Lieutenant General Seiichiro Kita, commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, sat on a fast-moving train, looking at the scenery passing by rapidly outside the window, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a trace of anxiety.At this moment, a devil officer hurriedly walked over, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, I just received a message from the army aviation, the imperial army reconnaissance plane found that the 15th Wing of the Imperial Army Infantry has all been shattered" "Poof", Kita Seiichiro stood up directly from his seat, stared at the devil officer in front of him, and asked with an unbelievable face: "What do you say and say it again" Hearing Kita Cheng's group full of angry words, The devil officer trembled with fright, and said cautiously with courage: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the army aviation said that the battle has ended, and the whereabouts of the imperial army can no longer be found within a radius of dozens of miles, and we have lost contact with the 15th Wing, so the 15th Wing may have been completely shattered." ”When Kita Seiichiro heard this, he couldn't help but look dark, and almost fell to the ground, the devil officer had been secretly observing Kita Seiichiro, seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward, helped Kita Seiichiro, and asked with a concerned face: "Your Excellency the division commander, are you okay?"
It was not until this moment that Kita Seiichiro reacted from the shock, reached out and grabbed the devil officer's collar, and asked loudly: "The 15th Wing has nearly 4,000 people, how can it be completely wiped out by a group of dirt and eight roads in this short period of time, There's no way you're mistaken, tell me if you're wrong. ”He couldn't believe it when he received the telegram, but after repeated confirmations, it was indeed true.The reconnaissance planes of the Army Airlines really can't find the whereabouts of the Imperial Army, and we have lost contact with them," the devil officer said tremblingly."
Yaga" Kita Seiichiro was suddenly furious, pushed the devil officer to the ground, and shouted loudly: "All the waste is a rice bucket" The devil officer hurriedly got up from the ground, thinking that Kita Seiichiro was scolding him, and hurriedly responded respectfully: "Hai is humble, and I hope that His Excellency the division commander will be angry" Unexpectedly, Kita Seiichiro continued to scold: "Ishihara Shozo, this bastard is a complete stupid pig, an elite wing, and he was buried by this bastard."
The face of the Imperial Japanese Army has made this fool lose everything" The devil officer reacted at this time, it turned out that he was not scolding himself, but scolding Ishihara Shozo, but at this time Kita Seiichiro was obviously angry, and the devil officer didn't dare to say anything, or even dare to leave, so he could only stand there with his head bowed respectfully, silently praying in his heart that His Excellency the division commander could calm the anger in his heart as soon as possible.A wing of Japanese troops was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, and you can imagine how angry Kita Chengro was in his heart at this time.Their 14th Division only had four infantry wings in total, and now they had just entered the boundary of Shanxi, and they were annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.Seiichiro Kita scolded angrily, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that his mood gradually calmed down, and then he brought the hapless devil officer over again.He asked aloud: "I ask you, who did what kind of troops were able to wipe out our 15th Infantry Wing in just half a day." ”"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to the information obtained so far, it is likely that the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army is engaged with the 15th Wing this time."
The devil officer hurriedly replied."
Yaga Yalu" Kita Seiichiro couldn't help but scolded loudly: "It's this seventh column again, it's this damn seventh column again" Although Kita Seiichiro has never fought with the seventh column, he has long heard of this seventh column.Just before he left Beiping and was about to rush to the front line in Shanxi, Tada Jun also specially explained that if he encountered this seventh column in the northern Shanxi region, he must pay special attention to it, and if it is possible, he must do his best to annihilate it.At that time, Kita Seiichiro was somewhat unimpressed, thinking that a group of dirt eight roads, no matter how powerful they were, it was still earth eight roads, and they couldn't be compared with the elite of the imperial army under him.But what Seiichiro Kita never dreamed of was that before his own people arrived in Shanxi, the seventh column gave himself a blow to the head, and an integrated wing was completely annihilated by the seventh column."
Yaga Yalu, I'm going to break these bastards into pieces," Seiichiro Kita couldn't help but roar loudly.At this time, the chief of staff came over and said with a respectful expression: "Your Excellency the division commander has come to this point in calming his anger, and it is useless to be angry again.The top priority at the moment should be considered as to how to annihilate the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army and get rid of this great trouble. ”"Yaga, do you still need you to remind me," Seiichiro Kita scolded angrily."
Hai is a humble speech, and I hope that His Excellency the division commander will calm his anger."
The devil's chief of staff hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.Kita Seiichiro took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and brought himself back to his senses, and then asked with a serious face: "How long do we have to get to Niangziguan Station now?"
"Your Excellency, at the current speed, we will need at least about three hours to reach Niangziguan Station.However, the 2nd Infantry Wing is estimated to arrive at Niangziguan Station within an hour. ”The devil's chief of staff hurriedly replied.Kita Seiichiro frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately order the 2nd Infantry Wing, after rushing to the Niangziguan Station, immediately stop advancing and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops."
In addition, the rest of the troops were ordered to immediately rush to Niangziguan Station to assemble and standby.At the same time, he urged the 4th Division, the 46th Division, the 47th Division and other units to enter the Jin as soon as possible. ”"Hai" The devil's chief of staff responded respectfully, and was just about to turn around to convey the order, when something suddenly sounded, and he turned to Kita Seiichiro and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, about the matter of the 15th Infantry Wing, do you want to report to His Excellency the Commander" Kita Seiichiro couldn't help frowning, sighed helplessly, thinking that what should come is always coming, and he can't stop it, and said dejectedly: "You think such a big thing has happened, Can you hide it from Your Excellency the Commander, I will personally send a telegram of plea to His Excellency the Commander, and report it to His Excellency the Commander truthfully. ”"Hai" AA2705221:
