Bright Sword Military System

Okamura Ningji was shocked when he heard the news of the fall of Datong.

Not long ago, he was still proud of how he had transferred two battalions of the Kwantung Army to Datong.

He thought that there would be no mistakes in Datong now, and the Kwantung Army of the two brigades were transferred to Datong... Even the Eighth Route Army could not shake Datong.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if you can fight, you will have to pay a heavy price. At that time, even if the Eighth Route Army takes down Datong, it will not make much sense, because if they can't hold it, they will be surrounded and wiped out by the reinforcements that arrive later and take Datong. return.

did not expect……

Waking up, to be exact, not waking up, but being woken up by the staff.

Before dawn, there was an urgent knock on the door from the staff officer: "Your Excellency, the military situation is urgent! Datong has fallen!"

Neiji Okamura was about to reprimand him, but he swallowed the words he was going to say when he heard the words "Datong fell".

This is indeed an "emergency military situation" that is qualified to wake him up.

but……

Neiji Okamura sat up from the bed in a jerk. After a few seconds, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He opened the door barefoot and asked, "Datong fell? Did you make a mistake!"

"Your Excellency, General!" the staff officer handed the telegram to Neiji Okamura with a look of fear, and said, "This is a telegram from the North China Security Force!"

Neiji Okamura took the telegram and saw it, and his eyes widened in surprise: "What? The Kwantung Army of the two brigades has been wiped out? They, how did they do it?"

These things were actually mentioned in the telegram, but they were sent in several parts. Neiji Okamura was so anxious that he didn't even bother to read it.

"Yes, a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army!" The staff officer replied: "The Eighth Route Army captured the trains and armored trains of the gendarmerie brigade. They took the trains and armored trains into the city, and then suddenly launched an attack on the Kwantung Army..."

Neiji Okamura was speechless for a while, and secretly thought, Omori Hirono, if you don't have the skills, can you just stay in the city and stay still?Going out of the city to fight instead gave the Eighth Route Army a chance to sneak attack and let them transport troops into the city by train!
"Where's Omori Hirono!" Neiji Okamura asked angrily.

If Omori Hirono came back alive, he would probably be skinned alive by Neiji Okamura.

The staff officer replied: "I'm not sure about the situation, it should... be killed in battle!"

This time Okamura Ningji had no place to vent his anger, he just scolded "bastard", then hurried back to the house, put on his military uniform and boots, and rushed to the headquarters.

The headquarters is in a mess, because Datong was taken by the Eighth Route Army, all the trains transported to Shanxi or passing through Shanxi to the front line will be diverted. Without supplies, the entire battle plan had to be changed.

"Your Excellency, General!" Kono Shinta saw Neiji Okamura come in and asked, "Do you want to send air force support?"

Neiji Okamura understood what Kono Shinta meant.

Although Datong has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army and cannot be changed temporarily, Datong Airport cannot fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, especially the aviation fuel and ammunition of Datong Airport.

Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army will be able to use Datong Airport immediately and control the air supremacy over Datong.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the Eighth Route Army should send an air force to blow up the warehouse at Datong Airport when the Eighth Route Army has a weak foothold.

but……

Neiji Okamura shook his head: "No, the Eighth Route Army must have made preparations, and only then sent the air force to bomb. I'm afraid it's too late!"

Kono Shinta nodded slightly.

When they received the information that Datong had fallen, the battle had ended for about 10 minutes.

Kono really couldn't imagine that in Datong, where 6000 people were stationed, although 2000 people were dispersed outside the city, there were also 4000 people in the city, and [-] of them were elite Kwantung Army. How could there be no time to report.

This is actually the role played by the monk's reconnaissance company.

Contacting the superiors and reporting the situation at any time is the business of the gendarmerie headquarters.

But before the gendarmerie headquarters knew what happened, the whole building collapsed with a "boom", so there was no time to report it!

The Devils Kwantung Army did not form a unified command at all, and their superiors were not even the North China Front Army, so of course it was impossible to report.

The only one who had time to report was Ning Jie's 23rd Regiment.

But Ning Jie didn't even know that the headquarters had been taken over. His superior was the headquarters of the gendarmerie, so he contacted the headquarters over and over again on the radio and phone.

If they couldn't get in touch, they sent out communications soldiers to see if there was any headquarters, it was just a piece of broken tiles and bricks.

When they reacted, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had arrived with tanks, so they had to retreat in a hurry, and fled for a while after withdrawing from the city before setting up a radio station to report the situation.

After learning about this, Okamura Ningji couldn't help saying strangely: "Omori Hirono's troops were completely wiped out, and the Kwantung Army of the two brigades were completely wiped out. Why did Ning Jie's troops retreat completely? The Eighth Route Army didn't even encircle them." Don't pursue?"

This is where Wang Xuexin is clever. He has always known that the devils do not believe in the puppet army.

This is a normal situation. After all, the puppet army is also Chinese. In the previous wars, it was not uncommon for the puppet army to surrender on a large scale. Therefore, the devils always let devil officers be placed in the puppet army to control their command.

The Puppet North China Front Army is no exception, and there are many devil officers among them. Even Ning Jie, the regiment leader, has a devil captain as his staff.

It's just that this ghost captain is also a gendarme. He has no experience in regular warfare, and he didn't know what to do after the war broke out, so he never intervened.

Kono Shinta didn't answer Okamura Ningji's question because he didn't know the answer either.

Neiji Okamura thought for a while and ordered: "Contact the staff officer of the 23rd Regiment and ask him to make a detailed report!"

"Yes!"

At this time, a communication soldier reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Sakamoto of the Air Force is calling!"

Neiji Okamura took the telegram and saw that it was a telegram from Lieutenant Sakamoto inviting him to fight.

Neiji Okamura thought that Lieutenant Sakamoto and his dozen or so pilots could evade the X2 of the Eighth Route Army, and maybe they could bomb the warehouse at Datong Airport, so he agreed to Lieutenant Sakamoto's request.

As a result, needless to say, Devil Air Force was given a severe lesson, and even Sakamoto was beaten into a disability in this battle.

At this moment another telegram arrived.

The telegram was sent by Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in charge of the intelligence network in Shanxi, so he was very well informed.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up in front of Ningji Okamura and said, "Your Excellency, I have received information that Ning Jie, the head of the 23rd Regiment, has secretly reached a consensus with the Eighth Route Army..."

Neiji Okamura opened his mouth suddenly, nodded slightly and said: "I see!"
