Chapter 486: Shinozuka Yoshio's Rage
"What the hell is called a self-breakout?"
When the Japanese regiment commander saw these words on the telegram, he was stunned on the spot. He had no idea what to do.
It thought it had seen it wrong. Why was it asked to break out on its own at this moment? What was the difference between this and asking it to die?
The Japanese regiment commander pulled his lieutenant over and handed him the telegram, asking, "Can you translate for me what the hell is meant by breaking out on your own?"
The Japanese lieutenant was also stunned by the question.
"Breaking out on your own means..."
"Can you translate for me what the hell is meant by breaking out on your own?"
Japanese officer: "......"
The Japanese lieutenant officer finally understood that the regiment commander didn't want an answer at all, he just wanted to vent his emotions and didn't expect to get an answer from him.
The Japanese regiment commander snatched the telegram back from the officer's hand. He knew every word of the Japanese on it, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand it.
The captain of the regiment has already understood that the people in Datong City have given up on him. Although he is now ready to kill Yoshizawa Tadao with a gun, the captain of the Japanese regiment also understands that it is more important to save his own life at this moment.
And from another perspective, his conclusion that it was the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment that surrounded him and others might be correct, otherwise the Third Independent Mixed Brigade in Datong City would not have been so scared.
My goodness, the story fabricated by the Japanese was strengthened after it went around outside, and it turned out to be a case of the Japanese stepping on their left foot and spiraling into the sky.
If it was Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment instead of the Independent Regiment that surrounded them today, it would be a lot of fun after the battle.
However, for the Japanese captain, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. He glanced at the telegram in his hand and crumpled it into a ball of waste paper, his eyes becoming firm.
"Send a telegram to Taiyuan and report to General Shinozuka, hoping that they can bring troops to support us as soon as possible. At the same time, tell our locust soldiers that as long as we can hold out for eight hours, our reinforcements will definitely arrive!
As for Yoshizawa Tadao, I will settle accounts with them after this battle is over!"
The Japanese captain's eyes were filled with resentment.
Since you, Yoshizawa Tadao, are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Haven't my Locust Army seen enough classic cases of the lower class rebellion in recent years?
Taiyuan, the Japanese headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram asking for help from the garrison team at Yukou Coal Mine. He was a little stunned at first. Why did they send a message to him first?
Could it be that Datong City has been captured by the Chinese army?
How come I don’t have any news at all?
When Yoshio Shinozuka unfolded the telegram and took a closer look, he understood the whole story. It turned out that the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade guarding Datong City did not dare to send troops and actually ignored its subordinates.
This has rarely happened in all the battles since the Locust Army entered China. Could it be that an independent regiment scared them like this?
Shinozuka Yoshio was immediately furious: "Go, give Yoshizawa Tadao an order to quickly reinforce the Yukou Coal Mine. If the Yukou Coal Mine is lost, let him commit seppuku to thank the heavens!"
Ningji Okamura was also in the command room. After learning what happened, he just shook his head and said nothing.
With the Locust Army's current limited military strength in Jin, even if Taiyuan City wanted to send reinforcements to rescue them, it would not be able to send suitable forces.
If the troops sent are too few or their combat effectiveness is not good enough, they will only become a side dish for the independent regiment. If a large-scale locust army is sent to rescue, it is very likely that other important military towns will be implicated, and other surrounding Chinese troops may take advantage of the situation and invade.
We have already lost Jincheng before, and now we can’t lose more cities.
For now, the best solution is to let the commander of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, Tadao Yoshizawa, lead a regiment to the rescue. With the cooperation of both inside and outside, there may be a chance to break the deadlock.
After all, the independent regiment only had five or six thousand people.
Not long after, Shinozuka Yoshio's lieutenant returned with a reply from Datong: "General, this is a reply from Datong."
"Have they set out yet?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was looking at the battle map seriously and didn't have time to read the reply.
"this......"
The officer was a little hesitant, not knowing how to answer Yoshio Shinozuka.
"What? If you set out, you set out. If you didn't set out, you didn't set out. Why are you hesitating? Is it so difficult to answer?" Yoshio Shinozuka was a little displeased.
When he took the call back from the lieutenant and read it, he almost vomited blood.
After reading the entire telegram, the meaning of the Japanese can be summed up in four words: If you want to go, go!
Yoshio Shinozuka felt his blood rushing to his head in an instant. He never expected that Tadao Yoshizawa would dare to disobey military orders and retreat. Wasn't he afraid that he would be shot to death afterwards?
In this telegram, Yoshizawa Tadao mentioned that Datong City was unguarded, and if he went to rescue Yukou Coal Mine, it would be very likely that the Chinese army would take advantage of the situation and invade. At that time, Yoshizawa Tadao could not bear the responsibility for the fall of Datong. To be on the safe side, he could only defend Datong City and hope that Taiyuan could send troops to rescue Yukou Coal Mine.
Shinozuka Yoshio was immediately furious, and he swept everything off the table, and roared angrily: "Idiot, coward, baka!
Doesn’t Yoshizawa Tadao know that the importance of Yukou Coal Mine to the Locust Army is even greater than that of Datong City?
Doesn’t Yoshizawa Tadao know that if the locust army stationed in Yukou Coal Mine does not send troops, they can only wait for death?
Is Yoshizawa Tadao looking for death?"
If the table was not made of solid wood, Yoshio Shinozuka would not be able to lift it up. So in his rage today, Yoshio Shinozuka would most likely have lifted the table up directly.
Today's scene can really be called a strange phenomenon of the locust army entering China. It is crazy that a brigade commander dared to disobey the military order of the commander of the area.
Just as Shinozuka Yoshio was furious, a short figure walked into the North China Expeditionary Army's headquarters in Taiyuan. The man walked straight to Okamura Neiji and whispered, "Okamura-kun, long time no see."
