Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 286: Ten Thousand Troops!
"Yes, Commander!"

Major General Miyano Michiichi nodded, and said without lying: "And the 4th Division is one of the seventeen divisions in the early empire, and its combat effectiveness is still guaranteed.".

"But the soldiers of the Imperial Army of the 4th Division are all from Osaka, and their will to fight is not good enough."

Shinozuka Yoshinan knew the virtues of the merchant division of the 4th Division, so he couldn't help complaining secretly, and then reminded Miyano Michiichi.

"Commander, of course I know."

How could Miyano Michiichi not know the virtues of the soldiers of the 4th Division? If he knew that they were going north to reinforce Datongcheng, and rescued from the Independent Regiment and 28th Regiment, the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army that raided Datongcheng, they might not be able to patrol. before.

However, Miyano Michiichi then paid attention and suggested to Shinozuka Yoshinan: "Commander, at least the closest to the Datongcheng, the imperial army that can quickly maneuver to reinforce the defenders of the Datongcheng is located in Huaiyang. The 4th division of the city."

"Although those guys in the 4th Division don't have the will to fight, but their combat effectiveness is still good. Moreover, it is fast to go north along the railway line for reinforcements. In addition, when the order was given to the 4th Division, it was said to go north to reinforce Datongcheng The defenders, and the enemy attacking the Datongcheng are just some stragglers of the Eighth Route Army. This way, those guys in the 4th Division will not feel that it is a tough battle and difficult to fight."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan's eyes lit up, this is actually a way.

The 4th Division is a Type A division, and its combat effectiveness is guaranteed, but its fighting will is really rubbish.

Although Yoshino Shinozuka thought that he could force the 4th Division to send troops to the north for reinforcements, but if these guys knew that it was the enemy's elite troops that raided the Big Copper City, those guys would really hesitate to move forward for the sake of their lives. , the situation of refusing to continue going north appeared.

After all, the 4th Division, this is the previous operation of the Osaka Division, it is not that it has not appeared before.

After thinking about it, Miyano Michiichi's method will allow those guys from the 4th Division to go north to reinforce the defenders of the Great Copper City.

At least, trick them out to reinforce the defenders of the Great Copper City first.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshinan immediately said to Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer standing beside him: "Immediately send a report to the 4th Division and ask them to send [-] troops to the north to reinforce the defenders of Datongcheng.".

"Just follow what the chief of staff said just now, polish it up, and order the 4th Division to immediately send troops north to rescue the defenders of Datongcheng."

Hearing this, Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters, nodded heavily and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander, I understand the humble position.".

Immediately, Kitamura Junyi immediately turned around and returned to the communication office, and asked someone to send a telegram to order the 4th Division to send troops north to reinforce the defenders of Datongcheng.

When Kitamura Junyi walked away, Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the huge map, and then focused his eyes on the battle on the south river in the northwest of Shanxi, and said to Chief of Staff Miyano Michiichi: "Miyano-kun, it seems that the next I am afraid that the war will last for a long time."

"Yes, Commander!"

Miyano Michiichi also nodded, and said: "Takeshita Taro has already lost an infantry brigade in Mingjia Town since the start of the fight.".

"Xu Rui is indeed not to be underestimated! Right now, according to the previous information, the air strike on the north bank of the Nanliu River will start after two o'clock. At that time, the 41st Division Artillery Wing and the 2nd Under the coordinated bombardment of the artillery of the brigade and the 16th brigade, Takeshita Taro's first wave of attacking across the river with [-] iron assault boats will begin."

"As long as the river is successfully crossed and the area on the north bank of the Nanliu River is reached, Taro Takeshita will follow the command of the headquarters and use the steamroller tactics to attack steadily and advance northward step by step."

Yoshino Shinozuka nodded, and said: "As long as we hit the city of Jinghai County, it means that our steamroller tactics can effectively deal with the enemy's devious interception and killing tactics."

"The commander said so!"

Michi Miyano nodded, now the next step is to see Taro Takeshita's crossing attack.

Four or five minutes later, in Huaiyang City, which is about a three-hour drive from Datongcheng, an important town in northern Shanxi, to the south of the railway line.

In the Division Headquarters of the Devil's 4th Division, Lieutenant General Akatsuka Taro, the commander of the 4th Division, looked at the telegram from the headquarters that the communications staff officer, Major Kawaguchi Kusakuta, brought over, and then looked at Kawaguchi Kusakusa in disbelief again. Asked: "Is it really an order telegram from the headquarters?".

"Yes, division commander!"

Kawaguchi Kusakashi, the communication staff officer of the 4th Division, nodded affirmatively.

At this time, Major General Nobuo Abe, chief of staff of the 4th Division, interjected, "What's wrong, Division Chief?".

"Look, the order to send troops from the headquarters!"

With that said, Taro Akatsuka handed the telegram from the headquarters in his hand to Major General Nobuo Abe, Chief of Staff, and said.

"Datongcheng was attacked by some stragglers from the Eighth Route Army. At present, Datongcheng is in critical condition. I ordered my 4th Division to send [-] troops to the north to reinforce the defenders of Datongcheng, and to garrison Datongcheng along the way."

Major General Nobuo Abe looked at the telegram and read it out.

"Master, are you sending troops?"

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Nobuo Abe said happily: "According to the order of the headquarters to send troops, Datongcheng was attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops, but it sounds like it is not some powerful troops attacking Datongcheng.".

"Then if we send troops, according to the instructions of the headquarters, we can garrison the Datong City by the way. You know, the Datong City is a rich city!"

"If those guys under the division know about it, they will definitely send troops actively, and they can't use the excuse of being sick to stay still!"

Akatsuka Taro, the head of the 4th Division, felt that the order from the headquarters was very strange, and he always felt that something was wrong.

However, according to the call from the headquarters, although there are many Eighth Route Army troops attacking Datongcheng, they are all troops with poor combat effectiveness.

But now there are only more than 3000 garrison troops in the Great Copper City, and it is difficult to fight with two fists. It seems reasonable for the headquarters to order them to send troops to the nearest north to reinforce the Imperial Army defenders in the Great Copper City.

After thinking for a while, Akatsuka Taro said: "Then transfer the 36th Brigade and a reinforced infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the 39th Brigade from the division. A total of 1 people will leave the city immediately and go north along the railway line to reinforce the Datong City Guards. military.".

"Let the head of the 36th brigade command this force to go north to reinforce the defenders of the Great Copper City, and execute the order!"

Seeing this, the chief of staff of the 4th Division, Major General Nobuo Abe, waved his hand to the communications staff officer, Major Kusakuku Kawaguchi, and said: "According to the command of the division commander, send a report to the defenders of Datongcheng and ask them to resist. Our 4th Division will Send [-] troops to the north for reinforcements!".

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

Hekou paused heavily, then turned around and returned to the communication room of the Division Headquarters to send a notification to the devil's garrison in Datong City.

At this time, the battle at Nanliujiang in the northwest of Shanxi had almost begun.

Nanliu River, North Shore area.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Shells from the Artillery Regiment of the Devil's 41st Division behind a certain mountain on the south bank of the Nanliu River roared and smashed into the area on the north bank of the Nanliu River and exploded.

The smoke and dust from the explosion shot straight into the sky in the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly.

Some shells fell into the Nanliu River from time to time, exploding water columns that soared into the sky, which looked very spectacular.
