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

Chapter 381 Removal and Replacement!

"Bageya Road, Bageya Road, hateful, hateful!"

In the original devil's defense headquarters in Zhenting City, Takeshita Taro cursed with a gloomy face.

Unexpectedly, the enemy troops commanded by Xu Rui and Li Yunlong had quietly withdrawn before the reinforcements arrived at Zhenting City.

Now, it is impossible to catch up.

A large number of enemy troops retreated from the mountain roads and small roads in the deep mountains and dense forests on the right side of the road. The scouts had already reported to him. And it is easy to find an ambush by the enemy in the deep mountains and dense forests.

In this way, after passing the road between Xiangji Temple and the mountain where Wangyouting is located, Takeshita Taro could only rush to Zhenting City, and join forces with the troops of the 39th Brigade Commander Shigeto Kenjiro in the city.

Otherwise, is it true to send troops to follow the enemy into the deep mountains and dense forests?

What's more, it will be dark in less than an hour, and it is not suitable to pursue at this time, and it is easy to encounter an ambush by the enemy.

After all, the troops of Xu Rui and Li Yunlong are extremely skilled in night combat.

There is no way but to give up the division of troops to pursue.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"

After meeting with Taro Takeshita, the commander of the 39th Brigade of Devils standing on one side below, saw that Taro Takeshita returned to the former headquarters of the devils in Zhenting City and cursed the enemy in a rage. asked.

Of course, I laughed at Taro Takeshita in my heart.

After all, the loss of soldiers and generals has reached more than 8000 people. This "record" really makes Kenjiro Shigeto unbelievable.

When did the imperial army's elite troops become vulnerable?

Takeshita Taro couldn't know the contempt and ridicule of Shigeto Kenjiro who was standing below now, but said bitterly: "Shigeto-kun, it will be dark in less than an hour now.".

"At this time, the enemy army has been withdrawn for more than ten minutes. We divided our troops and chased into the deep mountains and dense forests. It is very easy to encounter enemy ambushes. The troops of Xu Rui and Li Yunlong are very good at night combat and ambushes. The night is the biggest threat to their troops. right-hand man."

Hearing this, Major General Kenjiro Shigeto, head of the 4th Brigade of the 39th Division, understood what Takeshita Taro meant, "Understood, Your Excellency General."

"Mr. Chongteng came from afar for reinforcements. The troops and Mr. Chongteng are very tired. Let's rest in the city first!"

Takeshita Taro condensed his voice.

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

Now Takeshita Taro is still the commander-in-chief of the front line, Shigeto Kenjiro came for reinforcements according to the order of the headquarters, so naturally he still accepts the command and orders of Takeshita Taro.

Even if he complained in his heart and despised Takeshita Taro's sturdy "record", he still obeyed on the surface.

After all, offending Takeshita Taro for no reason would not do him any good.

Takeshita Taro is still the commander of the 41st Division, and his rank of lieutenant general is one level higher than his rank of major general.

"Yoshi, Shigeto-kun, go down and rest!"

Seeing that Shigeto Kenjiro still obeyed his order, Takeshita Taro secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said immediately.

"Your Excellency, I will resign from my humble position!"

Shigeto Kenjiro paused heavily, then turned around and walked out of the house slowly.

After Shigeto Kenjiro went out, the communications staff officer of the 41st Division, Kazuo Tachibana, Shaozuo reported: "The commander of the division, the mountainous area where Wangyouting and Xiangji Temple are located, as well as Jiujiangpo, have been divided into troops and controlled.".

"Scouts were also sent out around the city of Zhenting to investigate a range of three kilometers, but no large numbers of enemy troops were found. The enemy army has already withdrawn from the control area of ​​Zhenting City."

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro nodded solemnly, and said: "Yo Xi, Tachibana-san did a good job.".

"The Chief of Staff, Yu Sui, is in Mingjia Town. You will also be in charge of the communications staff, and you will also be the chief of staff of the 41st Division!"

Tachibana Kazuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said heavily: "Thank you for the cultivation, head of the division.".

"The humble job will definitely be loyal to the head of the division."

Takeshita Taro waved his hand and said, "You, you are loyal to the Empire, His Majesty the Locust.".

"Yes, division commander."

Major Kazuo Tachibana quickly changed his words.

"Teacher head."

Although he was unwilling to pour water on the top of Takeshita Taro's head, he still needed to report to the First Imperial Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City about the loss of another 4000 troops in Mingjia Town.

So, Kazuo Tachibana bit the bullet and said in a low voice, "Do you want to report the situation in Mingjia Town to the headquarters?".

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro's face suddenly became gloomy, and Major Kazuo Tachibana, who was speaking, was shocked and panicked.

However, this matter is too big, [-] soldiers were lost in Mingjia Town, this matter cannot be concealed.

Now, under the command of Taro Takeshita, the 41st Division and other departments, of which the 2nd Brigade is almost completely wiped out, Major General Shibata Ichiro, the commander of the 2nd Brigade, and Major General Tada Hideki, Chief of Staff of the 41st Division, etc. The elite general was killed by the enemy.

Next, how could it be possible to continue to hide Yoshino Shinozuka and the First Army Command?
Sure enough, Takeshita Taro didn't think too long, and understood Kazuo Tachibana's meaning in less than a minute.

This is something he doesn't want to face. Up to now, not only has an enemy army not been systematically wiped out, but Xu Rui, Li Yunlong, and Chu Yunfei have collectively wiped out him in the process. More than 6000 of the more than 6000 horses under command.

Now, there are only more than 400 people left, and it seems that they still have an advantage in terms of military strength.

But judging from the surprise attack on the enemy army in Mingjia Town, his strength is no longer dominant.

However, if you add the more than 39 troops of the 600th Brigade that rushed to Zhenting City, the total force under his command is now just over 5000 troops.

The [-] troops were compared with the enemy's already known strength, and the superiority in strength was still in his hands.

But, that's not the case right now.

The enemy's combat effectiveness and firepower are no longer inferior to the troops and firepower commanded by Taro Takeshita.

Thinking of this, Takeshita Taro, who knew that the command had failed, sighed secretly, and immediately said bitterly to Major Tachibana Kazuo: "Report the battle damage to the headquarters in detail, and ask your Excellency Commander for instructions!".

"Yes, division commander."

Seeing this, Major Tachibana Kazuo was also relieved, and immediately turned and left to return to the temporary communication office, ordering the devil communication soldiers under his command to send a report to Yoshino Shinoka's First Army Headquarters.

In less than a few minutes, Shinozuka Yoshinan, who was sitting in the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City, quickly received the latest battle report from Takeshita Taro.

Just seeing this latest battle report, Shinozuka Yoshinan was furious.

"Taro Takeshita has disappointed me so much."

After reading the telegram, Yoshino Shinozuka said to the chief of staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi, with a gloomy expression: "Taro Takeshita must be dismissed, and another person will be sent to replace Taro Takeshita to command the Imperial Army troops in the direction of Zhenting City to attack Xu Ruidian, etc. Enemy forces under the command of the enemy commander.".

Hearing this, Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the Devil's First Army, took a deep breath after reading the telegram handed over by Yoshino Shinozuka with serious eyes.

In Mingjia Town, they lost another 4000 troops.

The enemy army that raided Mingjia Town was actually more than [-] people, and not only Xu Rui's other troops on the north bank of the Nanliu River, but also the Eighth Route Army troops also appeared in the Nanliu River area to participate in the battle.
