When Han Yang's company rushed into Qixia Town, north of Qixia Town, Chu Yunfei was leading the 358th Regiment through Dawan Village and coming to Qixia Town in full armor.

When they reached Fengsheng Slope, several scouts of the company in the mountain grass were immediately frightened.

They were sent by Han Yang to monitor the 358th Regiment, and now they see that they are really dispatched by the whole army, and they are all pale.

They know very well that now the company is fighting fiercely with the little devils, and they are simply unable to deal with this strong 358 regiment!

The reconnaissance squad leader immediately sent two scouts to bypass the hillside and rush back to Qixia Town.

Soon, the two found Han Yang, who was sitting in the town and commanding the soldiers to clear the remnants of the enemy, capture prisoners, and clean up the battlefield.

When he heard that the whole 358 regiment was coming towards Qixia Town, Han Yang also frowned.

Xindao: Could it be that this 358 regiment is really going to do something as the battalion commander expected?

That's a problem!

While he immediately sent someone to report to Yang Yuanshan, he also sent someone to order Xia Dayi, asking him to gather the militia who had helped them dig trenches before, and all of them went to the wall at the north entrance of the town and waited for them.

……

Just when Qixia Town fell into the hands of the special agent battalion, Nara Masayan, the commander of the 237th Wing who was far away in Xinkou, also saw Sakai Hiroki's farewell telegram.

He smashed all the things on his desk on the spot, and scolded angrily while smashing back:

"Yaga!

This waste, a squadron plus a squad of troops, stationed in a well-fortified town, can't hold out for 12 hours! ”

Yuhei Moriguchi, the chief of staff next to him, said worriedly:

"Your Excellency, the occupation of Qixia Town is certainly infuriating, but it is not a big problem, what I am worried about now is Shimokawa-kun's brigade.

They are now being attacked from both sides of the earth, and I am afraid that the situation is not good. ”

It's okay that he didn't mention Shimokawa Narumiya, but when he mentioned Nara Masayan, he was even more angry.

The interface scolded angrily:

"Yaga!

Shimokawa-kun is also a waste!

The strength of a brigade and the artillery of a squadron, relying on the powerful firepower of the ironclad train, could not quickly destroy the enemy, but were trapped by the earth eight roads, which was simply a shame for my locust army!

Could it be that he has been in Qubei County for a year and a half, and he can't even fight?

Are the cannons, howitzers, and anti-aircraft guns on the ironclad train all decorations? ”

For this, Yuhei Moriguchi can't answer it, no matter whether he helps Shimokawa Nariya or not, it's easy to get into trouble.

He could only change the subject:

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, although Shimokawa-kun is too stupid, we still have to find a way immediately, and we must not let the Shimokawa Brigade be wiped out.

Otherwise, our 237th Wing will become a shame for the division, even the first army, and the dispatch army! ”

Nara Masayan nodded, and immediately decisively said:

"Yes, no matter what, we can't let the Shimokawa Brigade be wiped out!

Immediately sent a telegram to the division headquarters, asking the commander of the Tanabe Division to come forward to General Shinozuka and request that the air force bombers immediately dispatch to bomb the position of the Dohachi Road.

As long as the artillery position of Tubalu is blown up, the waste in Xiachuan should be able to destroy Tubalu, after all, the more than 1,000 locust warriors in his brigade are not vegetarians!

No matter how bad it is, he can break through! ”

"Hey!"

Yuhei Moriguchi nodded in agreement and immediately went to the telecommunications room to send a report.

……

Jinyang City.

The commander of the 41st Division, Tanabe Shengwu, received a telegram from the 237th Wing, and he was also very angry.

But Shimokawa Nariya is the captain of his own command, and he can't see death without help, so he can only take the telegram and run to the headquarters of the First Army to find Kazuo Shinozuka.

Kazuo Shinozuka and Morigo Tanabe are both lieutenant generals, and they still want to give him a little face, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly asked him to sit down and ask about the situation.

Tanabe Shengwu recounted the incident, which made Kazuo Shinozuka frown.

He said in his heart: I've been overwhelmed by the dirt road recently, why are you still here to make trouble for me, do you think my life is too comfortable?

But when the other party came to the door, he couldn't help but give face-

Otherwise, don't blame the other party for disobeying his military orders!

I can only nod and say:

"Tanabe-kun, please wait a moment, I'll bring Hanaya-kun to discuss."

Soon, Junyuki Hanaya came with a staff officer.

After a simple greeting and greeting, Kazuo Shinozuka finished telling Junyuki Hanaya about the matter, and asked him:

"Hanaya-kun, what do you think?"

Hanaya Junyuki couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart: What do I think? I'm sitting and watching!

This gang of rubbish is the bad news of being attacked by Tubalu every day, which makes Lao Tzu's head almost bald!

This position of chief of staff is too difficult to sit in, right?

But in front of the two lieutenant generals in front of him, he still couldn't be presumptuous, thought for a while, and replied:

"I propose to immediately send bombers to bomb the artillery positions of the Dirt Eighth Road.

This ambush on the Tuba Road, for us, certainly caused us to lose an ironclad train, but it also exposed the artillery regiment of the Tuba Road, and perhaps it was our opportunity to eliminate them. ”

"Artillery regiment?

Hanaya-kun, are you saying that this group of eight roads may be their headquarters artillery regiment? ”

Kazuo Shinozuka asked excitedly.

For him, all he thinks about day and night is to take out the Eighth Road Headquarters.

Anything that had anything to do with the Eighth Road Headquarters could make him excited.

"If it weren't for the headquarters artillery regiment, how could there be more than 20 high-powered guns?

And how is it possible to have an anti-tank gun?

Your Excellency, Commander, you must also understand that there are not many countries in the world that have anti-tank guns! ”

"Yo Xi, Hua Gu-kun's words are reasonable."

Kazuo Shinozuka nodded.

But then he wondered:

"But Hua Gujun, if this group of Eighth Roads is their headquarters artillery regiment, then how did they run from the southeast of Jin to the northwest of Jin?"

"I don't know this question.

However, I recently heard a report from the 226th Wing of Heyuan County, Okamura Shiro Osa, that Tubalu was very good at mobilizing the people of China, and in the battle of Heyuan County, they launched a large number of people to carry the spoils of war overnight, and in one night, they almost carried all the materials in Heyuan County!

Maybe it was because they mobilized these Diao people to help them carry artillery that they moved from the southeast of Jin to the northwest of Jin! ”

Junyuki Hanaya voiced his guess.

Hearing this, Kazuo Shinozuka was immediately very angry:

"Yaga!

Diao Min!

They should all be dead, dead, dripping! ”

At this time, Morigo Tanabe, who was next to him, spoke:

"Huagu-kun, if this group of Eighth Roads is really their headquarters artillery regiment, then this time the Eighth Route launched a large-scale sabotage battle in the southern regions of Jindi, Suiyuan, and Rehe, I'm afraid the purpose is not so simple!"

"What Your Excellency the Division Commander said is right, I even suspect that this series of large-scale sabotage attacks is just a tactical cover for their next plot against Jinyang City!"

Junyuki Hanaya nodded.

"Nani?

Plotting Jinyang City?

How bold they are!

Eight grid tooth road! ”

Kazuo Shinozuka's eyes were about to pop out.

He never thought that Tu Balu was so bold.

But he immediately believed it, because he knew that the old opponent with a strong style really dared to do this!

gasped, Kazuo Shinozuka immediately asked Junyuki Hanaya:

"Hanaya-kun, when will the troop transfer you planned before be in place?

If these mobile forces are delayed, we may have difficulty holding the city now!

For example, in this Qubei County, there is now only one brigade left to garrison, and if Tubalu transfers the main force of a brigade to attack the city, I am afraid that there is a risk of falling.

At that time, if we transfer troops from Jinyang City to support, I am afraid that we will just fall into the ambush of the Eighth Road.

And once we don't transfer troops, we can only sit back and watch Qubei County fall, and Tongpu Road will be completely cut off!

The transportation of materials in Jinyang City is interrupted, and the situation is even worse! ”

Kazuo Shinozuka was a little panicked.

Originally, he thought that he was squatting in Jinyang City, and he was as stable as Mount Tai.

But now that I think about it, I actually find that the situation on my side is simply dangerous!

How can this be endured?

Junyuki Hanaya also had a little headache when he heard him ask.

To transfer a cavalry wing from the Mengtun garrison and one or two divisions from the Liaodong Army, of course, such a big thing was not so easy to accomplish.

He had to send telegram after telegram to convince the people involved.

It's not quite done yet.

And even if it is done, it will be thousands of miles away, and these troops will be transferred to Jindi, and it will not be possible to do it in a month or two.

He could only answer Kazuo Shinozuka with a hard head:

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the Inferior Rank is making every effort to mediate, and it is estimated that it will take another 2-3 months for these troops to be in place."

When Kazuo Shinozuka heard that it would take two or three months, he was instantly upset, and said:

"Hua Gu-kun, this matter is the top priority at the moment, please be sure to speed up!"

Hanaya Junyuki was unhappy in his heart, but he could only bow and agree:

"Hey!"

Next to him, Tanabe Shengwu saw that they were talking about something else for a long time, but he didn't say how to save the brigade under him, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Now seeing that they finished speaking, he hurriedly asked:

"Your Excellency Commander, Hanaya-kun, how should the Shimokawa Brigade rescue now?

A large group of locust warriors, I'm afraid you can't give up easily, right? ”

Kazuo Shinozuka didn't speak, only gestured to Junyuki Hanaya with his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Junyuki Hanaya knew that he was frightened by the fact that the Eight Roads might attack Jinyang City just deduced, and immediately said perfunctorily:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I will immediately send a formation of bombers to bomb the artillery positions on the Tuba Road.

Now that Qixia Town has fallen, please order the Xiachuan Brigade to break through to the west with all your might, return to Qubei County, and wait for this wave of offensive on Tuba Road to stop, and then we will send troops to sweep eastward, restore Zhengtai Road, and recover Qixia Town! ”

Hearing this, Tanabe Shengwu was immediately very dissatisfied.

Isn't this special thing just to see death and not save it?

Isn't it just waiting for your own brigade to be wiped out?

He couldn't help but look at Kazuo Shinozuka and try to get the guy to open his mouth to adjust the plan.

However, this guy suddenly closed his eyes slightly, looking very tired.

Tanabe Shengwu suddenly understood that the words of this flower valley child were the attitude of His Excellency the commander.

Although he was angry, he had no choice but to nod and say:

"Okay, I'll send a report to Shimokawa-kun."
