"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's facial muscles twitched violently.

Have you really been deceived? Could it be that the southbound detachment is the main force of the 386 Brigade?

Yoshio Shinozuka only felt a burst of blackness in front of him, and he almost fainted on the spot.

At this moment, another communications staff officer hurriedly walked out of the telecommunications office with a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency, General!" The communications staff officer walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka and immediately reported, "A telegram personally signed by His Excellency Okamura, commander of the North China Front!" ”

"Nani? Lord Okamura? ”

Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly took the telegram.

The telegram was really issued by Okamura Ninji.

Okamura Ninji had only one thing in the telegram.

He said he heard a briefing from Xinhua on the radio.

It's the briefing about the loss of Nagaji, although Okamura Ninji didn't say much, and the wording was not harsh, but Yoshio Shinozuka could still feel it, and he was disappointed.

Yes, Okamura Ninji was disappointed in him!

Takayoshi Tanaka immediately said: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't hesitate any longer! ”

"The Eighth Route Army does not dare to attack Taiyuan, so quickly order the 37th Division to turn around and go south!"

"Not long after the 386 Brigade captured Changzhi, everything is still in time, and the top priority is to eliminate the negative impact of the loss of Changzhi Mansion as soon as possible, so as to avoid further deterioration of domestic and international public opinion!"

Takayoshi Tanaka finally said what he wanted to say.

Nozawa Kio also said: "General, the heavy weapons you mentioned that were hidden by the Eighth Route Army do not exist! Facts have proved that the Eighth Route Army really broke into pieces and transferred separately! ”

"Even the prisoners of war of the Imperial Allied Army have been released!"

"Hurry up and let the 37th Division go south."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded silently, okay.

……

The march of the Japanese 37th Division was still very fast.

At this time, the 37th Division had even passed through Yuxian.

In order to gain as much time as possible, Yuichiro Noyu even decided to march overnight.

The reason is very simple, Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, and it is the location of the headquarters of the First Army, once Taiyuan is lost, the impact on the entire Shanxi and even the entire North China war situation will be too great.

Yuichiro Nozo can't afford such a big responsibility.

While they were on the march, a communications staff officer caught up.

"Division Commander!" The communications staff officer reported through the window, "The headquarters is in an emergency!" Order our division to immediately turn around and go south, and rush to the aid of Changzhi! ”

"Nani?!"

"U-turn and go south?!"

Noyuichiro Huo Ran turned his head.

Hiroshi Hamada also looked incredulous.

In the next second, both of them were uncontrollable rage.

What are you doing? In the beginning, it was going south, then north, and now it is going south?

Deliberately taking our 37th Division as a reproach, right? Isn't that fun?

The communications staff officer did not dare to look at Yuichiro's gaze, and lowered his head and handed over the telegram.

Noyuichiro took the telegram with a dark face, looked down, and saw that the telegram was indeed written on the telegram copy paper, and asked their 37th Division to immediately turn around and go south to aid the Nagaji Mansion.

"Yaga!" Yuichiro Noye roared angrily, "What the hell is the headquarters doing? ”

"This is a military order, not child's play! How can it be so changed! It's too much! ”

"Whether the main force of the 386 Brigade is in Taiyuan or Changzhi, is there no accurate judgment?"

"If you really can't do it, then the troops will be divided into two ways, why do you have to run back and forth with our 37th Division?"

However, anger is anger, and the orders of the headquarters must still be carried out, unless he intends to take the next sentence.

It's just that there must be a premise on the following grams, that is, there are greater results waiting for them ahead.

Just like the Tenth Army in the Battle of Songhu at the beginning, because there was a greater result waiting for the capture of Nanjing, Yanagawa Heisuke dared to go down and crossed the battle line in disregard of the strict orders of the base camp.

But now, it is obvious that there can be no greater results ahead.

In the current situation, even if their 37th Division completely annihilated the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, it would not be enough to offset the negative impact of letting Changzhi lose forever.

The base camp may not pursue it.

But his personal future is certainly over.

Thinking of this, Noyuichiro sighed.

"Yaga Yaru!" Cursing from between his teeth, Noyuichiro said again, "Order, all wings and brigades immediately stop advancing, and the rear team will change to the front team and return the same way!" ”

Hiroshi Hamada paused: "Hai! ”

……

A night of rapid marching,

At six o'clock the next morning, the 37th Division returned to the vicinity of Xiangxian.

By this time, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army had first 70 kilometers from Xixiang County to Tunliu County, then nearly 100 kilometers from Tunliu County to Yu County, and then 80 kilometers from Yu County to Xiang County.

In less than two days, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army has already run almost 250 kilometers!

The communication team, which had been guarding the vicinity of Xiangxian, immediately sent the news to Changzhi.

At this time, the Changzhi Mansion City has become a large-scale moving site.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han and Regiment Commander Cheng both knew that it was impossible to hold the Changzhi Mansion City, and they never thought of occupying Changzhi for a long time, so the first thing after laying down Changzhi was to move!

All the materials and equipment that can be used and moved in Changzhi City will be removed!

Commander Cheng is even ready to move the furniture in the headquarters of the Japanese military police, these furniture are made of yellow rosewood, and they can also be worth a lot of money, move away!

Coolies are readily available anyway.

The more than 5,000 puppet prisoners of war who went south just served as free coolies.

"Regiment commander, regiment commander......" another messenger rushed to report, "The 9th Company has found a warehouse, and there is a lot of grain in it, at least hundreds of thousands of catties!" ”

"Move away, move all away!"

"Not a grain of grain is allowed to be left!"

Cheng Tuan Chang waved his hand and said.

Soon another correspondent rushed over and reported: "Regiment leader, another traitor has been caught to maintain the president!" Secretly call the devil and don't say anything, and dare to sneak attack us! ”

"Shoot! All traitors are shot! ”

"All family property will be confiscated!"

"Regiment commander, regiment commander......" The third communicator rushed over, gasping and said, "The 2nd communication group has sent a telegram that the Japanese 37th Division has moved south again, and it has just arrived in Xiangxian!" ”

"What, the 37th Division went south again and returned to Xiangxian?"

Regiment Commander Cheng was taken aback, and then hurriedly walked into the temporary command headquarters.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han had just woken up from sleep, and when he saw Regiment Commander Cheng coming in in a hurry, he said, "Cheng Shifa, what's wrong?" ”

"Deputy Brigade Commander, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army is back, and it has passed through Xiangxian." Head Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Fuck, it's coming so fast!" Deputy Brigade Commander Han's face changed, and he said, "Have all the materials in the city been transferred?" ”

"Most of it has been transferred, but the food that has just been discovered has not had time to be transferred." Head Cheng said painfully, "It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of catties." ”

"There is no time left, give it all to the poor people!" Deputy Brigade Commander Han said, "Then let the communications team report the latest movements of the Japanese 37th Division to the brigade headquarters." ”
