Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 544 Li Yunlong: I accept the big orders from these two brigades!

Following Norihide Abe's order, Takahashi Akimitsu immediately stopped the attack of the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment, turned around and rushed across to the right.

It was none other than Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment and Ding Wei's Independent Regiment who rushed over from all directions.

The attack from the right was the [-]st Battalion of Xinyi Regiment, led by Li Yunlong himself.

Although Li Yunlong often does things regardless of the consequences, he has never been a person who doesn't like to use his brain. On the contrary, there are really few people who are smarter than him in the entire Liangjian.

When he saw the devil suddenly change direction and charged towards him, he could see through the opponent's intention at a glance. Although he was never afraid of fighting the devil head-to-head, but right now I have the advantage, so of course he couldn't foolishly fight the devil .

Immediately stopped the charge of the first battalion, and looked for a suitable position on the spot to build a fire blockade.

"Brothers, fight, don't let these little devils get close, let them taste the taste of shells again!"

Following Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers of the first battalion opened fire one after another, fierce gunshots rang out, and a large rain of dense bullets poured out in an instant.

Caught off guard, the devils of the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment rushed over, screaming and falling down a large area like a knife cutting through wine and vegetables.

At this moment, they were still about 300 meters away from the first battalion of the Xinyi Regiment, which seemed very close, but under the blockade of bullets and bullets, these 300 meters became an insurmountable natural moat for them.

Takahashi Akimitsu launched several waves of charges tentatively. Although he approached another 100 meters, he paid for the casualties of two squadrons.

Moreover, as the distance got closer, the firepower of the new regiment became more and more fierce, and every step forward would cause greater casualties.

In this way, Takahashi Akimitsu could only be forced to stop the charge and start a firepower confrontation with the new regiment.

With pure firepower, even if there are more than 1500 people in the first battalion of the Xinyi Regiment, its strength is not weaker than that of the disabled 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment, but it still does not take advantage of it.

About two or three minutes later, when the two sides were in a panic, the artillery fire of the Second Independent Regiment suddenly extended over.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

Among the scarlet flames rising from the ground one after another, all the little devils were blown out, even their weapons were blown out.

Xinyituan once again took the initiative.

……

The Japanese attack position.

Yamashita also wanted to see what kind of effect Abe Kihide's strategy could achieve, so he didn't mention the breakout.

At this moment, when he saw that the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment had suffered heavy casualties under the coordinated attack of the Eighth Route Army's infantry, but was still unable to handover with the Eighth Route Army's short-handed soldiers, he proposed to break through again.

But he was once again severely rejected by Norihide Abe.

Seeing that Kihide Abe had made up his mind, he seemed to be in a daze, and Yamashita had no choice but to send a telegram to the headquarters of the 1st Army, reporting the situation here in detail, and attached his proposal.

The screen is drawn to Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Sitting indoors, a group of devil officers were waiting for the battle report from the front line. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit scary.

At this moment, Nobunaga Ono, the head of the communications section, rushed in with a translated message.

"Your Excellency, Commander, an urgent call from General Fengwu Yamashita of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade!"

Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly asked, "What did the telegram say? But the Eighth Route Army that attacked Wusu Airport has been wiped out?"

Ono Nobunaga shook his head ugly: "No, it was the 2nd Brigade of the Imperial Army's Independent Mixed Group and the 8th Brigade of the Imperial Army's Infantry who fell into the ambush circle deployed by the other side in advance when they were chasing the Eighth Route Army on the eastern hills. .

The Eighth Route Army dispatched at least one division, 2 people, and the current casualties of the Imperial Army are extremely high.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from pursuing the victory and attacking Taiyuan City, General Fengwu Yamashita proposed to break out of the siege, but was severely rejected by General Kihide Abe.

What General Abe meant was to launch a counter-charge, engage in hand-to-hand stabbing with the Eighth Route Army who besieged them, and use the hand-to-hand stabbing battle that the imperial army is most proud of to destroy the opponent.

But unfortunately, the opponent was extremely cunning and did not give the imperial army a chance to approach at all. They built a powerful blockade of firepower to prevent the imperial army from approaching, and the opponent also had a large-scale artillery, which was constantly attacking the imperial army. shelling.

The current situation of the imperial army is very grim, so General Tomotake Yamashita wants you to provide him with tactical guidance. "

Hearing this, the faces of the devil officers became even more ugly. The atmosphere in the entire war room was as oppressive and gloomy as the mourning hall of the devil emperor.

Ono Nobunaga respectfully handed the translated telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at it expressionlessly, and then passed it on to Chief of Staff Toshi Miyano and Deputy Chief of Staff Junichiro Uehara.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head and asked Yoshio Shinozuka for instructions: "Your Excellency, Commander, if Yamashita-kun's report is true, if they continue to entangle with this Eighth Route Army, there may be a risk that the entire army will be destroyed.

I don't know if you mean to let them break through, or to continue to increase troops? "

Shinozuka Yoshio did not speak, but turned his head and looked in the direction of Wusu Airport through the window.

At this time, Kazuki Yamamoto suddenly volunteered and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am willing to lead a special task force to behead the enemy commander, and assist the Imperial Army's Independent Mixed 2nd Brigade and Independent Mixed 8th Brigade to repel the Eighth Route Army." !"

Shinozuka Yoshio was silent for a moment and said: "Yamamoto-kun, your special agent team going to reinforce may have a miraculous effect, but it is still too difficult to turn the tide of the battle."

"At the moment, we have no soldiers to send. Although the firepower of the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment can cover the battlefield, the problem is that without accurate coordinates, they can't fire at all!
As for the 2nd Brigade of the Aviation Force at Xincheng Airport, they were also unable to take off to fight before dawn. "

"Yamashita-kun is right, if they continue to entangle with this Eighth Route Army, there may be a real risk that the entire army will be destroyed.

I'm not afraid that the Eighth Route Army will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Taiyuan City. The main reason is that in this battle, the Imperial Army has suffered enough losses. The 2nd Independent Brigade and the 8th Brigade must not lose any more. ! "

"Pass my order! Order the independent mixed 2nd brigade, the independent mixed 8th brigade, and the 1st armored vehicle brigade to break through immediately and return to Taiyuan City!"

"In addition, order the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Armored Vehicle Battalion, the 3rd Armored Vehicle Battalion, the 1st Guard Battalion, the 2nd Guard Battalion, and the county security brigade to go out of the city immediately to respond!"

Hearing this, Jun Miyano hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Excellency, you can't, these are almost the last troops in Taiyuan City, if they are all sent out, the city defense of Taiyuan will be in vain.

At that time, if another Chinese army takes the opportunity to attack the city, the situation will be critical! "
