The fourth regiment of the Third Detachment, which is the Sun Bin regiment, was responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements from the Han County.

When the battlefield of Zhanggezhuang was in full swing, the Xiao Caozhuang, where Sun Bin's group was deployed, was silent.

After waiting for another five minutes, he found that the road was still silent and there was no movement. Sun Bin couldn't hold back his anger and immediately sent a guard to call the deputy commander over.

The deputy leader of the Fourth Regiment is Lu Changsheng.

When I was paired with the deputy regiment of the regiment commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang considered that although Sun Bin's qualifications were relatively old, their personality was a little weaker, which would affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The eight main battalions of the independent regiment before were the worst combat power of the fourth battalion.

So I specially sent Lu Changsheng, the "God of War" to the Fourth Regiment to be the deputy leader.

Lu Changsheng was powerful on the battlefield and was like a god of war. With Lu Changsheng as the deputy commander, he immediately injected strong factors into the fourth regiment.

The combat effectiveness of the Fourth Regiment has indeed been greatly improved.

Lu Changsheng was extremely fierce on the battlefield, but he was very friendly in life.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng got along well with Sun Bin, and the spirit of the army suddenly increased, and he faintly surpassed the three old main teams and became the top main team of the third detachment.

Sun Bin asked, "Old Lu, why haven't the Japanese come yet?"

"Yes, this is really strange." Lu Changsheng said, "According to the information provided by the Wolf Warrior Brigade, the Japanese should have walked to Xiao Caozhuang long ago."

While he was talking, a correspondent suddenly rushed over.

"Captain, leader..." The communicator rushed over.

While gasping, he shouted: "Ghosts, Ghosts..."

Sun Bin suddenly felt refreshed and asked anxiously: "The devils are here?"

"Uh, no." The communicator had already run to Sun Bin and shook his head and said, "The devils didn't come."

"What? The Japanese didn't come?" Sun Bin slapped the communicator's hat and cursed, "The Japanese didn't come, what's your name?"

The correspondent said: "Captain, the Japanese have intercepted the Central Army!"

"What's the matter?" Sun Bin said in surprise, "Let the Central Army intercept it?"

"Yes." The correspondent said with a heavy emphasis, "Just just now, the people from the Wolf Warrior Brigade came again, saying that the 94th Brigade of the Central Army dispatched two regiments of troops to chop Chaiwan in front and ambush the Japanese from Lang County."

"What?" Sun Bin said anxiously, "Isn't this a damn robbing our business?"

What a good guy, the Japanese have become fat meat that has been stolen in Sun Bin's eyes.

After a pause, Sun Bin said again: "No, you can't just forget about this matter. Lao Lu, hurry up and summon the troops. We will go to Chihuaiwan now. We must not let the Central Army eat alone."

"Yes." Lu Changsheng responded and was about to gather the troops.

The correspondent said, "The regiment commander, I'm afraid it's too late. The people from the Wolf Warrior Team said just now that the battle in Pichaiwan has almost been fought, and the Japanese are probably wiped out at this time."

"Fuck!" Sun Bin couldn't help but slapped the correspondent's hat again.

He then cursed: "You bastard, can you finish your words in one go?"

At this moment, Sun Bin was so depressed that he waited for half a night in vain?

Finally, I snatched the mission from the commander, but ended up snatching the loneliness?

...

Sun Bin was very depressed, but Ding Wei was very happy.

When Ding Wei got on the position, the battle was over.

All participating troops have begun to clean the battlefield.

Ding Wei saw two burning Type 95 light tanks at a glance.

In addition to the Japanese infantry and artillery, the Japanese reinforcements that came out of Anhua this time actually had a chariot squadron. However, because they were in the dark and the road was lush with lush cornfields on both sides, they were easily destroyed by the participating troops with a moor bottle before they arrived close, and they almost did not play any role.

The Eighth Route Army is becoming more and more adept at dealing with the Japanese tanks.

To put it bluntly, the level of coordination between the Japanese Bu Tan and Tan is also broken, and the disconnection is very serious.

However, Ding Wei still felt a little regretful and said to Li Xiaoxian: "It's a pity for these tanks. How good would it be if they could be seized? In this way, our chariot company can turn into a chariot battalion."

"What's this? It's a pity for more than a dozen mountain cannons." Li Xiaoxian pointed to the artillery position not far ahead, and said, "What a great seven-five mountain cannon, it was destroyed like this."

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the artillery position.

Looking around, I saw that the entire artillery position had been blown up in disarray.

In addition to the bombed cannons, there are also Japanese corpses everywhere, many of which are even incomplete, with a lump of internal organs in the east and a broken limb in the west, not to mention how disgusting it is.

However, Ding Wei and Li Xiaoxian did not respond to this.

As a veteran, they have seen even more disgusting scenes.

Ding Wei walked to a 41 75mm caliber mountain cannon that was overturned by air waves. He saw that the mountain cannon was just bent by the air waves generated by the explosion. The main body was still intact and should be able to be repaired. Even if it was not repaired properly, at least it could be dismantled as a spare part of the artillery regiment.

Ding Wei stepped on the mountain cannon that was overturning to the ground,

While shouting, "Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to the headquarters, saying that with the assistance of the third detachment, artillery regiment and cavalry regiment, our team had wiped out all the enemies coming to support Anhua, annihilated more than 3,000 enemies, destroyed more than ten tanks and armored vehicles, seized twelve Type 41 mountain cannons, and other weapons and ammunition are being counted quickly."

"Yes." Li Xiaoxian agreed and turned around and left excitedly.

Ding Wei shouted again: "Comrades, move quickly. It's less than an hour before dawn. You must clean the battlefield before dawn. Hurry up, move quickly!"

...

In Anhua County, the headquarters of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

Within half an hour, bad news came to the division headquarters one by one.

"Reported that Changdao Brigade was ambushed in Pichaiwan, 20 kilometers northwest of Ping'an County."

"Reported that the Totian United team was ambushed in Zhanggezhuang, fifteen kilometers southwest of Ping'an County."

When he received these two news, Takaichi Sakamoto was still very calm because as he expected, the Eighth Route Army had been doing this trick.

It's nothing more than a surround and attacking support.

However, you must have the ability to attack the aid of a siege point.

Takaichi Sakamoto firmly believed that the Eighth Route Army could neither surround or attack aid.

But the news that came immediately made Takaichi Sakamoto no longer calm.

"Report, there are at least eight thousand Eighth Route Army ambushing the Long Island Brigade!"

"Report, there are at least 20,000 Eighth Route Army ambushing the Tokuda United team! There is also a heavy artillery group!"

I don’t know if it was because the sky was unclear, or the Japanese in front deliberately exaggerated the number of troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Hearing this, Sadao Inoue, Mi Igarashi, Sadao Kato and several combat staff members threw shocked at Takaichi Sakamoto at the same time. This is different from your judgment.

There were actually 28,000 Eighth Route Army members involved in the ambush?

Didn’t you say that the two Eighth Route Armys combined only have seven or eight thousand people?

"This is impossible!" Sakamoto Juichiko calmed down, "It must be them who made a mistake!"

Takaichi Sakamoto felt that even if he made a mistake in his judgment, it would be impossible to have such a big difference.

Soon, new news came back. It was not the Eighth Route Army who ambushed the Changdao Brigade from Wan County, but the 94th Independent Central Army Brigade in Fu'an County.

"China Central Army?"

"Why are they here to join in the fun?"

"Yes, hasn't the Chinese Central Army already had a quarrel with the Eighth Route Army?"

Mi Igarashi, Sadao Kato and several combat staff once again cast doubt on Takaichi Sakamoto again, which was already the second mistake of judgment by Takaichi Sakamoto.

Takaichi Sakamoto was also a little confused.

What's going on? What's going on with the Central Army?

Under such circumstances, can the Central Army actually help the Eighth Route Army?

After about half an hour, two shocking news came back to the division headquarters.

"Chief of Staff!" said the communications staff who came to report, "The Yoshino Shou of the communications team belonging to the Nagashima Brigade has just sent a farewell telegram!"

"What? Farewell to the Telegram?"

Takaichi Sakamoto couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes." The correspondent said, "The Long Island Brigade has been broken collectively."

Before he finished speaking, another communications staff hurried into the war room and reported: "The Chief of Staff, he had just received a farewell telegram from Lieutenant Matsuno, the communications team belonging to the Tokuda United, and the 1st Yama Artillery Brigade, the search team had sacrificed their lives for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor five minutes ago."

Quiet! The entire war room suddenly fell into death silence!

Takashi Sakamoto was stunned for a moment, and he was completely stunned.

This was really beyond his expectations. He never expected that the two reinforcements would be wiped out at the same time in such a short time! This is completely illogical!

The Eighth Route Army cannot have such strong strength!

"Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Takashi Sakamoto kept saying, "I must have made some mistake."

"Kun Sakamoto, didn't you say that the two reinforcements would definitely not be in danger?"

Sadae Inoue finally showed his fangs and took the opportunity to put the blame on the prestige of Takaichi Sakamoto.

After pausing, Sadashi Inoue said again: "But now the two reinforcements are broken at the same time. How do you explain?"

Mi Igarashi, Sadao Kato and several combat staff also cast dissatisfaction at Takaichi Sakamoto. Because Takaichi Sakamoto's misjudgment caused heavy losses to the 69th Division, and seriously damaged the reputation of the 69th Division. Their personal reputation is closely related to the collective honor of the 69th Division.

So, in a sense, Takaichi Sakamoto influenced their honor.

This will have a serious impact on their personal future, so it is inevitable that they will feel dissatisfied.

Faced with Sadashi Inoue's questioning, Takaichi Sakamoto was speechless because until now, his mind was still in a state of confusion. He really couldn't figure out how it would be the result?

Sadae Inoue will naturally not miss such a chance to collect rights again.

At that time, Inoue Sadaemi ordered Igarashi Mi, "Igarashi, call the headquarters immediately, and say that the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese Central Army in northwest Shanxi suddenly joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the defense zone of our 69th Division. The Eighth Route Army and the Chinese Central Army mobilized more than 50,000 troops, and there were more than 50 heavy artillery to provide strong fire support. Due to the command error of Chief of Staff Takaichi Sakamoto, our 69th Division lost an infantry gang, a mountain artillery brigade and a search team."

"Now, our 69th Division has a serious shortage of troops and its firepower has been completely suppressed by the Eighth Route Army. Anhua, Gan County and Ping'an County are in danger. Please request the headquarters to send troops to reinforce urgently!"

"Hayi!" Igarashi Mi bowed her head heavily and agreed to the promise.

...

Heyuan County, Jinbei Northwest Column Headquarters.

The Japanese division headquarters was filled with miserable mist, but the Eighth Route Army headquarters was filled with laughter and joy.

"Beautiful, how good I did it." The brigade commander praised, "Ding Wei commanded Zhang Gezhuang in this battle, and the troops participated in the battle were also beautiful. I commended you, Xiao Zhao, and I will immediately call for rewards!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gang responded, turned around and drafted a telegram.

OK, Zhao Gang was also captured by the brigade commander and went to the column headquarters.

He was also temporarily appointed as the acting deputy director of the Political Department.

The brigade commander really didn't polite to Li Yunlong, and he almost emptied his detachment headquarters.

Li Yunlong's third detachment headquarters originally had few people, but now it has become an empty stylist.

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "However, Liang Gang's troops actually came to intervene, which was something I didn't expect."

Wang Ye said: "I didn't expect this. I originally thought that it would be good if the 94th Brigade of the Central Army did not stab us in the back, but I didn't expect that it would come to help us."

He paused and said, "Especially, we had an unhappy relationship with the Jinsui Army a while ago."

The brigade commander continued: "And the predecessor of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army was the 94th Division. This unit has a deep hatred with our Eighth Route Army."

Wang Ye said: "So this is even more rare."

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, what do you mean is to let Liang Gang participate in the next stage of the war?"

"Then forget it." Wang Ye said, "My opinion is that the Central Army wants to participate, and we do not object to it, but we must not consider them when formulating a combat plan."

Speaking of this, he said, "You have to be careful of them!"

"Xiao Wang is right." Li Yunlong said, "The Central Army is not credible."

Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "Actually, Chang Kaishen is not trustworthy."

"Not to talk about this for now." The brigade commander waved his hand, "The first phase of the war has ended and it is much smoother than we expected. Next, it is time to enter the second phase of the combat mission."

Wang Ye continued: "Our original plan in the second phase was to concentrate the main force to capture Anhua County and annihilate the division headquarters of the 69th Division. However, considering that the Japanese army had converged the forces of the three strongholds along Tongpu Road into Anhua County in advance, and the Second Detachment's attack on Ping'an County was relatively smooth, I suggest making adjustments."

The brigade commander asked: "What do you mean is to give priority to solving the enemy in Ping'an County?"

"Yes, first solve the enemy in Ping'an County." Wang Ye said, "Then solve the enemy in Dong County, and finally concentrate the troops to solve the enemy in Anhua County! If the progress is not smooth, you can make timely adjustments."

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "And if nothing unexpected happens, the 69th Division of the Japanese Army must have asked for help from the First Army Command in Shanxi. The battlefield will inevitably be expanded from northwest Shanxi to the entire SX Province. The Taiyue Military Region and the Taihang Military Region must also be prepared to block in advance."

...

In Taiyuan, the First Army Headquarters.

"Haga, this idiot Inoue Sadae! What is he doing?"

"The Tujiao Route in northwest Shanxi launched such a large-scale attack, and they didn't notice it?"

After receiving a telegram from the 69th Division, the new commander of the First Army, Yoshimoto Satoshi, who had just arrived, was immediately angry and half-deathed.

Takuya Suwahara has long disliked Takaichi Sakamoto.

This will seize the opportunity, and naturally I will not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Takuya Suwabata said: "The Commander is unknown. You are the one who has just arrived at the office and don't really care about the specific affairs of the 69th Division."

Yoshimoto Sato was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What does it mean?"

Takuya Suwara said: "The Sixty-Ninth Division is actually Takaichi Sakamoto in command."

"Kun Sakamoto?" Yoshimoto said in surprise, "But before I came to Taiyuan, the general mentioned Kun Sakamoto to me specifically, saying that he was an extremely excellent chief of staff."

Takuya Suwahara's heart was terrified, but he didn't expect that even the general would admire Takaichi Sakamoto?

But this is not a problem for Takuya Mizuhara, and said: "The General's evaluation of Sakamoto Kwan is very accurate. Sakamoto Kwan is indeed a very excellent chief of staff, but he is not a qualified division commander."

"Well." Sadaichi Yoshimoto understood what Takuya Mizuhara meant.

Satoichi Yoshimoto said: "Muhun, you mean that Sakamoto is a master of his own eyes and is only suitable for being a chief of staff to make plans, but not as a division commander. Is that true?"

"The Commander has summarized it very well." Takuya Mizuhara said with a smile.

After a pause, Takuya Suwahara said: "There is such a kind of person in this world. When they serve as staff, they can always put forward unique insights from a unique perspective. However, when they sit in the command position and need to make decisions, they will become conservative, dull, and even stupid. This is what is called bystanders clear and those in the authorities are confused."

Yoshimoto Satoichi said: "This is actually human nature, because when serving as a staff officer, they only need to make suggestions, but not be responsible for their own suggestions. When they sit in the command position, they need to be responsible for every decision they make, because each decision will determine the success or failure of a battle, the life and death of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and may even determine the survival and death of an empire. Therefore, there will be more factors that they need to consider or worry about, and they will inevitably be affected by various factors when making decisions."

Takumi Mizuhara couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "The Commander is really thorough in looking at the problem. I've been taught by humble responsibilities."
Chapter completed!
