Chapter 38: Reinforcements from Two Brigades

"Huh??"

Hearing this, Yatsuhashi was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" Co-Captain! ”。

"If the brigade commander wants to send reinforcements, it is impossible to send all the Ito Wing to reinforce us."

After a pause, Kazuo Hachihashi continued to whisper, "Captain, Jialin City, as the location of the brigade headquarters, must definitely leave troops to defend it." Otherwise, once Jialin City's forces are empty, the enemy forces around Jialin City will take advantage of the weakness to attack Jialin City. ”

"I don't think it's possible for the Ito Wing to be all of them, but at least one brigade of troops can be sent to reinforce us."

When Sakata Shinjiro heard this, he said with a solemn face: "I hope that reinforcements will arrive in Ping'an County quickly." ”。

"Baga, how can Li Yunlong's troops be so many. The men and horses of a regiment, as far as they know the enemy situation now, the actual strength of the other side is more than a brigade. ”

Kazuo Hachihashi shook his head bitterly, who knows.

"Look at the independent regiment outside the city, this is to wait for the follow-up troops to rush to the city!"

Seeing that Kazuo Yatsuhashi shook his head and didn't speak, Shinjiro Sakata muttered, and then said to Kazuo Hachihashi: "Order the defenders of all cities to be ready for battle." ”。

"Once the Independent Regiment attacks the city, fight back fiercely."

Kazuo Hachihashi said heavily: "Yes, Captain." ”。

At this time, Sakata Shinjiro's urgent call for help had been urgently reported to the brigade chief of staff by the devil communication staff officer of the fourth brigade headquarters.

Jialin City, in the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army.

"Kick kick, kick kick!!"

The sound of hurried footsteps coming from the floor of the brigade headquarters came from the communications room, and the Japanese Fourth Brigade Headquarters Communications Staff Officer Kiyonaka and the male captain hurriedly walked to the brigade headquarters command room and reported to the brigade and regiment chief of staff Kuriyama Seio Osa.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Sakata Wing emergency telegram! Ping'an County is besieged! ”

Kiyonaka Kazuo said with a solemn face to Kuriyama Seio: "In addition, the Sakata Wing said in an emergency telegram that the Kato Brigade and the Sato Brigade of the Wing were eaten by the night attack and ambush of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”。

"The detailed report is all reported to the brigade headquarters in the urgent telegram!!"

After speaking, he handed the urgent telegram in his hand to the brigade chief of staff Kuriyama Sazuo, who was a little embarrassed at this time.

Kuriyama Seio Osa, who came back to his senses, quickly grabbed the telegram and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy and terrible his face became.

"Eight Tooth Road! Eight Grid Tooth Road!! ”

After reading the telegram, Kuriyama Seio Osa was furious and scolded: "What the hell is Shinjiro Sakata eating? ”。

"The strength of a wing actually lost Heyuan County in less than two hours. Also, a whole three brigades of men and horses in one wing lost two brigades at once. ”

After a few seconds of relief, Kuriyama continued to scold: "Waste, it's just a waste. ”。

The communications staff officer Qingzhong and the male captain who reported the situation on the side were shocked when they heard this, and they did not dare to interject.

After Kuriyama scolded Shinjiro Sakata for a full minute, he slowly relieved himself.

"Immediately send someone to invite the brigade commander to come to the command room of the brigade headquarters, quickly."

Kuriyama waved his hand at Kiyo and the male captain, gritting his teeth.

"Hail!!"

Kazuo Kiyonaka hurriedly sent someone to invite the brigade commander, Mijiro Suzuki, to come to the brigade headquarters.

Three minutes later, Mijiro Suzuki, commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army, hurried from a wing far behind the brigade headquarters to the command room of the brigade headquarters.

"Kuriyama-kun, what's the situation?"

As soon as Mijiro Suzuki stepped into the command room of the brigade headquarters, he immediately asked the chief of staff of the brigade, Saio Kuriyama, with a frown.

Kuriyama Seio directly handed the urgent telegram in his hand to Mijiro Suzuki, and said with a solemn face: "Shinjiro Sakata is in a hurry, and the county seat of Heian is surrounded." ”。

"The situation is urgent, Emperor Wu City, and the Tiger Pavilion stronghold have all been lost."

Hearing this, Mijiro Suzuki, who was familiar with the situation in various parts of the map of northwest Jin, immediately answered the phone and frowned: "This is the barrier stronghold on both sides of the north of Ping'an County, once it is lost, Ping'an County will be beaten by the enemy all the way to the city of Ping'an County." ”。

"Now it has been brought down by Li Yunlong's troops of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment!"

Kuriyama Seio said in a condensed voice: "It's just that for the time being, the other party only has about 1,000 people outside the north gate of Ping'an County, and its follow-up troops have not yet arrived under Ping'an County." ”。

"But it is estimated that at about 8:20 minutes, the main force of Li Yunlong's independent regiment will probably all arrive at the city of Ping'an County and completely surround the rest of the Bantian Wing in the city."

Mijiro Suzuki did not answer immediately, but quickly read the urgent telegram handed over by Seio Kuriyama.

It's just that Mijiro Suzuki, who finished reading the emergency telegram, obviously had a little haze in his eyes, and his face was also very gloomy.

"Bang !!"

Sure enough, Kuriyama Sakuo, who was secretly looking at Mijiro Suzuki's expression, was surprised, only to see Mijiro Suzuki slap the telegram in his hand on the table, and then made a loud noise.

"Shinjiro Sakata, this guy who underestimates the enemy. Knowing that the other party was Li Yunlong, the head of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment who had recently become famous in the northwest of Shanxi, this person was not easy to deal with, so he didn't pay attention to it. ”

Mijiro Suzuki's heart ached, and he was speechless: "The imperial army of the two brigades was actually lost by Sakata Shinjiro. ”。

"What a disgrace to the Imperial soldiers!"

On the side, Kuriyama Seio, communications staff officer Kiyo Naka, male captain and other devil officers, staff officers all looked at each other and did not dare to persuade them.

When Mijiro Suzuki eased down a little and his breath was a little weaker, Kuriyama Seio stepped forward and said: "Brigade commander, Shinjiro Sakata urgently sent a telegram requesting reinforcements, and it is initially estimated that the Li Yunlong army besieging Ping'an County will probably exceed five thousand people. ”。

"Now in the city of Ping'an County, the remaining forces of the Bantian Wing have almost been concentrated in the city, but once the enemy's follow-up troops come to the city and surround Ping'an County, I am afraid that the independent regiment may break the city."

After a pause, Kuriyama Seio said in a condensed voice: "Do you want to send troops to reinforce Shinjiro Sakata immediately?" ”。

"There are only two infantry wings in our brigade, and Jialin City needs to be garrisoned, so I can only ask the Ito Wing to send a brigade to reinforce it."

Mijiro Suzuki is not unaware of the combat effectiveness of Li Yunlong's department, but now there is only one infantry wing left in the strength of the Fourth Brigade, plus the troops directly under the brigade, the strength is not very large.

What's more, the key points controlled by the Japanese army around Jialin City need to be garrisoned.

Otherwise, it will definitely not work to send out all the Ito United for reinforcements.

As the chief of staff of the brigade, Kuriyama Seio also knew it, and immediately answered: "Brigade commander, Li Yunlong's department should not be underestimated. ”。

"I'm afraid that the reinforcements of one brigade will not be able to force Li Yunlong's troops to withdraw from the siege, and I think that at least two brigades of reinforcements from Ito United need to be reinforced."
