"The iron mine we were attacked last night was captured by Tubal Road. All the defenders were crushed, and Tubal Road evacuated the entire mine."
"Nani?" The division leader looked disbelieving at first, and then his whole person was enveloped in anger.
"Crash..." He slammed his fist clenched in anger on the table, and several plates fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
Then he stared at the staff officer in front of him and asked: "Where are the reinforcements? What do the reinforcements do? Why were they not reinforced in time?"
The staff officer quickly replied: "The reinforcements marched all the way and arrived at the iron mine at dawn, but by that time the battle was over, and the attacking Tubal Road had retreated, evacuating the entire iron mine and blowing up the mine.
!”
"That is to say, more than two thousand defenders, relying on a large number of permanent firepower points, could not hold on for even one night under the attack of Tubal Road. No, not one night. It will take time for Tubal Road to empty the iron ore and retreat.
The whole battle lasted for three hours at most!" The division commander asked with an expression of disbelief on his face again, staring at the staff officer.
"Hi!" The staff officer didn't believe this result either, but in the face of the facts, he could only answer with his head lowered.
Seeing that the division commander was showing signs of getting angry again, the staff officer quickly replied: "Division commander, I think this is a humble job, so it's not their fault!"
"The reinforcements reported that they found traces of a large number of heavy artillery shell explosions on the battlefield. There were hundreds of craters alone, and many imperial troops were directly killed by heavy artillery shells. This is enough to prove that the Tuba Road that attacked our iron mine last night
It does have a heavy artillery group."
"Under the heavy artillery attack, our permanent firepower points in the iron mines will not have any effect."
The anger on the division commander's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
He grabbed the telegram and started to read it. After finishing it, the seriousness on his face was replaced by heaviness.
"Bageya Road, if Tubal Road really has a heavy artillery group, then our policy towards Tubal Road must change. The front-line troops confronting Tubal Road must also strengthen their firepower, and even strengthen some heavy artillery!"
"Order reinforcements to immediately find the Tubal Road that attacked us last night and confirm how many heavy artillery they are equipped with. If they can be eliminated, destroy them. If they cannot be eliminated, keep an eye on them and request air support. I will send bombers to blow up the Tubal Road.
heavy artillery unit!"
"Contact the Army Aviation Corps and immediately dispatch a reconnaissance aircraft to help find this Tubal Road and their heavy artillery unit under the guidance of ground reinforcements!"
"The power of heavy artillery is really too great. If Tubal Road sends out heavy artillery to attack the strongholds we have divided and surrounded Tubal Road, no matter how many defenders there are, there will not be enough for Tubal Road to bombard it with heavy artillery! We must find a way to destroy it, otherwise, the Empire of Japan will
The imperial army’s troop deployment throughout North China may be adjusted as a result!”
"Also, immediately report the news that Tubal Road has a heavy artillery group to the North China Front Army Headquarters, and ask the headquarters intelligence agency to assist in the investigation!"
When the Japanese Army North China Front Headquarters received the telegram, Juichi Terauchi was more anxious than anyone else. He immediately gathered his subordinates to think of a solution.
The chief of staff was the first to react from the shock: "Your Excellency Commander, heavy artillery groups are strategic units in the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan and will not be easily dispatched. I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army with low-level equipment was also equipped. It's so surprising.
Incredible!”
"If this is true, we must find it immediately and then send out heavy troops to destroy it. Otherwise, our garrison troops on the front line may be devastated by this heavy artillery unit at any time."
"Also, if this is true, the Intelligence Department must immediately figure out where Tubal Road's heavy artillery comes from. As long as Tubal Road's channels for obtaining heavy artillery are not cut off, even if we eliminate this heavy artillery group, Tubal Road can still form another
Heavy artillery group!"
Terauchi Shouichi frowned and turned his attention to the intelligence director.
"Colonel Kato! What does your intelligence office do?"
"A heavy artillery group is not an ordinary unit. A heavy artillery unit must have a large number of attached units to form a combat effectiveness. For a unit with such a big target, your intelligence department didn't notice anything!"
"Commander, please calm down, there must be something wrong here! Our intelligence personnel are all over the Tubal Road base area. If there is really a heavy artillery group on Tubal Road, it is impossible for us to have no news at all!" the intelligence director replied cautiously.
"Also, heavy artillery must be pulled by cars in order to march. However, as far as I know, Tubal Road does not have an organized car transport unit at all."
Shouichi Terauchi slowly regained his composure and quickly analyzed in his mind the answer just given by the intelligence director and the telegram with evidence sent from below.
Unfortunately, Terauchi Juichi didn't know who to believe, although he was more willing to believe that Tubal Road was not equipped with artillery.
However, Juichi Terauchi cannot afford to gamble.
If the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a heavy artillery group and is unprepared, the front-line garrison confronting Tubal Road is likely to suffer a devastating blow from Tubal Road's heavy artillery group.
To be cautious, Juichi Terauchi decided to let the Intelligence Department conduct a thorough investigation.
This is a scam, there is no best. If Tubal Road is really equipped with a heavy artillery group, no matter what the cost, I will kill this heavy artillery unit and relieve the crisis of the front-line combat troops.
At this moment, Terauchi Juichi suddenly thought of a task he had assigned to the Intelligence Department some time ago.
Ten days have passed now, but the Intelligence Department still has not found me to report to.
"Kato-kun, please find out the matter as soon as possible. I have great faith in the ability of your intelligence department. In addition, what is the result of the matter I asked you to find out ten days ago?"
Colonel Kato quickly replied: "We already have an idea!"
"According to intelligence, the ammunition came from the so-called Logistics Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters on Tubal Road."
"Through the use of our senior intelligence officers lurking in the opponent's headquarters, we learned that Tubal Road seems to have created an arsenal on its own. At present, the arsenal can already produce landmines, grenades, reloading bullets, and repair firearms on a large scale!"
"Nani? Arsenal!" Terauchi's brows furrowed again.
Then he decided with a serious face: "We must find this arsenal and destroy it!"
"The Tubal Road, which is short of ammunition, has already overwhelmed the Imperial Japanese Army. If we let them solve the ammunition problem, it will be very difficult for us to eliminate them!"
At this moment, the chief of staff next to him suddenly reminded: "Division commander, do you think the heavy artillery group that suddenly appeared on Tubal Road also came from this arsenal?"
"Beizhi knows that this result is hard to believe, but Tubal Road is blocked inland by us, and it is impossible to obtain external reinforcements. Apart from its own production, Beizuzhen can't think of any other way in which Tubal Road can obtain so many heavy artillery!"
