Bright sword!I am the head of Shanxi Northwest Wolf Warriors

Chapter 136
The captain of the Matsui Regiment said: "This time, our Imperial Japanese Army has suffered extremely heavy losses. If we just fled back to Qi County in such a despondent manner and let the Eighth Route Army escape, what awaits us will be the strict military laws of the Empire. Most likely will be court-martialed.

I also think that we should report the battle situation here to the First Commander and ask the First Commander to send more troops to support. As long as we can wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the Yuliang Mountains, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi should be gone.

At that time, not only will we not have any mistakes, but we will also become the real heroes of the empire. At that time, we will be recorded in the history of the empire. "

The three captains of the Cangtian Brigade were also lost in thought. They knew that Captain Matsui had not lied. They really chose to retreat at this time, but they could not justify themselves in the end, and they might go to a court-martial.

At this time, they didn't dare to continue to threaten to retreat, and they all looked at the head of Cangtian Haoyi's brigade, wanting to wait for the head of Cangtian Haoyi's brigade to make a final statement.

Koichi Aotian pondered for a long time, and struggled in his heart for a long time.

"Gentlemen! There are more than 2 main forces of the Eighth Route Army in front of our position. We have confirmed this matter again and again. I also think that it is difficult to wipe out all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army if only four regiments are sent to support. .I will draft a telegram to the First Commander, requesting more support and using special weapons if necessary.

However, when I was drafting the telegram to the First Commander, I hoped that everyone could reach an agreement on certain matters. This time we were met with all-out resistance from the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army dispatched more than [-] regiments with more than [-] people At the same time, three artillery regiments, one air defense regiment, and two flight brigades were mobilized to bombard us.

Faced with such a huge firepower, our imperial army still fought with the Eighth Route Army, and successfully wiped out more than [-] enemies, causing heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army's troops. It was only because of the Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army... the ninth mixed brigade battlefield Surrendering to the enemy has caused extremely heavy losses to the Imperial Japanese Army. I implore the First Commander to send more troops to support, and strive to use the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Yuliang Branch to contribute to the battle. "

The head of Koichi Cangtian looked at the crowd, and said in a flat tone: "Do you have any objections to my report? If you have no objection, I will send a report to the First Commander according to this telegram."

Cangtian Koichi focused his attention on Captain Matsui!The other three captains are his confidantes, and they won't expose false reports of certain victories, but Captain Matsui, as the captain of a Division A division, is not sure whether he can pee in the same pot with them.

Captain Matsui looked at the eyes of several people, and he was also very entangled in his heart. The report of the head of Koichi Cangtian was completely lying about his military achievements.

But he disagreed with such a report, and the people in front of him would definitely not make him feel better. At the same time, he explained the real situation to the empire, and he would also bear the responsibility for improper command, and there was a certain probability that he would be court-martialed.

Captain Matsui lowered his head and said in a calm tone: "I agree to report like this! This telegram can be signed with the names of all of us present. After this matter is done, we must keep it strictly confidential. Once this matter is revealed Then no one can escape."

"Yoshi, Matsui-kun! From now on, you will be my good friend Cangtian."

Cangtian Haoyi brigade leader said: "Although we lied about our military exploits, everything we said is true. The Eighth Route Army does have three artillery regiments and air defense regiments. Their firepower equipment is indeed stronger than ours. At the same time, there are two With the support of a flying continent, these things cannot be faked.

Even if the troops above send people to investigate, we can still make sense of it. As for the absence of the bodies of the Eighth Route Army, this is even easier to explain. It has been three days since they arrived, and the Eighth Route Army has already disposed of the bodies of their soldiers. It's over. "

How many people agree?
A report was sent to Shinozuka Yoshio soon.

……

Shanxi Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from the front!
The other two lieutenant generals came to the headquarters immediately.

Yoshio Shinozuka told the two about the situation of the Yu Liang branch.

Ito Tuoba said: "The Eighth Route Army along Zhengtai Road has taken action! In just over a day, the Eighth Route Army has successively destroyed many of our local bridges, roads and railways, and we have also lost a lot of strongholds.

It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army dispatched at least dozens of regiments this time. The defense of our army in Northwest Shanxi can be said to be the most empty, but the area in Northwest Shanxi has not been attacked by any Eighth Route Army.

Judging from the comprehensive information sent back from the front, I think that the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army should have gathered in the Yuliang branch, and they are fighting positional warfare with our troops.

The Eighth Route Army has three artillery regiments, two flying brigades, and an air defense regiment. The firepower ratio is also superior to our soldiers, and the Eighth Route Army has not been short of ammunition since the start of the war. All the main force should be in the place of Yuliang branch.

I think it is difficult for the four regiments we have sent to completely eat up all the Eighth Route Army in the Yuliang branch. I think we can send four more regiments to support the Yuliang branch and completely eat up all the main forces of the 386 brigade. "

"The four regiments that were withdrawn before are already the only mobile troops we have left. If we continue to deploy troops, our strongholds in Northwest Shanxi should not have any defenses. Even the troops in the county will be pitifully small. Once the Eighth Route Army attacks our army Threads and strongholds launch an attack, and our entire Northwest Shanxi may fall."

Yoshio Yanmatsu said: "I think we should withdraw our troops now and strictly protect all places in Northwest Shanxi, so that the Eighth Route Army has no chance to sneak attack any counties we control in Northwest Shanxi."

Lieutenant General Ito Tuoba is a radical. Having such a good opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army will also be of great benefit to his political career.

But Lieutenant General Yoshio Yansong is a conservative. He can't stay in Northwest Shanxi for long now. As long as there are no problems in Northwest Shanxi during this period, he can safely withdraw to the country.

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is in the Yuliang Branch, and we will send a large force to encircle and suppress the main force of the 386th Brigade!
As long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is wiped out, they will naturally have no power to attack our rear. "

Ito Tuoba said solemnly: "Abandon some unimportant strongholds! Strictly guard the county towns in the northwest of Shanxi, and we will win completely when the frontline battle is over, so I still insist on using troops against the Eighth Route Army of the Yuliang branch."

Shinozuka Yoshio has been silent!

He is also very difficult to choose.

At this time, the troops will be withdrawn, and they will hold the place they control in the northwest of Shanxi, and they will have nothing to do when the battle on Zhengtai Road is over.

Send a large number of troops to wipe out the 386 Brigade, the number one enemy of the entire Shanxi Imperial Army. If he succeeds, his position will be more stable. In the future, his rank will even be able to rise one more level. Once he fails, he will face a huge responsibility.

He was also extremely anxious and anxious in his heart.

Ito Takuba said: "Xiaozuka-kun! As the highest commander of our Shanxi headquarters, now we have disagreements, it's time to come up with your operational opinions.

Do you support my combat opinion on the 386th Brigade, or support Iwamatsu-kun's passive view of avoiding war.

Of course, I want to remind Mr. Xiaozuka that nearly 2 troops have been deployed in our attack on the branch of Yuliang. If we can't get a clear result, the main force of the 386th Brigade cannot be wiped out by us, and our responsibility is also will not be small. "

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Mr. Shinozuka! The results of the battle on the front line are not small, and the main force of the 386 brigade with 1 people has been solved. Although our loss is not small, we have learned about the firepower of the main force of the 386 brigade. Powerful, this is no small credit.

In my personal opinion, it is extremely difficult to completely eliminate the 386th brigade with our local garrison attacking the 386th brigade. Now we avoid confronting the 386th brigade head-on, and wait until the soldiers in front are no longer in a hurry to transfer back one or two A-types Division, by that time it will be easy to eat up the 386 brigade. "

"Yan Song-kun! Isn't your idea too simple? Now we have held back the main force of the 386 brigade, but can the Type A division be able to find the main force of the 386 brigade again? By then, what will the 386 brigade be restored to? Who knows what kind of strength it is."

Ito Tuoba said solemnly: "I think it is absolutely possible to take out eight more regiments to form eight regiments, plus one regiment on the front line, and the strength of more than one division will definitely be able to win the 386 brigade."

Shinozuka Yoshio spoke at this moment.

"The opinions you two said are not unreasonable. Now I am also very embarrassed. Once the eight regiments are mobilized, there will be no more than one squadron in each county in Northwest Shanxi. As for the stronghold All will be given up, and even part of the mine's troops will be drawn.

Now that we have discovered the main force of the Eighth Route Army, if we do not take action against the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we will still suffer the responsibility of the military department. "

Ito Takuba continued to persuade: "Xiaozuka-kun, you are indeed right! Once the troops are deployed, each of our county towns will not have more than one squadron of troops to guard.

But we have the cooperation of the Imperial Association Army in the county, plus the soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire, even if the enemy dispatches two or three regiments, they may not be able to take the county, unless they dispatch a regiment as powerful as the Wolf Warriors.

Now the main force of the entire Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army is in the Yuliang branch. We don’t have to worry about being attacked at the scene. As for other strongholds being damaged, it doesn’t matter much. Without the strength of the Eighth Route Army, and the Jinsui Army is a soft persimmon, Northwest Shanxi will become our stable rear. "

"Ito-kun, I'm afraid you have forgotten one thing! The Eighth Route Army has two powerful special forces. The last time Ping'an County fell, it was these two special forces."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said solemnly: "How many troops were there in Ping'an County last time? I think you should also know that there are only one squadron of imperial soldiers and a part of Imperial Association guards in the county. , the empire will inevitably suffer huge losses.

Really suffered a huge loss, all of us present can not take responsibility at all. "

"Mr. Yansong! You are a bit alarmist. I also know that the Eighth Route Army's special forces are strong, but the biggest reason for the loss of Ping'an County last time was not the strength of the Eighth Route Army's special forces, but the lax defense of Ping'an County."

Ito Tuoba said: "As long as we let the garrison soldiers in each county be strictly guarded! At the same time, we will strictly guard the entry and exit of a county, and we will naturally be able to put an end to the previous incident."

When the two were arguing hard.

Shinozuka Yoshio said in a calm tone: "No more quarrels! I decided to adopt a compromise method, withdrawing three more regiments from Northwest Shanxi and one more regiment from Taiyuan.

Form an encirclement and suppression army with the previous four regiments, and completely wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the entire Yuliang branch. This time, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army will not be held back.

As for the guards of the two squadrons left behind in each county, at the same time, part of the Royal Association Army's assistance will be withdrawn, and some strongholds will be handed over to the Royal Association Army's guards.

When necessary, we can dispatch special forces to bomb the positions of the Eighth Route Army with special weapons. If the Eighth Route Army does not engage in positional warfare with us, our special weapons have no use. "

"I agree with this plan." Ito Tuoba said: "As long as we dispatch special weapons! Even if they have anti-aircraft weapons, they will have no effect, and they will still become lambs to be slaughtered by our imperial soldiers in the end."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Mr. Shinozuka has made a decision! The two of you have reached an agreement, so if I continue to stop it like this, it will have no effect, but I still reserve my opinion. This time the battle plan I disagree.

But I will not hold you back at this time. Although I do not agree with the progress of this plan, I will not stop you. The cadres will report to Commander Neji Gangmura. "

Yoshio Iwamatsu does not have the support of a big family behind him. It can be said that he has put in a hundredfold effort to be able to get into the position of lieutenant general, and at the same time, he has encountered a good time.

Up to this moment, there is no way for him to continue to rise, even if he continues to make meritorious service on the battlefield, he has no chance, unless he makes a truly outstanding contribution.

So he would not agree to such an adventurous plan, let alone join in it himself.

Of course, he can't afford to offend the heirs of the two big families of the empire. At this time, he can only turn a blind eye.

Ito Tuoba said: "It's okay! As long as Iwamatsu-kun doesn't stop our actions, it's fine."

Shinozuka Yoshio also nodded in agreement.

The commanders agreed.

The transfer order naturally went down quickly, and the entire Shanxi headquarters soon became active.

This time when I encircled and suppressed the 386th Brigade, Ito Takuba personally took command and mobilized more than one division for action.
