"What did you say?" Okamura Neji said fiercely: "28th Regiment, idiot, you know where the 28th Regiment is, how could they come to Haiwan Mountain hundreds of kilometers away!"
Back when the arsenal was attacked.
Mizuno Asahi reported the attack on the arsenal to his superiors as a routine matter.
When Okamura Neiji saw this message, he didn't take it seriously. He reviewed it as a routine and put it aside.
It would be fine if they were ordinary troops, but the incoming troops were the 28th Regiment, and Okamura Neiji couldn't sit still.
Mizuno Asahi's face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and he said: "After a humble analysis, the commander of the attack on the arsenal, no matter from every aspect, is very similar to the style of the 28th Regiment.
Especially the firepower configuration on the opposite side is completely different from the Tubal Road here, so I suspect that the person who attacked the arsenal is the 28th Regiment."
The nearby Eighth Route Army also knew that there was an arsenal inside, but due to strength issues, they never captured it.
Basically, every time you come, you will be pushed back.
Therefore, in this area, the Haiwanshan Arsenal is not a secret.
The troops who know it can't take it, and the troops who don't know it don't know it either.
But the 28th Regiment is different. This is a ruthless group that can resist the attack of a brigade, but in the end, it defeats that brigade and throws away its armor.
Unable to hear Neji Okamura speak, Mizuno Asahi added: "Even if they are not the 28th Regiment, they should still be the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Please Commander, please send troops to support immediately!
The Mizuno Brigade will cooperate with the supporting troops to encircle and destroy this attacking force!"
Okamura Neji suddenly realized that the guy on the other end of the phone had been urging him to send troops for support.
Is it possible…
"What happened to the arsenal?" Neji Okamura yelled into the phone.
Okamura Neiji once boasted that the only way to defeat the troops at the Haiwanshan Arsenal was the Imperial Army's own troops. Both the National Army and the Eighth Route Army had to stay back.
But the arsenal actually took the initiative to call for support, which proved that the matter was very serious.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, General, the arsenal is currently very safe. The warriors are resisting with all their strength. That force has been contained here by us!
General, please send troops to support immediately, surround this unit, and completely wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"
Mizuno Asahi was stubborn and did not dare to say anything about the fact that a gunner appeared on the opposite side and destroyed their machine gun positions one after another.
"吆西!"
Hearing that the arsenal was fine, Okamura Neji's expression softened a little: "Support will arrive soon. During this period, your team must protect the safety of the arsenal.
The arsenal is very important to the imperial army and must not fall into the hands of Tubal Road!"
"Hai!" Mizuno Asahi responded.
After Mizuno Asahi hung up the phone, his face was full of excitement.
Regardless of whether the 28th regiment is on the opposite side, it is definitely the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
The arsenal has been peaceful all year round, with almost no major battles.
The Eighth Route Army would not mobilize a large number of troops here to deal with an arsenal. Today's opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although the arsenal suffered some early blows, the problem was not serious. Even though the machine gun fortress was lost, the Eighth Route Army troops still suppressed them on the outside.
The advantage is still on our side.
Mizuno Asahi didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army attacking the arsenal outside could keep up its fierce firepower.
Okamura Neji looked at the map in front of him with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Yoshio Shinozuka bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, General, what happened to the arsenal?"
"The troops stationed at the arsenal said that the arsenal was attacked." Okamura Neiji said: "It is said that they said it was suspected to be the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
"Regiment 28?" Yoshio Shinozuka's scalp was numb.
This number gave Yoshio Shinozuka too many negative emotions.
After thinking for a while, Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Your Excellency, General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but how could even the 28th Regiment come to our vicinity so quickly?"
"Immediately send people from the Intelligence Division to investigate this matter. We must find out who attacked the arsenal!" Okamura Neji said solemnly.
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice, "I'll make arrangements right away!"
Okamura Neji waved his hand casually and continued to look at the map.
At present, everything is as Okamura Neji expected, when the Eighth Route Army attacked the troops they were changing defenses.
He also sent troops to attack various bases of the Eighth Route Army, but there was no victory as imagined.
Therefore, all the attacking troops were stuck in place, trapped in the quagmire of war, and unable to escape in a short time.
The stronger troops resisted directly.
Some weak bases engaged in sparrow warfare, ambush warfare, guerrilla warfare, and positional warfare with his troops.
He always leads his troops everywhere like walking a dog, making the whole battlefield a mess.
What troubled Okamura Neiji was that the stronghold closest to the Haiwanshan ambush had been actively attacked by the Eighth Route Army long before the arsenal was attacked.
Okamura Neiji figured out the numbers of these two groups.
A new first regiment and a new second regiment boldly attacked their transit station and stronghold. The two sides are still at war.
These two places are also strategic locations.
Because it is a transit station, it also contains a lot of war resources, so it needs to be well protected.
After looking around, Okamura Neji couldn't find any troops that could support the arsenal.
All troops capable of fighting are either at war or on the way to war.
Even the Imperial Alliance Army, which is unable to hold up the wall, is still fighting together.
Okamura Neji's brows furrowed into a frown.
He suddenly realized the possibility that the attack on the arsenal was not an accident, but a conspiracy.
Beginning of period.
The Eighth Route Army extended its display to Taiyuan, almost touching the face of the First Army headquarters.
Okamura Neji was also a little puzzled. Even if the Eighth Route Army wanted to expand the battlefield, there was no need to suddenly extend the front line so long.
Even though their base areas have been connected together, the results of the battle still need time to be digested, and the base areas need time to develop.
Not only Okamura Neiji understands this truth, he will not take the initiative to provoke a battle of this level even if he randomly pulls out his staff.
Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly ran in quickly: "General, it's bad, the 28th Regiment has disappeared. The Special High School has never found any trace of the 28th Regiment."
Moreover, Yoshio Shinozuka was about to speak but stopped.
"And what?" Okamura Neji looked unhappy.
"According to the news sent back by our intelligence personnel, there are several troops advancing along the base area in the direction of Haiwan Mountain!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Nani, what did you say?" Neji Okamura snapped: "Why are you reporting this matter now?"
"Reporting to your Excellency, General, because the Eighth Route Army's defense line is too tight, they have to prepare for war, and inspections in all aspects are very strict." Yoshio Shinozuka said hurriedly.
"The intelligence personnel risked their lives to deliver this information."
Combining these messages, Okamura Neji finally noticed something was wrong.
The 28th Regiment, from the beginning of the battle to the present, not a single battle report about the 28th Regiment has been sent back.
Not a single letter.
Faced with a battle of this level, how could the 28th Regiment miss it so easily and leave no trace at all?
Coupled with the information just obtained by Shinozuka Yoshio, Okamura Neji finally figured out where the 28th Regiment was.
From the beginning, the 28th Regiment has been advancing along the base area without any pause.
During the war, fighting was happening everywhere and troops were everywhere. Who would pay attention to a marching troop alone?
The most that can be done is to send a message after discovering this unit, asking the strongholds behind to pay attention to the fact that the Eighth Route Army may have troops to support it.
However, most of the routes chosen by the 28th Regiment were our own base areas. After going back and forth, the Japanese had forgotten about the battle. The reinforcements did not actually arrive, so they forgot about it.
Then, Okamura Neji remembered something very important.
He quickly walked to where the New Regiment and the Second Regiment were fighting, and his eyes changed instantly.
When Neji Okamura heard the names of the New First and New Second Divisions, he felt a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it.
There were so many Eighth Route Army troops, how could he clearly remember the specific location of each unit of the Eighth Route Army?
But after seeing the 28th regiment, Okamura Neji finally remembered why the names of these two regiments sounded so familiar.
These two regiments are the two regiments that have a very good relationship with Ding Wei. It is rumored by the outside world that these three regiments are the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle.
And looking at the map.
Two stations plus an arsenal form a solid triangle.
The New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment greatly restricted the support of our own troops and kept them in the circle, while the 28th Regiment was attacking the arsenal.
Okamura Neji finally understood.
Why those two stations were attacked was not because the Eighth Route Army was greedy and wanted to eat a fat man in one bite.
All this is because the two regiments want to assist the 28th regiment in taking over the arsenal, and their purpose is just to contain the reinforcements.
Okamura Neji had a very strange feeling in his heart from the beginning, and now he finally understands it.
The purpose of cooperating with the Eighth Route Army was not only to take advantage of his illness to kill himself.
Reducing their sphere of influence is only their superficial purpose.
The real reason hidden underneath is that the Eighth Route Army wanted to take over the Haiwanshan Arsenal.
"Quick!" Okamura Neji waved his hand: "Send troops to support Haiwanshan immediately, quick!"
Yoshio Shinozuka looked surprised, not understanding Okamura Neji's mood and why he was suddenly excited.
"Your Excellency, General, there are wars going on everywhere now. We have mobilized all the troops we can. Now I'm afraid..." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio said confidently: "Besides, the Haiwanshan Arsenal is very safe. The Eighth Route Army stationed nearby tried to capture the arsenal many times but failed to capture it."
"Baga, I'm asking you to send troops to support now!" Neji Okamura shouted: "The troops attacking the 28th Regiment are most likely the 28th Regiment that has been missing!"
"Nani?" Shinozuka Yi, the man was also dumbfounded.
If the 28th Regiment is really responsible for the main attack, maybe this arsenal can really be captured by the 28th Regiment.
After all, the 28th Regiment has created too many miracles that they think are impossible.
"No matter what method you use, get all the surrounding troops out of the battle as soon as possible and support Haiwan Mountain." Okamura Neiji said solemnly.
"This is completely a conspiracy. Tubal Road wants to take over our arsenal."
Yoshio Shinozuka looked stunned: "How is this possible? Where can the Eighth Route Army still have the strength and spirit?"
"How is it impossible? If it's impossible, what's going on now!" Neji Okamura said sternly.
"The Eighth Route Army's fighting will is beyond our imagination. They are making a dangerous move now!"
Okamura Neji quickly figured everything out.
"General, what do you mean?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked confused.
Okamura Neiji took a deep breath and said: "A large-scale battle just ended not long ago. According to normal circumstances, we should be recuperating."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, that was indeed the case.
"But Tubalu took advantage of our mentality and did the opposite. They took advantage of us losing the battle and our morale was low to launch an attack!" Neji Okamura said slowly.
"These Tubal rebels are so cunning and have such a bad conscience that even if we attack their base, it's still a conspiracy!"
"But what if they lose?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked again: "Aren't they afraid of failure?"
Okamura Neiji said, "The morale of the imperial army is low now, and the equipment of each department has not been fully replenished. Even if it fails, it will not cause much harm to them."
"But..." Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to continue asking.
However, Okamura Neiji was already impatient: "That's enough, Shinozuka-kun, you've had enough questions. Send my order immediately.
The arsenal is very important to the imperial army, and there is no room for any mistakes!"
"Hai!" Shinozuka Yoshio didn't dare to talk nonsense and walked quickly.
Okamura Neji's order quickly spread throughout the ministries.
But it is easy to fight, but it is not that simple to get the little devil to escape.
All the troops at war with the Japanese army discovered that the Japs were trying to escape. Although they didn't know why, the troops all took turns to go up and start a wheel battle with the Japs.
After the battle, many young people became famous and joined the Eighth Route Army.
How could the Eighth Route Army units easily miss such a good opportunity for troop training? The Japanese troops in this battle had become sparring partners.
But the little devil who was in the middle of the war had no idea that he was a sparring partner.
New regiment headquarters.
The war is raging here.
Li Yunlong's troops were unable to enter, and it was difficult for the enemies in the station to launch an effective counterattack.
The Japanese troops supported by peripheral strongholds did not even have a chance to support them.
"Captain, something's wrong with the Japanese over there." Zhang Dabiao walked quickly to Li Yunlong and said."
"What's wrong?" Li Yunlong asked.
Zhang Dabiao thought for a moment and said: "The Japs inside want to come out, and the Japs supporting outside also want to retreat."
"Retreat?" Li Yunlong said.
Zhang Dabiao touched his nose and said: "Yes, but it's easy to come, but not so easy to leave. I don't know what tricks the devils are playing. They sent troops to bite them hard."
"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Okay, Da Biao, you did a great job. These Japs must have felt that the support was useless and wanted to abandon the station and retreat."
After being excited for a while, Li Yunlong said again: "Listen carefully, don't let even a little devil go. If you can't beat him, it won't be that easy if the little devil wants to run away!"
…
New second group.
Kong Jie also noticed something was wrong.
The little devil who was originally on defense suddenly began to try to charge.
They even divided into small groups to break out of the encirclement, trying to break out of their own encirclement. The Japanese soldiers supporting them from outside also showed signs of wanting to retreat.
Taking a look at Li Yunlong, Kong Jie didn't know what trick the Japanese wanted to play, so he sent people to bite them to death.
In short, just one sentence, don’t let anyone slip away!
