Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

However, what Luo Youdu said was correct, Yoshinan Shinozuka would definitely mobilize heavy troops from at least two divisions to fight back against his side.

As for the 303 regiment, during the period when the devils were dispatching troops, it was time to recruit and expand.

It is also possible to expand a few more infantry battalions.

In addition, after the annihilation of the 41st Division and other departments, the weapons, equipment and ammunition seized were used to equip several infantry battalions, and there was no problem at all.

"Then recruit and expand."

Xu Rui smiled at Luo Youdu: "I don't know how many infantry battalions you think it is appropriate to expand, Chief of Staff?".

"How about four?"

Luo Youdu laughed.

"also."

Xu Rui thought for a while and said, "Next, recruit new recruits. Please chief of staff and Liu Dehai, the logistics chief, to supervise the execution together."

"The recruits of the four battalions recruited, each battalion has more than [-] recruits, which is consistent with the current actual strength of other infantry battalions."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "OK."

"Liu Dehai and I will personally carry out this matter to ensure that the recruits of the four battalions can receive complete training before the next big battle. At that time, the new infantry battalion can replace the fifth and sixth battalions and station them in Heyuan County in the rear. In Haixian City, there is also the 358th Regiment headquarters monitoring the direction of Jiangjunling.”

Xu Rui nodded and said, "That's the decision."

"Next, continue to be vigilant. When the transaction is completed tomorrow morning, we must continue to seize the time to recruit and train."

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Understood, Tuan Zuo."

Then, the two leaned against the battlements and looked southwest.

At this time, it was in a roadside town about 20 kilometers southwest of Zhenting City.

More than 1 devils, under the command of Akatsuka Taro, have arrived in this small town.

The people in the town knew that so many devils had come to kill them, and none of them had escaped.

There is no way for Akatsuka Taro to use the opportunity to harm the people of this small town.

This small town is called Raojia Town.

At this time, in Rao's town, in a private house, Akatsuka Taro's temporary headquarters.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat."

There were crisp footsteps, and I saw a devil staff officer from the command headquarters walking up to Taro Akatsuka, and after a heavy pause, he reported to Taro Akatsuka: "Reporting to the division commander, the 303rd Regiment of the enemy Jinsui Army has sent us a secret telegram. ".

"This is the deciphered telegram."

After speaking, he handed the telegram to Akatsuka Taro.

Akatsuka Taro nodded, then picked up the telegram and read it.

Seeing the back, Akatsuka Taro's expression seemed to be relieved, and his expression was much more relaxed.

"Master, what happened to Xiyuan Palace?"

The one who spoke to Taro Akatsuka was Major General Nobuo Abe, chief of staff of the Fourth Division, who rushed to Taro Akatsuka from Datongcheng.

"The head of the enemy's 303rd Regiment responded that the Xiyuan Palace is in their prison, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food. Let us not act rashly. Once we attempt to attack Zhenting City, it will break the agreement to exchange His Highness tomorrow morning. At that time, They may not guarantee the safety of His Royal Highness."

Akatsuka Taro said to the chief of staff, Major General Nobuo Abe, and then handed the telegram to Nobuo Abe.

"Xu Rui, the commander of the enemy's 303rd regiment, is really arrogant."

After reading the telegram, Nobuo Abe frowned and sneered.

"After all, with the Xinyi Regiment and other departments, they jointly wiped out the 41st Division and other departments. It is not surprising that the enemy commander is so arrogant."

Akatsuka Taro waved his hand and said.

"Then we'll stand still here in Raojia Town? Division commander?"

Nobuo Abe said quietly.

"Of course!"

Akatsuka Taro said helplessly: "This time the head of the division brought, although they are all soldiers from the Fourth Division, they are all soldiers with strong fighting will.".

"However, most of the soldiers are still guys from big board merchants. You, Abe-kun, know about these guys. What's more, these guys now know that the 41st Division and other departments were wiped out by the enemy's 303rd Regiment and other departments. The situation. These guys, under my command, can enter Raojia Town here, which is considered pretty good."

"Continue to let them move forward, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will definitely be trouble on the battlefield."

Nobuo Abe smiled wryly when he heard this.

Most of the soldiers in the Fourth Division were from Daban.

Most of these guys do business with leverage, and their will to fight depends on changes in the battlefield situation.

Once the battlefield is smooth, it is absolutely brave to fight against the wind.

If things aren't right, turn in just in time to run fast.

For these large-scale soldiers, Nobuo Abe is of course clear, and naturally understands Akatsuka Taro's helplessness.

"The head of the division said so."

Abe Nobuo said helplessly.

"Communication staff!"

Akatsuka Taro then said to the communications staff officer: "Send the situation of His Highness to the headquarters and report to the Commander.".

"In addition, we have already entered Raojia Town. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the head of the division will lead a squadron to continue to advance to Zhenting City, enter the south gate of Zhenting City, and exchange with the enemy's head."

The devil's communication staff paused heavily and said: "Yes, division commander." Then he turned and left.

Akatsuka Taro then said to the chief of staff, Major General Nobuo Abe: "Mr. Abe, I ordered the various ministries dispatched this time to strictly guard Raojia Town.".

"Yes, division commander."

Nobuo Abe nodded, although it is unlikely that the enemy troops will come out of Zhenting City and come to Raojia Town on their own initiative.

However, there is nothing wrong with guarding against death, being prepared, and being more vigilant.

"Um!!"

Akatsuka Taro nodded, and continued to look at the map with Nobuo Abe.

Five or six minutes later, in Taiyuan City, in the headquarters of the Devil's First Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, General Akatsuka Taro sent a telegram. They have already contacted Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the enemy Jinsui Army. Outside the gate city, pay with one hand and deliver with one hand."

Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, came out of the communication office, then walked quickly to the command room of the headquarters, and reported to Shinozuka Yoshinan after he stood at attention, and then handed the telegram to Shinozuka Yoshinan.

"There is nothing wrong with Xiyuan Palace."

After reading the telegram, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to the chief of staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi.

"Commander."

Major General Miyano Michiichi, who received the telegram and finished reading it, also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that Xu Rui has kept his promise and added 40 yuan for food and accommodation expenses. The other party did not do it for the first time. After capturing His Highness, it’s a matter of starving His Highness for a few more meals.”

"It's hard to say now, this is Xu Rui's unilateral response."

Yoshinan Shinozuka shook his head and said: "When we exchange tomorrow, we will know the physical condition of the redeemed Xiyuan Palace."

"The commander said so."

Miyano nodded, said.

"Now, let's discuss how many imperial troops and imperial association troops will be mobilized to carry out the third large-scale counterattack against Xu Rui and other enemy troops."

Shinozuka Yoshinan pointed to the map on the table, and said to Major General Miyano Michiichi in a concentrated voice.

"Not counting the Imperial Association Army, on the Imperial Army's side, the strength of the two divisions is indispensable. Now the strength of one division cannot eat up the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army."

Miyano Michikazu immediately replied in a concentrated voice.

"Miyano-kun is right."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said in agreement. (end of this chapter)
