Sasaki Daisa's answer smashed into Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi's heart like a hammer, in fact, he had expected this result, but he never dared to believe it, and now from his chief of staff, the same conclusion was drawn, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi was really dead.

After a long time, Yoshimoto Sadachi relented and said: "Sasaki, send a report to the front army headquarters in my name, saying that all the officers and men of our 16th Division are willing to live and die with Xuanhua City, and we will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor with blood and heads!" ”

Sasaki asked in shock, "Your Excellency the Division Commander, do you mean a farewell message?" ”

"Well, it's a farewell message, and we have no explanation to the front army and the base camp except for this, let alone to His Majesty the Emperor!" Yoshimoto said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, you..."

Yoshimoto Sadachi stopped Sasaki Daisa's words and said, "Sasaki, don't say it, I've made up my mind, let's carry it out!" ”

"Hay!"

......

Peiping. Command of the North China Front.

After listening to Aiko Sato's report, Tada squatted on the chair in a decadent manner and closed his eyes in pain.

After a long pause, Tada Jun eased up slightly. The blood-red little eyes opened again, and he continued to ask in a hoarse voice: "If there is any bad news, I can bear it." ”

Aiko Sato looked at His Excellency the Grand Commander, who was sitting in a chair, and then continued: "In addition to the farewell telegram sent by His Excellency Yoshimoto, our special high school has confirmed that Qingdao, Jiaozhou, Jimo and other places have been captured by the Chinese people, including more than forty warships docked in the port of Qingdao are missing, including the flagship of the Second Fleet, the heavy cruiser Ashigara. ”

Aiko Sato's news once made Tada Jun fall into a rage, the lieutenant general who was not known for his leniency, gasped, roared, pulled out his command knife and split the desk in front of him in half, and roared angrily: "Baga, how could the people of China appear in Qingdao silently, is it a surprise attack launched by the Central Army of the leader of China, Chiang?" How did you do it, since you didn't find out about such important information at all. I remember that your special high-tech department reported to me before that there are no more formed troops in the Shandong region, except for the tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops on the Sulu border, how do you explain it? ”

Tada's cold voice sounded in Sato's ears again, and the biting cold made His Excellency the noble and high-ranking Major General shiver, if she could not satisfy His Excellency the General today, she and the commander of the aviation regiment would probably be used as scapegoats for the defeat in Qingdao.

"Your Excellency, you can't blame our intelligence agency for this, you must know that Qingdao is the defense area of the Twelfth Army, and before that, His Excellency Otaka Kamizo had repeatedly reported to the Front Army about the stability of the Shandong region. Facts have proved that under the blow of the imperial army's repeated sweeps, both the China Tuba Road and the Sulu Theater of the China Government suffered heavy losses and had to flee Shandong. ”

Then Aiko Sato continued: "Your Excellency Commander, we really don't have any news in advance about this Qingdao operation, and the informants we arranged in the Eighth Route of China and the Sulu Theater of Yu Xuezhong have not raised any alarm, so the origin of the Chinese army that captured Qingdao is questionable!" ”

"Doubt? What do you mean? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, in the entire China, there are not many troops that can stir up trouble under the nose of your Imperial Japanese Army, and there is only one such army in the North China region!"

Tada Jun was suddenly taken aback, and immediately said: "You mean that the people of China who appeared in the Qingdao area are from the Tuba Road Ma Zheng Division?" ”

"Is it very possible, and His Excellency the Commander didn't notice that Ma Zheng's troops had been acting abnormally during this time?" Aiko Sato said again.

"Abnormal?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, let's first talk about the performance of Ma Zheng's headquarters on the Shanxi battlefield, Ma Zheng's headquarters dispatched 60,000 or 70,000 troops in the Yuanping Campaign, and fought with the Fifth Division for more than ten days, except for a large number of dead and wounded soldiers but nothing was found, which is not like Ma Zheng's style at all. With his humble understanding of Ma Zheng, that person has never done useless work, even if he gave up a few cities, it was impossible to fight with the elite Fifth Division of the Empire, and his intention was obviously to drag the Fifth Division. ”

Aiko Sato continued: "Besides, why did the people of China suddenly launch an attack on the 16th Division of Xuanhua, this is obviously not Ma Zheng's ultimate goal, he knows very well that if it is not for the final decisive battle, it is impossible to pose any threat to Beiping with the strength of the Eighth Route of China, and the purpose of attacking Xuanhua is only to attract the attention and attention of the front army to Xuanhua, so that the front army does not dare to send troops in the direction of Shandong. Therefore, he thinks that the army that attacked Qingdao is likely to be Ma Zheng's department! ”

"Nani, this is impossible, Ma Zheng's department has always been active in the northern grasslands and Shanxi, how can it be possible to suddenly go south to Shandong, how many imperial army strongholds do you have to pass through all the way from Shandong to Qingdao, and you also have to pass through the territory of the government army in China?" Tada Jun asked incredulously.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I also know that this is indeed shocking, but the only army that can capture the entire Qingdao in such a short period of time is Ma Zheng's subordinate has such strength. As for what His Excellency the Commander said, it may be difficult for others, but it is nothing for Ma Zheng's department, you must know that during the first Wuhan Raid, this army even rushed thousands of miles to Wuhan. Aiko Sato said.

Tada Jun fell into deep thought, and only said again after a long time: "In this way, Tubalu has been digging a pit for the front army, Yaga!" ”

"Your Excellency Commander, Ma Zheng is very cunning, and now His Excellency Sadachi Yoshimoto is in danger, if he is not rescued, Yoshimoto-kun is likely to die with Xuanhua City. In order to avoid a greater catastrophe, we must mobilize troops north as soon as possible to reinforce them. Aiko Sato suggested loudly.

"Yo Xi, the situation is critical now, that bastard Yoshimoto Sadachi and part of the remnants of the 16th Division are surrounded in Xuanhua City, and the strength of about two divisions of Ma Zheng's division has already occupied all the areas north of Xuanhua, and some troops in the second district have broken through to Xuanhua City, and it won't take long to completely occupy Xuanhua City, so the 16th Division must be rescued immediately!" Tada Jundo.

"What Your Excellency Commander said is very reasonable, but now the railway and road leading to Xuanhua have been completely destroyed by the Chinese people, and the Chinese people have also planted a large number of mines on the road, and the 15th Mixed Brigade that went to reinforce it has only traveled less than thirty kilometers in a day, and I am afraid that His Excellency Yoshimoto will probably not be able to hold out on to the arrival of reinforcements!" Aiko Sato said in a deep voice.

"What do you want to do?" Tada Jun knew that this subordinate was very insightful and sometimes could always make some valuable suggestions, so he immediately asked.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that the Front Army Command order the 16th Division to immediately break through from Xuanhua City. You must know that now the people of China have only attacked the north gate of Xuanhua and have not formed a comprehensive encirclement of Xuanhua, so as long as they act quickly, His Excellency Yoshimoto and the remnants of the 16th Division can still break through to the south. What's more, the 15th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is already on its way to Xuanhua, as long as His Excellency Yoshimoto can quickly converge with Nagumo's headquarters after breaking through the siege, it will be equivalent to success! Aiko Sato said again.

"Yo Xi!"

Tada Jun relieved himself, took a few sips of cold tea by the way, and then continued: "What you said is very reasonable, since the loss of Xuanhua is a foregone conclusion, then there is no need to compensate another division and lieutenant general, immediately order the 16th Division to cover each other and withdraw from the battle, break through in the direction of Beiping, and at the same time order the troops around Beiping to immediately assemble and prepare to deal with the southward attack of Ma Zheng's department!" ”

Tada Jun deserves to be a rare tactician in the Japanese Army, and he analyzed the key to this battle at a glance. Now that he had calmed down, Tada Jun looked even more terrifying, his keen eyes swept around the huge military map, looking for loopholes in Ma Zheng's defenses. (To be continued.) )
