"Hey, it takes more time. Right now, the spring rain is continuous, and the ground is muddy! In the process of the reinforcements advancing west along the Sangan River, the speed will definitely not be fast! Kagesa Zhenzhao said in a low voice.

In fact, according to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's thoughts, at this time, he was already waiting for the time process of reinforcements, so it was better to withdraw directly from the range of Wei County and retreat dozens of miles to the north. At the very least, it would be best to retreat directly north to the Sangan River to the north!

However, Matsui Shigen was afraid that once he withdrew from Wei County and got out of contact with the main force of the new regiment, Li Yunlong would see the opportunity to directly withdraw to his Hengshan base area, and it would be troublesome.

The new regiment base of Hengshan has the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge, which is hundreds of meters long and occupies the road, and there are two peaks behind Tianfeng Ridge and Cuiping Peak, which are enough to attack the Japanese army.

Therefore, it was impossible for Matsui Shigen to let Li Yunlong's main force in Wei County withdraw to his base area.

Once this happens, even if Matsui Ishine waits for the brigade of the 110th Division to arrive, he will have to send troops to attack the Hengshan base of the new regiment at that time, and the troops after the meeting will definitely not be enough.

But Kagesa Zhenzhao's words made Matsui Ishine a little dissatisfied, and waved his hand and said, "If it's not fast, it's not fast!" Kagesa-kun, I know what you mean. So, I have a new idea! ”。

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

When Ying Zuozhen heard this, he was quite puzzled.

Matsui Ishine walked to the small table where the map was placed, pointed to the military map on the small table, and said, "We still have more than 6,000 imperial troops, although we have lost a large number of artillery pieces, as well as the soldiers of the imperial army. However, it was no problem for more than 6,000 imperial troops to shrink into a group and hold out for an hour to two hours. ”。

Shadow Zuozhen nodded when he heard this, that's right. The devil soldiers of the Japanese army under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Division are the most elite Japanese soldiers, and most of them are miners, and they are transferred to the defense and wait for reinforcements. One, two hours is not a problem.

It's just that the current situation makes Kagesa Zhenzhao feel that he is not optimistic. Li Yunlong in Wei County on the opposite side is not a good stubble!

However, when Kagesa was stunned for a while, Matsui Ishone's words immediately said: "I mean, wait for help." Directly on the basis of the arrival of reinforcements, we will transfer troops from Datong City to reinforce us! ”。

"Your Excellency, didn't we send a direct report to the Front Command asking for reinforcements before? Asking General Okabe for reinforcements at this time will weaken the strength of the imperial army garrison in Datong City! Kagesashi pointed to the map and whispered.

Matsui Shigen shook his head and said: "At present, there is no large Chinese army around Datong, and we can still transfer troops from Datong!" What's more, there is a brigade of the 37th Division stationed in Datong City, and after directly transferring this brigade, let the imperial army stationed in Huairen go north and station in it! At present, the main force of the First Army under the command of General Okabe is moving south to attack the main force of the First Theater of the Nationalist Army. Although the north is a little empty, in the vicinity of Datong, our strength is still very strong, and the troops in the northwest direction of the Jin Sui army do not dare to move. It should not be a problem to mobilize the brigade of the 37th Division in Datong City! ”。

"At this point, it is estimated that Li Yunlong would not have thought that we would transfer troops from Datong to help!"

When Kage Satsune heard this, looking at the military map, he didn't expect Matsui Ishine to think about it so clearly.

"Your Excellency, the Ombudsman immediately sent a report to General Okabe, requesting that the Datong garrison be transferred to reinforce us! Only, will General Okabe agree? You must know that once the Datong defenders are discovered by Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in the northwest, this Jin Sui Army is likely to attack Datong. When Datong is lost, it will have a great impact on the war of the imperial army in the south! Huairen went north to take over the troops of the Imperial Army stationed there, and there was only one brigade of troops! ”

Matsui Ishine waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "In my name, I ask Okabe Naosaburo to put it!" I'm sure Naosaburo Okabe will agree! You must know that the new regiment is the most powerful opponent of the empire, and if we can destroy the main force of the new regiment, I believe that Okabe Naosaburo will agree to the Datong defenders to reinforce us! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency, I understand!"

Kagesa Zhenzhao paused heavily, and then walked away and sent someone to report directly to Okabe Naosaburo.

And with the rapid spread of the radio, at this time, Naosaburo Okabe, who was in the headquarters of the Japanese First Army on the temporary front line of Mengcheng in Jin Province, received a report from Jitaro Kawaguchi, a staff officer of the Japanese front command!

At this time, Okabe Naosaburo was standing in the headquarters of the Japanese army in Mengcheng, looking down at the huge sand table in front of him, on which the battle between several divisions of the Japanese First Army and the First Theater of the National Army was very clear.

"Click!! The sound of crisp footsteps came from next to Naosaburo Okabe, and Naosaburo Okabe looked up to see that Jitaro Kawaguchi, the temporary chief of staff of the headquarters, was walking towards him.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Jitaro Kawaguchi walked quickly to Naosaburo Okabe's side and paused, "Admiral Matsui sent us a personal emergency call!" ”。

Okabe Naosaburo frowned, because he had to highly command the various units of the Japanese First Army and the two reinforced Japanese divisions and regiments to comprehensively fight against the main force of more than 100,000 enemy troops in the First Theater of the Nationalist Army. Okabe Naosaburo has not paid attention to the pursuit of the new regiment by the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Matsui Ishine for many days, so when the old devil heard this, he was still a little puzzled why Matsui Ishine would give him an urgent call.

It's just that after receiving the urgent telegram handed over by Jitaro Kawaguchi, less than a minute after reading it, Naosaburo Okabe was stunned, "Kawaguchi-kun, is this true?" ”

Jitaro Kawaguchi nodded a little speechlessly and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" When I received an urgent telegram from Senior General Matsui, I immediately sent an urgent telegram to the Front Headquarters, which replied that there were only about 6,000 Imperial troops left in the 3rd Division under the command of Senior General Matsui. At this time, it is a bit dangerous in Wei County! Li Yunlong's troops may launch a counteroffensive at any time, although Li Yunlong's main force in Wei County is less than 10,000 according to General Matsui's urgent telegram. However, Wei County is not far from the Hengshan base area of the new 1st Regiment, and it is estimated that Li Yunlong may transfer part of his reserve forces in the Hengshan base area to reinforce the main force of the new 1st Regiment at any time while most of our main force is pressing on the southern front! ”。

"Once this happens, the situation of Admiral Matsui is not optimistic!"

When Okabe Naosaburo heard this, his brows furrowed, Matsui Ishine gave him a problem, and he actually asked him to transfer the brigade of the 37th Division stationed in Datong to reinforce them.

However, Datong is too important, and once the main force of the Jin Sui Army in the northwest direction rushes to Datong, this will have a great impact on the various units of the Japanese First Army that are attacking the main force of the First Theater of the Nationalist Army.

Thinking of this, Naosaburo Okabe was a little hesitant!

"Kawaguchi-kun, do you think you should agree to transfer troops to reinforce Matsui Ishone?"

Jitaro Kawaguchi thought about it, and still suggested: "The new regiment can eat the 2nd Division and the 6th Division, and the combat strength of its troops is very rare. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the headquarters of the Front Army several times to redeploy heavy troops to destroy the new regiment. If Matsui Shigen is not reinforced, according to the situation at this time, Li Yunlong may counterattack and eat the rest of the imperial army commanded by General Matsui! It is suggested that the 37th Brigade of the 53rd Division of Datong be reinforced! ”。

When Okabe Naosaburo heard this, he didn't make a decision immediately, but just looked at the huge sand table in front of him.

"Okay, Kawaguchi-kun, immediately send a telegram to the 37th Brigade of the 53rd Division stationed in Datong, ordering them to send troops to reinforce Matsui Shigen!" Naosaburo Okabe said eventually.

Jitaro Kawaguchi paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency Commander!" Then he walked away and sent someone to send a report!
