During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

"Send more people out!"

"Especially Taiyuan!" Just as the deputy chief of staff was about to leave, the commander-in-chief gave him instructions.

"Taiyuan?"

"Boss! You suspect something happened at Taiyuan?" the deputy chief of staff asked with a surprised look.

"Yoshio Shinotsuka's order is for all forces to return to the rescue!"

"Judging from the current state of the war in China, there is no need for a large-scale military operation to mobilize the First Army!"

"As for overseas destinations, it's not up to Yoshio Shinotsuka yet!"

"So there's a very high chance that something happened at Taiyuan!" the boss said in a deep voice.

"But boss!"

"Judging from the current troop strength of our entire Second World War zone!"

"No one poses a threat to Taiyuan, right?" the deputy chief of staff said after a pause.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Jin-Sui Army were tied down on the main battlefield!

Instead of the main force, who can attack Taiyuan City?

Or rather, it will have an impact on Taiyuan City!

Without heavy firepower, even a brigade couldn't possibly breach the city gate of Taiyuan!

Yoshio Shinotsuka is meticulous in everything he does; there's no way he wouldn't have thought of this!

"Let's investigate first!"

"The truth will always come out eventually!"

"And until we find out why Yoshio Shinotsuka withdrew his troops, I won't be able to sleep soundly!" the boss said, waving his hand.

The decision to withdraw the troops felt like a sharp blade piercing his chest!

It should be understood that the seemingly powerful Jin-Sui region cannot withstand another round of attrition!

"Yes, sir!"

The deputy chief of staff suddenly stood at attention and spoke.

……

at the same time.

Supreme Command Headquarters of the Second World War Zone!

"Commander!"

"Yoshio Shinotsuka has completely withdrawn his troops!"

"We've held them off!"

"Shinotsuka Yoshio's plan to capture Shanxi in ten days has failed!" In the command room, Yan Laoxi's deputy suppressed his excitement and said.

"It's not that simple!"

"Shinotsuka Yoshio has no reason to give up the meat that's already in his mouth!" Old Yan interrupted directly.

"Commander! This..." Upon hearing Yan Laoxi's words, his deputy could only manage a forced laugh.

"Have you made contact with Chu Yunfei yet?"

After a pause, Yan Laoxi frowned.

"Commander!"

"Chu Yunfei's unit has lost contact; they must have encountered a major battle!"

"We sent people to Hill 97 before the Japanese troops even withdrew! We'll definitely get news back by tomorrow at the latest!" the deputy quickly replied.

"Ok!"

"Commander! Do you think the 358th Regiment might already be..." At this moment, the deputy couldn't help but ask.

After all, everyone knows what losing contact means!

"will not!"

“If Chu Yunfei’s entire army had been wiped out, the Osaka Division would have been present on the battlefield for a long time!” Yan Laoxi shook his head and said.

"That's true!"

The deputy nodded.

The most likely scenario is that Chu Yunfei's troops blocked the Osaka Division's attack and held out until the Japanese troops completely withdrew!

While they managed to hold off the attack, the casualties were naturally extremely heavy, and it was only natural that they lost contact with the command post!

After all, the 358th Regiment was facing an entire Japanese division!

"But Commander!"

"I must say! Chu Yunfei's combat command ability is indeed quite good!" After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but praise.

A regiment-level unit managed to hold off an entire Japanese division's attack!

It's still a Class A division!

Even with its advantageous terrain, this is still incredibly impressive!

"If it's true, then Chu Yunfei is truly extraordinary!" Old Yan nodded with a hint of delight.

You should know that in order to prevent the Osaka Division from capturing Hill 97, he had already prepared a second line of defense!

But it's never been used!

If it's true, then Chu Yunfei's move will definitely boost the prestige of the Second War Zone, or rather, the Jin-Sui Army!

After all, a regiment-level unit managed to hold off an entire Japanese division's attack!

Even considering the entirety of Chinese history, this is enough to be recorded in the annals!

"Oh, right! Commander!"

"There's one more thing!" the deputy suddenly remembered and said.

"what's up?"

"Commander!"

“Just now, we received a telegram in plain text!” the deputy said, taking a deep breath.

"A plaintext telegram?"

Yan Laoxi couldn't believe it.

These days, only the Japanese like to use this thing!

"It can't be the Japanese, can it?" Old Yan frowned and asked.

"Commander! It really isn't!"

"They're from the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army?" Yan Laoxi suddenly became interested.

"Correct!"

"Commander! You wouldn't believe it if I told you!"

"This is a declaration of war!"

"And it was a regimental-level unit called the New Third Regiment under the command of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!"

"We have sent a declaration of war to Yoshio Shinotsuka!" the deputy said in a deep voice.

"Regiment-level organization?"

"To Yoshio Shinotsuka?"

As if he hadn't heard clearly, Yan Laoxi subconsciously raised his voice.

"Yes, Commander!"

"Nonsense!"

"That's pure nonsense!"

"A cheap trick!" Old Yan's face immediately darkened.

"But Commander!"

"This new Third Regiment once annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion..." the deputy paused, unable to resist saying.

Among regimental-level units, the strength of this new Third Regiment is quite impressive!

Through his investigation, he learned even more about the new Third Regiment, which greatly surprised him!

More than a month ago, the Eighth Route Army did not have this organization!

In other words, they had only been with the Eighth Route Army for a month!

Moreover, it is said that this new Third Regiment was reorganized from bandits!
