Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 567 The Hundred Regiments Battle Comes to an End
After the battle is over, the next step is to get out of the list to calm the people and fight the local tyrants.

These tasks are done by the political commissars of each regiment, but Wang Chengzhu doesn't need to worry about it.

Then, on behalf of the security group, Li Chuan of the Shouyang security group found Wang Chengzhu alone. He first revealed his identity to Wang Chengzhu, and then told the thoughts of the puppet soldiers of the security group.

Wang Chengzhu naturally supported Li Chuan.

Because the twisted melon is not sweet, since these puppet soldiers are unwilling to participate in the Eighth Route, of course he will not force it.

Moreover, instead of counting on these gangsters who love leisure, hate work, and fear death to fight devils, it is better to recruit a new group of recruits to be more effective.

In fact, after the Eighth Route Army captured the puppet soldiers, they often just carried out some ideological reform and then released them.

The Eighth Route Army is not afraid that these guys will join the enemy again, anyway, they don't have much fighting power, wouldn't it be nice to keep the wool?

On the contrary, if these guys are forced to participate in the Eighth Route, they might mutiny at some point.

When Li Chuan brought back this 'exciting' news, the reputation of the Shouyang security group immediately rose to an unprecedented level, even surpassing their group leader Liu Fugui.

And Li Chuan was not greedy for credit, and gave all the credit to Liu Fugui, which immediately made Liu Fugui feel good about him, and regarded him as a life and death brother...

The screen zoomed to Taiyuan City, half an hour ago.

Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

Communication Section Chief Ono Nobunaga walked in from the outside with a solemn face, walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka, gave a respectful nod, and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 33rd Regiment of the Imperial Army's Infantry has lost contact."

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned slightly, and asked, "When did this happen?"

Ono Nobunaga: "About half an hour ago, the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Army lost contact. In the past half an hour, my subordinates have been trying to contact each other, but the messages they sent are like nothing.

Not only the 33rd Infantry Regiment, but also the radio stations of the other six imperial armies lost contact one after another.

Therefore, I am reporting to you now. "

Yoshio Shinozuka seemed to have expected this result, and just waved his hand.

"Hi Yi!"

Ono Nobunaga paused again, then turned and left.

Chief of Staff Miyano Jun said: "Your Excellency, the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Army has lost contact. I'm afraid it was mostly wiped out by the Eighth Route Army."

One of the combat staff officers said: "Chief of Staff, could it be that the radio station of the 33rd Infantry Regiment failed?"

Toshi Miyano asked without answering, "Even if the radio station of the 33rd Regiment failed, could it be that the radio stations of the other six imperial armies also failed?"

"This……"

The combat staff officer was at a loss for words when asked.

Junichiro Uehara, the deputy chief of staff, frowned again and said: "Your Excellency, Shouyang has fallen, and all the strongholds of our 1st Army in the southeast of Shanxi have been captured by the Eighth Route Army, so that we will become blind and deaf. Regions, and the situation of the Eighth Route Army will be completely unknown.

I'm afraid that even if the 41st Division of the Imperial Army and the 77th and 96th Infantry Regiments arrive at Taiyuan City, we may not have enough strength to launch a raid on the southeast of Shanxi. control of the railway.

But if you want to repair the Zhengtai Railway and keep it open, at least one division has to be invested. "

After a pause, Uehara Junichiro changed the subject and continued: "Besides, there is an old saying in China that only a thousand days can be a thief, and there is no one who can defend against a thief for a thousand days.

We want to ensure that the Zhengtai Railway has been unimpeded. The only and effective way is to launch a large-scale sweep of the southeastern Shanxi, Taihang, and Taiyue bandit areas, and severely damage or even wipe out the Eighth Route Army in these areas! "

Miyano Jun: "Uehara-kun, your Excellency the Commander knows what you said, but right now the North China Imperial Army has no troops to transfer, where can we transfer a division of the Imperial Army?"

Junichiro Uehara was also silent.

Yoshio Shinozuka: "Since there are no soldiers to move now, let's wait until the Zaoyi battle in the south is over, and then launch a sweep against the Eighth Route Army.

Right now, our top priority is to recapture all the lost areas and ensure their safety. "

Miyano Jun said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, what about the North China Front Army Headquarters?"

Shinozuka Yoshio thought for a while and said, "Report truthfully."

Miyano Jun: "But..."

Yoshio Shinozuka saw Miyano Toshi's worry, and said, "Miyano-kun, since these things have happened, we should just face them bravely. Don't we want to be a deserter who dare not face the truth?"

A little worry appeared on Miyano Jun's face: "What if Commander Okamura blames him?"

Yoshio Shinozuka: "Since it's my fault, if Commander Okamura blames me, I will take it for myself, for the benefit of the empire, for the glory of Greater East Asia; when I put on this military uniform, it will be ready Give everything, including the preparation of life!"

"If I conceal it and fail to report it, causing the commander of the front army and the headquarters to miscalculate the situation in Shanxi and the strength of the Eighth Route Army, I will become a sinner of the empire!"

"Hi Yi!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's tone sounded a bit bleak, but Miyano Toshi felt that the opponent's body was unprecedentedly stalwart.

Dare to take responsibility, can give everything for the empire, including life, this is really a good leader, a good officer.

Miyano Jun paused respectfully, then turned and left, and truthfully reported everything that happened in Southeast Shanxi to the North China Front Army Command.

Of course, there is also the words of Shinozuka Yoshio's awe-inspiring righteousness, that he can give everything for the empire.

……

Peiping.

Japanese North China Front Command.

Naozaburo Okabe, who was the chief of staff of the Front Army at the time, did not dare to delay even the slightest delay after receiving the telegram from Toshi Miyano from Taiyuan, so he immediately went to Neiji Okamura's office.

Recently, as the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiments War, the situation in North China has become turbulent.

Therefore, even at 12 o'clock in the morning, Okamura Ningji still did not sleep.

This old devil is still reviewing documents, sorting out materials, and researching ways to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Hearing the sound at the door, Neiji Okamura put down the document in his hand and said, "Come in."

Naozaburo Okabe pushed open the door, bowed his head respectfully to Neiji Okamura, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, the 1st Army has an urgent call."

Neiji Okamura: "The 1st Army's urgent telegram? What did Shinozuka Yoshio say in the telegram?"

Naozaburo Okabe: "According to the telegram sent by the Chief of the General Staff of the First Army, Miyano Jun, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Shouyang County tonight. After several hours of fierce fighting, Shouyang County was captured by the Eighth Route Army. The entire army of the 1rd Regiment of the Imperial Army Infantry in the city is smashed!"

"In addition, last night, the Eighth Route Army also attacked the Imperial Army's Wusu Airport in the east of Taiyuan City."

After finishing speaking, Naozaburo Okabe stepped forward, and respectfully handed over the translated documents in his hand to Neiji Okamura...
