Chapter 1421 Misfortune and fortune depend on each other
Xiaoshan County, Guard Division Headquarters.
Kinoshita Yukihiro took a telegram and walked slowly to Iida Yoshiro and said, "Teacher Commander."
As if he had already entered a state of meditation, Yoshiro Iida came to his senses and frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
Kinoshita sighed lightly in his heart and said with a sad expression: "Five minutes ago, Nan Xijun from the 1st Anti-aircraft Cannon Regiment sent a farewell telegram."
Iida Xiangjiro said expressionlessly: "Miss."
"Hayi!" Kinoshita Yuki paused his head and telegrammed, "The Division Headquarters: Guards Cavalry Regiment, Cavalry 13th Cavalry Regiment and Cavalry 14th Cavalry Regiment have all been broken. The Chinese Army's offensive has not diminished and has approached our corps headquarters. At this time of life and death, the only thing that can be done is to lead all the anti-aircraft artillery corps to fight to the death and die with the enemy."
"Minkiyohiko, the captain of the anti-aircraft artillery corps of the Imperial Guard Division of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, say goodbye!"
"November 1, 14th year of Showa!"
After reading the telegram, Kinoshita Yuki downed his head deeply.
The breath that Iida Xiangjiro vomited out in his chest.
The southern brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the national army, which was something Iida Shojiro never expected.
This slap knocked down on the head and almost knocked Iida Xiangjiro out of the air, but now that things have come to this point, regret, guilt and even blame themselves is useless, because no matter how regretful it is, the southern brigade cannot save it!
So now, the only thing he can do is learn from his mistakes and summarize carefully.
"Kishita Jun." Yoshiro Iida said in a quiet tone, "I call the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Guards, there is no need to rush to launch a strong attack on the enemy in front of you. It is not too late to attack when the 4th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery arrives. In addition, immediately convene all the officers of the division headquarters and above. I will convene a meeting of Muliu immediately."
Faced with the cruel facts, Yoshiro Iida finally admitted defeat.
Iida Yoshiro finally stopped sticking to his ridiculous pride and finally decided to convene all officers above the magistrate and hold a meeting of staff. No matter what, this is a good thing for the Guard Division.
"Hayi!" Kinoshita Yuki paused heavily, turned around and left.
...
In Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.
Principal Chang got up early all morning and didn't even have breakfast, so he went straight to the three places of service.
Principal Chang was thinking about the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian. He didn't even close his eyes last night. He got up until the morning and came to the war room of Shisan.
The war room of Shisan Department was busy.
Zhang Zhizhong, director of the attendant's office, Tang Zong, leader of the third group of attendant, and several high-speakers of the third group of attendant's office did not sleep all night. They were all busy working on the map and restoring the situation on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian.
As a result, as soon as Principal Chang came in, he received a telegram from the front line.
After reading the telegram, Zhang Zhizhong said excitedly: "Principal, great victory! Great victory in Dachen Town! The 41st Group Army had just won the Great victory in Dachen Town and annihilated the 1st Japanese cavalry Brigade in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Principal Chang clenched his fists hard when he heard this.
The second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle started another good start!
After a pause, President Chang continued to ask: "What is the result of the battle?"
Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and said, "The telegram did not say it, it is probably still under statistics."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "But according to the humble position, the results of the battle should not be small, because the 1st cavalry brigade that was pursuing south was hastily transferred from attack to defense, and during the pursuit, the Rong 4th Division and Rong 7th Division of the 41st Army were pulled behind. In other words, when the pursuit troops of the 1st cavalry brigade retreated to Dachen Town, they had actually fallen into the heavy encirclement of the 41st Army, and it should be rare to escape."
Principal Chang said: "Where is the brigade headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Brigade in Tongshan Town?"
"Ah, right." Zhang Zhizhong slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. An hour ago, the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone had already sent a telegram. The Special Forces Brigade of the 10th Army had already destroyed the Japanese Brigade headquarters left in Tongshan Town. The commander of the 1st Japanese Cavalry Brigade, Nanbu Bozhi, was also shot dead by the special forces team on the spot!"
"This is great!" Principal Chang said with greater joy. "As long as the brigade headquarters of the 1st Japanese cavalry brigade is destroyed, this battle will be truly complete and can be considered a true annihilation!"
Speaking of this, Principal Chang said: "I am sending my order to immediately give the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, and the 41st Group Army will send a telephone reward to all departments involved in the war! Then let the Ministry of Military Affairs draft a list of commendations and reward the soldiers who have made contributions. The standards can be set higher. The funds and materials required for the reward will be temporarily resolved by the Yinjiang Municipal Government."
"Telection from Yinjiang, this is just a temporary loan, and it will definitely be restored when the central government's finances are abundant."
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong responded reverently, recorded the message orally told by Principal Chang, and handed it over to a third-level attendant to send it to the Communications Department.
...
Shanghai, the 13th Japanese Army Command.
Usa Mitsuto walked into Okamura's office with a serious expression, and said, "Your Excellency Commander..."
Before Usa Mitsuru finished speaking, Okamura Yiji waved his hand and interrupted, saying quietly: "Usa Mitsuru, you don't need to say more, I can probably guess it."
"Hayi." Usa Mito paused, really not saying anything more.
Okamura Yasuji sighed and said, "I lost the first battle and lost a cavalry brigade. This is really not good news. I don't even know how to explain it to the base camp."
"It's just a truthful report." Usa Mitsuru said stiffly, "The defeat in this battle was caused by the will of Yoshiro Iida and Hiroyuki Nanbu. Now Hiroyuki Nanbu has paid the price of his mistakes and arrogance. As the commander of the Guard Division, Iida Yoshiro must also take responsibility for this!"
Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "Usa Mikun, you must have heard of the allusion that Sai Weng lost his horse, right?"
"Hai." Usa Mirō said, "I listen to this, this is a very famous allusion in China."
Okamura Yasuji nodded and said, "After this defeat, Iida Jun will not be as arrogant as before, and it is even more impossible to act alone and ignore the orders issued by the commander. Therefore, this is a good thing for the future battle situation. This is what is called misfortune, good fortune is dependence, and good fortune is concealed by misfortune."
Usa Mirō was stunned at first when he heard this, and then exclaimed: "Your commander, please understand thousands of miles, and you are very proud of your humble duties."
