I am helping

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

"report!"

A communications staff officer, holding a telegram in his hand, walked quickly into the war room of the First Army.

Bowed his head to Yoshio Iwamatsu and reported:

"The head of the 3rd Brigade sees Major General Yin Sanxiong again and sent a farewell telegram!"

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu's face changed suddenly, "Farewell telegram?"

Kazuki Yamamoto's pupils on the side couldn't help shrinking slightly.

Miyazaki Masao, Hanagu Masa, and several other staff officers also had a sudden change in expression.

too fast.

Although we know that the remnants of the 3rd Brigade are definitely not the opponents of the Eighth Route New First Regiment, they were besieged by the Eighth Route New First Regiment in Datong City, and the 3rd Brigade was wiped out by the Eighth Route New First Regiment, but it was only a matter of time.

But I didn't expect the news to come so quickly.

The farewell telegram means that the 3rd Brigade is about to be wiped out.

Yoshio Iwamatsu took the telegram from the communication staff officer, only to see that there were only two short sentences in the telegram.

Farewell Telegram: My 3rd Brigade will fight to the last person, to the last minute of life, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Great Japanese Locust Army!
Seeing this telegram, Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed helplessly.

The North China Front Army Command had no order, so he did not send reinforcements to reinforce the 3rd Brigade.

Of course, even if reinforcements are sent, it will definitely be too late.

Taiyuan is nearly 300 kilometers away from Datong. Such a long distance takes more than 10 hours even by train.

At this time, the Beitongpu Railway has been cut off by the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment.

"Send this telegram to the North China Front Army Command immediately!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu handed the telegram to the communications staff.

"Hi!"

The communications staff officer bowed his head, turned around and left quickly.

Those present were very sad to hear the news, but Kazuki Yamamoto and Masao Miyazaki were the most uncomfortable.

This time, most of the establishment of the 3rd Brigade will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment.

Therefore, with the 3rd Brigade as the backbone, the plan to form the 3rd Mixed Brigade may also be shelved.

Masao Miyazaki felt very sad, but also a little fortunate.

The uncomfortable thing is that the 3rd Brigade was originally his unit, but was temporarily transferred to the First Army Command as the deputy chief of staff.

The formation of the 3rd mixed brigade, the position of brigade commander, he is also one of the competitors.

But what he didn't know was that the candidates for the head of the brigade had long been internally determined by Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masao Miyazaki.

Fortunately for Masao Miyazaki, he is not the current commander of the 3rd Brigade, otherwise it would have been Masao Miyazaki who had sent the telegram to the headquarters of the First Army.

war room.

"Report to General!"

"Just now, the headquarters of the First Army forwarded the farewell telegram from the head of the 3rd Brigade to see Major General Yin Sanxiong again."

The communications staff officer held the telegram in his hand and bowed his head to report to Commander Neiji Okamura.

Okamura Ningji frowned, his eyes gloomy.

The 3rd Brigade lost so quickly?
It has only been four hours since the cavalry of the Eighth Route New First Regiment appeared outside Datong City, and they were attacked by the Eighth Route New First Regiment to the brigade headquarters?
According to this speed, maybe at this time, the head of the 3rd brigade saw Yin Sanxiong again and his jade was broken.

Moritake Tanabe and Seishi Yumo who were on the side also had extremely ugly faces.

Taking a deep breath, Neiji Okamura asked, "Has your communication department contacted the pilots of the Kwantung Army who came to bomb the combat supplies?"

"Report to the general!" The communication staff bowed his head. "We have already contacted. The pilot of the Kwantung Army sent a message at the same time. The bomber observers did not find the target at Datong Station. The bombing has been cancelled. The pilot is looking for the target along Pingsui Road!"

Neiji Okamura turned around and stared at the map on the wall, his gaze became more and more gloomy.

In such a short period of time, where can the Eighth Route New First Regiment transport all the combat supplies?

Moritake Tanabe leaned forward to take a look, then tapped the northeast direction of Datong a few times, and said in a deep voice with an ugly face:

"Commander, the Eighth Route New First Regiment probably drove the military columns carrying combat supplies into the tunnels in this area."

Neiji Okamura looked in the direction of Moritake Tanabe's finger.

The map shows that the area is indeed mountainous, which means that there are many bridges and tunnels in this area.

Not most of them, but the Eighth Route Army will definitely transport the military columns carrying combat supplies to the tunnel.

"idiot!"

Neiji Okamura, who put the treasure on the bomber of the Kwantung Army, saw that the bomber failed to blow up the combat materials in the end, and couldn't hold back at all.

Suddenly he cursed angrily, quickly drew out his command saber, and slashed wildly.

Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo silently moved away to avoid harming Chiyu.

Although the 3rd Brigade was not completely wiped out, there was still an infantry brigade outside.

But it was not too different from the total annihilation. The 3rd Brigade was wiped out, and the head of the brigade saw Yin Sanxiong again.

Moreover, the 5000 tons of combat supplies in Datong Station were snatched by the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment, which is a very serious problem.

Your Excellency the Commander, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Xiang Lu and His Majesty Tian Locust.

Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

……

Southeast Shanxi.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The chief, division commander, and chief of staff were also waiting for the news of the new regiment in the conference room of the headquarters.

When the cavalry surrounded Datong, Li Yunlong had already telegraphed the time to launch the general offensive to the headquarters.

The chiefs are very clear about the combat effectiveness of the new regiment, and it is no problem to kill the 3rd brigade.

"Is there any change in the First Army?"

While staring at the map, the chief looked up at the chief of staff.

Holding a porcelain cup in his hand, the chief of staff was drinking water, and then said: "According to the information from various parties, the First Army has not moved yet, and even the Mongolian Army has not moved."

"Hehe..." The chief smiled faintly, "It seems that Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Iwamatsu are planning to abandon the 3rd Brigade."

"Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Iwamatsu really want to save them." The chief of staff laughed, "It's a pity that the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst."

The teacher said with a smile: "This is also good, let the new regiment eat up the 3rd brigade in one bite, and regain Datong and a large area in northern Shanxi."

While speaking, the teacher's right hand drew a circle on the map, which is a large area full of Datong.

In northern Shanxi, Datong is an important military town. Once the new regiment regains Datong, it basically regains Datong.

Moreover, it can also cut off Pingsui Road and Beitongpu Railway, which is an unprecedented blow to the devils.

"Report, a good news for the new group!"

A telegraph soldier in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army almost ran into the war room and snapped a military salute to the chief.

The chief wanted to take it over and read it first, but after a second thought, he said: "Read!"

While speaking, the chief's smile has quickly climbed onto his face. Since it is a good news, it means that the new regiment has captured Datong.

The chief of staff and division commander on the side also smiled and waited with folded arms.

The combat staff in the war room also stopped their work and looked at the telegraph soldiers who came to report.

"Yes!"

The telegraph soldier responded and picked up the telegram without any pause in his voice, and read fluently: "After more than 3 hours of fighting, the Xinyi Regiment has regained Datong, wiped out the Japanese army, and killed the commander of the Japanese 3rd Brigade. See you again." Yin Sanxiong, seized 5000 tons of combat materials, Li Yunlong, head of the new regiment."

When the chief heard the words, he was immediately happy and said, "Well done!"

"Li Yunlong is fast enough." The chief of staff said with a bit of surprise, "The battle was resolved in just over three hours?"

The division commander adjusted his glasses, and said: "This time, Li Yunlong used three artillery battalions and tens of thousands of infantry troops to take Datong easily. However, the battle ended so quickly, which is still somewhat unexpected."

It took more than three hours to storm the next Japanese military town.

outrageous.

The fighting power of the new regiment is really strong.

It's a pity that the Xinyi Regiment is now a unit directly under the headquarters, not a unit of the 129th Division.

The Chief of Staff's expression was extremely satisfied: "With 5000 tons of combat supplies, Li Yunlong has made a fortune!"

In Li Yunlong's report to the headquarters, a large part of the reason why Li Yunlong led his troops to attack Datong was for the 5000 tons of combat supplies.

However, the heads of the headquarters did not have much expectations for whether they could seize the 5000 tons of combat supplies.

At Datong Station, a brigade of devil troops guarded the batch of combat materials.

In case the devil ordered to blow up the combat supplies, or if a shell hit the warp supplies just right, it might trigger a series of explosions.

However, when Li Yunlong's good news came and 5000 tons of combat supplies were seized, all the combat leaders couldn't help but be ecstatic.

These 5000 tons of combat supplies are enough for the Eighth Route Army to launch 2 to 3 battles on the scale of the Hundred Regiments War.

"Call Li Yunlong back immediately!"

The chief looked at the chief of staff and said, "The content of the telegram is just one sentence, Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich!"

"it is good!"

Both the chief of staff and the division commander laughed.

The chief of staff quickly drew up a telegram, handed it over to the chief to sign, and then handed it over to the telegraph soldier for dispatch.

……

Datong.

New regiment headquarters.

The battle was over, and Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others were having breakfast at the regiment headquarters.

The breakfast is canned meat and fruit, which tastes great.

Xing Zhiguo asked: "Commander, why don't you visit the 3rd Brigade Headquarters?"

Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone: "It's just a brigade headquarters, and it's not the headquarters of the North China Front Army. What's there to see?"

"Report, call back from the headquarters." The telegraph soldier came over with the telegram in his hand.

Wang Dehou was close to the telegraph soldiers, so he took the telegram and read it. After reading the telegram, he said with a smile: "Regimental Commander, the head of the headquarters congratulates you on getting rich."

Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at it, and smiled immediately.

Li Yunlong didn't plan to keep this batch of combat supplies in the Xinyi Regiment, just leave a small part for the militia.

Most of them still have to be handed in, because the weapons equipped by the main force of the new regiment are basically American-style, and the ammunition other than grenades, the bullets and shells of the devils do not match the ammunition used by the main force of the new regiment.

Suddenly, Li Yunlong seemed to have thought of something, and a smirk appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Gang immediately asked, "Lao Li, did you think of another idea?"

"That's right!" The smirk on Li Yunlong's face became more intense, and he looked at Wang Dehou, "Chief of Staff, immediately send out a plain code telegram to the effect that he would like to thank Ningji Okamura, the commander of the Eighth Route Army's transportation brigade, for giving us the 5000 tons of the Eighth Route Army. Combat supplies."

"Understood!" Hearing this, Wang Dehou also smirked twice, and then began to draft a telegram.
