Chapter 311 The commander is furious!
"Yes, division commander."

Tada Hideki nodded, and said with a bitter expression.

Afterwards, Tada Hideki signaled the communications staff officer, Major Tachibana Kazuo, to immediately ask his communications troops to send a report to the headquarters of the Devil's First Army in Taiyuan City to report the latest battle situation.

Five or six minutes later, in Taiyuan City, far away from the battlefield, in the command room of the Devils First Army Headquarters.

"Drum, pedal, pedal!!!"

The sound of crisp footsteps came from the communication office of the headquarters.

At this moment, Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi looked up at the same time in the command room of the First Army Headquarters, and the person who came out was still Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the Headquarters.

After the 41st Division and other divisions arrived at the south bank of the Nanliu River under the command of Takeshita Taro, until now, Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi have been waiting for news in the command room of the headquarters.

Of course, during the period, the two old devils took turns waiting for news of the war in the command room of the headquarters.

Seeing Kitamura Junyi coming out of the communication office with a bad expression on his face, Yoshinan Shinozuka felt a thump all of a sudden.

The same is true of Major General Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the First Army standing opposite him.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, General Takeshita Taro, Commander of the 41st Division. The latest battlefield news!"

Standing at attention with heavy heads, Yoshinan Shinozuka and Michi Miyano stood side by side, and Major Kitamura Junyi embraced him solemnly and said.

"Your Excellency, this is a telegram!"

After finishing speaking, Kitamura Junyi handed the telegram to Yoshinan Shinozuka.

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan accepted the telegram with a frown, and then stared at it carefully.

It's just that the more he watched the end, the old devil Yoshinan Shinozuka's face became more and more gloomy.

Miyano Michiichi, who was looking at the opposite side, also felt his heart skip a beat, "Is the war not going well?"

Before Miyano Michiichi continued to guess in his mind, Shinozuka Yoshinan had already read the contents of the telegram completely.

"Miyano-kun, take a look!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan handed the telegram to Miyano Michiichi on the opposite side, and then said angrily: "Taro Takeshita, what kind of battle is this guy fighting?".

"Actually, I really believed the words of Zhu Ziming, the director of the Xinyi Regiment who had been with me for only a few days, and sneaked across the river from Longxudu. Didn't I cross half of the river first and then see the situation on the north bank of Longxudu?"

"There are more than 2000 soldiers lost and more than 7000 elite imperial troops, and now they have lost more than [-] troops, which is really enough."

Hearing this, Miyano Michiichi immediately took the telegram and read it quickly.

After reading it, Miyano Michiichi also frowned.

"The river-crossing attack in the direction of Longxudu is actually a helpless move."

Miyano Michi thought for a while, then bit the bullet and defended Takeshita Taro, and said to Shinozuka Yoshinan: "Commander, Xu Rui's troops are currently on Woyupo Mountain, and one of them was captured from the 36th Division. Howitzer Brigade, twelve 105mm howitzers.".

"So, in order to be able to cross the river, we can only carry out the river crossing operation from the distance covered by the enemy's howitzers in the direction of Woyupo. As for the place where Longxudu is to be crossed, according to the strategy sent by Taro Takeshita in the telegram According to intelligence reports, it is a ferry site that has been abandoned for hundreds of years and almost no one knows."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi continued, "I think Zhu Ziming, who joined the imperial army, should not have lied."

"It can only be that Zhu Ziming didn't know that Li Yunlong probably knew the place where Longxudu crossed the river."

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan knew that Miyano Michiichi said this to justify Takeshita Taro.

However, Takeshita Taro launched an attack on Mingjia Town from around twelve o'clock in the daytime to around one o'clock in the morning.

Although the fight was very lively, the loss of soldiers and generals has already reached more than [-] people.

In this battle, the opponent did not lose any troops, but the own side lost so many troops. It is really ridiculous to say it.

Of course, Yoshinan Shinozuka was actually prepared.

After all, before the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment, a total of more than 3 imperial troops could be eaten by Xu Rui and other departments.

Looking at Takeshita Taro's current loss in this way, it can be accepted.

What's more, it's not possible to dismiss Takeshita Taro and replace him with other generals just because he was angry with the trash he played.

If you do this, changing the generals too early will cause the army's morale to shake.

In particular, the main force attacking Xu Rui and other enemy troops this time was the 41st Division of Takeshita Taro.

The 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade are regarded as auxiliary and cooperative units.

In addition, there is no senior general in Shinozuka Yoshinan's hands who can take over the frontline army after Takeshita Taro's dismissal in an emergency.

After thinking about it, I held back my dissatisfaction with Takeshita Taro.

Shinozuka Yoshinan then waved his hands helplessly to Miyano Michiichi and said, "That's what Miyano-kun said."

"Just now, according to the telegram, the enemy army that ambushed the two infantry brigades of the 67th Infantry Regiment in the direction of Longxudu is very likely to be the troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The enemy army in that direction will definitely cross the river next. Arrive at the south bank of the Nanliu River, then detour, and kill near Mingjia Town."

"Taro Takeshita means that he doesn't seem to be afraid of the threat of the enemy's detour in Mingjia Town in the rear! Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

Miyano Michiichi pointed to the latest telegram sent by the 41st Division, and said: "But in the telegram, Takeshita Taro reported to the headquarters that he has dispatched an infantry brigade to go south to strengthen the defenders of Mingjia Town in the rear.".

"Two infantry brigades are stationed in Mingjia Town, and they have rebuilt a complete solid fortification on the basis of Mingjia Town. It is not a problem to block the attack of five or six thousand enemy troops."

Shinozuka Yoshinan shook his head and said, "You can't be careless!".

"Who knows, do the enemy troops who have eaten up two infantry brigades of the 67th Infantry Regiment in a short period of time have other heavy weapons in their hands? Can they cause a devastating blow to the remaining troops in Mingjia Town?"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued, "Taro Takeshita, it seems that it is enough to send another infantry brigade to the south to strengthen the rear defenders, which seems to be overstated."

"Being able to ambush and kill the enemy soldiers and horses of the two infantry brigades of the 67th Infantry Regiment who sneaked across the river from Longxudu in a short period of time, it is obvious that they must have weapons that can quickly eat up a thousand or two thousand elite imperial troops."

Seeing Shinozuka Yoshino's cautious treatment, Miyano Michi immediately looked solemnly, and said, "Commander, are you worried that something will happen to Mingjia Town?".

"Have to guard against it!"

Looking at the military map placed on the table in the command room of the headquarters, the location of Mingjia Town on it is very clear, Shinozuka Yoshinan pointed and continued, "This is now the rear of the imperial army commanded by Taro Takeshita. place."

"Although Takeshita Taro followed the instructions of the headquarters and used steamroller tactics to attack all the way north. But now, it is obvious that our opponent is very strong! We are still a little underestimated now."

Miyano Michiichi looked at the location of Mingjia Town on the map, with a serious expression on his face, "Commander, then call Takeshita Taro to send more troops to strengthen the garrison of Mingjia Town in the rear?"

"Ok!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yoshino Shinozuka nodded with a serious expression, and said, "Aren't there still more than [-] people in the remaining army controlled by Taro Takeshita?".

"Call back and order Taro Takeshita, in order to ensure the safety of Mingjia Town, the place where the army's supplies must pass, and send another infantry brigade to go south to strengthen the defenders of Mingjia Town in the rear!"
