    When the war broke out outside Yuanping Town, Shuo County, a mountain city two hundred kilometers away, looked different.

    The city is still the same, nothing has changed, but Liulang Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away from Shuoxian County, is full of troops.

    Under Li Guoyao's order, Jiang Feng commanded the 177th Division's main force of more than 25,000 people, supplemented by technical units such as armored brigades, air defense regiments, artillery regiments and special forces, and quietly arrived at the front line of Liulang Mountain.

    According to the headquarters¡¯ combat plan, the West Route Army was the last to take action, but it was the real trump card among the three armies.

    The East Route Army contained the Japanese and puppet troops in the Hebei battlefield, threatening Pingjin and Shimen on the east line of the Zhengtai Railway. The Central Route Army attracted the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi to the Xinkou line. Finally, the West Route Army left northwest Shanxi.  Then they went straight to Huanglong and captured Taiyuan City.

    ¡°At present, the East Route Army and the Central Route Army have completed their respective combat missions, and now they are waiting for the West Route Army to make a decisive move.

    Although the north in June is not as hot and rainy as the south in midsummer, the climate this year is indeed a bit abnormal. There have not been a few rains in northern Shanxi since the beginning of spring, so the weather is extremely dull, and there is a smell in the air.  A restless breath.

    Although it was already night, the Japanese soldiers stationed in northwest Shanxi still felt agitated. In addition to the climate, more importantly, the current situation of the imperial army made them feel depressed.

    The Shanxi battlefield itself is a key area of ??confrontation between China and Japan. Since the war between China and Japan began, the exchange of fire has never stopped here.

    But in the past few years, the Japanese army has been victorious on the Shanxi battlefield. It took less than three years to completely drive the main force of the national army on the Shanxi battlefield to Shanxi and Henan.

    Especially in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain three years ago, the Japanese army defeated the main force of hundreds of thousands of national troops in Zhongtiao Mountain and captured the strategically important Zhongtiao Mountain.

    This in itself is a good thing, but as the National Army comprehensively investigated Shanxi's retreat, the Eighth Route Army developed rapidly, so fast that everyone was stunned.

    Especially in the northwest region of Shanxi, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army has controlled a large number of counties and districts, including Pianguan, Hequ, Wuzhai and other places, which have all become the territory of the Eighth Route Army. At most, the Japanese army can only control the county town and a few nearby areas.  In towns and most rural areas, the Eighth Route Army still has the final say.

    This situation has lasted for more than two years, making the First Army stationed in Shanxi very dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do.

    But the Japanese army never dreamed that just when the Battle of Xinkou was about to break out, a powerful national army force had already assembled in the northwest region of Shanxi and was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Taiyuan City and its nearby counties.

    At seven o'clock in the evening on June 4, under Jiang Feng's order, 98 Japanese-made tanks belonging to the armored regiment directly under the Ninth Army started one after another and drove towards Wuzhai.

    And behind the tanks, there followed a large number of infantry armed with steel guns, advancing in coordination with the tank troops.

    From Shuo County to the west all the way to Wuzhai is the territory of the Eighth Route Army. Since Li Guoyao had already greeted the Eighth Route Army headquarters beforehand, a large number of the Eighth Route Army suddenly took action in the early morning to attack and cover the Japanese and puppet troops in their respective defense areas.  The actions of Li Guoyao's troops.

    At six o'clock in the morning, after 13 hours of rapid march, Jiang Feng's troops finally arrived at the Kelan line and launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese troops in Kelan City.

    The Japanese army in Kelan County discovered this sudden appearance of the Chinese army. Although they could not believe that the Chinese army actually had an organized tank force, the facts were before their eyes and they could not help but disbelieve it.

    Immediately, the Japanese troops in Kelan County, under the command of the garrison commander Domon Shaozuo, relied on the positions outside Kelan City to block the attack, and reported the situation to the First Army Headquarters.

    This is a battle between steel and flesh and blood. When Jiang Feng's armored regiment and a main cavalry regiment launched a siege on the Japanese camp, the arrogant and domineering Japanese army finally realized what modern warfare is.

    Tanks and vehicle-mounted artillery roared in the sky, and the tracks of tanks on the ground roared. Infantry regiments holding rifles tore apart the Japanese front-line positions at the fastest speed. The intensity of firepower was unprecedented.

    Since the battle started at exactly six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army had not yet gotten up, and there were only two combat staff on duty in the headquarters. Therefore, when the outer defense line was breached, the Japanese army was shocked that something had happened.  .

    After Major Domon was hurriedly awakened, after understanding the situation, he immediately ordered the troops to rush to the North Gate position. At the same time, he ordered everyone in the city, including the Imperial Association Army, to hurry up and assemble.

    ?Flying dust swept across the earth, and Jiang Feng's tanks came overwhelmingly. The tracks of the tanks mercilessly crushed the spirit and body of the Japanese soldiers, burying the Japanese Empire's arrogant ambition to invade China in the windy and sandy northwest of Shanxi.

    In Taiyuan City, at the First Army Headquarters, a few generals, Chief of Staff Shanggang Martial Arts, were awakened from their sleep.

    This senior Japanese officer who presided over the military and political affairs of the First Army as chief of staff originally looked unhappy. He suffered from severe insomnia and had difficulty falling asleep every day. Sleeping is a very important thing for mountain martial arts.  Normally no one would dare to disturb him at this time.

    But just when he was about to reprimand the combat staff who hurried in, he suddenly heard the news that Kelan County was under attack and that a large number of Chinese troops appeared in the northwest of Taiyuan and were heading towards Jingle and other places.

    However, before he could figure out the situation, the defenders in the direction of Kelan lost contact with the First Army Headquarters.

    After being shocked, Major General Shangang Martial Arts was completely confused.

    The Chinese army actually appeared in the northwest of Taiyuan. This is a big deal.

    You must know that the main force of the Imperial Japanese Army is now concentrated in Xinkou. There are only more than 8,000 Japanese troops in Taiyuan City and its surrounding areas, and there are more than 10,000 puppet troops, which adds up to only about 20,000 people.

    What¡¯s more, the situation in Kelan City is unknown, and it¡¯s obviously a very bad situation.

    Once Kelan is captured by the Chinese army, the distance between that person and Taiyuan City will be less than 200 kilometers.

    Shanggang Martial Arts Major General immediately realized the danger, and ordered the troops in Jingle, Loufan, Gujiao and other places to immediately reduce their strength. At the same time, he also strengthened the defense of Taiyuan City and ordered more than 5,000 puppet troops under Cai Xiongfei to immediately leave Taiyuan.  Set off and head north to reinforce Jingle County.

    Of course, Major General Yamaoka Budo could not forget to send a report to the commander of the First Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, and the North China Front Army Headquarters.

    No way, things were a bit beyond their expectations.

    Originally, in the opinion of Shanggang Martial Arts and others, Li Guoyao's troops launched attacks at Xinkou and Jizhong at the same time, which was quite shocking to them, and they also thought that the Jiujiu Army must be fully equipped with firepower.

    "But I never expected that Li Guoyao's troops would still have the strength to open up a battlefield on the western front, and they would launch a direct attack on Taiyuan from the beginning.

    Under such circumstances, Major General Shangang Martial Arts naturally felt tremendous pressure, so he had to let higher-ups handle this matter. Otherwise, if Taiyuan City was lost, he, the Major General's chief of staff, would not be able to afford it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
