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

Chapter 149 Prepare for the general attack and wipe out the 4th Brigade (1)!
"what happened?"

Hearing that there was also a problem with the water source, Miyamoto Taro immediately lost his composure.

"Your Excellency, look at both sides of the road, there are tall mountains, and they are very steep."

Ikeda Kenjiro pointed helplessly at the high mountains on both sides of the road, and there were still not many trees, and said bitterly: "This kind of mountain, there are not many water resources at all.".

"Just now the supply unit reported that there was not much water that was brought north with the army, and the water in the military kettles of every soldier of the imperial army was almost exhausted."

Hearing this, Miyamoto Taro said angrily: "Why didn't you report it earlier?".

"Your Excellency, the logistics team reported that they didn't expect that we would be blocked between Yixiantian and Huting stronghold. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late."

Ikeda Kenjiro said helplessly.

"Ba Ge Ya Lu, pull out the squadron leader of the supply squadron and shoot him."

Miyamoto Taro cursed angrily.

"Your Excellency, killing him will not help."

Seeing this, Kenjiro Ikeda shook his head and said: "The water source is a big problem now, so it's okay not to drink water for the time being.".

"Now we break out from both sides of the road. It is impossible to succeed. Under the mountains, such a breakout can only be a dead end."

"But the mountain pass on the south side of Yixiantian is blocked. We may have water problems for at least one or two days. Once the water shortage exceeds two or three days, our soldiers may be exhausted."

The surrounding senior Japanese generals such as Takali Kenichiro and Shigeto Haruo realized the urgency of the water shortage.

"Jiro Inaba!"

Miyamoto Taro thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and then ordered the communication staff officer Inaba Jiro: "Immediately, in my name, send a report to the commander of the Imperial Army transport plane who is in charge of airdropping supplies, asking them to give us priority in airdropping pure water. ".

"Food, grass and ammunition, we can support it for the time being!"

Inaba Jiro, the communications staff officer of the Fourth Brigade, said solemnly: "Yes, Your Excellency General.".

Afterwards, he immediately turned around and left, ordering the communications soldiers under his command to quickly send a report, requesting airdrops of pure water for support.

"The water problem is solved."

Miyamoto Taro said in a concentrated voice: "Now, both sides of the direction of the breakout deny.".

"Then, next, we can only try our best to get through the mountain pass on the south side of Yiyitiantian, and then reach the Xiushuihe Bridge. Or, we can only set up camp on the spot and defend northward. Wait for the 41st Infantry Regiment to reach Jinghai County And after recapturing Jinghai County, go north, and then recapture the Xiushui River Bridge to cross the river, allowing the 41st Infantry Regiment to open up the mountain pass on the south side of the first line."

Ikeda Kenjiro and other devils silently nodded when they heard the words, expressing their approval of this strategy.

What's more, there is only this strategy of sticking to the defense.

Otherwise, if you break through the high mountains on both sides of the road and go to the bare mountains of the high mountains, there will be no water source at that time, even if you drop water by air, can you find the airdropped supplies in the high mountains?

Therefore, stick to the defense in place, wait for the 41st Infantry Regiment to hit the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge, and retake the mountain pass on the south side of Yitiantian. The only way to survive is to open the mountain pass on the south side of Yitiantian.

"That's the way to do it. All the troops of the Heavy Rattan Regiment will gather to build a blocking position 40 kilometers to the north, and carry out defense to the north. The rest of the [-]th Infantry Regiment will retreat to rest and serve as a reserve team."

Miyamoto Taro said to the two captains of the devil alliance, Shigeo Shigeo and Takagi Kenichiro.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Shigeo Shigeo, captain of the 3th Brigade's Shigeto Regiment, and Takali Kenichiro, captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment of the [-]rd Brigade, said in unison.

And Kenichiro Takali was also secretly relieved. After his wing had lost two infantry brigades, Taro Miyamoto finally did not put his troops in the northernmost point for defensive blocking.

Otherwise, Takali Kenichiro would really be angry with Miyamoto Taro.

Afterwards, Taro Miyamoto waved his hand and ordered Shigeo Haruto and other devils to disperse and immediately build a camp, block the position, and prepare to defend northward, waiting for reinforcements from the 41st Infantry Regiment.

Although there were nearly [-] troops in his hand, Taro Miyamoto knew that once Xu Rui decided to attack violently, he would really be passive.

At this time, Xu Rui had already come out of the reinforced concrete bunker in the Huting stronghold, except for the first battalion, Chen Zhenping, who continued to defend the Huting stronghold.

The other two battalions, the fourth battalion, the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion, plus the entire artillery company, totaled more than 2000 people. After the small group of troops slowly chased southward, they did not find the devils in ambush.

Xu Rui immediately commanded more than 2000 horses, and under the cover of artillery fire from the rear of the artillery company, they slowly went south to pursue them.

After chasing to a position about [-] kilometers north of Yixiantian, they met the devil troops who hastily built a blocking position.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

As soon as he came up, Xu Rui directly ordered Wang Dazhu to concentrate artillery fire and bombardment, and the devils who had hastily built a blocking position were crying for their fathers and mothers.

However, the devil's northward blocking position was built very quickly, although it was bombarded indiscriminately by the artillery commanded by Wang Dazhu.

However, it firmly blocked the infantry charge of the 303 regiment and stabilized its position.

"Miyamoto Taro, the old devil, has set up camp! This is to stick to the defense and block our attack."

Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"almost!"

Luo Youdu also observed the shelling situation and the defensive positions of the devils on the opposite side, nodded and said: "But our artillery fire advantage is huge, although there are only more than 2000 infantrymen who came out of Huting and went south to counterattack.".

"But our attack strength is under the blessing of artillery fire, Miyamoto Taro can't stand it."

Xu Rui nodded.

"Report to the regiment, intercepted the radio sent by the devil, it was sent by Miyamoto Taro's military radio station."

At this time, Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer, reported to Xu Ruihui.

"Hahaha, Miyamoto Taro didn't expect that the old devil would worry about the water problem."

After receiving the telegram from Gu Jiaping and reading it, Xu Rui laughed and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"is it?"

Luo Youdu was surprised when he heard this, but after reading the telegram from Xu Rui, he looked at both sides of the road and said, "Tuan Zuo, both sides of the road are mostly rocky mountains, and there is a lack of water.".

"No wonder, Taro Miyamoto is going to send a report requesting the airdrop team to give priority to airdropping pure water."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "If this is the case, we will die of thirst, the brat, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it, Tuan Zuo."

"fine!"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "I won't give the rest of the troops commanded by Miyamoto Taro the time to drink water."

"Let Wang Dazhu concentrate heavy weapons such as thunder cannons, large-caliber artillery, and mortars, and prepare for cluster bombardment. The second battalion, fourth battalion, fifth battalion, and sixth battalion will charge forward along both sides of the road! Next, they must be under the cover of artillery fire. Come on, attack! The camps and positions built by Taro Miyamoto can't stop our coordinated infantry attack at all!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and agreed: "We can't give Miyamoto Taro a chance to breathe. Taking advantage of their airdrop supplies and our current advantage, we can definitely win a big victory if we storm their troops."

"That's right!"

Xu Rui nodded and said, "Five minutes later, the artillery fire is preparing for a large-scale bombardment. The troops of the four battalions are preparing to launch a general attack under the cover of artillery fire! I will not give Miyamoto Taro time to build a camp and stick to the defense."
