"Your Excellency, Commander, I wonder what you are doing with you summoning us and others early in the morning?"

Nishio Shouzo did not answer with a gloomy face, but turned his head to look at the staff officer on duty on the side.

The devil staff officer got the signal, nodded at Nishio Shouzo, and then said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the situation is like this......"

"Shhh

After listening, Suzuki took a breath of relief, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he was mourning: "The 108th Division is completely wiped out, how is this possible?"

Even if the Chinese defenders have the help of the Tiger Regiment, the 108th Division is not attacking effectively, and self-protection is definitely not a problem, right? ”

At this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps came from outside the commander's tent, and then the communications staff officer hurriedly broke in from the outside, looked around, and finally fixed on the body of the commander Nishio Shouzo, and after saluting, he said: "Report to Your Excellency the commander, the 4th Division has called back." ”

The words of this staff adjutant immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the commanding military tent, and Nishio Shouzo hurriedly asked: "What does the 4th Division say?" ”

The 4th Division sent a telegram back saying that the terrain around Mingqian Town was extremely complicated, and if it attacked overnight, it was afraid that it would fall into the trap of the Chinese Tiger Regiment because of the unfamiliar terrain.

Therefore, there was no attack last night! ”

"Baga Ya Road! Damn it! It's really hateful! ”

When Nishio Shouzo heard this, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he was furious: "This hateful Matsui order actually disobeyed my military order again, not to mention the delay of the fighter plane, and even caused the 108th Division of the Western Front to be defeated on all fronts, and tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and soldiers were all shattered because of him!"

He's a sinner in my great Japanese empire, and I'm going to kill him! ”

As soon as he spoke, Nishio Shouzo slapped the conference table in front of him, and with a muffled "bang", the conference table made of solid wood was slapped and shook slightly.

The group of devil officers in front of him were all trembling with fright.

At this time, Chief of Staff Suzuki led the way to finally understand why Commander Nishio Shouzo was so angry, in addition to the 108th Division's total annihilation, there was also the 4th Division's disobedience.

At this moment, he was also resentful of Matsui, the guy who disregarded the military life and thus delayed the fighter, but he was still forced by the current situation to admonish Nishio Shouzo: "Your Excellency Commander, Matsui's crime, even if he is shot is not an exaggeration.

But now is not the best time to punish him.

At present, the 108th Division has just been newly defeated, and at this time, if Matsui's crime is cured again, the fear of the army's heart will be shaken, and it will be difficult to capture Taiyuan City with only the troops of the northern front.

If nothing else, the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment is on the way to Mingqian Town in the east of Taiyuan City.

Since the Tiger Regiment was able to defeat the 108th Division, it was inevitable that even if it did not come out, it would inevitably send at least half of its troops.

At present, the area around Mingqian Town must be empty, and it is the best time for our army to attack.

However, there is not much time left for us, from Niushou Mountain to Mingqian Town, about 60 kilometers, and the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment is as fast as 5 hours, and it will not exceed 6 hours at the latest.

At present, more than an hour has passed since the defeat of the 108th Division, that is, there are still 4 hours left for us at most.

Once the Tiger Ben Regiment army successfully returned to defense, our army may no longer have the possibility of capturing its position.

Our troops missed the best time to attack last night, and we must not miss this last opportunity to attack again.

Therefore, it is suggested that we should immediately order the 4th Division to immediately launch an attack on the defenders of the Tiger Regiment in Mingqian Town!

If you can hit it with one blow and successfully capture the defenders' positions of the Tiger Regiment, you can take Matsui's life lightly!

If you can't capture the defenders of the Tiger Regiment, or if Matsui disobeys the military order again and stays still, he will be punished directly and sent to a military court! ”

"Hmm!"

Nishio Shouzo had a gloomy face and an extremely heavy expression, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded, agreeing and adopting the suggestion of Chief of Staff Suzuki.

……

The picture pulls to Mingqian Town, the temporary station of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

After receiving the death order from the Temporary Dispatch Army Headquarters, the division commander Matsui ordered the communications staff officer who reported to press the matter back, and continued to lie on the bed and fall asleep heartlessly.

"Your Excellency the division commander, now that your butt is burning, why can you still sleep?"

At this time, a group of devil officers led by Chief of Staff Naomi Kawai were so anxious that they hurriedly urged.

Helpless, forced by everyone's noise, Matsui had to get up from the bed sleepy-eyed.

After glancing around with an unkind gaze, he asked: "You all know the situation, with the strength of the 108th Division, it was easily defeated by the Tiger Regiment, if we take the initiative to attack, isn't this going to die?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this time is different from the past, now the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment has rushed to the area of Niushou Mountain on the western front of Taiyuan to resist our Japanese 108th Division, and its main position in the area of Mingqian Town is bound to be empty.

Perhaps, this is a good time for my 4th Division to make a name for itself! ”

"yes, yes!"

After Chief of Staff Naomi Kawai finished speaking, many other devil officers also spoke up in support, and there was a rare expression of eagerness on their faces.

As businessmen, although most of them like to pursue profits, sometimes, they are still willing to serve their country without taking risks.

"Do you really think that Yang Chen dared to take the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment away from the main position, would he not be prepared?

What a bunch of idiots!

I, the Great Japanese Empire, how many people want to eat the Tiger Ben Regiment and win this immortal war feat?

But in the end?

The 1st Army was wiped out, the 14th Division was wiped out, and the 5th Division, the 20th Division, and the 11th Brigade were hit hard! Now there is one more 108th Division, and the whole army is wiped out!

Look at the Tiger Ben Regiment again, but they are becoming more and more brave and stronger the more they fight!

These are all bloody lessons, do you want my 4th Division to repeat their mistakes?

If it weren't as I expected, before Yang Chen left, he must have left behind a killer weapon that was enough to deal with us!

This is the territory of the Chinese, the terrain and terrain, they have long been familiar with it, and we know nothing!

Especially now that the sky is not bright, it is even more unfavorable for our army, if we forcibly launch an attack, we will definitely fall into the trap set by Yang Chen. ”

At this time, Matsui Ming was already dressed neatly, glanced at everyone present meaningfully, and said slowly and earnestly: "Everyone, it is better to be alive than anything else!" Those careerists like to make achievements, so let them go. ”

Hearing this, everyone fell into a deep groan.

After a while, Chief of Staff Naomi Kawai frowned, and said with some concern: "What His Excellency the Division Commander said is extremely true!" But the crux of the matter is that His Excellency the Commander has already given a death order, and if we don't take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that we will really be punished by the military headquarters! ”
