Mijiro Suzuki did not speak immediately, but walked to a table with a military map in the center of the brigade headquarters command room, and stared at the map with his eyes.

"Jialin City is a full 30 kilometers away from the county seat of Ping'an, and the road conditions are poor, even if there are a large number of trucks that can carry infantry reinforcements, it is very difficult."

Mijiro Suzuki said with a solemn face: "What's more, although our brigade is an independent brigade under the jurisdiction of the First Army of the Imperial Army, there are not many trucks in the whole brigade, and it is impossible to carry reinforcements from a large brigade at once. ”。

"Reinforcements on foot, it takes three hours to march urgently, far away from the water, you can't quench your thirst!"

Kuriyama Seio Osa immediately said: "Brigade commander, if you sit back and watch the rest of the Bantian Wing being eaten by the independent regiment of Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army, this will have too much impact on the imperial army. ”。

"A wing was completely annihilated, especially once the county seat of Ping'an was lost, it would have a huge impact on the situation in the northwest of Shanxi. In any case, the Sakata United team must be reinforced, especially the county seat of Ping'an. ”

Of course Mijiro Suzuki knows, but the distance is a problem.

However, it is of course impossible to sit back and watch the rest of the Bantian United team being eaten by Li Yunlong's department.

"I can only strictly order Sakata Shinjiro to stand by the city and wait for reinforcements, by the way, didn't Yamamoto Kazuki's special team withdraw to Heian County?"

Suddenly, Mijiro Suzuki remembered the Yamamoto secret service and asked.

"Yes!!"

Kuriyama said: "Sakata Shinjiro's urgent telegram also reported the failure of the Yamamoto special team to raid Zhaojiayu, and the Yamamoto special team now has more than forty people, so they can assist Sakata Shinjiro in defending the city. ”。

"Of course, Yamamoto Kazuki needs to pay some price for his failure to raid Zhaojiayu."

For Yamamoto Kazuki, the commander of the imperial special forces who was very arrogant before, Mijiro Suzuki obviously didn't look very cold, and said: "With Yamamoto's special team to help defend the city, it will not be a problem to hold the county seat of Heian for at least three hours." ”。

"The brigade commander, did you draw the troops of the two brigades from the Ito Wing to rush to the aid immediately?"

Kuriyama Seio said in a condensed voice: "According to Sakata Shinjiro's urgent telegram, this time Sakata Shinjiro is also in a hurry. ”。

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the brigade headquarters for reinforcements so urgently."

Mijiro Suzuki looked at the map and pondered for a full minute before finally making up his mind: "Immediately send two infantry brigades from the Ito Wing to the west to reinforce the county seat of Heian County, call back to Shinjiro Sakata, and hold the city for three hours, and the reinforcements will arrive." ”。

"In addition, I requested that the air force of the headquarters send bombers and fighters to reinforce the imperial defenders of Ping'an County from the air."

After hearing this, Kuriyama Seio, who thought about it, said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, if you send a report to the headquarters requesting reinforcements from the aviation fighters, Your Excellency the commander will know about the affairs of Ping'an County. ”。

"This?"

Mijiro Suzuki didn't know where it was, but the Sakata Wing suffered two casualties, and the Wing Department was all led by Li Yunlong to the city, how could Taiyuan City not know about such a big thing?

"The commander will know if he is late, can such a large casualty be hidden?"

Mijiro Suzuki waved his hand and said bitterly, "Follow the order!" ”。

"Yes, Brigade Commander!!!!"

Kuriyama Seio stumbled, no matter what, after the war, Mijiro Suzuki will definitely be punished by the headquarters of the First Army, and I am afraid that even the position of brigade commander will be lost.

However, for now, let's first protect the county seat of Ping'an and the remnants of the Sakata United.

"Hurry up, immediately follow the order of the brigade commander and send a report!"

Kuriyama then waved his hand to the communications staff officer Kiyonaka and the male captain who was on standby.

"Hay, Chief of Staff!"

Qingzhong and Nan immediately paused heavily, and immediately turned around and returned to the communication room of the brigade headquarters, and sent telegrams back to Taiyuan City and Ping'an County respectively.

A few minutes later, Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

At this time, in the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Yoshinan Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the devil, was having breakfast with Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the First Army.

"Miyano-kun, this Chinese breakfast is really rich!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan finished his breakfast and smiled at Michichi Miyano, who was about to finish breakfast.

"China has a long history, rich diet, commander, it's not self-deprecation, the imperial diet is still very weak!"

Michiichi Miyano said.

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan was quite displeased, but the diet of the Japanese country, don't talk about it.

Report !!

Suddenly, a report interrupted Shinozuka Yoshinan's displeasure.

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked up and saw that a staff officer from the headquarters had come to report the situation with a telegram.

"Say it!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and said.

"Hay!"

The staff officer of the headquarters who reported immediately paused heavily, and then launched a telegram report: "Report to the commander, the Fourth Brigade has called that the headquarters of the Sakata Wing under his command was attacked by Li Yunlong's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment in the early morning and night of this morning, and the Kato Brigade of the Imperial Army defending the city was completely annihilated. ”。

"At present, more than 1,000 troops under Li Yunlong's department have come to the north gate of Ping'an County."

After speaking, he handed over the telegram in his hand.

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Silently, I took the telegram and read it.

After reading the whole story for a full minute, he handed the telegram from the Fourth Brigade to Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the First Army.

Major General Miyano Michiichi listened to the report of the staff officer of the headquarters, and his face changed slightly in an instant, and the two brigades were eaten by Li Yunlong's department, at least 2,000 people must have been gnawed off by others.

When this is said, who in Yaga will believe it?

However, after reading the telegram handed over by Yoshinan Shinozuka, Michichi Miyano also looked solemn.

"Commander, I'm afraid the rest of the Sakata Wing is in danger of capsizing."

Major General Michiichi Miyano said worriedly: "Although Mijiro Suzuki has dispatched two brigades to rush to the aid of Ping'an County immediately, three hours is enough time for Li Yunlong's main force to break through Ping'an County. ”。

"Immediately order the aviation unit directly under the headquarters to mobilize five fighters to provide air support to Ping'an County, and assist the rest of the Bantian Wing to hold Ping'an County."

Shinozuka Yoshinan immediately ordered: "In addition, call back Mijiro Suzuki, you must command the troops and give me to defend the county seat." ”。

"In addition, from now on, the headquarters will begin to keep in direct contact with the Bantian United, and the headquarters will know the situation in Ping'an County as soon as possible."

"That's right!"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi: "The Yamamoto special forces have also withdrawn to Heian County, and I telegraphed Sakata Shinjiro to ask him to withdraw Yamamoto Kazuki's special team. ”。
