Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 493 Unreconciled Fengwu Yamashita: I want to kill Li Yunlong with a carbine
In the wilderness three kilometers east of Phoenix Ridge.

Yamashita Fengwu led the remnant army like a bereaved dog, and fled all the way for 10 minutes. After confirming that the Eighth Route Army behind did not pursue them, they stopped.

While taking a breath, the devil's medical soldiers finally had time to treat the wounded.

At this time, Chiba Tomie, the chief of staff who carried the rank of Major on his shoulders, tidied up his somewhat messy military uniform, and went to Fengwu Yamashita to ask for instructions: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, what should we do now? We have bypassed the Eighth Route Army's set up at Fenghuang Ridge." If the ambush circle continues to go south, we can drive straight in and go straight to Jinzhong County."

Yamashita Fengwu said with a gloomy face: "In the battle of Fenghuangling, although we successfully broke through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, we suffered 60% casualties, and all the heavy fire weapons were lost. We only had a few light machine guns and some grenades in our hands. .

There are still a few mortars, but none of the heavy machine guns. Even if they arrive at Jinzhong County, what can they do?
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army may not have set up a blocking line. The fact that the Eighth Route Army did not pursue it just now is the best proof.

If we fall into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army again, it will not be so easy to break out again. "

After a pause, Fengwu Shanshita changed his voice and continued: "Besides, even if the Eighth Route Army only set up an ambush circle halfway, the Eighth Route Army in Fenghuang Ridge can return to defense.

I have just carefully observed that the strength of this Eighth Route Army is no less than that of our 8th Mixed Brigade, and it has all kinds of light and heavy weapons.

With our current state right now, even if we encounter it head-on, we probably won't be able to defeat it. "

When Qianye Fujiang heard it, his face became ugly, and he asked again: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, what should we do now? Return to Taiyuan City?"

Yamashita Fengwu shook his head, a fierce light shot out from his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shall we fight back?"

Qianye Fujiang was taken aback, not understanding what Brigade Commander Yamashita Bongwu meant. He said just now that even if he confronted the Eighth Route Army on Fenghuangling head-on, it would be difficult to defeat him, and now he wants to fight back.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have just been reorganized, and we are not the opponent of this Eighth Route Army. And you also said that almost all of our heavy firepower weapons are now lost. Even if we face the Eighth Route Army on Fenghuang Ridge head-on It's hard to beat it.

If we fight back now, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap? "

"It's different!" Yamashita Bongtake shook his head.

Chiba Tomie: "What's the difference?"

Yamashita Fengwu: "We just entered the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. Not only did they commandeer, they seized a favorable position in advance, deployed light and heavy firepower points, and planted a large number of mines on the road.

In that case, the advantages of our Great Japanese Imperial Army's well-equipped and well-trained soldiers could not be brought into play at all.

Failure is completely reasonable. "

"Our current state is very bad, and it is really difficult to beat it head-on.

But right now, the Eighth Route Army has just won a big battle, so it must relax its vigilance, maybe it is greedily cleaning up the battlefield, picking up the weapons and equipment of our Imperial Japanese Army, if we fight back now, we will definitely catch them by surprise! "

After a pause, Fengwu Yamashita changed the subject, and continued: "Furthermore, the battle at Fenghuang Ridge was a great shame to my invincible Imperial Japanese Army.

If we don't get this place back, then our shame will definitely be in the military history of the empire, and we will be ridiculed forever by the descendants of the empire. "

"Besides, if we can't get this place back, how can we have the face to go back to meet Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and His Majesty the Emperor?"

The last passage is the real reason why Yamashita Fengwu wants to go back for revenge.

He is an extremely proud person, but his brother Yamashita Bongbun's radiance is too strong, covering up all his radiance.

When people mention the Yamashita family, they always only mention his elder brother. Even if they mention him, they will subconsciously think that he got his current status by going through the back door.

At this moment, Fengwu at the foot of the mountain returned to Taiyuan so disheartened, didn't he just respond to what others said?
Chiba Tomie frowned tightly, and he said: "The matter is very important, should we first ask Commander Shinozuka Yoshio for instructions?"

Fengwu Yamashita's expression sank and he said, "How dare we ask Commander Yoshio Shinozuka for instructions now?"

"After this battle is over and our shame has been washed away with the blood of those Tubalu, I will plead guilty to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

I will fully bear all the guilt!
Now, you just need to swoop in on my orders! "

"Hi Yi!"

Although Chiba Tomie felt that Yamashita Futake's decision was very risky, and might even ruin the entire independent mixed 8th brigade, but seeing that the other party's mind was determined, he could only pause heavily.

The internal hierarchy of the Japanese army was extremely strict. If he dared to continue admonishing at this time, the other party might give him a few slaps, or reward him with a peanut.

Anyway, when the sky is falling and there is a tall man standing there, why should he ask for trouble?
Just when Chiba Tomie frowned and was about to convey the order, a communication soldier with a radio station on his back ran over in a hurry.

The communication soldier held a translated message in his hand, and he walked quickly down the mountain to Fengwu, put his legs together and stood at attention, then paused and said: "Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the 9th Brigade of Jinzhong Imperial Army General Naotomi Hattori sent an urgent telegram, asking where we were, what happened on the way, whether we were blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and when we would arrive in Jinzhong.

He also said that the situation in Jinzhong County is very serious. The Eighth Route Army has invested at least 5000 people and is gradually compressing the defense line of the 9th Brigade.

If they cannot get tactical guidance in time, they may not be able to persist until dawn. "

Fengwu Yamashita frowned and thought for a moment, then instructed the communication soldier in front of him: "Call Hattori-kun right away, saying that we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Fenghuang Ridge, and we are currently exchanging fire with the Eighth Route Army. After joining the Eighth Route Army, he will go to Jinzhong County as soon as possible, so he must persevere!"

"Hi Yi!"

After the devil's messenger took down the order of the brigade commander Yamashita Tomotake, he nodded heavily, then turned and left, and sent a telegram.

Immediately afterwards, Chiba Tomie also conveyed Yamashita's order.

After a short rest, the remnant of the independent and mixed 8th Brigade immediately followed the brigade leader, Yamashita, and turned back in the direction of Fenghuangling.

It has to be said that the quality of the Japanese army is really not ordinary. If it were replaced by an ordinary army, after the casualties exceeded 60%, they would have lost their combat effectiveness long ago.

However, there was no trace of fear or retreat in the eyes of this remnant army of devils, as if they were a group of cold-blooded machines.
