December 26th.

The Japanese Yamashita Regiment, which went deep into northern Shaanxi alone, was finally completely annihilated under constant attacks by the regular army and guerrillas.

On the same day, the Japanese 27th Division and 57th Division approached Baotou City; the Yantian Brigade arrived at the outskirts of Guyang!

The war is about to break out!

"Buzz buzz..."

Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and reconnaissance planes took turns appearing over Baotou City. They conducted reconnaissance, bombing, and strafing operations unscrupulously, causing considerable casualties to the defensive forces inside and outside the city.

The soldiers hid behind the bunker and watched the enemy planes come and go, and they were itching with hatred but had no choice but to greet the pilot's mother in their hearts!

Jiangdong issued a fatal order that anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were not allowed to shoot at Japanese aircraft in the sky.

The war has not yet reached its most difficult stage, so it is inappropriate to expose all kinds of firepower now.

"Legion Commander, do you think King De can take down the Japanese airport?"

After the Japanese plane left, Lu Zhuoran asked.

Perhaps because Jiangdong's threats were effective, King De had already agreed to send people to attack the Japanese airport in Suiyuan, but he only increased the time from three days to five days.

Jiang Dong looked at the sand table and said without looking back:

"The lineage of Dewang still has some history. As the saying goes, a hundred-footed insect is dead but not stiff.

Mongolians are accustomed to obeying the rule of princes and nobles. The best Mongolian men and the best warriors are all under the account of princes and nobles. Although King De is an opportunist, he must have a strong army around him. The Puppet Mongolian Army is like this

Troops on the surface do not count.

I estimate that King De has at least three to five hundred warriors in his hands. Well, I should say they are dead warriors!

As long as King De is determined, the airport will most likely be captured.

Don’t worry, there is still a team of hunters watching from the side, they will act on the camera, we just need to wait for the news quietly!"

"Well!" Lu Zhuoran looked at the sky outside the headquarters,

"I hope King De will move faster. I can't live through such a frustrating day for a day!"

Jiang Dong smiled,

"Tomorrow the Japanese army will launch a general attack on Baotou. Give them a taste of the sweetness and let the two main divisions jump in."

"The Second Independent Mixed Brigade was divided into two parts. One part was stationed in Wuchuan and the other part returned to Guisui!" Lu Zhuoran came to the east side of the river and said:

"We should first communicate with the Soviet Union. After the 57th Division and the 27th Division are surrounded, the Kwantung Army will definitely not stand idly by and let the Soviet Far East Red Army prepare early to kill the Kwantung Army and buy us time to reap the fruits of victory!

"

Jiang Dong thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Send a telegram to Lao Xie and ask him to tell Khachanov in person tonight. Annihilating two Japanese divisions can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the Soviet Red Army. They have no reason not to help!"

"Understood!" Lu Zhuoran hesitated for a moment.

"There are still two to three thousand Japanese troops in Guisui. With King De's strength alone, they may not be able to escape after attacking the airport. How about we let the 2nd Division and Ma Jiajun move to attack Guisui when the airport is in chaos?"

Jiang Dong looked at Lu Zhuoran with a cold expression.

"Why are you worrying about King Deok's life and death? Why? You really intend to keep your promise!"

Lu Zhuoran was stunned and smiled awkwardly.

"I have my own plan for the attack on Guisui. Don't worry about it. Go and do your own business!"

"yes!"

At present, the Yellow River defense line has not yet been established, and the encirclement still has the final link, so we must wait patiently.

Jiang Dong held a red tactical flag in his hand, but it was never placed at Guisui's position.

…

200 aircraft have arrived at the North China battlefield, which makes Jun Tada full of confidence in the next battle.

With planes hovering in the sky, Jiangdong's heavy artillery could not fire at will. Without the threat of heavy artillery, the imperial army would once again gain the advantage in firepower.

The target of Operation A is the oil fields in northern Shaanxi, but if it can weaken Jiangdong's strength and completely reverse the imperial army's losing streak, Tada Shun is also very happy to do it.

The battle in Suiyuan and Shanxi is being watched by the headquarters, the Kwantung Army, and even the entire China Expeditionary Force.

In order to obtain the oil fields, the Central and South China Front armies will prepare for the spring, and all offensive materials will be supported by the North China Front Army.

The stakes in this battle are very important, and Shun Tada knows that if he succeeds, he will rise to the top, but if he fails, he will fall into endless hell.

'The future of the empire and my destiny will change because of this. With the blessing of Amaterasu, we will win!'

…

December 6th at 11pm.

After trekking in heavy snow for several days, the 4th Division finally arrived at the scheduled combat location, Xinxian County and the Waizhuang area west of Xinkou.

A few miles away was the area where the Japanese troops were heavily stationed. In order not to be exposed in advance, the soldiers could only use the snow on the roadside to provide dry food and make a simple meal.

After traveling for several days, not a single brother complained. The destination was just ahead, and the soldiers all felt a surge of energy in their bodies.

"Division Commander, there is a Japanese infantry brigade and two puppet army regiments in Xin County. There is only one squadron in Xinkou in the north. The little Japanese did not notice anything and the defense is very lax!"

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion ran back and reported to Jia Dalin.

"Division Commander, we have arrived at the scheduled combat area. We should first send a telegram to the joint command headquarters to ask all units to cooperate with us!"

Deputy division commander Xu Zihe reminded.

Jia Dalin washed his face with pure white snow, took a deep breath and then said:

"Send a report to the Chief of Staff that our unit is scheduled to launch an attack on the enemies of Xinxian and Xinkou at 4 a.m. and strive to capture the two strategic locations before dawn. Please cooperate with all troops!"

"Yes!" The Director of Telecommunications nodded and accepted the order.

"map!"

Xu Zihe hurriedly asked the division staff to spread the map on the snow.

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion introduced the enemy situation to the map. Jia Dalin listened and nodded.

"The Japanese army will definitely panic after discovering our intentions. The retreat will be blocked, and the frontline troops will not be able to concentrate on fighting! Therefore, there will definitely be more little Japanese coming from the south, and the offensive will be more fierce!"

Jia Dalin looked at Xu Zihe and said:

"In this way, the 10th Regiment and the reconnaissance battalion are left to you to attack and defend Xinkou! I will take the 11th Regiment, the 12th Regiment and other troops directly under the division headquarters to defend the south. Is there any problem?"

"Teacher..."

Xu Zihe looked at the map and said:

"Why don't you leave the south to me, and you stay in Xinkou to command the overall situation!"

Jia Dalin stood up on the snow and looked far away to the east.

“That’s it, it’s settled, there’s nothing to argue about, both places are crucial and there’s no room for loss!

Go organize the soldiers to rest for a while, get up at 3 o'clock, and do your best!"

Xu Zihe and the commander of the reconnaissance battalion looked at each other and nodded before leaving.

The guerrillas followed the 4th Division until the troops stopped and they provided a lot of useful information.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the closing operation officially started.
Chapter completed!
