Chapter 78 The killing order!

"Your Majesty General, it's true!"

Jiro Inaba hurriedly handed the secret farewell telegram to Major General Taro Miyamoto, and said bitterly: "Now we can no longer use the radio to contact the Sakata Regiment Headquarters."

"There is only one possibility. The radio station of Bantian Wing Headquarters has been destroyed by the enemy, or it was actively destroyed by the communications troops of Bantian Wing Headquarters. As a result, the brigade and regiment headquarters are unable to contact Bantian Wing Headquarters. Your Excellency, General

."

After hearing this, Taro Miyamoto grabbed the secret farewell telegram and brought it over, and then quickly read it.

As he watched the end, Major General Taro Miyamoto's face became gloomy, as if he was about to burst into anger at any time.

"Bang!!!"

After reading the contents of the secret farewell telegram sent by Sakata Nobori, Miyamoto Taro couldn't help it anymore. He directly smashed the telegram in his hand on the table in front of him and said angrily: "Eight squares

Damn it, Sakata Nobori, this waste, is so incompetent."

"The elite imperial army who personally commanded an entire infantry brigade were stationed in Heyuan County, a solid county town in northwestern Shanxi Province. In just over an hour, they were completely devoured."

Taking a breath, Miyamoto Taro said angrily with a ferocious face: "Trash, trash, incompetent guy!".

"They actually lost an entire elite infantry regiment of mine in less than a week!"

Seeing that Taro Miyamoto was scolding him with almost no time to breathe, Colonel Kenjiro Ikeda, the chief of staff of the 4th Brigade, bit the bullet and persuaded him: "General, please calm down!".

"How can I calm down? Ikeda-kun!"

Taro Miyamoto picked up the telegram that was slapped on the table, handed it to Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda, and continued to curse: "Sakata Nobori, this loser, wiped out all his capital in such a short period of time."

"In the past, he was able to defeat the elite troops of two divisions of the Zina Central Army in one blow. Now, facing an ordinary infantry regiment at the regiment level of the Jinsui Army, he was actually counterattacked and annihilated.

, if you tell me, this is simply a shame for my Fourth Brigade. What will other colleagues in the Imperial Army think of me, Taro Miyamoto?"

Kenjiro Ikeda bit the bullet and took the secret farewell telegram and read it.

After reading it, Kenjiro Ikeda was speechless.

"Your Excellency General, the matter is now at this point. It is basically confirmed that the entire regiment led by Sakata Nobori has been killed at the hands of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."

Kenjiro Ikeda put down the telegram and said helplessly: "Now, Heyuan County has been captured by the enemy."

"Your Majesty General, should the Ishida brigade that is reinforcing Sakata Nobori continue to move north to regain Heyuan County, or should it withdraw its troops and return south?"

Upon hearing this, Taro Miyamoto's angry mood suddenly dropped a little. He immediately put his hands on the table and looked at the Heyuan County on the map and sand table, as well as the reinforcement route of the Ishida Infantry Brigade of the Chongteng Regiment heading north for reinforcements.

.

"Inaba-san!"

Taro Miyamoto said directly to Major Jiro Inaba, the communications staff officer of the brigade headquarters who was standing by: "Immediately send a report directly to Captain Ishida Onshu of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Shigeto Regiment and ask him about his current arrival position northward.

.”.

"Yes, Your Majesty General!"

Inaba Jiro hurriedly paused and was about to turn around and return to the communication room when he was stopped by Miyamoto Taro.

"Stop!"

Taro Miyamoto stopped Jiro Inaba and said: "The rest of the Sakata Regiment has been completely wiped out by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and the Heyuan County has been lost. Let's take a look at Ishida Onshu."

"Let Ishida Onshu not expand this situation. The news that the Sakata Regiment was completely wiped out by the enemy can be kept hidden for as long as possible. How long can it be kept temporarily?"

Inaba Jiro said solemnly: "Yes, Your Excellency General! I understand this humble position!".

Immediately, Miyamoto Taro waved his hand to indicate that he could go away.

After Jiro Inaba walked away and returned to his communication room, Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda, who was listening to Taro Miyamoto's words, said in a serious voice: "General, are you worried that the enemy will publicize the record of annihilating the Sakata Regiment?".

"yes!"

Taro Miyamoto said helplessly: "Once this news gets out, it will definitely boost the morale of the enemy troops."

"And for the imperial army, if an elite infantry regiment is completely wiped out, it will definitely be a blow. We can only hope that the enemy commander has no intention of hyping up the fighter planes!"

Hearing this, Kenjiro Ikeda shook his head silently.

How can this be?

If he, Kenjiro Ikeda, were Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, he would definitely trumpet the record of annihilating the Bantian Regiment.

After all, this is a huge victory for them. How could the other side miss this opportunity to damage the morale of the imperial army?

It's just that I don't know now.

Taro Miyamoto asked Ishida Onshu, the Japs commander of the reinforcements, not to spread the news that the Sakata Regiment had been wiped out by the enemy, but he was actually just deceiving himself.

If the enemy commander Xu Rui takes the initiative to spread the word, it will be in vain.

For a moment, the two Japs, Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro, looked at each other speechlessly.

A few minutes later, Inaba Jiro quickly walked out of the communications room of the brigade headquarters again. After walking vigorously in front of two old Japanese, Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro, he paused and said: "Your Excellency, General, Chief of Staff, Ishida Onshu.

Call back, they are now away from Heyuan County, and the reinforcements have arrived about seven or eight kilometers away from Heyuan County."

"Actually, Major Ishida Onshu called back and reported that he would not be able to arrive outside Heyuan County until at least around four o'clock in the morning."

Hearing this, Taro Miyamoto and Kenjiro Ikeda looked at the map and sand table placed on the table in front of them.

Kenjiro Ikeda pointed to two locations on the map and the sand table, and said: "Your Excellency, General, here!".

"The road is rugged, and on the way to reinforcements, there are booby traps laid by the enemy that slow down the advancement of reinforcements!"

After taking the reply telegram from Jiro Inaba and reading it, Taro Miyamoto said with a gloomy face: "It seems that Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, has realized that we will start from the Huting stronghold and the Xu family

Town, Hanjia Town mobilized the infantry brigade of Ishida Onshu to go north to reinforce Sakata Nobori."

"They must have sent a small force south to lay booby traps along the way as the reinforcements moved north, slowing down the march of the reinforcements. Damn it, how cunning and cunning!"

Kenjiro Ikeda said solemnly, "Your Excellency General, the enemy commander Xu Rui has learned that the Imperial Army's reinforcements are heading north."

"They are probably ready for battle. Now the remaining Bantian Regiment and the Imperial Alliance Army in Heyuan County have been eaten by the enemy. There are only a thousand reinforcements. Even if they fight to the gates of Heyuan County now, there is no point.

."

After a pause, Kenjiro Ikeda continued, "According to the secret telegram sent by Sakata Nobori, the enemy troops besieging Heyuan County include three infantry battalions and a fully-equipped enemy regiment-level unit, with strong combat effectiveness."

"It is a reinforcement of the infantry brigade commanded by Ishida Onshu. It is no longer possible to recapture Heyuan County."

Although Taro Miyamoto did not want to believe that the combat effectiveness of the imperial army was weaker than the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, an enemy unit that was not well known before.

However, the current result is that Sakata Nobori and his infantry regiment were eaten up by others in less than a week.

"I really want to issue a killing order! Ikeda-kun!"

Taro Miyamoto suddenly said through gritted teeth.
