Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 864 The devil wants to run (third update!)
Major General Kawaguchi, head of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters in Xiangfen County, was very happy.

Just half an hour ago, the troops attacking the three battalions of the New First Regiment successively sent good news. They successfully broke through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and entered the Eighth Route Army's base area.

Because of the loss of an infantry brigade, Major General Kawaguchi was not in a good mood at all.

The arrival of the three good news immediately wiped away his bad mood, and regained his confidence in defeating the new group!
The brigade leader's mood improved, and the chief of staff's tense heart also relaxed.

Seeing the new telegrams from the three captains, as soon as they rushed to the head of the brigade, they excitedly reported: "General, the three captains sent another telegram, and the remaining Eighth Route Army on the battlefield was almost defeated in one blow. Book a battle plan, attack the garrisons of the three main battalions of the Xinyi Regiment, destroy their garrisons, and destroy their foundations!"

"Yoxi, the three brigades played well!" Major General Kawaguchi was very satisfied with the result.

After hesitating for a while, he ordered: "Give them a telegram and tell them to fight steadily and not go deep alone. Although the Xinyi Regiment doesn't have many troops, they are too cunning. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention they are all Well-equipped and powerful Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi……"

Less than 10 minutes later, when Major General Kawaguchi was still immersed in the dream of killing the Shinichi regiment, the chief of staff came back with a hurried look.The excited expression on his face was gone, replaced by a look of solemnity and worry!
"General, half an hour ago was the routine contact time we agreed with the cavalry brigade. However, no matter how we called on the radio, they didn't respond... The communications staff felt strange, so they contacted the aviation army to check the route that the cavalry brigade must pass. Searched, but half an hour passed and the aviation found nothing!"

"Which section of road are they searching for!" Major General Kawaguchi frowned and asked while staring at the map.

"This section is a total of [-] kilometers. The cavalry brigade can climb here even if they climb. After all, they camped here last night. It is less than ten kilometers away from the section searched by the aviation army. It can be reached in two hours by a quick march. And from dawn Up to now, almost five hours have passed!"

"Something must have happened!" Thinking of the infantry brigade that was ambushed and wiped out just this morning, Major General Kawaguchi suddenly had a very bad premonition in his mind.

Then he stared at the map and ordered: "Contact the aviation force and expand the search area, especially the station of the cavalry brigade last night, we must focus on the search!"

The chief of staff reacted immediately: "General, you are worried that something happened to the cavalry brigade last night!"

"Very likely!" Major General Kawaguchi said with a serious face.

"From last night to now, the cavalry brigade has not sent a telegram, don't you find it strange?"

"It's also my fault. There are too many troops participating in this siege, and I have been worrying about the third brigade being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army all morning. I have ignored the cavalry brigade! Send a telegram now and find out the cavalry as soon as possible. The situation of the brigade!"

"Also, once again remind the three brigades that entered the Eighth Route Army's base area, they must fight steadily and not go deep alone..."

"If something happens to the cavalry brigade, then there must be other Eighth Route Army troops in Linfen that we don't know about. The three infantry brigades split into the Eighth Route Army base area. If these mysterious troops are targeted, they can kill us quietly. A cavalry brigade can kill our infantry brigade..."

This time the chief of staff went for nearly half an hour before returning, and he rushed directly into the war room.

"General, something happened to the cavalry brigade, it was at their station last night!"

"The air force found a large number of corpses of the imperial army here. I have sent scouts to check it out. There should be specific news coming back soon!"

Major General Kawaguchi frowned directly into a big "Chuan", and the chief of staff gave an order as soon as he finished speaking.

"We can't wait for specific news!"

"The cavalry brigade must have been attacked last night and then completely wiped out. Now that so much time has passed, no one knows where the Eighth Route Army that attacked our cavalry brigade is hiding?"

"If I'm not wrong, they must be hiding in the only way of our three infantry brigades, waiting for them to kill them, and then kill at least one of our infantry brigades."

"You know, after several days of bloody battles, each infantry brigade has lost at least one squadron. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely not as good as our cavalry brigade and two reinforced squadrons!"

The chief of staff hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"End this encirclement and suppression campaign, the reinforcements of the new regiment have arrived, if we continue to fight, we will lose more troops!"

"Order the three infantry brigades that have entered the Eighth Route Army's base area to retreat quickly and directly withdraw to their own line of defense!"

The chief of staff immediately asked: "What about the second battalion that is heading towards the first battalion of the Xinyi Regiment? They are only one day away from their target, and it will take longer to retreat to Xiangfen County."

Major General Kawaguchi hesitated for a few seconds before ordering: "Go on, join the Fifth Battalion, and withdraw directly to Linfen City!"

"Your Excellency, in this case, we only have more than 1000 people here. The real imperial army does not even have 1000 people, and half of them are wounded soldiers and technical arms. Is it too dangerous... You know, the Eighth Route Army can fight at once." If we win Xiangfen County, we will definitely be able to win Xiangfen County for the second time!"

"Now that their reinforcements are here, and you are in the city again, brigade commander, Xiangfen County is a big fat piece of meat for them!"

Major General Kawaguchi, who had never considered his own safety, was shocked at first, and then beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had just been promoted to major general and became the commander of the mixed brigade on his own.According to this development process, the future is definitely bright. If he really died here, it would be too bad. Major General Kawaguchi would not be reconciled anyway.

Immediately made a decision: "Recall the order just now, let the second largest team retreat to Xiangfen County. After all the troops are safe, Xiangfen County will leave a garrison brigade, and the rest will follow me back to Linfen!"

"Finally, contact the three nearby counties and ask them to withdraw all the three mobile troops sent out of the city."

"Our infantry brigade and cavalry brigade are no match for their reinforcements, let alone the mobile troops composed of garrison troops!"

After giving orders to several main battalions, Wang Ping stared at the battle map, wondering if there was any opportunity he could grasp to kill the devils as much as possible and weaken the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen.

At this moment, the communications staff officer and Jin Kai walked in at the same time, with very ugly expressions on their faces.

"Captain, you guessed it right, the little devil has become alert to our actions."

"The three infantry brigades that entered our base area suddenly turned around and retreated just now. Fortunately, we gave the three battalions an order to stop them in advance, so we didn't let those devils withdraw from the base area..."

The most worrying thing still happened. In order to take the supplies and ammunition of Linfen Railway Station, even though this order must have caused heavy casualties to the three battalions, he still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Give the three battalion commanders an order to let them Be sure to carry out the order, no matter how much you pay, these little devils must be dragged until tomorrow morning!"
