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

Chapter 285 The 4th Division goes north for reinforcements!

"Miyano-kun, take a look!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan handed a freshly released telegram from Takeshita Taro's headquarters to Major General Miyano Michiichi, the chief of staff standing opposite him, and said with serious eyes: "No wonder Xu Rui's troops dare to confront Takeshita Taro head-on. Commanded more than 4 imperial troops.".

"The strength of these helpers is not only the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but also other troops of the Eighth Route Army."

Miyano Michiichi nodded solemnly, then took the telegram and read it quickly.

In less than half a minute, Miyano Michiichi had read the contents of the telegram.

"Commander."

Miyano Michiichi said with a solemn expression: "I have a feeling, is it to encircle Wei and save Zhao?".

"Maybe it means besieging the city and fighting for aid."

Yoshino Shinozuka looked at the military map placed on the huge table in the command room of the headquarters, pointed to the military map and said with a serious expression: "The Eighth Route Army likes ambushes the most.

"It's not about besieging Wei and saving Zhao, it's about besieging the city and fighting for aid."

Saying that, Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the headquarters standing aside, and ordered: "Kitamura-san, immediately send a report to contact the garrison of Datongcheng, let them figure out, and raid Datong The enemy army in the city is only more than 1 people, and it is still more than [-] people."

"Be sure to find out the number of the Eighth Route Army unit that raided Datongcheng."

Hearing this, Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters, immediately replied heavily: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!".

Immediately, the devil's communications staff officer immediately turned around and returned to the communications office of the headquarters, ordering the devil's communications soldiers under his command to immediately send a report to the Japanese garrison infantry regiment in Datongcheng.

When Kitamura Junyi walked away, Miyano Michiichi looked at the map and said to Shinozuka Yoshinan, "Commander, whatever it is."

"The enemy's Eighth Route Army with more than 8000 elite troops raided Datongcheng, an important town in northern Shanxi. The city is at least a few days away, and there is no time to return to the rescue."

"The enemy army suddenly raided the Great Copper City, what is their intention?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan thought for a while, and said: "Maybe there is really the meaning of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. After all, Datongcheng is the location of the division headquarters before the 41st Division.".

"After the war, the 41st Division will also return to Datongcheng. What's more, Datongcheng is an important town in northern Shanxi, and the north-south railway going south directly leads to Taiyuan City."

"Anyway, Datong City is a traffic center and cannot be lost."

Seeing this, Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, do you want to order Takeshita Taro to divide a part of the East Aid Datongcheng?".

"I just said it."

Yoshinan Shinozuka shook his head, and said: "There is not enough time. It takes a few days to return to the reinforcements. When the reinforcements return to the Great Copper City, I wonder if the Great Copper City is still in the hands of the imperial army?".

"What does the commander mean?"

When Miyano Michi saw this, he looked at the map and said solemnly.

"Datongcheng is an important town in northern Shanxi. It is impossible for Takeshita Taro to send his troops back to the east."

Shinozuka Yoshino said in a concentrated voice: "So, we can only deploy additional troops to reinforce the defenders currently stationed in the Great Copper City.".

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

Before Miyano Michi could speak, there was the sound of hurried footsteps from the communication office of the headquarters.

I saw Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer who had just left and returned to the communication office, walking out of the communication office in a hurry.

"Report Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, the garrison infantry regiment defending the Great Copper City has called back. After a desperate battle, they have temporarily held the precarious west gate and south gate of the Great Copper City, and the outer city of the Great Copper City has been temporarily held. .”

Major Kitamura Junyi handed the telegram to Yoshinan Shinozuka, and reported immediately: "However, the garrison reported that the Eighth Route Army units that raided Datongcheng were the elite Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie, and Kong Jie, the head of the 28th Regiment, are all on the must-kill list of the Imperial Army."

"These are all brave generals of the Eighth Route Army!"

Hearing this, Yoshinan Shinozuka quickly read the reply telegram from the Japanese Garrison Infantry Regiment stationed in Datongcheng, and immediately said to Chief of Staff Miyano Michiichi: "Miyano-kun, the Eighth Route Army actually mobilized these two elite troops to attack Datong City." Cooperate with the enemy forces in the direction of the Nanliu River."

"It is conceivable that the enemy army indeed has plans to send troops to Datongcheng to contain and lure Takeshita Taro to divide his troops to aid the east."

Miyano Michiichi quickly read the telegram handed over by Shinozuka Yoshinan, nodded and said: "The commander said so.".

"Now, we can't even order Takeshita Taro to send troops back to Datongcheng for reinforcements. First, there is too little time. Second, it is unnecessary."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, and then said to Miyano Michiichi: "What suggestion does Miyano-kun have?".

"Datongcheng is an important town in northern Shanxi and a barrier to the north of Taiyuan City. Once Datongcheng falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the independent regiment and the 28th regiment of the enemy's Eighth Route Army may attack all the way along the railway line. Attack south. If we hit Taiyuan City, it is not impossible for the current headquarters of our First Army to be located."

Miyano Michiichi immediately said: "Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Copper City to fall.".

"Since we have almost understood the enemy's intentions, Commander, I think we can mobilize additional troops to reinforce the garrison infantry regiment of the Great Copper City."

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the current positions and locations of the troops in his hands on the sand table and the map, and his head hurt a little.

At present, the Devil's First Army under his command has various divisions, brigades, and independent mixed regiments, all of which have their own defense zones.

Moreover, Chang Kaishen's Central Army, Yan Laoxi's other units of the Jinsui Army, and other units of the Eighth Route Army fought and confronted them on various fronts.

Therefore, although Shinozuka Yoshinan has an army of 10,000+ in his hands.

However, the 41st Division and two infantry brigades with a total of more than 6000 troops were transferred to attack Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshino Shinozuka has already mobilized a lot of mobile troops.

Now, looking at the various fronts on the sand table and the map, as well as the troops in hand, it seems that there are not many imperial troops who can quickly reinforce the defenders of the Great Copper City.

"There are not many troops that can be mobilized to reinforce the defenders of the Great Copper City."

Shinozuka Yoshinan was a little helpless, only at this time did he realize that there were not many mobile troops in his hand.

Of course, if they stopped attacking Xu Rui and other enemy troops and all returned to aid, then there must be a lot of mobile troops.

It's just that it's impossible.

Miyano Michiichi also nodded, and then said: "The commander is right.".

"However, there is actually one more force that can maneuver."

After a short pause, Miyano Michiichi pointed to a location on the map, and then suggested to Shinozuka Yoshinan: "Commander, it's in the city closest to Datongcheng on the railway line south of Datongcheng. , here. In Huaiyang City, there is an entire division of the imperial army, who can quickly go north along the railway line to reinforce the defenders of Datong City!".

Seeing the location on the map pointed by Miyano Michiichi, Shinozuka Yoshinan blurted out: "Nani? You want the 4th Division to go north to reinforce the defenders of Datongcheng?".
