Chapter 469 Shinozuka Yoshio Fainted
Upon hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's order, Adjutant Ono secretly curled his lips.
It seems that their commander has been frightened by the Eighth Route Army.
By strengthening the airport's defense, he was probably trying to leave himself a way to escape!
"Report to the Commander, this is the news from Jindong.
It has now been ascertained that the Eighth Route Army's First Independent Brigade of Eastern Shanxi captured Yangquan County and the Yangquan Railway Station.
"Baga, how did this Jindong Independent First Brigade appear?"
"Commander, this unit was originally the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Jindong.
They expanded into the Independent First Brigade, probably in the last few days.
It is estimated that the number of people after the expansion will be around 15,000.”
"Well, if you want to capture the railway station and the county town of Yangquan in one night, this number is accurate."
Adjutant Ono: Shinozuka, Shinozuka, it’s already this late, you should stop supporting the Eighth Route Army in eastern Shanxi.
Then Commander Shinozuka looked at the communications staff officer who was still there, hesitant.
"Well, do you have anything else that you haven't said? Let's say it all at once!"
"Reporting to His Excellency the Commander, our Jindong Intelligence Department has new findings.
In the eastern Shanxi region, another unit called the Eighth Route Army's Eastern Shanxi Independent Second Brigade appeared, with a strength of about 15,000 men.
"Baga, where did this Jindong Second Independent Brigade come from?
Since when did the Eighth Route Army have so many troops? "
The communications officer didn't dare to cover his face, which was red from being hit by Yoshio Shinozuka.
He went on to say, "Commander, they also sent back a very important piece of information.
An artillery battalion was also found in the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, the direction in which the Eighth Route Army is marching seems to be heading towards our Taiyuan."
After saying this, the communications officer closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, waiting for Yoshio Shinozuka's slap in the face.
"General Shinozuka Yoshio... Commander... What's wrong with you?"
The communications officer did not wait for a slap in the face, but heard chaos suddenly break out in the operations room.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Yoshio Shinozuka lying on the ground, surrounded by a group of people calling him.
It turned out to be their commander, and I heard that someone was trying to cut off his retreat.
He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.
After the medical soldier came in and gave him an injection, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Send a telegram to Commander Tada of the North China Expeditionary Force, requesting tactical guidance."
Then he said to a Japanese general among the crowd: "The battle in Shanxi will be temporarily handled by the deputy commander of the First Army, General Hayata."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and fainted again.
Deputy Commander Hayata was so angry that he almost slapped him in the face.
The war is going well, and all the credit goes to you, Yoshio Shinozuka, for your good planning.
The war is not going well, so you pretend to be unconscious and put the blame on me. You are such a piece of shit.
There is no way out. He is the highest-ranking official here, so he has to take the blame.
The telegram has been sent, and all troops can retreat towards Taiyuan.
The Imperial Army gathered about 30,000 people, and the Japanese originally had a division in Taiyuan.
The troop responsible for guarding Taiyuan Airport also included a regiment of Japanese troops.
The small Japanese force that retreated to Taiyuan had basically no losses and numbered about 20,000 people.
By this calculation, there were more than 40,000 Japanese devils in Taiyuan city.
Although the Imperial Army's combat effectiveness is not good, it can still gather more than 30,000 people.
Looking at so many troops stationed in Taiyuan City, Lieutenant General Hayata's heart finally calmed down.
Logically speaking, with so many soldiers under Hayata's command, he should at least send out a division to carry out a clean-up.
But he really didn't dare, because the Eighth Route Army's troops were becoming increasingly difficult to defeat.
If this division was besieged by the Eighth Route Army, do you think you should save them?
If you don't rescue them, this division will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.
If you dare to rescue him, then Taiyuan City will definitely be lost in the hands of Hayata.
So, since he had already seen through the Eighth Route Army's intentions, why did he go out of the city?
In the afternoon, a telegram from Commander Tada of the North China Expeditionary Army arrived.
Fortunately, I can’t talk to him on the phone now because the phone line has been cut.
No matter how dirty the words Tada cursed were, Hayata Tomoka pretended not to hear them.
His commander Tada said in the telegram that North China was now in the midst of war.
In Hebei, there was an Eighth Route Army leader named Zhao Bidada who was very difficult to deal with.
This sudden raid caused smoke to rise from the artillery towers and bunkers across Hebei.
The main force of the Japanese in the south is confronting the army of the temporary capital, and the situation is highly sensitive.
In Wulong City in Jiaozuo, the Fifth War Zone of the National Army has been contacted in a high-profile manner.
He said that the commander of the Second War Zone had already launched the operation and asked whether we should also do it in Henan.
The commander of the Henan war zone had not even spoken yet, but the Japanese were already scared to death.
Not to mention supporting Shanxi, their biggest action now is to guard against the National Army.
I’m afraid they will fight like the Eighth Route Army in North China, causing chaos and war.
There was also Chahar, where Huo Jiaqiang of the First Guerrilla Army bullied the Japanese.
They actually came up with a way to coordinate horses and artillery, and made a new type of military force that was about to be eliminated from the historical stage.
The old Japanese Tadoda specifically mentioned that the second son of a big shot had come to Shanxi.
Let Hayata Chixian send someone to pick him up.
He was the second son of a marquis in Wajima, and everyone called him His Highness Gong Jiji.
Originally, he was sent to China to gain experience in order to facilitate future promotion.
Who would have known that the second young master of the Marquis's family felt that the Northeast was too cold and insisted on going to Chahar to practice cavalry.
As a result, he just happened to catch up with Huo Jiaqiang, who was galloping across the grassland.
After an accidental battle, Gong Jiji's cavalry brigade was beaten into a cavalry regiment by Huo Jiaqiang.
For the safety of the second young master, Commander Tada had no choice but to let him come to Shanxi to avoid the limelight.
After all, the current territory of Shanxi can be considered the rear base of the Japanese invading army.
Tadoda feels more at ease leaving it here.
Who knew that Shanxi would change its color overnight.
His Highness Gong Jiji was in a bad mood again and went into radio silence.
Commander Tada, who couldn't find him, has been depressed for almost a day.
Song Wenwan led his guard company out of Chenjiayu and was speeding towards Liulang Temple.
His guard company commander, Song Xiaobao, caught up with him from behind on horseback.
“Uncle, I have contacted Uncle Sun.
He is behind the pass five kilometers away from us, waiting to pick us up."
Song Wenwan: "Little Baozi, although we two are real relatives.
But in the army, you have to learn how to address my position, so let me say it again now."
Song Xiaobao immediately replied: "Report to Commander Song, Sun Desheng's cavalry regiment has arrived at Dayakou and is ready to pick us up at any time."
Song Wenwan nodded with great satisfaction, thinking about giving him a few more pointers.
Then they saw two Gansu Army scouts running towards them from the side.
"It's bad, Commander Song, a group of Japanese cavalry are coming from our north.
It’s still about two kilometers away from here.”
