Chapter 565 Return
Chapter 565 Return
There was a glimmer of horror in Yoshio Shinozuka's pupils.
"go with!"
"Send the order!"
"Send the order!"
"Recall the 16th Mixed Brigade and all the Locust Army units sent to attack Longyuan Mountain!"
"Send another telegram to Commander Chiga Matsui of the 9th Imperial Army."
"Have him return with the remnants of the 9th Imperial Army and not rush to support Fencheng."
"The most important thing is to protect Taiyuan first!"
"If we lose Taiyuan, it will be meaningless even if we capture Fencheng!"
"I feel...I feel a huge hand secretly controlling all this!"
"coming soon!"
“It’s almost here!”
There was a roar.
The upper and lower rows of teeth of the Japanese 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka could not help but collide violently.
His face flushed, he held his head high, and looked stubborn.
Many things above emotions are overflowing at this moment.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"Is that so?"
"That's not all..."
"You're so frightened..."
"How can you give your troops the courage to fight for this?"
Anton Shoujiang, commander of the Japanese 8th Division, was a little fed up with what he saw.
At this moment, I couldn't help but sneer.
"idiot!"
"Anton Shoujiang!"
"You are presumptuous!"
"It's because I, the commander, have been too indulgent with you!"
"So, we've never allowed your 8th Division to fight against the New st Division, thus encouraging your arrogance!"
"As a soldier!"
"Your job now isn't to stand there and act sarcastic!"
"Your duty is to obey orders! Obey orders!"
"Obey the order immediately!"
The roars continued.
There seemed to be a fire burning in the pupils.
Yoshio Shinozuka was obviously really angry at this moment.
As he roared, his face distorted instantly.
"Yes! Commander!"
The commander of the Japanese 8th Division, Anton Shoujiang, frowned slightly.
Although I'm still a little... unwilling in my heart.
But at this time, you can only choose to bow your head.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
In the Japanese army, this concept of hierarchy is still very prominent.
"I hope everything is still in time..."
"By the way, Anton-kun!"
"The only locust army in the city right now is your 8th Division."
"Therefore, you must immediately enter a state of full combat readiness."
"in addition."
"There is also the 47th Army of the Locust Alliance in the city..."
"The remaining Locust Army and Locust Alliance troops were all withdrawn to reinforce Fencheng and attack Longyuan Mountain."
"so……"
"The city's military strength is stretched thin."
"There are over 8 Locust Alliance troops in one army, and over Locust Army troops in the th Division."
"Total strength, about 50,000."
"Adding the city's guard forces, civilian personnel, military police, and so on, we can only mobilize a few thousand more troops at most."
"And that's all."
"Taiyuan."
"It's actually a matter of life and death."
"Once... once the main force of the New 1st Division really attacks Taiyuan, Taiyuan... will be completely in crisis..."
"Back then...when the New First Division's troops marched out of Longyuan Mountain, I felt something was wrong."
"The battle of Fencheng should have ended immediately!"
"Why greed..."
"It caused... Taiyuan to be in such a dangerous situation."
"At that time, the commander really wanted to stop the attack on Fencheng."
"Or, if we only let the 37th Division and the 17th Tank Regiment continue to attack Fencheng and don't send more troops to reinforce, it won't affect the overall situation."
"Now, the troops are divided into two groups and dispersed."
"Leaving Taiyuan empty."
Yoshio Shinozuka walked back and forth while talking.
Occasionally.
He will frown.
He seemed particularly anxious at the moment.
My mood...is extremely bad.
The scene before my eyes... gradually fell apart.
This taste.
feeling bad……
"Should we confess everything directly to Lord Okamura?"
"Ask Lord Okamura to urgently dispatch troops to Jin Province to quell the rebellion?"
"If Lord Okamura is willing to send reinforcements, the situation will be settled."
Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head, with a glimmer of fantasy in his eyes.
"Commander, let's not talk about whether Lord Okamura is willing to send troops to assist."
"Even if Lord Okamura is willing to mobilize troops, he must send troops from outside Jin Province to support Taiyuan."
"At least...it'll take another week."
"Everything will be settled by then."
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"If you want to stabilize."
"It would be better to abandon the attack on Fencheng right now and have the 37th Division and the 17th Tank Regiment return from the Fencheng battlefield immediately."
"This way we can get more fresh troops."
"Overall, this may not be a bad thing."
Japanese Major General Councillor Iwasa Azumi stepped forward to explain.
"Abandon the Fencheng battlefield."
"But... I've already invested so much."
"According to the information sent by Suzuki-kun."
"Over in Fencheng... the situation is very good."
"Although some reinforcements from Fencheng have arrived, they dare not initiate an attack on our empire's locust army."
"In a few hours, we can capture Fencheng and capture the commander alive..."
"Then... we can follow the trend and bring the 200,000 troops in Fencheng into the service of the Empire."
"Then Fencheng's power, which is restraining the Empire's locust army, will be able to help us..."
"This is... quite a surprise."
"Among countless defeats..."
"It's so hard to have such a victory."
"Just throw it away...abandon it..."
"no no……"
Shake his head.
Speed up the shaking of the head.
His brows were furrowed.
Long sighs.
Shinozuka Yoshio clenched his fists, then unclenched them, then clenched them again...
"Commander, do you think the New 1st Division's main force will soon arrive in Taiyuan? Do you think Taiyuan is about to fall into an unprecedented crisis?"
"If that's what you think, then...sooner or later you'll have to transfer the 37th Division and the 17th Tank Regiment back from the Fencheng battlefield."
"It's just a matter of time."
"Turn back now."
"I can return soon and help defend Taiyuan."
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"Or... you will definitely not bring back the 37th Division and the 17th Tank Regiment, no matter what happens."
"So, you can now stand still."
"Or, if you think you'll transfer the 37th Division and the 17th Tank Regiment back later, then you might as well transfer them now."
The Japanese Major General Councillor Iwasa Anzumi spoke each word with earnestness.
Even if it comes to this.
It was still difficult for Yoshio Shinozuka to make up his mind.
"hold on……"
"hold on."
"Send electricity to Suzuki Jiro."
"Let him...speed up his attack."
"Just say that things have changed so much that there's not much time left for him."
"Even if Suzuki Jiro were to lead his troops back now, it would take at least three days."
"Rather than relying on Suzuki Jiro and his men, it would be better to rely on Matsui Chiga to return with the remnants of the 9th Imperial Army and a group of locust soldiers."
"At least... they left Taiyuan less than a day ago."
"Come back now, everything...is still in time."
