Major General Shibazaki looked calm and did not speak.

The deputy's analysis was very reasonable, and he was told the truth. However, he was unwilling to give the order to break through and retreat, which meant failure. His first battle with the new regiment ended in failure, and he also suffered losses. How would Okamura Yasuhiro, who was favored by himself, how would the division commander who had not met yet look at him? Will he look down on him?

This series of reasons and pressure made him hesitate, frowning and falling into deep thought, not knowing how to answer.

It was not until a lieutenant rushed in with panic that he finally made a decision!

"Sir, the artillery is over. The Eighth Route Army armored troops attacking from the north have just raided our artillery position!"

"The Imperial Army of the two mountain artillery brigades is no match for the armored vehicles. They die and escape, and all the mountain artillery is lost!"

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking the west seemed to know that this was the command center, and it was divided into a tank, three armored vehicles, and an infantryman from a company, and rushed towards us directly!" The deputy captain of the guard rushed in and reported.

"The guards are fighting to the death, but we do not have anti-tank artillery or mountain cannons. We can only organize suicide attacks to blow them up. The troops have suffered a lot of losses and will definitely not last long!"

The deputy reminded again: "General, you can't wait any longer. Without the artillery squadron, without two mountain artillery brigades, it is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory! Only by breaking through can we survive. The longer we drag here, the greater the losses of the troops will!"

"Then break through~" Major General Shibasaki finally made a decision.

And the moment these words were said, the whole person's strength seemed to be instantly drained, and he collapsed on the chair, and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, the deputy immediately ordered: "Contact the division commander of Linfen City immediately. We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They dispatched tanks and armored vehicles. The troops suffered great losses. They were preparing to break through. They asked them to send troops to respond and keep in touch with the radio!"

"Order all troops under the brigade to assemble immediately and prepare to break through!"

Then he walked to Major General Shibasaki and asked, "General, where will we break through!"

"Although the south of the station was not attacked, the Eighth Route Army was too cunning, and no one could guarantee that they would prepare a pocket array for us in the south and then kill us!"

"Contact the commander of Fujino Division and report our situation to him and let him make an idea for us!" Major General Shibasaki, who had regained his calmness, ordered unexpectedly.

The deputy directly showed an expression of incredible expression on his face.

For a long time, Major General Shibasaki, who was particularly arrogant in front of his subordinates, was gone, and replaced by Shibasaki who had lost his fighting spirit.

Shibazaki saw the confusion on the Chief of Staff's face and explained.

"Do you know why we lost tonight? And we lost so badly!"

"We underestimate the enemy too much and don't know the opponent at all!"

"I originally thought that more than 20 mountain cannons were the capital of the New Yi regiment to attack us tonight, and their trump card. But I didn't expect that these mountain cannons were just an appetizer prepared by the New Yi regiment for us."

"The real killer weapon is tanks and armored vehicles that we never thought of, and even the elite government troops do not have advanced weapons!"

"And the explosion just now, so many of our troops are stationed on a powder barrel that can take our lives at any time! If this matter is spread, I, Shibasaki, will definitely become a laughing stock in the mouths of all the generals of the Empire!"

"I don't know if there is a pocket formation of the Eighth Route Army on the south side of the station. Only the division commander of Linfen City knows. They know the new 1st regiment and the real strength of the new 1st regiment. They can judge whether there are other troops in the south to prepare pocket formations for us from the forces exposed by the new 1st regiment on the battlefield and the mobilization of troops from other places in the new 1st regiment!"

"Click on the division commander now and report our current situation to it. Please ask him to determine the direction of breaking through for us!"

"General is wise!" The deputy said in a compliment with a sudden enlightenment.

Then he replied: "I'll send a telegram to Linfen City now and ask for tactical guidance~"

The reinforcements transferred by the Front Army to him tomorrow night will arrive. Lieutenant General Fujino seems to have seen the scene of the Eighth Route Army's New First Regiment being beaten to pieces under his own attack!

With this idea in mind, Fujino slept very well at night, and there was a smile on the corners of his mouth in his sleep.

"Second Commander, something happened. Something happened to the mixed brigade that reinforced us!" The Chief of Staff did not even knock on the door and broke into the room and reported.

The urgency of this matter can be judged from the sound Fujino.

He sat up from the bed after a quick stroke: "The cunning new regiment, the artillery did not let the mixed brigade stay overnight in their base area on the only night!"

"How is the situation? The mixed brigade has more than 8,000 people in the Light Emperor Army, and is equipped with a large number of artillery. Our opponent, Xinyi Regiment, has no sign of mobilizing large-scale troops. Therefore, they are attacked by small troops and guerrillas at the end of the day, so there should be no major problems!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and replied: "No, division commander, we all made a wrong judgment!"

"The Eighth Route Army attacked the mixed brigade with at least 5,000 people, and there were a large number of artillery. I really can't figure out where the New First Regiment drew so many troops!"

Fujino shook his head and replied: "Even if the New First Regiment has 5,000 troops and is well-equipped, our mixed brigade is not a vegetarian!"

"Although I have never dealt with Major General Shibasaki, if I can be entrusted with important tasks by the commander, there will definitely be no problem with the command ability!"

"I believe that it is not necessarily possible to command the mixed brigade to repel the attack of the new 1st regiment. It is possible to fight a counterattack, severely damage or wipe out these Eighth Route Army!"

"Didn't we prepare two brigades? Telegram to Major General Shibazaki and asked him if he needed reinforcements, attacked inside and outside, and killed the Eighth Route Army that attacked them!"

Speaking of this, Nakamaru Fujino's face showed a very relaxed and sure-win expression.

The Chief of Staff, who finally caught the opportunity to speak, quickly denied: "Chief of the division, in addition to a large number of infantry and artillery, the new regiment attacking them also had dozens of armored vehicles!"

"Because Major General Shibasaki didn't know his opponent, he lost a large number of troops because of underestimating the enemy at the beginning, and also lost artillery and artillery troops that could kill armored vehicles!"

"The troops are suffering heavy losses now. In order to reduce casualties, they decided to break through. Please help them determine the direction of the breakthrough!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Fujino couldn't sit still.

Put on a military coat and rushed to the war room not far away.

As he walked, he asked: "This Major General Shibazaki has not lost his calm yet, it's very good!"

"I know that I don't understand Xinyituan, and I'm afraid I'll fall into a trap again, so I come directly to ask us about the direction of breaking through because we know Xinyituan more!"

"If I didn't make a mistake, he would have brought all the battlefield situation and report it immediately, the faster the better!"

"This mixed brigade is our hope for counterattack against the new regiment and the hope of His Excellency the Commander of the Front Army. No accident can happen!"
