Bright sword: the rise from the escrow quilt factory

Chapter 73

Since the First Infantry Regiment sent back their last battle report a few hours ago, they seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and no battle report was sent back.

at first.

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the troops might have already launched their final attack, and they would contact the headquarters again in a short time.

But for several hours, there was no battle report. Even if Yoshio Shinozuka would comfort himself again, he also began to feel uneasy.

Especially when he contacted the command posts of each regiment, he couldn't find their radio signals, which further deepened Yoshio Shinozuka's uneasy mood.

Just as he was about to send troops to the vicinity of the 358th regiment to find out, there was a sudden sound of loud footsteps outside the office.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked up, and it turned out that the soldier of the communications department was still holding a telegram in his hand.

"Your Excellency, Commander! There is an urgent telegram from the 14st Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Brigade!" The Japanese soldier stepped forward and handed the telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Yaoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio was full of joy, and hurriedly got up to take the telegram.

He waited several hours for this telegram, and finally got it in his hand.

now.

Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't wait to read this victory report.

When Shinozuka Yoshio set his eyes on the telegram, the joyful expression on his face froze on the spot.

He looked at the telegram in his hand in disbelief, his pea-sized eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Is this the battle report from the First Alliance?" Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't believe it.

"Hayi! Your Excellency, Commander!" The Japanese soldiers stood up and paused. "The remnants of the First Regiment are already on their way back to Jinju City after sending this battle report!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, who received an affirmative answer, suddenly changed his expression, the original happy expression disappeared, replaced by a face full of haze.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's mood change, the Japanese soldiers standing in front of the table were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a big breath.

sometimes.

It was a very unlucky job to send a telegram to a senior officer in the Japanese army. It would be fine if there was a battle report of a big victory.

In the event of a defeat, the chief will probably vent all his anger on these ordinary soldiers because he can't find a punching bag.

and so.

The Japanese soldier was very worried that he would be affected by sending this telegram of defeat.

At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka was not in the mood to care about the soldier beside him.

His attention has been completely attracted by the telegram in his hand.

Yoshio Shinozuka sat on the chair, frowning, looking at the message in his hand with a gloomy face. Under the thick lenses, those pea-sized eyes were faintly shining.

The hands holding the telegram were even a little trembling because of excitement. The content of the telegram was not the good news that the imperial army had wiped out the 358 regiment and regained His Royal Highness' jade body.

Instead, the four infantry regiments that went out to encircle and suppress the city were completely defeated, and none of them survived until the arrival of the Army Aviation Regiment.

The 1.4-strong encirclement and suppression team was completely defeated, and in the end only more than 3000 people ran back...

Shinozuka Yoshio felt a nameless anger in his heart, he couldn't figure it out, and used three times more troops than the enemy to besiege them.

result.

The imperial army was defeated by the Chinese people. When did those Chinese people become so good at fighting?

Shinozuka Yoshio had never fought such a humiliating battle since the beginning of the war.

Shinozuka Yoshio continued to flip through the telegram, feeling more and more shocked, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting.

The headquarters of the four regiments were immediately attacked by Chinese forces.

The soldiers without the command post to command the battle, because they didn't know how to proceed with the next battle, so they all waited in place with bewildered faces.

follow closely.

They were bombarded by heavy artillery from their own side, because they had no time to react, so they suffered heavy losses in the bombardment of heavy artillery.

……

"Baga Yalu!" Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly jumped up and pushed all the things on the table to the ground.

Immediately, he drew out the command knife at his waist, pointed it at the corner of the wooden table, and slashed down fiercely.

A triangular piece of wood immediately flew to the ground, bumped twice on the ground, and rolled to the feet of the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldiers standing aside looked at the neat triangular wooden blocks on the ground, and suddenly they were so frightened that they thumped hard and lowered their heads a little bit.

Looking at the violent commander standing in front of the table, he was trembling with fright, walking on thin ice.

Thinking of the scene of the saber being cut on his body, the Japanese soldier became even more frightened, and his body shook like a dice.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked coldly at the missing corner of the table, slowly exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and put the general knife back into the scabbard.

Those Chinese soldiers are really good means!They ate up their command post immediately, this was the first time Yoshio Shinozuka encountered such a thing.

What's more, after finishing the command post, they immediately marched to the artillery position and snatched the artillery position.

The imperial army in the artillery position didn't even have a chance to blow up the artillery, so they were all taken down by the Chinese army.

Shinozuka Yoshio could already imagine that the imperial army in the artillery position must have fallen into a hard fight, which made them unable to distract themselves from thinking about other things.

When he saw this, Shinozuka Yoshio could actually understand why the imperial army of the four regiments was beaten so miserably by the Chinese army.

Although the artillery power of each wing is very limited, the number of artillery in four wings will be very impressive.

Not to mention that there is another 150mm caliber howitzer in the artillery position, which was temporarily deployed in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

A 150mm howitzer can even destroy the position of a battalion of the Chinese Army with one shot.

And those nasty Chinese soldiers will certainly not save shells like the imperial army.

After the Chinese soldiers captured the artillery positions of the imperial army, they must have poured out all the shells they could use.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the telegram in his hand, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, no more large-caliber artillery was dispatched, otherwise the imperial army will suffer even greater losses."

He can only comfort himself like this now.

Because once Shinozuka Yoshio thought that all the artillery of the four regiments had been taken away by the Chinese, he would feel very heartbroken.

Thinking of the other losses in the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a headache. He sat down on the chair and kneaded his forehead non-stop.

Under the circumstances of absolute crushing, he, the commander of the First Army, could hardly absolve himself of the blame for fighting the battle like this.

"Your Excellency, I'm back!"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from his ear, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly showed surprise, followed the voice and looked over: "Yamamoto-kun, you are finally back!"
