faced with a large number of enemy tank troops, and if the enemy troops were withdrawn, they could quickly penetrate the battlefield in Yingxian along the road from Sanyin to Yingxian.

Once the tank troops of the Anti-Japanese Union are allowed to rush to the Yingxian battlefield, the entire Yingxian battlefield will collapse faster. No matter how you look at it, not to mention that the 210 Wing can't be withdrawn, and even if it can, it can't be withdrawn. Even if it is gone, it cannot be removed.

As for the infantry brigade that was attacking in the northeast direction, it was also caught in a bitter battle with the superior enemy forces, and it was impossible to get out of it in a short time. At this moment, Lieutenant General Iide Tiezo, who has no soldiers at hand, is almost about to hit his head against the wall with regret. In desperation, he could only send a telegram to Major General Ishida Hotada in front, asking him to find a way to bring the two wings together. No matter how much it costs, we will also find a way to withdraw the 211 Wing in Yingxian County.

The 212th Wing was ordered to find a way to deploy troops to cooperate with the 211th Wing to recover Longquan at any cost. Iide knew that his opponent was already under the nose of the Imperial Army, and he didn't make any moves until his brigade for the left flank defense was brought in.

Moreover, after the counterattack started, the focus of the counterattack was directly on the battlefield of Yingxian County as the backbone, but it was also the most exhausted, but the formation was the most complete. He has been painstakingly planning for such a long time, which is to lay the foundation for the victory or defeat of the battlefield in Yingxian County in one fell swoop.

Under the circumstance that the opponent placed the main striking force on the entire Yingxian battlefield and used the 212th Wing as the backbone force of the 32nd Division. If you don't want to find a way to respond, I'm afraid that the 212th Wing will not be able to support it alone. No matter where he draws his troops from, except for the 211 Wing, he is far from being able to quench his thirst.

After a moment's hesitation, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo personally gave the order to the infantry brigade that was fighting against the so-called Jinsui troops of the communist army in the northeast of Ying County. At any cost, immediately disengage from the armed contact with this branch. Make every effort to return to the battlefield of Yingxian County. Even if a squadron is sent back to help, it will also alleviate the current predicament of the 212th Wing.

After giving several orders in succession, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo carefully looked at the map and tried to find some reinforcements for Major General Ishida Hotada in front. Even an infantry brigade could temporarily alleviate the embarrassment that Major General Ishida was currently facing.

But after turning over and over, except for the two squadron guard units around him, and the two baggage squadrons supporting the supply line, he really couldn't find a single soldier. Gritting his teeth, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo was cleaning up the mess in Taiyuan, and Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi sent a telegram asking for operational guidance.

I hope that Lieutenant General Sadamiichi Yoshimoto can transfer even four squadrons to him in the shortest possible time. At least take over the defensive forces of the 32nd Division in the mountains on both sides of Ruyuekou, so that the 32nd Division can draw out the troops originally stationed in the rear inside and outside Ruyuekou and go north to reinforce the Yingxian battlefield.

After receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo asking for help, Yoshimoto Sadami shook his head. At this moment, when reinforcements are needed everywhere, the troops that can be mobilized in his hands are empty, but he is looking for reinforcements for the 32nd Division. Not to mention the four infantry squadrons, none of them can be drawn.

Although the 15th Division was stationed in Liao County, it was a general reserve personally formulated by General Okamura. The command is in the hands of General Okamura, and he commands the movement there. As for the other divisions under his First Army, they are now really out of service. In the battlefield in the northwest of Shanxi, the Zuojian detachment, which was beaten by the communist army that suddenly surrounded it, had sent countless telegrams asking for help, and he couldn't send reinforcements himself?

The entire Shanxi battlefield is not just one in northern Shanxi. Not to mention that the communist armies on both sides of Tongpu and Zhengtai Road were extremely active, and even dared to fight head-on with a brigade and regimental detachment of the empire, which was almost unimaginable before. Even the second theater of the government army of China, which had been honestly shrinking in the southwest of Shanxi, is now eager to try.

There are also some armed forces belonging to the government army of China stationed at the junction of southeastern Shanxi and Henan, which are now obviously much more active. The two armies under it actually dared to take the initiative to attack after they had changed the practice of retreating in the Taihang Mountains and never taking the initiative to provoke the Imperial Army. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the First Army, it actually captured several strongholds at the junction of Jin and Henan.

On the other side of the Yellow River, the First Theater of China is also constantly deploying troops and sending small units to constantly harass the Zhongtiao Mountains in an attempt to return to the Zhongtiao Mountains. In the current situation, the First Army was attacked almost on all sides. In addition, the losses of troops in previous battles were also the largest. The transfer of even one more infantry brigade will endanger the overall situation of the Shanxi battlefield.

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi was not worried about the two theaters of the Nationalist government, and would strategically cooperate with the communist forces in northern Jin and on other fronts. The mutual distrust between the two armies is so extreme that there will be no even the slightest cooperation between the two armies. But at this time, both sides are on the move.

Compared with the second war zone, which is relatively weak, Yoshimoto Sadachi is not worried. At this time, they probably just make some appearances for some aspects to see. Its overall strength was simply not enough to challenge the empire's rule in Shanxi. In addition, General Okamura has been luring him in some ways. This second theater of war will definitely not have the courage to challenge the empire.

However, the first theater of operations, dominated by the Central Army of the Chongqing government, needs to be guarded against. The Zhongtiao Mountain Area was the barrier to the north of the First Theater of Operations, and it was also the bridgehead for the Chongqing Army to reach out to the Shanxi battlefield. This is also the main reason why Chongqing has always insisted on sticking to the Zhongtiao Mountains despite the supply difficulties.

After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain last year and the loss of Zhongtiao Mountain, Luoyang, where its theater headquarters was located, included the Longhai Line, the only east-west railway artery controlled by Chongqing. It is only separated by a river from the Empire's control area in the south of Jin, and it can be said that it has directly faced the artillery fire of the Imperial Army. As long as the empire wants, it can cut off the Longhai railway at any time.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the First Theater of the Chongqing Army, which had recovered a little from the fiasco at the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain last year, has recently used the strength of the First Army, especially in the current situation of the very empty forces in Jinnan, to constantly harass the few imperial garrisons left in the Zhongtiao Mountains.

Now is the time when the First Army, and indeed the entire North China Front, is at its weakest. If this first theater has the idea of changing the situation around it, now is the most favorable time for it. Yoshimoto Sadachi was not worried about his all-out counterattack on Shanxi, but he was worried that he would take the opportunity to restore control of Nakajo Mountain.

Under the condition that the base camp strictly forbade the North China Front and abandoned any attack on the starting point of Shaanxi. He Yoshimoto had to retain a part of his forces to deal with the counterattack of the Chongqing army. Because it is very unfortunate that all the starting areas for the attack on Shaanxi are now under the jurisdiction of his First Army.

In order to ensure Jinnan, maintain the pressure on the first war zone in Chongqing, and completely defeat its idea of fishing in troubled waters. As well as maintaining military pressure on the second theater of operations, completing the entire strategic plan of General Okamura to completely force down the former king of Shanxi. It was now impossible for the First Army to draw any troops from Jinnan.

Yoshimoto Sadachi, who also really had no troops to adjust, forwarded this telegram for help from Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo to General Okamura Ninji. Since he is the commander of the North China Front in charge of the entire North China Theater, he is also his immediate boss. At present, the only mobile division in the entire Shanxi battlefield is directly controlled by him. So this matter, let's give General Okamura a headache.
