Soon.
The Hirata Detachment was dispatched quickly.
The entire elite force of 3,000 people quickly headed to the nearby station, but what frustrated them was that the nearest train would take another five hours to arrive.
The number of railway trains was not very large these days, and there were only a few trains running between cities every day.
Previously, in order to cooperate with the 29th Brigade's southward movement, the Taiyuan direction had already transferred all four trains in the surrounding area.
It was indeed difficult to pull another one in a short period of time.
There was no way.
Ichiro Hirata gritted his teeth and asked while reporting to the headquarters: "How many sidecars and trucks do we have?"
"Report!"
The adjutant immediately said seriously: "There are still 133 sidecars and 47 trucks."
"Yoshi!"
Ichiro Hirata nodded and said: "Although these cannot transport all of us, at least a battalion of troops can be quickly deployed! Now pass my order, the First Infantry Battalion will immediately carry heavy firepower to support! Remember, if you encounter the Tiger Guards, don't fight them, rescue them first!"
"Ha ha!"
The adjutant quickly received the order.
...
Taiyuan.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka naturally received the news.
It took him several seconds to completely digest this sudden situation. The moment Ichiro Hirata heard it, he felt that the world had completely changed.
Half a year ago, even if these rebels encountered their own battalion of troops, they had to go around, but now they dared to ambush the elite brigade heading south.
What happened?
"General!"
Hideyoshi Nanshan reported quickly: "The transportation capacity in Heyuan County is very limited. Captain Hirata has already allocated the first brigade to provide support in a mechanized manner. It is estimated that it will arrive in an hour and a half. However, most of the remaining troops are still staying at the railway station near the county. I hope that the headquarters will immediately send a train to provide support."
"No matter what, the Hirata detachment must be transported there immediately!"
"I have allocated the old train that is about to be eliminated in Songhui County. It is estimated that it will arrive in Heyuan County in an hour. If the time for advancing is added, it should arrive in two and a half hours."
"Yes!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.
All of them will arrive in two and a half hours at the latest.
This time is already quite fast. At least in the past, even if the ambush was fierce, it was common to fight for several hours.
Besides, the 29th Brigade was attacked this time. It was a unit that was preparing to go south to support the front battlefield. No matter how strong the Tiger Guards were, they could not defeat the entire brigade. He was very relieved about this. But when he thought that the entire brigade was in danger and even needed to apply for support, Shinozuka Yoshio's face looked very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This damn Tiger Guards actually joined forces with the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army to attack together. If they really succeed in this battle, then not only will the main battlefield be affected, but the situation in our Shanxi Province, especially in southwest Shanxi, will also become completely collapsed!"
"Don't worry, General!"
Nanshan Hideyoshi naturally understood this point. He said solemnly: "According to what we just got According to the intelligence received, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army dispatched the New 1st Regiment led by Li Yunlong and the 358th Regiment led by Chu Yunfei. Although these two are reinforced regiments with a large number of people and their combat effectiveness is far beyond the reach of other armed forces, they can never be compared with the Tiger Guards. Now the 29th Brigade has been cut into three sections. As long as General Aso can hold off the Tiger Guards' offensive, they will definitely win the final victory in this battle with the help of reinforcements! "
"Yeah."
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression eased slightly.
...
At the same time.
The Eighth Route Army Temporary Headquarters.
At this time, they naturally received various news.
"The devils in Heyuan County have made unusual movements? !"
At first, this news was enough to attract the attention of all the leaders of the headquarters.
As the gateway to southwest Shanxi, Heyuan County has always been noticed by all parties. At this time, the rapid dispatch of the Hirata Detachment obviously also provoked the nerves of all parties at the first moment.
"That's right!"
The chief of staff nodded and said seriously: "I just received news that the Pingtian Detachment in Heyuan County suddenly assembled on a large scale and headed for a nearby station, and later the 1st Infantry Battalion quickly took all the mechanical vehicles of the unit and quickly headed south. The specific purpose is not yet known."
"Is it going to launch another clearing operation?"
The commander-in-chief looked quite ugly, and muttered: "The 29th Brigade just left, and it is not reasonable to launch a large-scale operation now!"
Everyone present was also confused.
Although the situation in the entire southwest of Shanxi is still in the hands of the devils in the recent stage, with the continuous heavy blows of the Tiger Guards, evenAs for the field ace who was still destroying the devils on the periphery, the situation in the entire southwest of Shanxi was changing quietly at this time. At least the devils now dared not launch large-scale operations.
But now they suddenly went south!
This was naturally very unusual.
"Report!"
At this moment, a communications staff suddenly came in a hurry.
"Say!"
"Just got the information that the 29th Brigade of the devils heading south was suddenly ambushed by the Tiger Guards near Kangwangzhuang, and the two sides launched a large-scale fierce battle."
"What?!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
The 29th Brigade was ambushed by the Tiger Guards!
How is this possible?
Isn't Lu Zhixian too bold?
Everyone present felt a great shock, and no one could believe this amazing information.
Like most people.
Since the devils entered Shanxi Province, when did the armed forces dare to ambush the devil brigades? Most of them were quite good enough to attack the devil battalion head-on, let alone an entire brigade!
"Is Lu Zhixian crazy?"
After waking up, the commander-in-chief was shocked and angry, and said with a look of disappointment: "That is an elite brigade! Even if he wants to support the front battlefield, he can't directly ambush the entire Japanese brigade! Most areas in Kangwangzhuang are relatively open, which is completely different from the previous defense battle of Qingfengzhai!"
