Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 462 Devil reinforcements, a division, the crisis of the Eighth Route Army!

'Enough ammo', that's a big point.

Shinozuka Yoshio certainly knew the meaning, so he asked again: "How long can the ammunition in the major strongholds last?"

Jun Miyano: "The ammunition in each stronghold is different, and the Eighth Route Army that attacked each stronghold last night is also different, so the ammunition consumption of each stronghold last night is not the same."

After a pause, Jun Miyano changed the subject and continued: "If the offensive behind the Eighth Route Army is comparable to last night, the shortest of each stronghold can last for 3 days, and the longest can last for 7 days."

"However, if the Eighth Route Army intensifies its offensive in the future, the persistence time may be shortened, and vice versa."

"3 days? It's enough."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded to express his understanding, while Miyano Jun continued to add: "In addition, I have ordered the Royal Army Air Force to go to the southeast of Shanxi for reconnaissance. I believe that the armor that poses the greatest threat to the Imperial Army will be destroyed soon. train."

When Jun Miyano mentioned the armored train, a look of resentment appeared unconsciously on his face, because this armored train was originally a sharp weapon for the Japanese army to attack fortified positions, but it became a sharp weapon for the Eighth Route Army to attack their major strongholds last night.

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, "It's impossible for the air force to find the armored train."

Miyano Jun: "Your Excellency, Commander, you mean that the Eighth Route Army will destroy the armored train."

"No." Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head: "The Eighth Route Army will hide it!"

Jun Miyano: "Armored trains are different from other vehicles. They can only exist on rails. Under the surveillance of aviation and aviation, the Eighth Route Army cannot hide them at all."

Speaking of this, Jun Miyano suddenly thought of something, his face changed immediately, and he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, you mean that the Eighth Route Army will hide armored trains in tunnels?

If this is the case, it is really difficult to find it out. After all, there are more than 10 tunnels from Yangquan to Niangziguan. "

"In this way, unless we destroy all the tunnels between Yangquan and Niangziguan, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the armored train."

At this time, Kazuki Yamamoto, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly interjected: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, if we just want to remove the threat of armored trains, we don't actually need to destroy them. We just need to blow up a few tunnels or bridges at will." , the armored train has become a goshawk without wings, no matter how powerful it is, it will no longer be able to pose any threat to the imperial army."

Miyano Jun: "What Yamamoto-kun said is very true. I just focused all my attention on the armored train, but I ignored it."

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "Blowing up some tunnels and bridges can certainly make the armored train lose its threat.

But have you ever thought about why the Eighth Route Army has not blown up the tunnels and bridges along the Zhengtai Railway? "

After a pause, before the two could speak, Shinozuka Yoshio asked himself and answered: "The Eighth Route Army's attempt is very obvious, and that is to use armored trains to continue to expand the results of the war.

Once the armored trains are useless, the Eighth Route Army will definitely blow up all the tunnels and bridges on the Zhengtai Railway Line without the imperial army.

Even the rails have to be pried off and taken away! "

Jun Miyano and others did not doubt the words of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, because the Eighth Route Army had really done it, and more than once.

Shinozuka Yoshio went on to say: "The Zhengtai Railway is the lifeline of my 1st Army. I believe you all know its importance without me telling you, so there must be no loss!"

"In other words, not only can we not destroy it, but we must find a way to prevent the Eighth Route Army from destroying it!"

Jun Miyano and others naturally knew the importance of the Zhengtai Railway to the First Army. He said, "Your Excellency, what do you mean to allow the Eighth Route Army to continue to use armored trains to attack the strongholds of the Imperial Army?"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded heavily: "That's right! If we destroy the railway and make it impossible for armored trains to pass, the Eighth Route Army will definitely destroy the entire Zhengtai Railway, especially those tunnels and bridges."

"At that time, even if we can regain control of the Zhengtai Railway, it will be extremely difficult to reopen it in less than a year or so."

"This is unacceptable to me, and even the entire Japanese army in North China!"

Jun Miyano said with some concern: "Your Excellency, but you know the power of armored trains. If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to continue to use armored trains, they can capture Jinzhong from Yangquan overnight, and then Threatening Taiyuan City!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said with a sly smile: "Although we cannot destroy bridges and tunnels, we can make a fuss about ordinary railroad tracks."

Jun Miyano suddenly realized: "Your Excellency, Commander, you are wise! If the imperial army destroys a few more sections of ordinary railroad tracks, it can also hinder the passage of armored trains.

The Eighth Route Army does not have railway soldiers. Although they are good at dismantling railroad tracks, when it comes to laying railroad tracks, hehehe...

In this way, it can not only delay the time, but also prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking the can. "

Jun Miyano's face, which had been gloomy all this time, finally showed a few touches of complacency, as if he had seen the helpless expression on the Eighth Route Army's face when they faced the bombed-out railroad tracks.

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "As long as it takes three days, the two regiments drawn from Luliang can return to Taiyuan. Five days later, a division drawn from the Front Army Command will also enter Shanxi from Tianzhen. Then enter Taiyuan via Datong.

At that time, it will be time for our Great Japanese Imperial Army to launch a counterattack! "

At the end, Yoshio Shinozuka slammed his fist on the conference table in front of him with a 'bang', and all the devil officers were refreshed.

Miyano Jun said again: "I'm going to give orders to the aviation soldiers to destroy the railway tracks."

Shinozuka Yoshio added: "In addition to this, the reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army must be strengthened, especially the reconnaissance of Pingding County and Yangquan County."

"Hi Yi!"

Miyano Jun paused respectfully, then turned and left, and went to call the aviation soldier himself.

……

The screen zooms to Xujiaao.

Eighth Route Army 386 Brigade Headquarters.

Inspiring good news came from the front line one after another, so that despite staying up all night, the brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, and chief of staff were not sleepy at all.

At this time, a correspondent rushed in from outside with a translated message: "Report! The Second Independent Regiment is calling."

The brigade commander looked around a few people with a smile, and asked, "What do you think is said in this telegram?"

The deputy brigade commander thought for a while and said, "It should be about what they seized in Yangquan County."

The chief of staff added: "I guess, there should be news of Xinyi Regiment and other departments winning Pingding County."
