Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dust Settles
The various units of the Eighth Route Army that received the order showed their magical powers in the Jin Province like eight immortals crossing the sea.
They insisted on causing the greatest damage with the least attrition and casualties, and tossed the devil's various military points into a mess.
Even many troops had a surprise, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy's internal command, they pulled out a lot of flesh thorns that were not easy to deal with before.
This was the third day of the destruction of the hospital.
Far away in Tai Y's First Army Headquarters, a group of high-ranking people cried and mourned as if someone had died in the family.
Completely impatient, Tada Jun had just called and scolded everyone, and he personally appointed an officer to Jin Province to handle the matter with full authority.
Although the dust has not yet settled, they know that this combat mission will most likely end in failure, and they will become a joke in the North China Front.
The Eighth Route Army's response was very effective, and at this time, battle reports from all over the headquarters could be seen everywhere, and a lot of such battle reports would be presented almost every hour.
If it weren't for Shinozuka Yoshio knowing that this was a cover made by the enemy to meet that small force, he would definitely feel that the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province would launch a desperate fight.
Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, no one in the entire conference room had dinner, and no one dared to leave, they were all waiting for news.
At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door to the conference room was rudely pushed open.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned dissatisfiedly, and the sharp-eyed chief of staff of the First Army next to him saw his partner's expression, he knew that the lieutenant general was very dissatisfied and was under a lot of pressure now.
In order to protect his face, the first chief of staff looked at the somewhat reckless staff officer opposite, and he also put on his own gloves as he walked over.
"Smack, smack, smack."
Three big fights in a row were pumped in the face of this eyeless staff officer, and he was lucky to become a punching bag for everyone present.
"What kind of system are you flustered, you are simply disgraced to the Japanese Locust Army!"
After the farcical army tradition just now, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a little better, and he motioned for the staff officer with the intelligence to come forward and report to work.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we have just received a report from Nakasa Miyauchi. Most of the sabotage of the Eighth Route Army retreated into the mountains, and their brigade killed only a small number of enemies and did not capture any prisoners. ”
"He sent a telegram to the staff asking if it was possible to pursue it?"
Hearing that there was such a stupid captain, everyone present showed a constipated expression.
Fighting the Eighth Route Army in the mountains? What kind of genius idea is this? Unless they set fire to the mountain and force them out, they will find themselves uncomfortable.
Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his back molars, and his vicious voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"Is he on his first day in the army? An infantry brigade actually asked me if I wanted to pursue the Eighth Route Army in the mountains? You ask him to see if I look like a mountain division, and if I can't be the captain, I'll go back to my homeland! ”
"Let that rice bucket keep me safe and secure the area, and don't let the guerrillas take advantage of it! Those who call Hanako geese have plucked their feathers! Restore order in the precinct as soon as possible! ”
In order not to let the subordinates in this room see his pig-liver-colored old face, Yoshio Shinozuka turned his back expressionlessly.
Although he messed up one thing, this old devil is quite competent, and even if he gets angry again, he doesn't forget to ask about the loss.
He tried to suppress his anger and asked the first staff officer on the side: "At present, how big are our losses?" ”
"In the area bordering the Eighth Route Army, we have lost nine pillboxes, including two large ones, and it will be difficult for us to reactivate them in a short period of time."
"Two of the stations have been lost, but the buildings have not been damaged, and only need to replenish troops and supplies to restart."
"The casualties are still being counted, but the situation is not very optimistic, and it is conservatively estimated that the casualties this time are around 2,000."
Hearing the report of the First Chief of Staff, Yoshio Shinozuka's face was much better. This loss is much smaller than I imagined, but fortunately, not watermelons and sesame seeds are lost.
"In half an hour, I want to see the specific battle report!"
"Hey!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the first chief of staff hurriedly left the headquarters. The atmosphere here was so oppressive that he couldn't stand it.
"Your Excellency, the various squadrons in charge of the pursuit have been receiving news one after another that the enemy's traces have disappeared."
"They suspect that the small force of the Eighth Route Army has broken through our blockade line, and it is likely that it has successfully joined their large force."
A staff officer with a bad reputation was forced to come in to report the information, and another piece of bad news that hit the heart reached the headquarters.
"Tell all the pursuing troops to withdraw and stay on guard along the way so as not to be ambushed." Yoshio Shinozuka still didn't turn around, he waved his hand to show that he knew.
This is also what he expected, and the opponent's move is an upright plan.
In the face of the various military points that have been attacked, the locust army must support, otherwise the cage policy will be affected.
Without the local defenders to cooperate with the hunt, and the enemy has a receiving force, it is normal for them to run away.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map on the wall, the red arrow representing the enemy on the situation map, as if mocking him silently,
Thinking back to what had happened in the past three days, a deep sense of powerlessness made him feel extremely irritable.
Obviously, the strength and equipment are superior to me, but it is like a punch on cotton, and I am not so disgusting when I fight in WH.
This old devil who hasn't been on the front line for a long time even has the urge to charge with a gun on his shoulders at this moment.
"Everybody out! Get out of here! ”
It is said that in the headquarters of Tai Y City that night, the sound of smashing things has never been heard.
——————————————
As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with Ding Wei's prediction at all. After completing the strategic task, he took advantage of the fact that the enemy-occupied area was still in a chaotic stage, and began to search for it with a battalion of soldiers.
As an old comrade-in-arms who joined the army at the same time, Ding Wei had a full understanding of Li Yunlong and Zheng Yingqi, and the search area he chose included the retreat route of the special service company.
In the end, Dai Yu, who was in charge of pathfinding, found a new group that came to greet him. After making sure that it was not the enemy's disguise, he walked out of the mountain forest generously.
The soldiers of the new regiment raised their guns as soon as they heard the movement, and they were still in enemy-occupied areas, and any disturbance could affect the safety of the troops.
But Ding Wei, who led the team, recognized this elite soldier who belonged to the division headquarters, and he pulled the hygienist next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the movements of the large army and check the status of the other party.
Even Dai Yu, who claims to be an iron man, is tired after a few days of running. After explaining the specific location of the spy company, he fainted before he even had time to drink a sip of water.
After a while, Ding Wei led the soldiers to join the spy company.
At this time, Li Yunlong was like a savage, not only with a scruffy beard, but also with an unpleasant smell all over his body. The mud and smoke on his face could not hide the weakness caused by the lack of nutrients for a long time.
The same was true for everyone else on the team site, but thankfully the presence of the doctors kept everyone on the team site going.
Seeing his old comrades-in-arms coming to pick him up, Li Yunlong tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and at this time he was supported by Ding Wei to drink water.
There are also in the evening
(Not for the time being) dizziness is terrible
