Chapter 560: Murder and Heartbreaking!
Southeast of Jin, headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Diaphragm
The heads of the headquarters were also anxiously awaiting news of the new ambush unit.
After Li Yunlong ordered to send information to the ambush troops, he sent another one to the headquarters.
So the chief of staff and the boss all knew that the devil's 5th Heavy Artillery Wing would arrive in Datong this morning.
Once the devil's 5th Heavy Artillery Wing arrives in Datong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Boss Chen provided information, and the ambush force of the Eighth Route Army, with more than 7,000 people, set up a pocket formation in Miaoergou, waiting for the devil's heavy artillery wing and infantry wing to get in.
The telegraph soldier of the headquarters hurriedly walked into the headquarters and gave a military salute to the boss and the chief of staff:
"Report to the chief, a new group of good news!" Diaphragm
When the boss and the chief of staff heard the good news, their eyes lit up, and they stood up reluctantly, and the busy combat staff officers also turned to look at the telegraph soldiers.
The boss was about to reach out to receive the telegram, but his hand reached halfway and waved upwards again: "Read!" ”
The telegraph soldier picked up the telegram and read aloud with joy on his face: "The enemy entered our ambush circle at half past six this morning, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, completely annihilated the enemy's 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and 3rd Infantry Wing, destroyed 2 heavy armored trains, blew up 20 enemy cannons and 10 heavy cannons, and the new regiment commander Li Yunlong!" ”
"Good!"
"The new regiment has won the battle again!"
As soon as the words fell, the excited voices of the operational staff officers of the headquarters were heard, and the applause was like thunder.
"Well done!" Diaphragm
The boss slammed his fist on the table with excitement, making a winter sound, and the water glasses, pencils and other items on the table shook together.
The chief of staff crossed his arms, and although he did not speak, it could be seen from the smile on his face that he was extremely happy at this time.
The 1st Division is known as one of the most effective units in the Japanese Army.
The 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing naturally did not suffer from bad combat effectiveness.
But he didn't expect that in Miaoergou, he was completely annihilated by two battalions of the new regiment and three regiments of the independent brigade in half an hour.
It's definitely a big win!
The perfect ambush terrain, the powerful and unmatched firepower of the two battalions of the new regiment, not to mention the 3rd Infantry Wing of the devils, even the personal guards of the locusts came, and they could only end up being completely annihilated. Diaphragm
Although they expected it, when they heard the content of this telegram, the boss and the chief of staff still felt irrepressible excitement in their hearts.
"In order to boost the morale of the military and civilians in the various base areas, I suggest that the whole army be immediately informed of this victory."
An operational staff officer suggested excitedly with an expression and tone.
The boss nodded: "This victory is not only to inform the whole army, but also to send a report to the whole country." ”
Although the momentum of the Eighth Route Army is gaining momentum at present, many new and basic regimental units have been newly expanded recently, and there have even been phenomena of desertion and defection to the enemy among these units.
Although the frontal troops of the Nationalist Army fought very hard, although they barely restrained the offensive of the devils in South China and Central China, there were still many Nationalist troops who were wavering, and they were pessimistic about winning the war and joined the Wang puppet government, which was called the curve to save the country.
When the news of this victory spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar and will greatly stimulate and boost the morale of the military and people throughout the country to resist Japan. Diaphragm
The chief of staff added: "It is possible to send a report to the whole country in clear code, but for the time being, it cannot be explained that the new regiment did it, and the new regiment jumped to the sixth and seventh battalions of the division on the outer line, and it cannot be exposed for the time being." ”
"That's right!" The boss looked at the chief of staff, "Immediately prepare a report for the whole country that the Eighth Route Army will completely annihilate the 1st Division, the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing, and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army in Miaoergou on the Pingsui Railway." ”
The Japanese wing is the same as the division, and the higher the number, the more effective the unit is.
The shadow of the famous tree, the number of the 3rd Infantry Wing, ranked third among the hundreds of wings of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness was naturally very strong.
In addition, the 3rd Infantry Wing also participated in the "226" mutiny, but was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in Miaoergou.
In the process of cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers of the new regiment did not find the wing flag of the 3rd wing, and it was either blown up or burned by the squadron soldiers who protected the wing flag by the devils.
In either case, the loss of the Wing Flag meant that the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army had been completely wiped out. Diaphragm
This is absolutely significant.
The chief of staff smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll prepare a telegram." ”
……
Peiping.
Iron Lion Hutong, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.
The communications staff officer held the telegram in his hand and hurriedly walked into the war hall, only to see Okamura Ninji and Arise Seizo's faces as black as the bottom of the pot.
At first, only the Flag Wind armored train was destroyed, but immediately after the Wind Chasing armored train also lost contact. Diaphragm
Okamura Ninji and Yusue Seizo suddenly felt a bad feeling in their hearts.
However, Okamura Ninji still didn't have too much to worry about, and his face was black because the information of the heavy artillery convoy was leaked.
And there is a black face because he has to pretend to be black, although he is still a little confused, but if he doesn't pretend, he will look very suspicious.
Even if the two armored trains were destroyed, and the 3rd Infantry Wing escorted the whole process, the Tuba Road in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei bandit area would definitely be helpless to carry out the heavy artillery of the 5th Wing in a short period of time.
As long as the reinforcements of the 11th Independent Infantry Wing of the 26th Division stationed in Datong arrived, the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing would be completely safe.
However, seeing the face of the communications staff officer when he walked into the war hall, Okamura Ninji suddenly sighed in his heart.
"Is there news from the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing?" Diaphragm
Okamura Ninji asked in a deep voice.
Since the Chasing Wind also lost contact, the 5th Infantry Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Heavy Artillery have been lost for more than an hour.
Even the brigade radio stations of the various wings could not be contacted, and at present the headquarters had sent two reconnaissance planes to Miaoergou for high-altitude reconnaissance.
"Hey!"
The communication staff officer's face was ugly, and he immediately reported: "The commander of the 11th Independent Infantry Wing of the 26th Division, Sadao Chida Dazuo, reports to the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing... All the jade is shattered! ”
"The 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing are all shattered!?"
"It can't be!" Diaphragm
Okamura's first reaction was not to believe it at all.
The eyes and tone of the commander of the North China Front were not dissatisfied with doubt.
In half an hour, the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing were completely annihilated, how is this possible?
Just the troops in that area of the Eighth Road?
You must know that the 3rd Infantry Wing is the elite of the elite of the Imperial Locust Army, and its combat quality and fighting will are superb, how could it be completely wiped out so quickly?
"Could it be that the telegraph soldier sent the wrong telegram?"
"Or is there an error in the telegram translation?" Diaphragm
Yusue Jingsan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at the communications staff officer and asked in a deep voice.
By now, Seizo Arisue finally understood the truth of the matter, and it must have been the commander who deliberately sent him to receive the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing, so that he could know the departure time of the heavy artillery convoy from Beiping Station.
Then Okamura Ninji secretly arranged a Type 94 armored train and two military trains at a certain station on the way to Datong instead of the real heavy artillery convoy.
In order to test whether he was a spy of the Eighth Route Army, he didn't expect that the fake heavy artillery convoy was not ambushed, but the real heavy artillery convoy was ambushed.
At this time, there were mixed tastes in the heart of Suesezo, and Okamura Ningji's approach made him feel a little chilled.
If the fake heavy artillery convoy was ambushed halfway, then he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the last Jingsan is not stunned, and he will not show his thoughts on his face. Diaphragm
"Hey, I've already used a radio walkie-talkie to confirm with Sadao Chida, and this news is true."
The communications staff officer looked at Seizo Arisue and said, "20 Taisho seven-year 150-mm cannons and 10 nine-zero 240-mm heavy cannons have all been destroyed by the Eighth Way!" ”
"Yaga!"
Hearing this, Okamura Ninji couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and pulled out the general's sword and slashed indiscriminately.
After venting, Okamura Ninji pulled the general's war knife back from the scabbard and glanced at the communications staff officer with an expressionless face.
Communication staff officer Chrysanthemum suddenly tightened, Your Excellency the commander wouldn't still suspect that I had leaked the information of the heavy artillery convoy, right?
He hurriedly lowered his head and then turned around and walked out, looking at the back of the communications staff officer, Okamura Ningji's eyes narrowed slightly, the communications staff officer seemed to be a little weak-hearted? Diaphragm
After a while, the communications staff officer hurriedly walked in with the telegram in his hand, and reported to Okamura Ninji:
"Report to the commander, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has sent a telegram in clear code!"
Okamura Ningji took it and saw that what was written on the telegram was the report of the Eighth Route Army's ambush of the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the 1st Division in Miaoergou.
As for the number of the ambush unit of the Eighth Route Army, it was not mentioned in this telegram.
After reading the telegram, Okamura almost fainted, his chest rose and fell violently, and he angrily tore the telegram to shreds.
Not to mention the 8th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing, the Eighth Route also invented code and telegraph, which is simply murderous.
Now not only the Chinese know about this, but it will also be transmitted to the Kwantung Army headquarters and the Japanese army base camp in advance, and the naval red deer should be ridiculed again, right? Diaphragm
"Command!"
"10th Division, 21st Division, 23rd Division, 25th Division, 35th Division."
"Immediately launch the most ferocious attack on the Northwest Bandit Area of the Eighth Route Jin!"
Okamura Ninji looked at the communications staff officer and gave the battle order with an angry expression.
Without heavy artillery, this battle still has to be fought, and the Eighth Route in the northwest of Jin must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain to Lu Xiang and His Majesty the Locust.
"Hey!"
The communications staff officer paused, turned and left. Diaphragm
……
Principal Chang, who was far away in Shuangqing City, also received a clear-code telegram from the radio station of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters at the first time.
Principal Chang couldn't help but scold the Japanese army for being pigs, and the heavy artillery wing and infantry wing were all wiped out by Tubalu halfway.
In his opinion, it is best for the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army to beat out the dog's brains in the northwest of Shanxi, so that both sides will be defeated, and the national army will reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi is getting stronger and stronger, coupled with the channels of assistance from the outside world, and when the Japanese are defeated one day in the future, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi is definitely a big trouble for the national army.
However, Principal Chang did not dare to say these words to outsiders.
This clear-code telegram of the Eighth Route Army and the annihilation of two Japanese wings this time will definitely tilt the hearts of some people towards the Eighth Route Army. Diaphragm
If Li Yunlong in the northwest of Shanxi Province wins another big victory in this anti-sweeping operation, it will not be good news for the national army.
At this time, the Japanese army, with the 11th Army as the mainstay, sent four divisions and two independent brigades, totaling more than 100,000 people, with the support of more than 100 aircraft and more than 200 ships, divided the troops into two routes and invaded Changsha for the second time.
Therefore, Principal Chang ordered the attendant room to immediately send a telegram to Xue Yue, ordering Xue Yue to also fight a big victory, and to defeat the Japanese with the power of the eight-way victory.
