Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 666 Sprinkling beans into soldiers? (First update!)

"Dinglingling..." The ear-piercing phone rang again.

A staff officer on duty quickly grabbed the phone, rushed to the chief of staff in less than half a minute, and reported with a sullen face: "Sir, the Hushan Village stronghold in the south of Tianxin Town has been attacked, and we have lost contact now!"

"There is a garrison team in Hushan Village and a company of the Imperial Association Army. They must all be dead!"

The deputy chief of staff's face suddenly became heavy, and he even panicked: "More than 100 people were wiped out so quickly, and their offensive capabilities are too strong?"

"Also, Hushan Village is less than five kilometers away from the stronghold of Tianxin Town. There are no artillery towers in the middle, and the Eighth Route Army can kill them in an hour. Their attack speed is too fast!"

"Bageyalu, can any of you tell me where these Eighth Route Army came from!" The chief of staff panicked as he thought more and more anxiously, and asked loudly.

During the day, everyone thought that the main force of the new regiment had gone to Linfen North, but now there are so many people suddenly appearing, and the attack power is still so powerful.No matter how hard they racked their brains to find their provenance, they couldn't find any clues in the end.

The subordinate's reaction made the chief of staff hold back his anger, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only curse.

"A bunch of trash who don't know anything, what use does the empire want you for?"

Then he rushed out of the war room to find Matsumoto.

It only took Matsumoto more than ten minutes to rush in frowning: "How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army who are attacking Tianxin Town, and how are their equipment?"

"The strength is more than one battalion. The exact number is not clear. But they are equipped with infantry artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns... This was reported before the Hushan Village stronghold was destroyed."

Major General Matsumoto's temper suddenly came up: "Nani? After losing so many strongholds, the imperial army will lose nearly a hundred people. You don't even know what's going on with your opponent. What are you doing!"

The deputy chief of staff hesitated and explained: "General, please calm down. Apart from the garrison, our intelligence personnel, mobile troops, and main force in Tianxin Town are all in the north of Linfen. We can only understand some simple information through the garrison at the stronghold. Condition."

"That's not a reason!" Matsumoto continued to curse.

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer rushed over.

"General, there is an urgent call from the Tianxin Town stronghold: a large number of Eighth Route Army have appeared around them, and they have already surrounded them!"

"Did you ask for help?" Matsumoto stared at the communications staff and asked back.

The communications staff officer quickly shook his head and replied, "Not yet!"

"That's good, it shows that the Eighth Route Army that appeared outside the stronghold of Tianxin Town has not yet had the strength to threaten their safety."

Matsui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made a judgment: "The news you received at the beginning must have been the Eighth Route Army's bluff. They wanted us to divide our troops and reduce the pressure on their main force!"

"The general is wise!" The chief of staff flattered him a little.

Major General Matsumoto did not speak, and his mood was not as good as in the daytime. He frowned and sat on the stool next to him, lost in thought.

Although Tian Xinzhen's telegram calmed him down, his old rival Wang Ping's arrangement made him doubt his judgment during the day.

If the Xinyi Regiment could hide a force with such a strong attack power in Tianxin Town, it might have hidden ambushes elsewhere.

Although these ambushes will not bring a devastating blow to the imperial army, they can definitely cause heavy casualties to the imperial army, just like the Eighth Route Army that is currently attacking Tianxin Town.

A few minutes later!He reacted from his contemplation, and then made a decision: "Call back the garrison in Tianxin Town, be sure to hold the stronghold, and hold off the Eighth Route Army attacking them!"

"Send a telegram to the main force in the north of the city, telling them to end the battle tomorrow and return to their respective stations quickly!"

The chief of staff suggested, "Should we call back two squadrons first to kill the Eighth Route Army attacking Tianxin Town?"

Matsui shook his head and replied: "No, don't look at the two infantry brigades in the north of the city, but there are too many places for them to blockade. Without two squadrons, there is no guarantee that the main force of the new regiment there will be wiped out!"

"The north of the city is mountainous and hilly. Once a new group of fish slipping through the net enters this area, it will definitely be difficult to eliminate them."

"I understand!" The chief of staff responded.

"General, you want to destroy the main force of the new regiment first, and then encircle and suppress those small fish and shrimps in Tianxin Town!"

"As long as you destroy their main force and destroy their command system, those small soldiers and shrimps will become stragglers and will not be successful. It's like the general you led people to destroy the old and new regiment headquarters!"

Just as the chief of staff was about to give an order, the communications staff officer who had left for a while rushed over again.

"General, something has happened, the garrison in Tianxin Town calls urgently!"

"The Eighth Route Army began to attack the stronghold, dispatching a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns. The defenders suffered heavy losses. Request reinforcements!"

"Impossible!" Matsui was the first to stand up and retort.

"Just now I was guaranteed to be able to hold the stronghold, but now I can't hold it after only a few minutes. How could it change so quickly?"

The chief of staff also stared at the communication staff and asked: "Are you making a mistake? There are more than 200 people in Tian Xin's Zhenguang Imperial Army, which has strengthened artillery and heavy machine guns, and there is also a battalion of Imperial Association Army. The Eighth Route Army will not be dispatched." A regiment can't threaten them at all!"

The communications staff replied eagerly: "The garrison reports that the Eighth Route Army attacking them is a regiment!"

"There is also an infantry gun, at least one company of mortars, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns!"

"The gun tower at the commanding height of the stronghold has been destroyed, and many imperial troops have been killed!"

The chief of staff snatched the telegram from the communication staff officer's hand, and before he finished reading it, his face became heavy!

"General, it's true. The telegram clearly stated that there is indeed a regiment of the Eighth Route Army attacking them. If there is no reinforcement, the stronghold will be breached within half an hour at most!"

"Another regiment of the Eighth Route Army, then tell me where they came from!" Matsumoto still had a disbelieving expression.

It's not that he doesn't believe the report of his subordinates, but that he can't believe this fact.

Under the blockade and bombing of the new regiment, there should be only one infantry regiment left.But now, not only were they not dissatisfied, but two infantry regiments suddenly appeared, which was totally unreasonable.

Could it be that Wang Ping, the head of the new regiment, has the ability to turn beans into soldiers!An idea suddenly popped into Matsui's mind.

But as soon as the idea appeared, he was vetoed by himself, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"If you really have the ability to cast beans into soldiers, Xinyituan will not be blocked in the mountain by yourself for more than a month!"

Since the Eighth Route Army does not have the ability to turn beans into soldiers, one of the two main groups of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in Linfen must be a fake!
