"Report to Deputy Commander Tang, Deputy Commander Zheng, and the commander urgently!" Communications platoon leader Xue Ya suddenly rushed into the war room.

Tang Yufeng and Zheng Yunshan looked at each other for a moment, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Tang Yufeng spoke first: "It must be that the regiment commander already knows the danger that the defense zone is about to face!"

After saying that, he received the telegram and browsed it. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. He shouted with surprise: "The leader of the regiment plans to come back in person to counter the sweep. Is this too risky?"

After reading the telegram, Zheng Yunshan asked Tang Yufeng with a worried look on his face, "The battle for Shimen has not started yet. The regiment commander is back to the defense zone now. What if it affects the front-line war?"

"Old Tang, I think we should persuade the regiment commander to make the frontline war first and never lose sight of one thing!"

"Although the Japanese and puppet troops in the offensive defense zone are coming in full force, we are not vegetarians. Even if we can't defeat them, it will definitely be fine to rely on guerrilla warfare to hold them back!"

"If the regiment commander is really worried that he must come back, he must wait until the main force captures the Shimen before coming back."

Tang Yufeng also had this worry in his heart, but he quickly felt relieved: "Forget it, it's useless to think about more here!"

"You don't know the leader of the group. As long as you make a decision, you won't be able to pull back ten horses."

"The telegram has written all the preparations we will do next, which means that the team leader has considered our concerns and even thought about the specific way of fighting against the sweep. We must believe the team leader!"

Tang Yufeng suddenly chose to believe in the group leader, and Zheng Yunshan was unable to whistle, so there was definitely no reason to continue to refuse.

I can only focus on the telegram: "The leader of the regiment really does not fight a battle without confidence. Since he has made a decision, we can only support it!"

"But I think it is difficult for the team leader to make a few preparations. Not to mention anything else, the item of breaking the Zhengtai Railway alone cannot be completed!"

"Although the Japanese mobile troops operating along the Zhengtai Railway have been transferred, the large and small strongholds along the line are still there. Ordinary troops will definitely not be able to break these strongholds, so they cannot get close to the railway line and break the Zhengtai Railway."

"Only three garrisons have the strength and have to bring a certain number of mountain cannons and infantry cannons to ensure that they are foolproof."

"But as far as I know, the three garrisons are all operating in their own defense zones, and only the Yangquan garrison is a little closer to the Zhengtai Railway, but it is also thirty or forty kilometers away."

"If the Japanese army had already started to increase the troops of the Zhengtai Railway and waited for the Yangquan garrison to march and kill him, the Japanese reinforcements would have built the Zhengtai Railway into a solid wall, and it would be difficult to successfully take it down."

Tang Yufeng frowned and analyzed: "The Japanese army took the train to deploy defense along the railway line. We raided the railway line with two legs, and our speed was indeed not as fast as the Japanese!"

"But it's up to man, we don't have to march with two legs."

"Platform Commander Xue, please send a telegram to the Yangquan garrison immediately, asking them to draw two reinforced companies and two mountain cannons, and march quickly to attack the Zhengtai railway line. The faster the better!"

"Old Zheng, go to the baggage battalion and order the car transport company to set off immediately, catch up with the Yangquan garrison troops attacking the railway line, and send them to the battlefield as quickly as possible, and break the Zhengtai Railway!"

Zheng Yunshan did not move, and asked with a worried look in response to Tang Yufeng's eyes: "Old Tang, you have thought about it!"

"It's daytime now, and after the car transportation company is exposed, it will be 100% bombed by the Japanese army. Even if they successfully complete the task, it is very likely that they will not be able to come back?"

"If the Japanese planes come too fast and the transport company and the troops are attacked on the way to the battlefield, not only will the transportation company be devastating, but the two reinforced companies sent by the Yangquan Garrison will also not have one ten left in the air strike!"

Tang Yufeng was unmoved and insisted on his order just now: "As long as we are fast enough, the two strengthening companies will definitely arrive at the battlefield safely!"

"After the transportation company was exposed, it took time for the Japanese intelligence personnel to convey messages and the command center to make bombing decisions, and it also took time for the plane to take off from the airport. It would take three hours to wait for the plane to find the transportation company to launch an attack, no matter how fast it was."

"As long as there is no accident during the marching, three hours are enough for them to rush hundreds of kilometers to successfully complete the transportation mission."

"As for the transportation company, it will be gone if it is gone. As long as we successfully break the Zhengtai Railway and successfully slow down the speed of the Japanese army blocking the Zhengtai Railway, this price can still be afforded!"

"But you must remind the Transport Company that if the convoy is bombed by Japanese planes, all drivers will abandon their vehicles and retreat as soon as possible."

"We can still seize the car from the Japanese if there is no car. If the driver is gone, we will not drive away no matter how many cars we seize!"

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, the commander personally took charge of the command center to coordinate all participating troops. Every few minutes, a staff member rushed to the front to report the situation, and marked the relevant situation on the sand table so that the commander could see the latest battle situation more intuitively!

"His Excellency Commander: The counterattack troops commanded by the Chief of Staff have left the city for five kilometers. On the way, they were attacked twice by the National Salvation Army, but they were quickly repelled. The troops are advancing towards Jinzhong County at a speed of four kilometers per hour!" A communications officer ran to the commander to report.

The commander kept staring at the sand table and started to give orders without raising his head: "Remind the Chief of Staff that the counterattack troops must be more vigilant and take steady steps. It is better to be slower than give the national rescue army any opportunity to take advantage of."

"The main force of the National Salvation Army was dragged by the Hebei garrison in Jingxing Mining Area. As long as we block the Zhengtai Railway in time, they will not be able to return to the defense zone, and we will have enough time to launch an attack!"

After the communications officer took the order and left, the commander raised his head and looked at the deputy chief of staff: "Have the troops blocking the Zhengtai Railway set off?"

The deputy chief of staff quickly reported: "The National Salvation Army entering Hebei was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and combat vehicles. In order to prevent them from attacking the Zhengtai Railway, the chief of staff specially allocated a large number of rapid-fire guns and field guns to the reinforcements."

"The addition of these heavy equipment has caused the troops to pedal speed by an hour later than the scheduled time."

"Bizhi has sent someone to urge him, and the army can set off in another hour!"

After hearing this, the commander's expression was very complicated, and he frowned and ordered: "The Chief of Staff was very thoughtful."

"After learning that the defense zone was attacked, the National Salvation Army will definitely attack the Zhengtai Railway at any cost and return to the defense zone."

"With rapid-fire guns and field guns, several mobile brigades can rely on the Zhengtai Railway to severely damage the national rescue army's troops to return to the aid!"

"But those heavy equipment is not the reason why the mobile brigade delayed its departure time. As long as they think of more ways and send more personnel, they will definitely speed up the pedaling speed of heavy weapons!"

"Tell me the order, and the military headquarters will give them another half hour, and the military must set off on time!"

"Block down the Zhengtai Railway as fast as possible to prevent the national rescue troops operating in the mining area from returning to the rescue in advance."

The deputy chief of staff felt that the commander was a bit too difficult, but the military order had been issued and it was impossible to temporarily take it back. He could only pray in his heart that several mobile brigades were moving faster.

At this time, the intelligence officer suddenly ran over: "Chief, the National Rescue Army's automobile transportation unit has been dispatched. A total of twenty-five cars headed straight to Yangquan. The speed of driving is very fast, and they are not clear about their specific tasks for the time being."

"Where has it been?" the commander asked with a frown.

These cars won't come out early or late, but they just stared at the risk of being bombed by planes and came out to move. The plan must be quite large.

The intelligence officer responded very quickly, pointing to a point on the sand table to introduce: "We found a total of twenty-five cars in the National Salvation Army's automobile transportation unit. More than an hour has passed. Based on the driving speed of 30 kilometers per hour, we should be here now!"

The commander stared at the sand table and continued to ask: "Can you find out the specific tasks of the National Salvation Army's sudden dispatch of the vehicle transportation force!"

"As long as we understand this problem, we can predict the enemy first and judge the specific way of playing against our counterattack troops?"

The intelligence officer shook his head and explained: "It's very difficult. Even if we figure out the mission of the car transport company and when the information reaches Taiyuan, they might have successfully completed the mission."

"Although our army has lurked a large number of intelligence personnel in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone, in order not to expose the target, the two counties have distributed a radio station on average. After receiving the information, the front-line intelligence personnel first pass through manpower. Only after they reach the hands of the local officials can the news be transmitted to Taiyuan through the radio station, which requires a lot of time."

"Weizhi recommends dispatching the plane to blow up the transport team."

"No matter what their mission is, they can't continue to perform after blowing up the car."

The analysis of the intelligence officer is very reasonable. No matter how unwilling the army commander is, he has to settle for the second best: "Then we will dispatch the plane to blow up this transport team first!"

"Without the cars, the National Salvation Army will not be able to maneuver quickly in their defense zones. It will only benefit us but not harm us!"

"But your intelligence department must continue to find out the real purpose of the National Rescue Army taking risks to dispatch the transportation team!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, under the transportation of twenty-five cars, the commando sent by the Yangquan garrison successfully arrived near the railway line.

The car company that completed the transportation task retreated immediately.

In order to prevent the convoy from being taken by the Japanese plane in one fell swoop, twenty-five cars marched separately, but were still bombarded by the Japanese army half an hour later.

More than twenty aviation bombs fell from the sky in a row. Except for six cars who escaped by chance, the remaining nineteen cars were all blown into scrap iron.

When the news reached the Japanese army headquarters in Taiyuan, the commander said with joy: "The aviation war was fought well, without a single soldier, and only a few dozen bombs were used to knock out the rapid maneuverability of the National Rescue Army. It was so cost-effective!"

"Immediately inform the Chief of Staff: We have all the cars equipped by the National Salvation Army. He doesn't have to consider the rapid maneuverability of the National Salvation Army in the next attack."

The air force won the first battle, and the atmosphere of the military headquarters became more and more relaxed under the stimulation of this victory.

But the good times didn't last long. After only ten minutes, a nervous telephone soldier walked towards the commander: "Report to the commander, the railway garrison had just called, the Zhengtai Railway was attacked, and a three hundred-meter-long railway was destroyed. The army lined by the mobile brigade was blocked halfway and could only continue on foot!"

"Bageyalu, this is impossible?" The smile on the commander's face was instantly replaced by anger. He looked at the telephone soldier and shouted in disbelief.

The deputy chief of staff was also stunned by the bad news and frowned and analyzed: "As far as I know, there is no main force of the National Salvation Army along the Zhengtai Railway, and the nearest troops are dozens of kilometers away. It will take six or seven hours to reach the nearest railway by marching quickly."

"Our counterattack troops have only been out of the city for two or three hours, and the troops blocking the Zhengtai Railway have only been set off for less than an hour."

"Even if they reacted immediately, there would be only two or three hours of preparation time, and it would be impossible to fly to the railway!"

After listening to the analysis of the deputy chief of staff, the furious commander slowly calmed down. After a few seconds, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "No, we missed something!"

"Only relying on two legs alone, the Yangquan garrison of the National Saving Army cannot reach the railway line within two or three hours, but the National Saving Army has cars!"

"The National Salvation Army's auto transport team was three hours apart from being exposed to being destroyed by us, which was enough for the transport team to run a hundred kilometers."

"From the exposed location of the car transport team to the Yangquan garrison of the National Salvation Army, and to the near-rail line, all of them are only more than 80 kilometers."

"So the car transport team has a chance to send a unit of the Yangquan garrison to the railway line before it was bombed."

"This must be the case!"

"It can also be concluded that the National Salvation Army has noticed that we are going to attack their defense zone."

"The Zhengtai Railway is destroyed as soon as possible and prevent us from blocking the Zhengtai Railway line. We must want to transfer troops from Jingxing Mining Area back to the defense zone."

"We must not let their plot be accomplished!"

"Immediately order the mobile troops blocking the railway line to abandon the army and march to their destination. The military headquarters will draw some cars to assist them in the marching. We must block the Zhengtai Railway as quickly as possible!"

"I'll send another telegram to the Hebei Garage Command. The National Salvation Army has shown signs of warming up the defense zone. Please hold the National Salvation Army at all costs and buy time for us to occupy the National Salvation Army's defense zone."

"The last telegram was given to the Chief of Staff, telling him: The National Salvation Army already knew that we were going to attack their defense areas, and the enemy changed us. The previous steady combat plan must be changed!"

"After recapturing Jinzhong, the troops were divided into two groups and raided the National Rescue Military Defense Zone from Shouyang and Yangquan. We must occupy more places before the main force of the National Rescue Military returns to the Aid Defense Zone."

At the Shimen Japanese Army Headquarters, the commander was furious in the war room.

It was almost dark. The air force that the command had high hopes for was not discovered in the morning, but did not find anything for the whole afternoon. He also missed his horse and was killed by the National Rescue Army, and he lost his wife and the troops.

The progress of the infantry disappointed him even more.

The headquarters mobilized a total of 8,000 troops from the surrounding area to siege the national rescue army.

In the eyes of the commander, the National Saving Army suffered a great result last night, but if they killed one thousand enemies, they would suffer 800 of them. The National Saving Army would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

Eight thousand elite troops besieged the remnants of the National Salvation Army from all directions, and they will definitely be able to eliminate the remnants of the National Salvation Army in the mining area.

But the battle situation did not develop according to his ideas.
