Chapter 247 The situation the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army needs to face!
The matter of Yamamoto Ikki just passed like that. Who can blame Yamamoto Ikki for having the love of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka?
Yoshio Shinozuka only cares about the feelings of Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa, but he doesn't care about other Japanese officers.
However, once Yoshio Shinozuka leaves, Yamamoto Kazuki will be unable to move forward.
"Mr. Tsukawa, your suggestion just now is very good, and I agree with it." Yoshio Shinozuka said after sitting down.
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"I agree too!"
......
The Japanese officers present all expressed their opinions.
"That's right. Then, Mr. Tsukawa, the General Staff can draft a combat plan today." After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka said to the Chief of Staff, Major General Yusei Tsukawa.
"Hi!" Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa nodded in response.
The general military action has been decided, so the next steps are just some small things.
After an hour, the meeting ended.
In the next few months, the Japanese took frequent actions, but they were all targeting the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.
It was precisely because of these few months that the Tiger Guard Division developed to a terrifying level.
Of course, this is all for later.
......
Kenanpo, Ji County.
Originally, the place was not called Kenanpo, but Nancunpo, but because "Nancun" and "Nancun" are homophones, it was changed to Nancunpo.
Commander Yan was not happy about it, and he was also averse to the word "Nancun", so the name was changed to Kenanpo.
After the fall of Taiyuan, Commander Yan moved to Kenanpo.
Today, Kenanpo is the headquarters of the Second War Zone and also a major military town in the Second War Zone.
"What did you say?"
"Zhou Weimin's Tiger Guard Division actually defended Chidong County and inflicted heavy damage on the 37th Division?"
"How can this be?"
"We, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, have experienced what kind of battles the Japanese 37th Division fought."
"Besides, doesn't Zhou Weimin only have 10,000 troops in Chidong County?"
"I remember that the Japanese 37th Division was a reinforced division with over 25,000 men!"
"Where did the armored troops come from?"
Commander Yan said in disbelief when he heard the staff officer's report.
You should know that when Commander Yan learned that the Japanese 37th Division was attacking Chidong County, he basically gave up on Zhou Weimin.
Commander Yan had experienced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 37th Division.
It was this 37th Division that drove Commander Yan out of Taiyuan, so Commander Yan telegraphed Sun Chu, asking him to come back quickly.
But now the staff reported that Zhou Weimin not only defended Chidong County, but also wiped out the 37th Division of the Japanese.
Suddenly, Commander Yan seemed to have thought of something, so he burst into laughter and said, "You guys! You just know how to make me happy. I think you have too much free time."
"Don't you think about how Zhou Weimin's 10,000 men could possibly stop the attack of the Japanese 37th Division?"
"If anything really happens in Chidong County, Commander Sun will send me a telegram immediately."
After hearing what Commander Yan said, the staff officer's face flushed. It was not because of anything else, nor because of Commander Yan's words, but because he was excited after seeing the content of the telegram.
"Sir, I'm not kidding you. This is Commander Sun's telegram. There was also a telegram sent by intelligence officers in Chidong County, but we didn't believe it."
"But since it's a telegram sent by Commander Sun, we have no choice but to believe it."
"Besides, we also checked with intelligence personnel in Chidong County to confirm that it's true."
"The telegrams sent by the intelligence personnel in Chidong County and Commander Sun are basically the same, except that Commander Sun's telegram is more detailed."
"Commander Sun doesn't know that we have intelligence personnel in Chidong County!"
"The two sides sent basically the same telegrams, one after the other. This shows that Zhou Weimin's Tiger Guard Division has truly defended Chidong County and defeated the Japanese 37th Division."
The staff officer handed several telegrams in his hand to Commander Yan, and then spoke with some excitement.
Looking at the staff officer who was in an unusual mood, Commander Yan took the telegram and started reading it.
At this moment, many expressions appeared on Commander Yan's face. First he was excited, then he was gloomy, and finally he returned to calm.
These telegrams not only contained news about Chidong County, but also news about northwest Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army.
Let’s put the affairs of Chidong County aside for now, because Sun Chu has already handled all the affairs of Chidong County.
What happened in northwest Shanxi was that the Tiger Guards Division of Hutou Mountain successively recovered the county towns.
Although Commander Yan was planning to hand over the defense of northwest Shanxi to the Tiger and Leopard Division, he also intended to let the Tiger and Leopard Division and the Japanese consume each other.
Because most of the county towns in northwestern Shanxi were in the hands of the Japanese.
But now, with Zhou Weimin annihilating the Japanese 37th Division in Chidong County, the defense in northwest Shanxi is basically gone.
The Tiger Guards of Hutou Mountain rushed out in full force and quickly recovered the county town occupied by the Japanese in northwestern Shanxi before the other forces could react.
From then on, northwestern Shanxi belonged to the Tiger Guards.
The Japanese evacuated from northwest Shanxi, which means that the Japanese gave up on northwest Shanxi. So what will the Japanese do next?
Commander Yan knows it very well.
This time, Zhou Weimin destroyed the Japanese 37th Division and demonstrated his own strength. The Japanese will definitely not provoke Zhou Weimin for the time being.
But the Japs also had to vent their anger.
There are Japanese invaders, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Tiger Guard Division in Shanxi. There is no need for the Japanese invaders to attack the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army next.
This made Commander Yan uncomfortable.
The original intention was for the Tiger Guards Division and the Japanese to consume each other, but in the end it became the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Japanese to consume each other.
Moreover, Commander Yan also gave the defense zone in northwest Shanxi to the Huben Division.
"We suffered a great loss." Commander Yan muttered to himself.
Now the Tiger Guards have fully grown up and there is no way to suppress them.
Fortunately, Commander Yan knew that Zhou Weimin’s goal was not Jin, so Commander Yan could only win over Zhou Weimin.
As for the other telegram about the Eighth Route Army.
That's because the Eighth Route Army has been very active recently, and the Japanese's railway transportation in Shanxi has been basically destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army also launched an offensive against northwestern Shanxi last night.
The difference is that the Tiger Guards recovered the county town, while the Eighth Route Army attacked the villages and towns in northwestern Shanxi.
Many villages and towns were attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
However, the Eighth Route Army was unaware of the Tiger Guard Division's actions, so they quickly withdrew after attacking the villages and towns.
But this also gave Commander Yan some ideas.
Because the Eighth Route Army's mobilization capabilities were so strong, according to the content of the telegram, the Eighth Route Army dispatched 60,000 to 70,000 people last night.
Although these are basically local armed forces, this also shows that the Eighth Route Army developed too quickly in Shanxi.
"The Tiger Guards will eventually leave, but it's different for the Eighth Route Army." Commander Yan muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.
The staff officer beside him also lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.
