Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 126
Zhao Gan thought for a while after hearing what Captain Zheng said, and said, "This matter must be reported, and the matter of gas bombs is no longer something you and I can handle!"

"Well, you are right, then let's jointly report this matter!"

Afterwards, Zhao Gan discussed the content of the report with Chief Zheng, and after confirming that he did not miss any details.Zhao Gan called Liu Gang in: "Gangzi, send someone to send this report to the nearest unit with a radio station and report it to the brigade headquarters!"

Liu Gang took the report, saluted Zhao Gan and Commander Zheng and said, "Yes, Commander!"

Taiyuan Shinozuka Yoshio Office:
Yoshio Shinozuka leaned back in his chair, thinking about how to take down the position east of Yuci. It is impossible for the heavy artillery to be sent there again. He has already lost a 105 howitzer regiment. If he loses another regiment, even he will be held accountable;

The group of planes also have a way to deal with it, they can only drop bombs from high altitude, but the location of the position is a mountain ridge, and the top is full of stones. Without the accurate coordinates of the aerial bombs, it is impossible to destroy their position. Forcibly destroying their positions, even the reserves of the First Army will also be severely damaged;

The special bombs didn't seem to be of much use to them. Today's weather is so suitable for special bombs, but it didn't cause any damage to them;
Since you can't take advantage of it, then attack by force!
Shinozuka Yoshio, who made up his mind, shouted to the guards outside the door: "Go and invite Nakamura-kun here!"

"Hi!"

A few minutes later, Yu Nakamura, Chief of Staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army Jin Province, walked in and said to Yoshio Shinozuka, "General, you are looking for me!"

After hearing Hiroyuki Nakamura's voice, Shinozuka Yoshio slowly raised his head, and said to him: "Mr. Nakamura, the Empire has lost nearly 9000 troops on the Yuci battlefield. Now there are three regiments there, and the remaining imperial army is less than one regiment. There are only two brigades left, most of which are special types of engineers and artillery. Do you have any good ideas?"

Hiroyuki Nakamura thought for a while and said: "General, there is no need for the Kumagai United, Hamada United, and Murata United teams to exist anymore. In my opinion, let's directly mix them into a new alliance!"

After hearing Nakamura Hiroyuki's words, Shinozuka Yoshio fell silent. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, just do as Nakamura-kun said! But who will be the captain of the alliance?"

Hiroyuki Nakamura said directly without hesitation: "General, I think Keiji Iwatani, the current captain of the Kumagai United, can be the captain of this new alliance!"

"Oh! What's the reason? What about Hamada Eihito?"

Hiroyuki Nakamura sneered and said: "General, I got news that when Murata May was directing the attack, Keiji Iwatani had some suggestions at the beginning, but Murata May just ignored his suggestions;

And when Hamada Eihito just arrived at the Yuci battlefield, Iwatani Keiji took the initiative to merge the artillery squadron in his hand into the artillery brigade of Hamada United, just to have a better command!

As for Hamada Eihito, the patrol brigade, garrison brigade, air defense force, and tank squad at Taiyuan Airport can be reorganized into a mixed wing, and he will be the candidate for the leader of the wing! "

After hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio said suspiciously: "Nakamura-kun, the empire has never had a mixed formation of alliances. Tell me how to mix them together?"

"General, just mix them together. As for the numbers, they are directly called the Airport Defense Wing. The reason is that once the airport is attacked, they can be effectively commanded!"

Shinozuka Yoshio thought about the reason given by Hiroyuki Nakamura and said: "Mr. Nakamura, I agree with this proposal. You can apply to General Okamura later. As for the formation of the lesser regiment, report it to General Okamura as well!"

"Hi!"

After this problem was solved, Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "Nakamura-kun, do you have any solution to solve the Yuci battle?"

Hiroyuki Nakamura frowned and said: "General, I went back and carefully studied the battle situation on the Yuci battlefield. I have no choice but to attack!"

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed and said: "Oh, let's attack by force. When you give the order later, let the troops rushing to Yuci to support them speed up a little bit. The Zhengtai Line can't wait any longer!"

"Hi!"

386 Brigade Headquarters:
The brigade commander fell silent after receiving the report from Zhao Qian and the head of the regiment Zheng. The chief of staff next to him saw it and asked the brigade commander, "Old Chen, what's wrong? Did the Second Independent Regiment and the 771st Regiment fall?"

The brigade commander didn't speak, but handed the report in his hand to the chief of staff, motioning him to read it for himself!
After the chief of staff took the telegram and read it roughly, his expression became gloomy, and he said to the brigade commander: "Old Chen, it's not up to you and me to make a decision. The battle has only started a few days ago, and the little devil has already started to use gas bombs. This information must be reported up, and at the same time, notify the troops below to prepare!"

The brigade commander nodded and said: "I know this, what I'm thinking about is the method Zhao Gan and the others mentioned in their report to deal with the little devil's gas bomb!"

Since the chief of staff just took a rough look and didn't notice that the two men mentioned how to prevent the little devil's gas bombs, so after hearing what the brigade commander said, he picked up the report again and read it carefully!
After reading it, the chief of staff was surprised and said to the brigade commander: "Is what they said true?"

"It should be true, as you have seen. Their report contains detailed battle history; the updraft generated by the burning of the flames prevented the little devil's poisonous gas from spreading close to the ground, and then the little devil was sent back to his hometown directly while the Japanese army was close to the grenades, explosives, and light and heavy machine guns!"

"Old Chen, what are you waiting for, hurry up and submit this report!"

"No, what are you in a hurry for, Chief of Staff, think about it, the little devils have used various weapons on the Yuci battlefield and failed to take down Zhao Gan's two positions. I predict that they will face a steady stream of strong attacks from the little devils in the following battles!"

"Then what can we do! Do you still have troops to send reinforcements? You must know that the casualties in Xiyang are much greater than the two of them!"

"I don't have troops to reinforce them! But the little devils have already given up small and medium-sized strongholds and bunkers. Our logistics recruits can supply them smoothly!"

"Old Chen, the reason why those recruits were not assigned was because they were training for the troops to quickly resume combat training after the end of the first phase! You want them to go to the battlefield now, will the division commander and the chief agree?"

"Then what should we do? Let's just watch their four regiments resist the attack of tens of thousands of little devils?"

After hearing what the brigade commander said, the chief of staff didn't know what to say and could only keep silent.

After the brigade commander saw that the chief of staff no longer refuted, he said to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, send a report to the division commander in my name, saying that I request to mobilize the logistics department to pick out 4000 recruits for me from the trained recruits. I want to add them to the independent second regiment, 771 regiment, 772 regiment and the new regiment!"

The chief of staff saw that the brigade commander was determined to ask for someone from the division commander, so he had no choice but to agree. After all, the brigade commander is the supreme commander of the 386 brigade!

Yuci Battlefield, Headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment:

After Zhao Gan sent the report, he said to Head Zheng: "Head Zheng, you kid, you have tried all the methods now, but you still haven't taken the positions of our two regiments. I predict that they will attack by force in the future!"

"Hey, that's what I thought too. The three regiments that arrived here have already been disabled, but there will be more devils in the future. If they take a strong attack, even if we wait until the stipulated time, we don't think there will be many troops left!"

"If there is no way to keep it, you have to keep it. If the little devils are allowed to continuously transport the devils from the west of Jin to the east of Jin, then the brigade commander will be in danger!"

"Yes!"

The Imp Camp Down the Mountain:

After receiving the order from Yoshio Shinozuka, Keiji Iwatani and Eihito Hamada fell into deep thought, not knowing whether they should be happy or distressed!

The first is Keiji Iwatani. The reorganized regiment has a brigade and two squadrons of mountain artillery, but the number is too small after all. Except for the artillery unit, there can only be two full-staffed infantry battalions. At this time, the number of soldiers has gradually become scarce, and they are no longer replenished at any time as before.
Here, Hamada Eihito seems to have been promoted, and he controls the air defense force and the tank force, but in normal times, the brigades below are all performing their own duties, and he is not needed as the captain at all. During the war, he is only responsible for guarding the Taiyuan Airport.
The two sat together, each holding a bottle of sake in their hands, and they were drinking each other. While drinking, Hamada Eihito said to Keiji Iwatani: "Iwatani-kun, I will leave these soldiers in my hands to you from now on, and I will go back to enjoy life. If you go to Taiyuan someday, you must ask me for a drink!"

"Don't worry Hamada-kun, don't you worry about my behavior? Besides, they will all be my subordinates in the future, and I will definitely treat them sincerely;

If I go to Taiyuan, I will definitely ask you to have a few drinks. You must prepare sake from your hometown and wait for me to come! "

"must."

The two of them fell asleep while drinking!
After the morning battle, the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain and the 771nd Independence Regiment and the [-]st Regiment at the top of the mountain formed a delicate peace;

The remaining Japanese troops were already powerless to attack, and Zhao Gan and Commander Zheng didn't want to go down the mountain to encircle them and increase casualties, so before the reinforcements from other areas arrived, there would be no more wars in this position, and a deformed peace was formed up and down the mountain!

On the evening of the next day, Xugou's garrison arrived at the battlefield. Because they also had only one regiment of troops, these Japanese troops chose to stand still and continue to wait for the arrival of garrisons from other places!
At noon on the third day, the garrison at Qi County, at night at Qingxu, at Jiaocheng on the fourth morning, at Wenshui at evening, and at noon on the fifth day, at Fenzhou Prefecture.

Fenzhou Prefecture is an important hub for Taiyuan and Pingyang Prefectures, so the Japanese army has two brigades garrisoned there, responsible for stationing various strongholds in peacetime, and supporting Pingyang, Taiyuan, Huozhou and other places in wartime.

So this time the Fenzhou government sent over to support the Zhengtai line was a mixed brigade, the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Jin Province;

It consists of 5 infantry brigades (about 800 people), 1 artillery brigade, communication troops, supply troops and all other troops, with about 5000 people.

所以现在独立二团和771团需要面对的就是新编岩谷联队（3000人）联队长岩谷启司、徐沟驻军西村联队（3800人）联队长西村大地、祁县驻军高野联队（3600人）联队长高野忠广、清徐驻军吉冈联队（3800人）联队长吉冈显氏、交城驻军滨野联队（3800人）联队长滨野泰宏、文水驻军村山联队（3600人）联队长村山亮太再加上汾州府的驻军独立第二混成旅团（5000人）旅团长安井武弘，一共是26600人左右。

After Yasui Takehiro arrived, he called all the captains who had already arrived and said: "Everyone already knows the order of General Shinozuka. It is the group of Tuba roads on the mountain. They have blocked the empire for nearly 10 days. Everyone has a good rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, we will take a strong attack to open the way for the follow-up troops;

Tomorrow's attack, each company will send a brigade to attack the front positions one by one. The positions will not be broken, and the charge will not stop;
Did you hear it all? "

"Hi!"

"Go down and rest!"

On the mountain, Zhao Gan and Commander Zheng watched the number of Japanese troops down the mountain getting more and more day by day, and they were also a little anxious. They roughly calculated that there were nearly 3 Japanese troops down the mountain.

And judging by how they are rectifying, it is estimated that they should attack tomorrow!
After seeing the situation of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain with a telescope, Zhao Gan said to Yu Shan, "Oh, Yu Shan, nearly 3 little devils have gathered at the foot of the mountain. It looks like they won't wait any longer. They probably will attack tomorrow. You go and call the three battalion commanders, Niudan, and Li Li!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Ten minutes later, Yu Shan came in with Zhang Zhong and others; Zhao Gan saw them and said to them, "Sit!"

After the few people were seated, Zhao Gan said directly: "Looking at the actions of the little devils, I guess they will start attacking tomorrow morning. I have a hunch that once the attack starts, they will not stop;
Therefore, the blocking troops must be rotated, and a company can block for a maximum of 3 hours;

Sniping starts with the 2nd Battalion, then the 3rd Battalion.Finally, the 1st Battalion;
After the little devils start to attack, the mortars we haven't used will also help you stop them, because we only have 5 guns, and the shells are not very sufficient, so don't hold out too much hope;
However, the brigade commander has supported us with 1000 recruits, all of whom have already completed the recruit training and can go directly to the battlefield. They will arrive tomorrow. After each company is withdrawn, the casualties will be replenished directly;
The casualties of the first battalion will be replenished directly when the recruits arrive! "
