I am a wolf warrior

Has the [-]th Brigade actually grown to this point?Okamura Ningji personally took command of the town, and mobilized ten infantry divisions plus one battle division. After paying such a high price, they still failed to fight the battle of annihilation. !

……

Near noon, the main force of the Shanxi Northwest Column had already passed the Heifengkou.

After arriving at Heifengkou, there are two ways to go. One is to go to Kill Zhukou and go south to Taiyuan. By the way, you can also scare the devils in Taiyuan City. Then go to Yunqi Town, pass through the Tibet Basin, and go south through Zhengtai Road. Enter the Taihang base to join the headquarters in Liao County.

The brigade commander ordered the troops to take a short rest.

Then call together several chief officials.

The brigade commander first asked Wang Yedao: "Xiao Wang, have the guards got rid of the devils?"

"I've just contacted, and I've already got rid of it." Wang Ye nodded, and said, "And he has joined up with the troops that pretended to attack Chenzhuang, but the casualties of the pretended troops are a bit heavy."

The brigade commander asked: "The feint attack troops suffered a lot of casualties?"

Wang Ye said: "The main reason is that the casualties of prisoners of war are relatively large."

"It doesn't matter if it's a devil who died." Li Yunlong said.

"Shut up." The brigade commander snorted, "What devils, they have joined the Eighth Route Army now, so they are not devils, but our comrades in arms!"

Li Yunlong fell silent.

But judging by his expression, it was obvious that he was still not convinced.

Obviously, it is impossible for Li Yunlong to treat devils as comrades-in-arms, even if they are devils who have joined the Eighth Route anyway.

The brigade commander asked Wang Yedao again: "How many people were killed or injured?"

Wang Ye sighed softly and said, "More than 1000 people out of Zhong Sheng's 300 people came out. As for the more than 3000 Japanese prisoners of war, only less than 500 people out of the [-]-odd Japanese prisoners of war."

The brigade commander said distressedly: "So many casualties?"

Nearly [-]% of the staff has been reduced, and the casualties are also huge.

Kong Jie also said distressedly: "So, counting the local troops and the militia, we only have 1 people left in the Northwest Shanxi Military Region, and the number of staff cuts has exceeded [-]%!"

Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "Damn it, our [-]th Brigade has never suffered such a big loss since we became an army. This debt must be recovered from Neiji Okamura!"

Speaking of this meal, Li Yunlong said again: "Brigade Commander, do you want to kill him with a carbine? Neji Okamura thought that we would leave in a hurry after we broke through. He never thought that we would dare to kill a carbine before going to Anhua. If Well done, maybe this time, Okamura Neiji can be killed! This can be regarded as revenge for the brothers who died in battle."

"Revenge for what?" The brigade commander scolded with a black face, "Li Yunlong, let me tell you, we are the Eighth Route Army, not Liangshan heroes, and we will never engage in personal grievances! I will not let the soldiers of the entire column accompany you I'm making fools of you! Because this is the greatest dereliction of duty for a commander!"

Li Yunlong said anxiously: "Brigade Commander, this is really an opportunity!"

"What kind of opportunity, where did the opportunity come from?" The brigade commander said, "Kill a carbine, and then attack Anhua County, you kid said it's easy, what to use? Hit it with your big head?"

Li Yunlong said unconvinced: "Brigade Commander, our ammunition reserves can still fight a medium-scale battle."

"And then?" The brigade commander said unhappily, "What about after this battle? Is it not enough?"

"Then?" Li Yunlong said, "Then think of a way to receive the devil's supplies, can the living be suffocated by urine?"

"It's quite easy for you to say so stupidly." The brigade commander said in a bad mood. "It's not the 27th year of the Republic of China. At that time, every time the devils were dispatched, they would bring enough ammunition."

"But since last year, devils have changed their game."

After a pause, the brigade commander continued: "While our column was fighting the devils in the northwest of Shanxi, the brother troops in other base areas and military regions were not idle, and they were all attacking the devils nearby, trying to support us from the side. The column, the brother troops fought a lot of battles, big and small, but guess what happened in the end?"

"What's the matter?" Li Yunlong said, "I can't pay back the loss, can I?"

The brigade commander said: "Your boy is right, all the brother troops are really losing money."

"Impossible?" Li Yunlong said in astonishment, "You can lose money beating devils? I don't believe it."

"You guys don't believe it." The brigade commander said, "All the brothers and troops are really losing money. A lot of equipment was seized, but the ammunition captured was not much, far less than the consumption of ammunition."

After saying this, the brigade commander said again: "So from now on, we must try our best to avoid large-scale battles with the Japanese army."

Hearing this, Kong Jie heaved a long sigh, and said helplessly, "We don't have to fight the prosperity battle like before, and our [-]th Brigade will have to live a hard life in the future."

Li Yunlong was still a little unconvinced, and said anxiously: "Brigade Commander, then forget it?"

"Otherwise?" The brigade commander snorted coldly, "What else do you want, brat? Let's fight with Ningji Okamura and the ten main divisions of the North China Front Army?"

Li Yunlong said: "Brigade Commander, it is not the style of our brigade not to fight back after a defeat."

The brigade commander said: "We are not considered defeated in the battle in Northwest Shanxi. Although the base area was not kept, the factories including the arsenal were not able to be kept, and the troops suffered huge losses, which dropped from 1 to 100. Two thousand, but more than [-] million folks in Northwest Shanxi were safely transferred out, and, during the two-month battle, we also caused serious losses in personnel and equipment to the Japanese army.”

Wang Ye said: "Yes, the losses of the Japanese army far exceed ours."

"So, we won this battle." The brigade commander nodded and said, "It's just a miserable victory."

"Even this tragic victory is too miserable." Li Yunlong sighed, "Our brigade has never been so miserable. If we come here, we will have to take revenge fiercely."

Wang Ye said: "Brigade Commander, I also think what the Commander said is right, we must show something!"

"Little Wang!" The brigade commander said angrily, "Li Yunlong is messing around, why are you messing around too?"

"Brigade Commander, I'm not fooling around." Wang Ye said seriously, "I really think I can take revenge on Neiji Okamura and let this old devil throw a big somersault!"

Now the brigade commander also heard something.

The brigade commander said: "Tell me what you think."

Wang Ye said: "Brigade commander, think about it. Ningji Okamura has mobilized ten infantry divisions and one tank division. They besieged our base in Northwest Shanxi for almost two months. One elite division was completely annihilated. A cavalry brigade and a field heavy artillery brigade were severely damaged, and the total number of casualties exceeded 6. However, our Shanxi Northwest Column still did not eat up. If the Japanese army base camp and the Japanese emperor had no complaints against Neiji Okamura, I don't believe it."

"It makes sense." Ding Wei nodded and said, "The Japanese base camp and the emperor must be very angry."

Wang Ye said again: "Now, although our Northwest Shanxi column has broken through, I dare to say that the old devil Ningji Okamura must still have a fluke mentality. Before the pursuit is over, he will definitely not report the result easily. Go up, that is to say, there is a high probability that the Japanese army base camp and the Japanese emperor still don't know that we have broken through the encirclement!"

"And then?" The brigade commander's eyes lit up, and he said, "Go on."

Hehe smiled, and Wang Ye continued: "Then, if the 1st Army stationed in Taiyuan reports to the Japanese base camp and the Japanese emperor that Taiyuan is under attack, how do you think the Japanese base camp and the Japanese emperor will react? There is another hand How will Hideki Tojo, who helped Neiji Okamura to the position of commander of the North China Front Army, react?"

Ding Wei said: "The base camp of the Japanese army and the Japanese emperor will definitely be furious, and Hideki Tojo will be disgraced."

Wang Ye smiled and said: "The key point is that we don't have to actually fight Taiyuan. The 1st Army has been beaten twice by us, and it is almost psychologically disturbed. As long as we assume the posture of attacking Taiyuan, they will definitely panic. At a loss, after all, there is only one infantry regiment in Taiyuan at this time."

"And then?" asked the brigade commander, "and what?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Then Neiji Okamura will suffer thunderous wrath from the Japanese army base camp and the Japanese emperor. It is entirely possible to reprimand him for demotion, and it is entirely possible that he will be ordered to apologize directly."

"Haha, Xiao Wang still has to be you." Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "You are really a qualified dog-headed military advisor."

After a pause, Li Yunlong turned his head and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, let's do this. Even if we can't kill the old devil Neji Okamura this time, we have to let him take off his skin!"

"Pass my order." The brigade commander snorted.

"The whole army is attacking in the direction of Taiyuan!"

Chapter 588 Sleeping and eating uneasy

Anhua, the Japanese frontline headquarters.

Because of the long hours of wartime duty, everyone, including Neiji Okamura, was a little tired, and it was still the kind of exhaustion after the war, and the whole person was about to fall apart.

"Mr. Suwon, where is the [-]th Brigade?"

Okamura Ningji squinted for a while and asked lazily.

Mizuhara Takuya had a good night's sleep last night, and he was in good spirits. He said, "Your Excellency, the forward troops reported that the [-]th Brigade had passed Maoliling three hours ago. If there is no accident, this meeting should have passed. Black Wind Mouth."

"Black tuyere?" Okamura Ningji's eyes fell on the map, and Mizuhara Takuya quickly pointed him to the black tuyere.

Looking at the map, Ningji Okamura said, "After Heifengkou is Yunqi Town, it seems that the [-]th Brigade intends to enter the Taihang Mountains via the Tibet Basin, and then cross Zhengtai Road and go south to Liao County to meet with the [-]th Brigade. The main force of the division will meet, so we need to block it on Zhengtai Road in the next step, no matter whether we can block it or not, we still have to block it."

Neiji Okamura still wants to try his best one last time, what if they get blocked?

Mizuhara Takuya shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, there is actually another possibility."

"There is another possibility?" Neiji Okamura frowned, "Are you talking about going to Heifeng Town?"

"Yes." Mizuhara Takuya said, "Although going south via Heifeng Town has to pass through Taiyuan, there is only one infantry regiment in Taiyuan at this time, and it is powerless to prevent the [-]th Brigade from going south, so the [-]th Brigade can completely follow On Tongpu Road, we crossed the border southward in a grand manner and entered the bandit area of ​​Taiyue."

"Taiyuan?" Neiji Okamura said, "The [-]th Brigade shouldn't be so courageous, right?"

"Your Excellency, I think it is still possible." Mizuhara Takuya shook his head, and said, "And the [-]th Brigade will pass through Taiyuan along Tongpu Road, and there may be another effect."

"Another first-class effect?" Okamura Ningji's face darkened.

Obviously, Neiji Okamura has also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes." Mizuhara Takuya nodded and said, "So, Your Excellency, you should send a telegram to the base camp first. Although the Battle of Northwest Shanxi failed to achieve all the combat intentions, after all, let the remnants of the [-]th Brigade run away, but now Sending a telegram can still gain a little initiative, which is better than knowing the result from other channels in the base camp."

Okamura Neiji sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's already too late."

But even if it was late, the telegram would still be sent.

……

In Tokyo, the imperial study of the Imperial Palace.

When Hideki Tojo walked into the imperial study room, he saw Hirohito sitting on the tatami with a blank expression on his face, and Moto Sugiyama, Chief of the Army General Staff, was sitting on the right side.

"Tojo-kun, are you here?" Hirohito nodded and said, "Sit down."

"Hai." Tojo Hideki paused and knelt down to the lower left side of Hirohito.

As soon as he sat down, Hirohito reached out and picked up the folder in front of him and handed it over.

Hideki Tojo opened it and saw that it was an urgent telegram sent by the headquarters of the 1st Army an hour ago.

The telegram said that the 1th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which was originally trapped in the northwest of Shanxi, was rushing towards Taiyuan along Tongpu Road. Taiyuan was empty of troops, so the [-]st Army requested emergency reinforcements from the North China Front Army.

Obviously he was asking for help from the North China Front Army, but the telegram was sent to Tokyo.

Obviously, this is Yoshimoto Teiichi, the commander of the 1st Army, behind the scenes to calculate Neiji Okamura.

But Hideki Tojo never expected that after receiving the telegram, Sugiyama Moto would directly bring the news to the emperor without discussing it with him, which made him very passive.

Because now he and Neiji Okamura are one.

Thinking of this, Hideki Tojo's face collapsed, and he gave Sugiyama Moto a vicious look.

I said in my heart that this idiot, as the chief of the army's general staff, does not consider issues from the army's standpoint, but only acts as a licking dog for His Majesty the Emperor. It is really shameful.

In addition, Hideki Tojo is also somewhat dissatisfied with Hirohito.

Although you are the emperor, it does not mean that you are all-rounder. You have never been a soldier and do not understand military affairs, so it is best not to meddle in the military indiscriminately, so as not to miss the fate of the country.

Isn't it good to be your head of state honestly?

At that moment Hideki Tojo said: "Your Majesty, this is just one-sided opinion of Mr. Yoshimoto. What is the progress of the battle in Northwest Shanxi? Has the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army broken through? It still needs to be confirmed."

"I still need confirmation? I'm afraid it's not necessary." Yuren said coldly.

After finishing speaking, Hirohito handed over another telegram in hand.

This telegram was sent by the North China Front Army, acknowledging that the [-]th Brigade had indeed broken through from northwest Shanxi.

In an instant, Hideki Tojo's face turned into a pig belly color, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor did this on purpose, right?Show him Yoshimoto Teiichi's telegram first, and then show him Okamura Neiji's telegram after he denies it. This is to slap him in the face. This is to embarrass him on purpose. It's too much. I'm shameless. of?

And Neiji Okamura too, why didn't you report to me first?

But after thinking about it, I felt that Neiji Okamura could not have sent him a telegram. It must be because he was on his way to the Imperial Palace so he didn't receive it.

"Tojo-kun." Hirohito said quietly, "The imperial army has mobilized ten infantry divisions, one tank division and one aviation division, including heavy equipment divisions like the 1st division. The combat supplies for the battle of ten divisions are just for encircling and suppressing a single brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"But in the end, it ended up like this."

After a pause, Yuren said angrily again: "The imperial army suffered more than [-] casualties, and lost countless equipment. Just like this, I haven't wiped out a mere brigade of the Eighth Route Army. I have never been a soldier, and I don't understand military affairs." , but as long as you are not an idiot, you can see that this battle is clearly defeated by the imperial army!"

In the end, Hirohito re-shot the imperial case.

"Hai." Hideki Tojo didn't refute.

He also has no face to refute, this battle is really lost.

Hirohito roared again: "What Showa Sanbao, it's a joke!"

At this moment, Hirohito was really disappointed with Neiji Okamura. A high-ranking general whom he had placed high hopes on turned an inevitable victory into a disastrous defeat. How dare he call himself Yuwu?

"Hai." Hideki Tojo could only nod his head honestly.

There is really nothing to justify, Okamura Ningji's performance is really bad.

"So, don't Tojo-kun want to say something?" Hirohito snorted.

To be honest, although Hirohito was disappointed with Neiji Okamura, he did not completely deny Neiji Okamura's achievements in the previous years of war just because of one failure.

Hirohito is more willing to believe that Neiji Okamura was defeated because of his arrogance.

Hirohito made a fuss about this incident, but he was actually targeting Hideki Tojo.
