Chapter 590 What to do?
"Tanabe-kun, what should we do now?"

Ishikawa Jiro looked at Moritake Tanabe and asked again.

The current Ishikawa Jiro has no ideas and methods. It is estimated that the regiment headquarters of the 10th Division will be wiped out to have a chance to hold the new regiment for two days.

As for the 10th Division, it doesn't make any sense, because at that time, the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the common people in the jurisdiction can go straight to the Hengshan area.

Even if the other four divisions came, it would be meaningless.

Seeing that Tanabe Moritake was silent, Ishikawa Jiro said in a deep voice: "At this point, there is only one way!"

Moritake Tanabe suddenly raised his head and asked, "What way?"

Ishikawa Erlang said: "Concentrate all the troops of the 10th Division in Heyuan County, and attract Li Yunlong's new regiment to attack. The remaining troops of the 10th Division can stick to Heyuan County for two days. There is no problem."

"The other four divisions encircled from the north and the south, forming an anti-encirclement situation against the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment."

"We gave Li Yunlong a center to bloom."

While speaking, Ishikawa Jiro clenched his fists, palms facing up, and made an open gesture.

But Tanabe Shengwu snorted coldly and poured cold water on him: "A few months ago, Lieutenant General Jing Guanren, commander of the 36th Division of the First Army, also thought so."

"Put the main force of the division in Heyuan County, and want to come to a center to bloom."

"As a result, not only Heyuan County was captured, Lieutenant General Jing Guanren Yu Sui, but even the reinforcements who came were wiped out by the Eight Route Army."

Ishikawa Jiro said unconvinced: "The combat effectiveness of our 10th Division is not comparable to that of the 36th Division."

The 36th Division is just a second-line division. If it is a conventional operation, the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division is about equal to 3 second-line divisions.

Ishikawa Jiro's tone was still arrogant.

Moritake Tanabe asked coldly and unceremoniously: "Ishikawa-kun, is the current combat effectiveness of your 10th Division still three-tenths of the peak period?"

"Even if you use all the remaining main force of the 10th Division to defend Heyuan County?"

"Can the city walls of Heyuan County withstand Li Yunlong's 150mm howitzers and heavy tanks?"

"When the outlying positions were lost and all the soldiers retreated into the county, the shells fired by Li Yunlong's hundreds of cannons could plow the entire county over and over again."

"Don't forget, Li Yunlong still has airdrop supplies."

If there is no lesson learned from the 36th Division, then Moritake Tanabe may consider Ishikawa Jiro's central blooming tactics.

Ishikawa Jiro was speechless by Moritake Tanabe, and the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division is probably not as good as that of the 36th Division.

Most of the infantry casualties, more than half of the cavalry casualties, and a brigade of artillery casualties.

Take the head and fight the new group?
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either." Ishikawa Erlang snorted coldly and said, "You have to find a way, right?"

Tanabe Moritake said: "The only way now is to retreat!"

"retreat?"

Ishikawa Jiro's face was full of unwillingness, and it was a little hard to accept that the 10th Division lost so much, but this sweeping attack fell short. For the 10th Division, it was simply the most humiliating battle.

"Could it be that Ishikawa-kun wants to continue fighting?"

"Until the 10th Division is completely wiped out by the Xinyi Regiment?"

Moritake Tanabe saw the unwillingness on Ishikawa Jiro's face, and said coldly:

"Commander Okamura's iron-rolling mopping tactics need to encircle all eight routes, but now that the encirclement is missing a corner, how can you fight this battle?"

"OK then!"

Ishikawa Jiro nodded helplessly. He couldn't refute this, and the main reason was that the 10th Division pulled his hips.

Although the other four divisions did not play well, they managed to achieve their strategic goals, defeated the independent regiment and the new second regiment, and then rushed to the jurisdiction of the new first regiment.

The 10th Division was directly defeated by the Xinyi Regiment, and it was a crushing defeat.

Moritake Tanabe said: "Without further delay, I will immediately draft a telegram, and you and I will jointly request Commander Okamura to end this mopping operation. You and I will bear any responsibility afterwards!"

Ishikawa Jiro: "Good!"

……

Peiping.

No. 3 Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

After listening to the communications staff read out the telegrams sent by Moritake Tanabe and Jiro Ishikawa, Neiji Okamura, commander of the North China Front, froze immediately.

The 10th Division, after all, still failed to block the attack of the new regiment.

After all, Okamura Ningji still underestimated Li Yunlong and the combat effectiveness of the new regiment.

And also fell into Li Yunlong's trick.

If the 10th Division did not attack the Xinyi Regiment's defense area at the beginning, but formed a confrontation with the Xinyi Regiment, and built tunnels and reverse slopes on the position, then the 10th Division would definitely be able to block the attack of the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment.

But it's too late to say anything now, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Okamura Ningji felt a deep sense of unwillingness in his heart, his whole body froze like a sculpture, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

Suddenly, Neiji Okamura exploded, threw all the documents, telephones and other items on the table to the ground, drew out the general's sword with a swipe, and angrily chopped the table in half from the middle.

On the side, Yusue Seizo and the communications staff officer were too frightened to speak out.

I'm afraid that the general will cut them in half with a knife.

Taking a deep breath, Neiji Okamura waved his hand at the communications staff officer, signaling him to back down.

The communications staff officer let out a deep breath, suddenly nodded, and walked out quickly.

After the communications staff left, Neiji Okamura looked at Seizo Yusue, and asked, "Yusue-kun, what do you think of this joint telegram between Tanabe-kun and Ishikawa-kun?"

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Arisue Seizan had a solemn expression: "I suggest that Your Excellency the Commander agree to the request of Ishikawa-kun and Tanabe-kun."

"why?"

You Mo replied energetically: "Because if the fight continues, the 10th Division will probably be wiped out by the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment, and the entire division will be wiped out."

After a pause, Arisue Seizo pointed to the map and said, "Commander, please see that there are now two Eighth Routes on Tongpu Road, cutting off the 10th Division's logistics supply line and retreat route."

"If the fight continues, the 10th Division will be left alone, with no ammunition and food, until finally it will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment."

Okamura Ningji nodded expressionlessly, he actually thought so too.

In the Chinese battlefield, there has never been a precedent for a full-scale division to be wiped out. Even the 36th Division, which was defeated in a disastrous defeat, was not wiped out.

If the 10th Division was really wiped out by the Xinyi Regiment in Northwest Shanxi.

Although he is covered by Tojo Yingji, Neiji Okamura will not be ordered to plead guilty, but his title as the commander of the North China Front Army cannot be kept.

Okamura Neiji said in a concentrated voice with unwillingness on his face: "Order!"

Yumo Jingsan straightened her body, lowered her head slightly, and pretended to be listening.

Neiji Okamura continued.

"The 10th Division transferred to Taiyuan, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade went to meet it!"

"The 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 35th divisions have completely destroyed the bandit areas in Northwest Shanxi on the Eighth Route. They must not leave a house or a grain of food to the people on the Eighth Route and China."

Yusue Seizo suddenly lowered his head: "Hi!"
