    Naturally, these small incidents in the rear will not affect the war in Shanxi.  After a short break of just 3 days, the ?  The eight field divisions assembled in the Linfen Basin once again blew the horn to attack the Japanese army.

    This time the troops were divided into two. Chen Geng led the 9th and 10th Field Divisions and Qin Jiwei's 7th Division, starting from Houma and Xinjiang, and went straight to Yuncheng along the Tongpu Railway.  The Eighth Field Division, which had been staying in the Taiyue Mountains to guard against the Jincheng and Changzhi Japanese troops rushing to aid Linfen, also went into battle and launched an attack from the east to the Yuncheng Basin with the two independent regiments of the Taiyue Military Region.  In addition, the 11th and 12th Field Divisions, which were reinforced from northern Shaanxi, quickly went south along the Yellow River valley, entered the basin through Hejin, and attacked the area west of Yuncheng.

    At this time, after the Yuncheng Basin, there was only one disabled 37th Division and one division of the Imperial Association Army. Even with the addition of the dozen or so self-defense regiments that didn't even have machine guns, the total strength did not exceed 30,000.  .  Facing the encirclement by the 100,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army on three sides, everyone knew what would happen to the Japanese and puppet troops whose retreat had been completely cut off.

    Chen Geng was encircled on three sides, while Liu Zhanshen was on multiple lines. He also divided the troops attacking other areas of Shanxi into three groups. The west route was the 13th and 14th field divisions from Yan'an and 4 regiments from the Shanxi Northwest Military Region.  Composed, He Huzi will command them to go up along the Sangqian River, attack Jingle, Ningwu, Shuozhou, Shanyin, Huairen and other places, completely occupy the southern part of the Datong Basin, and block the southward passage of the Japanese troops in Datong and Suidong.  Provide convenience for the troops attacking the Taiyuan Basin and attacking Datong in the future.

    On the middle road, Liu Zhanshen personally commanded the four, five, six, and fifteen divisions to launch an attack northward along the Taiyuan Basin. Their goal was to capture Taiyuan and Xinzhou, two important towns in Shanxi, so as to completely recover the prosperous Jinzhong Plain.

    On the East Road, Nie Shuai commanded the third field division and eight regiments of the Taihang and Taiyue military divisions, with nearly 50,000 troops, to cross the Taiyue Mountains to the west and attack the Changzhi Basin.  The 36th Division stationed in the Changzhi Basin, after the combat regiment under its jurisdiction was annihilated, there were only one regiment of workers, cavalry, artillery, and luggage, and one tank brigade, which can be said to have lost its combat effectiveness.  Although there are nearly ten thousand puppet troops with one division and two brigades, everyone in the world knows the virtues of puppet troops. Relying on them to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army with aircraft, tanks and cannons is tantamount to nonsense.  You have to be on guard against these "battlefield uprisings" at all times, so although the war has not yet started, there is no suspense about the battle situation on the East Road.

    In fact, this is indeed the case, and not only the East Route Army, but also the other three-way attack troops are progressing very smoothly.  It's no wonder that the current Eighth Route Army is not the "Tujiao" that a gun tower could stop a regiment from attacking a year ago. Four zero fires and recoilless guns can easily handle these brick-and-earth structures.  If you encounter a bunker built with reinforced concrete, 85mm tank shells will immediately flock to it and blow it up to the sky together with the defenders inside.

    When encountering a sniper position below the brigade level, it is the turn of the artillery battalion of the regiment to perform. More than a dozen 85mm howitzers and 107mm rocket launchers continue to output artillery fire for more than ten minutes.  Enough to turn the position into a sea of ??flames, what?  Is there any enemy resistance on the ground?  Then there is another round, anyway, there are plenty of shells.  After the enemy is almost wiped out by artillery fire, the infantry can follow the armored troops to collect the corpses.

    If it is a village, town, or county seat backed by a city wall, then the divisional artillery regiment and the air force will be happy. Incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, arrow shells, and high-explosive anti-personnel bombs, this "kill you three thousand" combination suit first  For half an hour, after turning the outer positions and the barracks and artillery positions in the city into a sea of ??flames, let those 105, 130, and 152 mm thick pipes be blasted against the city wall, or simply let the Type 62 tanks go  After the opening of the hard steel city gate, the infantry rushed in with the armored vehicles, and resolved the battle vigorously.

    Just like this kind of bullying with ammunition and technical weapons, if the speed of advancement is not fast, it will be called hell!

    Of course, in addition to this point, the lack of Japanese troops and the lack of unified command are also very important factors-the battle of Linfen wiped out nearly half of the Japanese troops in Shanxi.  The remaining troops were relatively scattered, and the garrisons in various places were completely unable to effectively resist such a sharp attack by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, Yoshio Iwamatsu and Chief of Staff Hanaya Masao both died.  command.  The various divisions and independent brigades could not form effective cooperation at all, which gave the Eighth Route Army an opportunity to take advantage of.

    However, those Japanese army divisions and brigade leaders were not given in vain.  After discovering his own weakness, he hurriedly sent Okamura Ningji power to send reinforcements quickly, and at the same time immediately withdrew his troops, handing over the outlying strongholds, villages, and even county towns to the puppet troops for garrison.  Transfer all the Japanese troops back to Yuncheng and TaizhouFortifications were deployed around several core cities such as Changzhi and Changzhi, and they stood by and waited for help.

    The idea of ??the Japanese army is good.  But the problem is that the gang of puppet soldiers can also see this obvious way of using themselves as cannon fodder to delay the Eighth Route Army's march. These two devils saw that they didn't even want their ancestors, and they were poked in the back for the Japanese army.  They worked like bullshit, but in the end they ended up like this, so they stopped working immediately. They knew that the Japanese army in Shanxi would definitely not be able to run for a few days, so they simply stopped doing nothing, found the Eighth Route Army, and voluntarily surrendered.  Of course, quite a few puppet troops were unwilling to follow the Eighth Route Army.  These people are mainly the former units of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, and they found the dusty yellow or light blue uniforms.  In a flash, he became the national army again.  However, there are also some people who really can't find their old military uniforms, so they just take off the five-color stars on the hats, ask the blacksmith to make a small circle, find some paint and draw a pattern of blue sky and white sun on it, and put it on the hat  One click and it's all over.

    So in the blink of an eye, the banner of the blue sky and white sun was flying again in most areas of central and southern Shanxi.

    Although such a situation accelerated the advancing speed of the various departments of the Eighth Route Army again, it also caused the commanders and division commanders to tell the truth-why did the areas that were recovered only because of our deterrence become Kuomintang in the blink of an eye?  territory?

    So he told the troops that anyone who did not surrender like the Eighth Route Army, no matter what military uniform he was wearing now, would still be treated as a puppet army.

    Originally, those puppet officers and soldiers who had turned into the national army wanted to argue a few words, but when they saw the murderous faces of those Eighth Route Army soldiers, the black muzzles of their guns in their hands, and the barrels thicker than their thighs, they immediately gave up.  , One after another, they took off the national army uniforms they had just put on and accepted the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army. Many people secretly muttered: Hey, if I knew the result would be like this, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered!

    However, they were forced to accept the reorganized puppet army.  They were all on the offensive route of the Eighth Route Army, and they hadn't taken care of some remote villages and towns, so Yan Xishan saw an opportunity, and the old fox immediately sent someone to go to  All over the country, the puppet troops who wore the uniforms of the national army were all incorporated, and they controlled those counties and villages, which logically became the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

    The war was urgent, and the bosses naturally wouldn't fight Yan Laoxi for territory at this time. They ordered the troops to go straight to the big cities where the Japanese army was defending.  They are going to deal with Yan Xishan, an old fox, after the Japanese army is completely wiped out.

    Without the obstruction of the puppet army, the advance speed of the troops of the Eighth Route Army equipped with a large number of mechanized vehicles can be described as very fast.  It only took less than three days.  The South Route Army, the Middle Route Army, and the East Route Army rushed to the cities of Yuncheng, Taiyuan, and Changzhi respectively, and surrounded these three important towns.

    Several division heads were shocked when they saw this.  Once again, Gangcun Ningci was urged to quickly send troops for reinforcements, otherwise, Shanxi would be in danger!

    After receiving the telegram, the North China Front Army Command was shocked. All Japanese officers, including Ningji Gangmura, did not expect the Eighth Route Army to act so quickly.  In just a few days, they have arrived at the base of these important towns, among which Taiyuan is the most important.  You must know that Taiyuan is the heart of Shanxi.  It is also an important link connecting Jinzhong and northern Shanxi. Once it is lost, the Xinzhou Basin will definitely be lost, and once the Jinzhong Plain is lost, it means that the Japanese army lost the entire Shanxi.  And once Shanxi is lost, the North China Plain will be in danger.

    Neiji Okamura certainly would not allow Shanxi, which was defeated by hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of casualties, but the problem is that he has no soldiers to adjust at this time (Remember this website URL: www  .hlnovel.com
