Southeast Shanxi, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The heads of the headquarters are also anxiously waiting for news about a new group of ambush troops.
After Li Yunlong ordered the intelligence to be sent to the ambush troops, he sent another copy to the headquarters.
So the chief of staff and the boss all knew that the Japanese heavy artillery regiment would arrive in Datong this morning.
Once the Japanese heavy artillery regiment arrives in Datong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fortunately, Boss Chen provided information, and the Eighth Route Army ambush force of more than 7,000 people set up a pocket formation in Miaoergou, waiting for the Japanese heavy artillery regiment and infantry regiment to sneak in.
The telegraph soldier from the headquarters hurriedly walked into the headquarters and gave a military salute to the boss and chief of staff:
"Report to the leader, good news about the new regiment!" Lan
When the boss and chief of staff heard the good news, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly stood up. The busy combat staff also turned around and looked at the telegraph soldiers.
The boss was about to reach out to receive the telegram, but when he reached halfway, he waved upward: "Read it!"
The telegraph soldier picked up the telegram and read loudly with joy on his face: "The enemy entered our ambush circle at 6:30 this morning. After half an hour of fierce fighting, they completely annihilated the enemy's heavy artillery regiment and the 3rd infantry regiment, and destroyed all heavy vehicles."
Armored train, destroy 0 enemy cannons, 10 heavy cannons, new regiment leader Li Yunlong!"
"good!"
"The new regiment won another battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the excited voices and thunderous applause of the combat staff at the headquarters were heard.
"Well done!" Lan
The boss was so excited that he punched the table with his fist, making a loud noise, and all the water glasses, pencils and other items on the table shook.
The chief of staff crossed his arms. Although he did not speak, the smile on his face showed that he was extremely happy at this time.
The 1st Division is known as one of the most powerful units in the Japanese army.
The heavy artillery regiment and the 3rd infantry regiment are naturally not bad in combat effectiveness.
Unexpectedly, in Miaoergou, they were completely annihilated by two battalions of the New Regiment and three regiments of the Independent Brigade in half an hour.
This is definitely a big win!
The perfect ambush terrain, the unparalleled firepower of the two battalions of the New Regiment, not to mention the Japanese 3rd Infantry Regiment, even if the Locust Guards came, they would only end up being wiped out.
Although they had expected it, upon hearing the contents of the telegram, the boss and chief of staff still felt uncontrollable excitement in their hearts.
"In order to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in each base area, I suggest that this victory be immediately reported to the entire army."
A combat staff officer suggested with excitement in his expression and tone.
The boss nodded: "This victory must not only be reported to the entire army, but also clearly reported to the whole country."
Although the Eighth Route Army is currently gaining momentum, many new basic regiment units have recently been expanded, and there are even phenomena of desertion and surrender to the enemy among these units.
The frontal troops of the Japanese Army also fought very hard. Although they barely suppressed the Japanese offensive in South and Central China, many Japanese troops were still shaken and were pessimistic about winning the war and joined the Wang Puppet Government.
It is euphemistically called saving the country through curves.
When the news of this victory spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar and can greatly stimulate and inspire the anti-Japanese morale of the entire people.
The chief of staff added: "A clear report can be sent to the whole country, but it cannot be said that it was done by the New Regiment for the time being. The New Regiment jumped to the sixth and seventh battalions of the division on the outside line. It cannot be exposed for the time being."
"That's right!" The boss looked at the chief of staff, "Immediately prepare a report for the whole country on the Eighth Route Army's complete annihilation of the Japanese 1st Division, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the 3rd Infantry Regiment in Miaoergou on the Pingsui Railway."
Japanese regiments are the same as divisions. The higher the number, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the unit.
The shadow of the famous tree, the designation of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, ranked third among hundreds of Japanese regiments, and its combat effectiveness was naturally very strong.
In addition, the 3rd Infantry Regiment also participated in the "February 26th" mutiny, but was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in Miaoergou.
During the process of cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the new regiment did not find the regiment flag of the 3rd Regiment. It was either blown up or burned by the soldiers of the squadron who were protecting the regiment flag.
No matter what the situation is, the loss of the regiment flag means that the Japanese 3rd Infantry Regiment has been completely wiped out.
This is absolutely significant.
The chief of staff smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll prepare a telegram right now."
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.
The communications staff officer held the telegram in his hand and hurried into the operations hall. He saw Neji Okamura and Seizo Arisu's faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.
At first, only the Qifeng armored train was destroyed, but then contact with the Zhuifeng armored train was also lost.
Okamura Neji and Arisu Seizo suddenly felt a bad feeling in their hearts.
However, Okamura Neiji still didn't have much to worry about. His face was dark because the information about the heavy artillery convoy was leaked.
The reason why You Mojing has a black face is because he has to pretend to be a black face. Although he is still a little confused, if he doesn't pretend, he will look suspicious.
Even if two armored trains were destroyed and the 3rd Infantry Regiment escorted them all the way, Tubal Road in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei bandit area would have absolutely no choice but to use the Heavy Artillery Regiment in a short time.
As long as the reinforcements from the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division stationed in Datong arrive, the Heavy Artillery Regiment will be completely safe.
However, when he saw the expression on the communications staff officer's face when he walked into the operations hall, Okamura Neji's heart suddenly thumped.
"Is there any news about the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment?" Lan
Okamura Neji hurriedly asked in a deep voice.
Since the Wind Chaser also lost contact, the Heavy Artillery Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment have been out of contact for more than an hour.
Even the brigade radio stations of each wing cannot be contacted. At present, the headquarters has sent a reconnaissance plane to Miaoergou for high-altitude reconnaissance.
"Hi!"
The communications staff officer looked grim and paused to report: "Captain Chida Sadao Daizuo of the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division reported that the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment...were all in pieces!"
"The Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment are all in pieces!?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is impossible!"
Okamura Neji's first reaction was that he didn't believe it at all.
The eyes and tone of the commander of the North China Front were full of dissatisfaction and questioning.
In half an hour, the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment were completely wiped out. How is this possible?
Just based on the troops of the Eighth Route Army in that area?
You know, the 3rd Infantry Regiment is the elite of the Empire's Locust Army, with superb combat qualities and fighting will. How could it be wiped out so quickly?
"Could it be that the telegraph soldier sent the wrong telegram?"
"Perhaps there was an error in the telegram translation?" Lan
Youmo Jingsan, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, looked at the communications staff officer and asked in a deep voice.
By now, Yumo Seizo finally understood the whole story. This must be the commander deliberately sending him to receive the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment to let him know the departure time of the heavy artillery convoy from Peiping Station.
Then Okamura Neiji secretly arranged for a Type 94 armored train and two military trains to replace the real heavy artillery convoy at a station halfway to Datong.
He wanted to test whether Mo Jingsan was a spy for the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't expect that the fake heavy artillery convoy was not ambushed, but the real heavy artillery convoy was.
At this time, Yusue Seizan felt mixed emotions, and Okamura Neji's actions made him feel a little chilled.
If the fake heavy artillery convoy was ambushed halfway, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he might not be able to escape.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Mo Jingsan is not a fool, and he will not express his inner thoughts on his face.
"Hi, I have confirmed it with Chida Sadao Daizuo using the radio. This news is absolutely true."
The communications staff officer looked at Arisu Seizo and said: "0 Taisho 7th-year-old 10mm cannons and 10 90-type 40mm heavy cannons, all were destroyed by eight routes!"
"idiot!"
Hearing this, Okamura Neji could no longer contain his anger. He drew out his sword and slashed at him randomly.
After venting his anger, Okamura Neji took the general's sword back into its sheath and glanced at the communications officer with an expressionless expression.
The communication staff officer immediately tensed up. Your Excellency, Commander, wouldn't you still suspect that I leaked the information about the heavy artillery convoy?
He quickly lowered his head and then turned around and walked out. Looking at the back of the communications staff officer, Okamura Neji narrowed his eyes slightly. The communications staff member seemed a little guilty?
After a while, the communications staff hurriedly walked in with another telegram in his hand, and reported to Okamura Neji:
"Report to Commander, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent a clear telegram!"
Okamura Neiji took it and took a look. What was written in the clear telegram was the report of the Eighth Route Army's ambush and annihilation of the 1st Division's Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment in Miaoergou.
As for the number of the Eighth Route Army's ambush unit, the telegram did not mention it.
After reading the telegram, Okamura Neji almost fainted, his chest heaved violently, and he angrily tore the telegram into pieces.
Not only did the Eighth Route Army completely wipe out the 3rd Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment, they also invented a coded telegraph, which was simply murderous.
Now not only the Chinese people know about this matter, but it will also be reported to the Kwantung Army headquarters and the Japanese army base camp in advance. Is it time for the Navy to laugh at it again?
"Order!"
"10th Division, 1st Division, 3rd Division, 3rd Division, 3rd Division."
"Immediately launch the most ferocious attack on the Eighth Route Army bandit area in northwest Shanxi!"
Okamura Neji looked at the communications staff officer and issued a combat order with an angry expression.
Without heavy artillery, this battle still had to be fought, and the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Prime Minister Lu and His Majesty Tian Locust.
"Hi!"
The communications staff officer suddenly paused, turned and left.
…
Principal Chang, who was far away in Shuangqing City, also received a clear telegram from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters radio station immediately.
Principal Chang couldn't help but cursed the Japanese army as pigs. The heavy artillery regiment and the infantry regiment were actually wiped out by Tubal Road halfway.
In his opinion, it would be best for the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army to knock the brains out of the enemy in northwestern Shanxi, killing both sides, and reap the benefits.
The Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi is getting stronger day by day, and with the help of external aid channels, if the Japanese can be defeated one day in the future, the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi will definitely be a serious threat to the Communist Party.
However, Principal Chang did not dare to say these words to outsiders.
This clear telegram from the Eighth Route Army and the annihilation of two Japanese regiments will definitely tilt the hearts of some people towards the Eighth Route Army.
If Li Yunlong in northwest Shanxi wins another big victory in this anti-mopping campaign, it will not be good news for the Communist Party.
At this time, the Japanese army, dominated by the 11th Army, dispatched four divisions and two independent brigades, totaling about 100,000 people. Supported by more than 100 aircraft and more than 200 ships, the Japanese troops were divided into two groups.
Invasion of Changsha for the second time.
Therefore, Principal Chang ordered the attendant's office to immediately send a telegram to Xue Yue, ordering Xue Yue to also fight a great victory and defeat the Japanese invaders with the power of the Eighth Route Victory.
