Miyamoto Ueno said: "Itagaki-kun, General Suematsu Shigeru, and Major General Liu Hong are all outside Taiquan City and have not entered the city!"
Liu Hong is the commander of the Fourth Division of the Imperial Association Army.
Generally speaking, there is a systematic and regular puppet army, but their combat effectiveness is relatively poor, and they can only stand in front of the little devils to block bullets when the little devils are mopping up.
In addition to the problem of mountain tops, the puppet army also has this problem. Once the team has an old foundation, although the cohesion and combat effectiveness are higher, but the hearts of the people are separated, there must always be some small emotions and small ideas. Little devils always have doubts and bad conscience. The eight roads are connected to the land, and the puppet army is unreliable to work.
On the contrary, the equipment and morale of the local garrison in each county are higher than most of the troops of the puppet government's regular army.
Because they are generally directly controlled by the local little devil troops, with unified planning, unified organization, unified training, and unified equipment. Their weapons are supplemented in the guns for additional equipment of each corps, that is, little devil weapons and equipment.
At the same time, these local garrison teams are equipped with little devil commanders and instructors, and are completely commanded by little devils, because there are no factions and historical origins, and commanding is convenient.
In actual operation, most of the time, the Japanese army sergeant led the detachment to be directly assigned, which is equivalent to doping the backbone of the puppet army, because they are often used as cannon fodder, and the devils will throw a few bones in contempt for those who work hard.
The life of the puppet soldiers is very hard. They are either sorghum batter, yam eggs, or black beans, millet, and sweet potato noodles. They are often beaten by the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas for grabbing food. When it is sent to their country, when it is the turn of the puppet army, there is usually not even a little bit of dregs between the teeth, and only military officers can be special.
This is the case of the general puppet army, but this fourth division is directly under the first army, accepting direct control, unified planning, unified organization, unified training, unified equipment, well-equipped, and good combat effectiveness.
Now it is also assembled by Shinozuka Yoshio, just to deal with Li Yunlong's independent reorganization group 0...
This really gave Li Yunlong enough face, and at the same time it could be seen that they were really afraid of Li Yunlong.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Ueno Miyamoto, and said, "Miyamoto-kun, since Li Yunlong's independent reorganization team is coming to us, then we don't have to go find him!"
"Waiting for them to come to the door, and wipe them all out of Taiquan City!"
"Miyamoto-kun, immediately send my order to let the 114th Division, the Fifth Division and the Fourth Division of the Imperial Association Army all go to Xinkou, line up troops at Xinkou, and open up the formation for me at Xinkou. If you want to engage in positional warfare with the independent reorganized regiment, annihilate them in one go!"
"If we can win once in Xinkou, we can also win a second time!"
Miyamoto Ueno responded abruptly: "Yes!"
This time Shinozuka Yoshio will gather the elite of the First Army to fight to the death with the Independent Reorganization Group in Xinkou.
It can be said that the 114th Division, the Fifth Division, and the Imperial Association Army are all the elite of the Little Devils and the Imperial Association Army. In addition to the favorable geographical location of Xinkou, at the same time, they are still waiting for work. In Shinozuka Yoshio’s view, It is not a big problem to wipe out the independent reorganization group and Li Yunlong.
Indeed, the Little Ghost 5.6 gathered nearly [-] Japanese and puppet troops in Xinkou. Whether it is the total number of troops, equipment, or geographical advantages, it is much stronger than the independent reorganized regiment.
It seemed like a no-holds-barred battle.
Victory or defeat seems to have been doomed.
But if this battle is not fought for a day, no one knows who will win and who will lose.
…………
It took half a month for the independent reorganization group to hit Xinkou directly.
The speed was so fast that even the boss was shocked.
You know, it's only half a month.

Chapter 511 Boss Order: Support Operations! (Third update, please subscribe)
In just half a month, the independent reorganization group went from Ping'an County to Xinkou, and the speed was quite fast.
Like a broken bamboo, perhaps that's how it was described.
The speed is too fast.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Chief of Staff Zuo walked in quickly, came to the boss and said, "Boss, good news, good news."
The boss stopped his work, looked at the left chief of staff and said, "What good news!"
The chief of staff said: "I just got the latest news about the battle situation. The independent reorganization group has already reached Xinkou!"
"what?"
The boss was also surprised when he heard it. He looked at the location of Ping'an County and Xinkou on the map, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "This... it's only half a month, and it only took half a month. Li Yunlong's The independent reorganization group hit Xinkou? So fast?"
You know, from Ping'an County and Xinkou, you have to pass through a lot of enemy-occupied areas, and there are also many enemy-occupied counties.
Now the 05 independent reorganization group only took half a month to fight all the way to Xinkou, the speed is really too fast.
The chief of staff also said with a smile: "Yes, the speed of this attack is beyond our expectations!"
"I didn't expect the speed of the independent reorganization group to be so fast!"
The boss looked at the battle situation map, and said, "Behind Xinkou is Taiquan, so Xinkou's strategic position is very important, and it must not be easily breached, so the little devil must have put his heavy troops in Xinkou." s position!"
"That is to say, a large-scale battle will break out in Xinkou next."
The chief of staff nodded and agreed with the boss' analysis.
Xinkou was an important military site in ancient times.Located in the north of Xinding Basin, 100 kilometers north of Taiquan, it is a pass in the canyon of Wutai Mountain and Yunzhong Mountain.
In this Yugu River Road, there is a mountain with a small height, 16 kilometers long from north to south, and 3 kilometers wide from east to west, with its head resting on Jiehepu and its feet extending to Qincheng.
Xinkou Town is close to the foot of the right side of the northern end of the mountain, and the terrain is very dangerous.
Taking Jiehepu as the base point, the left side is the rolling Yunzhong Mountain, and the right side is the Wutai Mountain with overlapping hills, just like the Hulukou of this basin.Geographically, it is the traffic channel for entering and exiting Jinzhong; militarily, it is the last line of defense to shield Taiquan, which can be called a strategic throat.
Xinkou's defense and failure are directly related to Taiquan's safety.
So the little devil will definitely concentrate his forces on Xinkou.
The boss looked at Xinkou's geographical location and topographical map, and then said: "Xinkou's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the little devils concentrate their forces on Xinkou to start a positional battle, they will wait for work with ease, and in addition to the lack of equipment and troops, advantage, the Battle of Xinkou is very unfavorable for the independent reorganization group!"
"It seems that we have to help a bunch of Li Yunlong!"
"Old Zuo, which troops can we quickly mobilize to support Li Yunlong's independent reorganized regiment?"
The chief of staff said: "According to the current situation and situation, Kong Jie's independent regiment and Ding Wei's new second regiment are more suitable!"
"The development speed of these two regiments has also been very good in the recent period. The total strength of the two regiments has 8000 people, and they can reinforce Xinkou as quickly as possible."
Of course, the boss is very clear about the relationship between Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong.
They are old comrades-in-arms, they have a very close relationship and a deep personal relationship, and at the same time they can cooperate with each other tacitly.
The boss asked: "Are there any other troops that can be mobilized?"
Chief of Staff: "The current situation of other troops is not suitable for mobilization, and it is not impossible if they are forced to mobilize!"
Now the anti-Japanese situation in Northwest Shanxi is very, very complicated.
In particular, the Eighth Route Army was under great pressure.
Not all troops can be easily mobilized.
The boss hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then immediately issue an order to the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, let them rush to Xinkou to reinforce the Independent Reorganized Regiment, cooperate with the Independent Reorganized Regiment to fight, and capture the Independent Reorganized Regiment for me in one go." Reorganize the team!"
"We failed in the previous Xinkou battle, so we have to win back our previous defeat in Xinkou's position!"
In 1937, the Battle of Xinkou took place.
Operation Xinkou was a successful defensive battle in which the frontal defense and maneuvering operations behind enemy lines were achieved under the unified deployment and close cooperation of the war zone. It was also the largest and most intense battle on the North China battlefield in the early days of the War of Resistance.
The anti-Japanese army held its position for more than 20 days in the Battle of Xinkou, which effectively blocked the little devil's plan to advance south, and consumed a lot of the little devil's vital forces and materials and equipment.
However, the Battle of Xinkou failed in the end. At the cost of more than 10 casualties, more than 2 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, setting a new record for annihilating the enemy in the North China battlefield, but it was also a heavy blow to the little devil's arrogance and arrogant attitude. , which greatly enhanced the confidence of the military and civilians in the war of resistance.
At the same time, 710 also disrupted the little devil's vain attempt to invade China within three months.
Since Xinkouhui was defeated in the previous battle, the boss and chief of staff wanted to win this new Xinkou battle!
It is precisely because of this that the boss mobilized troops from the Eighth Route Army to reinforce the independent reorganized regiment.
The chief of staff responded loudly: "Yes!"
Although 8000 people in the two regiments is not a lot, but it is a little bit to help the independent reorganization regiment.
This is also a bit of the boss's heart and support within his ability.
Then, after receiving the order from the headquarters, Kong Jie's Independent Regiment and Ding Wei's New Second Regiment immediately marched towards Xinkou at high speed.
Kong Jie and Ding Wei also knew that Li Yunlong was going to fight Taiquan, and they also wanted to participate, but they also had their own strategic tasks, so they could not participate.
Now that the headquarters has issued an order to go to Xinkou to support the independent reorganization group, that is good news for them.
The Audio-Technica can finally fight side by side again!

Chapter 512 Yan Laoxi's Little Thoughts: A Battle of Honor? (Fourth update, please subscribe)
To be honest, both Kong Jie and Ding Wei wanted to fight Taiquan with Li Yunlong.
Now the wish has come true.
Both Kong Jie's independent regiment and Ding Wei's new second regiment set off for Xinkou.
………………
Qiulin Town.
Commander of the Second Theater Command.
Yan Laoxi also naturally knew the movements of the Eighth Route Army's independent reorganization regiment.
After all, it is impossible for such a large army to attack Taiquan mightily without noticing it.
Zhao Daiwen walked in, came to Yan Laoxi and said: "Sir, just got the latest information, the independent reorganization group has already attacked and reached the position of Xinkou!"
Yan Laoxi was surprised when he heard it: "What? So fast?"
It has only been half a month since Yan Laoxi knew that the independent reorganized regiment's target was Taiquan.
Called from Ping'an County to Xinkou in half a month?
Such an attack speed is really shocking.
Yan Laoxi was both surprised and delighted: "I didn't expect the independent reorganization group to attack so fast and aggressively, and hit Xinkou so quickly."
Zhao Daiwen: "Yes, this can be described as overwhelming!"
"Sir, Commander, look at this map of the battle situation. The important position of Xinkou is self-evident. The little devil must be heavily guarded. Therefore, it is very likely that Shuangfang will launch a big battle in Xinkou."
Yan Laoxi looked at the combat situation map, nodded and said: "Well, it will indeed be so."
"Xinkou is the barrier of Taiquan. Once they miss, Taiquan will be lost, so they will definitely concentrate their main forces on Xinkou."
Zhao Daiwen hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is a large-scale battle, should our Jinsui Army participate in it?"
During the first Xinkou battle, the main force was the Jinsui Army!
Because this Shanxi is Yan Laoxi's territory.
Now it is obvious that the independent reorganization group and the little devil will have a big battle in Xinkou again, so let's see if the Jinsui army wants to earn some fame and save some face.
After all, in the previous battle of Xinkou, the Jinsui army suffered heavy losses.
Yan Laoxi was silent.
Whether the new Xinkou battle can be won this time is unknown.
After all, there are quite a few Japanese and puppet troops in Taiquan's generation.
In particular, the puppet army is also a lot of puppet troops with strong combat effectiveness, not a puppet army with five scumbags.
If the ranking is based on combat effectiveness, the East China Puppet Army has the weakest combat effectiveness, the North China Puppet Army has weaker combat effectiveness, and the Puppet Manchukuo Puppet Army has the strongest combat effectiveness.
The puppet army in East China has the best equipment, but it is basically an army that is about to collapse at the touch of a button.
Most of the North China Puppet Army came from the surrender of the Central Army or local warlords, so they can still carry out symbolic resistance.
The Puppet Manchukuo puppet army generally has a high combat effectiveness, and it belongs to the first puppet army unit of the little devil in China.
In addition to the basic military establishment, the puppet Manchukuo puppet army also equipped with air force units, artillery units, automobile units, and even formed special forces.
Moreover, the puppet Manchukuo puppet army was mainly formed by some bandits, and they belonged to hardcore traitors.
Therefore, their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the puppet troops in other regions.
The Puppet Manchukuo puppet army brought great disasters to the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in North China and Northeast China, and they treated the anti-Japanese personnel even more cruelly than little devils.
