Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 144 Airdrop supplies and reinforcements: The 3st Infantry Regiment of the 41rd Brigade!

Miyamoto Taro's eyes were serious, and a series of unfavorable situations rushed over.

Prince Fushimi was killed on the second floor of the tower of the field airport outside the east gate of Jinghai County, which was not actually his responsibility.

But if Jinghai County falls, then there are still more than 5000 horses under his command, and they will really be blocked in the narrow area between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold, unable to move.

"How is the situation of the Second Infantry Battalion of the Heavy Rattan Regiment that went south to counterattack?"

Miyamoto Taro did not immediately issue a reversal order, and after thinking about it, he asked Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro.

"The mountain pass on the south side of the first line of heaven was raided and captured the Xiushuihe Bridge. The enemy troops divided up and went north, using large-caliber mortars and heavy machine guns to block the mountain pass on the south side of the first line of heaven."

Ikeda Kenjiro said bitterly: "The latest news is that the enemy troops who raided and captured the Xiushui River Bridge directly blasted down the mountain pass on the south side of the line of sky with large-caliber mortars and weapons capable of projecting explosives, completely blocking the bridge. Live on the mountain pass."

"Now, the unit of the Second Infantry Battalion of the Heavy Rattan Regiment, which went south to counterattack, is unable to pass through the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian, and has reached the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge, Your Excellency the General."

Hearing this, Taro Miyamoto and Kenichiro Takali, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, both looked down and felt very bad.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?"

Colonel Takali Kenichiro of the 40th Infantry Regiment is also feeling tricky now. Even if you want to withdraw your troops, you can't go back to the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge through the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian.

Now, he was really stuck between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold.

"Call the air strike fleet of Type [-] land attack aircraft to bomb the Huting stronghold!"

Miyamoto Taro looked at the military map placed on the table of the military account headquarters, then gritted his teeth, and said to the communications staff officer Inaba Jiro: "Let's concentrate our forces and attack the Tiger Pavilion stronghold again.".

"The brigade that went south before the telegram, concentrate the explosives, and see if they can blow up the mountain pass on the south side of the first-line sky. Have them send a message to command over the radio."

Hearing this, the communication staff officer Inaba Jiro paused and said: "Yes, Your Excellency General." He immediately turned back to the radio station and ordered his Devils communication soldiers to quickly separate the Devils counterattack brigade and the Type [-] land attack aircraft group that had gone south. send a report.

Seeing what Miyamoto Taro said, Ikeda Kenjiro immediately said in a concentrated voice: "Your Excellency, what if the Huting stronghold can't be taken?".

"I don't know if we can break through the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian. If we can't break through, since Jinghai County is very likely to fall, we can only temporarily camp between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold, and prepare for a long-term battle."

Miyamoto Taro said helplessly.

"Then you must ask your Excellency Commander for tactical guidance."

Pointing to the map, Kenichiro Takali, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, interjected and suggested: "Your Excellency, if the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian cannot be broken through, we will really be trapped between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold.".

"Now there are more than 5000 people in my army, but the food and ammunition, especially the food and grass, because the supply road in the rear is smooth before, so the food and grass escorted to the north with the army before is actually only half a day."

After a pause, Kenichiro Takali continued to speak in a concentrated voice: "Once the road behind cannot continue to break through, and Jinghai County may soon fall, we really will not have follow-up ground supplies to send up.".

"At that time, the ammunition can be saved, but once the food and grass are exhausted, we will have no food and grass after twelve o'clock tonight at the latest."

"At that time, the soldiers of the imperial army did not die in battle. I am afraid they will starve to death due to lack of food and grass."

Of course Miyamoto Taro understood this truth, so he gritted his teeth and said, "So, it depends on whether the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian can be broken through.".

"If you can't break through, then you can only set up camp and prepare for a protracted war."

Seeing this, Ikeda Kenjiro interjected, "Your Excellency General, let's report our current situation to Your Excellency the Commander!"

"Request, request tactical guidance."

Seeing that Ikeda Kenjiro agreed with Takagi Kenichiro's suggestion just now, Miyamoto Taro thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Then let Inaba Jiro send a report to the headquarters, requesting the commander's tactical guidance.".

"Let's report our current situation and actual difficulties to Your Excellency the Commander! In this way, please ask Your Excellency the Commander to send troops to reinforce us, mainly to reinforce Jinghai County."

Hearing this, Ikeda Kenjiro and Takali Kenichiro glanced at each other, this is another way to solve the current predicament.

Now Jinghai County is also under enemy attack.

Once lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Ikeda Kenjiro nodded, then waved his hand to Inaba Jiro, who kicked at the military account headquarters, and asked him to send a report to the Devil's First Army headquarters.

And Taro Miyamoto said to Kenichiro Takali, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment: "Mr. Takali, the total strength here in front of the Huting stronghold is still more than 4000. Therefore, once the Type 40 land attack aircraft After the aircraft fleet flew over the Huting stronghold and bombed over the enemy's position, the [-]th Infantry Regiment dispatched a brigade to attack the Huting stronghold under the cover of artillery fire from the Type [-] infantry artillery."

"Let's see if we can break through the Huting stronghold and make progress."

Hearing this, Kenichiro Takali, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment who knows the current situation, no longer has the idea of ​​preserving his strength.

"Understood, Your Excellency the General."

Takali Kenichiro paused heavily and stood upright.

"Yoxi, you are worthy of being the hero of the empire."

Miyamoto Taro nodded, knowing that Takali Kenichiro knew the serious situation now.

Soon, Takali Kenichiro immediately left Miyamoto Taro's military account headquarters, returned to his temporary wing headquarters, mobilized the headquarters of the Second Infantry Brigade of the wing, and completed the bombing of the Type [-] land attack aircraft group. , Prepare for an attack under the cover of one's own artillery fire.

At this time, the devil's movements were quickly seen by Xu Rui from the observation port of the reinforced concrete bunker.

"Miyamoto Taro is going to continue to attack the Tiger Pavilion stronghold?"

Xu Rui, who was observing with a telescope, said to Luo Youdu, the chief of staff at the side.

"should be."

Luo Youdu also held up the binoculars to observe outside, and said immediately: "Looking at the actions of the devil, it is probably an infantry brigade's troops forming a battle formation.".

"It's just that they didn't launch an attack immediately. Don't they know that we have sent a clear code to announce that Prince Fushimi Gong Toshihiko was killed by us on the second floor of the tower of the field airport outside the east gate of Jinghai County? At this time , when the back road is cut off, Miyamoto Taro should also withdraw his troops and turn around, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui shook his head and said: "The latest news from Xu Dahu's report is that the mountain pass on the south side of the first line has been fired by Xu Dahu's command of cavalry and Spike Special Forces, using large-caliber mortars and two flying mines. The stones on both sides of the mountain pass on the south side of Yiyitian were blown up and the rocks on both sides of the mountain pass were smashed down, blocking the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian.”

"Xu Dahu telegraphed that unless the devils use a division's explosives, they will not be able to use explosives to blow up a large number of rocks and smash them down to block the mountain pass on the south side of the first line of heaven."

Hearing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu's eyes lit up, and he said, "That is to say, the devils commanded by Miyamoto Taro counterattacked the army, and now we are completely blocked between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold?".

"almost!"

Xu Rui nodded, then smiled and said: "So, we are as stable as Mount Tai now.".

"As long as the Huting stronghold firmly blocks the devil's attack, then it won't be a big problem for us to be trapped and starved to death by the devil's counterattack army commanded by Miyamoto Taro."

Luo Youdu nodded, that's true.

"Report to the group."

At this moment, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, walked up to Xu Rui and Luo Youdu, stood at attention and saluted: "Chief of Staff, we have intercepted the information that Miyamoto Taro sent to the Devil's First Army Headquarters and the Devil's Type [-] Army. Up-to-date radios on the attack fleet.".

"These are the two deciphered telegrams after the interception."

Xu Rui took it, nodded, said, "Yeah!", and looked at it immediately.

The content of the two deciphers is not much, Xu Rui read it quickly, and then handed it to Luo Youdu, the chief of staff, after reading it, and said: "No wonder, the army of the devil's infantry brigade suddenly deployed. This is an infantry attack after the air strike. !”.

"Tuan Zuo, it seems that the initiative on the battlefield is completely in our hands!"

Luo Youdu laughed.

"Yes."

Xu Rui also smiled, and then said to the confidential staff officer on the side: "Command the brothers in each position to pay attention to air defense, the devil's [-]-type land attack aircraft fleet is estimated to arrive at Tiger in [-] minutes. The bombing was carried out over the Ting stronghold."

"Understood, group seat."

The staff officer called by Xu Rui nodded, then turned around and walked to a table with a field phone, picked up the phone and directly communicated to the frontline officers in each position by phone to prepare for the air defense of each department.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Devil's First Army.

Miyamoto Taro's urgent telegram requesting tactical guidance has arrived.

"Miyamoto Taro, what a waste."

Shinozuka Yoshinan saw the report of the Fourth Brigade Commander Miyamoto Taro, and then said to Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the First Army Command, frowning.

"Commander."

Miyano Michichi thought for a while, then bit the bullet and said: "Although Miyamoto Taro didn't specify the specific meaning of requesting tactical guidance, he was nothing more than asking for reinforcements.".

"Especially in Jinghai County, once it falls, Miyamoto Taro, who is on the front line of the Huting stronghold, commanded more than 5000 imperial troops. If we fight tonight, the food and grass will really run out."

Shinozuka Yoshinan heard the words and knew that Miyano Michiichi was right.

Immediately, Shinozuka Yoshinan stared at the map, put his hands on the table, and stared at the map intently and began to ponder.

"There are only more than 500 people left in Jinghai County, and more than 2000 Royal Alliance Army. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army is negligible. Now that they have captured the field airport, the enemy army that killed His Highness has arrived at Jinghai County and is attacking."

Shinozuka Yoshinami said to Miyano Michiichi with solemn eyes: "The mountain pass on the south side of Yiyitian was completely blocked by the stones blown down by the enemy with large-caliber mortars because of Miyamoto Taro. It has been blocked between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold.".

"In a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Jinghai County through the Xiushui River Bridge."

Miyano Michiichi then said: "So, Commander, I suggest that a support army must be sent to reinforce the defenders of Jinghai County.".

"Which one is there that can quickly rush to Jinghai County for reinforcements?"

Yoshino Shinozuka asked directly.

"Your Excellency, here."

Miyano Michiichi pointed to the map, and the devil stationed in the city closest to Jinghai County said, "The 3st Infantry Regiment of the 41rd Brigade can go to Jinghai County for reinforcements within two hours." .

"Then transfer the 41st Infantry Regiment to reinforce Jinghai County."

Shinozuka Yoshinan had no time to be stingy with his troops, so he ordered directly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the counterattack army commanded by Taro Miyamoto lost more than [-] people, and there are still [-] left. However, the ammunition they carried with the army to the north can support the time, but the food and grass can only be consumed until tonight. Once the food and grass are exhausted They will surely starve to death."

Michio Miyano reminded with a solemn look.

"Mobilize the transport planes we can mobilize, and carry a batch of grain and grass to supply Miyamoto Taro by airdrop."

Shinozuka Yoshinan immediately thought of a solution, and said with sharp eyes.

"It's only past twelve o'clock at noon, and there are still seven or eight hours before dark. There is no problem with the airdrop supply operation."

Hearing this, Miyano Michiichi thought it was feasible.

"Commander, I agree."

Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice.

"Then deploy immediately and send a report directly to the defenders in Jinghai County. In the name of the headquarters, strictly order them to stand by and wait for help."

Yoshino Shinozuka waved to Major Junyi Kitamura, the communication staff officer on the side, and said: "Also, send a report to Miyamoto Taro that the headquarters has transferred the 41st Infantry Regiment to reinforce the defenders of Jinghai County.".

"In addition, the airdrop of supplies will be carried out through the transport plane, so that he can temporarily put aside his worries about the supply cutoff, and try his best to take down the Huting stronghold for me. At worst, he must follow the order given to him before and bring the troops back to me. Jinghai County."

Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, secretly remembered what Shinozuka Yoshinan said, and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Go!!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand, signaling Kitamura Junyi to immediately return to the communication room and send reports to the defenders of Jinghai County and Miyamoto Taro respectively.

After Kitamura Junyi walked away, Miyano Michi and Shinozuka Yoshinan said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, it is impossible to destroy the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army this time."

"Yes!"

Looking at the current battle situation, Yoshino Shinozuka said helplessly: "Miyamoto Taro is careless. The Xiushui River Bridge, which is an important supply and transportation point in the rear, actually only sent a squadron of troops to guard the bridge.".

"After such a surprise attack by the enemy army, we immediately fell into a situation where the rear was cut off. Coupled with the current situation in Jinghai County, I am afraid that this time the loss will be great."

Miyano Michiichi said bitterly: "It's actually quite big, Commander."

"There are more than 7000 people in the counterattack, and more than 2000 people have been lost so far. Jinghai County was attacked. When the reinforcements arrived two hours later, it was still unknown whether Jinghai County was still in our hands. The most important thing is The death of His Royal Highness Toshihiko Fushimi has ruined the reputation of my First Army."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi said: "Commander, we have already suffered a great loss this time.".

"Hateful Xu Rui, hateful 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Shinozuka Yoshinan gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what we do next, we must kill Xu Rui and destroy him."

"Your Excellency, we will do it next."

Miyano Michi said in a stern voice.

"Miyano-kun, you are right."

Yoshinan Shinozuka gritted his teeth and nodded, and said.

In the Huting stronghold, the reinforced concrete 303 regiment bunker headquarters.

"Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu!!!"

After sneezing four times in a row, Xu Rui touched his nose, and then muttered, "Made, who's talking about me again?".

"Tuan Zuo, sure enough, it must be a little devil."

Luo Youdu, the chief of staff at the side, has good hearing, and suddenly heard Xu Rui's muttering in a low voice, and then said with a smile, "It's either that old devil Miyamoto Taro, or that old devil Shinozuka Yoshinan."

"Maybe!"

Hearing this, Xu Rui smiled and said.

What to say, what to come.

Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer, came over, raised the three telegrams in his hand, and said with a smile: "Tuan Zuo, I intercepted the transmission from the headquarters of the Devil's First Army and sent it to Miyamoto Taro, the Devil's garrison in Jinghai County, and The radio of the Devil's 3rd Brigade Headquarters."

"Here are three deciphered telegrams."

Seeing this, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu both looked at each other.

Really what is said, there is something to come.

Immediately, Xu Rui nodded, took the three deciphered enemy telegrams from Gu Jiaping, and read them carefully.

After reading it, he handed it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu to read it too.

"Yinan Shinozuka actually increased his troops. He transferred the 3st Infantry Regiment belonging to the 41rd Brigade and rushed to Jinghai County for reinforcements."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, who had read the three telegrams, put away his smile just now, and then said to Xu Rui in a concentrated voice: "Moreover, Shinozuka Yoshinan also mobilized transport planes to airdrop grain and grass to Miyamoto Taro.".

"In this way, we can't spend the food and grass of the devils to make them tired by defending between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold!"

Xu Rui also looked dignified, nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Shinan Yoshinan actually increased his troops again.".

"Moreover, the goal is clear, which is to reinforce the devil defenders in Jinghai County."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu immediately said: "Then we must telegraph Zhu Ming, let him and the more than 1000 elite commanded by the new regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong, work together to capture Jinghai County within an hour."

"Otherwise, they can only withdraw their troops, go north and cross the Xiushui River Bridge, and carry out defensive operations on the north bank of the river."

Hearing this, Xu Rui walked to the table behind where the map was placed, and then looked at the map and pondered.

"It would be a pity to withdraw our troops and give up the attack on Jinghai County."

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "What's more, there are a lot of food and ammunition stored in the city to provide more than 7000 devils, especially ammunition."

"In any case, Jinghai County must be taken, at least the food, grass and ammunition stored by the devils in Jinghai County must be destroyed."

Luo Youdu, Chief of Staff of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army heard the words, and said in a concentrated voice: "Then call Zhu Ming and ask him to cooperate with Commander Li Yunlong to eliminate the enemy defenders in Jinghai County within an hour."

"Gu Jiaping!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer: "Immediately call the cavalry battalion Zhu Ming and ask him to cooperate with Li Yunlong to take down Jinghai County within an hour."

"Send the information that we intercepted the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Devils to Jinghai County and let them know."
