Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 378 The anger of Shouichi in the temple (third update!)
At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Division in Taiyuan City, the commander of the division is eating breakfast under the service of orderlies.

Just halfway through eating, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his good mood.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something has happened!"

"The iron mine that we were attacked last night was captured by the Tuba Road. All the defenders were smashed, and the Tuba Road evacuated the entire mine."

"Nani?" The head of the division first had an expression of disbelief, and then his whole body was enveloped in anger.

"Huh la la..." He slammed his clenched fist on the table because of anger, and several plates fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Then he stared at the staff officer in front of him and asked, "Where are the reinforcements? What do the reinforcements do? Why didn't they reinforce them in time?"

The staff officer quickly replied: "The reinforcements marched all the way and arrived at the iron mine at dawn, but the battle was over by then, and the attacking Tuba Road had already retreated, emptied the entire iron mine, and even blew up the mine. !"

"That is to say, more than 2000 defenders, with a large number of permanent firepower points, under the attack of the Tuba Road, did not hold on for a night. No, not overnight. It will take time for the Tuba Road to evacuate the iron mines and retreat. The battle lasted for at most three hours!" The head of the division showed a disbelieving expression on his face, staring at the staff officer and asked back.

"Hi!" The staff officer didn't believe the result either, but in the face of the facts, he could only answer with his head down.

Seeing that the head of the division showed signs of anger again, the staff officer quickly replied: "Head of the division, I think it's not their fault!"

"The reinforcements reported that they found a large number of traces of the explosion of heavy artillery shells on the battlefield. There were hundreds of craters alone, and many imperial troops were directly killed by heavy artillery shells. This is enough to prove that the Tuba Road that attacked our iron mine last night It does have a heavy battery."

"Under the heavy artillery attack, our permanent firepower points in the iron ore are useless."

The anger on the face of the head of the division disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

He grabbed the telegram and began to browse. After finishing, the seriousness on his face was replaced by heaviness.

"Bageya Road, if Tuba Road really has a group of heavy artillery, then our policy against Tuba Road must be changed. The frontline troops confronting Tuba Road must also increase their firepower, and even strengthen some heavy artillery!"

"Order the reinforcements. Immediately find the Tuba Road that attacked us last night and confirm how many heavy artillery they have equipped. If you can destroy them, destroy them. If you can't eliminate them, let me stare at them and ask for air support. I will send bombers to blow up the Tuba Road. Heavy Artillery Unit!"

"Contact the Army Air Corps, immediately dispatch a reconnaissance plane, and under the guidance of the ground reinforcements, assist in finding this Tuba Road and their heavy artillery unit!"

"The power of the heavy artillery is really too great. If the Tuba Road sends heavy artillery to attack the strongholds we divide and surround the Tuba Road, no amount of defenders will be enough for the Tuba Road to bombard it with heavy artillery! We must find a way to destroy it, otherwise, the Empire of Japan The imperial army's deployment of troops in the entire North China may be adjusted accordingly!"

"Also, immediately report the news that Tuba Road has a heavy artillery group to the headquarters of the North China Front Army, and ask the headquarters' intelligence agency to assist in the investigation!"

The North China Front Command of the Japanese Army received the telegram, and Terauchi Shouichi was more anxious than anyone else.Immediately convene a group of confidants to think about the solution.

The chief of staff was the first to react from the shock: "Your Excellency, the heavy artillery group is a strategic force in the Imperial Japanese Army, and it will not be dispatched easily. I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army with low-level equipment would also be equipped. It's too shocking." Incredible!"

"If this is true, we must find it immediately, and then dispatch heavy troops to destroy it. Otherwise, our garrison troops on the front line may be hit by this heavy artillery force at any time."

"Also, if this is true, the Intelligence Department must immediately find out where the heavy artillery from the Tuba Road came from. As long as the channel for the heavy artillery from the Tuba Road is not cut off, even if we destroy this group of heavy artillery, the Tuba Road can form another one." Heavy artillery group!"

Terauchi Shouyi frowned, and his eyes shifted to the Director of Intelligence.

"Master Kato! What does your intelligence office do!"

"The heavy artillery group is not an ordinary unit. A heavy artillery unit must have a large number of subordinate units to form combat effectiveness. A unit with such a large target, your intelligence department has not noticed anything!"

"Please calm down, Commander. There must be something wrong here! Our intelligence personnel are all over the Tuba Road base area. If there is a heavy artillery group on Tuba Road, we can't have no news at all!" The director of intelligence replied cautiously.

"Also, heavy artillery must be pulled by cars to march, but, as far as I know, there is no organized car transport unit on Tuba Road."

Terauchi Shouichi slowly regained his composure, and quickly analyzed the intelligence director's answer and the telegram with evidence sent up below in his mind.

Unfortunately, Terauchi Shouyi didn't know who to believe, even though he was more willing to believe that Tuba Road was not equipped with artillery.

However, Terauchi Shouyi couldn't afford to gamble.

If the Eighth Route Army is equipped with heavy artillery groups, but they are not prepared, then the front-line garrison confronting the Tuba Road is likely to be devastated by the Tuba Road heavy artillery group.

For the sake of prudence, Terauchi Shouichi decided to ask the Intelligence Department to check it out.

This is a scam and there is no better.If the Tuba Road is really equipped with a heavy artillery group, no matter how much he pays, he will kill this heavy artillery unit and relieve the crisis of the front-line combat troops.

At this moment, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly thought of a task he had given to the Intelligence Department some time ago.

Ten days have passed now, but the intelligence department still hasn't found him to report.

"Kato-kun, find out the matter as soon as possible. I really believe in the capabilities of your intelligence department. Also, what is the result of the matter I asked you to investigate ten days ago!"

Kato Colonel hurriedly replied: "There is already a prospect!"

"According to intelligence, the ammunition came from the so-called logistics department of the Jinchaji Military Command of Tuba Road."

"By mobilizing our senior intelligence agents lurking in the other side's headquarters, we learned that Tuba Road seems to have created an arsenal. At present, the arsenal can already mass-produce landmines, grenades, reloading bullets, and repair firearms!"

"Nani? Arsenal!" Terauchi Shouichi frowned again.

Then he decided with a serious face: "We must find this arsenal and destroy it!"

"The Tuba Road with insufficient ammunition has already exhausted the Imperial Army of Japan. If we let them solve the ammunition problem, it must be very difficult for us to eliminate them!"

At this moment, the chief of staff next to him suddenly reminded: "Division commander, do you think the heavy artillery group that suddenly appeared on Tuba Road also came from this arsenal?"

"It's hard for people to believe this result, but Tuba Road is blocked by us in the interior, and it is impossible to get external reinforcements. Apart from producing by itself, Beiqizhen can't think of any way Tuba Road can get so many heavy artillery!"
