After Yamaoka Shigemu and Shimoto Xiong Ya were taken aback, they both fell into a dilemma, if in normal times, Xiangyue Qingji handed over the command of the garrison in Taiyuan to the two of them, they would definitely be happy to celebrate each other.

But now, the two understand that this is a heavy burden thrown at them.

The two glanced at each other, and Yamaoka said hesitantly: "Xia Yuanjun, since the headquarters of the First Army has already evacuated Taiyuan, it means that Director Xiangyueqing has decided to abandon Taiyuan."

Moreover, now that Taiyuan is surrounded by the Dragon's Tooth Column, we have been resolutely blocked, and we cannot enter the city of Taiyuan, so it is better to give up the battle plan to rescue Taiyuan, and instead the whole army will break through and retreat to the Xinzhou area, what do you think? ”

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi pondered for a while with a heavy face, raised his head and said: "This is feasible, but if we evacuate here, Taiyuan will definitely fall into the hands of the Zhi Na army, if the base camp or the front army headquarters will be held accountable in the future, will we be used as scapegoats?" ”

Yamaoka was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?" We can't just delay it like this, you know, not only do we have interceptions in front, but there are still many pursuers in the back? The Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and the Tuba Road, when they occupy the Jinnan and other places that we have abandoned, will definitely follow the north to chase after them.

If that happens, we're in danger of never recovering. ”

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi thought so, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Shan Gang-kun, I have a way, let's immediately send a telegram to the front army headquarters to request tactical guidance, and throw this problem to Chief Tada Jun, so that no matter whether it is a battle or a withdrawal, the responsibility will not be held accountable for you and me in the future." ”

Yamaoka Chonghou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi, just do it." After saying this, he turned his head to his chief of staff, Ochiai Shikuro, and ordered: "Chief of Staff, you immediately go and send a telegram in the name of me and the commander of the Xia Yuan Division to request urgent tactical guidance from the North China Front Headquarters!" ”

Ochiai Shikuro immediately bowed his head suddenly: "Hai! Then he turned around and took the order to leave.

…………

Beiping City, the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China.

"Your Excellency General, the commanders of the 108th and 109th Master Regiments have jointly sent an urgent telegram requesting urgent tactical guidance on the battle in Taiyuan." Tada Jun and Chief of Staff Mamoru Iizawa were discussing military affairs when a confidential staff officer suddenly walked in with a telegram and reported to the former.

Hearing this, Tada Jun and the chief of staff glanced at each other, and both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes, and the chief of staff, Mamoru Iizawa, opened his mouth and asked, "What is the specific content of the message?" ”

At that moment, the devil's communications staff officer reported to the two of them the situation of the enemy and us in the direction of Taiyuan, including the unauthorized withdrawal and abandonment of Taiyuan by the headquarters of the First Army led by Xiangyue Qingsi, and the obstruction of the attack of the 108th and 109th divisions. ”

After hearing this, Tada Jun's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Yagaya Road, damn it, how dare you give up Taiyuan without permission?" ”

Seeing this, Iizawa Mamoru said thoughtfully: "Your Excellency the general doesn't have to be too angry, Taiyuan was besieged, the reinforcements could not arrive for a long time, and after arriving, they were unable to break through the resistance of the Chinese army. ”

"Baga, then they can't give up Taiyuan, the most important strategic place in Shanxi, who will bear this responsibility now?" Tada Jun was furious and said with a black face.

Iizawa Mamoru said suddenly: "Your Excellency, the generals understand the intention of the joint call from the commanders of the 108th and 109th masters, and they are afraid that they will be responsible for the loss of Taiyuan, so they sent a telegram to the front army headquarters to request urgent tactical guidance.

In this way, no matter what instructions we make, whether Taiyuan is defended or lost, they will not have to bear military responsibility for this in the future. ”

When Tada Jun heard this, he thought about it, it's really like this, this guy almost spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger, Nima, it's just too hateful, Xiangyue Qingji, the commander of the First Army, fled without a fight, and abandoned the important town of Taiyuan without authorization.

It is simply unreasonable that the two division commanders below him should throw this difficult problem to themselves because they are afraid of taking responsibility.

However, anger is anger, Tada Jun understands that it is not yet the time to hold him accountable, and the top priority is to find a way to solve the problem in front of him, so he calmed down, and he asked Iizawa Mamoru said: "Chief of Staff, then what do you think we should do?" ”

Iizawa Mamoru frowned and said: "Your Excellency General, in fact, it is very simple to solve this problem, directly give an order to all the imperial imperial army and the imperial alliance army around Taiyuan, hold on to Taiyuan until the last soldier, and no retreat is allowed without an order, so that the problem will be solved."

It's just that in this way, I am afraid that the remaining combat strength of the First Army will be very small, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the overall strategic situation of the Imperial Army, and as a commander of the front army, this is irresponsible. ”

"Then if we order all the departments of the First Army to stop fighting and abandon Taiyuan, then it is difficult to guarantee that the base camp will not hold us accountable for this in the future, after all, Taiyuan is not a small county town, it is the most important political and military center in the whole of Shanxi, once it is abandoned, the whole of Shanxi will no longer be owned by the imperial army." Tada Jun said with a face full of dissatisfaction.

Norito Iizawa continued: "So, we really don't have a good idea about this matter, and we should quickly report this matter to the army base camp and let them decide to take it." ”

Tada Jun thought about it, sighed and nodded: "That's the only way, but in this way, I'm afraid we will be slandered and incompetent by the people of the Navy Province again." ”

Iizawa Shou ran out of the sun, the army's successive defeats on the China continent have indeed made the status of the War Department in the base camp lower and lower, and the right to speak is becoming less and less, I really don't know what the situation will become if it continues like this.

Therefore, the decision on whether Taiyuan should be fought or abandoned was directly sent by Tada Jun to the base camp in Japan, asking a group of Japanese military bigwigs to decide.

After receiving the news that Shanxi was in danger and Taiyuan was besieged, the Japanese base camp was in an uproar, and the army and the Admiralty began to argue fiercely about it.

In the end, after fierce discussions and debates, the Japanese army base camp still obeyed the construction of the deputy chief of staff, Ishihara Wan'er, and ordered the Japanese troops around Taiyuan to abandon Taiyuan and evacuate to the northwest of Shanxi and other places.

After the order was issued layer by layer, it finally returned to the 108th and 109th Divisions, and Lieutenant General Kumaya Shimoto and Lieutenant General Shigemo Yamaoka could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they received this telegram.

They looked at each other and smiled, and began to deploy the battle plan for retreating and breaking through separately.
