Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1340 What Good News Is This (First Update!)

The super high class is responsible for bearing the rank of major general.

Usually when I go down there, those lieutenant generals and regimental heads are all obsequious to themselves, afraid of offending themselves.

But at this moment, he was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down, and he didn't dare to move even though Okamura Neiji's spitting stars sprayed on him.

"Tell me the truth, has the intelligence department figured out how big the Eighth Route Army is!" After cursing, Okamura Neiji forcibly suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and asked his subordinates.

The person in charge of the special high-level class lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before answering: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the intelligence, the main forces of the North China Eighth Route Army's bases must exceed 5 people!"

"In addition to the main force, these base areas have also formed local troops and guerrillas with at least 50 people!"

"As long as the battlefield requires, these troops can become the main force at any time!"

"As for their artillery units, they are not much different from their introduction on the parade ground!"

"The larger base areas use the captured imperial army's mountain artillery to form independent mountain artillery battalions, field artillery battalions, and even mountain artillery regiments!"

"Smaller base areas have also formed independent mountain artillery companies, field artillery companies, and at least one mortar company!"

"The best equipped are the Eighth Route Army in Southwest Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei!"

"Especially the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which is active in southwestern Shanxi, has already surpassed one regiment in terms of strength. Many units of the Chinese army are no match for one regiment!"

"In the Xinyi Regiment, mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery have been equipped in large quantities! There are even several independent field artillery battalions and a heavy artillery battalion!"

"In addition to being equipped with a lot of artillery captured by the imperial army in the Jinchaji base area, their own arsenal also produced a lot of large-caliber mortars and small-caliber mortars to equip troops!"

"It has reached the standard for each brigade to be equipped with a 120mm caliber medium mortar battery."

"This kind of mortar is very powerful, don't blow up a large area at once on the field battlefield!"

"Because of the large amount of charge, it also has a great destructive effect on fortifications!"

"As long as it hits the target, except for the permanent fortifications made of reinforced concrete, other fortifications may be directly destroyed!"

Okamura Ningji kept his face sullen the whole time, and finally couldn't help cursing.

"enough!"

"Since this morning, all I have heard is bad news~ Isn't there any good news?"

"According to this situation, if we continue to develop, we will simply give up North China to the Eighth Route Army. What else is there to fight!"

"Losing a large number of soldiers of the imperial army, it doesn't matter if you don't get anything in the end, the enemy is getting stronger and stronger!"

The chief of staff, who had not spoken all this time, said, "Your Excellency, I have good news for you!"

"The imperial army from Taiyuan to reinforce SJZ has successfully passed through Yangquan!"

"The Eighth Route Army attacking Yangquan lost to the Imperial Army, and has been defeated across the board. Yangquan is back in the hands of the Imperial Army!"

"The only regret is that the Eighth Route Army snatched away a large amount of supplies hoarded by the Imperial Army in Yangquan, and burned the ones that were not snatched to ashes!"

"The SJZ garrison just sent some good news!"

"The Eighth Route Army attacking them has stopped!"

"They must have received the news that our reinforcements are about to reach SJZ. They are afraid that they will be surrounded by our reinforcements. Seeing the situation is not good, they are ready to slip away!"

Neiji Okamura's face finally looked a lot better, staring at the chief of staff and continuing to ask.

"Where are the mopping-up troops attacking the Eighth Route Army's base?"

"Have they withdrawn safely? If they withdraw, go directly to SJZ and block all the roads around SJZ where the Eighth Route Army can retreat!"

"I want to wipe out those Eighth Route Army!"

"They show their strength through exercises and demonstrate to us. Then we will kill their troops outside the city of SJZ and respond to them with a big victory!"

The smile on the chief of staff's face disappeared in an instant.

Okamura Ningji's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition appeared in his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, the chief of staff replied: "There are four encirclement and suppression troops in total, and all of them are still in the base of the Eighth Route Army and have not come out!"

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. Not to mention sending troops to stop and harass the imperial army along the way, they also destroyed all the necessary roads for the imperial army to retreat, and laid a lot of landmines!"

"Even if the four-way encirclement and suppression force has aviation reinforcements, it will only retreat ten kilometers a day~"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army seems to be planning to eat up our Fourth Route encirclement and suppression troops~"

"The troops seem to be endlessly fighting, and they are constantly rushing towards our encirclement and suppression troops!"

"One of the encirclement and suppression troops has been reduced from one brigade to two infantry brigades!"

"The losses of the other three raiding troops are also very large, and there must be more than half of the casualties!"

Neiji Okamura is angry, but this time the target of his anger is not the person in charge of the special high school, but the chief of staff.

Staring at the chief of staff, he cursed: "Baga! What good news is this!"

"Tell me, how many Eighth Route armies have been wiped out by the imperial army so far in this battle!"

The chief of staff replied hesitantly: "Those killed by the reinforcements and those killed by the sweeping troops after they entered their base areas, the total number must be tens of thousands by the Eighth Route Army!
Neiji Okamura continued to scold: "Then tell me, how many troops did the imperial army lose in total!"

"According to the casualties and battle reports reported by various ministries to the headquarters, the casualties of the imperial army have exceeded 1!" the chief of staff replied.

As soon as the words came out, he froze.

The imperial army lost even more troops than the Eighth Route Army.

You must know that in North China, excluding the Imperial Association Army, the total strength of the Imperial Army is less than half of the Eighth Route Army. Even if the casualty ratio is one to one on the battlefield, the entire North China Front Army is not enough to consume the Eighth Route Army.

But right now, the Imperial Army suffered more casualties than the Eighth Route Army, obviously it cannot be said to be a victory.

Not only was it not a victory, but it was an outright defeat!
The chief of staff stood there with an embarrassed face, originally thinking of alleviating Neiji Okamura's anger.

Unexpectedly, not only did it not alleviate the effect, but it made him more angry~

"Pass me the order!" After a long time, Neiji Okamura ordered suddenly.

"The reinforcements from Yangquan have already marched towards SJZ in a hurry. Even if the Eighth Route Army attacking SJZ can't kill all of them, I will keep half of them!"

"Chief of staff, go and give orders, if you can't complete the task, you will be engaged in military law!"

Looking at Neiji Okamura who was full of murderous looks in front of him, the chief of staff rushed out without daring to say a word.
