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

Chapter 150 Annihilation of the 4th Brigade (2)
"understand!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and immediately walked away to deploy.

Xu Rui raised his binoculars and observed the defensive position hastily built by the devils to the south hundreds of meters away.

"This time, I'm going to stud you to get rid of your little devil."

Xu Rui said with a sneer.

Sure enough, the main force of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which was advancing south from the Huting stronghold, started to prepare for the attack, and the devils noticed it.

The devils who were defending to the north immediately sent someone to report to Taro Miyamoto.

At this time, Taro Miyamoto and Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda placed the headquarters on a mountain on the side of the road outside the mountain pass north of Yixiantian.

Condescending, as a temporary defense command.

Although he withdrew his troops and returned south, Miyamoto Taro was also prepared.

With nearly 303 troops still in hand, Taro Miyamoto felt that even if the main force of the [-]rd Regiment of the Huting stronghold came south to attack, it would be impossible to eat up the rest of his troops in at least four hours, right?

However, the sound of guns rumbling from the north immediately attracted Miyamoto Taro's attention.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat."

The sound of running hurriedly came up from the side of the road, and I saw a devil staff officer rushing over and reported to Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro: "Your Excellency General, Chief of Staff, the main force of the enemy army at Huting stronghold has moved south and is approaching One and a half kilometers north of the mountain pass north of Yixiantian, and then hundreds of meters north.".

"Currently, the enemy army seems to be preparing for an attack. I'm afraid they will attack me violently!"

After a pause, the devil's staff officer continued, "In addition, the soldiers defending the northern frontier observed that the enemy's artillery positions are being built."

"Understood! Order the captain of the Shigeto Harmony, who is defending to the north, to command the rest of his regiment, and stand up for me."

Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "The enemy is frighteningly planning a general attack, so I must resist the first wave. Don't be stingy with ammunition."

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Hearing what Miyamoto Taro said, the face of the devil staff who reported the situation changed drastically, but he still nodded quickly and heavily.

"Go!"

Miyamoto Taro waved his hand and said in a concentrated voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

The devil's staff officer who reported the situation ran away frantically.

After the devil's staff member went down to deliver the order, Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda said solemnly, "Your Excellency, General, Xu Rui is going to attack me."

"Can we stand it?"

Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth, looked to the north, and said: "If you can't stand it, you have to hold it. If you can't stand it, the defense depth at this distance, we were quickly beaten into the inner sky by the opponent.".

"Then send a direct report to the 41st Infantry Regiment so that they can reach Jinghai County as soon as possible."

After a pause, Miyamoto Taro said again: "In addition, send a report to the headquarters, requesting tactical guidance.".

"Right now, the 41st Infantry Regiment may not be able to quench their thirst. We need other reinforcements. Otherwise, I have more than 900 remaining soldiers of the imperial army, and I am afraid that they will fall into the sand."

Hearing this, Ikeda Kenjiro didn't expect that Miyamoto Taro's words might not be able to withstand Xu Rui's confidence in the general attack. After saying all these words, isn't it a dying struggle on the eve of failure?
But now there is no other way, Shinozuka Yoshinan must be asked to find a way to save them.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Ikeda Kenjiro knew that now was the moment of life and death, and it seemed that they still had more than 900 horses in their hands.

However, due to the previous active and gradual withdrawal to the south, it has withdrawn to within a range of [-] kilometers north of Yixiantian.

The defensive depth suddenly weakened, and the enemy commander Xu Rui immediately dispatched the main force in the Huting stronghold to slowly advance southward.

Now, the opponent has built an artillery position and is ready for a general attack.

Once the first wave of defense can't withstand it, then the next battle may be very difficult to fight.

Moreover, their more than 900 imperial troops might not be able to last for an hour.

After all, the opponent's artillery advantage is obvious.

Therefore, I can only ask Yoshino Shinozuka for tactical guidance again.

Soon, Ikeda Kenjiro immediately ordered the communications staff officer Inaba Jiro to immediately send a report to the First Army Headquarters, requesting tactical guidance.

In less than 2 minutes, in the headquarters of the Devil's First Army in Taiyuan City.

Yoshinan Shinozuka, who was following the battle in Jinghai County in the northwest of Shanxi, soon received an urgent report from Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters.

"Miyamoto Taro's situation is not optimistic!"

After reading the latest telegram sent by Miyamoto Taro, Shinozuka Yoshinan handed the telegram to the side of the Chief of Staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi, and said with a gloomy face.

"Commander."

Miyano Michiichi looked at the map after reading the content of the telegram, and said in a concentrated voice: "Jinghai County has fallen.".

"Whether the body under the Fushimi Palace can be recovered now is probably out of the question. With the fall of Jinghai County, Miyamoto Taro's troops have at least completely lost their way back."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi continued, "Now, the enemy is blocking us at a depth of less than two kilometers."

"Xu Rui has already started preparations for a general offensive. What should we do?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the map and asked Miyano Michiichi, "Where is the 41st Infantry Regiment now?".

"Here, Commander."

Miyano Michiichi pointed to a location on the map, and then said in a concentrated voice: "It's still an hour and a half away from Jinghai County.".

"Far water can't quench the near thirst. Even if we enter Jinghai County now, I'm afraid it will take several hours to take back Jinghai County. The raid on the airport, captured the Eighth Route Army Xinyi Regiment's battalion and the Jinsui Army in Jinghai County. The 303rd Regiment Cavalry Battalion is a united force with elite combat capabilities. Otherwise, Jinghai County would not have been captured by the enemy in such a short period of time."

Shinozuka Yoshinan punched the table, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Miyamoto Taro is too careless to underestimate the enemy. Why did only one squadron guard the Xiushui River Bridge?".

"If the Xiushui River Bridge is not lost, they can pass through the sky at any time, withdraw to the south bank of the Xiushui River Bridge, and then return to Jinghai County smoothly, and they will not be so passive now."

Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, it is useless to say these things now.".

"Miyamoto Taro asked for tactical guidance. It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic. The enemy's general attack on Miyamoto Taro may start in a few minutes, and there is not much time left."

Shinozuka Yoshinan heard the words, looked at the map, and then asked Miyano Michiichi: "Miyano-kun, what can you do to help Miyamoto Taro quickly?".

"The 41st Infantry Regiment can't quench its thirst, and it can't be counted on in a short time. Now, we can only strictly order Miyamoto Taro to stand by and wait for help. We send aviation fighters to attack the opponent's main force coming out of Huting stronghold. It's a pity. , There are no paratroopers in our First Army, otherwise we can drop paratroopers to Heyuan County, or behind the Huting stronghold to cut off the enemy's rear, and there may be a glimmer of life."

Miyano Michiichi thought about it, and said bitterly.

"That's impossible, we don't have paratroopers to drop in."

Shinozuka Yoshinan shook his head and said, "If there was one, we would have used it long ago."

"That can only allow fighter jets and bombers to take off in turn to provide air support to Miyamoto Taro, Your Excellency Commander."

Miyano Michiichi said.

"That's it for now!"

Yoshino Shinozuka thought about it, and at present, the one who can give Miyamoto Taro the greatest support is this.

"Yes, Commander!"

Seeing this, Miyano Michiichi immediately sent someone to notify all the fighters and bombers that could be dispatched, and they dispatched in turn to cooperate with the devil troops commanded by Miyamoto Taro from the air to stand by and wait for help.

And soon, Taro Miyamoto, who received a call back from the headquarters of the Devil's First Army, said bitterly to Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro: "The commander's support can only be done in this way."

"Your Excellency, we can only rely on ourselves now."

Ikeda Kenjiro said helplessly, "Even if the fighter planes are dispatched, equipped with aerial bombs, and refueling, it will take time.".

"We're on our own now."

Just as Miyamoto Taro nodded, there were ear-piercing screams.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Harsh screams came densely, and then more than a kilometer to the north of them, dense explosions immediately exploded one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"

The sound of dense explosions immediately attracted the attention of Taro Miyamoto and Kenjiro Ikeda.

"Xu Rui is so quick!"

Miyamoto Taro's complexion changed drastically when he heard the dense explosions.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, General!"

Soon, there was an urgent report from the devil's staff, "The enemy concentrated at least twelve 82mm mortars, six 6mm artillery, three 75-type infantry guns, and at least twenty secret weapons capable of projecting explosive packages. Heavy shelling of our northern defensive positions."

"Master Shigeto Haruo requests artillery support!"

Hearing this, Miyamoto Taro frowned and said: "There is no artillery support, let him use the concentrated mortars to counterattack with artillery fire.".

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

The devil's staff officer who reported the situation ran away in response.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Da da da, da da da!!"

Intensive gunfire continued to come, and Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro aimed their binoculars to the north.

I saw the smoke of the explosion rising into the sky, and Taro Miyamoto and Kenjiro Ikeda, who were on the top of the mountain near the mountain pass road on the north side of Yixiantian, could see clearly.

It's still daytime now, so of course I can see clearly.

"Enemy infantry is attacking soon!"

Miyamoto Taro saw the artillery group of the 303rd regiment extending southward, and said to Chief of Staff Kenjiro Ikeda.

"That's right, Your Excellency the General."

Ikeda Kenjiro said solemnly, "Shigeo Haruhiro commanded his regiment and more than 300 soldiers to block the defense in the north. Can they hold on for at least an hour?"

"I don't know, but let the 40th Infantry Regiment Commander Takali Kenichiro and more than 600 people from the rest of Colonel Takagi Kenichiro prepare me for the second-tier defensive block."

Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth, and said to Ikeda Kenjiro in a concentrated voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Ikeda Kenjiro's heart was shocked. Could it be that Taro Miyamoto felt that the more than 300 troops under the command of Haruo Shigeto could not stop the enemy's attack for an hour?

But Kenjiro Ikeda hurriedly sent someone to order Kenichiro Takali to prepare for the second step of blocking, so as not to be in a hurry.

I just didn't expect that Miyamoto Taro's uneasiness was predicted right.

Xu Rui commanded Wang Dazhu to concentrate all the artillery, including the devil artillery captured in previous battles, mortars, and even grenade launchers, and hand them over to the infantry forward troops who coordinated the infantry attack.

In this move, immediately under the fierce cover of artillery fire, the infantry soldiers of the 2000nd, 303th, [-]th, and [-]th Battalions, which were in charge of assaulting from the two wings, totaling more than [-] and [-]rd regiments, directly killed the devils commanded by Shigeo Harumo, crying for their father and mother.

The fierce battle lasted until 303:[-] in the afternoon. Shigeo Shigeo was shocked to death by an explosive package fired by one of the [-] regiment's flying mine cannons and exploded on the ground at close range.

The rest of the more than 300 4th Brigade Chongteng Wing under his command were all wiped out.

So far, Miyamoto Taro's 4th Brigade was almost wiped out.

"It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to be known as the overlord."

Xu Rui did not order the troops to temporarily stop cleaning the battlefield, but continued to point to the devil's second defensive front and ordered: "The little devil has less than 2000 troops left.".

"While their morale is low, let me continue to attack south!"
