But what Okamura Neji didn¡¯t expect was that Xia Yang didn¡¯t seem to have any interest in Wuxiang County. He went directly south and occupied the cities such as Huozhou and Linfen that the Japanese army had abandoned.
Afterwards, they headed south from the Linfen area, making a big detour, and entered the Jincheng area.
It doesn¡¯t take much effort for Neji Okamura to obtain this information.
Because Xia Yang did not conceal the whereabouts of his troops, he knew very clearly that even if his troops were marching in a swagger, the Japanese army would have no way to stop them.
They have now lost the ability to take the initiative.
Whether it was against Taiyuan City, Huozhou, and Linfen, which were subsequently occupied by Xia Yang.
Because the mobility of the troops is too poor, they are simply unable to launch a counterattack on these cities.
After all, once these cities were attacked by the Japanese army. The armored troops, truck troops, and motorized infantry regiments in Taiyuan City can support these cities in a short time.
The Japanese army did not dare to take risks anymore. They chose the Changzhi area and planned to hold it as their last position.
Otherwise, once Changzhi is lost, Xia Yang's troops will be able to leave Shanxi from Jincheng and Changzhi and enter the northern Henan region.
Like a huge iron pincer, the entire northern Henan region is included in its attack range. As long as he wanted to, he could kill the Japanese troops in northern Henan at any time.
Starting from Licheng County in the north of Changzhi, attack eastward, and you can even drive your troops directly to Handan City.
And once they capture this city, relying on the favorable terrain of the Taihang Mountains, Xia Yang's troops can advance, attack, and retreat or defend.
Half a month after Taiyuan City was captured, Xia Yang's armored forces finally arrived at the outskirts of Jincheng City.
The troops gathered here at this time include not only the troops led by He Changxing and Wei Xing, but also the national army troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Because victory is in sight at this time, these national troops also want to come and join in the fun.
Xia Yang did not intend to rely on them to fight the Japanese army head-on. It would be good if this group of people could help him ensure the safety of his rear transportation lines and provide some artillery support.
On the outskirts of Jincheng, the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard and more than a dozen division commander-level commanders in the Zhongtiao Mountain area were standing on a gentle slope, looking at Xia Yang's mighty armored forces through binoculars.
This time Xia Yang brought five tank regiments, five motorized infantry regiments, three howitzer regiments, plus two automobile regiments, as well as four infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. Coupled with the security regiment directly under the Fourth Army Headquarters,
In total, there are more than 50,000 people.
The endless troops were dragged out for more than ten miles in the smoke and dust. You can't even see the end with a telescope.
Especially those armored vehicles and tanks rumbling forward. Even the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard, who has been fighting for so many years, has never seen such a formation.
"The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared! He has not asked for a penny from the Chongqing government, but he has developed such a powerful military force on his own. It's amazing!!" said the Commander-in-Chief of Wei with emotion.
It was not just the Commander-in-Chief who was shocked. The dozen or so national army division commanders who also came to watch the excitement felt their scalps go numb when they saw such a powerful force.
At this time, they were finally able to understand why the Japanese army was defeated so quickly in the northwest region of Shanxi.
It¡¯s not that the Japanese army¡¯s combat effectiveness has dropped off a cliff, nor is it because the Japanese commanders gave random orders. It was because the enemy they faced, the Fourth Army, was too powerful.
This time, Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Army attacked the southern Shanxi area. In order to avoid unnecessary friction with these national army troops, the Eighth Route Army was mostly stationed in the Taiyuan area.
A large part of them chose to defend the northwest Shanxi region to prevent the Japanese troops in North China from attacking northwest Shanxi.
"I don't think even the Central Army's moral weaponry division, which was praised to the sky, did not fight like this." The man with a beard, named Liu Qingyuan, was a division commander of the National Army.
Although he looks very rough, in fact, his inner calculations are louder than anyone else's.
¡°That¡¯s right, if the German Armsmen had had this kind of battle back then, we wouldn¡¯t have won the battle at Songhu, not the little devils, but us.¡± Commander-in-Chief Wei sighed with emotion.
Several other national army division commanders also began to flatter Xia Yang.
In fact, they had seen Xia Yang's armored troops in photos before.
But just looking at the photos, the shock is completely different from seeing it in person.
"Okay, let's start the banquet for Commander Xia to wash away the dust." Commander-in-Chief Wei said, got on his horse and galloped down the hillside.
The other national army officers also followed.
Wei Xing, He Changxing, and Qiu Guoping all watched with excitement as the armored units of the Fourth Army were stationed on the outskirts of Jincheng amid billowing smoke and dust.
There was excitement in their eyes, just like children waiting for their parents to come home.
"Later, we have to talk to the military commander about adding tank regiments and motorized infantry regiments to several of our divisions." Qiu Guoping looked at those tanks and armored vehicles and said with some drooling.
He Changxing smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will also have what others have."
Wei Xing said with great agreement: "That's right! Well, after all, this soldier has been with us through thick and thin, so he must still be close to us."
As the two of them were talking like this, the convoy of the guard regiment in the distance drove towards the city gate.
Xia Yang was sitting in the back of a jeep, and Hu San was sitting next to him. On the jeep behind them, there were rows of guardsmen in neat military uniforms, fully armed, and equipped with a large number of new weapons.
"This kind of troops, just from a distance, you can tell that they are absolutely elite and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The jeep stopped in front of the three of them. When Xia Yang and Hu San saw He Changxing and the others, they showed long-lost smiles.
