After Tominaga Nobumasa and his party came over, Yoshio Shinozuka said with a serious expression on his face.

However, Yan Laoxi only sent troops to advance symbolically to Pucheng and other areas, and his main force was not mobilized at all.

Thousands of troops counterattacked in Yunxian County, and there were more than 30,000 little Japs in Wenxi City, so there was no chance of victory.

Not long ago, they repelled the 48th Independent Brigade in northwestern Shanxi and captured Lancheng and Jingle City.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and agreed.

"So your division must be prepared at all times. Once you discover their troops, you must attack quickly."

The 14th Army was founded by Wei Junru, who once served as its commander.

It seems that the more than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops attacking on the west side are completely a combat loophole.

After Chen Ziyun heard Chu Yunfei's deployment, his scalp exploded instantly.

Even with the Japanese army as their formidable enemy, they can still fight against each other!

"Master seat, the main force of the division can gather at Yunqiu Mountain south of Xiangning City and stand by."

During this period of time, Yamamoto Kazuki has been here in southern Shanxi. He himself also put on makeup several times and followed the spies and traitors to Zhongtiao Mountain for reconnaissance.

Chu Yunfei will lead these troops to advance to the Guanwang Temple in the east of Xiangning City and Dongyue Town to assemble on the front line and wait for follow-up orders from the chief.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and said with an expectant expression on his face.

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded thoughtfully.

"No matter what, we must intercept them and prevent them from sabotaging our combat operations."

Unfortunately, their 85th Division is currently on the south bank of the Yellow River, and their 94th Division is defending at the joint between the 5th and 14th Group Armies.

The Glory 1st Division in the west and the 27th Army in the east also launched operations.

Their total strength is about 5,000, and they are equipped with a large number of trucks and sidecars and motorcycles.

But in fact, the Fifth Army has to deal with the 36th Division, the 37th Division, the 41st Division, and the independent Ninth Brigade.

After receiving the order from the First Theater Command Headquarters, it quickly issued the order on May 3.

During this time in southern Shanxi, Yamamoto Kazuki also focused on training these spies and traitors to ensure that they had certain combat capabilities.

On the evening of May 3rd, the Glory First Division began to conduct secret mobilization.

These troops will immediately penetrate into depth after the battle, attack the command organs, and cut off the communication between the various departments of the garrison.

This means that the two divisions of Yunxian and Wenxicheng, with more than 30,000 troops, may attack the Glory First Division from the south at any time.

"Chief Yan, as long as we win the battle and keep our troops from suffering too many casualties, we won't be held accountable."

Yamamoto Kazuki immediately bowed and said with a respectful expression.

"At the same time, you must also unite with the airborne troops to quickly seize favorable terrain and cooperate with the main force to quickly break through."

"If we follow Commander Chen's words and advance eastward with all our strength, it will be dangerous."

The 27th Division maintains its complete organization. If they attack from the north to the south.

The more than 10,000 soldiers of the Glory First Division have to bear the attack of 78,000 to 80,000 puppet troops.

"Teacher, we still have to implement the orders from the superior department tactfully, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

As long as the Glory First Division advances towards the east, it is very likely that it will be surrounded from all sides.

How to grasp the scale well, so as not to offend Yan Laoxi and not offend the First War Zone, is the most important thing.

They had previously participated in the Battle of Hankou with the 11th Army, and later assumed the task of guarding the occupied areas in Hebei Province.

Counting the Fifth Army, which is directly under the 80th Army in the theater, they have the strength of four armies.

Once these Japanese and puppet troops establish contact, the entire retreat of the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison will be completely blocked.

The 14th Army, which is cooperating with them, will take the initiative from the Zhongtiao Mountain area and attack the Wenxi and Yunxian areas.

At present, the 27th Division has followed to the Pingyang City area, and they are deployed nearby as a mobile force.

The 14th Army can currently mobilize only one 83rd Division.

It was completely impossible for them to retreat to the south bank through the Yellow River.

The overall strength of their three divisions is not weak. If they all go out to fight, they will definitely be able to contain the little Japanese troops.

Directly under the division headquarters are the search regiment, the engineer regiment, the heavy equipment regiment, and the mountain artillery regiment.

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded with satisfaction, he explained in detail, and then directly asked Yamamoto Kazuki to prepare.

After all, they occupy favorable terrain for defense and are no match for the little devils.

However, after Chen Ziyun appeared, a series of butterfly effects appeared.

Although he was subject to greater restrictions and oppression, Yoshio Shinozuka still supported Kazuki Yamamoto.

However, the 17th Army only had one 84th Division and its strength was weak, so the 14th Army's 94th Division was transferred to coordinate the defense.

This group of Japanese and puppet troops is rapidly advancing eastward along the north bank of the Yellow River. They want to directly connect with the 21st Division and 35th Division from the northern Henan region.

You must know that the capital side also personally sent a message to Yan Laoxi, requesting the Shanxi-Sui Army deployed in western Shanxi to attack the Tong-Pu Railway with all their strength.

There are no loopholes in the little devil's deployment this time.

"The reconnaissance platoon of the cavalry battalion and the reconnaissance connection company of the artillery regiment conduct reconnaissance. The Japanese and puppet troops have assembled many troops."

"We will show results to prove our strength."

Zhongtiao Mountain is long and narrow from east to west, covering hundreds of kilometers.

Even if Chu Yunfei stood still and remained loyal to Yan Laoxi.

The artillery regiment, cavalry battalion, machine gun battalion, and guard communication battalion directly under the division headquarters will fight together.

The main force of his division moved eastward and prepared to attack Fenxian, Yicheng and Jiangcheng.

"At the same time, we will dispatch an elite team to advance to the east of Xiangning City, Guanwang Temple, and Dongyue Town to provide first-line security."

At this time, here in Pingyang City, in the frontline headquarters set up by the First Army.

At present, the Glory 1st Division has two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the artillery regiment, cavalry battalion, machine gun battalion, guard communication battalion and other units.

At the same time, they will also seize favorable terrain and cooperate with the main force to break through.

As for other troops, they followed the division headquarters and stayed in the Xiangningcheng area on standby.

Hao Shiwen's words are reasonable. No matter what the Glory First Division does, it is wrong.

"Master, now we are in a dilemma."

The 12th Reserve Regiment under the 11th Reserve Brigade, attached to the mountain artillery company at the brigade headquarters, advanced to Guanwang Temple and Dongyue Town to gather and guard the front lines.

Not long after, Kazuki Yamamoto, wearing a military uniform, quickly came to the room.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Nobumasa Tominaga, the commander of the 27th Division, Colonel Fukuda, the chief of staff, and Norihisa Suzuki, the commander of the 37th Infantry Regiment, all came to the headquarters.

"We will deploy first and wait for subsequent orders. Based on the subsequent orders, we will decide how to launch the operation."

In order to carry out the combat orders of the commander-in-chief, Chu Yunfei planned to personally command the 48th Independent Brigade and the 11th Reserve Brigade (the 13th Reserve Regiment) to fight eastward.

The North China Front Army Headquarters and the Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters were very upset about this incident.

Chief of Staff Huagu was leading the staff to mark the map, and the locations of the various units of the Little Japanese Army were marked in detail.

However, after the tragic defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain, the capital was furious, and it was inevitable that Yan Laoxi would push Chu Yunfei and others out as scapegoats.

"Yamamoto-kun, this is the best time to prove you."

In addition to arranging a large number of field troops here, the First Army also used spies and traitors to organize infiltration troops.

"But if we sit back and watch, if something happens in the first theater, everyone will be furious, and we will become the scapegoats again."

The Suzuki detachment is composed of the first regiment of the garrison infantry, the search regiment, and the first brigade of the mountain artillery regiment.

They only mobilized the main force to participate, and left one to be responsible for the defense of the occupied area.

As long as the Glory First Division launches operations at full strength, if they encounter any danger, the Jinsui Army will not send out rescue.

According to the plan, the 14th Army will take the initiative to attack them.

"The Deli Division will secretly advance to the area north of Jishan City on the Fenhe River, pay close attention to the dynamics of the Japanese and puppet troops south of the Fenhe River, and wait for opportunities."

It is inevitably very difficult for people to survive in the cracks.

Of course, the Japanese and puppet troops on the west side have more than 10,000 troops, which is not too many, and most of them are puppet troops.

Then he began to issue orders to mobilize some armored units and artillery units to strengthen the Suzuki detachment.

The Suzuki detachment that has received these reinforcements will naturally have stronger combat effectiveness.

Until now, Yoshio Shinozuka is still very cautious towards Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun's troops, and does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

The little devil was actively preparing here. At this time, Li Yunlong, who had not been seen for a long time in the Taiyue Mountain area, hurriedly found Brigadier Chen.
