I am helping

Southeast Shanxi, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The heads of the headquarters are also anxiously waiting for news of a new ambush force.

After Li Yunlong ordered to send information to the ambush troops, he sent another copy to the headquarters.

So the chief of staff and the boss all knew that the Devil's 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment would arrive in Datong this morning.

Once the Devil's 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment arrives in Datong, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, Boss Chen provided information, and the Eighth Route Army ambushes of more than 7000 people set up a pocket formation in Miaoergou, waiting for the devil's heavy artillery and infantry regiments to sneak in.

The telegraph soldiers at the headquarters hurried into the headquarters, and saluted the boss and the chief of staff with a snap:
"Report to the chief, the new regiment has a good news!"

When the boss and the chief of staff heard the good news, their eyes lit up, and they stood up abruptly, and the busy combat staff also turned to look at the telegraph soldier.

The boss was about to reach out to answer the telegram, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he waved it up again: "Read!"

The telegraph soldier picked up the telegram and read aloud with joy on his face: "The enemy entered our ambush circle at 06:30 this morning. After half an hour of fierce fighting, they completely wiped out the enemy's 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and 3rd Infantry Regiment. A heavy armored train, blowing up 2 enemy cannons, 20 heavy cannons, the new regiment leader Li Yunlong!"

"it is good!"

"Xinyituan has won the battle again!"

As soon as the words fell, the excited voices of the combat staff at the headquarters came, and the applause was like thunder.

"Nice job!"

The boss was even more excited and punched the table with his fist, making a loud bang, and the water glasses, pencils and other items on the table all shook.

The chief of staff folded his arms. Although he didn't speak, it could be seen from the smile on his face that he was extremely happy at this time.

The 1st Division is known as one of the most powerful units in the Japanese army.

The 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment are naturally not bad in combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, in Miaoergou, the two battalions of the Xinyi Regiment and the three regiments of the Independent Brigade were wiped out within half an hour.

This is definitely a big win!

The perfect ambush terrain, the unparalleled firepower of the two battalions of the Xinyi Regiment, not to mention the 3rd infantry regiment of the devils, even the pro-guards of the locust came, and they could only end up being wiped out.

Although it was expected, the boss and the chief of staff were still filled with uncontrollable excitement when they heard the contents of the telegram.

"In order to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in various base areas, I suggest that the whole army be notified of this victory immediately."

A combat staff officer suggested excitedly with his expression and tone.

The boss nodded: "This victory not only needs to be reported to the whole army, but also to the whole country."

Although the Eighth Route Army is gaining momentum right now, it has recently expanded the formation of many core regiments, and some of these troops have even escaped and surrendered to the enemy.

The frontal troops of the national army also fought very hard. Although the devil's offensive in South China and Central China was barely restrained, many national army troops were still wavering. They were pessimistic about winning the war and joined the Wang puppet government. It is euphemistically called curve saving the country.

The news of this victory will definitely cause an uproar, and it will greatly stimulate and encourage the anti-Japanese morale of the military and civilians across the country.

The chief of staff added: "It is possible to clearly send a report to the whole country, but for the time being, it cannot be said that the Xinyi regiment did it. The Xinyi regiment jumped to the sixth and seventh battalions of the sub-district on the outside line, and it cannot be exposed for the time being."

"That's right!" The boss looked at the chief of staff, "immediately draw up a report for the whole country that the Eighth Route Army will wipe out the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the 3rd Infantry Regiment in Miaoergou on the Pingsui Railway."

The regiments of the Japanese army are the same as the divisions. The higher the designation, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the unit.

The shadow of a famous tree, the number of the 3rd infantry regiment, ranked third among the hundreds of regiments of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is naturally very strong.

In addition, the 3rd Infantry Regiment also participated in the "February [-]" mutiny, but was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in Miaoergou.

In the process of cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment failed to find the flag of the 3rd regiment, and it was either blown up or burned by the squadron soldiers protecting the flag from the devils.

In either case, the loss of the regiment flag meant that the 3rd Japanese Infantry Regiment had been completely wiped out.

This is absolutely significant.

The chief of staff smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll make a telegram right now."

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army.

Holding the telegram in his hand, the communications staff hurried into the battle room, only to see the faces of Okamura Neiji and Arisue Seizo as black as the bottom of a pot.

At first, only the armored train Banner was destroyed, but then the armored train Chaser also lost contact.

Neiji Okamura and Seizo Arisue suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

However, Ningji Okamura still didn't have much to worry about. His face was black because the intelligence of the heavy artillery convoy was leaked.

And You Mojing's face is dark because he has to pretend to be dark. Although he is still a little bit confused, if he doesn't pretend, he will look suspicious.

Even if two armored trains were destroyed, with the 3rd Infantry Regiment escorting the whole process, the Tuba Road in the bandit area of ​​Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei was absolutely helpless in a short period of time to the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment.

As long as the reinforcements from the 26th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 11th Division in Datong arrive, the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment will be completely safe.

However, Okamura Neiji's heart skipped a beat when he saw the face of the communications staff officer when he entered the war room.

"Is there any news from the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment?"

Ningji Okamura hurriedly asked in a deep voice.

Since the Chaser also lost contact, the 5th Infantry Regiment of Heavy Artillery and the 3rd Infantry Regiment have been out of contact for more than an hour.

Even the brigade radio stations of each wing could not be contacted. At present, the headquarters has sent two reconnaissance planes to Miaoergou for high-altitude reconnaissance.

"Hi!"

The communication staff officer looked ugly, and reported with a pause: "The commander of the 26th independent infantry regiment of the 11th division, Sadao Chida, reported that the 5th heavy artillery regiment and the 3rd infantry regiment... all of them are broken!"

"The 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment are all broken!?"

"This is impossible!"

Neiji Okamura's first reaction was to not believe it at all.

The look and tone of the commander of the North China Front were full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

In half an hour, the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing were wiped out. How is this possible?

Just relying on the troops of the Eighth Route Army in that area?

You know, the 3rd Infantry Regiment is the elite of the elite of the Imperial Locust Army, with superb combat literacy and fighting will. How could it be wiped out so quickly?
"Could it be that the telegraph soldier sent the wrong telegram?"

"Or was there a mistake in the telegram translation?"

You Mo Jingsan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at the communications staff and asked in a deep voice.

Now, Arisue Seizo finally understands the whole story. It must be that the commander deliberately sent him to receive the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment to let him know the departure time of the heavy artillery convoy from Beiping Station.

Then Okamura Ningji secretly arranged a Type [-] armored train and two military trains at a certain station halfway to replace the real heavy artillery convoy to Datong.

In order to test whether Youmo Jingsan is a spy of the Eighth Route Army, he did not expect that the fake heavy artillery convoy was not ambushed, but the real heavy artillery convoy was ambushed.

At this time, Yuseisan had mixed feelings in his heart, and what Neji Okamura did made him feel a little chilled.

If the fake heavy artillery convoy was ambushed on the way, then he might not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Youmo Jingsan is not a stunned young man, and will not express his inner thoughts on his face.

"Hey, I've confirmed with Colonel Chida Sadao through the radio, and the news is absolutely true."

The communications staff officer looked at Seizo Arisue and said, "20 Taisho Seven Year-style 150mm cannons and 10 Nine Zero-style 240mm heavy cannons were all destroyed by Eight Routes!"

"idiot!"

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji couldn't contain his anger any longer, he drew out the General's saber and slashed wildly.

After venting, Okamura Ningji withdrew the general's sword back into the scabbard, and glanced at the communications staff with a blank expression.

The communication staff officer Chrysanthemum tensed up immediately. Your Excellency the Commander still suspects that I leaked the information about the heavy artillery convoy, right?

He quickly lowered his head and then turned around and walked out. Looking at the back of the communication staff officer, Okamura Ningji narrowed his eyes slightly. The communication staff seemed a little guilty?
After a while, the communications staff member hurried in with the telegram in his hand again, and reported to Neiji Okamura with a pause:

"Report to the commander, the Eighth Route Army headquarters has sent a clear telegram!"

Okamura Ningji took it over and took a look. What was written in the plain code telegram was the notification of the Eighth Route Army's ambush and annihilation of the 1th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 5rd Infantry Regiment of the 3st Division in Miaoergou.

As for the number of the Eighth Route Army's ambush unit, the telegram did not mention it.

After reading the telegram, Okamura Ningji was almost dizzy, his chest heaved violently, and angrily tore the telegram into pieces.

The Eight Routes completely wiped out the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and even invented the code telegraph, which is simply murderous.

Now not only the Chinese know about it, but it will also be spread to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the base camp of the Japanese army in advance. Should the navy red deer be ridiculed again?
"Order!"

“第10师团、第21师团、第23师团、第25师团、第35师团。”

"Immediately launch the most ferocious attack on the bandit area in the Northwest of the Eighth Route Shanxi!"

Neiji Okamura looked at the communications staff officer, and issued a combat order with an angry expression.

Without heavy artillery, this battle still has to be fought, and the Eight Routes in Northwest Shanxi must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain to Lu Xiang and His Majesty Tian Locust.

"Hi!"

The communications staff officer suddenly nodded, turned and left.

……

Principal Chang, who was far away in Shuangqing City, also immediately received a clear telegram from the radio station of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Principal Chang couldn't help yelling at the Japanese army as pigs, and the heavy artillery and infantry regiments were wiped out by Tubalu on the way.

In his opinion, it would be best for the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army to beat out the dog's brains in Northwest Shanxi, so that both sides would be hurt, so that the national army could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is becoming stronger and stronger, coupled with external aid channels, and when the Japanese are beaten away one day in the future, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi will definitely be a serious problem for the national army.

However, Principal Chang did not dare to say these words to outsiders.

This clear-coded telegram from the Eighth Route Army and the annihilation of two Japanese regiments this time will definitely make some people's hearts tilt towards the Eighth Route Army.

If Li Yunlong in Northwest Shanxi wins another big victory in this anti-sweeping operation, it will not be good news for the national army.

At this time, the Japanese army, mainly the Eleventh Army, dispatched four divisions and two independent brigades, with a total of more than 100 people. With the support of more than 200 aircraft and more than [-] ships, the Japanese army was divided into two groups. Invaded Changsha for the second time.

Therefore, Principal Chang ordered the attendant's room to send a telegram to Xue Yue immediately, ordering Xue Yue to fight a big victory and beat the Japanese invaders with the power of eight victories.
