Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 138 The Enhanced Version of the Three-Three System Tactical Demonstration ([-]) Ask for a Monthly Pass!

The top of Lijiapo Mountain.

Yamazaki Zhihei, Kobayashi Jiro, Hikawa Okasaka and other devil officers all witnessed the entire process of the Independence Battalion's capture of the unnamed hill and the elimination of the 4th Squadron.

At this moment, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

Because they were all shocked by the fighting power displayed by the independent battalion. They thought about the fall of Wuming Mountain, and also thought that the 4th Squadron would be destroyed.

But it never occurred to them that the No. 4 Squadron was destroyed in less than 40 minutes, let alone that the casualties of the Independent Battalion would be so small.

Although they were not sure about the specific casualties of the Independent Battalion, it was not difficult to deduce through the course of the battle that the Independent Battalion did not cause much casualties.

Kobayashi Jiro said with ashen face: "Captain, the fighting power of the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army is so strong, and their battle formation, I wonder if you have noticed it."

"Their offensive formation seems to be scattered, but they are integrated with each other. The loose line of skirmishers greatly limits the firepower of the imperial army!"

"Also, their infantry and artillery coordination capabilities seem to have almost reached the level of the imperial army.

In the battle just now, as soon as the firepower of the imperial army's machine guns was exposed, it was immediately bombed by the artillery of the independent battalion, so that the imperial army of the 4th squadron could not form effective counter firepower at all, and the independent battalion completely broke through the line of defense. "

"As expected, the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army will launch an attack on Lijiapo where we are located soon.

At that time, given our current situation, I am afraid that we may not be able to withstand the attack of the independent battalion until the regimental commander and the brigade commander give us tactical guidance..."

Before Kobayashi Jiro finished speaking, there was a burst of screams from the sky as shells pierced through the air.

"Hurricane, Hurricane Hurricane..."

"Not good! It's a cannonball, hide, hide quickly!"

All the devil officers' faces changed when they heard the screeching sound, and they hurriedly sought cover to escape.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

The next moment, shells landed on the devil's front and exploded.

Some devil soldiers who were digging trenches had no time to dodge, and even their shovels were blown out.

Some devils were killed on the spot, some had their hands and feet broken, and some were covered in shrapnel from grenades, like a bloody hedgehog, whose whole body was stained red by the leached blood.

For a while, screams could be heard on the devil's forward position.

"Ugh! My hand, my hand is broken, medic, help me, help me..."

"My feet, my feet! Oh, it hurts me..."

"Ugh, my eyes, my eyes..."

……

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

Soon, the second wave of salvos from the Independence Battalion came suddenly, and the violent explosion immediately covered up the screams of the devils...

rear of the position.

Osamu Yamazaki looked at this scene with a sinking face. They had never bombed the Eighth Route Army like this before, and when was it bombed by the Eighth Route Army like this.

At this moment, the old devil clenched his steel teeth, feeling as aggrieved as he wanted.

Kobayashi Jiro was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said to Yamazaki Zhihei tremblingly: "Captain, these Chinese people are really abominable, please quickly order the artillery squadron to counter-fire and destroy their artillery positions! "

Although Yamazaki Zhihei was angry in his heart, he did not lose his mind. He said: "No! This Chinese army is very cunning. They deployed artillery positions behind shelters, making it impossible for us to determine their specific coordinates.

In addition, our artillery strength is far inferior to that of the opponent. If we fire rashly, the artillery position will be exposed, and we will definitely be attacked by the Chinese army.

Our artillery is to be used to resist the attack of the Chinese army, and it must not be exposed and destroyed at this time.

Otherwise, it may be difficult to resist the next attack of the Chinese army! "

Kobayashi Jiro said again: "Captain, the fighting power of this Eighth Route Army is really terrifying, why don't we break through as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when they launch a full-scale attack."

Yamazaki Zhihei categorically refused: "No! If we break through now, how will we explain to the regimental commander and brigade commander afterwards?"

"The fighting power of this Eighth Route Army of China is quite strong, but the more it is like this, the greater the threat it poses to our Great Japanese Imperial Army. Therefore, we need to eliminate it all the more!"

After a pause, Yamazaki Zhihei's face sank, and he continued: "Since the moment the Ministry of War summoned me with a postcard, I have been prepared to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, and as a soldier , and should be proud of Yu Sui on the battlefield! How can you be cowardly just because the enemy is a little stronger!"

"Anyone is not allowed to break out of the siege and disturb the morale of the army, otherwise don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"Hey! The lowly ranks swear to follow the captain!"

Rikawa Okazaka and other devil squadron leaders all nodded their heads, and their low morale was rekindled by Yamazaki Zhihei's words.

"Yoxi! Don't worry, we will be able to persist until the commander of the regiment and the brigade give us tactical guidance. Even if we can't, the commander of the regiment and the brigade will eliminate these Chinese Tuba Roads to avenge us!"

"Everyone, get ready for battle!"

"Also, Signal Corps, immediately send power to the regimental commander and brigade commander, and ask them to speed up their march!"

"Hi Yi!"

The Devil officers nodded again...

On the official road from Luliang to Hexi Township.

Miyamoto Hideyoshi is leading the 6th Battalion of Infantry and the Royal Association Army of the Luliang Security Regiment, a total of more than 2000 people, rushing towards Hexi Township.

At this moment, a ghost communication soldier with a radio on his back suddenly ran up and chased him: "The captain!"

"stop!"

Hearing the call, Hideyoshi Miyamoto, who was sitting in the side tricycle bucket, raised his hand to signal the driver to stop.

The ghost messenger continued: "Captain Yamazaki Zhiping just called from Lijiapo, saying that the Eighth Route Army of China has launched an attack on Lijiapo.

The Chinese Army has dispatched thousands of people, and there is still a lot of artillery firepower. The situation of the 5th Battalion is not optimistic, but they will stick to their positions to the death. I implore you to rush to reinforce as soon as possible! "

"Baga, since when did the Eighth Route Army have artillery? It seems that it is definitely its main force!"

Miyamoto Hideyoshi cursed secretly, then grinned again, revealing a fox-like insidious smile, as long as he wiped out the main force of the Eighth Route Army, he would be able to make a great contribution, and maybe his military rank would be improved even further. .

One must know that there seems to be only one step between the Colonel and the Major General, but without a strong background and military achievements, it would be almost as difficult for an ordinary Colonel to take this step.

Therefore, in Japan's military history, I don't know how many officers of Dazuo failed to take this step in their entire lives and were promoted to major generals.

"Immediately call Yamazaki Zhihei back, and tell him that I am leading the troops to rush there as quickly as possible, and ask him to hold on until we arrive!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's communicator made a promise, and then began to fiddle with the radio station, calling back the Yamazaki brigade.

Miyamoto Hideyoshi's face sank, and he ordered: "Everyone, speed up the march immediately!"

"Quick, hurry up!"
