Chapter 174 Total Annihilation··Nearly Ten Thousand!
"Failed?"

"Two regiments of infantry surrounded?"

"A 60 mortar with a range of more than three kilometers?"

"Lots of anti-tank guns."

Beiping, because of the haste of the incident and the fast pace of the independent regiment's attack, it was a set of long-planned combo punches. The Hattori brigade was unable to distinguish the direction for a while, so that Naozaburo Okabe was blocked until the entrance of the road. Just got the news.

Naotomi Hattori did not come to rescue during the period.

Because he knew that it was useless to ask for help at that time.

Also know that with the failure of this offense, he will retire forever.

It makes people feel, somewhat, disheartened and depressed after being beaten.

"It really is a conspiracy."

For some reason, Naozaburo Okabe wasn't too surprised when he heard the news of this disastrous defeat. Instead, he felt normal and even breathed a sigh of relief.

"Order the Hattori brigade to immediately rescue the surrounded infantry wing, and then retreat."

Okabe Naozaburo quickly ordered.

In this offensive operation, the locust army has crushed nearly 4000 people. If these two wings are wiped out, that is,
Nearly ten thousand jade pieces!

If you count the attacked convoy, it would be directly over ten thousand.

Although the strength of the locust army can bear the loss of this figure, with the further normalization of business with the United States, domestic materials and the economy have improved, and the speed of military expansion has also accelerated.

The loss of a mere brigade can be afforded by the strength of the Locust Army.

But the face of the locust army is unacceptable, and the face of the empire is even more unacceptable.

Nearly [-] people were wiped out by Tuba Road?
What a shame!
The response from Frontline was quick.

"General Hattori called back. The Eighth Route Army has completed the encirclement of the locust army. Due to the loss of the artillery wing, the Hattori brigade has no offensive capability for the time being and requests to retreat."

The staff recounted Naotomi Hattori's telegram.

"idiot."

Okabe Naozaburo, who was angry at the fiasco, was furious immediately, and ordered again:

"Order Naoto Hattori to immediately rescue the surrounded troops."

If in his hands, the North China Front Army lost nearly [-] soldiers, and it was still in the battle to attack the Tuba Road base area, then he, the North China Front Army, would not want to sit for a long time.

Although he felt troubled, his hair was about to fall out, and he regretted it from time to time, but Naoto Hattori did not give up the idea of ​​​​the commander of the North China Front Army after he tasted the benefits of power.

Naozaburo Okabe is fascinated by the feeling of integrating economic and military powers into one body.

This is also the reason why he continued to advance the attack on Yangcun even though he had a premonition that something was wrong.

He needs this victory.

At this time, he also needed troops to rescue the more than 6000 surrounded locusts.

"General."

The staff quickly repeated Naotomi Hattori's reply:
"The Hattori army replied that the artillery of the Hattori brigade has suffered serious losses. The soldiers are exhausted and their morale is low. If they continue to attack, not only will they not be able to rescue the surrounded troops, but they will also increase casualties."

Naotomi Hattori obviously knew the core purpose of the high-level ordering him to continue the rescue.

"So, General Hattori made it clear in his telegram that he refused to carry out the rescue order."

The staff officer suddenly said again.

"Refused to carry out the rescue order?"

Okabe Naozaburo was stunned for a moment when he was originally furious, and then he showed a slight smile.

There are nearly ten thousand pieces of jade.

The Hattori brigade that participated in the attack on Yangcun lost more than half of it, and lost a lot of heavy equipment.

As a result, the impact is very bad.

He, the commander of the front army, will also be implicated. If the situation in North China is still so corrupt, he may be dismissed, but when the telegram of refusing to accept the order came out, he found a turning point.

As long as the main responsibility is not him, there is room for maneuver.

"Order."

But he still gave the order:

"After the Hattori brigade rescued the besieged troops, they retreated to Yangquan. I will send the Air Force of the Front Army to fully support them."

"Hi!"

Although the staff officer was puzzled, he still carried out the order.

The chief of staff of the front army next to him remained silent.

The situation on the front line must have been doomed. The Hattori brigade did not have the strength to rescue the besieged troops, nor did the North China Front Army. When the reinforcements arrived, the enemy might have wiped out the besieged troops.

Lack of supplies, facing the siege of Tuba Road with superior troops and firepower, the surrounded troops could not last long.

Naozaburo Okabe is doing this now, just to give the base camp an attitude.

See, it's not that I don't help, but that my subordinates are not strong enough.

It's throwing the pot away!

"strangeness··"

But the chief of staff had doubts in his heart.

Why, Naoto Hattori would send such a telegram, directly expressly refusing to execute the rescue order.

···
"General, why?"

In the retreating Hattori brigade, a staff officer also asked the same doubt:

"Why do you expressly refuse to rescue the besieged troops?"

"this is not···"

"why?"

Looking at the old staff officer who had been with him for a long time, Naotomi Hattori did not answer immediately.

Why did you send such a telegram that pushed yourself into the fire pit?
In order to send a favor to General Gangbu, he sent a telegram to take most of the responsibility for the failure of this battle.

Anyway, he is destined to be retired, unless the base camp and the locust are willing to keep him, otherwise he will be in the reserve for the rest of his life.With his telegram, General Gangbu can avoid the punishment of this failure.

With this favor, he can save a lot of trouble.

On the surface, General Gangbu will definitely scold him and turn against him, but in private, he will definitely take care of him and give him convenience so that he can go to the reserve to retire safely.

and··
"I want to go back home!"

Naotomi Hattori said suddenly.

"Go home?"

The staff officer was taken aback.

"Well, go home!"

Naotomi Hattori sighed.

He remembered the last moment of the retreat, that is, when Tuba Road captured the commanding heights on both wings of the Yangcun Highway entrance and cut off the retreat route of his two attacking units.

At that time, the Tuba Road offensive force of more than 1000 people continued to pursue the headquarters of his brigade after taking two high grounds.

Although he did not catch up, the use of new mortars with a range of more than three kilometers caused him many casualties.

At that time, he saw clearly the appearance of the enemy's mortar.

Judging from the height ratio, the new mortar is only a little over one meter long, and one person can hold the assembled mortar and maneuver at high speed. It can be known that, with the base plate and bracket, the weight is about [-] kilograms.

It is impossible to exceed 25 kg at most.

Obviously, their speculation was wrong.

The 60mm mortar with a range of three kilometers, no, it is a mortar with a range of more than three kilometers, not by lengthening the barrel and increasing the charge, but by relying on advanced technology that the empire does not understand.

The technical level of the enemy is far more advanced than that of the locust army.

In the case of changing the weight and volume, the range of the mortar is directly doubled.

"I don't know what weapons and equipment the enemy will come up with in the future?"

Naotomi Hattori thought subconsciously, but quickly put aside his thoughts.

No matter what advanced weapons and equipment the enemy will bring out in the future, it has nothing to do with him. He is just a retired army major general who is in charge of recruit training at home.

···
Although Naozaburo Okabe sent dozens of planes directly under the North China Front Army to support them, this amount of air power obviously couldn't control the situation of the battle, and even had little impact.

The Yangcun annihilation battle was successfully completed.

After annihilating the last group of remnants of the enemy, the independent regiment sent a report to the headquarters as soon as possible.

"Won!"

Headquarters, after receiving the telegram, the chief of staff, the boss, and the division commander and brigade commander all celebrated.

"let's start."

After laughing for a long time, the boss said:

"Withdraw all battalions supporting the Independence Regiment, and then redistribute equipment and ammunition."

"It's time for us to start the next step."

"By the way, continue to support the expansion of the independent regiment's enrollment, and the work of the main regiments taking turns going to Yangcun to participate in training cannot be relaxed."

The brigade commander immediately restrained his smile and looked at the boss.

The next step is to feint attack Taiyuan, attract the attention of the devils, postpone the schedule of the devils' sweep, give the base area more time, and then take the opportunity to take down the Fen/He Plain.

The bases are all mountainous,
And the army needs a piece of fertile and flat land for development.

"it is good."

The deputy chief of staff immediately began to arrange.

"and also."

The boss continued:
"Send the news of victory to the whole country."

···
"Actually won."

In the public announcement, Chu Yunfei, who had a radio station, immediately learned the news of Yangcun's victory.

"Annihilated nearly ten thousand devils, and also destroyed four tanks and six armored vehicles, this..."

Fang Ligong subconsciously didn't believe it.

That was a reloaded mixed brigade.

There are a large number of heavy artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, and aircraft to support operations.

The combat capability is comparable to a second-line division of the Devils.

Facing such an attacking force, even at the peak of their Jinsui Army, they needed about three times as many troops, and they could only be blocked by a position established with the help of a favorable location, and they would have to pay heavy casualties.

As for defeat, heavy damage, unless the supply road is cut off, it is absolutely impossible.

"Since you dare to make a public announcement and take photos and publish them in newspapers, there is a high probability that it is true."

Chu Yunfei said:
"At most, we can make a fuss about the number of casualties, but not too many."

"how is this possible···"

Even with the affirmation of his own group, Fang Ligong still couldn't believe it.

Nearly ten thousand annihilated!
