Chapter 1046: Yoshio Shinozuka's Last Hope

"Your Excellency Commander!"

After Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo confirmed Shinozuka Yoshio's decision, he couldn't help but slap his loud ass, then stood up, picked up his baton and came to the military map hanging on the wall, pointed to the direction where Jincheng was located, and said: "Although there are many mountains in Jincheng, the terrain is far less complicated than Lingchuan, at least after the Tiger Ben Regiment is attacked by the imperial army, if you want to go deep into the mountains, you need to retreat into Lingchuan first."

In this way, as long as the imperial army sends enough troops, it can be completely annihilated, and even the chance to escape will not be given to the Tiger Bun Regiment. ”

After Okabe Naosaburo finished speaking, another Osa staff officer's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to speak: "In this way, we seem to have lost more than 10,000 imperial troops and a county town, but in fact, we have set a trap for the Tiger Ben Regiment. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "That's good, but you can't say that." The defeat of the imperial army this time is still a great shame.

In addition, Jincheng is lost, and Yangcheng has become the last barrier of Zhongtian Mountain, and there must be no more mistakes! Therefore, the 12th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was immediately ordered to go from Qinshui to Yangcheng to assist the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade in defending Yangcheng. ”

Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe added, "Your Excellency, in addition to advancing westward, we must also prevent the Tiger Regiment from moving south. ”

"Well, your worries are not unreasonable." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded heavily in agreement, and then got up and came to the military map, carefully observed the terrain around Jincheng and the deployment of military forces, and said: "Immediately transfer the 12th Brigade from Luoyang to Jiyuan. ”

"Your Excellency the Commander is clever!" Okabe Naosaburo slapped another sycophant, and then said: "Now, we have besieged the Tiger Bentuan in Jincheng, as long as the opportunity is right, we can mobilize a large army to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

In addition, we have a strange army, and that is the Yamamoto Agent Brigade.

According to the information sent back by Yamamoto Jun before, this time Yang Chen did not go out with the army, but stayed at the Tiger Ben Regiment station. ”

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at a communications staff officer next to him and asked, "By the way, did the Yamamoto Special Agent Brigade call back the headquarters?" ”

A devil Shaozo stood up and responded: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander, not yet!" ”

Hearing this suddenly, Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly became gloomy.

It stands to reason that most of the night has passed, and the operation of Yamamoto's agent team has already ended.

As a result, there is no news so far, what does it mean, Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Send me a telegram to Agent Yamamoto immediately, and report back to me as soon as you get in touch!"

"Haya!" The communications staff officer responded respectfully, then turned around and left the conference room, walking briskly towards the confidential room next to it.

Okabe Naosaburo understood Shinozuka Yoshio's thoughts, and said: "Your Excellency Commander, don't worry, Yamamoto-kun just can't lead the Yamamoto Special Agent Brigade to capture the Tiger Ben Regiment station, but self-protection is not a problem. ”

"Hmm!"

Naosaburo Okabe nodded heavily.

……

On the other side, after receiving Yoshio Shinozuka's telegram, the 12th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which was far away in Qinshui, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and gathered troops overnight and rushed to Chaoyang City without stopping.

The 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade in the direction of Luoyang also rushed to Jiyuan overnight.

…………

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

Some people are angry, and naturally some people are happy.

After the coalition forces took Jincheng.

Chu Yunfei immediately reported this good news to the theater command.

After Li Yunlong controlled the warehouse and cleaned up the battlefield, he immediately reported the good news to the brigade headquarters, which in turn reported it to the top of the Eighth Route Army.

…………

1st Theater Command.

Although the situation in Mt. Nakajo has improved, the crisis has not been resolved.

Although there have been no major battles recently, there have been local battles with the Japanese army.

The Chinese side has not been able to gain the upper hand in the fighting.

In addition to investing a large number of central troops in this battle, more than 80 percent of the Jin Sui army was also invested.

As the supreme commander of the theater, Yan Laoxi has always maintained a high degree of attention to the situation on the front line.

Because the victory or defeat of this battle is not only related to the lifeblood of China, but also to the fate of his Yan.

At will, Yan Laoxi instructed his attendant guard adjutant Zhang Riming to sit in the communication room, and as soon as he had any important information, he must report it to him immediately.

When Zhang Riming received the telegram from Chu Yunfei from the front line, he was shocked by the content of the telegram.

Ask the confidential personnel repeatedly to confirm that there are no translation errors.

In the end, he sent a telegram to the Tiger Bentuan, and after being confirmed, he hurried to Yan Laoxi's bedroom.

The door to the bedroom has been extinguished.

There were two guards with submachine guns standing at the door, and when they saw Zhang Riming who was hurrying over, they immediately stood up and saluted.

Zhang Riming immediately asked, "Is the head seat asleep?" ”

"I should be asleep."

One of the guards replied.

Zhang Riming thought that since the outbreak of the Battle of Tianzhen, the battle situation in Shanxi has become worse and worse, and finally even the capital Taiyuan has been lost.

Especially the recent battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, it is related to the life and death fate of the entire first war zone, and the commander-in-chief is heartbroken for these, often insomnia, and even sleepless all night, and his health is getting worse and worse.

Thinking of these, Zhang Riming's heart couldn't help but feel distressed.

However, at this moment, Zhang Riming had to wake him up ruthlessly.

Because this matter is not trivial, but a great success, it is absolutely necessary to let the commander-in-chief know it at the first time.

Otherwise, he will definitely blame himself even more later.

So, Zhang Riming was ruthless, and slowly pushed the door open.

"Squeak! ——”

As soon as the door was pushed open, Yan Laoxi on the bed was awakened.

Because of the backlight, Yan Laoxi looked down on Zhang Riming's appearance, but Zhang Riming had been by his side for many years.

Yan Laoxi could recognize Zhang Riming just by a figure, voice, or footsteps.

So he said, "Riming, come here now, do you have anything to report?" ”

Zhang Riming suppressed his excitement, walked up and turned on the light, then saluted, walked over and sent the 358 regiment, and handed it to Yan Laoxi together with the confirmation message of the tiger group, and said: "Boss, this is an urgent message that I just received from the head of the 358th regiment, Chu Yunfei Chu. ”

Before Zhang Riming's words were finished, Yan Laoxi was reflexive, immediately grabbed the telegram, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" What's going on at the front? ”

"No, it's good news. The coalition composed of the Tiger Regiment, the 358th Regiment, and the Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army killed more than 10,000 Japanese troops and successfully recaptured the county seat of Jincheng! ”
