The communications staff officer rushed to Matsuura Junrokuro and reported: "According to the telegram from General Yamashi Watara, the Shina Army has captured Yangxin County and completely annihilated the Maeda Brigade and the Security Regiment in the city.

Even the 106th Cavalry Wing of the Imperial Army, which went to support, was ambushed by the Shina Army and the whole army was wiped out! ”

After speaking, the communications staff officer bent down and respectfully handed over the translated telegram in his hand.

"Nani?" Junrokuro Matsuura's face was so difficult to see that he didn't even dare to follow his ears, so he hurriedly took the message and read it quickly.

The chief of staff on the side, Nakagawa Hideyoshi, saw that Junrokuro Matsuura did not speak for a long time after reading the telegram, so he asked: "Your Excellency, division commander, how is the battle situation on Yangxin's side?"

Has the 111th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army recaptured Yangxin County? ”

Junrokuro Matsuura still did not speak, but handed him the telegram in his hand.

After Nakagawa Hideyoshi read it, his face also became gloomy.

After a while, Junrokuro Matsuura asked, "Nakagawa-kun, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I think that the approach of the mountain lord is very wise.

This branch army was able to capture Yangxin County in such a short period of time, and completely annihilated the defenders in the city, and then ambushed the 106th Wing of the Imperial Army Cavalry that went to support, which is enough to show the strength of this branch army's combat effectiveness.

and the tactical command capabilities of the commander of this branch of the Chinese army.

If the mountain lord led his troops to pursue rashly, it was not impossible to repeat the 106th Cavalry Wing. ”

"Hmm!"

Junrokuro Matsuura nodded in agreement with Nakagawa Hideyoshi's analysis.

Nakagawa Hideyoshi's voice changed and continued: "However, Yamachi-kun said something wrong. ”

Junrokuro Matsuura asked, "Oh?" What did Shandi-kun say wrong? ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi's face suddenly became solemn, and he said word by word: "This branch of the army is not going to cross the river and go north to assist the Tiger Ben Regiment to break out of the encirclement.

They're just a tiger bunch! ”

"Buzz! ——”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi's words were tantamount to a bombshell, which suddenly exploded in Matsuura Junrokuro's mind, making him almost unable to come back to his senses for a while.

After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Didn't Commander Okamura Ningji say that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army is still in Huangmei County, north of the Yangtze River?"

Moreover, now that the Yangtze River waterway is completely under the control of the imperial army, how can the Tiger Ben Regiment cross the rolling Yangtze River? ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said: "How did the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army cross the Yangtze River, this lowly position is not known for the time being, but there is one point? Yang Jing is too cunning? The Imperial Army has been defeated by it more than once, so? We must not speculate on him by common sense!

Before? He guessed that it was possible that the attack on Yangxin City was the Tiger Buntuan.

Now it seems? You shouldn't be able to go wrong.

Because as long as it is the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army that attacks Yangxincheng, then the mystery of all this? It's all easy to solve. ”

Paused? Nakagawa Hideyoshi continued: "First of all, since the landing of the 106th Division of our Imperial Army in China, except for the battle of Huoqiu, it has suffered losses at the hands of the Tiger Ben Regiment? Almost invincible, invincible? Rare enemy to fight with us!

Except for the Tiger Ben Regiment, he really couldn't think of any other army that could capture Yangxin County in such a short period of time and ambush the 106th Wing of the Imperial Cavalry that went to support.

Of course, if the Chinese army invests absolutely superior forces and firepower? Maybe it can be done!

But don't forget, this is already an absolute occupation zone of the Imperial Army? Perhaps due to the lack of troops, many places may not be in place to supervise? So much so that the Chinese army found the loophole of the imperial army's outpost and detoured back to Yangxin City.

But at most a small force? And it is impossible for such a large Chinese army to bypass the many checkpoints of the imperial army? Under the new city of Linyang.

Especially now? In order to cope with the counterattack of the 9th [567 Chinese] theater of the Chinese Army, the imperial troops everywhere strengthened their vigilance. ”

Junrokuro Matsuura nodded thoughtfully: "Nakagawa-kun, your analysis is good!"

According to intelligence, yesterday, the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Imperial Army conducted an almost carpet search of Huangmei County, but the final result was still nothing.

Not to mention the tiger group, not even a ghost shadow has been found. ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi nodded and said, "In this way, the identity of this army should be the Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army that disappeared from Huangmei County!" ”

After a pause, Nakagawa Hideyoshi said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I suggest that you immediately report this matter to the headquarters."

Because with the combat effectiveness of the 106th Division of our Imperial Army alone, it is impossible to stop the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, if it is allowed to return to Hunan smoothly, then we will become the sinners of the empire! ”

"Yo Xi!"

Junrokuro Matsuura nodded and accepted the suggestion of the chief of staff, Nakagawa Hideyoshi, and turned his head to the communications staff officer who was still on standby: "Immediately send a telegram to Commander Okamura Ninji, tell him that the Tiger Regiment of the Shina Army has crossed the river and fled to the territory of Yangxin, and ask him to provide tactical guidance immediately!" ”

"Hayi!"

The communications staff officer paused heavily, and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The communications staff officer stopped and looked at Nakagawa Hideyoshi and Matsuura Junrokuro with some blankness.

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the meaning of the humble position is to send a telegram to the front army headquarters, not the 11th Army headquarters. ”

Junrokuro Matsuura was stunned: "Is it not good for us to report to the next level like this?" ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said: "The 6th Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army searched Huangmei County for a day, but they did not find any trace of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army.

With the wisdom and wisdom of Commander Okamura Ninji, he was not unsure of the possibility that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army had crossed the river and headed south.

But he deliberately suppressed this news, which is enough to explain a problem, that is, General Okamura Ninji is unwilling to fail, and even, in the face of this problem of the Tiger Regiment, General Okamura Ninji has gradually left the interests of the empire behind for his own selfishness.

At this time, Commander Okamura Ninji was no longer wise, and even became a little paranoid.

If we report this news, it is very likely that the fighter plane will be delayed.

So, the lowly suggestion is to immediately report the news to the Front Command! ”

Junrokuro Matsuura hesitated a little and said, "However, if we report to the next level like this, will it cause the dissatisfaction of Commander Okamura Ninji and retaliate against us afterwards?" ”

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said: "As a soldier, what is the anger of Commander Gangoka Village Ninji relative to the interests of the empire?" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, Your Excellency the Division Commander, are you willing to be the division commander of an ad hoc division and regiment, and you don't want to go further?"

Right now, it's a great opportunity!

At night, the 106th Division of our Imperial Army may not be the opponent of the Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army, but during the day, with the fire support of the Imperial Army Aviation, it is not impossible for us to destroy it!

Once the top henchmen of the Tiger Ben Regiment are eliminated for the Empire, Your Excellency the Division Commander, your status will go one step further, and it will be completely reasonable! ”
