    Chapter 671: Release the Water

    The Japanese troops in the Heshun direction did not continue to attack the Guanshan defense line to seize Niangziguan and regain Shijiazhuang and Baoding. However, they had the intention of attacking Taiyuan with more than 80,000 troops. Tang Qiuli was confused by this uncharacteristic behavior of the Japanese army. The 80,000 troops  It was obviously impossible to attack Taiyuan. What they had to face was hundreds of thousands of Jin troops. In the defensive battle of Wuxiang, the Jin army was emboldened. Eighty thousand people could not accomplish anything at all. Taiyuan was Yan Xishan's lifeblood. He still had  Don't fight the Japanese.

    Besides, there are more than 80,000 troops of Feng Jiwu Corps behind him. Could it be that Okamura Neji lost his mind after losing Tianjin and let this Japanese army die? The mystery here has not been solved yet. Chang Feng in Huangyadong  An emergency telegram was sent, "Division commander, at about 9 o'clock this morning, the main force of the Japanese army that was besieging Huangyadong suddenly withdrew from the area around Huangyadong and its whereabouts are unknown. Only one division's troops were left. They continued to maintain the offensive posture, but the offensive  Since the situation is greatly weakened, I would like to ask the division commander if we can launch a counterattack and annihilate this Japanese army near Huangya Cave?"

    What?  Okamura Neiji withdrew his troops from Huangyadong. This is definitely good news, but where did he go?  This old devil is really hard to figure out. He has been missing in Tianjin for three days before he wants to move. He ordered Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, to immediately send a telegram to Sun Zhenbang and the special operations units to find out who Gang was.  As for the whereabouts of Cun Ning's main force, the sooner the better, contact various units of the Eighth Route Army and ask for the same information.

    Not knowing Okamura Neji's next plan, he couldn't deal with it. Before Yu Deshui left, the director of the Communications Department rushed in, holding several telegrams in his hand. It seemed that he had run all the way here, panting.  Report: "Division commander, Commander Sun Zhenbang reported that the Japanese troops around Huangyadong were all assembled in Qin County, and the Japanese troops monitored by the special operations units were assembled in Xiying. In addition, the Eighth Route Army headquarters sent an enemy situation report  , the Japanese troops opposite the Eighth Route Army units gathered with Zhangyuan as their destination. "

    "What?" Tang Qiuli asked loudly. He took the telegram and read it carefully. The more he looked at it, the darker his expression became. All the telegrams explained one problem. Okamura Neji was moving, and all the Japanese troops in the Taihang Mountains were moving.  The troops were on the move. He rushed to the map and marked out the Japanese army's assembly points. After reading it, he took a breath of air.

    Understand, all the gathering areas of the Japanese army are centered around one direction, which is Wuxiang. Wuxiang is the southern gate of Taiyuan, guarding the exit from the Taihang Mountains into the Jinzhong Plain. If Wuxiang is lost, the Japanese army can march straight in to attack Taiyuan.  There is no danger in the Jinzhong Plain. Okamura Neiji's move is cruel, vicious, and unexpected. Who would have thought that he would ignore the rear base in North China and allow himself to destroy his home base?  They were all in pieces, but they made a desperate attempt to attack Taiyuan.

    After understanding Okamura Neiji's intentions, the docile Japanese army did not attack Guanshan, but marched westward to attack Jinzhong. This can be easily explained. Okamura Neiji was betting that after occupying Shanxi, he would go south with the Kwantung Army and regain Pingjin.  area, Tang Qiuli secretly sighed. Okamura Neji's move may seem risky, but in fact it is the best way to solve the current passive situation of the Japanese army in North China. By occupying Taiyuan and even the entire Shanxi, Niangzi Pass and Jingxing Pass will lose their role as natural barriers.  .

    Okamura Neiji can wait for the arrival of the Kwantung Army's southward troops, go out of Niangzi Pass and Jingxing Pass in the east, penetrate directly into the hinterland of Hebei, and intimidate Shijiazhuang and Baoding. At that time, he will be threatened by the Kwantung Army in the north and Okamura Neiji in the south.  , can it still stand in Pingjin?  Absolutely not, we can only spit out Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Tianjin obediently to avoid their sharp edges. As a result, Pingjin and Tianjin were recovered by the Japanese army, and Okamura Neiji gained Shanxi.

    This man is an experienced soldier, capable of both danger and deceit. He takes the wrong approach, such as the siege of Huangya Cave, and the raid on Taiyuan. He can be called a famous general by the Japanese military in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War, but he is not a waste of money.  In vain, Tang Qiuli felt excited about meeting an opponent. However, Okamura Neji was unlucky. If the Kwantung Army went south and entered the pass earlier, Tianjin would not be able to defeat Okamura Neji.  It is not necessarily known whether there is another move to attack Taiyuan this time. Everything was forced by himself.

    Tang Qiuli was trying to figure out what Neji Okamura was thinking when his staff sent a telegram from Tang Qiusheng. The Japanese troops retreating towards Cangzhou had already joined the corresponding Japanese troops. Our troops in the Botou area had only intercepted about 10,000 Japanese rearguard troops.  , the result of the battle was very unsatisfactory, Tang Qiuli understood that it was not the troops going south from Tianjin that revealed their intentions, but this was a back-up move arranged by Neji Okamura.

    The Japanese army was heavily integrated into a group, nearly 400,000 strong. Although Tang Qiuli had Liu Tiehan Dongzhi's 220,000 troops, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps had 140,000 troops, plus four of Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison.  One brigade has more than 50,000 troops, two brigades of the Korean Iron Corps, and three brigades of Li Honggang's 29th Corps have more than 60,000 troops. The total strength can reach 470,000. No matter how good your teeth are, within a short time,  It can't swallow so many Japanese troops.

    ?????????? If you don¡¯t do it well, a few of your front teeth will collapse.Yoshimura Neiji calculated this accurately and allowed the Japanese army to concentrate. He wanted to eat you to death. If you kill this Japanese army, your own troops will be greatly weakened. It will be good to have more than half left, and there is Kanto who can enter the customs at any time.  Due to the threat of the Japanese army, the time for a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Pingjin area is far from mature.

    Anyway, after all, his work was not in vain, and he got something out of it. He ordered all the corps to stop attacking and monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on the spot. More than 80% of his troops were concentrated in the Pingjin area. He had to think carefully, don't be beaten by Gang.  Tang Qiuli thought it was strange that Ningji Okamura made dumplings, so he switched with Ningji Okamura. He occupied the Taihang Mountains, and wanted to occupy Shanxi, but he occupied Pingjin. This is inconsistent with history. Is it recorded in history?  it is wrong?

    Just as Tang Qiuli turned his mind to the important matter of Okamura Neji's attack on Taiyuan, a staff officer hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to the division commander that we have received a telegram from the Japanese troops monitoring Zhangjiakou on the Huailai and Xuanhua lines this morning.  At around 8 o'clock, Yan Xishan's Jin army suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou. According to observations, the Jin army dispatched more than 260,000 troops this time. The two sides are now engaged in a fierce battle outside Zhangjiakou. The Jin army has already  Controlling the Dongguan area, our unit did not participate in the battle because we were not notified in advance. Please ask the division commander whether to coordinate the Jin army to attack the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou? "

    Tang Qiuli held his head and groaned. In this chaos, various situations were intertwined. Yan Xishan added to the chaos, and there were people like him who didn't know whether to live or die. Okamura Neji's eyes were already fixed on Taiyuan. He was in his twenties.  Thousands of Japanese troops were preparing to attack Wuxiang, with their fangs exposed. He still wanted to attack Zhangjiakou. Yan Xishan's intention was simply naked, without any cover-up. He saw that he was attacking cities in the Pingjin area, and it was smooth sailing.  , after making enough money, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and attack Zhangjiakou. He was afraid that he would not agree, so he simply struck first, causing an established fact, and he was helpless.

    Zhangjiakou is the piece of fat that best suits Yan Xishan's appetite. Without much effort, he can connect northeastern Shanxi and northwest Hebei, bringing with him the rich products of the Bashang grassland. When he was fighting fierce battles with the Japanese army at Jingxingguan and Shijiazhuang,  I didn't see him reaching out, and he didn't even take action to stop the Japanese troops fleeing to Zhangjiakou. As a result, I lost nearly a regiment of troops. Now I saw an advantage. How can there be such a good thing in the world? I thought everyone else was the same.  You fool, Yan Xishan is the only one who can turn his head enough. Tang Qiuli despised this Shanxi native emperor in his heart.

    Since entering North China, especially after the July 7th Incident, what Yan Xishan did made Tang Qiuli feel really cold. He thought of getting rid of him more than once, but there was no suitable opportunity. Now that the opportunity came, it was accompanied by a huge  Due to the dangers, Okamura Neiji undoubtedly has a favorable situation in Shanxi, and there is also the unclear factor of the Kantung Army. More than 400,000 troops are concentrated in the central and southern Hebei plains. The troops cannot be hidden and cannot carry out large-scale attacks.  Strategic maneuvering, these are all disadvantages.

    If you are not careful, you will be caught between the Kwantung Army and Okamura Ningji. This is a gamble that is ten thousand times more dangerous than Okamura Ningji. The bet is on the Japanese army led by Okamura Ningji and Yan Xishan's.  The Jin army fought fiercely for a long time in Shanxi, and both sides suffered losses. They had plenty of time to deploy their troops and reap the benefits. If Yan Xishan's Jin army was defeated soon, and Okamura Neji's troops came over with the pressure of victory, he would have only  While running back to the Taihang Mountains, they had to deal with the Kwantung Army troops chasing after them.

    How long can this Yan Laoxi last?  Tang Qiuli had no confidence in his heart. He weighed all the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind. If you lose an order, you will be defeated. It will be difficult, it will be difficult to die. Tang Qiuli hugged his head and squatted on the chair, with a gloomy face.  From time to time, he groaned like toothache. Everyone in the division looked at him in surprise. They had never seen the division commander look like this before, and they couldn't help but worry.

    Mei Ting and Mei Xue were even more distressed, thinking that he had an unbearable headache. Mei Xue gently touched his forehead, but there was no abnormality. She wrinkled her beautiful brows, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion. Tang Qiuli had already fallen into almost half madness.  In the state of thinking, Mei Xue was not aware of Mei Xue's actions at all. Mei Ting had been with him for a long time. When she saw Tang Qiuli's eyes were blurred, she gently pulled the sister who wanted to ask, shook her head, like this  She had encountered this situation before and knew that this man would be in this state once something difficult to decide came up.

    "**, take a gamble and take advantage of this golden opportunity. With your decades of experience and thorough understanding of the history of the war, you still can't beat this old devil Okamura Neji?" Tang Qiu  Once Li made a decision, all his thoughts became clear, and his dazed eyes became clear again.  The look returned to his face.

    Mei Ting, Mei Xue, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Their familiar teacher was back again. Tang Qiuli stood up and looked at everyone with bright eyes. The determination between his brows and the fierce momentum radiating from his body made him  Everyone's hearts trembled. What new decision did the teacher make?
