Chapter 367 Troop Increase: The 39th Brigade!

Yagi Yusuke took the telegram and read it quickly, and then said with a sudden change of expression: "Your Excellency General, Xu Rui and Li Yunlong are blatantly humiliating us.".

"Moreover, the 6th Parachute Battalion has been wiped out by the enemy. No wonder our two infantry brigades failed to attack the mountain. The enemy's move of the other half of the troops on the mountain to the rear was just a move to confuse us."

Takeshita Taro nodded with a gloomy face.

Xu Rui and Li Yunlong sent out clear code radios so arrogantly, and it was clear that they also planned to provoke them.

It's a pity that Takeshita Taro is not a fool, of course he saw the conspiracy of Xu Rui and Li Yunlong, how could he be enraged and send troops to attack the mountain again?

Obviously, the opponent now has enough strength to defend the positions on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located.

Moreover, Zhenting City in the rear was safe and sound, and Xu Rui and Li Yunlong had no worries about defending the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

Now continue to storm the two mountains, just send troops to die.

Although there are 2 people going south, there are still more than 7000 people in their hands.

However, it now appears that even with the powerful artillery support of the division's artillery group, it is impossible to quickly take down the enemy's position on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located.

Thinking of this, Takeshita Taro felt extremely depressed and ashamed.

"Your troops temporarily stop attacking, retreat for a while to rest, and then wait for my order to attack the mountain!"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, and then said to Major General Yagi Yusuke, head of the 16th Brigade.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, I will obey your orders."

Seeing this, Yagi Yusuke secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Before I came here, I thought that Taro Takeshita would become angry and order his 16th brigade to continue to attack the mountain because of the failure of the attack on the mountain. Now it seems that Taro Takeshita is still sensible and was not irritated by the enemy's clear code radio.

Otherwise, I really want to cry but have no tears.

Immediately, Yagi Yusuke stood at attention, and immediately left Takeshita Taro's headquarters, and then returned to his troops of the 16th Brigade.

After Yagi Yusuke left, Major Tachibana Kazuo Tachibana, the Communications Staff Officer of the 41st Division and the Confidential Staff Officer going south, said to Takeshita Taro in a low voice: "Division Commander, what should we do now?".

"There were too many casualties, and the 6th Paratrooper Battalion was annihilated by Xu Rui's troops near Zhenting City. The situation of the 6th Paratrooper Battalion may need to be reported to the headquarters!"

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro also had a headache for a while.

Fortunately, the situation of the 6th Parachute Battalion is not actually his responsibility.

After all, he didn't know the airdrop location of the 6th Parachute Battalion before the 6th Parachute Battalion airdropped.

According to the current situation, after the 6th Parachute Battalion sent him a radio, the enemy quickly deciphered it.

Therefore, Takeshita Taro has this guess.

"Could it be that the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Xu Rui's 303 Regiment have such powerful deciphering techniques?"

Takeshita Taro guessed inwardly.

"Division head, division head?"

Seeing Takeshita Taro remain silent, Major Tachibana Kazuo bit the bullet and said in a low voice.

"It's nothing."

Takeshita Taro waved his hands after regaining his senses, then picked up the binoculars with serious eyes, and attacked the defensive positions on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

At this time, the firepower of the rear artillery group was still pouring into the two defensive positions on the mountain, blowing up clouds of smoke and dust.

It's just that, among the positions built by the enemy on the mountain, there must be bunkers to avoid artillery, such as artillery holes.

From the binoculars, Takeshita Taro saw that there were not many enemy troops on the mountain. It was obvious that after most of the attacking troops were annihilated, most of the defenders had quickly hid in bunkers such as anti-gun holes to avoid their own side. Follow-up strikes from artillery fire.

Seeing this, Takeshita Taro's face was very serious.

Xu Rui's 303rd regiment and the Eighth Route Army's new regiment are very strong in mountain defense.

"They are all elite enemy troops! No wonder the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Wing fell into the hands of Xu Rui and others before. The enemy has two brushes."

Takeshita Taro put down the binoculars, and said fearfully in his heart.

"Report the loss of more than 6 people from the 16th Parachute Battalion and the 2000th Brigade to the headquarters!"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Also, ask the headquarters for tactical guidance."

"By the way, enable another set of latest passwords."

"Yes, division commander."

Major Tachibana Kazuo was not surprised when he heard Takeshita Taro's words, but expected it.

After all, now that he is attacking the enemy's positions on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, tens of thousands of people are no longer lost. Major Tachibana Kazuo finds it difficult to break through the enemy's two mountain areas where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located. The fire from above was blocked and hit the town of Tingcheng.

Then, it is nonsense to rescue Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace.

Soon, Major Kazuo Tachibana immediately walked to the side of the temporary headquarters, and ordered the devil's communication soldiers under his command to immediately send a secret message to the devil's first army headquarters with the latest secret code.

Four or five minutes later, in Taiyuan City, in the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

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

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

Shinozuka Yoshinan, who was waiting for the situation of the battle in the northwest of Shanxi with Major General Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the First Army, immediately raised his head and looked over.

I saw Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters, come out of the communications office in a hurry, walked up to Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi, stood at attention, and said, "Report to Commander, Chief of Staff, General Takeshita Taro urgently calls."

"The airdrop of the 6th Paratrooper Battalion failed and was annihilated by the anti-aircraft firepower of the enemy Xu Rui's ambush on the ground!"

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan, who had not yet received the telegram from Major Kitamura Junyi, changed his expression greatly, and said in surprise, "Nani?".

"how is this possible?"

Major Kitamura Junyi stopped talking, and directly passed the telegram in his hand to Shinozuka Yoshinan.

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan immediately took the telegram and read it quickly.

What I didn't expect was that after reading the telegram, Shinozuka Yoshinan did not get angry, but felt that the loss of the two infantry brigades of the 16th Brigade attacking the mountain was caused by the defeat of the 6th Parachute Battalion.

After all, no one expected that the radio communication between them and Takeshita Taro would be quickly deciphered by the enemy.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the 6th Paratrooper Battalion was annihilated in mid-air by the anti-aircraft firepower of Xu Rui's troops ambushing on the ground near Zhenting City.

"Miyano-kun, look at it too!"

After reading the latest secret telegram sent by Taro Takeshita, Shinozuka Yoshinan handed the telegram to Major General Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the First Army, and said.

"Commander."

After reading the secret telegram, Major General Miyano Michiichi thought for a while, and immediately said: "This time, I really don't blame Takeshita Taro for miscalculation. No one thought that the secret parachute of the 6th Parachute Battalion would fail.".

"The loss of the only paratrooper battalion directly under my headquarters is small. The most important thing now is that the 2 horses commanded by Takeshita Taro went south from Mingjia Town to counterattack, and now there are only more than 7000 horses left. And now, late Chi can't break through the enemy's firepower on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and can't hit Zhenting City, so we can regain the initiative on the battlefield."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi continued, "Now, additional troops must be added to support Taro Takeshita."

"Otherwise, in the current situation, Takeshita Taro has actually been trapped by the enemy's north and south."

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, he immediately looked at the huge military map placed on the table in the command room of the headquarters in front of him.

"In our hands, the only troops that can be dispatched to support Taro Takeshita are the 4th Division in Huaiyang City."

Yoshino Shinozuka said.

"The 4th Brigade of the 36th Division has gone north to reinforce the Datongcheng defenders who were besieged by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment. Now, the 4th Division has left a part to defend Huaiyang City , only the 39th Brigade belonging to the division can be transferred to support Taro Takeshita."

Miyano Michiichi said immediately.
