Chapter 1158 Giving You a Brick
The temporary command post of the 26th Division.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
The temporary phone line rang urgently, and Mizukawa Yosuke's eyebrows twitched as he answered the call.
"26th Division Headquarters!"
"Major General! Major General! This is the Tanghe garrison. The enemy's main force suddenly appeared around 7 PM. They have already occupied the garrison and are likely to continue westward. They are planning to break out from the north of Dingxian!"
Mizukawa Yofutaka stood up abruptly!
How is this going!
Why didn't the troops sweeping the eastern side find any trace of the Eighth Route Army?
These days he has been studying the defense arrangements. The surrounding map is already imprinted in his mind. Tanghe passes through the railway, and to the west is Quyang. And from Quyang, going west is Fuping!
Now that the Eighth Route Army has launched an offensive, it is indeed possible that they will break through here!
"Reinforcements are on their way. You must use the railway line to rebuild your positions as quickly as possible. Under no circumstances should the Eighth Route Army be allowed to get through!"
"Hayi!"
Mizukawa Yoshio's mind raced. If the main force of the Eighth Route Army wanted to pass through here, there must be a lot of them. Could the garrison around Ding County stop them?
He quickly calculated that, given the current firepower deployment, even if the Eighth Route Army managed to break through, they would suffer heavy losses.
But what he wanted was not to lose most of his men, but to ensure that not a single one of them escaped!
He also wants to use this battle to shine and be promoted to division commander!
After calming himself down, he immediately picked up the phone and called the two detachments stationed south of Ding County.
"Immediately assemble the troops and advance to the Tanghe line; the enemy is attempting a breakout here!"
Still not reassured, he continued to call Okamura Tsuji.
At this time, Okamura Ninji was still awake. He had taken another stimulant pill, and he was extremely excited, with his eyes bulging.
When the phone rang, he became unusually excited and answered it immediately.
"Your Excellency General! This is the headquarters of the 26th Division in Dingxian! We have discovered signs that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attempting to break through to the west, right at Tanghe. The garrison along the route has already moved swiftly to try to stop them east of Dingxian, in order to encircle and annihilate them! I would like to request that you mobilize the 110th Division troops from the Xinle area to support us!"
Okamura was also very surprised!
The main force of the Eighth Route Army has actually moved! Why didn't the troops in the north and northeast notice?
Yes, the Eighth Route Army has always been adept at covert raids. They must have created a false impression and used the cover of night to retreat westward on a large scale!
By this time, no one had noticed the problem; they had all been led astray by the Japanese lieutenant at the garrison.
Okamura immediately made a decision: "Mizukawa-kun, you must personally oversee this. We absolutely cannot let a single Eighth Route Army soldier escape! I will immediately issue orders to the 110th Division; they will be there to provide support soon!"
Just as the Japanese were urgently making mobilizations, a sizable force quietly advanced westward from Shenxian County, taking only small paths.
By evening, they had reached the vicinity of Mudaogou.
Further west from here, there is a Japanese garrison post. Behind the garrison post is the 110th Division's deployment command post along the line. If we can break through here, we can go through Xinle along the Cihe River and then into Tenglong Mountain!
In the darkness, people carried grass in their mouths and horses gagged in their mouths, without making a sound.
Several commanders gathered together and climbed a slope on the north side of Mudaogou to observe carefully with binoculars.
"The enemy hasn't made a move yet. Could it be that the fighting hasn't started in the north?"
"We need to prepare for the worst. The Japanese have a considerable number of troops, and even if fighting breaks out in the north, they may not need reinforcements from here..."
"Yes, there are at least two battalions of Japanese soldiers here. If we fight them head-on..."
"If we have to fight head-on, I'll lead the team myself. Once we create an opening, you all need to seize the time to slip through!"
................
After receiving the call, Okamura quickly issued several orders and summoned Hayashi Ze.
"Lin Jun, the Eighth Route Army is about to retreat westward from the Tanghe area. I have already dispatched troops to provide support. We must be vigilant and prevent any problems from arising in the Shimen area. You must lead your men to patrol more closely and be on high alert!"
"Yes! Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will work tirelessly day and night to safeguard the safety of Shimen and Your Excellency's safety!"
Once outside, Lin Ze ostentatiously summoned the military police and assistant officers to patrol inside and around Shimen City.
Riding a tall, powerful horse, Lin Ze silently summoned the system.
[I'll give you a brick for using this! Target: Mizukawa Yosuke!]
[Ding! A brick has been successfully used on you. Target: Mizukawa Yosuo!]
Lin Ze looked at Niu San'er and nodded.
Niu San'er then returned to the military police headquarters under the cover of night.
In Ding County, Shuichuan Yinfu walked out of the temporary command post, accompanied by a group of staff officers, preparing to personally go to the Tanghe River area to inspect the combat situation.
Before setting off, he was full of confidence and self-satisfaction.
“These past few days, we have been painstakingly managing the railway line. The Eighth Route Army’s decision to break out from here is truly alarming; they’ve chosen the wrong place!”
The Japanese soldiers were also good at flattery. The staff officers praised, "With Lord Mizukawa in charge, let alone a local Eighth Route Army from the Jizhong base area, even the main force of the Jin-Cha-Ji Army would have to perish here!"
"General Okamura's several sweeps of central Hebei have all ended in failure. Now, with Lord Mizukawa taking charge and calmly making arrangements, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been firmly blocked. When the time comes, when the General rewards those who have made contributions, Lord Mizukawa will surely be appointed as a division commander!"
"How fortunate we are to be able to learn from Commander Shuichuan! The knowledge taught by Lu Da is nothing compared to the teachings of Commander Shuichuan!"
Mizukawa Yoshio's mouth stretched into a grin like a hippopotamus. "Hey, be careful what you say. I'm not a division commander yet!"
"We were merely offering our early congratulations to His Excellency the Division Commander!"
"Alright, alright, get in the car and let's go. I want to see how those Eighth Route Army soldiers can break through the defenses I personally set up!"
They didn't use a car because it was dark, the roads were bad, and a sidecar was more convenient than a car.
Just as Mizukawa Yoshio was about to sit in the sidecar, something dark suddenly fell from the sky!
The object struck Mizukawa Yoshio squarely on the forehead.
With a muffled groan, Mizukawa Yoshio fell forward, crashing heavily onto the sidecar motorcycle before slowly collapsing to the ground.
The staff officers rushed to help him up, only to find blood gushing from Mizukawa Yoshio's head, which horrified them!
What's happening here!
Has the Eighth Route Army already reached this place?
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"Go back, go back quickly! Report to Shimen! Mizukawa-kun has been attacked by the enemy!"
"Quickly, stop the bleeding! Doctor! Doctor!"
At the same time, several earth-shattering explosions suddenly rang out along the railway line!
boom! boom! boom!
The flames from the explosion almost turned the sky red, and also illuminated the horrified expressions on the faces of the Japanese soldiers!
