Chapter 260 A good show
Hiro Hamada looked at Yuichiro No, and asked, "Second Commander?"
Yuichiro Nori had a dark face and said nothing, and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Yuichiro Nori was of course annoyed. He saw that the 37th Division was about to arrive in Tunliu County. After passing Tunliu County, he was not far south, and then he arrived in Changzhi. At this time, he asked them to turn back?
The key reason was not explained, and only the quick assistance to Taiyuan was allowed.
Has Taiyuan been attacked?
Who did it?
The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army at the junction of Shanxi and Suizhou?
Or is it the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army at the junction of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei?
The Eighth Route Army had the courage to go deep into the Fenhe Plain to fight Taiyuan?
Yuichiro Nori doesn't believe it, how could it be?
Yuichiro Nori was more willing to believe that it was probably because Commander Yoshio Shinozuka who misjudged the Northbound Detachment of the 386th Brigade was mistakenly regarded as the main force.
But the main force is clearly in Changzhi!
Changzhi is about to lose!
Could it be that the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was allowed to conquer Changzhi and ignore him?
Seeing that Yuichiro Nono had no response for a long time, Hiro Hamada emphasized and said, "Second Commander?"
"Okay." Yuichiro Nori finally sighed and said, "Order the troops to turn around and go north to Taiyuan!"
Although he was reluctant and firmly believed that this must have been a misjudgment by Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, no matter what, it was an order from the First Army Command.
Commands must be obeyed.
"Hayi!" Hamada Hiroshi said first.
Yuichiro Nori's orders were conveyed soon.
The Japanese army team, who were originally heading south along the highway, immediately turned around and headed north along the highway when they came.
...
In Changzhi, Beichengguan.
Commander Cheng put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth in the command center.
Deputy Brigade Commander Han, who was standing in front of the observation hole to observe the battle situation, put down his telescope and said angrily: "Don't keep waving in front of me, you have to turn around and go outside."
Commander Cheng stopped and said with a bitter face: "Deputy Brigade Commander, the Japanese are almost here to Tunliu County!"
"If the Japanese really wait until they pass Tunliu County, it will be difficult to get rid of it. The distance is too close!"
"I said that when the Japanese pass the Tunliu and then retreat, you must pass the Tunliu and then retreat! What are you talking about?" After saying that, Deputy Brigade Commander Han raised his telescope again and pointed it at Beicheng Pass.
Unfortunately, the 772nd Regiment's attack was repelled again.
The Japanese army stationed in Changzhi fought very hard.
However, Deputy Brigade Commander Han was not in a hurry at all, because their mission to go south was originally a feint, and it would be good to be able to defeat Changzhi, and it would be okay if they could not defeat it.
Just complete the task of seducing the enemy!
So last night and one night and one morning, the South Detachment did not actually attack much, but was just a round battle of one company after another.
The only thing is that there were thousands of shells.
And this is also what makes Captain Cheng the most painful.
Commander Cheng was used to being frugal. In the past, he had to make careful calculations for even a few 82 mortar shells, so now Deputy Brigade Commander Han has hundreds of 75 shells at one shot, which is really a stab in his heart.
In fact, Deputy Brigade Commander Han felt very distressed, and he was hitting all the golden lumps.
But Deputy Brigade Commander Han knew that he would never save shells at this time.
At that moment, Deputy Brigade Commander Han turned around and shouted: "Communication officer, order the gun company to hit another half of the base!"
"Ah? You still have to fight? Deputy Brigade Commander!" Commander Cheng was so anxious that he was about to kneel down. "I will bring the 772nd Regiment Guard Company. I promise to take down Beicheng Pass this time, so I won't be able to shoot the artillery company."
"What do you know? You just want to shoot a cannon! Kill it to death!"
"It caused the illusion that the main force of our 386th Brigade was fighting Changzhi!"
Deputy Brigade Commander Han refused without hesitation.
At this moment, the communication captain hurriedly ran in.
"Report to the Deputy Brigade Commander, the 2nd Communications Team is urgently sent!"
Commander Cheng's face suddenly changed: "Did the Japanese stay in the gate?"
"So fast?" Deputy Brigade Commander Han's face changed slightly, and he reached out to take the telegram.
After glanced at it, the expression on Deputy Brigade Commander Han's face changed again, becoming a little strange.
"Deputy Brigade Commander, what's wrong with you?" Commander Cheng said in surprise, "Why are you wearing this expression?"
Deputy Brigade Commander Han didn't say much, but handed over the telegram in his hand and said, "You can read it yourself."
Commander Cheng only glanced at it and shouted in surprise: "What, the 37th Division suddenly turned around and headed north? What's the situation? Why did he suddenly turn around?"
Deputy Brigade Commander Han said in a deep voice: "Yoto Shinozuka must have smelled something."
"This old devil is indeed very cunning, but fortunately, we were prepared for it."
"Otherwise, the good show of "Singing South to North" will be ruined, and our 386th Brigade will suffer a big loss!"
"Impossible." Captain Cheng frowned and said, "Our regiment's artillery company has never stopped. It has fired almost 2,000 shells in less than a day! If you do this, you can't deceive this old Japanese man?"
It’s enough to pretend to be the main force of the 129th Division, which is enough.
Deputy Brigade Commander Han said again: "Report this latest situation to the brigade department immediately!"
"Yes." The communication captain agreed and turned around to send a telegram to the brigade department.
Commander Cheng asked again: "Deputy Brigade Commander, what should I do now? Will I still fight Changzhi?"
"No, of course I have to fight," said Deputy Brigade Commander Han, "and I don't have to hide it anymore this time."
"Didn't the artillery company commander invent a new type of tactic? Let him use this tactic and destroy the firepower point of the Beimen City Pass as soon as possible."
"No, don't worry."
"It's not too late to let the Japanese run more detours first before fighting."
"Tell me the order, and all the front-line troops will be withdrawn."
"The cooking team quickly sets up a fire and prepares for dinner."
"Let the brothers have a good sleep after breakfast."
"There have been long-distance marches and continuous combat these days, so the brothers should be tired."
"When you have enough sleep, and when the brothers accumulate enough energy, you can take Changzhi with one go!"
...
The telegram from the southward detachment soon arrived at the brigade commander.
After reading it, the brigade commander handed the telegram to Ding Wei who was following him.
"Yoshino Shinozuka is really difficult to deal with." The brigade commander said in a deep voice. "The Southbound Detachment performed so hard that he fired nearly two thousand shells in less than a day, but he still couldn't deceive him."
"This was originally the result we expected." Ding Wei smiled and said, "But I believe that Yoshio Shinozuka must be very guilty at this moment, afraid that he would make a mistake in his judgment."
"Of course." said the brigade commander, "It would be strange if it is not worth it."
Ding Wei nodded and said, "Yes, if the old Japanese are not false and if they firmly believe that their judgment is correct, then our 386th Brigade will not be able to sing the next drama again."
The brigade commander groaned and said, "Order the troops to continue to speed up the marching!"
After saying that, the brigade commander said to Ding Wei again: "Ding Wei, stay here for your new regiment. The terrain here is good and suitable for you to fight and block."
"yes!"
