Chapter 124: Four parties responded, the ghost fascinated the Japanese
Huting stronghold.
The temporary headquarters of the Japanese 4th Brigade.
Terauchi Kunie poured himself a glass of sake and sipped it slowly.
"吆西."
"Imperial sake is still better. It's sweeter."
"This guy Hattori Naoomi really doesn't know how to enjoy himself!"
"If he wants to suffer, there will be plenty of suffering for him."
"Hey……"
"What a pity... military life, without a beautiful woman to accompany me..."
"I don't know when Nojiri Masao's wife will return from Chief of Staff Kawahara..."
The commander of the Japanese 4th Brigade, Terauchi Kunie, raised his lips slightly. When he thought of Nojiri's wife, his whole body became clear.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
"Something happened!"
"General Hattori and the battlefield observation group were ambushed at Xifengkou!"
"This is an order from General Hattori! He wants us to come to your aid! Immediately!"
"The battlefield observation group suffered heavy losses!"
"Major Kuroguchi's 3rd Infantry Battalion has also joined the battle..."
"The battle situation is not optimistic!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
"Xifengkou is only seven or eight kilometers away from our Huting stronghold. If the observation group were to be completely wiped out on our 4th Brigade's territory... then..."
goodong...
The Japanese lieutenant couldn't help but anticipate...
This is unexpected, which is fine.
The terror that was expected was immediately upon me.
It looked like madness... insanity... even hysterical despair.
"Bagya Road!"
"Where did the enemy come from?"
"Didn't Nojiri Masao also pass through this road before? Didn't he investigate it clearly?"
"Or did that bastard Nojiri Masao discover the enemy and deliberately not report it?"
"Nojiri Masao wants to harm me?"
"He wants to usurp the throne?"
"idiot!"
In a rage, the commander of the Japanese 4th Brigade, Terauchi Kunie, overturned the table and smashed the wine bottles.
The wine was flying.
The smell of industrial alcohol permeated the air.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, now is not the time to be angry. The most important thing is... to rescue... to rescue the battlefield observation group."
"If it's any later... we can only save their bodies."
The Japanese major said anxiously.
"Send troops!"
"Send troops!"
"Take all the troops in the Huting stronghold! Go to Xifengkou!"
"All of them!"
"Go quickly!"
“Travel light!”
"The baggage train will follow the rear!"
"We must rescue the battlefield observation group!"
"Especially Hattori Naoomi..."
"He is Lord Okamura's favorite general. Nothing can happen to him..."
"The commander of this brigade has just been promoted..."
"Damn it!"
Veins bulged on Terauchi Bangwei's forehead and his face looked sinister.
If something unexpected happens to the battlefield observation group...
Even if he can't die.
But he certainly couldn't keep the general position he had just been promoted to.
Besides...
According to military practice, in such situations one would usually commit suicide by seppuku.
Someone always has to take responsibility.
We can't let Commander Shinozuka commit seppuku, can we?
Even if you just ask any officer to commit seppuku, it won't be enough.
And he, a major general...
Although he was promoted not long ago, he was an imperial general after all, so it would be the best choice for him to commit seppuku to take the blame.
When he thought of this, Terauchi Bangwei suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"Battlefield Observation Group!"
"We must save him! We must!"
"At the very least... we must protect Hattori Naoomi..."
"This way everything can still be saved!"
"Hattori Naoomi! You stupid pig! You stupid ass!"
"If you, a fool, had listened to the advice of our brigade commander and stayed in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold to taste wine, there wouldn't be any life-and-death crises!"
"Hattori Naoomi!"
Terauchi Kunie's eyes were bloodshot and filled with resentment.
The Japanese 4th Brigade was a mixed brigade with a full strength of nearly Japanese soldiers.
However, in the previous battle in Pingnan Town, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.
In the Battle of Ping'an County, Lin Xu led his troops to kill thousands of Japanese devils.
So at this moment, there are only more than 4 devils left in the th Brigade of the devils.
In addition, a large group of about 1100 Japanese soldiers were left behind in Ping'an County.
Therefore, there were only about 4,000 Japanese devils transferred to the Huting stronghold, which was almost the size of a regiment.
Previously, Terauchi Kunie dispatched Nojiri Masao to lead a large force to Shirakage Village...
At this point, the number of soldiers and horses that Terauchi Kunie could directly mobilize was only about 3,000...
When the Japanese battlefield observation group left the Huting stronghold, the Japanese brigade commander Terauchi Kunie dispatched the 3rd Infantry Battalion to follow...
At this moment, there were only two infantry battalions of Japanese troops in the Huting stronghold, plus the more than 300 Japanese troops originally stationed in the Huting stronghold, a total of about 2,500 Japanese troops.
This is all the troops that Terauchi Kunie can mobilize at the moment.
"Send a telegram to Nojiri Masao immediately!"
"Tell him to take the 4th Infantry Battalion back to Xifengkou to provide assistance, and not to go to Baijia Village."
"Preserving the battlefield observation group is the top priority!"
"in addition……"
"Send a message to headquarters..."
"Have the headquarters dispatch heavy troops to support... Xifengkou..."
Terauchi Kunie, commander of the Japanese 4th Brigade, took a deep breath. He felt very nervous at the moment...
……
……
Taiyuan.
Devil headquarters.
"Gentlemen."
"Let's drink together."
"Let us all wish Yamamoto-kun every success!"
"Under the leadership of His Excellency the Commander, our 1st Army is thriving!"
"Congratulations, Commander!"
The Japanese 1st Army Chief of Staff Kawahara Yuki raised his glass and began to flatter.
Within the headquarters.
Drinking and drinking each other.
The Japs were drinking with great joy.
Although the Japanese intelligence chief Suzuki Jiro was bandaged, he was still drinking.
At this time.
A Japanese signalman rushed in hurriedly, then ran directly to the Japanese intelligence staff Suzuki Jiro, and whispered a few words.
Suzuki Jiro's hand shook, and the wine glass in his hand fell directly onto the table, making a noise.
"idiot!"
"Suzuki-kun!"
"What's wrong with you!"
"Such good sake is wasted by you!"
The commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, frowned, looking quite unhappy, and then drank another glass by himself.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"Front line... Something happened on the front line..."
"The battlefield observation group... the battlefield observation group was ambushed by an unknown force at Xifengkou, approximately seven or eight kilometers from the Huting stronghold, suffering heavy casualties..."
"The battlefield observation group is in danger!"
"This is a telegram from General Hattori Naoomi, the leader of the battlefield observation group."
"General Hattori said that the enemy's offensive was extremely fierce and their firepower was extremely strong. Preliminary estimates suggest that the enemy has mobilized at least one... an army to set up an ambush..."
The Japanese intelligence chief Suzuki Jiro said with gritted teeth.
"Nani?"
"You mean... an entire army of enemy troops is ambushed around Huting... right under the nose of the 4th Brigade?"
"The 4th Brigade...are they all a bunch of pigs?"
"Suzuki-kun!"
"Is this how your Special High Technology Department gathers intelligence for this commander?"
"Suzuki-kun!"
"your!"
"Get over here!"
