The brigade commander climbed back to the turret and went to the command position just now.

The brigade commander, like Li Yunlong, fell in love with this position immediately.

"You guys, come here." The brigade commander waved, and Li Yunlong, Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang and several regiment-level cadres surrounded him.

Zhao Gang's face was not very good-looking.

I guess I was scolded by Li Yunlong again just now.

The brigade commander said directly: "Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, you will immediately take three battalions to the stone measurement base to protect the brothers in the third division to transfer gas masks."

"Gas mask?" The three commanders looked at each other.

I said, brigade commander, are we still thinking about attacking Yangquan County?

"Don't think about Yangquan County." The brigade commander didn't explain much.

He continued: "The batch of gas masks from the stone test site were brought back by Xiao Wang and the Wolf Warrior Squadron after great efforts. They have an irreplaceable effect in the next anti-sweeping operation, so you must protect them and transport these gas masks back to the headquarters in full!"

"Yes!" Cheng Shifa and the other two responded with a loud bang.

Immediately, I led my troops to the stone measurement site.

Seeing Zhao Gang turned to the beginning and ignored Li Yunlong.

The brigade commander asked, "Li Yunlong, have you scolded Zhao Gang again?"

"No, no." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "We have a good relationship with Political Commissar Zhao, why would we scold him?"

The brigade commander snorted: "You little bitch, pretend to be garlic with me. I don't know you yet? You must be blaming Zhao Gang for reporting your whereabouts to me, and it ruined the good things you and Ding Wei and the others in attacking Yangquan County, right?"

After all, he was the brigade commander, with his sharp eyes and golden eyes, and he could see through Li Yunlong's little thoughts at once.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brig Commander, what, don't we think this is an opportunity?"

"Is it an opportunity?" the brigade commander snorted, "Li Yunlong, you really have to thank your partner. If it weren't for your partner today, not only you, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa would have been implicated by you. At that time, you will never even have the chance to take the blame in my brigade cooking team."

"Ah?" Li Yunlong was stunned. What did you say?

Just as Wang Ye opened the front cover and drilled out, the brigade commander said, "Xiao Wang, tell your regiment commander."

"Yes." Wang Yeying said, "Captain, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, and this time they are not a corps or brigade, but it is very likely a division."

"What?" Li Yunlong was surprised and said, "A division?"

"Yes, a division." Wang Ye said again, "and it's the Guards Division."

"Guard Division?" Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "This name sounds very special."

Wang Ye said: "Let me put it this way, the duty of this Guard Division is to protect the emperor of the little Japanese, which is equivalent to our ancient imperial guards and the emperor's personal army!"

Zhao Gang said: "That must be the elite of the Japanese?"

"Yes." Wang Ye nodded, "It can be said that he is the elite among the elite."

"Elite?" Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "I'm fighting against elite."

"Since the Japanese guard division has arrived, don't think about going back. If one counts one, I must smash them."

"Li Yunlong, it's good that you have this ambition."

The brigade commander said: "At the end of time, when your independent regiment fights with this guard division, at that time, don't let me down."

"Yes, I guarantee that I won't lose the chain."

Li Yunlong stood attentively and said.

"Now I order!" The brigade commander waved his hand, "Go out of the direction of the Sangzhang, and warn the Japanese who came to the rescue from the direction of the Niangziguan to gain time to transfer materials for the brothers in the stone measurement base!"

...

At the same time, in Zhengding County.

A large number of Japanese troops were lined up and drove out from the railway station in a vast array.

To this day, Zhengtai Road has not been opened. The more than 100 kilometers of road from Jingxing, Hebei to Yuci, Shanxi is still under the control of our Taihang base.

Unfortunately, this situation can't last for a few days.

Because the 10,000 reserves recruited by the Japanese base camp from the local area, they had already arrived at Zhengding County by train.

The 2nd Guard Division, which was newly included in the battle sequence of the Japanese Army's 1st Army stationed in Shanxi, arrived at Zhengding County with the supplementary troops from the reserve.

The 2nd Guard Division is under the 3rd, 4th and 5th Guard Infantry Regiments,

In addition, the 2nd Guard Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Guard Field Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Guard Engineer Regiment, the 2nd Guard Packet Force Regiment, and the 2nd Guard Chariot Battalion.

In addition, there is the 2nd Battalion of Independent Field Heavy Artillery.

Therefore, although the 2nd Guard Division is a three-unit C division, it is even stronger than most A divisions in terms of firepower.

This shows how much attention the Japanese base camp attaches to the gains and losses of the Shanxi battlefield.

Under the rising sun, the troops and vehicles of the 2nd Guard Division, as well as the huge marching queues of reserve replenishment troops, were driving out of Zhengding Railway Station in a mighty manner.

At this time, a convoy suddenly drove out of the station.

The convoy consists of six side three-wheelers, two trucks and an armored vehicle.

After meeting the marching formation of the 2nd Guard Division, the outside convoy stopped.

So even a large number of Japanese leaped out of the two trucks and quickly imposed martial law on the streets outside the station. Even Japanese snipers occupied the nearby commanding heights.

Until the nearby two kilometers of areas are under the control of the Japanese,

The door of the armored vehicle finally opened, and an old Japanese bent down.

I saw that the old devil carried three general stars on his collar, and he was the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army. Okamura Yasuji, who is known as the Showa Miawu in the Japanese army.

Okamura Yasuji came to Maeding this time, and made a special trip to welcome Maeda Tadashi Maeda, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Guard.

Because Maeda Tada was not only a senior in the Japanese army, he trained a large number of senior generals during his tenure as the head of education at the Army University. To some extent, Okamura Yanji was also his student.

Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka was going to come too, but something was delayed.

Seeing Okamura Yasuji, the Japanese soldiers of the 2nd Division of the Guards raised their hands to salute.

Okamura Yasuji and several senior generals accompanied him also raised their hands to return the gift.

A moment later, an armored vehicle was separated from the 2nd Guard Division and parked next to the highway, and the door opened.

First, a major officer came down, then turned around and protected the lintel with his hand.

Then an old Japanese man who was already old and had a gray beard walked down.

This old Japanese man is nothing else, he is the commander of the 2nd Division of the Guards, Tadashi Maeda.

Okamura Yasuji took the initiative to meet him and said with a smile: "Maeda, thank you all the way."

"It's all for the empire, so how can you talk about the word "hard work" Maeda Tada waved his hand and said.

"Sodes." Okamura Yasuji nodded slightly and said, "But Maeda-kun first took a boat, then took a train. He has been busy for several days. Why not take a rest in Zhengding for several days?"

"No need." Tadashi Maeda said, "I can still withstand such a little bit of running around."

"That's right." Okamura Yasuji smiled slightly and flattered without a trace. "Maeda's old age is getting stronger. Who knows it in the Imperial Army? Who doesn't know?"

The senior generals standing behind Okamura Yasuji also laughed.

Tadao Maeda also burst into laughter, and his white beard shook.

Because Okamura Nagaji was talking about a hobby of Tadashi Maeda: he liked to deceive the geisha house.

Moreover, every time I lie to the geisha house, the old devils will inevitably order at least two young geisha to play with.

For decades, the old Japanese devils' hobbies have never stopped, and are well known in the entire Japanese army. Tadashi Maeda was not ashamed, but rather happy.

Maeda Tada no Yoshinobu laughed twice and said, "Okamura is too good, and he is still stronger. He just understands the way to maintain health. If Okamura is free, why don't we share some experiences?"

"I don't feel like this." Okamura Yasuji sighed and said, "Maeda, I'm not to hide it. Another incident happened in Taiyuan last night, and the losses were huge!"

"Is that true?" Maeda Tadao frowned, "What's going on?"

Okamura Yasuji revealed what happened in Taiyuan last night.

"Nani?" Maeda Tadashi said sternly, "Is the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi so arrogant? How dare you launch an attack on Taiyuan, where the 1st Army Command is located? And let them succeed?"

He paused and said, "I said, why didn't Shizuka Jun come to meet me?"

"Yes." Okamura Yasuji said, "If something like this hadn't happened, how could Shizuka Jun not come to greet you? Even so, Shizuka Jun would still ask me to apologize to you."

"He said, after you arrive in Shanxi,"

"I went to Yangquan County to apologize to you in person."

"What crime is it for compensation?" said Maeda Tadashi, "Of course it's important to be a serious matter."

Okamura Yasuji said: "Maeda, now you have a preliminary impression of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, right?"

Maeda Tada nodded and said, "To be honest, before I set out to come to Shanxi, I thought that the situation in Shanxi might be very serious."

"But I didn't expect it,"

"It's even more serious than I thought."
