Chapter 80 Shinozuka Yinan’s rage!
Taro Miyamoto nodded helplessly and said: "Ikeda-kun is right, sooner or later you can't hide it."
"After all, a full infantry regiment was completely eaten by the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. How could such a huge loss of troops be concealed?"
Kenjiro Ikeda then said in a solemn voice: "Your Excellency, General, please request Your Excellency, Commander, to mobilize the Yamamoto special agent team to assist us and get rid of Xu Rui."
"Then, the situation of the Sakata Regiment being completely wiped out by the enemy must be reported to the commander!"
"Otherwise, it would be difficult to conceal this matter!"
Taro Miyamoto nodded helplessly, thinking about it over and over again. He didn't want to report it to Shinozuka Yinan.
Otherwise, what should I do if Shinozuka Yinan wants to fire him from the post of brigade commander after he finds out?
After all, Shinozuka Yinan is the commander of the Imperial Army's First Army, and he certainly has the right to replace the brigade commander of the fourth brigade under his command.
Thinking of this, Taro Miyamoto had no choice, so he said to Kenjiro Ikeda: "Send a report to the headquarters and report that the Sakata Regiment under my brigade was completely wiped out by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army."
"Let's start with the encirclement battle at Niujialing and report to the headquarters in detail how the rest of the Bantian Regiment was completely wiped out in Heyuan County."
Seeing this, Ikeda Kenjiro said in a solemn voice: "Yes, Your Excellency, General."
Immediately, Kenjiro Ikeda waved to Major Jiro Inaba, communications staff officer of the brigade headquarters, who came out of the communications room again and was waiting aside, and said: "Did you hear that? Follow the instructions of His Majesty the General and report to the headquarters!".
"In addition, I would like to ask the commander to send Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team here in Jinghai County to assist our fourth brigade in carrying out a beheading operation against Xu Rui from the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army behind enemy lines."
Inaba Jiro looked serious and paused heavily: "Yes, Chief of Staff! I understand this humble position!" Immediately, the Japanese immediately turned around and returned to the communications room, ordering his Japanese communications soldiers to send a report to the Japanese First Army Headquarters.
After Jiro Inaba walked away, Kenjiro Ikeda said to Taro Miyamoto: "Your Excellency, General, what should we do before the Yamamoto special agent team comes to Keikai County?".
"Should we mobilize the remaining forces of the brigade to counterattack the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army?"
Hearing this, Taro Miyamoto stared at the map for a while, then frowned and said to Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda: "Ikeda-kun, we now want to deal with Xu Rui's troops."
"The remaining infantry regiment of the brigade may not be able to push back the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
After a pause, he pointed at the map and sand table on the table in front of him, and said in a solemn voice: "I'm afraid we need to strengthen the strength of at least one more infantry regiment, to gather enough strength for a brigade, to be able to push back this enemy force.
.”.
"An enemy force that can eat up the entire Sakata Regiment cannot be underestimated."
Seeing this, Kenjiro Ikeda suddenly became serious.
It was very rare to be able to force Taro Miyamoto to concentrate the strength of a full brigade in order to counterattack the enemy force of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
At least during Kenjiro Ikeda's career as a staff officer, it was rare for an enemy force to require the strength of a brigade of the Imperial Army to launch a counterattack.
However, even if the imperial army of the Sakata Regiment, which was able to defeat two divisions, was completely wiped out by the Central Army, how could one expect Taro Miyamoto to concentrate the remaining infantry regiment to attack the Shanxi-Sui Army? 303
group?
"Then General, we are just waiting for the commander to transfer Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team to Kyokai County before we take action?"
Kenjiro Ikeda said in a serious voice.
"If the Yamamoto Special Forces can behead Xu Rui behind enemy lines, then without Xu Rui, the morale of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army will be reduced by at least half."
Taro Miyamoto had his own plan and said: "At that time, we will order most of the Chongteng Regiment to attack Heyuan County and suppress the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which has lost its soul figure Xu Rui. It should be twice the result with half the effort."
"If the Yamamoto special agent team fails by then, then we will have no choice but to ask the commander for additional troops to support our brigade!"
After hearing this, Ikeda Kenjiro secretly thought in his heart, "The General really thinks so."
So, Kenjiro Ikeda said: "That's a way!".
"But before the Yamamoto Special Agent Team arrives in Jinghai County, we can't do nothing. We will send out the reconnaissance elites in the brigade and try our best to find out the situation of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army before the Yamamoto Special Agent Team arrives. That's it.
, get ready! Ikeda-kun."
Taro Miyamoto then said.
"In this matter, I will personally support the deployment. General, please rest assured!"
Kenjiro Ikeda immediately said in a serious tone.
"Then we'll wait for a call back from the headquarters."
Taro Miyamoto said bitterly: "I guess the commander will call me back and scold me Taro Miyamoto, Ikeda-kun."
"Your Excellency, General, it is said that the Sakata Regiment was completely wiped out, and the responsibility actually lies in the hands of this guy Nobori Sakata."
Kenjiro Ikeda defended Taro Miyamoto: "If Sakata Nobuzuki hadn't underestimated the enemy, how could we have reached this point?".
"In addition, the front-line combat commander is Sakata Nobori! Your Excellency, the General, only learned about the battle situation in Yinhegou and other places after receiving a report from Sakata Nobori."
After a pause, Ikeda Kenjiro said, "Actually speaking, most of the responsibility does not lie with the General, but in the hands of Sakata Nobori."
"Now that I say this, it can be regarded as comfort, Ikeda-kun, I know. Just wait for the call back from the Commander!"
Taro Miyamoto waved his hands and said with a wry smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty General!"
Kenjiro Ikeda also nodded helplessly and said.
While he was talking, Inaba Jiro ordered the Japanese communications troops under his command to send the radio waves to the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City. The radio waves had been received by the Japanese communications soldiers on duty inside the Japanese First Army Headquarters.
After translating and reading the complete telegram message sent by the Fourth Brigade, the Japanese communications soldier on duty hurried to another room and woke up his immediate superior, Major Kitamura Junyi, who was sleeping.
"Sir, sir, wake up, wake up!"
The Japanese communications soldier took the telegram, then shook Kitamura Junyi, the Japanese communications staff officer, on the shoulder and whispered.
"Baga, what happened? Did you wake me up at this time?"
Major Shunyi Kitamura, who was woken up by someone and was very sleepy, said with an unhappy face.
"Sir, I received a telegram from the 4th Brigade. It's an urgent military situation! I'm afraid you need to take a look, sir!"
The Japanese communication soldier said quickly in a low voice.
"What? A telegram from the Fourth Brigade?"
Upon hearing this, Major Kitamura Junyi, who knew that the 4th Brigade was also very important, immediately lost most of his sleepiness, and then quickly took the telegram from his communications soldier, and read it with solemn eyes under the light in the room.
After reading it, Kitamura Junyi took a breath of cold air, and immediately ordered in a low voice to the communications soldier who reported the situation: "Don't tell anyone about this, I will report it to the commander immediately!".
"Yes, sir!"
Of course, the Japanese communications soldiers in the communications room of the Japanese First Army Headquarters who reported the situation did not dare to speak loudly about the contents of the telegram, and quickly nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Kitamura Junyi immediately ran out of his duty office, ran out of the headquarters door, walked around in a circle, and knocked on the wooden door of the house where Shinozuka Yinan was resting.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
A knock on the door suddenly sounded in the night, and soon the lights in the house came on.
"Squeak, squeak!!!"
As the door opened one after another, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshinami, the commander of the Japanese First Army, walked inside the house and opened the door. When he saw that it was Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters, he rubbed his eyes and said,
After yawning heavily, he said dissatisfiedly: "It's Kitamura-san, what's the matter? You're so anxious to wake me up?".
"Report to your Excellency, Commander, that we have received an urgent war message from the Fourth Brigade!"
With that said, he quickly handed the telegram in his hand to Shinozuka Yinan.
When Shinozuka Yinan heard this, he didn't know why, but he still read the telegram.
The telegram sent by the Fourth Brigade had a lot of content, and the old Japanese soldier Shinozuka Yinan had to read it for at least two minutes with the help of the light in the room before he could read the contents of the telegram.
But after reading it, the old devil Shinozuka Yinan suddenly became furious.
