Chapter Forty-Seven: It's the Baoshan Regiment Again

"Four battles and four victories! All 104 Wing! Defeat the Shigedo detachment!? ”

Admiral Tang's tone became heavier and heavier, but the expression on his face became more and more incredulous.

The staff officers next to him were also in an uproar, and all the expressions on their faces were in disbelief.

If the Baoshan Regiment assisted the 672nd Regiment to block the onslaught of the Shigetsu Detachment and the 104th Wing of the Yue Army, then most of them could barely accept it, but to say that the defeated corps of the Baoshan Regiment plus the remnants of the 672nd Regiment could completely annihilate the 104th Wing of the Yue Army and then defeat the Shigeto Detachment, it would be too whimsical, right?

It is said that there must be more than 3,000 people in a field wing, right?

It is said that a detachment of the army is a mixed brigade, and there must be **1,000 people, to say the least, right?

When the two armies are added together, there are more than 10,000 people, but how many people are there in the Baoshan Regiment and the 672nd Regiment together? Up to five thousand!

The strength is at an absolute disadvantage, and the equipment cannot be compared, the heavy vine detachment should have a mountain artillery wing, but the Baoshan regiment and the 672 regiment can have a few small cannons, such a comparison of troops, such a comparison of firepower, the Baoshan regiment and the 672 regiment can hold Yangzhou should burn high incense, and in turn defeat the opponent?

Obviously, if it is not the chief of staff who is talking nonsense with a high fever, it is the Baoshan Regiment and the 672nd Regiment who are lying about the military situation.

"Chief of Staff, could this be a mistake?" Admiral Tang obviously didn't believe it either, and this thing was indeed unbelievable.

"It can't be wrong." The chief of staff's tone was quite firm, and as he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to General Tang and said, "Commander, this is a telegram sent by Liu Yi, the commander of the 672nd Regiment. ”

Admiral Tang hurriedly took the telegram and said, "Liu Yi's 672nd Regiment also participated in the attack?" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Liu Yi did participate in the battle, but the 672nd regiment did not participate in the battle. ”

General Tang's gaze immediately left the telegram, and turned to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, what do you mean by this?" ”

The chief of staff pointed to the telegram in General Tang's hand and said: "Liu Yi said in the telegram that Yangzhou had been lost as early as the afternoon before yesterday, and his 672nd regiment had been defeated, and more than a dozen people survived. ”

"What?" Admiral Tang was furious and said, "Why didn't Liu Yi report such a big incident as the loss of Yangzhou?" ”

The chief of staff said with a wry smile: "The 672 regiment was almost wiped out, and the radio station was gone, so Liu Yi couldn't report it even if he wanted to." ”

"What about Yue Weihan?" Admiral Tang said with residual anger, "Yangzhou was obviously lost the day before yesterday, but why did the telegram sent by Yue Weihan in the early hours of yesterday morning say that the situation in Yangzhou is acceptable? ”

The chief of staff still smiled bitterly: "Yue Weihan is not wrong, the situation was indeed acceptable at that time. ”

General Tang frowned when he heard this, and the staff officers next to him were even more confused.

The chief of staff coughed and said, "Commander, I'll start from the beginning." ”

At that moment, the chief of staff started from the forced march of the Baoshan regiment for more than 150 miles the night before yesterday, and talked until the defeat of the Shigeto detachment today, and only after talking for more than ten minutes could he be regarded as making the whole thing clear, but General Tang and those staff officers were so fascinated by what they heard that they were almost stupid.

"Pretty, so pretty!" Admiral Tang finally came back to his senses and sighed, "Well done!" ”

At this time, the staff officers in the headquarters finally came to their senses and began to analyze them.

"Amazing, Yue Weihan's surprise attack is so beautiful, he actually won Yangzhou without knowing it!"

"Who's to say it isn't? Even the devil's baggage team that was coming fifty miles away was unaware, and as a result, they got into the arms of the Baoshan regiment, hey, the whole detachment plus a wing and half a month's baggage supplies were all cheap Baoshan regiment, with this confidence, it is no wonder that Yue Weihan, this kid, dares to go to the death and knock the army. ”

"To say that the little devil is really rampant, knowing that the Baoshan Regiment has taken their baggage, knowing that his artillery and light and heavy machine guns have become ornaments, he actually dares to go back to the division to save Yangzhou, even if he has the strength of a wing, is it possible that he can still use a bayonet to overturn the Baoshan Regiment? I really don't know how dead words are written. ”

"With the arrogance of a little devil, it is not at all strange to make such a decision."

"That's right, a few thousand devils can drive away 400,000 Northeast Army to occupy the four eastern provinces, and a dozen cavalry can take down Chengde, not long ago in Xinkou, Sakagaki Seishiro, the old devil, defeated Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang more than 30 full divisions with half a division, under such a brilliant record, it is difficult for the little devil not to be rampant."

"If you want me to say, Yue Weihan's ability to make decisions on the spot is really extraordinary, if he changes someone else, he may accept it after the 104th Wing is annihilated, but he doesn't, and he can't even take a breath, so he pounced on the Shigeto detachment with more than 2,000 tired and hungry but excited routs from the whole regiment."

"The old devil Shigedo Chiaki reacted quickly, and the decision to take the initiative to shrink was also wise, but he was unlucky when he met Yue Weihan, an opponent who did not play cards according to the rules, and a chaotic punch came over, and the Chongdo detachment, which had run out of ammunition, was inevitably defeated."

"Okay, don't fucking blow it, is the meat numb or not?" Admiral Tang pursed his lips, then turned back to the chief of staff and said, "Chief of staff, immediately send a report to Wuhan and tell the old man the good news." ”

Without waiting for the chief of staff to turn around and leave, General Tang said again: "By the way, aren't there still two Sichuan legions in the city?" Let them immediately cross the river to replenish the Baoshan Regiment, after the Baoshan Regiment defeated the 104th Wing and the Shigeto Detachment, its own casualties will definitely not be small, if they do not replenish their troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the advance of the Kunisaki Detachment. ”

The chief of staff said: "The two Sichuan legions have a total of more than 1,000 people and more than 100 guns, can they do it?" ”

Admiral Tang said: "The Baoshan Regiment just defeated the Shigetsu Detachment and the 104th Wing and robbed the baggage, are you still afraid that you won't have guns?" ”

"yes, how did I forget about it." The chief of staff nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Admiral Tang said: "Telegraph Yue Weihan again, ask him to immediately grab Jiangpu Town west of Pukou, and then nail it there for me like a nail, at least for half a month!" ”

"Yes." The chief of staff stood up and saluted, then turned and left.

The faces of the staff officers in the headquarters suddenly became solemn again.

The Baoshan Regiment was able to completely annihilate the Tashiro Wing and defeat the Shigeto Detachment, it was entirely because many favorable factors were gathered together, and the Baoshan Regiment was able to create a miracle, but then in the face of the Kunisaki Detachment, the Baoshan Regiment could no longer have such good luck, and Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Regiment would have to be confessed in Jiangpu Town.

………… Wuhan, Xingying.

When the telegram was received, Chairman Chiang was inspecting the Hanyang Arsenal accompanied by a large number of high-ranking generals.

Hanyang Arsenal is one of the three major arsenals of the Republic of China, and Taiyuan Arsenal and Shenyang Arsenal are equally famous, unfortunately, the four eastern provinces and North China have fallen, Shenyang Arsenal and Taiyuan Arsenal are all cheap, now only Hanyang Arsenal is still working overtime and night, producing weapons and ammunition for the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.

When he walked to the bullet workshop, a guard in the chamber suddenly hurried in with a telegram.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, hurriedly stepped forward to take the telegram, and then handed the telegram to Chairman Jiang, who hurriedly read the telegram, and immediately became overjoyed, and turned back to the group of senior generals behind him and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Tang Shenzhi has just sent good news from Nanjing, and the Baoshan Regiment has defeated a field wing and a mixed brigade with a single regiment, and has also captured alive the major general and detachment leader of the Shigetto detachment of the Yue Army, Chiaki Shigeto!" ”

"What? One regiment defeated Yuekou, a field wing and a mixed brigade? ”

"And captured alive the commander of the Major General detachment, Chiaki Shigeto? Incredible, incredible! ”

"Yes, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, [***] has never had a precedent of winning more with less, which is amazing!"

Suddenly, the group of senior generals whispered one after another, but they were all happy, and they couldn't help but have a sour grape mentality in their hearts, how could this good thing be taken up by Yue Weihan, this kid?

"Shihe, you go and arrange it, I will hold a press conference immediately." Chairman Jiang said happily, "Also, immediately forward this telegram to the Central News Agency, the Central News Agency, and the major newspapers throughout the country, so that the major newspapers can immediately print the numbers, and we must let the news of Yangzhou's great victory appear in the newspaper as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe agreed and hurriedly took the order.

………… Shanghai, the headquarters of the Central China Front.

Two full pieces of telegrams have been placed on Matsui Ishone's desk, and Matsui Ishone sits quietly behind the desk, his thin body almost blending into the shadow of the silhouette of the chair!

Major General Tsukada Tsuka, chief of staff of the front army, stood with his head bowed, and his mood was even more uneasy.

When he first received a farewell message from Tashiro Motototoshi Daisa, Major General Tsukada couldn't believe his eyes, and said in a dignified manner that a field wing of the Imperial Army had actually annihilated a single rout corps of [***]! Major General Tsukada almost thought that it was just an April Fool's joke.

However, today is not April Fool's Day!

Tashiro Mototoshi Daisa is a pure imperial samurai, and it is impossible to take military affairs as a child's play!

Just when Major General Tsukada thought that this was already the worst bad news, the worse news came one after another, immediately after the Tashiro United, the Shigeto detachment actually let the Naka[***] team be defeated, and even Shigeto Chiaki himself is missing, since the 918 Ashitsubashi Incident, the Imperial Army has never suffered such a heavy blow!

But today, the Tashiro Wing and the Shigeto Detachment have set an extremely bad precedent!

One of the most elite field wings, a mixed detachment of brigades and regiments, was actually annihilated one after another, so what is the national prestige of this empire? Where is the military prestige of this imperial army?

Once this news is transmitted back to the base camp, His Excellency Matsui is afraid that he will inevitably be reprimanded by His Royal Highness Zairen again!

The most odious thing is still those Western media, I am afraid that they will attack the prestige of the Imperial Army again, especially the public opinion media of the Red Soviet Union, which will inevitably be cynical again.

"Which branch did this?" Matsui Shigen suddenly asked coldly.

Tsukada hurriedly closed his feet and said: "Your Excellency, it is the Baoshan Regiment that completely annihilated the Tashiro Wing and defeated the Shigedo detachment!" ”

"Baoshan group?" Matsui Shigen said coldly, "Baoshan group, it's this Baoshan group again!" ”
