I am helping

"Your Excellency, our plane has arrived!"

In the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, a combat staff officer pointed to the sky and said to Amakasu Shigetaro with a happy expression.

However, Amakasu Shigetaro still had a serious expression on his face, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Amakasu Shigetaro didn't know whether the commander on the opposite side was Li Yunlong, but he knew that the opponent was difficult to deal with.

At the beginning, Amakasu Shigetaro was indeed confident, but after the first round of confrontation, the enemy's defense was impeccable, which caused the locust army a lot of losses.

Amakasu Shigetaro felt that his punch hit the nail, not only did not hurt the enemy, but he was bleeding profusely.

Amakasu Shigetaro may be arrogant and conceited to be the commander of a group army of the Japanese army, but his tactical command ability and IQ are definitely not bad.

Is it realistic to think that the Eighth Route Army can be defeated with just a few dozen planes?
What's more, according to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has many anti-aircraft weapons, and these air defense weapons must be deployed by the Eighth Route Army commanders to defend against the air around the artillery positions.

As Amakasu Shigetaro expected.

Ten minutes later, the communications staff reported to him:
"Report to Commander, Your Excellency, fighter planes, reconnaissance planes, and bombers circled over the positions of the Eighth Route Army and around Datong, but no artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were found."

"Captain Kobayashi Xiaozhi, the captain of the 2nd Flying Squadron, asks our troops to continue to attack and intensify the offensive, and draw out the artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army."

"Aviation pilots, prepare for a suicide attack!"

Amakasu Shigetaro's solemn expression couldn't help but change after hearing this.

The key to whether the Mongolian Army can win this battle lies in whether it can destroy the artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, although the infantry of the Eighth Route Army is also very powerful, and the Eighth Route Army has anti-tank rocket launchers.

But the steel torrent of the 3rd Division of the Locust Army Chariot can win this battle.

As long as the garrison in Mongolia can advance to the city of Datong, the siege of the 1st Division will be relieved, and the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment of the [-]st Division will be released.

There are planes in the sky and heavy artillery on the ground. Are you afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army?
It seems that the North China Front Army Command also knew that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower was very strong, and conventional bombing would not be effective, so they switched to suicide attacks.

This also shows that the battle situation in Shanxi is imminent, even rotten, and the First Army has reached the moment of life and death.

Otherwise, Neiji Okamura would not have given the order for a suicide attack. Pilots with rich combat experience are treasures in any country.

Amakasu Shigetaro carefully studied the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Datong City is surrounded by plain terrain, and the Eighth Route Army's defensive position is only five or six kilometers long. Obviously, there is no way to prevent the Japanese army from rounding out from the side.

"The order!"

Amakasu Shigetaro gave the order indifferently:

"Every two infantry brigades and two tank squadrons form an attack detachment, and three attack squadrons attack the enemy in depth from the left, center, and right positions."

"Once encountering enemy tanks or shelling, withdraw immediately!"

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer suddenly bowed his head.

Amakasu Shigetaro wanted to bypass the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions from the left and right wings.

After all, on the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army, a large number of mines modified with explosives were deployed. To attack directly is to court death!

As for the position in the middle, the previous attack detachment, that is, the bait he threw out, had already laid the mines, so it was very safe.

Subsequently.

Amakasu Shigetaro walked quickly behind the telegraph soldier with his command saber in his hand. Several telegraph soldiers and codebreakers who were busy stood up quickly and bowed their heads to salute.

"Miyamura-kun, can you contact the 1st Division headquarters?"

Amakasu Shigetaro looked at the communications staff:

"I want to have a personal conversation with Lieutenant General Mitsuo Nakazawa, head of the 1st Division."

"Report to the commander." The communication staff bowed his head, "It is possible, but the call is easy to be monitored. I suggest sending a telegram to the 1st Division..."

Amakasu Shigetaro looked at the sky, and said in a cold tone, "Connect to Lieutenant General Mitsuo Nakazawa immediately."

Sending a telegram is naturally the safest option, but sending a telegram takes a lot of time.

What is lacking most right now is time. Once the fuel is low, the air force hovering in the sky will have to return to Peiping Airport.

After all, even if it is a suicide attack, the target must be found, right?

As for the Eighth Route Army infantry on the ground, the Japanese pilots could see it.

But they are all suicide attacks, and of course they have to pick high-value targets, such as the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, such as the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi!"

The communications staff officer suddenly bowed his head, and immediately ordered the telegraph operator on the side to call the 1st Division with the receiver and microphone of the telegraph.

Not long after, the radio call of the headquarters of the Mongolian Army was connected with the 1st Division.

Amakasu Shigetaro put the receiver to his ear with one hand, and put the microphone to his mouth with the other: "Moshi Moshi, Moshi Moshi..."

A moment later, Mitsuo Nakazawa from the 1st Division heard a deep voice: "Is it Amakasu-kun?"

"I am the Commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, Amakasu Shigetaro." Amakasu Shigetaro said in a deep voice, "Is it Nakazawa-kun?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa is the commander of the 1st Division, and Shigetaro Amakasu is the commander of the Mongolian Army. The two have met before and met a few times.

However, Sanfu Nakazawa looked down on Amakasu Shigetaro a little bit, although Amakasu Shigetaro was the commander of a Japanese army group.

However, the total strength of the Mongolian Army at its peak was no more than 3, and its overall strength was not as good as that of the 1st Division.

But time is fate, the current 1st Division is not only far weaker than the Mongolian Army, but also needs reinforcements from the Mongolian Army to have a chance to break through.

"It's me!" Sanfu Nakazawa said in a rather anxious tone, "Mr. Amakasu, where is the main force of your army stationed in Mongolia?"

Amakasu Shigetaro said: "We have arrived at Shandi Village and Lijiawan in the north of Datong City."

After a pause, Amakasu Shigetaro looked at the watch in his hand: "The main force of our garrisoned Mongolian army will launch a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in 5 minutes, and the flying team in the sky will cooperate. Your 1st division is welcome to attack." The regiment immediately counterattacked, and we should attack and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."

Mitsuo Nakazawa expressed his opinion immediately, with an excited tone: "Mr. Amakasu, please rest assured that our 1st Division will launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yoshi!" Amakasu Shigetaro said, "After defeating the Eighth Route Army, you and I will catch up on the old days."

After hanging up the call, Amakasu Shigetaro returned to the command position and asked the combat staff: "Are the three attack detachments ready?"

"Report to the commander." The combat staff officer replied, "It's ready."

"Yo Xi!"

"After 5 minutes, the three groups attacked the detachment and launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army at the same time!"

Combat staff officer: "Hi!"

……

at the same time.

In the Eighth Route Army Front Enemy Headquarters, the communications staff officer is reporting to Kong Jie:

"Reporting regiment leader, our telegraph operator, has just monitored the conversation between Commander Amakasu Shigetaro of the Garrison in Mongolia and Commander of the 1st Division Mitsuo Nakazawa."

Now the size of the independent regiment has surpassed that of the full-scale division, so positions such as intelligence staff, combat staff, and communication staff have been established.

"Oh?" Kong Jie's expression changed, "What did the two old devils say?"

In this battle, Kong Jie has a lot of cards in his hand and is quite confident.

Even if the devils dispatched more than 40 planes to reinforce the battle, Kong Jie was still worthy of Amakasu Shigetaro and Nakazawa.

This is an opportunity God gave Kong Jie. In the past, he could only command the troops of one division at most, but now he can command the troops of more than one army.

It's different now. Being able to command more than 4 main force elites to fight is already another level and level.

This is called regimental warfare.

Although it is not a large corps, a small corps is also called a corps, right?

Communications staff officer: "Two old devils are conspiring. The Mongolian army will launch a large-scale attack on our position in 5 minutes. Amakasu Shigetaro asked Nakazawa to counterattack at the same time..."

Kong Jie nodded, the two old devils were still a bit close.

Except for the time of the general attack and the agreed cooperation, no other attack plan was revealed in the radio conversation.

Kong Jie looked at the communication staff officer: "Notify Commander Ding immediately that the 1st Division is about to counterattack, so let him get ready."

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer turned and left, picked up the high-power walkie-talkie, and called Ding Wei.

……

5 minutes later.

Opposite the forward position.

kill to...

More than 6000 devils, under the guidance of nearly 70 tanks, divided into left, middle and right attack formations, presenting a multi-layer skirmish line, and swooped towards the Eighth Route Army's position.

For fear of being covered by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the devil's skirmishers scattered widely.

Behind the devils, a series of mountain guns, mortars and Type [-] infantry guns fired towards the rear of the Eighth Route Army's position.

The devil also knew that there was no one in the Eighth Route Army's position. This time, the devil threw some mountain cannons into the shelling.

and.

The devil observed balloons and reconnaissance planes, and conveyed the location of the Eighth Route Army infantry to the headquarters of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.

"Report to the head, the devils really started to attack."

"The devils attacked in three ways, with nearly 70 tanks and no less than 6000 troops."

In the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the combat staff officer reported to Kong Jie:

"The devil's artillery is firing at our concealed infantry position."

While speaking, the combat staff officer had already marked the devil's attack direction on the map.

Kong Jie narrowed his eyes.

This time, that old devil Amakasu Shigetaro was playing for real.

A tank regiment and a mixed brigade were invested in one attack.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the southeast sky, and Kong Jie quickly raised his binoculars to look.

As time went on, the humming sound grew louder.

Not long after, densely packed super-large transport planes appeared in the field of vision of the telescope.

"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence."

Head Kong Da put down the binoculars and smiled coldly:
"Devils can call for air support, so can we!"

Two days ago, Kong Jie ordered tens of thousands of artillery shells to be buried in the positions, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells were somewhat insufficient.

then.

Kong Jie applied to Li Yunlong for an airdrop of supplies. The airdrop time is set at 1:8 this afternoon, and the number is [-] shells.

"Pass me an order, except for the 203mm howitzer battalion, the artillery positions of the other battalions are ready to launch shelling against the devils and cover me with artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

The communications staff responded loudly. (end of this chapter)
