"Haha" Tanabe Moritake laughed proudly, nodded and said: "It's still the help of the monarchs, the imperial warriors are working hard, and my role is really minimal." ”Although he said this, the blind man could see how proud Tanabe Moritake was at this time, but all the people present were his subordinates, and naturally no one dared to say something that was very disturbing to the scenery, even if the person next to him saw a major general, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on the surface, always with a smile on his face, and occasionally said a word or two of flattery.A few little devils chatted for a while, and at this time, a little devil quickly ran up to the city wall and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, Your Excellency the commander of Okabe is in an emergency. ”As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a telegram in his hand.Tanabe Moritake stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it carefully, nodded slightly, and said: "Your Excellency the Commander of the Okabe of Zhujun sent a telegram, very satisfied with the achievements of the imperial army, and asked us to take advantage of the victory to pursue, rush to Datong as soon as possible, and then counterattack Suiyuan.In his telegram, Commander Okabe also reminded that according to the discovery of the imperial army's reconnaissance planes, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army had been found in the area from Yangguantun to Nanshaling, west of Yanggao, and that these Eighth Route Armies were building fortifications along the way in an attempt to block the imperial army's attack on Suiyuan. ”"Your Excellency General, since the Imperial Army has captured Yanggao County, I think that there is no need for us to stay in Yanggao, and we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army, rush to Datong, and then go north to attack Suiyuan."
Jiro Miyajima said with a respectful face."
Yo Xigong Daojun is right, since this is the case, the imperial army will set off immediately, and it will be the same."
Moritake Tanabe nodded and said."
Your Excellency General Hai is wise, and our chariot brigade is willing to serve as the vanguard of the imperial army and sweep away all the dirt roads that dare to block us for the imperial army."
Jiro Miyajima pleaded with a sincere face."
Yo Xi" Tanabe Moritake nodded with satisfaction and said: "Miyajima-kun is worthy of being the pillar of the empire, and with Miyajima-kun personally stepping out, he will definitely be able to make those hateful dirt roads flee from the wind."
In this case, please leave it to Miyajima-kun. ”"Thank you, Your Excellency, it is the duty of your humble duty to serve the Empire, and if Your Excellency General has no other orders, then your humble duty will lead the troops to set off."
Jiro Miyajima said with a happy face."
Well, let's go, my 41st Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade will be the strong backing of your tank brigade, and you must be like a sharp knife to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."
Moritake Tanabe said with a smile."
Hai, please rest assured that my tank brigade will definitely not live up to your high expectations."
Jiro Miyajima said with a respectful face, then bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the castle."
Yo Xi," Moritake Tanabe nodded with satisfaction.The person next to him looked at the back of Miyajima Jiro gradually moving away, and then turned to look at Tanabe Moritake with a smug face, and thought disapplausively: If we had the help of the chariot brigade at the beginning, we would still be able to easily defeat the Eighth Route Army.In Higami Kazuichi's opinion, the 41st Division was able to defeat the resistance of the Eighth Route Army's six columns, entirely because of the help of the tank brigade, not that they were really stronger than the independent second mixed brigade, at best, it was just the luck of Tanabe Moritake, just in time for this time, the dispatch army transferred a tank brigade.Seeing that Tanabe Moritake suddenly looked at him, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, if Your Excellency has no other orders, you will go back and prepare for it, and then immediately lead your troops to set off and march in the direction of Datong." ”"Yoxi's troops are about to be mobilized, and there are indeed many things that need to be dealt with, in that case, let's go back and prepare first," Tanabe Moritake nodded and said."
Hay retired."
Seeing that he replied respectfully, he turned and walked down the city wall.At this time, the headquarters of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army was already in chaos, and the staff officers were busy entering and entering, all packing up their things and preparing to retreat.Li Guotao stood at the door, smoking a cigarette continuously, his brows furrowed deeply, showing a hint of worry.Ma Zhenguo, who was standing next to him, said with a serious face: "The last unit of the sixth column has also withdrawn through our army's defense line, and they have all retreated in the direction of Fengzhen.The artillery regiment and other units directly under our column have also begun to retreat, and the headquarters, field hospitals, and other units are also seizing the time to prepare for retreat.It is said that the little devil has already left Yanggao County and rushed to our side, but when the Sixth Column retreated, a lot of mines were laid along the way, which should be able to stop the little devil for a while. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Then it's good that after the retreat of the troops directly under the column, the Anguo Independent Regiment also retreated, leaving only two battalions of troops to be responsible for breaking the rear. ”"Isn't the strength of two battalions too small?"
Ma Zhenguo asked with a frown."
The little devil's chariot brigade is too powerful, and with the defense line of Yang Guanying, it can't stop the devil's attack at all.Since you can't stop the little devils, you have too many troops left, and it is not very convenient to retreat. ”Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said.Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, it's just that your method can really deal with the devil's chariot brigade." ”Li Guotao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem."
You go to the confidential room and ask them to send a telegram to the special operations team asking how they are preparing and how long it will take. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied, turned around and walked towards the confidential room.Li Guotao looked down at the cigarette in his hand, a cigarette was almost finished, Li Guotao pinched the cigarette butt and put it to his mouth and took two puffs, and then flicked the cigarette butt to the ground.At this time, Yang Erhu suddenly hurried over, saw Li Guotao standing at the door, hurriedly walked over, frowned and asked: "Commander, we really want to retreat It took us almost two days to build this defense line, did you give up like this" Li Guotao glanced at Yang Erhu, frowned and said with a smile: "Haha, I thought that Changde would definitely come to me and ask me why after hearing the news of the retreat, but I didn't expect Changde, this old boy, to be very obedient this time, I asked him to go to Nanshaling with the New Seventh Regiment, He obediently went, and he didn't even ask why, but he was the first to come and ask me. ”aa2705221:
