Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 570 The Most Worried Thing (Second Update!)

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, the Chief of Staff hurriedly knocked on the door of Matsumoto's rare room.

Facing the dissatisfied head of the brigade, although he knew that his behavior had made him very unhappy, he still bit the bullet and reported: "General, something happened at the Zhoutang Town stronghold!"

"A few hours ago, I was afraid that something might happen to the stronghold in Zhoutang Town, so I asked someone to contact me. At that time, I couldn't get in touch. I dare not be negligent. I immediately sent a telegram to the main force who went out of the stronghold, asking them to confirm the safety of the stronghold!"

"They just sent a telegram that the stronghold has been captured by the enemy, and the enemy who captured the stronghold has already retreated!"

"The food, weapons and ammunition we hoarded in the stronghold were all emptied, and a company of the Imperial Association Army also disappeared!"

"Could it be that the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment really did it? They are really hiding near Zhoutang Town, how is that possible!" Major General Matsumoto, who was taken aback for a moment, quickly realized, and then asked himself with a look of disbelief.

The chief of staff obviously wanted to know more about China, so he hesitated to answer: "General, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"There is a saying in China that the most dangerous place is the safest place. I suspect that's what the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment did. We think that the surrounding area of ​​the Zhoutang Town stronghold is too dangerous for them to hide there. And they just hid over there!"

Major General Matsumoto showed an expression of sudden realization: "Bageya Road, it must be like this. The cunning Eighth Route Army is indeed an enemy that does not play cards according to the routine!"

"Our two infantry brigades plus two regiments of the Royal Association Army encircled and suppressed the remnants of their hundreds of people. Not only did we not achieve any results, but we repeatedly lost troops and were led by them. This is simply an empire. Shame to the imperial army!"

After a vent, Major General Matsumoto's mood improved a lot.

Staring at the chief of staff, he asked: "The Zhoutang Town stronghold is a medium-sized stronghold of ours. There are five to six hundred people in it, which can last a month's combat supplies. Now these things have been captured by the Xinyi Regiment. Drag them down, battalion commander and their maneuvers!"

"As long as they send people to chase after them, there will definitely be gains, and maybe they will be able to catch up with them!"

"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.

But instead of looking better, his face became more and more solemn: "The pursuit troops report that the remnants of the new regiment that retreated from Zhoutang Town are running towards the mountain again!"

"They are marching in a hurry to pursue, and news should reach the brigade headquarters soon!"

"Go to the war room!" Major General Matsumoto was not in the mood to continue sleeping at this time.

He is very clear about the speed at which the Eighth Route Army is developing its troops. Once the Eighth Route Army sends the supplies and ammunition captured in Zhoutang Town to Dashan, and uses those supplies and prisoners, the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment will definitely continue to grow and develop.

The remnants of more than 200 people have caused their own desperation.If their strength increases to 300, 400, or even more, then it will be more difficult to eliminate them.

This is definitely very bad news for me who just took office.

As soon as he entered the war room, a communications staff officer handed the chief of staff a telegram with a very ugly expression on his face.

Major General Matsumoto's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a very bad premonition.

"General, urgent call from the First Brigade: The two strongholds on the blockade were suddenly attacked by the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment. It is the troops of the Xinyi Regiment left in the mountains. There are not many troops, but the firepower is strong!" The brigade commander glanced at them. The contents of the telegram reported frowning.

Seeing the two points quickly marked by the staff on the sand table, and thinking about the retreat direction of the Xinyi regiment after attacking the stronghold of Zhoutang Town, Major General Matsumoto could no longer calm down.

Because what he was most worried about happened.

"The Xinyi regiment retreating from the Xintang Town stronghold is really going to enter the mountain, and it will enter the mountain from one of these two points!"

"It must be!" Seeing Matsumoto drawing a line on the sand table with his baton, the chief of staff suddenly realized.

Then reacted quickly: "I'll contact the first brigade immediately and ask them to send all mobile troops to chase and intercept them. We must block them!"

"Otherwise, with the materials, weapons and ammunition they seized in the Xintang Town stronghold, not only will they not be weakened under our blockade, but they will continue to grow and develop. We must put an end to this possibility!"

"It's late!" Major General Matsumoto replied with a serious face!
"It must have been several hours since the Tuba Road evacuated from Zhoutang Town. If they really want to enter the mountain, they have already withdrawn to our blockade line. By then, they will attack inside and outside, and they will definitely be able to open a gap, and then quickly enter the mountain."

"Everything was well calculated by the Eighth Route Army. Their commanders are very smart. I really want to see who their commanders are right now. They played us around time and time again. We were exhausted and couldn't find them! "

The chief of staff's face also became heavy, but he still insisted: "I'd better send a telegram! Maybe there is still a chance to stop them. As long as there is a one in ten thousand possibility, we must not let it go!"

Just as the chief of staff was frowning and was about to leave, the communications staff officer who had just left rushed in again, his face even more ugly than before.

"What's going on!" the chief of staff asked subconsciously.

"The first brigade called urgently. The blockade was attacked by the Eighth Route Army inside and outside, opening a gap!"

"They have already sent two mobile infantry squads to rush over to block the gap as soon as possible. However, the remnants of the new regiment outside the mountain will definitely enter the mountain, and it is impossible to stop it!"

"It's over!" The chief of staff's face suddenly turned pale from livid.

Because the result he was most worried about appeared.

Immediately turned around and asked Matsumoto: "General, now the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment have supplies, weapons and ammunition, and hundreds of prisoners of the Imperial Association Army. As long as they are given time, they will definitely be able to convert the prisoners into the Eighth Route Army!"

"At that time, the strength of the remnants of the new regiment will at least double, or even more!"

"What should we do next? General please decide!"

Major General Matsumoto did not answer, frowning and staring at the map with a gloomy expression.

After a full 5 minutes, a pair of bright red eyes shot out two rays of light. With a raised brow, he said to the chief of staff next to him: "We must not wait for the new group to grow again, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain. It's all in vain!"

"Contact the captain of the Special Operations Brigade immediately, and come see me now!"

"Chief of Staff, immediately prepare a copy of all the information on the mobile units in our hands, I will use it!"

"In addition, prepare three infantry brigades' combat supplies for at least ten days, and I will call them at any time!"
