When the Japanese wing captain who was tossed back and forth led the same breathless troops to the train station, he found that the battle at the train station had ended. At present, their security forces were cleaning the battlefield and counting casualties and losses.

Looking at the bodies placed on the platform, Colonel Yamaguchi was very angry. Looking at the empty platform, he also seemed very worried. But after hearing the words of the left-behind officer, he seemed relieved again. Fortunately, the train was fine.

When I was about to call the train station and the city, I found that the phone did not respond at all. In the end, I could only send someone back to the city to report the situation to the city and report the information to the North China Front Army as soon as possible.

At this moment, the gunfire gradually subsided in the city also realized that the Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan could start to clean up the mess. However, the devastated situation made many Japanese troops who were beginning to stabilize the situation understand how miserable this situation was.

The garrison general of Taiyuan Yu Shuo, and the Japanese military brigade stationed in Taiyuan were all lost. When the North China Front Army received this telegram, it was unbelievable. It immediately sent a report to the Fifth Division and ordered it to quickly send troops back to Taiyuan.

The reason is very simple. At this moment, Taiyuan City has empty troops. Once someone seizes the opportunity, it is very likely that their Taiyuan Battle will be fully damaged. No one dares to bear such consequences.

After receiving a telegram from the North China Front Army, Seishiro Itagaki, who was commanding the Fifth Division to fight against the Eighth Route Army, said incredible: "Soga! Who has the ability to make such a large-scale attack in Taiyuan. It's incredible!"

‘Your Excellency, according to what we just learned, the Eighth Route Army has a main force that is currently moving quickly towards Taiyuan. If we don’t move, we are afraid that Taiyuan will be really dangerous.’

‘Yuxi, order the troops to retreat overnight. Be careful to keep a certain guard force and not let the Eighth Route Army find out that we are leaving. It seems that this time, our battle against Shanxi will come to an end, which is a pity!’

As a Huaxiatong, Seishiro Itagaki knew very well that this confrontation with the Eighth Route Army made him feel a sense of pressure. Although his troops still had the upper hand when they fought, the losses were far beyond his imagination.

In the past, when they fought with the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, their combat losses were controlled at more than 10. But now, when they fought with the Eighth Route Army, they found that many times, they even fought one army and one war.

The Fifth Division, which has been fighting for a long time, has recently suffered a serious reduction in its personnel. Faced with such a situation, Seishiro Itagaki had also considered withdrawing his troops. It is difficult for him to break through the defense of the Eighth Route Army with his division alone!

While the Fifth Division was preparing to retreat overnight, He Zhengdao, who left Taiyuan, still expressed his serious expression: "Generate power to the headquarters, we have successfully passed through Taiyuan. The next stop is Yangqu Station, so that President He can start preparing.

Secondly, the Taiyuan Operation Team gained a lot. The Japanese army was extremely empty in Taiyuan at this moment. We are preparing to attack the Fifth Division, which we are based, and it is very likely to retreat to Taiyuan. We hope that the headquarters will prepare as soon as possible to expand the victory results of our army."

The telegram was sent back to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Mr. Zhu and others who were still not resting quickly said happily: "Okay! I have passed the most difficult level, and the rest depends on the last level. This time, the Japanese really suffered heavy losses!

Another major general brigade commander, who died at the hands of the column, is probably more brigade commanders than those killed in the Anti-Japanese War! OK, order the 127th Division and the 116th Division to prepare for a counterattack. Send the reserve troops to feint in the direction of Taiyuan!”

‘Yes, Commander-in-Chief!’

When the telegram reached the command headquarters of the 127th and 116th Division, looking at the information provided by the headquarters, both division commanders felt incredible. In their opinion, He Zhengdao's actions this time were no less than being heart-wrenching!

Liu Zhidan, who led his troops to fight, looked at the telegram and map and said, "If this telegram had not been sent from the headquarters, I am afraid I would not believe it. Just a few small troops, the column could make such a big move.

Order the front-line reconnaissance forces to keep a close eye on the Japanese army ahead of us, and report immediately once they have any retreat. Notify the artillery regiment that they can start entering the preset artillery position and prepare for artillery before counterattacking."

When the Eighth Route Army and the Fifth Division, which was encircled and suppressed, began to respond to their respective responses. Yan Xishan, who stabilized the situation in Linfen, also received a telegram from the Taiyuan City Intelligence Station saying that Taiyuan City was in chaos tonight and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

Because the intelligence was not very detailed, the Japanese army suffered a loss, and the people at the intelligence station could not provide it. But there was a piece of information they found out, that was, the Japanese garrison major general stationed in Taiyuan, who was shot dead at the command center with one shot.

Fu Zuoyi, who had reported to Yan Xishan, was also called to discuss. Looking at the telegram, the generals who summoned felt unbelievable. But Fu Zuoyi quickly said, "Only the Eighth Route Army can do this!"

After saying this, Fu Zuoyi said again: "If I guess well, the chaos in Taiyuan City tonight is likely to be organized by the division. Now that I think about it, I finally understand that there are unknown reinforcements to cover when the troops retreat.

When someone reported it before, I thought it might be that they had read it wrong, it should be the cover of our troops. But now, during the Taiyuan Defense War, many people from the Eighth Route Army were infiltrated into the city.

These people have been lurking in Taiyuan City to carry out tonight's destruction. If they make such a fuss tonight, unless the Japanese army is not worried about Taiyuan's mistakes. Otherwise, the Fifth Division, which is fighting with the Eighth Route Army, will inevitably retreat back to Taiyuan.

In this way, the pressure faced by the Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced. Even they may have prepared a plan to counterattack. Once the Fifth Division is defeated, Luliang is afraid that it will be the base of the Eighth Route Army in the future."

Listening to Fu Zuoyi's analysis, Yan Xishan was shocked and said, "It's impossible! Could it be that the Eighth Route Army realized very early that we can't defend Taiyuan City? It's completely unreasonable to do so!"

‘The General, this analysis is indeed a bit incredible. But the commander of the division, He Zhengdao, has been very good at using military strategies since his rise in the Red Army to the present. His combat layout is very unpredictable.

Based on the current analysis of the war in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army Division's war in Shuozhou seems to be somewhat lacking in attack power. This is two completely different troops from when they attacked Suiyuan.

Take tonight's Taiyuan attack as an example. His sudden action of such a move must have been unknown. However, we lack favorable support at present, and it is difficult to judge what the Eighth Route Army wants to do.

But one thing is certain, the Japanese army that is currently encircling us and the Eighth Route Army will choose to retreat. I think we should seize this opportunity and fight a counterattack and expand our controlled area north of the Fen River.’

Even if some people think Fu Zuoyi's analysis is reasonable, they think of taking the initiative to counterattack the Japanese army, many generals of the Jinsui Army who were afraid of being beaten immediately said: "This is just a speculation. If the judgment is wrong and the Japanese army counterattack will be a worrying situation!"

Listening to the answers of these generals, Fu Zuoyi felt a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow in his heart. Even if the Taiyuan Defense War failed, Yan Xishan did not blame him too much. But he knew that the commander was very careful of him.

In the end, the stable faction had the upper hand. In the unknown situation, Yan Xishan finally ordered the front-line troops to make good defense. If the Japanese army retreated, send small troops across the river to test the reality of the Japanese army.

Such an arrangement can only be said to be a conservative defense. Regarding the result of such a meeting, Fu Zuoyi suddenly felt that he was afraid he would not have done much in the Jinsui Army. But the question is, where can he go now?

The Eighth Route Army was not very clear about the arrangement of the Jinsui Army. However, the front-line reconnaissance units of the 127th Division and the 116th Division soon discovered that the Japanese army that surrounded them were really preparing to retreat overnight.

However, the Japanese retreat was very orderly. Most of the troops retreated in an alternate cover style. If the reconnaissance troops were not sent in advance, I was afraid that the troops behind the Japanese attacking positions were retreating.

The two division commanders who learned the news immediately sent the information back to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Seeing that the Japanese army was really organizing the retreat, General Zhu thought for a while and said, "Okay, order them to start fighting back, remember! Drive the Japanese army out of Luliang and stop chasing!"

In the view of Mr. Zhu, although he also wanted to drive the Japanese army all the way back to Taiyuan, it seems undoubtedly unrealistic now. Even if Taiyuan is currently empty, they will definitely not be able to capture it casually.

What's more, even if the battle is over, how many troops will the Eighth Route Army send to garrison? In contrast, if they can recover the entire Luliang area, it will be their victory. In this way, their base will undoubtedly be expanded a lot.

When the time was not much left before dawn, the Japanese army, who had already begun to withdraw from their positions, suddenly found that behind the 116th Division position where they had been fighting, a rumbling sound of shelling suddenly sounded, and the range of the artillery was very surprising to them.

‘Baga, how is that possible! The Eighth Route Army actually had mountain cannons and field cannons? This was at least the configuration of an artillery corps. When they were fighting before, they were useless. Unfortunately, our defensive position is in danger!’

Just as the Japanese commander in charge of the rear of the palace made this judgment and analysis, the Japanese army, who were also waiting for dawn to withdraw from their positions, were stunned by the sudden shelling.

They never expected that the Eighth Route Army, which had only had mortars before, would have such an artillery regiment. Countless artillery shells fell into their blocking positions, and the guards of the Japanese army were caught off guard.

Compared with the 116th Division's counterattack, the 127th Division's counterattack was also fierce. All artillery in the division headquarters were gathered to attack the Japanese army that turned to defend with the gunfire density that shocked the Japanese.
