Yasushi Inoue said again: "If the headquarters of the 5th Brigade has not resumed contact with the headquarters after 4 minutes, it means that the 4 imperial troops under the [-]th Brigade from General Nakajima have all been destroyed collectively!"

All eyes turned to the clock on the wall in unison.

In the sound of seconds walking, 5 minutes passed quickly.

However, there was silence in the communication class, and no one came out.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi let out a long sigh, and the 4th Brigade was over again.

But fortunately, the 22nd Wing is still in Taiyuan. In the future, this infantry wing can be used as the backbone to replenish reserve soldiers and reorganize into the 4th Brigade.

Yoshimoto Teiichi turned his gaze to the map again.

Now we can only hope for the 11th Infantry Regiment.

If the 11th Infantry Regiment cannot turn the situation around,

Then the outcome of waiting for the 69th Division is already doomed.

However, this last extravagant hope of Yoshimoto Teiichi was soon shattered.

Soon, a communication staff officer hurried out to report: "Your Excellency, the Chinese Central Army snatched 11 mountain artillery that accompanied the 12th Regiment going south for reinforcements, and bombarded the 11th Regiment. The Independent 94th Brigade of the Chinese Central Army launched an attack."

Chapter 506

"idiot!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi slumped down on the chair.

The reinforcements from the north and the south were wiped out all the way, and the attack was weak all the way. However, the No. 60 Ninth Division in Anhua was still sending telegram after telegram asking for help. What should we do now?

Thinking of this, Yoshimoto Teiichi suddenly regretted it.

If I had known earlier, I should not have come to Shanxi, and I would have liked not to pick up this hot potato.

At this time, Mizuhara Takuya suddenly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is still a chance to save the situation."

"Really?" Jeongichi Yoshimoto cheered up immediately, and asked anxiously, "Mizuhara-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Mizuhara Takuya also said: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the imperial army suffered consecutive defeats in the Northwest Shanxi battlefield, first the main force of the 292nd Infantry Regiment was attacked in Zhanggezhuang, and then the 290th Infantry Regiment was encircled and wiped out in Chenzhuang. Then Ping'an County was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and then the 4th Brigade was surrounded and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army at Shazhukou..."

"Although the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has won consecutive battles, they only have 3 people."

"These 3 people have been fighting continuously for three days and nights, and I'm afraid they are exhausted to the limit."

"So at least today, the Eighth Route Army may not be able to launch a general attack on Anhua."

After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said again: "So, as long as the reinforcements from No.30 Sixth Division and No.30 Seventh Division can break through the blocking of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang bandit area and Taiyue bandit area before dawn, and go north at full speed, there will be There is a great chance to lift the siege of the No.60 Ninth Division!"

"Yoshi!" Yoshimoto Nodded happily and said again, "Immediately call No.30 Sixth Division and No.30 Seventh Division and order them to step up their offensive and use all necessary means to break through the enemy in front of us as soon as possible!"

"Hai!" Communications Section Chief Yasushi Inoue said first.

……

Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

At three o'clock in the morning, the boss finally couldn't bear it anymore and took a nap on the table.

While sleeping soundly, I vaguely heard the deputy chief of staff saying to someone: Be quiet, don't wake up the boss.

At that moment, the boss straightened up, stretched his waist and asked the deputy chief of staff, "What's the matter? Can't you let me know?"

"Boss, are you awake?" The deputy chief of staff immediately said with a smile on his face, "Good news, great news."

The boss immediately lifted his spirits when he heard it, and said anxiously: "Is the war over at Killing Zhukou over?"

"Hmm." The deputy chief of staff nodded vigorously and said, "The battle at Killing Zhukou is over, and the more than 3000 Japanese troops who went north from Taiyuan for reinforcements have been wiped out by the Shanxi Northwest Column!"

"Okay!" The boss nodded happily, "Great!"

"Boss, there are other things." The deputy chief of staff said again, "The Shanxi Northwest Column not only won this battle, but also achieved an astonishing casualty ratio."

"An astonishing casualty ratio?" the boss asked, "How amazing?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "In the battle of Killing Zhukou, more than 500 Japanese soldiers were killed and captured, while the Shanxi Northwest Column itself suffered less than [-] casualties! The casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves was seven to one!"

"What? Seven to one?!" The boss widened his eyes in surprise, "My God!"

The casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy is seven to one, which is indeed a bit too exaggerated, and it can even be said to be unique.

Small-scale battles are not counted. In large-scale battles, it is already very remarkable to be able to beat the Japanese army's casualties between the enemy and the enemy by three to one or two to one.

It is very rare to have a casualty ratio of one to one.

A seven-to-one casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy has never been seen before.

The deputy chief of staff said with a smile: "Boss, your old subordinate is really impressive."

"Wait, my old subordinate?" The boss said in astonishment, "What do you mean by that? Ding Wei, who co-authored the battle at Shazhukou, commanded it?"

"Yes, it was under the command of Ding Wei." The deputy chief of staff said with a smile, "The veteran commanders of the [-]th brigade are really amazing. Although Kong Jie has little adaptability, he has a tough style and can fight Tough battles, not to mention Li Yunlong, have more tricks than anyone else, but Ding Wei is the most surprising one."

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff said again: "Boss, from the previous Battle of Zhanggezhuang and this Battle of Killing Zhukou, it can be seen that Ding Wei is very good at fighting with large corps. Its role is not yet obvious, but when the war of resistance is won, it will be Ding Wei and his world!"

The boss naturally knew what the deputy chief of staff meant.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will almost break out.

The scale of the war at that time would definitely be far greater than it is now, so military cadres like Ding Wei who are good at commanding large corps will have a stage to play.

"I already knew this."

The boss laughed and said: "When I was in the Central Soviet Area, I have already seen that Ding Wei has a very keen strategic vision, and he is born to command a large army to fight."

After a pause, the boss said again: "By the way, what's the situation in Yezhugou?"

The deputy chief of staff snorted and said, "I haven't received a notification yet..."

As soon as the words fell, a messenger came in and reported: "Boss, the 94th Brigade of the Central Army has just sent a battlefield report, saying that they have repulsed the 11th Japanese Infantry Regiment that went south from Datong."

"Good job!" The boss threw the pencil in his hand on the map, and said, "Now that the reinforcements from the north and the south have been repulsed by us, I want to see what other tricks the devil can play?"

"I'm afraid the donkey has run out of skills." The deputy chief of staff said with a smile.

"We can only wait in panic all day long for the Shanxi Northwest Column to launch the final general offensive."

The boss nodded and asked again: "How about Taihang Military Region and Taiyue Military Region?"

The face of the deputy chief of staff became serious, and he said: "The No.30 Sixth Division and No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army have not given up yet, and are still launching a fierce attack on the blocking troops in our Taihang Military Region and Taiyue Military Region."

Speaking of this meal, he added: "We even used gas bombs."

"These damned bastards!" The boss said angrily, "Are there many casualties?"

The deputy chief of staff said with a sad face: "The local armed forces in the fourth division of the Taiyue Military Region suffered more than 300 casualties, and hundreds of fellow villagers who helped build the fortifications were also poisoned."

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff said again: "Boss, why don't you remind me?"

"No, you can't be urged." The boss shook his head decisively, "I understand Chen Gen's temperament. If you urge him at this time, he will definitely take the main force of the Shanxi Northwest Column northward regardless of everything, but the Shanxi Northwest Column has been fighting for three days and nights in a row. , the cadres and soldiers are already very tired, at least they have to take a breath first, and then have a good sleep."

After a pause, he added: "And it's too dangerous to march and fight in broad daylight."

The deputy chief of staff sighed lightly and said no more.

……

There is another person who cares about the battlefield in Northwest Shanxi.

This person is none other than Chairman Chang Kaishen who is far away in Chongqing.

This time, Chang Kaishen was taking a walk by the Jialing River, and Chu Yunfei was with Chang Kaishen.

Chu Yunfei and Chen Bulei arrived in Chongqing last night. Since it was too late when they came back, Chang Kaishen was already asleep, so Chu Yunfei was unable to meet Chang Kaishen immediately.

But Chang Kaishen had specifically ordered the attendants to let Chu Yunfei stay in the guest room of Huangshan Mansion.

This is also Chang Kaishen's usual method of winning people's hearts. For him, arranging a division-level general to stay overnight in the guest room of the Huangshan official residence is just a matter of lip service.

But for the generals who were won over, it was the concern and care from the principal!

I don't know what will happen to others, but Chu Yunfei was really emotional at the time, saying that the principal didn't blame him for the incident in Northwest Shanxi, but cared for him so much.

Such a headmaster, such a mind, what else is there to say?

Anyway, Chu Yunfei's life was sold to the party state and the principal.

Looking at Chang Kaishen's slender back, Chu Yunfei wanted to say several times: "Principal, please let me go back to the front line? Even if it's just a regiment commander or even a battalion commander, as long as I can serve the country and fight devils!" "

Chang Kaishen didn't look back, but he seemed to be able to hear Chu Yunfei's inner voice.

Chang Kaishen said: "Yunfei, don't worry, in the next six months, you will study hard at the Army University and learn more military theories. As for where you will go after graduation..."

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen paused on purpose, and Chu Yunfei's ears instantly pricked up.

After a pause, Chang Kaishen went on to say: "The position of commander of the No. 18th Army's 89th Division has been vacated. After you graduate from the Army University, you can go directly to the 89th Division and serve as acting division commander for a while."

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei instantly felt a surge of enthusiasm rushing to his brain, No.18 Army?

What is No.18 army?This is the backbone of the Department of Civil Engineering, the direct line of the headmaster who started from Whampoa!

This shows how much the headmaster values ​​and trusts Chu Yunfei!It never occurred to Chu Yunfei that he held such a heavy weight in the headmaster's heart. It really didn't occur to him.

While feeling emotional, Chu Yunfei thought to himself: You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country!

After graduating from the Army University, I must build the 89th Division into a model unit of more than 200 divisions of the party and the country. This is not enough to repay the principal for his kindness!

Chang Kaishen suddenly turned around and asked, "Yunfei, you don't want to, do you?"

Chu Yunfei snapped to attention and said, "Students will go wherever the principal asks them to go, and students will do whatever the principal asks them to do, without any hesitation."

While the two were talking, Tang Zong, the leader of the third servant team, suddenly chased after him excitedly.

"Principal, good news!" Tang Zong, the leader of the third servant group, reported happily, "The 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army set up an ambush at the wild boar ditch at the junction of Nao County and Ying County, and severely damaged the 11th Infantry of the Japanese Army who came south from Datong for reinforcements. In this campaign, more than 1000 Japanese invaders were killed and wounded, while their own casualties were less than [-]."

"Huh?" Chu Yunfei was stunned when he heard the words.

"Oh?" Chang Kaishen looked surprised, "Our own casualties were less than one thousand, and the enemy killed more than two thousand people?"

"Yes." Tang Zong nodded vigorously, and continued, "We also seized 12 Type 75 [-]mm caliber mountain guns and a large amount of combat supplies, principal, this is a great victory!"

"That's great!" Chang Kaishen said overjoyed, "Reward, call for reward immediately!"

After a pause, he said again: "Let the World War II District Commander's Department give substantive rewards to the officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade. Each soldier will be rewarded with at least 20 yuan in French currency, and the officers will increase according to their grades. As for Liang Gang, another 50 taels of gold will be rewarded." ! The bonus of 50 taels of gold is provided by the attendant room."

"Yes." Tang Zong turned around happily and left.

Chang Kaishen withdrew his gaze, and said to Chu Yunfei: "Yunfei, what a pity, if you are still in Northwest Shanxi, you will have the opportunity to participate in this great battle. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to win Steel's more impressive record."

"I dare not be the headmaster to praise like that." Chu Yunfei apologized, but in his heart he was extremely envious of Liang Gang.

Chu Yunfei thought Liang Gang was lucky, the principal would actually give him the order to "help the Eighth Route Army".

However, the principal gave him the order to stab the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the back, otherwise, he would not have been driven out of Northwest Shanxi in a disgraceful manner, which is shameful.

Chang Kaishen said again: "By the way, have you read the battle report of the Battle of Northwest Shanxi?"

Chu Yunfei said: "I had nothing to do last night, so I took a quick look."

Chang Kaishen hummed lightly and said, "Tell me your opinion. Is the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army more likely to win?"

Chu Yunfei said: "Principal, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has won this battle. If there are no accidents, the battle will be over by tonight."

"Tonight?" Chang Kaishen asked.

"Yes, tonight." Chu Yunfei nodded, "In the past few years in Northwest Shanxi, I have dealt with the Eighth Route Army a lot, especially the [-]th Brigade. Based on what I know about them, they will definitely carry forward With the spirit of not being afraid of suffering and not being afraid of tiredness, I returned to Anhua County from the slaughterhouse as quickly as possible."

"One is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of being tired?"

Chang Kaishen's face turned cold.

……

Butcher's mouth.

The brigade commander shouted loudly: "Sun Desheng? Sun Desheng!"

Sun Desheng, who was cleaning the battlefield, hurriedly led his horse to the brigade commander, and said, "Yes!"

The brigade commander saw the saber clutched in Sun Desheng's hand at a glance, and immediately asked with a smile, "General's sword?"

"No, I just found a lieutenant's sword." Sun Desheng concealed the chrysanthemum pattern on the handle of the general's sword without a trace, and then said with annoyance, "Too bad luck."

The brigade commander didn't point it out, and said with a serious face: "I will give you the cavalry regiment to clean the battlefield."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng raised his hand in salute, and said, "I promise not to drop a single bullet."
