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

Chapter 342 Divide [-] troops and go south!
Half an hour later, Mingjia Town, inside the town.

After slowly withdrawing southward from the south bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge to Mingjia Town, Takeshita Taro did not immediately order the troops to continue southward.

Due to the fighting in the previous two days, more than [-] soldiers were lost.

So now the morale of the 41st Division and other devils actually has a great influence.

Therefore, after Takeshita Taro withdrew to Mingjia Town, he did not immediately divide his troops to go south.

"Division Commander, the Winter Teng Brigade cannot be contacted."

Takeshita Taro, who had just rested for a while in the temporary military tent in Mingjia Town, received the latest report on the situation in the south from the communication staff officer Kazuo Tachibana.

"Nani?"

When Taro Takeshita heard this, he frowned and said, "Can't get in touch?".

"Hay! Division commander!"

Major Tachibana Kazuo said with a serious expression: "My communications soldier has sent reports to the Futeng Infantry Brigade several times to contact the Futeng Infantry Brigade, but the radio station of the Futeng Infantry Brigade has not responded.".

"Teacher head."

At this time, Major General Tada Hideki, the Chief of Staff of the 41st Division who was listening, interjected and said in a low voice: "If this is the case, something may have happened to the Futeng Infantry Brigade as well.".

Takeshita Taro frowned and said: "Fuyuto Taro is commanding an elite infantry brigade, although the more than 300 brave men who were not afraid of death who were recruited from his infantry brigade before were all lost in the pig rush attack. .”

"But logically speaking, there are at least five or six hundred people in Futo Taro's hands now! How is it possible to lose them all so quickly?"

Knowing that Takeshita Taro understood the meaning behind him, Tada Hideki said with a wry smile: "The troops who raided the airport are Xu Rui's men and horses. After the enemy troops take down Zhenting Airport and Zhenting City, they will definitely detour and outflank the attacking The rear of the Dongteng Infantry Battalion in Jiujiangpo.".

"Under the attack from the north and the south, it is already foreseeable that Futotaro's infantry brigade will all be destroyed."

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro fell silent.

Before that, he had been telegraphing Futotaro to storm Jiujiangpo, and then went to Zhenting City and Zhenting Airport to rescue the captured Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace.

Now it seems that it was a bit of a mistake. They forgot that after the opponent took down the airport and Zhenting City, they already had enough power to outflank Jiujiangpo.

In this way, the Dongteng Infantry Brigade, which cannot be contacted now, is probably finished.

Thinking of this, Takeshita Taro felt helpless.

"Tada-kun."

After Taro Takeshita had the map opened, he pointed to the map and said to Hideki Tada: "On the way we slowly retreated south from the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, the enemy troops on the north bank of the Nanliu River did not cross the river to pursue them.".

"Our plan to set up an ambush on the retreat road failed, and now more than 3 people have retreated to Mingjia Town. Now, we must follow the commander's order and divide at least [-] troops to go south to counterattack and recapture Zhenting Airport and Zhenting City. Rescue the Xiyuan Palace."

After a pause, Takeshita Taro continued, "Just, how many troops do we need to go south?"

Hearing this, Tada Hideki is indeed an old devil who has partnered with Takeshita Taro for many years, and immediately said in a condensed voice: "Master, are you worried that ten thousand soldiers will go south and they will not be able to break through the old river slope and retake Zhenting City and its airport?" .

"yes!!!"

Takeshita Taro looked at the map and said solemnly: "It is certain that the enemy army occupying the old river slope is the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.".

"This enemy army is very powerful, and there are more than 2000 people! 100% of them came to Jiujiangpo by other routes after crossing the river from Longxudu."

After a pause, Taro Takeshita continued, "Right now, the Futeng brigade is almost definitely over."

"If we just follow the commander's wishes, it is possible to divide at least [-] troops to go south. But now, facing these powerful enemies, I'm afraid it won't work."

Tada Hideki answered at the right time: "What does the head of the division mean?".

"Divide [-] troops and go directly south!"

Takeshita Taro gritted his teeth and said, "I personally directed these 2 troops to go south, and the remaining nearly 4000 troops will be stationed in Mingjia Town."

"Deter the main force of the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army on the north bank of the Nanliu River!"

Seeing this, Tada Hideki persuaded: "Commander, I will command these 2 troops to go south!".

"Do not!!!"

Takeshita Taro waved his hand and said: "Xiyuan Palace has been captured. I must personally command the army going south to retake Zhenting City and rescue Your Highness."

"Otherwise, your Excellency the Commander after the war, there is no way to keep me!"

Hearing this, Tada Hideki remained silent.

In fact, with the current loss of troops, and during the battle with the enemy's 303 regiment and other troops, the rear has not enough troops, so that the opponent will seize the Zhenting Airport and capture Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace.

These losses and circumstances are enough for the Japanese Emperor, and Yoshino Shinozuka ordered him to be dismissed from his position as Taro Takeshita.

Now Yoshino Shinozuka ordered the troops to go south, and it was impossible for Takeshita Taro to continue watching the troops going south in Mingjia Town, he had to command them himself.

Thinking of this level, Tada Hideki remained silent and did not persuade.

"Master, here in Mingjia Town, I will personally direct the rest of the troops to stand ready."

Tada Hideki said in a solemn voice: "If the main force of Xu Rui's department on the north bank of the Nanliu River crosses the river, it is also our chance.".

"Well, Tada-kun, you just need to understand."

Takeshita Taro said: "15 minutes later, at 09:30, I commanded 2 people to go south.".

"Other troops, Tada-kun, you personally command and sit here in Mingjia Town!"

Tada Hideki said heavily: "Yes, division commander!".

"Division Commander, which of the 2 troops going south are you going to deploy?"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, and said: "All the 16th Brigade, the 2th Infantry Regiment of the 14nd Brigade belong to the first and second infantry brigades, a total of 2 people will go south with my command.".

"Other troops, Mr. Tada, you are in command of Mingjia Town, and monitor the main force of the enemy's 303rd regiment on the north bank of the Nanliu River. If Xu Rui's main force crosses the river and goes south, they will fight him here in Mingjia Town. If Xu Rui's main force does not If you cross the river and go down, then strictly guard Mingjia Town."

"Before I take back Zhenting City and its airport, and rescue His Royal Highness Prince Xiyuan Palace, Tada-kun only needs to lead the rest of the ministries to defend Mingjia Town."

Tada Hideki nodded and said, "Yes, division commander."

"well!"

Takeshita Taro nodded, and then continued to order other things to Hideki Tada.

Then, Takeshita Taro sent someone to order the 2th Infantry Regiment belonging to the 14nd Brigade to transfer the strength of two infantry brigades from it, plus all the troops of the 16th Brigade, a total of 2 people will assemble in more than ten minutes.

At 09:30 in the morning, Takeshita Taro bid farewell to the devil, Chief of Staff Hideki Tada, and then commanded [-] devils to march south along the highway.

And the 303 devils came out of Mingjia Town, and were soon seen by the second squad of the reconnaissance company under the personal command of Duan Peng, the commander of the [-]rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who was monitoring Mingjia Town.

Soon after receiving the report, Duan Peng immediately ordered the scouts carrying walkie-talkies to report to the regiment headquarters immediately.

At 33:303, on the north bank of the Nanliu River, in the headquarters of the [-]rd regiment's field bunker.

"Regimental seat, the walkie talkie report of the second unit of the reconnaissance company, [-] devils came out of Mingjia Town and marched southward along the highway at high speed."

Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303rd Regiment, walked quickly to Xu Rui, stood at attention and said, "In addition, the second squadron of the reconnaissance company reported that they also saw the suspected figure of Takeshita Taro, the commander of the 41st Division of the Devil, through the binoculars."
