Chapter 602: Umezu Mijiro

Umezu Mijiro has the common experience of many Japanese generals, graduated from the non-commissioned officer military academy, the Army University, and he is not very tall.

Shijiazhuang, the headquarters of the First Army, Umezu Mijiro stood in front of the window of his office, and he looked outside.

It had been a few days since he took over as commander of the First Army, and Umezu Mijiro learned in detail about the situation of the new 2nd Brigade in Binh Dinh County.

The Zhengtai Railway is going to pass through Binh Dinh County, and with the new 2nd Brigade troops taking control of Binh Dinh County, the Zhengtai Railway is in a state of paralysis, and such a thing will not be allowed to happen by Umezu Mijiro.

"Your Excellency Commander, at present we are able to transfer troops from the 108th Division and the 109th Division, after our application, His Excellency Commander Terauchi Shoichi promised to temporarily assign the troops of the First Brigade of the Mixed Combat to our command, and the First Brigade of the Mixed Combat has also returned from the front line, and we can transfer troops from two divisions and one brigade, but the 108th Division and the 109th Division have garrison tasks, so we can only transfer the strength of three brigades at most."

Major General Shojiro Iida, Chief of Staff of the First Army, stood in front of Umezu Mijiro, his eyes looked at Umezu Mijiro, and he reported softly.

"Although the first brigade of the melee has achieved great results on the front line, the casualties of their troops are not small, the 108th Division and the 109th Division have suffered heavy losses from the Chinese troops before, and the commander of the 108th Division has just been replaced, I am afraid it is not appropriate to fight at this time, and there is no progress in the intelligence organs."

Umezu Mijiro said in a calm tone, he was a new officer, and he also wanted to wipe out the new 2nd Brigade troops in Pingding County, but he would not make impulsive deployments.

Many people have this evaluation of Umezu Mijiro: he is not tall, he has a kind attitude on the surface, there is no arrogance, and his language also gives people a sense of humility and elegance.

But in fact, in the year that Umezu Mijiro served as the commander of the First Army, he mobilized Japanese troops to brutally suppress the rebels and civilians several times with Taiyuan as the center, and in the later period when he was the commander of the Kwantung Army, he signed the order to expand the infamous Unit 731.

Umezu Mijiro is a smiling tiger, and at the same time he is a vicious dog who doesn't bark, so once he is targeted, it is not a good thing.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Shojiro Iida asked suspiciously.

"Call Momoyo Kunomura, I want to have a meeting with him." Umezu Mijiro said lightly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Shojiro Iida replied immediately.

Soon, Kunomura Momoyo rushed to the headquarters of the First Army, Kunomura Momoyo, who had just returned from the front line, was very beautiful this time, and the first brigade of the melee achieved great results in this operation, especially in the operation of rescuing the 14th division, the first brigade of the melee defeated the ******** infantry division one after another, annihilating more than 3,000 Chinese troops.

"Your Excellency, Commander." After coming to Umezu Mijiro, Kunomura Momoyo immediately saluted and said.

"Commander of the Kuno Brigade, thank you for your hard work, sit down and say, I want to hear your opinion on the troops of the new Second Brigade." Umezu Mijiro said with a smile.

Kunomura Momoyo sat on the chair, he looked at Umezu Mijiro, and directly said his opinion of Sun Weiguo's troops.

Even though he returned from the front line with numerous honors, Kunomura Momoyo did not dare to underestimate Sun Weiguo's troops, in his opinion, the new second brigade troops were not simple.

At present, the first brigade of the mixed battle has four infantry brigades, four tank squadrons, five artillery squadrons, and the brigade headquarters also has engineers, cavalry, baggage troops, scouts and other troops, but Kunomura Momoyo knows that it is still difficult to completely annihilate the troops of the new second brigade in the first brigade of the mixed battle.

"Your Excellency Commander, I have learned about the situation of Sun Weiguo's new second brigade troops, this time Sun Weiguo's troops are equipped with a large number of artillery and tank troops, and an ordinary infantry brigade may not be able to annihilate them, if you want to destroy them, at least you must dispatch the corresponding tank troops and heavy artillery units."

Kunomura Momoyo looked at Umezu Mijiro in front of him, and he said in a solemn tone.

Umezu Mijiro nodded thoughtfully, his gaze looking at the map with a pensive expression on his face.

"I will strengthen a batch of anti-tank guns in various departments, the commander of the Kuno Brigade, your brigade must restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, now that the troops of the new Second Brigade occupy Pingding County, and the Zhengtai Railway is completely paralyzed, we must solve them as soon as possible, and we must not let them continue to occupy Pingding County." Umezu Mijiro looked at Kunomura Momoyo in front of him and said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Kunomura Momoyo immediately saluted and said.

Umezu Mijiro has his sights set on the new 2nd Brigade in Pingding County, but now he has no troops to deploy, so he can only wait.

The troops of the New Second Brigade are still training in Binh Dinh County, and as the sweat of the soldiers penetrates the land, the combat effectiveness of the New Second Brigade has begun to improve.

Sun Weiguo will not stay in the armored battalion for a long time now, he has begun to return to the brigade headquarters in the county seat, and the training of the armored battalion Sun Weiguo is handed over to Yin Jinshan to be responsible.

"Brigade commander, this is Fan Shuming's recent activities, there are many people who have been in contact with him, I have begun a secret investigation, and now we also have evidence of Fan Shuming's defection to the enemy, we have found a traitor, this traitor has seen Fan Shuming in the Japanese army."

In the brigade headquarters, Wang Kunyao came to Sun Weiguo, and after standing in front of Sun Weiguo, Wang Kunyao took the initiative to hand a document to Sun Weiguo.

At present, Fan Shuming is holding a staff officer position at the brigade headquarters, but the brigade headquarters has hidden anything from him.

Fan Shuming also knew that he was exposed, but because of the stinger, Fan Shuming had to stay in the new second brigade to cooperate with the stinger.

"We didn't give him a chance to grasp confidential matters, where did the news of the last troop raid on the Japanese 132nd Wing Department leak out, I think there must still be spies sent by the Japanese army within the new Second Brigade, Fan Shuming should not move for the time being, and use him to let the Japanese spies appear." Sun Weiguo said solemnly.

"Yes, Brigadier." Wang Kunyao took the initiative to salute and said.

After Wang Kunyao left the office, Sun Weiguo looked at the map, and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

The previous troops occupied Binh Dinh County because the Japanese troops were all fighting on the front line, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to transfer troops to attack the New Second Brigade.

But as the Battle of Lanfeng began to come to an end and the Japanese troops began to return to their stations, Sun Weiguo had to think about the situation of his new Second Brigade troops.

"Now we are surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides, and if the Japanese army attack, we have nowhere to evacuate."

Looking at Pingding County, where the new Second Brigade was located on the map, Sun Weiguo muttered to himself.
