"Hay, Chief of Staff!" Okada Jino said with a heavy pause, then stepped aside and hurriedly ordered the communication staff officer to send a report to the devil defenders of Datong and Masuda Kentai.

At this time, Taro Miyano looked at the map with a frown, his eyes were cold and gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that the main force of the Japanese First Army went south to Zhongtiao Mountain to besiege the main force of the First Theater of the Nationalist Army, how could the Independent Brigade have the audacity to come out and attack them?

"Staff Officer Okada, send a report to the commander and inform the commander of the current battle situation!"

After thinking about it, Taro Miyano still waved his hand and said to Jino Okada, who walked back.

"Understood, Chief of Staff."

And then, Miyano Taro suddenly remembered the Japanese reinforcement brigade that was transported north, and then asked a devil staff officer on the side: "Where did the special train transported by the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division arrive?" ”。

"General, you haven't arrived at Xinkou yet, but it's not far from the Muma River south of Xinkou!" The devil staff officer who was asked paused heavily.

Taro Miyano then looked at the huge map on the table in front of him, and moved it with a command stick in his hand.

"Yaga! I'm afraid that in three hours, I don't have to expect the 77th Brigade to be able to rush to the area of the Kouquan River! At present, the railway bridge over the Kouquan River has been captured by the Independent Brigade, and if Li Yunlong knows that the 77th Brigade is going north, it may destroy the Kouquan River Railway Bridge. Taro Miyano thought secretly in his heart.

However, when I thought that one of Masuda Jiantai's wings could block the independent brigade from going north on the north bank of the Kouquan River, I didn't expect that Masuda Jiantai was too useless. was actually defeated by the independent brigade and retreated to Maojiasoo Town, this town is not estimated to be large, Miyano Taro thought that even if he gave Masuda Kentai an order to hold on for an hour and a half, I am afraid that Masuda Kentai may not be able to complete it.

"Send a message to the commander of the 77th Brigade, telling them that once they reach the Kouquan River, no matter what, they must rush north. Reinforcement of the Masuda Wing, if I can block the main force of the Independent Brigade with the Masuda Wing in Maojiasoo Town, I, Miyano Taro, will personally ask Your Majesty for their credit. Taro Miyano slammed his fist on the table and waved his hand to the devil staff officer standing aside and ordered.

"Hai, General!" The devil's staff officer left in response.

Miyano Taro's face was not very good at this time, and he looked at the map and began to be silent.

At this time, in the hands of Taro Miyano, there are not many people who can be transferred. If the Japanese troops stationed in Fengzhen, Gaoyang, and Tianzhen converge in the direction of Datong. They couldn't gather many troops, and they didn't survive more than 3,000 people.

Even if they were able to enter the coordinated defense of Datong and use the ability of independent brigades to attack the cities and combat them, the Japanese troops stationed in these places themselves were third-rate garrisons, and their combat effectiveness was really worrying.

What's more, with the transfer of these troops, the garrisons along the railway line from Datong to Zhangjiakou were completely withdrawn. This is unacceptable for Taro Miyano, who doesn't care about the ingots, which is a bit like picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.

"Forget it, Datong has been warned, even if it is an infantry brigade, guarding all the gates of Datong, plus some Imperial Cooperative troops in the city, how can it be able to block the strong attack of the independent brigade for an hour, isn't it?" Taro Miyano thought about it a little weakly, and thought secretly. 918

And just when Taro Miyano was suffering from gains and losses, in the Japanese headquarters on the front line of Nakajo Mountain, who received an urgent telegram from Taro Miyano, Naosaburo Okabe's face was gloomy and terrifying. Even Jitaro Kawaguchi, the staff officer on duty on the side, didn't dare to speak, lest he be scolded by Naosaburo Okabe.

At this time, it was still less than four o'clock in the morning and night, and in the Japanese army headquarters on the front line of Okabe Naosaburo, there were many devil staff officers coming and going, as well as devil soldiers who kept running in at any time to report. In short, it's busy, but all the devils know that Naosaburo Okabe is not in a very good mood at the moment.

After all, the Independent Brigade suddenly came out of the Hengshan base area, and after first solving the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division stationed in Yangyuan City, it attacked Huairen County in the west. It is actually no secret that a brigade of Japanese troops defending the city was annihilated.

Therefore, all the devil staff officers and other personnel in the Japanese army headquarters on the Nakajo Mountain front did not dare to anger the brows of Okabe Naosaburo, and they were all cautious.

It's just that at this time, Okabe Naosaburo was already a little angry, and Masuda Kentai's wing, relying on the north bank of the Kouquan River, was strictly guarded, but he couldn't hold the north bank of the Kouquan River. It was attacked by the Independent Brigade, and as for retreating to Maojiasoo Town, this small town, even if it was built by the remnants of Masuda Jiantai, could it withstand the fierce blow of the seven or eight thousand elites of the Independent Brigade personally commanded by Li Yunlong?

"Masuda Kentai waste, a bunch of waste!" Okabe Naosaburo actually scolded a little plainly, and Jitaro Kawaguchi on the side was puzzled.

But Okabe Naosaburo, who only said a word, immediately said to Jitaro Kawaguchi: "Call back General Miyano and let him watch it!" ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

Jitaro Kawaguchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Naosaburo Okabe didn't have much strength to scold, after all, the independent brigade was rushing like a cloud, and the attack transfer speed was very fast, and Naosaburo Okabe, who had already beaten, was a little out of temper.

Suddenly, Jitaro Kawaguchi, who had thought of something, asked Naosaburo Okabe in a low voice: "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to report to the Front Army Headquarters about the loss of the railway bridge over the Izumi River in the north and the defeat of Masuda Kenyasu's headquarters?" ”。

"Don't report it yet! Let's wait until we block the main force of the independent brigade! What's more, we have already transported a brigade to the north, even if the independent brigade takes Maojiasoo Town and annihilates the Masuda Jiantai Wing to advance to Datong. In terms of the defenders of Datong, who were warned, it should not be a problem to hold out until the main force of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division came from the rear of the independent brigade. At that time, the main force of the independent brigade commanded by Li Yunlong will be blocked by our reinforcements under the city of Datong. When the time comes, if it goes well, it will be able to annihilate at least part of the main forces of the independent brigade. ”

Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand and said, "At that time, it should be an appropriate time to report the battle situation to General Tada." ”。

"Understood, Your Excellency, Commander!" Jitaro Kawaguchi paused heavily, and walked away to let people report.

At this time, Okabe Naosaburo was most concerned about the attack on the main force of the 1st Theater of the National Army stationed in the Nakajo Mountain area. Although at present, Okabe Naosaburo commanded more than 100,000 Japanese troops to carry out a rapid and fierce attack on the main forces of the Nationalist Army's First Theater defending Nakajo Mountain from the north, east and west, and the progress was smooth.

However, after all, the main force of the Nationalist Army in the First Theater had more than 200,000 troops, and it would take at least another week or so to fight before the main force of the First Theater could be cut off or expelled from Zhongtiao Mountain.

As for the independent brigade, it can only be handed over to Taro Miyano.

At this time, Taro Miyano, who received a call back from the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, immediately accelerated and urged the 77th Brigade to continue to accelerate its advance. And once again, the 313th Wing of the Masuda Jiantai Division, which retreated to Maojiasoo Town, was given a death order, and was strictly ordered to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
