Chapter 78 Kill Order!
"Your Excellency, it is true!"

Inaba Jiro hurriedly handed the farewell telegram to Major General Miyamoto Taro, and said bitterly: "Now we can no longer use the radio to get in touch with the Sakata Regiment Headquarters."

"There is only one possibility. The radio station of the Sakata Regiment Headquarters has been destroyed by the enemy, or it was actively destroyed by the communication soldiers of the Sakata Regiment Headquarters. As a result, the Brigade and Regiment Headquarters could not get in touch with the Bantian Regiment Headquarters, Your Excellency the General. .”

Hearing this, Taro Miyamoto snatched the secret farewell telegram and read it quickly.

The more he saw the end, Major General Miyamoto Taro's face became gloomy, as if a nest of anger would burst out at any time.

"Bang!!!"

After reading the content of the secret farewell telegram sent by Sakata Nobuzor, Miyamoto Taro couldn't bear it anymore, and directly smashed the telegram in his hand on the desktop in front of him, and immediately said angrily: "Eight grids!" Yalu, Sakata Nobuzaki, this trash, is so incompetent."

"The elite imperial army who personally commanded a full infantry brigade, defending Heyuan County, a strong county in the northwest of Shanxi Province, was completely eaten by others in just over an hour."

Gasping for breath, Miyamoto Taro said angrily with a ferocious face: "Waste, waste, incompetent guy!".

"It took me less than a week to lose an elite infantry regiment of mine!"

Seeing that Miyamoto Taro scolded almost without a break to catch his breath, Colonel Ikeda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade, bit the bullet and persuaded: "Your Excellency, calm down!".

"How do I appease my anger? Ikeda-kun!"

Miyamoto Taro picked up the telegram that was slapped on the table, handed it to Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda, and continued to scold: "Sakata Nobuzor, this trash, spent all the money in his hand in such a short time.".

"In the past, he was able to defeat the elite troops of the two divisions of the Central Army with one blow. Now, facing a regiment-level ordinary infantry unit of the Jinsui Army, he will be completely wiped out by others. , Speaking out, this is simply a disgrace to my Fourth Brigade. What do other imperial army colleagues think of me, Miyamoto Taro?"

Ikeda Kenjiro bit the bullet and took the farewell telegram and read it.

After reading it, Ikeda Kenjiro was also speechless.

"Your Excellency, the matter has come to this point. The regiment under Sakata Nobuzaki has basically been determined to have fallen to the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Ikeda Kenjiro put down the telegram and said helplessly: "Now, Heyuan County has been captured by the enemy.".

"Your Excellency, the Ishida Battalion that reinforces Sakata Nobuzuri, should we continue to go north and recover Heyuan County, or withdraw our troops and return south?"

When Taro Miyamoto heard this, his anger suddenly subsided a little. Immediately, he put his hands on the table and looked at Heyuan County on the map and the sand table, as well as the reinforcement route of the Ishida Infantry Battalion of the Juda United Regiment going north for reinforcements. .

"Inaba-san!"

Miyamoto Taro said directly to Major Inaba Jiro, the communication staff officer of the brigade and regiment, who was standing on the sidelines: "Immediately send a report to Onju Ishida, Captain of the First Infantry Battalion of the Judo Regiment, and ask him where he is now heading north." .”

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

Inaba Jiro hurriedly paused, and was about to turn around and return to the communication room, but was stopped by Miyamoto Taro again.

"Stop!"

Miyamoto Taro called Inaba Jiro to stop, and said: "The rest of the Sakata Regiment was wiped out by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Heyuan County has fallen, and Ishida Wenshu will let me know by the way."

"Tell Ishida Onju not to expand this situation. How long can we hide the news that the Sakata Regiment was wiped out by the enemy? For how long!"

Inaba Jiro said heavily: "Yes, Your Excellency General! I understand the humble position!".

Immediately, Miyamoto Taro waved his hand to signal that he could go away.

After Jiro Inaba walked away and returned to his communication room, Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda, who listened to Taro Miyamoto's words, said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, General, are you worried that the enemy will make a big splash about the record of annihilating the Sakata Regiment?".

"Yes!"

Miyamoto Taro said helplessly: "Once this news comes out, it will definitely boost the morale of the enemy army.".

"As far as the imperial army is concerned, if an elite infantry regiment is wiped out, it must be hit. We can only hope that the enemy commander doesn't have the intention to publicize the fighters!"

Ikeda Kenjiro shook his head silently when he heard this.

How can this be?

If he Ikeda Kenjiro was Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, he would definitely publicize the record of annihilating the Sakata United.

After all, for them, this is a huge victory, how could the opponent miss this opportunity to hit the morale of the imperial army?

It's just that I don't know now.

Miyamoto Taro asked Ishida Onju, the devil commander of the reinforcements, not to expand the news that the Sakata United was wiped out by the enemy. In fact, he was just deceiving himself.

If the enemy commander Xu Rui took the initiative to promote it, it would be futile.

For a moment, Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro looked at each other silently.

A few minutes later, Inaba Jiro walked out again from the communication room of the brigade headquarters, walked to Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro in front of the two old devils, and stood uprightly: "General, Chief of Staff, Ishida Onsu Call back, they are now away from Heyuan County, and the reinforcements have arrived about seven or eight kilometers away from Heyuan County."

"Actually, Major Ishida Onshu called back to report that he would not be able to arrive outside the city of Heyuan County until at least around four o'clock in the morning."

Hearing this, Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro looked at the map and sand table placed on the table in front of them.

Ikeda Kenjiro pointed to two locations on the map and the sand table, and said, "Your Excellency, General, here!".

"The road is rough. On the way of reinforcements, there are booby traps laid by the enemy to slow down the speed of the reinforcements!"

After receiving the telegram from Inaba Jiro and reading it, Miyamoto Taro said with a gloomy expression: "It seems that Xu Rui, the head of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, has realized that we will come from the Huting stronghold, the Xu family Town, Hanjia Town mobilized Ishida Onshu's infantry brigade to go north to reinforce Sakata Nobuzaki.".

"It must be sending a small group of troops to the south to lay booby traps along the way of the reinforcements going north, to slow down the marching speed of the reinforcements. Damn, cunning and cunning!"

Ikeda Kenjiro said in a condensed voice, "Your Excellency, the enemy commander Xu Rui already knows that the imperial army's reinforcements are going north."

"It is estimated that they are ready for battle. Now the rest of the Bantian Alliance and the Imperial Association Army in Heyuan County have been eaten by the enemy. There are only 1000 reinforcements. Even if they go to Heyuan County now, it is meaningless. "

After a pause, Ikeda Kenjiro continued, "According to the farewell telegram sent by Sakata Nobuzo, the enemy army besieging Heyuan County has three infantry battalions and a full-stacked enemy regiment-level unit with strong combat effectiveness."

"It is a reinforcement infantry brigade commanded by Ishida Wenshu. It is impossible to take back Heyuan County."

Although Taro Miyamoto is unwilling to believe that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army is weaker than that of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, an enemy force that he didn't know much about before.

However, the result now is that Nobuki Sakata and his infantry regiment were eaten by others in less than a week.

"I really want to issue a kill order! Ikeda-kun!"

Miyamoto Taro suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
