Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Okamoto Osamu explained with a look of panic: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, calm down. It's not that he is incompetent. It is really that Tubalu has made sufficient preparations. They deployed a large number of mines on the road in advance, and it was a sneak attack. When they met each other, they attacked suddenly, causing a large number of casualties to our troops.

This caused our department to fail to break through the opponent's blocking line. "

The devils are not monolithic inside, just like their army and navy, they are like enemies to each other.

Since Japan poured its main resources on the navy, only a small part was used on the army, which made the army have great opinions on the navy.

On the contrary, the navy thinks they are superior and looks down on the army very much.

So much so that the Japanese army and navy disliked each other, and even made a stumbling block, concealing information from each other on a life-and-death battlefield.

On several occasions, the Japanese navy even watched the army on land being beaten, and was unwilling to provide even a little fire reinforcement.

Not only did the Japanese army and navy dislike each other, but there were also many conflicts within the army. One brigade disliked the other, and one brigade disliked the other.

Koji Ono, the captain of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment at the time, saw that Osamu Okamoto was not pleasing to his eyes. At this moment, he finally caught the opportunity to make trouble, and immediately stood up and mocked: "Okamoto-kun, incompetence is incompetence! What Eighth Route Army Being well prepared and laying a lot of mines on the road is nothing more than an excuse for your own failure.

If it were replaced by my 2nd Battalion, this Eighth Route Army would definitely be defeated in one fell swoop. At this moment, maybe even the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Imperial Army Airport would also be wiped out! "

"What? The Eighth Route Army attacked the airport? Aren't they attacking the Wusu military depot?" Hearing this, Okamoto Haruhiro was startled and completely forgot the grievances with Koji Ono, because of the importance of the airport, he was very Clearly, before that, he didn't know that the airport was attacked.

His task is only to reinforce the Wusu military depot.

Koji Ono said: "The Eighth Route Army captured the Wusu Military Station half an hour ago and launched an attack on the airport.

If not, do you think it is necessary for His Excellency the brigade commander to go out in person? "

The proud Koji Ono thought that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, and he had always looked down on the Eighth Route Army. In addition, he had never suffered a loss in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Your Excellency, Okamoto-kun is incompetent, I am willing to lead the imperial army of the second brigade to take the initiative to attack, and I will be able to tear through the Tuba Road's defense line in one fell swoop!"

Norihide Abe was already extremely disappointed with Okamoto Osamu, and was about to agree to Koji Ono's challenge, but the chief of staff, Suzuki Kiyozaburo, took the lead and said, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the airport right now. It's critical and we don't have much time to waste on the road."

After a pause, Suzuki Kiyozaburo changed the subject and continued: "Of course, my job is not to doubt the ability of the Second Battalion of the Imperial Army. It is not difficult for them to tear through the Eighth Route Army's defense line, but it will take a lot of time."

"If we delay here for too long, we may miss the opportunity to fight."…

"Right now, there are farmlands all around here, and there are no mountains or rivers blocking the road. So, should we give up the strong attack and bypass the Eighth Route Army's defense line instead?"

Abe Kihide frowned and said: "Suzuki-kun, your proposal is very good, but the problem is that if we take a detour, it means that we have to abandon the vehicle and walk instead. In this way, the marching speed will be much slower, and it will also be delayed. time."

Suzuki Kiyosaburo: "Of course I know this, but the problem is, if the 2nd Battalion cannot be torn apart from the Eighth Route Army's blockade line in a short time, if we change our strategy then, the time to be wasted is not just giving up the vehicles. Clicked."

Norihide Abe thought it made sense, and after thinking for a while, he said: "So, Suzuki-kun, you lead the third brigade to detour, and I lead the main force of the brigade to break out from the front. Come on, even if you can't tear the Eighth Route Army's blocking line from the front in a short time, it won't waste too much time.

Conversely, if we can tear through the blocking line of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, it won't waste too much time. "

Suzuki Kiyosaburo: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, I have a good opinion, so that this position will be one step ahead."

Norihide Abe bowed to Suzuki Kiyosaburo: "Suzuki-kun, please!"

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, I am serious. It is my duty to share your worries. I will do my best to lead my troops to the airport in the shortest possible time!" Suzuki Kiyosaburo bowed back, and said Turn around and leave the soldiers.

Norihide Abe looked at Koji Ono again: "Ono-kun, I'll give you 10 minutes to break through the blocking line of Tuba Road and complete the mine clearance!"

"Hi Yi! I will definitely not disappoint your trust, brigade commander!"

After finishing speaking, Ono Koji paused respectfully, then turned and left with his saber in his hand, and at the end he did not forget to cast a provocative look at Okamoto Haruhiro.

Osamu Okamoto was so angry, although he knew that if Koji Ono could not break through the blocking line of the Eighth Route Army, it would delay the reinforcement of fighter planes at the airport, which would cause huge losses to the imperial army.

But at this moment, he hoped that Koji Ono's mission would fail, and that he would be beaten to shame by the Eighth Route Army.

One is because he can’t get used to Koji Ono’s arrogance as a villain, and the other is that if Koji Ono also fails, it means that it’s not that Okamoto Osamu is incompetent, but that the Eighth Route Army is really hard to deal with...

The screen is drawn to Taiyuan City, the war room of the Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

Tonight, because the Eighth Route Army had achieved considerable results a few days ago, it was determined that the Japanese army was unable to increase its troops.

The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army changed its strategy tonight, and launched an attack on the major strongholds in advance at [-] o'clock in the evening.

The Eighth Route Army did not launch an attack until 12 o'clock in the evening two days ago, which made the devils in the stronghold think that the Eighth Route Army would not launch an attack until after 12 o'clock tonight.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack in advance, and immediately caught the little devils in the major strongholds by surprise.

In particular, the 772nd, 771st, and 769th regiments and the New Second Regiment also joined the battle tonight.

So, the devils in the major strongholds rushed to Shinozuka Yoshio for help.

Unfortunately, Shinozuka Yoshio's attention is currently focused on Wusu Airport, and he has no energy to manage these strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway.

Because even if the remaining 8 large strongholds are added together, their importance is far less than that of Wusu Airport.

What's more, the attack on Wusu Airport is completely different from the attack on the outside strongholds.

If Taiyuan is not safe, this will definitely make the front army headquarters and even the base camp seriously doubt his ability.

Of course, Shinozuka Yoshio has no reinforcements to call at the moment, so he can only let those strongholds fend for themselves.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka raised his hand to look at the time and asked, "How is the situation at the airport?"
