Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 883 Tada Hayao panicked (first update!)

"Chief of staff, I suggest that these two results be reported to the headquarters and Yan'an immediately." The excited commander suggested.

"Of course it has to be reported. Maybe the results of this battle will spread throughout China tonight!" the deputy chief of staff affirmed.

Then he continued to analyze: "Also, Linfen City is the main road for the devils to communicate with the two field divisions on the front line. Now we have taken it. The devils must desperately take it back, otherwise, the two field divisions The division’s supplies can only be transported by air. However, the Little Devil’s North China Front Army obviously does not have such a strong air force transportation capacity, after all, there are 5 to [-] Little Devils on the front line!”

"So, the Japanese army will definitely deploy heavy troops to come to Fen! However, their North China Front Army is only those people. If they draw troops here, the strength of other places to encircle and suppress our Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced. This is an opportunity for our entire Eighth Route Army. To crush an opportunity for the Japanese army to encircle and suppress, the headquarters must make arrangements as soon as possible to maximize the results of taking Xiangfen and Linfen!"

"When Wang Ping comes back and asks about the specific situation, we will report it to the headquarters!"

Commander Chen replied very happily: "Okay... Waiting for Wang Ping to come back... I really didn't expect that in just a few days, Wang Ping would set up the stage and let us sing such a big show, killing the devils one after another and a brigade would still be fine." More troops!"

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, at four o'clock in the morning, except for the staff officers and guards on duty, everyone was fast asleep, and the deputy commander-in-chief was no exception.

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

The highly alert deputy commander sat up from the bed, put on a military overcoat and opened the door.

"Chief, the chief of staff sent an urgent message. They won the battle in Linfen and killed a brigade of the little devil, even the head of the brigade of the major general of the devil. They also recaptured Xiangfen County and Linfen City... "

"How is it possible?" The deputy commander's first reaction was disbelief.

He took the telegram, rubbed his eyes, and ordered after reading it twice: "Go to the war room now, immediately..."

Seeing that the staff officer on duty had marked the content of the telegram on the sand table, the deputy commander showed a very satisfied smile on his face, and then stared at the sand table.

"One hair can move the whole body, Wang Ping fought well in this battle! The little devil encircled and suppressed the encirclement of the Taiyue Military Region. With Linfen City being occupied by us, there has been a huge gap. As long as the Taiyue Military Region makes good use of this big gap , the devil's heavy encirclement and suppression of the Taiyue Military Region will be crushed by us!"

"When the Taiyue Military Region is safe, they can deploy heavy troops to reinforce the Taihang Military Region..."

"In this way, the whole anti-encirclement and suppression game in North China will come to life!"

"Immediately call back the chief of staff and let him rush to the headquarters. The materials and ammunition seized by the Xinyi Regiment in Linfen will be replenished first by the Taiyue Military Region, then by the Taihang Military Region and Northwest Shanxi Military Region. If there are more, send some to Yan'an , the conditions in Yan'an are worse than ours, and we urgently need to supplement!"

"Also, report the results of this battle to Yan'an immediately, please Yan'an consider reporting it to Chongqing! Our Eighth Route Army fought such a big battle, and even killed the little devil, a major general brigade commander, Chongqing has no choice but to express!"

The headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army located in Beiping City was brightly lit, and it was hard to see that it was the early morning in the dead of night.

Lieutenant General Hayao Tada, the commander, was woken up more than two hours ago.

When I first heard the news that Linfen City was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and Major General Kawaguchi was besieged by the Eighth Route Army in Xiangfen County.Not knowing the situation on the battlefield, he is still full of confidence in the troops under his command.

In his eyes, the Eighth Route Army is very powerful, but it is manifested in the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that the imperial army cannot defend against.

Normally, the Eighth Route Army would not even dare to fight the imperial army in positional warfare, let alone siege battles, which they were not good at.

Moreover, Linfen City is different from ordinary county towns, as it is an important traffic town on the Tongpu Railway Line.Before the imperial army occupied it, the Jinsui army, the original owner of Linfen, built a large number of fortifications relying on the city wall.After the imperial army took Linfen, it was strengthened and reinforced.Although it can't be called indestructible, it shouldn't be a problem to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

It was with this thought in mind that for the past two hours or so, Tada Hayao's face was not too tense.

However, things backfired. Major General Kawaguchi, who had just taken office for less than two months, had an accident first!
An independent mixed brigade was completely wiped out, and the head of the major general also died on the battlefield.heard the bad news.Tada Hayao was immediately stunned, and it took a long time to react.

At this time, the first idea that popped into his mind was to take revenge and kill the Eighth Route Army in Linfen.

However, far water cannot quench near thirst, and there is no army around Linfen that has this strength.

The chief of staff, who knew Tada Jun's thoughts, frowned first, and then pointed to the sand table and analyzed: "Your Excellency, we have many garrisons around Linfen, but they are all large groups, and they all have their own tasks. It is impossible to reinforce Linfen!"

"There is a mixed brigade and three field infantry regiments farther away. However, they are encircling and suppressing the so-called Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the encirclement and suppression battle has reached a critical moment. Now that they are mobilized to Linfen, the encirclement and suppression they are carrying out is only can end in a hurry..."

"No...they can't move..." Tada Hayao replied shaking his head.

"This large-scale siege is not only a matter of Taiyue, but the entire North China is taking action, and the front army has prepared for a long time before carrying it out. It must not be affected by Linfen and give up halfway!"

At this time, Tada Hayao could still maintain his sanity, frowning and thinking about the solution.

However, as the communications staff officer rushed in again in shock, he couldn't maintain his sanity.

"General, something happened to Linfen City..."

"Our contact with Linfen City was suddenly cut off, no matter how we called the other party, there was no response..."

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with their radio station!" Hayao Tada asked with his heart raised in his throat, staring at the communications staff officer.

Xiangfen can be lost, and Major General Kawaguchi can die, but Linfen City must not be lost.

If Linfen is lost, the imperial army facing the front line and the World War II zone will become a lone army, a lone army that has completely lost its ammunition supplies.

At this time, if the Jinsui Army has the courage to fight back, within a few days, the ammunition stocks of the two field divisions will be exhausted.At that time, they will face the risk of being hit hard by the World War II zone, or even wiped out.

So, when he heard that there was an accident in Linfen City, Tada Jun panicked!
