Chapter 177 This time, Shinozuka Yinan has spent a lot of money!

Xu Rui nodded solemnly and said: "Inform the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping who is guarding Dabei Mountain outside the city and the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming who is guarding Xiaobei Mountain about this situation."

"Order the two of you to prepare for air defense and the enemy's artillery group to prepare for artillery bombardment after the air raid is over!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and then signaled to a staff officer on the side: "Inform the two of you according to the order of the regiment."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

The staff officer responded and walked to a table not far behind, picked up the phone and directly informed Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming of the situation of the Japanese bomber fleet.

At this time, Luo Youdu continued to say to Xu Rui: "Tuanzuo, this time, Shinozuka Yinan has spent a lot of money.".

"Thirty Type 96 land attack aircraft cooperated with Taro Nagata's ground troops to attack the city, which was indeed beyond my expectation. I thought that Shinozuka Yinan could only command and deploy a dozen Japanese bombers at most."

Xu Rui smiled and said: "Actually, chief of staff, if you think about it, we have annihilated more than 11,000 Japanese in total."

"So many Japs have been annihilated, and we were still in the previous war and killed the Japs Prince Fushimi Miya Toshihiko. In this way, Shinozuka Yinan must have killed us quickly. Various factors mobilized so many

I think now that the bombers are dealing with us, it may be considered an extreme priority for our 303rd Regiment."

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu smiled and said: "You are right, Tuan Zuo."

"Being able to force Shinozuka Yoshinan to mobilize so many troops and bombers to coordinate with the air and ground to deal with us really shows the importance of our 303rd Regiment. It seems that the previous battles have hurt Shinozuka Yoshinan a bit."

Xu Rui nodded, then looked outside the city, and then said: "The Japanese bomber fleet is about to attack, so we don't have to watch from the south gate."

"Go back to the air defense headquarters in South Gate City!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Let's go, group seat."

"Um!!"

Xu Rui nodded. Of course, it was impossible for the headquarters to be placed at the top of the South Gate. After all, the Japs were going to launch air raids and bombings. The top of the South Gate would definitely be a key target for bombing.

Immediately, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu returned to an air defense bunker headquarters somewhere in Nanmen City under the protection of guards.

This headquarters is a certain distance away from the South City Gate, so it is relatively safe.

The reason why the headquarters was not placed in the regiment headquarters in the city was mainly due to the convenience of command.

There are mountains on the east and west sides of Jinghai County. It is more difficult to attack the city from the east gate and west gate.

Therefore, the enemy's focus must be to attack the south gate.

As for the North Gate, it would be more difficult for the Japs to bypass the east and west sides and attack the North Gate.

Therefore, Xu Rui directly placed the wartime headquarters in the South Gate City, not far from the South Gate, so that he could command the battle nearby.

In particular, as long as Dabei Mountain in the southwest corner and Xiaobei Mountain in the southeast corner outside Nanmen City are not lost, Taro Nagata, the old devil, will definitely not be able to break through Jinghai County.

It is possible that the goal of wiping out 10,000 enemies in a week's fierce battle with the Japs in Jinghai County can be achieved.

At this time, before the Japanese bombers flew over Jinghai County to carry out bombing.

In Taiyuan City, at the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Five or six Japanese staff officers were constantly at the table with the map in the middle of the command room, constantly sliding the small flags on the map to mark the latest situation between the enemy and ourselves in northwestern Shanxi.

Jinghai County is very eye-catching on this map.

"Commander, the 30 Type 96 land attack aircraft are less than fifteen minutes away from the sky above Jinghai County."

Major General Michichi Miyano, chief of staff of the Japanese First Army Headquarters, pointed to the situation between the enemy and ourselves on the map marked by the headquarters staff, and said: "Taro Nagata reported five minutes ago that all preparations have been made for the siege of Kyokai County.

”.

“Yo Xi!!!”

Shinozuka Yinan looked at the map of northwestern Shanxi, nodded, and said in a solemn voice: "With an army of 30,000, in the hands of Taro Nagata, let's see if we can capture Kyohai County before twelve o'clock at noon."

"Commander, it should be possible."

Major General Miyano Michichi, Chief of Staff of the First Army Headquarters, was very confident. He had spent such a huge amount of money this time, and it would not work. He immediately said: "With such a strong concentration of aviation forces and ground forces, we cannot defeat Keihai County."

, then it will appear that the imperial army’s combat effectiveness is weak.”

"However, given the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, it would not be a problem for a 30,000-strong army to defeat the 200,000 elite members of Chang Kaishen's direct line of the Central Army. What's more, the enemy's 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army has a total strength of only five or six thousand.

Maybe, it’s not that big yet.”

After a pause, Miyano Michichi continued, "Commander, with a strength advantage of at least five to six to one, it is impossible for the imperial army to fall into Xu Rui's hands this time."

"Hard to say."

Shinozuka Yinan said with solemn eyes: "Miyano-kun also knows that the previous Fourth Brigade was so destroyed."

"Don't underestimate the enemy!"

Seeing this, Miyano Michichi quickly nodded and said, "That's what the commander said."

"Then send a special report to Taro Nagata and ask him to attack the city carefully. The enemy commander Xu Rui cannot be underestimated. After all, the record of more than 10,000 imperial troops being killed by this man cannot be erased.

.”

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said: "In addition, Taro Nagata is strictly ordered to report the latest situation to the headquarters in a timely manner in the event of serious losses."

"The actual losses on the battlefield must not be concealed."

"Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"

Seeing this, Miyano Michichi said: "Commander, is this okay?".

"After all, General Taro Nagata is the division commander."

Shinozuka Yinan shook his head and said, "This is necessary."

"The enemy we are facing is not the enemy that we have encountered so easily before!"

"I need to know the latest battlefield losses in a timely manner, especially the losses of our troops."

Seeing this, Miyano Michichi said: "Yes, Commander."

Immediately, Miyano Michichi waved his hand to the waiting communications staff officer, Major Kitamura Shuki, to immediately return to the communications office of the headquarters and ask someone to send instructions to the commander of the Japanese 36th Division, Lieutenant General Nagata Taro.

A few minutes later, Taro Nagata received the latest telegram from Shinozuka Yoshinan of the Japanese First Army Headquarters in his military headquarters.

"The commander is a little worried about our siege!"

After Taro Nagata read the telegram, he handed it to the division chief of staff, Major General Taketo Kenzaburo, and said.

"After all, he killed more than 10,000 elite enemy commanders of the imperial army. Xu Rui is already on the commander's list and must be taken very seriously."

The chief of staff of the 36th Division, Kenzaburo Taketo, understood Shinozuka Yinan's caution and said: "If we suffer too many casualties during the siege later, will the division commander follow the commander's instructions and send a report to the headquarters?"

.

"certainly."

Unexpectedly, Nagata Taro nodded and said: "The commander has already called and said so. There is no way we can hide it and not report it."

"That's what the division commander said."

Kenzaburo Taketo nodded and said.

"How long does it take for the aviation bomber fleet to arrive over Jinghai County?"

Later, Nagata Taro asked Taketo Kenzaburo.

"There are about ten minutes left, division commander."

Looking at the time on his watch, the division chief of staff Kenzaburo Taketo replied.
