Chapter 675 The joy of double business!

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

"Nani? The main force of the 1st Division was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi?"

After listening to the communication staff read the clear-coded telegram sent by the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

In the battle hall, Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Hanaya Masa, Miyazaki Masao, Yamamoto Kazuki and others on the side also had the same expression.

Immediately, Yoshio Iwamatsu and the others showed suspicious expressions on their faces.

Was ambushed in the afternoon, and it was only dark, and the main force of the 1st Division was wiped out?

true or false?

If the First Army still has aviation, then Yoshio Iwamatsu only needs to send a plane to Northwest Shanxi for a reconnaissance circle to know whether the 1st Division has really been wiped out.

It's a pity that the aviation of the First Army has been completely lost, and the aviation supplies of the headquarters will not arrive until next month.

Moreover, Iwamatsu Yoshio heard that there are still a group of new pilots who have just graduated.

New pilots are new pilots, it's better than nothing, as long as you don't encounter the air assistance called by the Eighth Route Army, and flying a little higher during combat is not a big problem.

Hua Gu was the first to say: "This is probably a smoke bomb from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The 1st Division is the elite of the empire. It is absolutely impossible for more than 2 people to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army so quickly."

Although the First Army of the Japanese Army is also the number one, but the First Army is all second-line divisions with average equipment.

The 1st Division is the oldest division in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Whether it is weapons and equipment or soldiers are first-class.

Masao Miyazaki on the side also said: "I agree with the chief of staff. This is probably the news that the Eighth Route Army deliberately released to confuse the locust army."

The clear-coded telegrams of the Eighth Route Army can basically be received by combat units at the brigade level of the Japanese Army in North China.

Because the radio stations of the Japanese army were equipped at the brigade level, plaintext telegrams could be sent to the brigade level of the combat troops.

If this news is true, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Japanese army in North China.

On the side, Kazuki Yamamoto frowned, as if he was a little suspicious.

"Yamamoto-kun." Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Kazuki Yamamoto who hesitated to speak, and asked in a deep voice, "You seem to have something to say?"

"Your Excellency Commander..."

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't want to speak at first, but was named by Yansong Game, so Yamamoto had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"The Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi is likely to eat the main force of the 1st Division of the Locust Army in just a few hours."

"This is impossible!" Hua Guzheng retorted, "Even if the main force of the 1st Division is surrounded, how many troops are there in the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi? It is absolutely impossible to end the battle so quickly!"

Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, don't forget that the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi can call in air support, and one air support can kill an infantry regiment."

After hearing this, Hua Guzheng's voice of rebuttal stopped abruptly.

How did you forget about air support?

"If this news is true." Hua Guzheng said, "It must be that Eight Routes called for mysterious air support."

At this moment, a telegrapher walked into the battle hall with a telegram in his hand, bowed his head to Yoshio Iwamatsu and said:

"Report, telegram from General Yasuji Okamura, Commander of the North China Front."

Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "Read!"

"Hi!" The communications staff took the telegram from the telegraph soldier and read:

"The main force of the 1st Division surrounded in the northwest of Shanxi has been completely smashed. Order your assembled troops to disband on the spot."

Amidst the sound of the communication officer reading a telegram, the devil's telegraph soldier left quickly.

Yoshio Iwamatsu and others were stunned after listening to the telegram. The Japanese officers, including several combat staff officers, fell into deep thought.

This is a secret message from the North China Front Army, and everyone has no objection anymore, representing Shi Hammer.

Was the main force of the 1st Division really wiped out by the Eighth Route Army?

After a while, Yoshio Iwamatsu and the others came back to their senses.

"report!"

At this moment, the telegraph soldier who went out just now walked in with a telegram in his hand, and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu:

"A senior agent lurking at the top of the Jinsui Army sent a telegram that the main forces of the Jinsui Army's divisions are chasing behind the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade, advancing towards Taiyuan."

Yoshio Iwamatsu was shocked when he heard the words, took the telegram and looked at it.

Then he walked quickly to the map and looked towards Luliang Mountain.

Immediately, he looked towards Jindongnan again, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

If the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi and the Jinsui Army attack Taiyuan at the same time, the war in northwest Shanxi is over, and the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi also joins in, then the situation will be very bad.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help but shrink back.

Masao Hanagu and Masao Miyazaki on the side also thought of this. Seeing Yoshio Iwamatsu's face turned ugly, their eyes suddenly darkened.

This Yan Laoxi really dares to take the initiative to attack Taiyuan, who really wants to toast and refuses to eat fine wine?

But the current First Army is really bullied by dogs.

Kazuki Yamamoto's expression was extremely calm, and he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't worry, Yan Xishan is just pretending to be a tiger."

"A fox pretends to be a tiger?" Yoshio Yanmatsu asked, "How do you say that?"

Yamamoto's tone was disdainful: "Yan Xishan just saw that the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi was preparing to go north, so he dared to send troops to advance in the direction of Taiyuan. Otherwise, even if he lent Yan Xishan some courage, he would not dare to attack Taiyuan. It’s over, and our First Army doesn’t need to reinforce the First Division, so the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi will definitely not attack Taiyuan.”

Masao Miyazaki asked in a deep voice: "How can Yamamoto-kun be sure that the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi will not attack Taiyuan?"

"One day in the future, the Eighth Route Army may attack Taiyuan." Kazuki Yamamoto glanced at Masao Miyazaki lightly, speaking confidently, "But definitely not now."

After a pause, Kazuki Yamamoto looked at Yoshio Iwamatsu, and continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade kill a carbine, and there may be unexpected gains."

At this time, the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade were still on their way back to Taiyuan.

"Yoxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the communications staff officer, "Immediately send an order to the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade to return to attack the Jinsui Army."

"Hi!"

The communications officer suddenly bowed his head.

With the order of the First Army Command.

The 41st Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade returned to Luliang Mountain overnight, trying to kill a carbine, and caught the Jinsui Army by surprise.

……

Northern Shaanxi.

Qiulin Town.

Second Theater Command.

war room.

"commander!"

Holding the telegram in his hand, the communication staff officer of the Jinsui Army quickly walked up to Yan Xishan, saluted a military salute, and said in a happy tone, "Commander, a great victory in Northwest Shanxi!"

Although secretly, Yan Xishan and Yoshio Yansong flirted with each other.

But on the surface, the Jinsui Army is still fighting against Japan.

This time the Japanese army attacked Luliang Mountain, which made Yan Xishan even more determined not to surrender. If you mess with me, I will not surrender.

Not only will I not surrender, but I, the Jinsui Army, will join the Eighth Route Army to disgust you.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xishan was slightly startled, "Great victory?"

"Yes Commander!"

The communications staff officer in a gray-blue military uniform handed a telegram to Yan Xishan: "This is a clear-coded telegram that the Communications Department has just received from the Eighth Route Army."

Yan Xishan took the telegram and read it.

This telegram has the same content as the one received by Yoshio Iwamatsu and the others.

It is the good news that the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi successfully ambushed the 1st Division and wiped out more than 2 1st Divisions.

"Very good, very good!"

After reading the telegram, a smile appeared on Yan Xishan's face, and then he snorted coldly and said:

"This little devil knows how to bully the Russian Jinsui Army. Now he is being bullied by the Eighth Route Army? Are you comfortable?"

At the same time, Yan Xishan was shocked by the speed at which the Eighth Route Army ended the battle.

How many hours have passed since the start of the ambush battle, and the battle is already over?
In Yan Xishan's mind, he raised the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army by two levels.

Although he has more than a dozen divisions in his hand, he is very strong. I am afraid that if the Jinsui Army's dozen divisions are tied together, they may not even be able to defeat the new regiment.

Yan Xishan was also worried, if the Japanese were driven away in the future, would there be a place for him and the Jinsui army in Shanxi?
But fortunately, although the Japanese have suffered several big losses, the strength of the Japanese army is still strong, and there is still a bigger battle to be fought between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.

As long as Yan Xishan is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, he will come out to pick peaches when the time is right.

"Immediately order the attacking divisions to return to the defense zone."

"In addition, send another commendation telegram to the Eighth Route Army, congratulating the Eighth Route Army on launching an active offensive in Northwest Shanxi and achieving great results. It has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and strengthened our country's prestige."

Yan Xishan narrowed his eyes and looked at the communication staff who came to report.

"Yes!"

"commander!"

The communications staff straightened up.

Although Yan Xishan's order was to catch up with the Japanese 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade and take a bite.

However, the units of the Jinsui Army did not fully obey Yan Xishan's orders, and followed far behind the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Yan Xishan also received a clear-coded telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The cunning Chief Yan realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered all units of the Jinsui Army to retreat to Luliang Mountain. The backhand shots of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade failed.

……

three days later.

Northwest Shanxi.

Dagu Town.

"The meeting is about to start, where is Lao Li?"

Zhao Gang walked quickly into the meeting room of the regiment headquarters with the folder under his arm, and found that everyone was present except Li Yunlong, so he asked.

Everyone wore M1911 caliber semi-automatic pistols on their waists.

Not only the regiment-level officers, but even the platoon-level officers of the main force of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army were all replaced with new-style pistols very early on.

Of course, what Li Yunlong wore on his waist was a golden Desert Eagle, which made him very angry.

"Political commissar." Xing Zhiguo replied: "The head of the group is handing over work to Comrade Xiuqin, director of the Women's Rescue Society."

"What work can they hand over?" Zhao Gang asked in surprise.

As for what kind of work was handed over, deputy head Xing couldn't say, only that Xiuqin went from Zhaojiayu to Dagu Town to look for Li Yunlong at regular intervals.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie on the side looked at each other when they heard this, and the corners of their mouths twitched at the same time.

Li Yunlong, this kid, has a situation.

After a while, Li Yunlong stepped into the regiment headquarters, followed by guard Huang Erhu and correspondent Chen Baoshan, and the latter two stopped at the door.

"All here?" Li Yunlong looked at everyone and said, "Then let's start the meeting."

Today's meeting is mainly to announce the results and losses, as well as the capture and business distribution of the three regiments.

"The Chongqing government, the Second Theater Command, and the commanders of the major military regions have all sent congratulatory messages to our Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi."

Zhao Gang picked up the folder and smiled all over his face:
"I won't read the contents of the telegram one by one."

Everyone was also smiling, there was no need to read the telegram, they all knew that the content of the telegram was still the same.

It is nothing more than congratulations to the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi for launching an active offensive and achieving great results.

The Chairman of the Standing Committee and Yan Laoxi are both of the same kind, and they only send reward telegrams without any practicality.

But having said that, now the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi really doesn't like the stuff of Principal Chang and Yan Laoxi.

The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has no shortage of food, weapons and ammunition, and medicine.

"This is an award telegram from the headquarters."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gang put the commendation telegram from the headquarters on the top
Speaking of the award telegram from the headquarters, everyone looked at Li Yunlong with smiles on their lips. At the end of the award telegram, the head of the headquarters also specially congratulated Li Yunlong on his fortune.

"In this battle, our three regiments have captured a lot."

The smile on Zhao Gang's face did not diminish, and he continued to smile all over his face:

"More than 500 200 rifles and bayonets each, more than 10 light and heavy machine guns, more than [-] million rounds of Arisaka rifle ammunition, more than [-] grenades, some grenades and anti-tank guns."

"There are also more than 70 artillery pieces of various calibers."

There are more than 70 mountain artillery and field artillery of the Devils in total, but most of them were blown up during the shelling.

The more than 70 artillery pieces captured were mainly mortars, rapid-fire guns and infantry guns.

Zhao Gang continued:

"In addition, during the battle, we destroyed and captured 75 artillery pieces above 72 mm, 68 tanks and armored vehicles, and 432 vehicles."

"The captured and destroyed artillery above 75 mm, tanks and armored vehicles, as well as cars that were captured and destroyed in the battle with the Type A division, are double business with Boss Chen."

"Double business?" Kong Jie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked with a somewhat uncertain expression, "What do you mean?"

Before the ambush of the 1st Division, when Boss Chen came to Dagu Town to discuss business, Ding Wei and Kong Jie went back to their respective bases, so they didn't know about the new business.

"That's what it means." Li Yunlong said with the corner of his mouth upturned, "If one mountain artillery or field artillery is destroyed or seized, Boss Chen will give us two mountain artillery or field artillery. The same goes for tanks, armored vehicles, and cars. Do you understand?"

Kong Jie and Ding Wei couldn't help breathing when they heard the words.

"Double business, isn't this a big profit?" Ding Wei's voice was high-pitched, and his expression was extremely exaggerated, "Do the math, let's seize one share from the devil, and Boss Chen will give two more, then Didn't we earn 1 shares?"

Li Yunlong nodded with a smile on his face: "Lao Ding's account is not wrong, it's three shares."

Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Is this the joy of double business?
