People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 10 Different Responses

As night fell and the lights came on, the brigade headquarters of the Fourth Field Brigade of the Japanese Army was in the middle.

Major General Yoshio Uejima, head of the brigade, stood in front of the map, his eyes showing strong dissatisfaction.

The Fourth Brigade belongs to the Strategic Mobile Operations Corps of the First Army, and they have strong combat effectiveness.

After capturing the headquarters of the Eighth Route Division this time, Yoshio Uejima decisively dispatched Shintetsu Sakata to command the Third Wing to attack.

In Yoshio Uejima's view, if an elite unit wants to destroy their division headquarters, there must be no problem.

However, here in Cangyun Ridge, the Sakata Alliance was blocked, and they were still unable to break through quickly, which made him very dissatisfied.

You must know that the Sakata Alliance is an elite alliance, and Yoshio Uejima will definitely not accept such a result.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Third Regiment has sent an urgent call!"

At this time, the chief of staff of the brigade came to the brigade headquarters in a panic, and hurriedly reported.

Hearing that it was the telegram sent by the third unit, Yoshio Uejima smiled slowly on his face.

"Sakata Shinzhe is still capable. Have they already broken through the blocking position?"

"It's wishful thinking for those who want to stop the elite alliance of the empire."

"What's the matter, have they captured and wiped out the Eighth Route Division headquarters?"

"These scumbags are very cunning. If we can achieve results this time, the military headquarters will reward us."

Yoshio Uejima turned his head and asked with a smile on his face.

But as his voice fell, Uejima Yoshio noticed the facial expression of the Chief of Staff, and he realized that something was wrong.

The chief of staff of the lieutenant assistant was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only bite the bullet and handed the telegram to Yoshio Uejima.

Yoshio Uejima took the telegram and checked it in a hurry.

When he saw the content of the telegram, he froze for a while, his face full of disbelief.

"This...how is this possible? The Mountain Artillery Squadron was devastated and the Wing Headquarters was destroyed."

"General Nobutetsu Sakata, Lieutenant General Uratomo and other members of the regiment are all broken!"

"Baga, what are the three infantry brigades under the Third Regiment doing!"

"This group of idiots can't guarantee the safety of the regiment headquarters, Baga!"

Yoshio Uejima just saw these situations, he completely lost his mind, and shouted angrily.

"Your Excellency, Head of the Brigade...the headquarters of the Third Regiment and the Shanpao Squadron directly under it are suspected to have been violently shelled by the Jinsui Army, which is why there were such casualties."

"The three infantry brigades under the Third Regiment were attacking the Eighth Route Army with all their strength at that time, so...that's why the artillery of the Jinsui Army found a chance."

"Those... those Tuba Roads have a strong will to fight, and they blocked the main attack of the third wing with their inferior forces."

The chief of staff of the lieutenant officer lowered his head and reported intermittently.

Yoshio Uejima gritted his teeth and glanced at the map, and then he carefully checked the content of the message.

At this time, the third regiment (Sakata regiment), except for the Shanpao Squadron, was severely damaged, and the regiment was completely destroyed.

The three brigades fought one after another, and there were also hundreds of casualties.

Seeing this scene, Yoshio Uejima's eyes spurted out even more anger.

"How could the artillery of the Jinsui Army have such strength, they cannot achieve precise bombardment."

"They will only set up exposed positions and conduct direct shooting. Even if they make changes, they will not be able to master advanced artillery tactics in a short time."

"Who is it that severely damaged the Mountain Cannon Squadron and destroyed the Sakata Regiment Headquarters? This must be found out!"

Yoshio Uejima came to the map with a livid face, and he couldn't bear such a loss.

More importantly, he is responsible for such casualties and battle results.

"According to the report, the artillery shells were first fired from the position of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, graduated from the fifth phase of Whampoa, and is a so-called disciple of the Son of Heaven."

"Most of the commanders of the Central Army fighting in Jin Province are his Huangpu brothers and instructors."

"So from this point of view, it cannot be ruled out that they were supported by artillery from the Central Army."

"After all, the artillerymen of the Central Army were the first to receive German education, and they can do this."

"And we are currently in contact with the Jinsui Army. The Central Army's move is completely in their interest."

The chief of staff of the lieutenant officer pondered for a while, and he began to analyze and said.

Yoshio Uejima nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Order, Eguchi Hachiro takes over the command, the third regiment rests overnight in the Cangyunling area, and then launches an attack on the 358th regiment!"

"Tuba Road is very cunning, they have left the battlefield, it is very difficult to find them!"

"Annihilate the 358th regiment, shake the mountain and shake the tiger, let them know how powerful our imperial army is!"

Yoshio Uejima had an indifferent expression on his face, and he gave the order directly.

This incident shocked him a lot, so he wanted to completely annihilate the 358 regiment.

Of course, the little devil felt that the artillery of the Jinsui Army did not have such capabilities, and they must have been supported by the artillery of the Central Army.

The Headquarters of the Fourth Field Brigade immediately began to issue orders, and the Third Wing received orders here and began to prepare.

At the same time, in the General Headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Jinsui Army.

Commander-in-Chief Zhao Yinfu took the telegram sent by the 358 regiment, sat on a chair with a gloomy face and said nothing.

The Seventh Army is subordinate to the 33rd Army, 34th Army, and directly under the 358th Regiment.

The Jinsui Army is a small-scale unit. The normal field regiment has three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction, directly under the communication platoon and mortar company, with a total strength of 700!

Of course, because of the existence of empty pay, in fact, each regiment has only 500 troops.

A few years ago, the Jinsui Army used the brigade as its combat unit, and its main infantry brigade would have more than 4000 troops.

Although the 358 regiment has 5000 people, it is still organized at the regiment level. There is obviously a story in it.

Even though Chu Yunfei is Yan Laoxi's fellow from Jin Province, he is a student of Huangpu after all.

Now that there are a large number of Central Army in Jin Province, Chu Yunfei's identity is naturally a little embarrassing.

Yan Laoxi was very suspicious. He obviously reused Chu Yunfei now, but he was also on guard.

After all, if Chu Yunfei continued to expand and eventually led the Jinsui Army to turn to the Central Army, then Yan Laoxi would lose more than he gained.

And this kind of thing has already happened.

"Chu Yunfei is so courageous. He mobilized troops without authorization to support the eight-way battle, and he wanted to give credit to the artillery!"

"It's simply wishful thinking, how does his little regiment leader know the grand plans of Chief Yan!"

"Now he has destroyed one of the little devil's regiments. If Sakata Nobuzhe is killed, won't this make the little devil hate our Jinsui Army?"

"What does he want to do? Does he want the little devil to kill our Jinsui Army, and then he helps the Central Army enter Jin Province?"

Zhao Yinfu slapped the telegram on the table suddenly, and said in a cold tone with a cold face.

Zhao Yinfu, Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Group Army of the Jinsui Army, is one of Yan Laoxi's thirteen Taibao, ranking seventh, and has won the trust of Yan Laoxi.
