Chapter 10 Different reactions
As night falls, the lanterns begin to shine, at the brigade headquarters of the fourth field brigade of the Moon Army.
Major General Yoshio Zashima, the commander of the brigade, stood in front of the map, his eyes showing strong dissatisfaction.
The Fourth Brigade belongs to the Strategic Mobile Combat Corps of the First Army. They have strong combat effectiveness.
After capturing the headquarters command structure of the Eighth Route Division that time, Yoshio Tashima decisively dispatched Nobutetsu Sakata to command the Third Regiment to attack.
From Yoshio Shima's point of view, if an elite regiment wants to destroy their division headquarters headquarters, there must be no problems.
However, at Cangyun Ridge, Bantian's unit was blocked and could not break through quickly, which made him very dissatisfied.
I want to know if Sakata United can become an elite team. It turns out that Yoshio Tashima will definitely not be able to accept this.
"Brigade Commander Ge Dong, there is an urgent message from the Third Regiment!"
At that time, the brigade's lieutenant and chief of staff came to the brigade headquarters in a panic and rushed to make a report.
After hearing the message from the No. 3 Regiment, Yoshio Zaijima slowly showed a smile on his face.
"That guy Nobutetsu Sakata is very capable, and they have already broken through the blocking position."
"Those Tubal forces who want to block the Empire's elite unit are simply wishful thinking."
"What's going on? Have they captured and annihilated the Eighth Route Division headquarters headquarters?"
"Those Tubal soldiers are very cunning. If they can achieve results here, the military headquarters will reward them."
Zaijima Yoshio turned around and asked with a smile on his face.
As he finished speaking, Zaijima Yoshio noticed the facial expression of the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff, and he realized that the situation was somewhat good.
The Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel, looked embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he just handed the message to Yoshio Zaijima.
Yoshio Zaishima received the telegram and hurriedly checked it.
When he saw the contents of the message, he was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Then...then why? The mountain artillery squadron suffered a devastating blow and the wing headquarters was destroyed."
"Colonel Nobutetsu Sakata, Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo and other members of the wing are all in pieces!"
"Bagaya Road, what are the three east infantry brigades of the Third Regiment doing?"
"Those idiots can't guarantee the safety of the wing headquarters. Damn it!"
When Yoshio Shima saw those situations, he completely lost his mind and shouted angrily.
"The brigade commander Ge Dong...the third regiment headquarters and the mountain artillery squadron directly under it are suspected to have been violently bombarded by the Shanxi-Sui Army, which is why there were such casualties."
"The third regiment has three infantry brigades in the east. At that time, they were attacking the Eighth Route Army with all their strength, so...that's why the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army found an opportunity."
"Those...those Tubal soldiers have a strong will to fight. With their inferior strength, they blocked the main attack of the third regiment."
The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff lowered his head and reported intermittently.
Yoshio Zaijima gritted his teeth and glanced at the map, and then he carefully checked the contents of the message.
At this time, in the Third Regiment (Sakata Regiment), in addition to the mountain artillery squadron, the Regiment Headquarters was destroyed.
The three brigades fought one after another and suffered hundreds of casualties.
Seeing that scene, Zaijima Yoshio's eyes were filled with anger.
"How can the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army be so powerful? They cannot achieve precise artillery fire."
"They will set up exposed positions and conduct direct fire. Even if they make changes, they will not be able to master advanced artillery tactics in a short time."
"Who in the end severely damaged the mountain artillery squadron and destroyed the Sakata Wing Headquarters? This must be found out!"
When Shima Yoshio came to the map with a livid face, he could not bear such a loss.
More importantly, he cannot be held responsible for such casualties and results.
"According to the report, the artillery shells were fired first from the position of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"Ge Dong, the commander of the brigade, and Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, graduated from the fifth phase of Huangpu and are not the so-called disciples of the Emperor."
"Most of the commanders of the Central Army fighting in Jin Province are his Huangpu brothers and instructors."
"So from that point of view, we cannot rule out whether they received artillery support from the Central Army."
"After all, the artillerymen of the Central Army were the first to receive German education. Can they do that?"
"And they are currently in contact with the Shanxi-Sui Army. This move by the Central Army is completely in line with their interests."
The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff thought for a while and then began to analyze.
After Shima Yoshio heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"Order, Hachiro Eguchi takes over the command, and the third regiment rests in the Cangyunling area overnight, and then launches an attack on the 358th Regiment!"
"Tubal Road is very cunning. They have escaped from the battlefield. It is very difficult to find them!"
"Annihilate the 358th Regiment, knock down the mountains and shake the tigers, let them know how powerful their imperial troops are!"
With an indifferent expression on his face, Zaijima Yoshio directly ordered Toda.
That incident shocked him greatly, so he wanted to completely annihilate the 358th Regiment.
Of course, the little devil wondered whether the artillery of the Jinsui Army was not so powerful, and they must have received artillery support from the Central Army.
The 4th Field Brigade Headquarters immediately began to send orders to the east, while the 3rd Regiment received orders and began preparations.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Commander-in-Chief Zhao Yinfu took the message from the 358th Regiment and walked on the chair without saying a word with a gloomy face.
The Seventh Army Group East is under the 33rd Army, 34th Army, and directly under the 358th Regiment.
Should the Shanxi-Sui Army adopt a small force? The normal field regiment has three infantry battalions in the east, directly under the communications platoon, and a mortar company, with a total strength of 1,700 people!
Of course, because of the existence of Kokekaku, the actual strength of each regiment is 1,500 men.
A few years ago, the Jinsui Army used brigades as combat units, and its main infantry brigade had more than 4,000 troops.
Although the 358th Regiment has 5,000 people, it is still classified as a regiment-level organization. There is obviously a story in it.
Even though Chu Yunfei is Yan Laoxi's fellow villager in Jin Province, he is not a student in Huangpu after all.
Now, if there are a large number of Central Army troops in Jin Province, Chu Yunfei's identity is naturally a bit embarrassing.
Yan Laoxi was very suspicious and made the mistake of Chu Yunfei. It was clear that he could not be reused now, but he was also on guard.
After all, if Chu Yunfei continues to expand and leads the Shanxi-Sui army to defect to the Central Army, then Yan Laoxi will lose more than he gains.
And there is no precedent for such a thing to happen.
"Chu Yunfei is so brave. He mobilized troops without authorization to support the Eighth Route Operation. I really want to give credit to the artillery!"
"It's simply wishful thinking. How could his little captain know about Commander Yan's grand plans?"
"Now that he has destroyed a regiment of the little Japs, please kill Nobutsu Sakata. Wouldn't that make the little Japs jealous of our Jinsui Army?"
"What does he want to do? Does he want the little devils to kill our Jinsui Army, and then he helps the Central Army take over Jin Province?"
Zhao Yinfu suddenly slapped the message on the table. He said with a cold face and a cold tone.
Zhao Yinfu, commander-in-chief of the 7th Group Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army, was one of Yan Laoxi's Thirteen Taibao, ranking seventh, and deeply trusted by Yan Laoxi.
