Chapter 898: Burn the Devil's Position into a Sea of Fire!
Peiping.
Iron Lion Hutong, headquarters of the North China Front.
"General."
"The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has invented the code telegraph again."
Communications staff officer Osamu Kitani, holding a telegram in his hand, walked into the war hall quickly, and bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported.
Osamu Kitani's expression and tone were a little hesitant.
Every time the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army or a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army invented a code telegraph, it was not good news for the locusts army.
This time, it was even more difficult for the Japanese army to accept the news.
"What kind of telegram did the Eighth Route Army send again?"
Okamura asked with a frown.
His intuition told him that this clear telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was definitely bad news for the Japanese army, and it was definitely related to the Battle of Zhengtai.
But Okamura Ninji just couldn't suppress his curiosity, he wanted to see what the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army had sent?
"Read!"
Seeing that Osamu Kitani hesitated, Okamura Ninji looked solemn and waved his hand and said.
The deputy chief of staff on the side, Seizo Arisue, also set his eyes on Osamu Kitani, and at the same time pricked up his ears.
Seeing that Okamura Ninji was faintly showing signs of anger, Osamu Kitani looked grim, and read with a telegram:
"The Eighth Route Army launched an active offensive on Zhengtai Road, completely annihilating more than 30,000 people of the Japanese 5th Division, 28th Division, and First Army Headquarters, and killing the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Matsui Taikuro...... Eight generals. ”
After reading the telegram, Osamu Kitani stood with his hands in his hands, looking at his nose and nose and heart.
As a communications staff officer of the North China Front, in fact, it is not a good errand, and whether it is good or bad, he must read the telegram news.
The front was defeated, and almost all the news came by bad telegrams.
He was afraid that one day Okamura Ninji would be angry, and he pulled out the general's sword and cut him down.
But contrary to Osamu Kitani's expectations, Okamura Ninji was not as angry as he imagined when he heard the news.
He quietly looked up, only to see Okamura Ninji's entire expression was surprisingly calm.
This made Osamu Kitani, Seizo Arisue Seizo and the other combat staff officers even more worried.
It would be better if Okamura Ninji vented it, but if he held it back, he was afraid that something would happen.
The next time he was killed by the Eighth Route Army, 30,000 main elites and 8 generals, which command was not angry?
Moreover, there are also the precious Fifth Division of the base camp, the Fifth Division with outstanding military achievements, and the Fifth Division, the main force attacking China and Southeast Asia, which was almost completely wiped out in this battle.
This time.
General Okamura is afraid that there is no way to explain to the base camp and His Majesty the Locust.
It is possible to be ordered to apologize for the crime by disembowelment.
But if Tanabe Moritake was also killed in battle, and if Okamura Ninji committed suicide by disembowelment, the entire North China Front would collapse.
Because it was difficult for the base camp to send the new chief of staff and the new commander of the front army to Beiping.
"Your Excellency, General?"
There was a whisper of the Sue Jingsan.
You can't be stupid, right?
However, there is no end Seizo can also understand that the loss of the main force of the 30,000 locust army and 8 generals at once, and it is also the headquarters of the First Army and the fifth division of the first type, it is normal for General Okamura Ninji to be stupid.
"Yaga, Ya Lu!"
Hearing the voice of Seizo Yusue, Okamura Ninji came back to his senses, brushed out the general's sword, and roared at the knife in front of him.
Yusue Seizo and Osamu Kitani hurriedly stood farther away.
However, the long table in the war hall was made of solid wood, and Okamura Ninji couldn't cut it at all, but instead cut down the military flags representing the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army on the table.
After a while, Okamura Ninji put the general's sword back into its scabbard and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Okamura Ningji's eyes were gloomy, and he really underestimated those mud legs.
Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army not only had to invent the coded telegraph, but also to publish it in newspapers.
Even if Okamura Ninji wanted to hide the battle report from the base camp and the locust, he couldn't hide it.
However, it is only known to the base camp and the high-level of the locust, and the Japanese people at the bottom do not know, and they all think that the locust army has won one battle after another on the front line, kicking the Republic of China, punching the rice army, and occupying Southeast Asia.
"Yoshio Iwamatsu, that stupid pig..."
Okamura Ninji scolded angrily in his heart.
It's a pity that Iwamatsu Yoshio has already died in battle, and if Iwamatsu Yoshio hadn't died in battle, then there would be a backstabber.
By the time the war had been fought, the First Army, from the commander to the soldiers, had basically been wiped out.
And with the annihilation of the First Army, there were also the 5th Division, the 24th Division and the 28th Division.
Although the 41st Division has not yet been completely annihilated, it has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and it is only a matter of time before it is all broken.
"The 1st, 5th and 28th divisions were eaten."
Okamura Ninji's voice is hoarse:
"The 40th Division, the 56th Division, the 23rd Division, the 35th Division, the 110th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the 1st Mixed Brigade must not be eaten by the Eighth Route Army!"
What the North China Front has to do now is to stop losses in a timely manner.
Although these five divisions and these two brigades suffered heavy losses in this battle.
However, at present, Japan has mobilized the whole country, and in addition to the fact that it is difficult to replenish the soldiers of the first division and regiment, the soldiers of the second division can still be replenished.
After resting and replenishing for a period of time, it is still an elite division with strong combat effectiveness.
In the future, the North China Front Army and the Eighth Route Army fought a decisive battle, and Okamura Ningji also hoped that these divisions would be the main force.
After a pause, Okamura Ninji said: "Immediately send a telegram to ask the chief of staff, how is the battle at Niangzi Pass?" ”
"Hey!"
Osamu Kitani bowed his head, turned around and walked away quickly.
It didn't take long for Osamu Kitani to return with a telegram in his hand and report to Okamura Ninji:
"General."
"The chief of staff has just called back that the locust army, which is currently surrounded, occupies more than 20 hilltop positions east of Niangzi Guan, and condescendingly attacked the attacking Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties."
"Under the ferocious attack of the Eighth Route Army, the Locust Army can hold out for a day and a half."
"Your Excellency, please give the order that the 40th, 56th, 21st, and 27th Divisions quickly move closer to our headquarters, and if reinforcements do not arrive within a day and a half, the surrounded locust army will only be shattered..."
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard, the Great Japanese Locust Army is onboard, and the Chief of Staff of the North China Front is Tanabe Moritake."
Okamura Ningji's expression softened, his brows stretched slightly, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that the situation of the main force of the Niangzi Pass surrounded by the locust army is much better than he imagined.
The Eighth Route Army shelled for three or four consecutive days, as well as nearly 200 sorties of aircraft bombing every day.
Tanabe Moritake asked for tactical guidance a dozen times a day, and he thought that the surrounded locust army could no longer withstand it, and it would not last long under the general attack of the Eighth Route Army.
But Okamura didn't expect that the surrounded locust army at Niangzi Pass not only parried, but also inflicted a small heavy blow on the Eighth Route Army.
"Yo Xi!"
Although this news is not so good, it is undoubtedly good news compared to the capture of Taiyuan by the Eighth Route Army, the main force of the First Army and the Fifth Division being completely annihilated on Zhengtai Road, and the killing of eight generals of the Locust Army.
"Immediately urge the 40th, 56th, 21st, and 27th Divisions to speed up and rush to Niangzi Pass."
"Those who delay the fighter will be killed!"
Seeing the hope of rescuing the surrounded Japanese troops in Niangzi Pass, Okamura Ninji was murderous and his tone was fierce.
"Hey."
Osamu Kitani bowed his head suddenly.
……
Northwest of Shanxi.
Dagu Town Airport, Canteen.
It's noon.
In addition to the five pilots who flew five reconnaissance planes to Zhengtai Road to carry out aerial reconnaissance missions.
The rest of the pilots, all had lunch in the cafeteria.
At this time, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was pursuing the 40th Division, and the 21st and 27th Divisions of the Japanese Army were also marching towards Niangzi Pass, and the reconnaissance aircraft was responsible for conveying the movements of the devils to the ground troops.
All jacket pilots uniforms.
The successive victories and the elimination of thousands of devils by the flying team made the pilots look a touch of strong confidence and perseverance.
"Captain."
"Just now, according to the information from the reconnaissance plane, the remnants of the 40th Division arrived in Yangquan this morning, and they have already joined the 56th Division, and they have left Yangquan and are marching along Zhengtai Road in the direction of Niangziguan."
Instructor Wang Hexin took a plate of food and sat opposite Captain Li Shaorong.
The pilots' meals were very rich, with Chinese and Western food, and Wang He's new plate was filled with fragrant rice, turkey, steak and vegetables.
The other pilots also had good chicken, duck and fish on their plates, as well as good apples, pears, tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits.
Even Xing Zhiguo was hungry for the food of the flying brigade, and deliberately moved the headquarters to Dagu Town.
"The devils of the 40th Division and the 56th Division must be going to the troops who oppose the encirclement of us."
said a pilot of a fighter squadron.
"Then we should take off immediately and bomb the 40th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army along Zhengtai Road, the devils marched in formation, and hundreds of aerial bombs and dozens of napalm bombs were dropped, enough for the devils to drink a pot."
Another pilot jumped at the chance.
"Anti-encirclement?"
Captain Li Shaorong smiled, and while eating, he said in a disdainful tone: "Behind the devils, there are still our 60,000 main forces, and whether the 40th Division and the 56th Division can escape from Shanxi is a matter of words." ”
"Yes." Wang Hexin nodded, "Our regiment commander is clever, will he let go of the 40th Division and the 56th Division?" ”
Li Shaorong's expression was solemn: "Comrades, hurry up and eat, maybe there will be a flight combat mission in the afternoon!" ”
At this moment, Xing Zhiguo walked over quickly.
"Salute!" Seeing this, Li Shaorong, Wang Hexin and other pilots stood up and saluted Xing Zhiguo.
Xing Zhiguo raised his hand and returned a military salute, looked at Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin and said: "Captain Li, Instructor Wang, I just received a telegram from the Independent Regiment, the general attack on Niangzi Pass is not going well, your flight team needs to immediately drive planes to carry ammunition to support, all planes carry napalm, and the artillery units on the front line will fire smoke bombs at the hill of the devil's position to mark the enemy and our positions, and the task of your flight brigade is to burn the position occupied by the devils in Niangziguan into a sea of fire. ”
"Yes!"
Li Shaorong replied loudly:
"The flying brigade guarantees to complete the mission and burn the devil's position into a sea of fire!"
