Chapter 584: Congratulatory Messages Coming in Stream!
Yoshio Shinozuka and Taro Miyano paused in unison, leaning slightly and bending down to listen to the content of the Emperor's urgent telegram.
In less than a minute, the Japanese staff officer who came to report quickly read out the contents of this urgent telegram. It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka and Taro Miyano were bitter after listening to it.
The content of the report was nothing more than the Emperor's serious dissatisfaction with the progress of the encirclement and suppression of the new regiment by the various units of the Japanese First Army under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka in Jin Province, and at least eight-ninths of the content of the emergency telegram was a rebuke to Yoshio Shinozuka, and the tone was extremely harsh. It was almost announced that Yoshio Shinozuka would be removed from his post as commander of the First Army, and Yoshio Shinozuka actually understood that the reason why Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, who had been captured in Kawazu Castle before, suddenly and secretly rushed to Jin Province was because of the order of the Emperor.
It's just that because Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was captured by Li Yunlong and killed, Yoshio Shinozuka was still in the position of commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army at this time.
"Your Excellency, what should I do? His Majesty the Emperor ordered us to avenge the four princes who died in the war without encircling and suppressing the new regiment of Li Yunlong's subordinates. Your Excellency the Commander was able to come down only from the First Army! After reading out, the devil staff officer stepped aside, and Taro Miyano, who was standing next to Yoshio Shinozuka, said in a low voice.
Yoshio Shinozuka also didn't expect the content of Hirohito's emergency telegram and the deadline given for him to exterminate the new group. It's only a short week, but Yoshio Shinozuka knows that there is no room for bargaining. This was a telegram of reprimand sent directly by Hirohito to the headquarters of the First Army, if he could not solve Li Yunlong's new regiment within a week. Even Yoshio Shinozuka himself was embarrassed to continue to stay in the position of commander of the First Army.
Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka smiled bitterly and said solemnly: "His Majesty the Emperor has sent an urgent telegram of reprimand again, and His Majesty has also given me Yoshio Shinozuka a deadline for exterminating the new group. In this way, he could only order Itagaki Seishiro's troops as soon as possible to conquer the new regimental base area of Hengshan regardless of losses. ”。
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued to say in a deep voice: "Judging from the urgent telegram sent by Seishiro Itagaki before, the Eighth Route Army under the command of Furong Zhenpei, the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Pingxingguan Division, was the unit under the personal command of Li Yunlong. The previous appearance of the head of His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace in the territory of the source was the bait thrown by Li Yunlong, which attracted our attention. And he secretly led his subordinates to drive north and raid Pingxingguan. Now, they have withdrawn to the new nest of Hengshan, it is true! ”。
"Your Excellency, Commander, then strike hard! Whether to mobilize special ammunition to reinforce Seishiro Itagaki will be able to do it once and for all! Miyano Taro suddenly suggested in a low voice, according to the regular style of play, I'm afraid it's a bit protracted!
Then you will only be able to make a sortie of special shells, and the number of shells you will need will not be too much.
Taro Miyano's suggestion made Yoshio Shinozuka's frowning brows light up. It's just that at this time in Jin Province, the Japanese army has not many special ammunition in reserve, and it is estimated that it can only be mobilized from the Liaodong region.
"Miyano-kun, there are not many reserves here in the Special Bomb Jin Province. I'm afraid not! Contact Guan Dongjun and ask them to urgently support some of the special ammunition of our First Army! "Yoshio Shinozuka, who is on the front line, is unlikely to dispatch special ammunition on a large scale, because it will cause the perception of the country. Therefore, at this time, among the ammunition reserves of the Japanese army in Jin Province, there were not many reserves of special ammunition, and they could only be transferred from the Guandong Army in the Liaodong region for reinforcements.
Miyano Taro also knew that the Japanese army in Jin Province did not have many special ammunition reserves, so he nodded and said: "Understood, Your Excellency Commander, I will immediately contact Guan Dongjun to support our special ammunition!" ”。
Yoshio Shinozuka walked to the table where the map was placed at the headquarters, picked up the baton and moved it on the map, and pondered for a while.
"The reinforcements from Guangling, Lingqiu, and Pingxingguan went north to reinforce the reinforcements of Itagaki Seishiro's department, where are they now?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked Taro Miyano.
Taro Miyano pointed to the map and said, "Your Excellency, the reinforcements from the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge have already advanced to less than twenty minutes away from the headquarters of Seishiro Itagaki at the beginning of the waru Valley. It is estimated that the second wave of fighters taking off from Xinkou will fly over the Jinlongxia Gorge in 15 minutes to bomb the main hills, commanding heights, and air defense positions in the Hengshan base area. ”。
"Telegraph the ground reinforcements, and also the aviation fleet, speed up and reinforce Itagaki Seishiro's department! Call back to Seishiro Itagaki and ask them to think of more ways and not wait for our reinforcements. The combat power of the imperial soldiers cannot stop in front of the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge! Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand with a very ugly face and said.
The chief of staff of the division under Seishiro Itagaki was all shot to death, and when he thought of this, Yoshio Shinozuka felt unbearable. After all, the senior officers of the Japanese army who died at the hands of Li Yunlong seem to have been killed a lot in the inventory.
"Understood, Your Excellency Commander!" Miyano Taro paused heavily, and the old devil also knew, but the terrain of the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Miyano Taro did not come to the front line in person, he understood that it was not possible to storm the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge if there were not many people. Under a strong attack, the casualties of the infantry will definitely be huge.
After all, the weapons and equipment in the hands of Li Yunlong's department at this time were no less than the various units under the command of the elite divisions of the Japanese army.
"Go ahead and do it!" Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and motioned for Taro Miyano to hurry up and deal with what he had just ordered.
And just when Yoshio Shinozuka received an urgent telegram from the Japanese Emperor, he sent troops to reinforce Itagaki Seishiro's department. The clear code telegram sent by Li Yunlong has already spread to the land of China, and all forces know about it.
As soon as the Eighth Route Army was launched, the head of the 386 Brigade just smiled and directly sent a commendation telegram to the new regiment. Jin Suijun and Chairman Chang Kaishen of Chongqing sent congratulatory messages one after another, but there were no reinforcements at all, which was quite a bit of a matter of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both understood the urine of the Nationalist Army and the Jin Sui Army and other forces, and they did not expect that some of the Jin Sui Army and the armed forces controlled by the Nationalist Army behind enemy lines that were still in the mountainous areas of southern Jin Province near Hengshan would be able to support the new regiment.
At this time, the Hengshan base is on the Tianfeng Ridge Mountain!!
"As soon as we sent out a clear code, all forces became lively. There are a lot of congratulatory messages, but the support is all wood! Li Yunlong looked at the congratulatory telegrams and telegrams that had just arrived from various forces, and said with a smile.
Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Now the headquarters of Itagaki Seishiro in front of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Canyon is a lot quieter, and there is no even a feint attack, just blocking the mouth of the canyon." The congratulatory telegram from the National Army, Jin Suijun, hehe, I, Zhao Gang, know what's going on! Ha ha! ”。
