    "Boom¡ª¡ª" "Boom¡ª¡ª" "Clang¡ª¡ª" Such an unexpected sound was suddenly mixed in with the blast of shells that almost filled his ears. Yoshio Shinozuka immediately looked in the direction of the sound.  As a result, all I saw was a kettle that had been knocked to the ground. Beside the kettle stood an embarrassed and slightly frightened staff officer.  "Why are you putting it on the ground? Pick it up." Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and scolded.  "Hi!" The staff officer breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the kettle and put it on the table. Then he and several other companions gathered around the map on the table and pretended to discuss the war at hand.  "The sound of gunfire has stopped." Shogun Hirata was standing next to Yoshio Shinozuka and also saw this scene. He didn't say anything, but he was a little surprised by the "peace" Yoshio Shinozuka had just shown.  Shinozuka Yoshio has been losing his temper a lot lately, and if anyone in the command post makes a small mistake, they must be reprimanded.  Just like last time, a staff officer was slapped twice by him because he couldn't hold back a sneeze. As a result, his eardrum was perforated So now those staff officers are a little afraid of the commander.  As the deputy chief of staff who succeeded Muto Akira, Masabu Hirata once tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. On the contrary, he even felt embarrassed, so he simply shut up.  "The sound of artillery has stopped, and the Chinese attack will come soon" Yoshio Shinozuka also sighed.  The Chinese want to take back Shanxi!  Originally, everyone regarded this as a joke.  Yes, the Chinese have an armored corps in Inner Mongolia, but this corps has no combat effectiveness at all.  The most important thing is that the Chinese lack follow-up spare parts.  So the large-scale armored weapons basically became decorations.  Moreover, according to the calculations of the base camp, the Chinese should not be generous enough to send this regiment to the battlefield as soon as they take over it.  This is not in line with the traditional habits of the Chinese people.  What's more, the cost of an armored corps attack is far higher than that of ordinary troops, and the Chinese government will definitely not be willing to do so.  And apart from this armored regiment, which is just a good-looking one, how much strength does the Chinese have to use to regain Shanxi?  Although the power of the Japanese Empire is now concentrated in Southeast Asia, the strength of the North China Front has not been greatly affected by this. Tada Shun was able to sweep across North China with this army. Today, they use this army to protect Shanxi  Will it still be a big problem? Therefore, although they did not take it lightly, the North China Front did not take this battle too seriously.  Especially when they heard that only Hu Zongnan's 34th Group Army was making moves in the Chinese army, and the rest of the troops like Fu Zuoyi, Yan Xishan, and Wei Lihuang were silent, they felt even more relaxed.  In their view.  This is another political trick played by Chiang Kai-shek, rather than a real desire to fight with them.  But facts have proven that empiricism can kill people.  Hu Zongnan, the so-called "No. 1 Huangpu student" who was hit hard by Shinozuka Yoshio and Tada Shun last time, finally showed some ability to live up to his name.  No positional warfare or reconnaissance was used, and the two divisions were directly used as the forward.  Moving forward at almost full speed, they were caught off guard.  Within two days, they defeated three county towns and dozens of strongholds.  Later, Tanabe Moritake, who succeeded Shinozuka Yoshio as the commander of the 1st Army and was responsible for guarding Shanxi, was furious.  He personally led the troops to attack, vowing to teach Hu Zongnan an unforgettable lesson.  After receiving the news that Tanabe Shengwu personally attacked, Hu Zongnan seemed to be a little scared, and immediately stopped the attack and put up a defensive formation.  Tanabe Moritake was fooled.  The two armies formed an array.  As soon as the war started, it took less than two hours.  The Japanese position was hit by nearly a thousand tons of artillery shells!  Tanabe Moritake was immediately stunned.  The Chinese are very "economical" in fighting wars.  If you can use mountain cannons, never use cannons; if you can use mortars, never use mountain cannons; if you can use grenades or heartless cannons, then never use mortars; if you can use people, then basically don't use cannons In the eyes of the Chinese,  Human lives are not valuable, shells are.  The lives of a regiment may not be enough for their few mountain cannons to fire two shells.  Even the "rich" Central Military Army basically has this kind of thinking.  Therefore, Tanabe Moritake never considered that he would be bombarded by Hu Zongnan on a large scale. Instead, he made a lot of camouflage on the position to prepare for the bombing of the Chinese Air Force.  But Hu Zongnan just adopted such a "unable to live" style of play, and it was exactly like this that Tanabe Shengwu's position was broken through by Hu Zongnan after only half a day of setting up.  The Japanese First Army, which had once achieved brilliant results, retreated in panic, and Hu Zongnan led his troops in hot pursuit.  At the same time, the Chinese Air Force, which had not been seen on the battlefield, finally appeared.  The two airborne regiments blocked the only way for Tanabe Moritake's main force to pass. With the assistance of Air Force fighters and bombers, they held on to the retreat.  One day later, Hu Zongnan also caught up with him. Without saying hello, he came up with another fierce attack.Heavy bombardment.  According to calculations, Hu Zongnan should have consumed at least two thousand tons of artillery shells before hitting Taiyuan.  But it¡¯s worth the huge expense.  Tanabe Moritake and the 1st Army led by him were beaten dizzy under such a fierce attack. They were not as "cool" as when the Japanese army faced the Chinese army in previous years.  On the contrary, they seemed to have fallen out of step with the former national army. Although their performance was far from that bad, with the death of Tanabe Jinbu and the successive defeats of the troops, who would care whether they fought hard or not?  Not long after Shinozuka Yoshio took over Shun Tada's position, he found that the situation in Shanxi was critical, and he didn't care much about it. He hurriedly gathered the troops he could and headed for Shanxi.  But the morale of the Japanese army was low, especially in the southern part of Hu Zong's style of fighting. It seemed that the artillery shells were free of charge, and most of them were cannons with a caliber of 100CM or above. They were so powerful that the Japanese army was unable to use them.  The hands and feet were confused, including Yoshio Shinozuka.  However, Hu Zongnan could live without it, but Yoshio Shinozuka had to persist.  Although Japan has devoted all its efforts to attack Southeast Asia and gained a huge advantage, they are still unable to transform Southeast Asia's resources into military strength.  Moreover, attack Siberia first, and then Southeast Asia.  The supplies that Japan can allocate are already very few, and Yoshio Shinozuka must "save"!  If it was before.  If you save, you save. At worst, you have to compete with the Chinese army on the courage, marksmanship and combat experience of the soldiers. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army far exceeds that of the Chinese soldiers. They can win even if one is equal to ten. They are not afraid.  But things are different now. The Chinese army no longer fights with them, nor does it use human sea tactics. Instead, they play with "materials" and "weapons"!  Just like when the Anti-Japanese War first broke out, the Japanese army faced off against the Chinese army.  Yoshio Shinozuka retreated in a row.  Now we can only defend Taiyuan.  And outside the city is Hu Zongnan's entire 34th Army!  He has been surrounded by the opponent he once looked down upon.  ***************************************************  **"Niang Xipi¡ª¡ª" Outside Taiyuan City, a swearing dialect in Fenghua, Zhejiang with a Shaanxi flavor came out from the former enemy headquarters of the 34th Group Army.  However, no one would mistake this for Chiang Kai-shek, because everyone present knew that it was Hu Zongnan's voice.  "The Japanese army is exhausted and has little fighting power. If you give me another three days, I will definitely be able to capture Taiyuan City. I can also capture Shinozuka Yoshio and Hirata Masabu alive. What do you mean by asking me to stop now?" "No.  Have you already said it? The central government has overall considerations." Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army, sat aside, crumpling the military cap in his hand into a ball and throwing it on the table angrily.  "Think about it as a whole, think about it as a whole Have they considered the situation we are facing? Once the offensive is stopped, the Japanese army will be able to reorganize an effective defense." Hu Zongnan seemed furious, "As long as Taiyuan can be captured, Yoshio Shinozuka can be captured alive.  "The recapture of Shanxi is just around the corner. What can be more important now?" "From the beginning of the war to now, more than 3,000 tons of artillery shells have been consumed. How can we explain to the father of the party?"  Fan Hanjie, commander of the Seventh Army, was also very angry.  He and Song Xilian were the main forces attacking Taiyuan this time.  Song Xilian was just that. He was a first-year student in Huangpu. Not only was he a classmate of Hu Zongnan, he was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the 34th Group Army and a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek. He had previously fought against the Japanese army one-on-one at Fujin Mountain, and had shown great authority.  The credit is also impressive.  But he couldn't do it. He used to hang out with the 19th Route Army. The 19th Route Army staged a coup against Chiang Kai-shek in Fujian. Although he "changed things" in time and gained the attention of Chiang Kai-shek, his foundation was not clean after all.  , it is in great need of a performance to consolidate its foundation.  Furthermore, as a general, who can bear the feeling of seeing a great victory in front of him, but suddenly being dragged away?  "I think some people are jealous." The commander of the First Army, Ding Delong, suddenly slapped the table. "After counting the many wars in the past, how could any of them have been able to recover a province like ours? Some people are jealous of such a great achievement!"  "Send a report to the principal!" Hu Zongnan gritted his teeth.  As the commander of the first army of the direct lineage of Huangpu, Ding Delong, the guy who graduated first in the fourth grade of Huangpu, still carries a lot of weight.  And due to Ding Delong's reminder, he immediately thought of one person: Chen Cheng!  Chen Cixiu!  It must be the guy who is always against him. He is afraid that he will be rewarded for his meritorious service and further strengthen his weight in the chairman's heart, so he is trying to trick him at this time.  "Yes, send a report to the principal!" Song Xilian also shouted from the side: "Let's just say, principal Meng Jian: Our soldiers fought bloody battles, their morale is high, and now we are about to defeat the enemy. Once the attack is stopped, the enemy will have a chance to breathe  "There is nothing we can do to give the enemy a chance to breathe! Shoushan, Yin Guo, I know you are very unhappy now, but even if you are not angry, you must slow down the offensive first."Come.  " Song Xilian quickly considered the words in the telegram. It was very particular. Even if they were angry and angry, they could never say something like saying that the chairman of the committee was deceived by a villain, because that in itself was a criticism of Chiang Kai-shek.  Such an insult. How could the leader be deceived by a villain? But just as he was chanting the telegram, a man suddenly broke into their headquarters. "Sir Zhang?"  " Seeing the person coming, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian and others were all startled, and hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward. Zhang Zhizhong was the director of Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room, how could he suddenly come to Shanxi? "I heard that your offensive was very urgent.  Yoshio Shinozuka was almost powerless to fight back, and the chairman was very relieved.  But it is precisely because of this that I had to come because I was afraid that you would disregard the central government's instructions.  "Zhang Zhizhong was not polite to this group of people, not only because he was the director of Chiang Kai-shek's attendants and had a higher status than these people, but also because he was the captain of the cadets of Huangpu Military Academy and could be regarded as the teacher of Hu Zongnan and others. "Let me tell you the truth.  , The attack on Shanxi is not just to regain Shanxi. This matter is of great importance and also involves our strategic layout in Southeast Asia The chairman of the committee had issued strict orders before I came. None of you are allowed to violate military orders.  Once there is a violation, we will never be lenient!  " "But Chief Zhang, we can capture Shinozuka Yoshio alive right away" Ding Delong said angrily. "Who is Shinozuka Yoshio? Can he compare to aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars?  " "?"
