At this time, another branch of the North China Front had launched an attack on Xinkou.
In order to cope with the attack of the main force of the North China Front Army, while the main force of the North China Front Army was attacking Taiyuan along the Tongpu Line and Zhengtai Line, in order to invade Suiyuan, the Japanese army reorganized the Kwantung Army's mixed 11th Brigade into the 26th Division.
The commander of the Kwantung Army ordered the newly appointed Lieutenant General Hou Lu Chun to command the 1st independent mixed brigade, the 2nd brigade and the temporary flying group to launch an attack on Suiyuan Province with the coordination of 9 divisions of the puppet Mongolian army.
At this time, a large number of troops from the Second Theater Command of the Republic of China were transferred to Shanxi Eight Points, and there were only the new 5th and 6th infantry brigades in Suiyuan Province. 6th Cavalry, 7th Division.
In fact, Yan Xishan only focused on resisting the Japanese attack in northern Shanxi and eastern Shanxi, and no longer took care of Suiyuan.
The Japanese Mongolian Legion effortlessly occupied Suibei Tao Lin and Bailing Temple without any effort.
Except for the 6th Cavalry Division of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which carried out a strong block against the puppet troops in its camp area, the Japanese army did not encounter much resistance and easily captured most of Suiyuan, and some of its troops marched towards Baotou.
In order to cope with the North China and Shanxi war zones and ease the pressure on the two places, the Northwest Army led its troops northward with a high profile, so that the Puppet Army and the Puppet Mongolian Army, which had been advancing with great success, were like frightened birds.
The original plan to capture Baotou was also postponed again and again.
After marching to Guishui He stopped moving forward.
After receiving the news from the front line, Chunzhong in the harem was immediately furious.
He immediately formed a Jiasui detachment with a brigade as the main force, and headed westward from Datong with a section of the 3rd Railway Regiment to supervise the battle in Guisui.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
These puppet Mongolian troops did not dare to disobey the Japanese army's orders, but they also did not dare to pull their troops out to fight with the Northwest Army.
But since these people chose to be shameful traitors, they have become national heretics, but the Northwest Army will not stop at all because of the cowardice of the puppet Mongolian army.
"Nine divisions of the Puppet Mongolian Army are shouting slogans really loudly."
Li Du, who had arrived at Baotumote Right Banner, threw the telegram in his hand on the table with a relatively relaxed smile on his face. .
Compared with the tension of other battlefields.
This time in the Suiyuan War Zone, his pressure was relatively light.
The only ones that Li Du really paid attention to were the newly formed 26th Division in Harem Chunzhong and the main force of the 1st and 2nd Brigades.
In order to cope with the Shanxi and Hebei war zones, Jiang Li specially added a 17th Division directly related to the Northwest Army to the 5th Army, with Xiong Fei as the commander of the 9th Army.
In this way, the 5th Army became two infantry corps, one cavalry corps, and a reinforced group army with mechanized brigades.
Suiyuan is also the only war zone that has an advantage in both military strength and technical arms.
As for the nine divisions of the puppet Mongolian army, Fu Zuoyi had beaten them several times a year or two ago.
Neither the Japanese army nor Li Du paid much attention to them.
It's just that since the Japanese army has pulled out the puppet Mongolian army, it must be solved.
Although the combat power of the puppet Mongolian army is sparse.
But there are 20,000 or so people, which is not good at ordinary times, but if they are really at a disadvantage, these traitors will become very difficult.
Moreover, these 20,000 or so people are not good at fighting a frontal battle, but they are still enough to guard the rear.
"Take advantage of the Japanese army's Pingsui detachment's unsteady foothold in Guisui and launch a surprise attack on them.
Use the rapid attack capability of our mechanized brigade to defeat the Japanese army.
Without these traitors running errands, I wonder if the Japanese army is really three-headed and six-armed.
Can it be done at the same time?
Deal with several battlefields," Li Du sneered.
"If Guisui can be captured, it will directly threaten the eastern section of Pingsui Road.
The Japanese army in Datong will also be shocked.
If they want to suppress our 5th Army, the Japanese army will have to send at least one more permanent division.
Once too many troops are deployed, .later It will definitely affect the Taiyuan battle.
I hope that the time we gain will allow Yan Laoxi to dismantle the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal as much as possible.
Damn it, this is the first time that he has fought hard for outsiders in so many years. " Xing Zhanqing couldn't help but curse when he thought about it.
Although the Northwest Army had a big business, it was not easy to take out these possessions.
Except for Wang Tiehan's 6th Army, they were the most generous.
"Although the commander has put in a lot of effort this time, Yan Xishan may not appreciate it.
One of our army groups went north with great fanfare, and also sent an 18th group army into Shanxi.
Yan Xishan not only said in Shanxi The power has been greatly reduced.

Now that we have entered Sui, the Jin-Sui Army has become the Jin Army again, and Yan Xishan feels comfortable."
Li Du smiled and said, "Don't you think Shanxi and our Northwest Army are so dirty?
Don’t you know yet?”
"That's true.
When Nanjing launched several groups to attack the northwest, Shanxi used a lot of force behind it.
Unfortunately, we defeated them all and scared them away.
Others didn't dare to move."
Xing Zhanqing nodded. , "Soldiers are very fast, now the scouts have touched the fake The Mongolian army has been traced.
If we don't take action, the main force of the Japanese army will come up later.
It is unrealistic to think of a quick victory.
Winter is coming.
If possible, it is best to hold back part of the Japanese army and let Yan Xishan be in Shanxi.
I can survive this winter.”
The Japanese army captured Shanxi before winter and captured Shanxi after winter are two completely different concepts.
If the Japanese army captured Shanxi before winter, the main force of the Jin army would be forced to survive in the mountains of southern Shanxi.
However, the Japanese army was able to get sufficient rest and recuperation in Taiyuan.
On the contrary, if the Japanese army cannot enter Taiyuan before winter comes, it will take several months.
There are defenders in the front, countless guerrilla units in the rear, and the 5th Army Group Army pressing down on Suiyuan, threatening the Japanese rear flank at any time.
Safety, this is very passive for the Japanese army.
"Who knows, if you do your best and obey fate, the defenders in Jin are strong enough, and they are defending in danger.
As long as they don't make big mistakes, there shouldn't be a big problem in defending this year.
However, Yan Xishan was jealous after the Central Plains War.
The heavy sun may not be able to balance our 18th Group Army and Wei Lihuang Group Army well, as well as his own Shanxi Army.
The relationship between the Sui Army and the Army will be taken advantage of if it is not used properly.
Our opponent, the Japanese Army, is very good at taking advantage of every opportunity.
These are things that the commander should consider when deploying them to the 5th Army.
With so many troops, there is no way we can go back and do business unless we achieve a good record.”
"Yes, six years ago, the commander led tens of thousands of people to retreat westward.
Now we have officially sent troops to fight back.
You and I failed to follow the commander to retreat westward six years ago.
If we fall behind again this time, how can we deal with the commander?
"Give me this opportunity."
Xing Zhanqing said with emotion.
When Jiang Li left Fengtian, Xing Zhanqing and others also had some complaints in their hearts.
After all, Fengtian City was not at its end yet.
However, the subsequent development of the situation, as well as the current size of the Northwest Army and the role it played in the War of Resistance, time has proven the correctness of Jiang Li's original choice.
And after they were defeated and retreated to the northwest, they were still treated like this and entrusted with important tasks as always, so that they could still lead the troops to fight the Japanese army on the battlefield and show off their lifelong aspirations.
The urge to die is a confidant
