Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh Tada Jun panicked
"Chief of Staff, I suggest that these two results be reported to the headquarters and Yan'an immediately." The excited commander suggested.
"Of course we have to report it. Maybe the results of this victory will be spread throughout China tonight!" the deputy chief of staff affirmed.
Then he continued his analysis: "Also, Linfen City is a traffic artery for the Japs, the only way to contact the two field divisions on the front line. Now it has been captured by us. The Japs must fight hard to take it back, otherwise, these two field divisions will
The division's supplies can only be transported by air. However, the Little Japs North China Front Army obviously does not have such a strong air force transportation capability. After all, the total number of Little Japs on the front line is 40,000 to 50,000!"
"So, the Japanese army will definitely send heavy troops to Fen! However, their North China Front Army only has those people. If they send troops here, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in other places to encircle and suppress our Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced. This is an opportunity for our entire Eighth Route Army
, an opportunity to crush the Japanese encirclement and suppression, the headquarters must make arrangements as soon as possible to maximize the results of winning Xiangfen and Linfen!"
"When Wang Ping comes back and asks about the specific situation, we will report it to the headquarters!"
Commander Chen was very happy and replied: "Okay...wait for Wang Ping to come back...I didn't expect that in just a few days, Wang Ping would set up a stage for us to sing such a big show, killing a Japanese brigade and returning..."
Need more troops!"
At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, at four o'clock in the morning, everyone except the staff officers and guards on duty was sound asleep, including the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Pa bang bang..."
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
The highly alert deputy commander sat up from the bed, put on a military coat and opened the door.
"Chief, the chief of staff sent an urgent message. They won the battle in Linfen and killed a Japanese brigade. They even killed the Japanese major general brigade leader. They also recaptured Xiangfen County and captured Linfen City...
"
"How is that possible?" The deputy commander's first reaction was disbelief.
He took the telegram, rubbed his eyes, read it twice before ordering: "Go to the war room now, immediately..."
Seeing that the staff officer on duty had marked the contents of the telegram on the sand table, the deputy commander-in-chief showed a very satisfied smile on his face, and then stared at the sand table.
"One move can affect the whole body. Wang Ping fought well in this battle! As Linfen City was occupied by us, a huge gap has appeared in the encirclement of the Taiyue Military Region by the little devils. As long as the Taiyue Military Region makes good use of this big gap
, the Japanese’s heavy encirclement and suppression of the Taiyue Military Region will be crushed by us!”
"If the Taiyue Military Region is safe, they can deploy heavy troops to reinforce the Taihang Military Region..."
"In this way, the whole big game of counter-encirclement and suppression in North China will be alive!"
"Call back the chief of staff immediately and ask him to rush to the headquarters quickly. The supplies and ammunition captured by the new regiment in Linfen will be given priority to replenish the Taiyue Military Region, then the Taihang Military Region and the Northwestern Shanxi Military Region. If there are still more, some will be sent to Yan'an.
, the conditions in Yan'an are worse than ours, and we urgently need to supplement them!"
"Also, report the results of this battle to Yan'an immediately, and ask Yan'an to consider reporting it to Chongqing! Our Eighth Route Army fought such a big battle, and also killed a major general brigade commander. Chongqing cannot fail to express it!"
The Japanese North China Front headquarters located in Peiping City was brightly lit, making it impossible to tell that it was the dead of night in the early morning.
The commander, Lieutenant General Shun Tada, was woken up more than two hours ago.
When he first heard the news that Linfen City was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and that Major General Kawaguchi was besieged by the Eighth Route Army in Xiangfen County, he was still full of confidence in his troops despite not knowing the situation on the battlefield.
In his eyes, the Eighth Route Army was very powerful, but it was manifested in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that the imperial army was unable to defend against.
Normally, the Eighth Route Army would not even dare to fight the Imperial Army in positional battles, let alone siege battles, which they were even less good at.
Moreover, Linfen City is different from ordinary county towns. It is an important transportation town on the Tongpu Railway. Before the imperial army occupied Linfen, the original owner of Linfen, the Jinsui Army, built a large number of city defenses based on the city wall. After the imperial army captured Linfen, they further strengthened it.
and reinforcement. Although it cannot be called indestructible, there should be no problem in blocking the Eighth Route Army's attack.
With this idea in mind, Jun Tada did not look too nervous in the past two hours or so.
However, contrary to expectations, Major General Kawaguchi, who had just taken office less than two months ago, had an accident first!
An independent mixed brigade was wiped out like a piece of flesh, and the major general brigade leader also died on the battlefield. Hearing this bad news, Shun Tada was immediately stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
At this time, the first thought that came to his mind was to take revenge and kill the Eighth Route Army in Linfen.
However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and there are no troops around Linfen with this strength.
The chief of staff, who knew Tada Shun's thoughts, first frowned, then pointed to the sand table and analyzed: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have many garrisons around Linfen, but they are all brigade-sized and have their own tasks.
It is impossible to reinforce Linfen!"
"There is a mixed brigade and three field infantry regiments farther away. However, they are encircling and suppressing the so-called Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the encirclement and suppression battle has reached a critical moment. If they are mobilized to Linfen now, then their ongoing encirclement and suppression will only
It can end in a hurry..."
"No... they can't move..." Jun Tada shook his head and replied.
"This large-scale encirclement and suppression is not just a matter of Taiyue, but the entire North China is in action, and the front army has been preparing for a long time to carry out it. It must not be affected by Linfen and give up halfway!"
At this time, Tada Shun could still remain rational, frowning and thinking about solutions.
However, when the communications staff rushed in in panic again, he could no longer maintain his rationality.
"General, something happened in Linfen City..."
"Our contact with Linfen City was suddenly interrupted. No matter how we called the other party, there was no response..."
"Is it possible that there is something wrong with their radio station?" Shun Tada's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he stared at the communications staff officer and asked.
Xiangfen can be lost, and Major General Kawaguchi can die, but Linfen City must not be lost.
If Linfen is lost, the imperial army confronting the front line and the World War II zone will become a lone army, completely deprived of ammunition supplies.
At this time, if the Jinsui Army has the courage to counterattack, it will not take a few days for the ammunition stocks of the two field divisions to be exhausted. By then, they will face the risk of being severely damaged in the World War II zone, or even completely annihilated.
Therefore, when he heard that something happened in Linfen City, Jun Tada panicked!
