Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 400 This time is different (first update!)

At this time, Major General Tsuda was even more sure of his judgment just now.

"I understand. The reason why Tuba Road continues to divide its troops is to destroy all our small strongholds scattered in Yangquan territory through one battle. We were deceived by them again!"

"Chief of Staff, immediately confirm whether there are our strongholds around the Tuba Road after the division of troops, and immediately contact the garrisons at these strongholds. If the strongholds are no longer needed, immediately abandon the strongholds and retreat to the nearest county. You must be quick. Otherwise, the Tubal Road will surround you. They're done!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff immediately searched and confirmed on the sand table with a group of staff!

He quickly gave Major General Tsuda an affirmative answer: "General wise, there are our strongholds around these Tuba roads. However, some Tuba roads are already very close to the strongholds. It will take time for the command to issue the retreat order, and it must be too late!"

Major General Tsuda frowned, and ordered with a firm face: "Regardless of whether you have time or not, contact us now and issue an order. If you can withdraw every imperial army, we will withdraw one. Last night we lost more than 4000 troops. If the troops lose any more, our [-]th Mixed Brigade will have problems even in defending Yangquan!"

"Now I really want to understand: the battle of Tuba Road last night and tonight had only one goal, which consumed a lot of our troops. Although they don't know their ultimate goal, their goal has been achieved."

"Including tonight, in just two days, we lost nearly 5000 people!"

For Major General Tsuda, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Communication staff officers kept rushing forward to report which stronghold was attacked and which stronghold lost contact under the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

After finally surviving until dawn, several communication staff officers dispersed.

But the chief of staff came over at this time with a serious face and a list in his hand!
"Chief of Staff, the losses have been counted!" Major General Tsuda asked with a gloomy face, frowning as he could see the purpose of the Chief of Staff's visit at a glance!

"Hi!" The chief of staff replied in a heavy tone.

"Last night, although we issued the order to abandon our strongholds and shrink our troops in time, 12 strongholds were attacked before we could retreat! All twelve strongholds were captured by Tuba Road, and a total of 539 imperial troops were lost. There are 895 people in the alliance army, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition have also been lost!"

"The only thing that makes us thankful is that your evacuation order was very timely, Your Excellency, which saved us from losing at least [-] Imperial Army and Imperial Association Army!"

"Baga!" The furious Major General Tsuda shouted almost with all his strength.

After it was over, the whole person seemed to be falling apart, and instantly slumped on the seat.

However, the murderous intent and anger shot out by Major General Tsuda’s eyes did not decrease but increased. After being silent for almost half a minute, he stared at the chief of staff and asked, “Has your investigation team followed these dirt roads and determined their exact location?” !"

"Hi!" the chief of staff affirmed.

"After the battle, these Tuba roads returned to the mountains with their confiscations and hid them!"

"We must take revenge, and we must send troops to retaliate immediately!" Major General Tsuda shouted with a murderous look on his face.

Then began to issue orders: "Contact the military headquarters, request the plane to take off immediately, and bomb the place where Tubalu is hiding~"

The devils dispatched twelve bombers at once, and rushed towards a team's temporary garrison with a murderous look.

Even though there were ground reconnaissance teams firing signal flares to guide the bombing target, the bombing effect was still very poor.

The forest where a team is hiding is too dense, and everyone is scattered, even if an aerial bomb hits the target accurately, it will not blow up many people.

In the end, the Devils Army Aviation could only hastily end this meaningless bombing.

"Detachment leader, the devil's bombing caused us more than 500 casualties, of which 250 six died directly. Although the rest did not die, they basically lost their combat effectiveness!" The chief of staff of the first detachment's temporary headquarters entered the tent Reported in a heavy tone.

"The devil is taking revenge on us!" Chen Zhengxiang analyzed, frowning.

"We just ate more than 500 of them, and they turned around and killed and injured more than 500 of us with planes, which is equivalent to the battle last night that we fought in vain!"

"Chief of Staff, plus the Yangquan Independent Regiment, how many of us can continue to fight!"

The chief of staff knew there was a combat mission as soon as he heard it, and immediately replied without saying a word: "Before the operation started, we had 500 people, and the Yangquan Independent Regiment had 500, 9000 people, a total of [-] people."

"Now there are still 1000 people in the Yangquan Independent Regiment, and each of our main regiments still has 500 to 500 people. There are still [-] people in total who can continue to fight!"

"In addition, although we lost nearly 500 people. But the equipment has not decreased but increased!"

"In order to make up for the shortage of troops, I distributed all the captured heavy equipment to the regiments. Now each regiment has twelve mortars in its mortar platoon, and twelve heavy machine guns in its heavy machine gun company. The number of machine guns cannot be increased. few!"

"We still have the strength to fight!" Chen Zhengxiang replied, and his face gradually became serious.

"The headquarters just sent a telegram. There will be a major operation in the next three days. We must complete the task. If possible, we can attract some of the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City!"

"I reckon that the so-called big action at the headquarters must be related to Taiyuan City!"

"In order to complete the task, I decided to continue to consume the devils in Yangquan tonight. Their strength is already stretched. Unless they ask for help, they can only watch us attack them! Unless they are willing to abandon the counties around Yangquan and concentrate their forces Get up and use!"

"Here, tonight, gather all the main forces to attack this county and take it down."

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Major General Tsuda, who had not had a good rest for two consecutive nights, rarely closed his eyes.

But the good times didn't last long. Less than half an hour after falling asleep, the anxious figure of the chief of staff broke into his room again.

"What happened again?" Major General Tsuda frowned and asked, his tone full of exhaustion and impatience.

"General, Shouyang County has been besieged by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army. We request reinforcements!" The chief of staff reported in a shocking voice.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking them not only has Feilei cannons, mortars, but also at least ten mountain cannons. It must be the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army that has been active in Yangquan these days!"

"The Shouyang garrison reported that the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower was very fierce, the troops suffered heavy losses, and reinforcements are urgently needed. Otherwise, they will not be able to hold on for three hours!"

"Baga, what is this Eighth Route Army trying to do!" Major General Tsuda cursed loudly!Then put on the military uniform and dragged his tired body to the war room.

"Are there any troops around Shouyang County that can be reinforced?" Major General Tsuda asked as soon as he arrived in the war room.

"Yes, but the scale is too small. I suggest not to do it. Two days ago we suffered from Tubal Road's siege and aid. I'm worried that this is another Tubal Road conspiracy!"

"No, it's different this time!" Major General Tsuda shook his head and replied.

"Before we were fooled because we didn't know the strength of the Eighth Route Army. Now we know the strength of the Eighth Route Army. Only if the reinforcements are large enough, not only will they not be ambushed, but they can also eliminate the Eighth Route Army attacking Shouyang!"
