Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 122 Battlefield Observation Team and Your Royal Highness!

"No problem, Commander."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, and then said to Miyano Michiichi: "Then, in the name of the headquarters, send a report to the 20th Division, and ask the commander of the 20th Division to come from the artillery regiment attached to the division. , dispatched four Type 91 105mm howitzers, towed by trucks to Jinghai County, and handed them over to Miyamoto Taro for use.”.

"Yes, Commander."

Michi Miyano nodded, and then turned his head to Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the headquarters standing beside him, and said: "Send a report to the 20th Division according to the commander's instructions.".

"In addition, send a report to Miyamoto Taro, saying that the headquarters has agreed to transfer four 105mm howitzers to him, so that he can fight well in the next battle!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

Kitamura Junyi stood and heard this, and immediately paused heavily, then turned and went back to the communication room.

After Kitamura Junyi walked away, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi: "It's so ordinary, if Miyamoto Taro's next battle is too rubbish."

"No wonder I punished him next!"

Michi Miyano nodded and said: "The commander said so.".

"This matter is over for the time being. Now, Miyano-kun, let's talk about the battlefield observation group and His Royal Highness!"

Yoshino Shinozuka said something, then waved his hand, signaling to a devil's confidential staff officer in the command room of the headquarters to bring over a telegram document, handed it to Miyano Michiichi, and then said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the field observation team from Yanjing City wants to observe the special operations effects of Yamamoto's special forces. It's easy to say. Let Yamamoto Kazuki command his special forces to carry out a surprise attack on the command organization of the Eighth Route Army. That's it."

After reading a telegram document that Shinozuka Yoshinan asked his confidential staff to hand him, Miyano Michiichi felt that it was quite troublesome and said: "This is not a big problem.".

"It's just why His Royal Highness Fushimi Palace came with the observation group. Didn't the general of the front army persuade His Highness not to come here? The front line is not a joke."

Shinozuka Yoshinan heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "There is no other way."

"His Royal Highness Prince Fushimi Miya Toshihiko has already started flying from the mainland of the empire to Yanjing City. Originally, he was sitting in the Front Army Command in Yanjing City with Your Excellency the General. It's just Your Excellency the General. Send a report to the headquarters of the First Army, and let us welcome His Royal Highness to Taiyuan City in eight days."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued, "If Fushimi Palace knows about the war in Northwest Shanxi, he will definitely go to Northwest Shanxi to watch the battle."

"What does the commander mean?"

Michihiko Miyano felt helpless, Fushimi Miya Toshihiko was a child of the royal family and was born in a noble family.

Miyano Michiichi knew the nature of Fushimi Miya Toshihiko, he loves to be lively.

If it is known that the Imperial Army has lost elite units such as the Sakata Regiment during the battle in the northwest of Shanxi, it will definitely be of great interest.

At that time, Prince Toshihiko Fushimi is very likely to request to go to the front line in Northwest Shanxi.

In this way, the danger is very high. At that time, Shinozuka Yoshinan could not keep 100% Fushimi Miya Toshihiko's safety.

"Eight days later, the battlefield observation group will come to Taiyuan City with His Majesty Fushimi. At that time, we need to drag His Majesty Fushimi to Taiyuan City, and don't let His Highness know the situation of the war in the northwest of Shanxi."

Yoshino Shinozuka said.

"That's hard to say, Commander."

Hearing this, Miyano Doichi said helplessly: "Four or five days later, when the 40th Infantry Regiment finally arrives in Jinghai County, Miyamoto Taro will command the newly increased Yamazaki Brigade and other units to counterattack the Jinsui Army 303 Headquarters of the regiment."

"At that time, when a brigade of troops is concentrated to fight back, the headquarters will also pay attention to it at that time. If the military information coming and going is conveyed, if the Fushimi palace is wandering around the headquarters at that time, it is not necessary to hide it from His Royal Highness. easy."

Shinozuka Yoshino said in a concentrated voice: "Try to hide it as much as possible."

"Even if His Highness the Prince finds out by then, he will have to trouble Mr. Miyano to take His Highness in Taiyuan City."

Seeing this, Miyano Michiichi thought for a while, if Prince Fushimi Miya Toshihiko had been watching the battle in Taiyuan City after he arrived at that time, then there would be no problem.

If you go out of the city and go to the front line in the northwest of Shanxi, or the front line in the southeast of Shanxi to watch the battle, it will definitely not work.

"Please rest assured, Commander, I will personally drag His Royal Highness to Taiyuan City."

Miyano Michi gritted his teeth and promised.

"Then it will be hard work for Miyano-kun."

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan smiled and said, "As long as His Royal Highness stays in Taiyuan City until then, there will be no big problem."

"Hey, why didn't Your Excellency the General of the Front Army Command drag His Royal Highness to Yanjing City!"

Miyano Michiichi didn't answer, but he thought in his heart that the General of the Front Army Command doesn't want to be troublesome!
"Have someone send another telegram to Taro Miyamoto, ordering Taro Miyamoto to give him the support of the 105mm howitzers of the two artillery squads. For the next battle, let him send me a telegram as soon as possible when His Royal Highness and the field observation team arrive in Tai Get rid of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army before Yuancheng."

After thinking about it, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi.

"In this way, when there is no major incident, His Royal Highness Prince Fushimi will only be able to drink and chat with the commander in Taiyuan City."

Miyano Michiichi answered the words.

"almost!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said.

"Yes, Commander!"

Miyano Michi nodded, and then asked someone to send a message to Communications Staff Junyi Kitamura, who then sent a message to Miyamoto Taro.

At this time, in Jinghai County.

Command Room of the Fourth Brigade Headquarters!

"Huhuhu!!!"

Shouting a sigh of relief secretly, Taro Miyamoto handed the reply telegram he had just received from the headquarters to Colonel Ikeda Kenjiro, Chief of Staff, and said, "Unexpectedly, Your Excellency the Commander did not reprimand us and wanted to support us.".

"Moreover, four 91-type 105mm howitzers were assigned to us at once, and the large-caliber artillery of two artillery teams. Now, it is enough to suppress the 303mm artillery of the 75rd regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Chief of Staff of the Fourth Brigade Kenjiro Ikeda also nodded after reading the telegram, and said: "Your Excellency General said so.".

"In this way, when these howitzers arrive here, they can be mounted directly on the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge and carry out long-range bombardment of the Huting stronghold. There will be no problem at all."

Taro Miyamoto nodded. The Imperial Army's Type 91 105mm howitzer can have a maximum range of 10800 meters, which is more than ten kilometers.

The distance from the north bank of the Xiushuihe Bridge to the Huting stronghold is about eight kilometers.

Putting these howitzers on the north bank of the Xiushuihe Bridge, and then conducting long-range bombardment of the Huting stronghold, there is no problem at all.

"Then wait until these howitzers arrive, let them go directly to the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge and build an artillery position. At that time, they can bombard the Huting stronghold at any time."

Taro Miyamoto gave instructions to Kenjiro Ikeda.

"Understood, Your Excellency the General."

Ikeda Kenjiro nodded and said.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!"

At this moment, the sound of quick steps came from the communication room of the brigade headquarters.

I saw Major Inaba Jiro, the Communications Staff Officer of the Fourth Brigade Headquarters, strode out, walked up to Taro Miyamoto and Kenjiro Ikeda, stood at attention and saluted, and said, "Your Excellency General, Chief of Staff, the headquarters will send another telegram."

"Um!!!"

Miyamoto Taro nodded, then took the telegram from Inaba Jiro and read it.

It's just that the more he looked, the more serious his expression became.

Seeing this, Kenjiro Ikeda who was sitting across from him put away his smiling face and asked in a concentrated voice, "Your Excellency General, what's the matter?".

"Look! Ikeda-kun!"

Miyamoto Taro handed the telegram to Ikeda Kenjiro, but said with a serious expression.

"The battlefield observation group is easy to say, it has little to do with us."

Colonel Ikeda Kenjiro, who received the telegram and read it, said with solemn eyes: "But it is really possible that His Royal Highness Prince Toshihiko Fushimi will know about the fighting here in Northwest Shanxi, and His Highness may really come to watch the battle.".

"No wonder, Your Excellency Commander sent another telegram, ordering us to destroy the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army and kill Xu Rui before His Highness arrives in Taiyuan City!"

"Your Excellency, the time for the counterattack must be within two or three days after the start of the battle, that is, before His Royal Highness and the field observation team arrive in Taiyuan City, the counterattack against the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army must be ended."

Miyamoto Taro nodded, and said in a concentrated voice: "The pressure suddenly increased.".

"I don't want His Royal Highness to come here. After all, there are still dangerous situations here on the front line. Once His Royal Highness has an accident in a place under my control, you and I will really have to cut open our stomachs."

Ikeda Kenjiro nodded, and then said: "Your Excellency, General, then we are sending a special report to the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, urging the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, Takali Kenichiro, to lead his troops to come to Jinghai County as soon as possible.".

"Okay, the wording should be softer. After all, Colonel Takali Kenichiro's 40th Infantry Regiment is here to assist us in dealing with the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Miyamoto Taro reminded, said.

"Your Excellency the General said so."

Ikeda Kenjiro nodded, and immediately waved to Major Inaba Jiro, the communications staff officer, and said, "According to the instructions of Your Excellency the General, send a report to Colonel Takali Kenichiro, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, and gently urge him, and ask Takahiro Kenichiro to lead his troops to hurry up." To Jinghai County."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Inaba Jiro nodded, then turned and left.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the 40th Infantry Regiment to arrive in Jinghai County, we will concentrate on the northward counterattack! Next, we must eradicate Xu Rui's troops, leaving no one behind."

Miyamoto Taro sneered murderously.

"Your Excellency, we will succeed."

Ikeda Kenjiro is also full of confidence, with the support of large-caliber 105mm howitzers, plus the reinforcements from the 40th Infantry Regiment and Yamazaki Battalion, the small 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army, and its small body can carry the imperial army. Violent counterattack?
