Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 487 Shocked head of headquarters: Jinzhong was attacked?Is this the reason why the devils in Taiyuan were dispatched?

Just when the heads of the headquarters were studying the battle situation and discussing what surprises the frontline combat troops would bring to them today.

Suddenly, a correspondent hurried over with a translated message.

The communications soldier came to the deputy boss and saluted, and reported: "Report, Taiyuan sent an urgent call, saying that the Japanese independent and mixed 8th Brigade, the Black Island Cavalry Wing, and the 3rd Armored Vehicle Brigade suddenly gathered urgently and left the south gate. And go, the specific movement is unknown.”

Hearing this, the deputy boss frowned slightly: "The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade is one of the two brigades of the Japanese 1st Army General Reserve. They didn't dispatch last night. Why is it so abnormal tonight?"

The deputy chief of staff also frowned slightly: "Yes, yesterday Niangziguan, Pingding County, Yangquan County and other important passes and counties were attacked or even lost. The devils in Taiyuan City did not move out. Not as good as yesterday, why did they suddenly dispatch?
Abnormal, very abnormal! "

The deputy boss, the deputy chief of staff and other heads of the headquarters were puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what the little devil was doing.

After thinking for a moment, the deputy boss asked again: "How is the battle situation of the frontline troops today, and have they achieved any major results?"

The deputy chief of staff shook his head: "So far, none of the front-line troops have broken through the large Japanese strongholds, at least they haven't reported to the headquarters yet."

At this time, another correspondent came over with a translated message, stood up and saluted the deputy boss and reported: "Report! Jinzhong sent an urgent message. Our army's attack on Jinzhong County has achieved great results. At present, the East, The south, west, and north gates of the city have all been breached, and our main force has entered the city, where we are fighting the Japanese army."

It is worth mentioning that the underground party lurking in Jinzhong County did not know whether the Second Independent Regiment and other departments attacked Jinzhong County, whether it was an order from the headquarters, so in order to prevent exposure, they did not contact the headquarters immediately.

It wasn't until the regiments broke through the gates of the city one after another and entered the city. Considering that the regiments had no radio stations and could not contact the headquarters immediately to feed back the news, they used the secret radio stations.

The deputy boss was shocked when he heard the news: "What? The main force of our army launched an attack on Jinzhong County? It also broke through the four gates of the east, south, west, and north? When did this happen? Which army did it, how come I don’t know about it?”

Not only the vice president, but also the deputy chief of staff and other heads of the headquarters were also confused.

At this time, the deputy chief of staff suddenly thought of something, and he said, "Boss, the devils in Taiyuan City are suddenly dispatched, is it because of the attack on Jinzhong County?"

Before the vice president could speak, the chief of staff asked himself and answered: "It must be. The geographical location of Jinzhong County is different from that of Pingding County and Yangquan County. It is the southern gate of Taiyuan City. Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely not let you It is easily lost!"

The deputy boss also knew that the devils in Taiyuan City were suddenly dispatched, and it was probably because of this reason, so he didn't bother with this question anymore, but asked: "Which army is it that suddenly launched an attack on Jinzhong County? Why? Haven't we received any news?"

After a pause, before the deputy chief of staff and others could speak, the deputy boss went on to say: "The 129th Division is responsible for destroying the Zhengtai Railway. If you dare to launch an attack on Jinzhong County, at least one brigade or even more troops must be dispatched." Chief of Staff, tell me, which brigade will attack Jinzhong County?"

The deputy chief of staff said with a smile: "Those newly formed brigades definitely don't have such strength, so the only two main brigades, the 385th and 386th brigades, who attacked Jinzhong County, then the answer is ready."

The deputy boss shook his head: "Impossible, I know Lao Chen and Lao Wang, it is absolutely impossible for them to act in violation of military orders without asking for instructions.

It's not that they dare not fight Jinzhong, but that they will definitely report such a big event in advance. "

Deputy Chief of Staff: "Of course it is impossible for Lao Wang and Lao Chen to violate discipline and act without asking for instructions. Moreover, each regiment under them has their own mission goals, and they are currently unable to escape.

However, they will not act without authorization, which does not mean that the regiment leaders under them will not act without authorization. "

When the deputy chief of staff reminded him, the deputy chief immediately thought of something: "Chief of staff, you mean that the one who attacked Jinzhong County was Li Yunlong, the stunned one?"

The deputy chief of staff shook his head: "That stupid Li Yunlong is not afraid of heaven and earth, not to mention fighting Jinzhong, he dares to fight Taiyuan, but he doesn't have such strength."

"If it's not Li Yunlong, who else is there? Wang Chengzhu, could it be Wang Chengzhu?"

The deputy boss thought for a while, and inconveniently locked on the suspect.

Wang Chengzhu was no less courageous than Li Yunlong. When he was in Northwest Shanxi, he attacked Wanjia Town, the devil's prisoner-of-war camp, the Dashawan Mine, and even made a fuss at the birthday party of Heyuan County Gendarmerie Captain Hirata Ichiro, and later ambushed the Japanese army. The officer observation group, Huluxia ambushed the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade, and wiped out the Japanese 4th Brigade, which one thing is not earth-shattering.

After arriving in Southeast Shanxi, he also proposed the bold plan to attack Yangquan County.

In addition to his courage, his ability is also obvious to all. He has made great military exploits time and time again, and he has almost never failed.

If anyone has the courage and strength to attack Jinzhong County, Wang Chengzhu must be one of them!

Wang Chengzhu is the treasure of the entire Eighth Route Army.

Considering Wang Chengzhu's military achievements, as well as his tactical command ability and ability to develop troops, the vice president can be said to be extremely partial to Wang Chengzhu.

Even though he knew that it might be him who attacked Jinzhong County, he was not too angry, but rather worried.

If it were Li Yunlong, the vice president would have started scolding his mother by now.

After a pause, the vice president continued: "Last night, Wang Chengzhu just attacked Yangquan County, and he also incorporated the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. Their strength has exceeded [-] people, and they really have the strength to attack Jinzhong County.

However, even if they can break through the city defense of Jinzhong County, what will they do with the reinforcements from Taiyuan? "

Deputy Chief of Staff: "Boss, Wang Chengzhu was only the initiator of the Battle of Jinzhong, but his Second Independent Regiment may not be the only one who really attacked Jinzhong County."

Vice President: "You mean, Xinyituan and other departments also participated?"

Deputy Chief of Staff: "It may be more than that. As for how many people participated in it, you can send a telegram to Lao Chen and ask."

After a pause, the vice president smiled and said, "However, even if you send a telegram to Lao Chen, Lao Chen will probably evade and say he doesn't know."
