Chapter five hundred and seventy fourth most worried thing
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, the chief of staff anxiously knocked on the door of Matsumoto's rare room.
Facing the dissatisfied brigade commander, although he knew that his behavior had made him very unhappy, he still bravely reported: "General, something happened at the Zhoutang Town stronghold!"
"A few hours ago, I was afraid that something would happen to the Zhoutang Town stronghold, so I asked someone to contact me, but I couldn't get in touch at that time. I didn't dare to neglect my humble position, so I immediately sent a telegram to the main force who was out of the stronghold, asking them to confirm that the stronghold was safe!"
"They just sent a telegram that the stronghold has been captured by the enemy, and the enemies who captured the stronghold have long since retreated!"
"All the food, weapons and ammunition we had hoarded in the stronghold were evacuated, and a company of the Imperial Alliance Army also disappeared!"
"Could it be that the remnants of the New Regiment really did it? They are really hiding near Zhoutang Town. How is that possible?" Major General Matsumoto, who was suddenly stunned, quickly reacted and then asked himself with an incredulous look on his face.
The chief of staff obviously wanted to know more about China and hesitantly replied: "General, I don't know whether I should say something about my humble position!"
"There is a saying in China that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. I suspect that this is what the remnants of the New Regiment did. We thought that the area around the Zhoutang Town stronghold was too dangerous for them to hide there. And they just did it.
over there!"
Major General Matsumoto showed an expression of sudden realization: "Bagya Road, this must be the case. The cunning Eighth Route Army is indeed an enemy that does not play according to the routine!"
"Our two infantry brigades and two regiments of the Imperial Army encircled and suppressed the remnants of several hundred of their troops. Not only did we not achieve any results, but we lost troops and generals again and again. They led us by the nose. This is simply an empire.
A disgrace to the Imperial Army!"
After venting his anger, Major General Matsumoto felt much better.
Staring at the chief of staff, he asked: "The Zhoutang Town stronghold is one of our medium-sized strongholds. There are five to six hundred people in it stocked with combat supplies that can last for a month. Now these things have been captured by the New Regiment. Although they can enhance their strength, but
It also hindered their maneuvers, battalion commander!"
"As long as they send people to chase them, they will definitely gain something, and maybe they can catch up with them!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
But instead of looking better, his face became more and more solemn: "The pursuit force reported that the remnants of the new regiment that retreated from Zhoutang Town ran towards the mountains again!"
"They are on the march in pursuit, and news should reach the brigade headquarters soon!"
"Go to the war room!" Major General Matsumoto was not in the mood to continue sleeping at this time.
He knew very well the speed at which the Eighth Route Army was developing its troops. Once the Eighth Route Army sent the materials and ammunition captured in Zhoutang Town into the mountains, and used those materials and prisoners, the remnants of the new regiment would definitely continue to grow and develop.
The remnants of more than 200 people are causing trouble for him. If their strength increases to 300, 400, or even more, it will definitely be more difficult for him to eliminate them.
This is definitely very bad news for me who just took office.
As soon as he entered the war room, a communications staff officer handed the chief of staff a telegram with a very ugly look on his face.
Major General Matsumoto's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a very bad premonition.
"General, there is an urgent call from the First Brigade: Two strongholds on the blockade were suddenly attacked by the remnants of the New Regiment. They are the troops of the New Regiment left in the mountains. They don't have many troops, but they have strong firepower!" The brigade commander glanced at
The content of the telegram was reported with a frown.
Seeing the two points quickly marked by the staff on the sand table, and thinking about the retreat direction of the new regiment after attacking the Zhoutang Town stronghold, Major General Matsumoto could no longer calm down.
Because what he worried about most happened.
"The new regiment that retreated from the Xintang Town stronghold really wants to enter the mountain, and it will enter the mountain from one of these two points!"
"That must be the case!" Seeing Matsumoto draw a line on the sand table with his baton, the chief of staff exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.
Then he responded quickly: "I will contact the First Brigade immediately and ask them to send out all mobile units to pursue and intercept them. We must stop them!"
"Otherwise, with the materials, weapons and ammunition seized from their stronghold in Xintang Town, not only will they not be weakened under our blockade, but they will continue to grow and develop. We must put an end to this possibility!"
"It's too late!" Major General Matsumoto replied with a serious look!
"It must have been several hours since Tuba Road evacuated Zhoutang Town. If they really wanted to enter the mountain, they would have already withdrawn to our blockade. By then they will attack from inside and outside, and they will definitely be able to open a gap and quickly enter the mountain."
"Everything was planned well by the Eighth Route Army. Their commander is very smart. I really want to see who their commander is now. He has tricked us again and again. We are exhausted and can't find them!"
"
The chief of staff's face also became heavy, but he still insisted: "I'd better send a telegram! There may be a chance to stop them. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, we can't let it go!"
Just when the chief of staff was frowning and about to leave, the communications staff officer who had just left rushed in again, his face even more ugly than before.
"What's going on!" the chief of staff asked subconsciously.
"The First Brigade received an urgent call. The blockade was attacked by the Eighth Route Army from both inside and outside, and a gap was opened!"
"They have sent two infantry squads of mobile troops to rush over and block the gap as soon as possible. However, the remnants of the new regiment outside the mountain will definitely enter the mountain, and it is impossible to stop them!"
"It's over!" The chief of staff's face suddenly turned from livid to pale.
Because the result he was most worried about appeared.
He immediately turned to Matsumoto and asked: "General, now the remnants of the new regiment have supplies, weapons and ammunition, and hundreds of prisoners of the Imperial Alliance Army. As long as they are given time, they will definitely be able to convert the prisoners into the Eighth Route Army!"
"By then the strength of the remaining members of the new regiment will be at least doubled, or even more!"
"What should we do next? Let the general decide!"
Major General Matsumoto did not answer, but frowned and stared at the map with a gloomy look on his face.
After a full five minutes, a pair of red eyes shot out two rays of light. He raised his eyebrows and said to the chief of staff next to him: "We must not wait for the new group to grow and develop again, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain.
All in vain!”
"Contact the captain of the special operations team immediately and come see me now!"
"Chief of Staff, immediately prepare a copy of all the information on the mobile units we have, I will use it!"
"In addition, prepare at least ten days of combat supplies for three infantry brigades. I will transfer them at any time!"
