Chapter 564 What is the Eighth Route Army?(1/2)
Outside the Wild Boar Gully, the 1st Japanese Division was stationed.
Miho Nakazawa came to the front of the position wearing a raincoat. Chief of Staff Takahashi Manzo and the adjutant quickly took the lead and covered Miho Nakazawa with their bodies.
"What are you doing?" Nakazawa Mitsuo said furiously, "You are blocking my view."
"Teacher Commander, this is for your safety." Takahashi Mitsuzo said seriously, "Not long ago, the commander of Ando Division and the commander of the Takamura Division of the Qiannan Cluster were sniped by the Eighth Route Army."
"It turns out that there is indeed a special force in the battle sequence of the 386th Brigade."
"And this special forces are extremely good at sniping, assassination, reconnaissance and other combat missions." After a pause, he said, "So we must ensure the safety of your life as a division commander."
"Bagayaru, don't you look at the current weather?"
Mito Nakazawa said: "How far can the Eighth Route Army snipers see in such heavy rain? In addition, so many of you gathered around me like stars and moons. This is the biggest danger, okay?"
When Takahashi Manzo heard it made sense, he quickly signaled everyone to scatter.
Only then did Nakazawa Sanfu be able to see the hillsides on both sides of the Wild Boar Gully ahead.
I saw that after days of heavy rain, two simple roads had been washed away.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Regiment of the Tanks can no longer be driven.
Takahashi Manzo couldn't help complaining: "Second Commander, it would be too hard to continue attacking in such weather. Otherwise, let the troops rest for two days and wait until the rain stops before continuing to attack?"
"No." Nakazawa Mio said decisively, "The offensive must never stop."
After a pause, Nakazawa Miho said again: "Takahashi, although the Imperial Army has worked hard, it is still hard, so what we are competing now is the willpower of both sides."
"At this time, the Imperial Army was always depressed."
"Then the attack on Wild Boar Gully in the first half of the month may have been wasted all previous efforts."
Although Takahashi Manzo disagreed with Mito Nakazawa's words, he did not argue.
Mifu Nakazawa said again: "However, it is indeed a problem that the tanks of the tank wing and the search wing cannot be raised, so the power in the past few days can be weakened, but you must never stop."
Takahashi Manzo suddenly said, "The division commander means..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge cheer suddenly sounded on the hillside ahead.
The two old Japanese soldiers looked up and saw that many Japanese soldiers were already on the ridge, waving their Type 38 rifles in the heavy rain, cheering forth.
"This is..." Nakazawa Mio said, "Takahashikun, what are they cheering?"
"It seems like I'm cheering long live." Takahashi Manzo said, "Can you say that the 1st infantry Regiment has already taken the fortress? It shouldn't be true, it's not like it will take at least two days?"
While speaking, a communication soldier was already stumbled over in mud and water.
After running to the nearest Mifu Nakazawa, the communication soldier even slipped and fell and fell to eat shit.
"Baga." Takahashi Manzo reached out to help the communications soldier up, and said with a dark face, "What are you doing with a irritable tantrum?"
"Hayi." The communication soldier paused his head slightly, then turned to Mifu Nakazawa and said, "Teacher Commander, the corps leader asked me to report to you that our 1st infantry revolver has broken through the last line of defense in the Wild Boar Gourd Fortress!"
"Have you broken through the last line of defense?" Takahashi Manzo was overjoyed when he heard this.
But Mifu Nakazawa felt something abnormal and frowned and asked, "Has the Eighth Route Army been wiped out?"
"Uh..." The communications soldier was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "There is no such thing. There are still more than a hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers who ran away in the chaos."
"More than a hundred?" Nakazawa Mio frowned, "Only more than a hundred?"
The correspondent soldier said: "Yes, there are only more than a hundred Eighth Route Army that fled from the last bunker group."
"Impossible." Nakazawa Mio said flatly, "By last night, the Eighth Route Army even had its troops to launch a counterattack. Judging from the fire exchange in the early morning, the Eighth Route Army had at least 500 troops, and it was absolutely impossible that there were only a few hundred people left. There must be a conspiracy hidden in the middle. Go back and tell Yangtianjun that he must be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the wild boar ditch ahead.
The sound sounded a bit like the thunder in the sky, and it seemed to be very far away, but Mio Nakazawa and Mitosa Takahashi, who had experienced many battles, changed their faces instantly.
"Bagayalu!" The two old Japanese cursed almost at the same time.
Then the ground under everyone's feet began to tremble violently.
Since it was rainy and the ground was slippery, several staff officers and guards fell to the ground immediately.
Mifu Nakazawa almost fell down, but Takahashi Manhisa's eyes were quick and quick. He stretched out his hand to support him, so that Mifu Nakazawa could also save him from falling a dog to eat shit.
The staff and guards below looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Only Mio Nakazawa and Manzo Takahashi knew what was going on. Both of them were a little worried, worried that the 1st Infantry Regiment might suffer a big loss this time.
News soon came back.
The pursuit troops of the 1st Infantry Regiment were trapped in the Eighth Route Army. Two infantry squadrons were blown into pieces by hundreds of landmines and hundreds of kilograms of explosives left by the Eighth Route Army.
"Bagayalu." Takahashi Manzo cursed, "The Eighth Route Army is so cunning."
Speaking of this, he said: "Teacher Commander, if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be mines or explosive packs on the road ahead and on the hillsides on both sides of the road."
"This is undoubtedly." Nakazawa Mio agreed and continued, "Order the 1st Engineer's 1st Fleet to send a brigade to work with the 1st Search wing to clear obstacles for the main force of the division."
"Hayi." Takahashi Manzo slammed his head heavily.
...
In Peiping, No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong.
After breakfast, Okamura Yasuji came to the war room excitedly.
These days, Okamura Yanji has been in a very good mood.
The weather was so beautiful. It rained for several days in a row, causing the water level in the northwest section of the Yellow River to soar, which made the transfer work of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army more difficult.
Let’s not talk about anything else, at least the arsenal’s machinery and equipment and millions of Chinese people can’t escape.
As long as the arsenal can be destroyed and more than one million ordinary people in northwestern Shanxi can be massacred, the foundation of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi will be considered destroyed.
Even if the 386th Brigade finally breaks out, it will be difficult to achieve a climate.
Because of the loss of the full support of the people and the continuous ammunition supply, the 386th Brigade will only fight less and weaker, and will eventually be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Okamura Yanji seemed even happier.
"Your Excellency General." You Mo Jingsan came forward and paused and said, "There is good news."
"Oh, is it? There is good news early in the morning?" Okamura Nishi was in a better mood and said, "What good news?"
There are three meditations: "A quarter of an hour ago, the 1st Division had already broken through the Wild Boar Gow Fortress, and is now attacking and advancing towards Dongxian along the same Dandelion Road."
"Huh? Did you go ahead?" Okamura Niji was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't you say it will take three days?"
"Who knows." Aoshi Semi spread his hands, "Maybe the will of the Eighth Route Army collapsed."
"This is impossible." Okamura Yasuji said flatly, "The will of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will definitely not collapse! There must be a problem in the middle. Maybe this is the conspiracy of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. If you have Mo Jun, call the 1st Division immediately. Don't underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly! Let them stop immediately!"
"Your Highness General is really aware of things." Youmo Jingsan sighed, "You really got it right."
"What?" Okamura Yanji's face collapsed and he said in a deep voice, "Has the 1st Division been attacked?"
"Yes." You Mo Jing San said, "Actually, early this morning, the Eighth Route Army gave up the Wild Boar Gow Fortress. The Yangtian United thought this was an opportunity, so they immediately ordered two infantry squadrons to launch a pursuit."
"As a result, these two infantry squadrons stepped into the trap with one foot."
"The landmines and explosive packs left by the Eighth Route Army were blown into pieces."
He paused and said, "You must be careful everywhere when fighting with the Eighth Route Army."
"That's needless to say, the Eighth Route Army is definitely much more difficult to deal with than the Chinese Central Army and the Jinsui Army." Okamura Yasuki nodded with consent, and then said, "I would like to remind the troops in other directions, so that they must be vigilant. If the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side suddenly retreats, you must not underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly, and must ensure safety!"
You Mo Jingsan said: "Your General is worried that the 386th Brigade will shrink completely?"
"Yes." Okamura Yanji said to the sand table, "Wild Boargou Fortress was lost, and the fortification chain built by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery of the bandit area collapsed. At this time, they had only two choices, either split their troops to break out to the outside line, or shrink their troops to rebuild the second line of defense in the inside line."
"Oh no." You Mo Jingsan suddenly changed his expression, "In this case, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will definitely break through. Then, after we have spent so much manpower and material resources to organize a large-scale mobilization, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts?"
"No, how can this be said to be wasted all previous efforts?" Okamura Yasuji waved his hand, "As long as he can destroy the arsenal in northwest Shanxi and kill all the more than one million unlucky people in the bandit area, this sweep will be a win, because without the arsenal and more than one million unlucky people in the bandit area, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has become a rootless tree."
After a pause, Okamura Yasuji said again: "As for the main force of the 386th Brigade, it is best to be able to catch this time, but it doesn't matter if you can't catch it. There will be opportunities in the future."
正说呢,通讯课长黑着脸走了进来.
Atsushi Mitsu received the telegram from the Communications Division Chief, and his face collapsed after reading it: "Team Commander, we are one step late, so there is no need to send telegrams to troops in other directions."
"What?" Okamura Niji frowned, "Did I really make it right?"
"Yes." Youmo Jingsan said in a deep voice, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suddenly contracted. The troops in all directions did not know that they were planning, so they chose to send troops to pursue them, but they all fell into the plot."
"The 110th Division suffered the least loss, only one squadron was lost."
"The Northern Cluster suffered the greatest losses, with four infantry squadrons blown up!"
After a pause, the Imperial Army said again: "This morning, the Imperial Army lost three brigades!"
"Damn, these idiots." Okamura Neji was so angry that he cursed, "I'm really not cautious at all. I know that the opponent this time is both cruel and cunning, but he is so careless!"
"But fortunately, after suffering this loss, they should have learned their lessons." There were three sub-sophisticated words, "Then you will not underestimate the enemy and advance in the next battle. If you look at it like this, it will be a good thing again."
"Yes." Okamura Yasuji nodded and said, "If you don't talk about this, let's discuss how the Eighth Route Army's 386th Brigade will adjust their defense deployment after the shrinkage?"
"Hayi." There are three final essences and three slaps in the head.
