On the second day, the new Second Brigade and the New Third Brigade marched towards Shuozhou City in two ways in accordance with the unified order, and all the way was like a broken foot, and in just one day, they cleared out the various strongholds of the Japanese puppet army outside Shuozhou City and surrounded Shuozhou City."
Baga Road" stationed in Shuozhou, Changdao Dazuo, angrily slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the exquisite teacup instantly turned into ceramic shards all over the ground.Nagashima felt that the last two days had been bad luck, first the arms train was intercepted in his own defense area, and then the Japanese army of a reinforced brigade he sent to support was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.For this reason, the headquarters of the First Army, and even the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army, sent telegrams and even phone calls to severely reprimand Nagashima Daisa.This is not counting, in the past two days, the Eighth Route Army has carried out a large-scale sabotage war on the railway lines and highway networks in Shuozhou, and a large number of railways and highways have been destroyed, which is also a mess of Changdao Dazuo.More importantly, now, a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are approaching the direction of Shuozhou City, and a large number of strongholds outside the city have been lost, which makes Long Island Dazuo even more frightened."
Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, according to the current situation, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army gathered around Shuozhou City has reached more than 20,000 people.And now it has been ascertained that the Tu Eighth Road, which surrounded Shuozhou City, is the elite unit of the Eighth Route Army, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army. ”A devil officer next to him said with a respectful face."
What are they going to do," Nagashima yelled with a pair of dog-eyed eyes."
Your Excellency, Wing Commander, judging from the current situation, the encirclement of Shuozhou by the people of China is by no means a bluff."
The devil officer replied with a respectful face."
What do you mean is that they are going to attack Shuozhou City" Nagashima Daisa frowned and said: "With those Tu Ba Lu, how can they have the guts" "Your Excellency the Wing Commander does not have the courage to do this, but this seventh column is the absolute elite of the Eighth Route Army, and tens of thousands of imperial troops of the Tenth Division and the Independent Fifth Mixed Brigade a few months ago did not gain any advantage in the hands of this seventh column, and were finally defeated by the Eighth Route Army.Besides, the Eighth Route Army even dared to fight Suiyuan and Chahar, let alone a small Shuozhou city," the devil officer said cautiously with a frown."
Baga Ya Road" Nagashima Dazuo gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, sighed helplessly and said: "You are right, the Eighth Route Army at this time is no longer the group of soil and Eighth Route Army three years ago, in just three years, they continue to grow and develop, not only have become a big problem for the imperial army, but also have a huge threat to the rule of the imperial army in North China. ”"What His Excellency Captain Hay said is very true."
The devil officer said with a serious face.Nagashima Osa sighed deeply again, frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army, and His Excellency General Tada Jun, commander of the North China Dispatch Army, to report to the two commanders the situation in Shuozhou, and request His Excellency the commander to give tactical guidance immediately. ”The devil officer of "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly went to the confidential room to send a telegram for help.As night fell, the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army in Beiping was still brightly lit, and the busy figures of the staff officers of the headquarters shuttled to every corner of the headquarters, but the entire headquarters was surprisingly silent, revealing a thick and depressing atmosphere.Tada Jun stared coldly at the sand table in front of him, and a thick anger gathered on his face, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.Another day passed, and the units of the Eighth Route Army in North China made an all-out attack, once again destroying a large number of railways and highways, and destroying a large number of strongholds of the Japanese puppet army.Chief of Staff Yukio Kasawara hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of the Long Island Wing guarding Shuozhou, the seventh column of the main force of the Eighth Route Army has completed the encirclement of Shuozhou City, and it seems that it has the intention of attacking Shuozhou. ”"Nani's Seventh Column is this abominable Seventh Column again," Tada scolded loudly, gritting his teeth."
Shuozhou is currently in danger, and Nagashima Dazuo requests urgent tactical guidance."
Yukio Kasahara continued."
Bagaya Road" Tada Jun couldn't help but scold angrily, his eyes fell on the location of Shuozhou on the sand table, frowned and thought about it, and said with a serious face: "The Eighth Route Army is going to attack Shuozhou" "Hai" Kasahara Yukio responded respectfully, and then picked up the baton and pointed at the sand table and said: "Your Excellency Commander, please see, if the Eighth Route Army captures Shuozhou, the Eighth Route Army in the Jincha area and the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin will be connected, not only that, but the imperial army in the Datong area will also be completely surrounded by the Chinese army. ”"Yo Xi" Tada Jun nodded, frowned and said: "This is definitely not a simple sabotage operation, but an offense, a strategic attack.These hateful Tuba Road not only wanted to destroy all the railways and highways in North China and destroy the security and integrity of the imperial army, but also wanted to take the opportunity to enter the northern Shanxi region.These damn dirt roads, the appetite is getting bigger and bigger" "Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise. ”Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully.Tada Jun slammed his fist on the sand table, and said with an angry face: "Immediately telegraph to the commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, ordering him to immediately mobilize troops to support Shuozhou, no matter what, we must ensure that Shuozhou is not lost." ”"Report to the commander, Your Excellency Commander Yoshio Shinozuka has ordered the independent 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army to immediately support Shuozhou.However, this time, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka was worried that it would be difficult to relieve the siege of Shuozhou with only one independent 3rd Mixed Brigade, so he asked His Excellency the Commander to agree and ordered the Independent 9th Mixed Brigade stationed in Datong to go south to support Shuozhou. ”Yukio Kasahara said respectfully.Tada Jun frowned and thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there any movement in Suiyuan's Zhina army?"
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Sixth Column of the Eighth Route Army on the Suiyuan side has been moving frequently in recent times, and it seems that there are signs of launching a counteroffensive against Datong. ”Yukio Kasahara hurriedly replied."
What about the government army in Suiyuan," Tada Jun asked again."
Suiyuan's 35th Army and other units of the Zhina Army have not changed at present, but if we transfer troops from Datong to the south, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to attack Datong."
Yukio Kasahara said with a worried expression.aa2705221:
