Major General Shibasaki did not speak with a calm face.

The deputy's analysis is very reasonable, and it is all big truth. However, he was not reconciled, giving the order to break through and retreat meant failure, his first battle with the new regiment ended in failure, and he also lost his troops, what will Okamura Ninji, who favors him, think of himself, how will the division commander who has not yet met look at himself, will he look down on himself!

This series of reasons and pressures made him hesitate, frowning and deep in thought, not knowing how to answer.

It wasn't until a lieutenant rushed in with a panic that he finally made a decision!

"Sir, the artillery is over, the armored units of the Eighth Route Army attacking from the north have just raided our artillery position!"

"The imperial army of the two mountain artillery brigades is not an opponent at all in front of the armored vehicles, they die to death, they flee, and all the mountain artillery is lost!"

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking from the west seems to know that this is the headquarters, and it has divided one tank, three armored vehicles, and a company of infantry to attack us directly!" The deputy captain of the guard rushed in and reported.

"The guards are desperately resisting, but we don't have anti-tank artillery, we don't have mountain artillery, so we can only organize death squads to launch suicide attacks to blow them up. The losses in the troops were very large, and they certainly couldn't hold out for long! ”

The deputy reminded again: "General, you can't wait any longer~ Without a rapid-fire artillery squadron and two mountain artillery brigades, it is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory!" Only by breaking through will we be able to survive, and the longer it drags on here, the greater the losses of the troops! ”

"Then break through~" Major General Shibasaki finally made a decision.

And at the moment when these words were spoken, the strength of the whole person seemed to be instantly drained, and he sat directly on the chair, and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, the deputy immediately ordered: "Immediately contact the division commander in Linfen City, we were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, they dispatched tanks and armored vehicles, the troops suffered heavy losses, prepare to break through, ask them to send troops to respond, and keep in touch with the radio!" ”

"Order all the subordinate units of the brigade to assemble immediately and prepare to break through!"

Then he walked up to Major General Shibasaki and asked, "General, from which direction do we break through!" ”

"Although the south side of the garrison has not been attacked, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and no one dares to guarantee that they will prepare a pocket formation for us in the south and then kill us!"

"Contact the head of the Fujino Division, report our situation to him, and let him give us ideas!" Major General Shibasaki, who had regained a little composure, ordered unexpectedly.

The deputy's face showed a look of disbelief.

All along, Major General Shibasaki, who was particularly arrogant in front of his subordinates, was gone, and was replaced by a Shibasaki who had lost the battle and lost his fighting spirit.

Shibasaki saw the confusion on the chief of staff's face, and then explained.

"Any idea why we lost tonight? And it was so badly defeated! ”

"We are too underestimated to understand our opponents at all!"

"Originally, I thought that more than 20 mountain artillery pieces were the killer weapon in the hands of the new regiment that had the courage to attack us tonight. Unexpectedly, these mountain cannons were just an appetizer prepared for us by the new group. ”

"The real killer is the tanks and armored vehicles that we have never thought of, and the advanced weapons that even the elite units of the government army are not equipped with!"

"And the explosion just now, so many of our troops are actually stationed on a powder keg that can kill us at any time! If this matter spreads, I, Shibasaki, will definitely become a laughing stock in the mouths of all the generals of the empire! ”

"I don't know if there is a pocket formation of the Eighth Route Army to the south of the station. Only the division commander of Linfen City knew. They know the new regiment and know the true strength of the new regiment, and they can judge whether the new regiment has other troops to prepare a pocket formation for us in the south from the exposed strength of the new regiment on the battlefield and the troop movements in other places! ”

"Contact the division commander now, report our current situation to him, and ask him to determine the direction of the breakthrough for us!"

"The general is wise!" The deputy said with a look of sudden realization and compliment.

Then he replied: "I'll go and send a telegram to Linfen City right now and ask for tactical guidance~"

The reinforcements that the front army has transferred to itself tomorrow night will arrive, and Lieutenant General Fujino seems to have seen the picture of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army being beaten to pieces under his own attack!

With this thought, Fujino slept very soundly at night, with a smile on the corner of his mouth in his sleep.

"Division commander, something happened, something happened to the mixed brigade that reinforced us!" The chief of staff didn't even knock on the door, and directly broke into the room to report.

From the sound Fujino, you can tell the urgency of this matter.

After a moment's rubbing, he sat up from the bed: "The cunning new regiment, the artillery did not spare the only night that the mixed brigade stayed overnight in their base area!" ”

"How's it going? The mixed brigade alone numbered more than 8,000 men, and was also armed with a large number of artillery, and there was no sign of a large-scale mobilization of our opponent's new regiment. Therefore, if they are attacked by a new small group of troops and guerrillas, there should be no major problems! ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "No, division commander, we all misjudged!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the mixed brigade has at least 5,000 people, and there is also a large number of artillery, I really can't understand where the new regiment has transferred so many troops!"

Fujino shook his head and replied: "Even if the new regiment of the attacking force has 5,000 people and is well-equipped, our mixed brigade is not vegetarian!" ”

"Although I have never dealt with Major General Shibasaki, I will definitely have no problem with my command ability if I can be entrusted with a heavy task by His Excellency the Commander!"

"I believe that it is not necessarily possible to command the mixed brigade to repel the attack of the new regiment, and if it is not possible to fight a counterattack, it is possible to inflict heavy damage or total annihilation of these Eighth Route Army!"

"Didn't we prepare two brigades? Send a telegram to Major General Shibasaki, asking him if he needs reinforcements, attack inside and outside, and kill the Eighth Route Army attacking them! ”

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Fujino's face directly showed a very relaxed and victorious expression.

The chief of staff, who finally seized the opportunity to speak, hurriedly denied: "Division commander, in addition to a large number of infantry and artillery, the new regiment attacking them also has dozens of armored vehicles!" ”

"Because Major General Shibasaki did not understand the opponent, he lost a large number of troops at the beginning because of the light enemy, and also lost artillery and rapid-fire artillery units that could take out armored vehicles!"

"Now the troops have suffered heavy losses, in order to reduce casualties, they have decided to break through, please help them determine the direction of the breakthrough, please the division commander!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Fujino couldn't sit still.

Put on a military coat and rush to the war room not far away.

As he walked, he asked: "This Major General Shibasaki has not lost his cool yet, very good!" ”

"I know that I don't know the new group, and I'm afraid that I will be tricked again, and then come directly to ask us the direction of the breakthrough, because we know the new group better!"

"If I'm not wrong, he must have sent all the battlefield situations over, report it immediately, the sooner the better!"

"This mixed brigade is our hope for counterattacking the new regiment, and it is also the hope of His Excellency the Commander of the Front Army, there must be no accidents!"
