Chapter 43: A Division

After thinking about it, Naosaburo Okabe still felt that it was necessary to let Kenichi Muto be careful and pay attention to safety.

The new regiment repeatedly defeated the elite units of the Japanese army, including the elite unit of the 6th Division of the Japanese army, which had been completely wiped out in just a day or two.

Therefore, for Taro Miyano's self-confidence success rate of seventy percent, Naosaburo Okabe disagrees with it in his heart.

However, on the bright side, Okabe Naosaburo still said in a condensed voice: "Yo Xi! Seventy percent is already good. However, since the new regiment was under the command of Li Yunlong, its combat effectiveness has increased exponentially, and its subordinate has taken over many battles against the elite of our imperial army and captured a lot of our weapons and equipment. According to the detailed reports of the Imperial soldiers who escaped from the Pingxingguan battlefield, there were 13,400 troops of the Eighth Route Army who ambushed them, and everyone was at least equipped with the Imperial Type 38 rifles! There was never a shortage of ammunition at the time of the ambush. ”。

"What does the commander mean?" Miyano Taro saw that Okabe Naosaburo's face was not happy, but was faintly worried, knowing that Okabe Naosaburo had been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops such as the New First Regiment and killed the 6th Division.

Naosaburo Okabe looked at the huge map on the table in the hall of the command room, and pointed, "The strategy of the 2nd Division to divide and attack together is not too much of a problem in itself. It's just that the north is currently in a cold winter, and the ground is hard and slippery. The Sangqian River had frozen, but once the troops under the personal command of Kenichi Muto were discovered by the Eighth Route Army, they were afraid that they would be ambushed by the enemy. Miyano-kun! ”。

"Commander!"

Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand and said, "Order the remnants of the 3rd Air Force to dispatch reconnaissance planes and cruise in the air along the Sangqian River to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. However, it is necessary to conduct ordinary reconnaissance, so that the Chinese army cannot discover the meaning of our deliberate intention to investigate. Also, send a report to Kenichi Muto and tell him to be careful. Don't underestimate the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the pass! These are cunning Chinese troops. ”。

"Well, Your Excellency, your reminder is correct. I'll do it right away. ”

Taro Miyano nodded and said, Okabe Naosaburo's deployment and reminders made him feel that Okabe Naosaburo, like the previous commander Yoshio Shinozuka, attached great importance to the new regiment.

It was only a failure to send troops to attack the Hengshan base area many times. This made Miyano Taro also feel that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army of the new regiment had reached a point where it could not be solved.

And Okabe Naosaburo continued to look at the map in front of him, and couldn't help worrying, after all, even the 6th Division was defeated in the hands of Li Yunlong of the new regiment, even if the 2nd Division was very good, whether it could completely annihilate the headquarters of the new regiment this time, Okabe Naosaburo had no bottom in his heart at this time.

"Bagaya Road, Li Yunlong! You're really an immortal little strongman! Kenichi Muto, I hope you will bring out the strong combat effectiveness of the 2nd Division! Otherwise, the next one will be a bit of trouble. Okabe Naosaburo muttered as he looked at the back of Taro Miyano walking into the communications office on the side of the military headquarters.

At this time, while Naosaburo Okabe was muttering to himself, a few minutes later, an urgent telegram sent by Taro Miyano to Kenichi Muto was quickly delivered to Kenichi Muto.

At this time, the Japanese army on the North Road under the command of Kenichi Muto had already begun a two-year rapid march along the river from south of Xuanhua and east of the Sangqian River to the west.

Due to the howling north wind, the weather conditions were not good, and Kenichi Muto was not in a good mood at this time.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the military headquarters is in an emergency." At this time, Kenichi Muto was sitting in a jeep, and a Japanese signal soldier ran over on the side, stopped Kenichi Muto's jeep, and immediately reported to him.

Kenichi Muto was slightly displeased, but he didn't angrily scold a small bag, just waved his hand and asked the communications soldier to deliver the telegram.

"Hmph, Naosaburo Okabe really thinks he can directly command my 2nd Division? It's ridiculous! The 6th Division is the 6th Division, and Gu Shoufu is Gu Shoufu. But I, Kenichi Muto, not Kenichi Tanito, not Toshio Tanichi! Heralds! ”

Ken Muto took a look at the urgent telegram sent by Naosaburo Okabe, sneered, and then shouted outside.

Soon, a Japanese herald ran to the west of the car gate, and said with a heavy pause: "Your Excellency the division commander!" Please instruct! ”。

"Hmmm! Order all troops, speed up, be sure to kill Wei County within an hour! Hurry up and drop! Kenichi Muto waved his hand arrogantly and shouted!

The devil herald's face suddenly became serious, and he paused: "Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander!" ”。

Soon, the Japanese heralds rode along the ranks of the devils on the march and shouted orders.

"The division commander has an order, speed up and run forward! Arrive in Wei County within an hour! ”

"The division commander has an order, speed up and run forward! Arrive in Ul County within hours! ”

............

Following Kenichi Muto's order, more than 15,000 Japanese troops totaling more than 15,000 troops of various arms such as the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, the cavalry wing, and the engineer wing, which were rushing along both sides of the Sangqian River, immediately threw off their feet and ran forward.

Due to heavy snow and cold weather, there was no one on both sides of the Sangqian River. In addition, the howling north wind has intensified even more, so that there is no sign of ordinary people's activities on both sides of the strait.

Even if there were, the news that most of the Japanese troops would be wiped out to prevent the raid on Hengshan by the 2nd Division was known by the new regiment.

However, on the south bank of the Sangqian River, in the snowy jungle less than 30 meters away from the river, several guerrilla fighters of the Eighth Route Army wearing white dogskin hats were holding binoculars to observe the Japanese troops marching on both sides of the Sangqian River, and were secretly surprised.

"Made, the message from above is correct. There are so many devils, at least 10,000 people, old money! ”

A guerrilla soldier of the Eighth Route Army, lurking under the snowy jungle, whispered to the guerrilla soldier who was also lying on his stomach and observing the bank of the Sangqian River.

Lao Qian said in a low voice: "My preliminary estimate has counted, there are at least about 15,000 people, I can't be wrong!" We immediately reported to the top, it seems that this devil army should be the enemy army on the north road of the Japanese 2nd Division, Made, it seems that the new regiment waited for several regiments of our army to eat Gu Shoufu's 6th Division, and the exciting devils are non-stop to send a large army out again! Rub it, the 2nd Division, this is the Devil's A Division! ”。

"Yes, it should be the devil's armor division! I heard from above that the weapons and equipment of the Devil's A Division are at least very good, and the National Army needs at least a few armies to be able to resist a blow from the Devil's A Division! Look at this devil's team and equipment, as well as ten tanks, you really look up to our Eighth Route Army! ”

Lao Qian said: "No matter, withdraw, report the news that the enemy army on the devil's north road has passed half the way!" Walk! ”。

"Hmm!" The guerrilla soldier of the Eighth Route Army who spoke nodded, then put away his binoculars and slowly retreated into the dense forest behind him.
