Chapter 182
Taiyuan.
Japanese headquarters.
The command room at this time seemed very busy and anxious.
Because they actually lost contact with the 7th Brigade.
Since the Akiyama Airport was bombed by the enemy special forces, the headquarters quickly contacted the front line and kept listening to various reports from the front line.
But it was only more than half an hour later.
The contact was suddenly interrupted. No matter how they sent a message, the other party did not respond at all.
"Haven't you contacted yet?"
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was sitting over there, looked a little ugly.
Hideyoshi Nanshan shook his head and said, "Still no, the Communications Department has been constantly contacting, but until now there is still no response from the 7th Brigade."
"Damn it!"
Yoshio Shinozuka became anxious.
If it were in the past, he would never have such emotions. After all, the troops that went to the battle this time were the powerful field troops of the empire, and it would be easy to deal with the bandits in Qingfeng Village. But the key point was that the airport was destroyed just now. Without the support of air force, the ground troops obviously had to bear greater responsibilities, which naturally cast a shadow on the entire battle.
"General!"
Nanshan Hideyoshi naturally saw the other party's thoughts and advised in a deep voice: "You don't have to be too anxious. Although we can't dispatch aviation troops, the 7th Brigade is a powerful existence equipped with armored troops after all. Its combat capability in the field is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary infantry brigades. No matter how strong Qingfeng Village is, it will never be its opponent!"
"Then why can't we contact them?"
"Or, maybe-"
Nanshan Hideyoshi's face also changed slightly, and he said: "It's just a little accident!"
"No!"
Shinozuka Yoshio only felt his right eye twitching violently. Thinking of the previous successive defeats at the hands of Qingfeng Village, he felt an inexplicable strong uneasiness in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order to send the 29th Brigade's Sendo Regiment to reinforce immediately!"
"Hai!"
The communications officer next to him nodded immediately.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly said, "We just found a large number of Eighth Route Army troops around Laiyang County!"
"Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes, General!"
The soldier immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Nanshan Hideyoshi quickly said, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army is here to assist Qingfeng Village?"
"Humph!"
Shinozuka Yoshio didn't care about this at all, but sneered, "Do the Eighth Route Army want to fight against my infantry brigade? Pass my order, no matter what, we must break through their blockade."
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier shouted quickly.
"Read."
"Just received the news!"
The soldier looked at the telegram, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled as he said: "Not long ago, the 7th Brigade of the Empire was attacked fiercely by the enemy armed forces outside Qingfeng Village. All officers and soldiers from the brigade commander Sato Yuzaburo and below were all, all - shattered!"
Boom!
As soon as these words came out.
The scene was instantly silent.
"What did you say?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was trembling all over.
The soldier couldn't look directly at the commander in front of him, and gritted his teeth and added again: "My 7th Brigade was shattered in this battle!"
"General--"
Nanshan Hideyoshi screamed suddenly, and saw Yoshio Shinozuka fainted directly.
The entire command room was instantly in chaos.
...
At the same time.
A temporary command post of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, many important leaders in the army gathered here, and almost everyone stayed up all night.
Although this battle had nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army, it was a fierce battle in the surrounding area after all. No one wanted to see Qingfeng Village being wiped out by the Japanese, even though they never thought Lu Zhixian could win.
"What's the situation?"
The commander has asked several times in a row.
"It's not clear yet!"
The chief of staff shook his head and said solemnly: "After the Japanese pressed the perimeter of Qingfeng Village, our scouts were also keeping a close eye on the battle situation, but it takes a long time to transmit intelligence. Now we don't know the specific situation. We only know that the two sides started a fierce battle in the middle of Qingfeng Village. The roar of the artillery is really unimaginable. I think both sides must have tried their best!"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
The commander in the middle position heard that his face also sank instantly, saying: "Lu Zhixian usually looks very smart, why did he become stupid at the critical moment? The strongest forces of the Japanese are their armored forces and artillery forces. Why doesn't he make good use of the terrain advantage in the initial stage to actively defend and fight the Japanese in the middle? Isn't this letting the Japanese take advantage!"
"Yes! This kidHow can you be so confused! "
"If the Japanese tank troops charge, it is really not something that ordinary troops can stop!"
"Fortunately, the Japanese have not yet deployed their air force, otherwise this battle would be even more impossible to fight. But even so, how dare Qingfeng Village choose to start the war there?"
"..."
Many leaders present were also stunned.
Nonsense.
It is indeed extremely nonsense.
Any commander with a little experience would not choose the battlefield there.
"Report!"
Just then a soldier came quickly.
Everyone present quickly glanced over, and the chief of staff raised his expression slightly and said, "Is there the latest intelligence?"
"Yes, yes! "
The communication soldier said excitedly: "We just received the latest intelligence from the front line of Qingfeng Village. In this battle, Qingfeng Village fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese in the middle of the mountain. The two sides launched a large-scale artillery battle. In the end, the Anti-Japanese Regiment defeated the Seventh Brigade under the powerful charge of the tank troops. Half an hour ago, the regiment was wiped out at the exit of the mountain. The Japanese were all annihilated from the brigade commander Sato Yuzaburo! The Anti-Japanese Regiment won a great victory!"
Boom!
This statement was also like a thunderclap.
The originally noisy command center was suddenly silent.
"The Anti-Japanese Regiment won?"
The chief of staff was stunned for nearly ten seconds before he reacted.
The soldier said excitedly: "Yes, Chief of Staff! The Anti-Japanese Regiment won a decisive victory, and the Japanese Seventh Brigade was completely annihilated!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! "
However, a leader next to him immediately questioned and said in surprise: "We all know the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 7th Brigade. Where did Lu Zhixian get his tank unit? How could he defeat the armored unit of the 7th Brigade on the front battlefield?"
Yes.
This statement instantly won the approval of almost everyone present.
The soldier shook his head and said: "Report to the leader, the intelligence does show this."
Soon.
The intelligence was passed on.
Just as the soldier said.
The telegram clearly contained such information.
"Tank unit!"
The commander's body trembled slightly, and the whole person was full of disbelief and suddenly became excited and excited: "Although I am not sure whether this information is true or not, I suddenly feel that this may not be impossible, otherwise it is impossible to explain why Lu Zhixian would fight the Japanese in such an open area!"
"That's right!"
The chief of staff also understood it instantly.
"Check! "
The commander said without hesitation: "Send someone to investigate immediately. I want to confirm the accuracy of this information and know the detailed battle situation! If this battle is true, then Lu Zhixian has become a great hero of China's war of resistance, and his anti-Japanese regiment will really stand firm in Shanxi Province!"
