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

Chapter 293 Shinozuka Yoshinan's Wrath!
"Yes, division commander."

Major General Tada Hideki nodded with a bitter expression, and then waved his hand to signal the communications staff officer, Major Kazuo Tachibana who was standing beside him, to send a report immediately.

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Kazuo Tachibana nodded, ready to turn around and run down the mountain, but was quickly stopped by Taro Takeshita.

"In addition, Tachibana-san, in the report to the headquarters, I requested that the aviation fighter planes be dispatched to support us. Please also report to the headquarters that the aviation strike group led by Matsumoto Kazuo was shot down by the enemy!"

Takeshita Taro said to Major Tachibana Kazuo.

"Yes, division commander!"

Major Tachibana Kazuo nodded solemnly, then ran down the mountain and returned to the military tent headquarters below, ordering the devil's signal soldiers under him to send a report to the devil's first army headquarters.

After Kazuo Tachibana ran down the mountain, Taro Takeshita looked gloomy at the battlefield on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

"Order all ministries to rest in place."

Takeshita Taro said to Tada Hideki in a condensed voice: "Without my order, you must not act without authorization.".

"Now, we can't cross the river, even if we want to fight Xu Rui's troops, we can't fight."

Tada Hideki nodded, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Commander, do you order the rear artillery group to bombard the north bank of the Nanliu River intermittently?".

"It doesn't make any sense!"

Takeshita Taro waved his hand and said: "It's just a waste of shells. The river defense position Xu Rui's troops are on the north bank of the Nanliu River must have built a lot of anti-bomb holes."

"After using 105mm howitzers to bombard artillery positions, the enemy still has infantry coming out of the positions. It shows that the enemy has already dug out a weapon that can withstand the bombardment of 105mm howitzers. Bunker holes. Continuing shelling now is just a waste of shells, and it probably won’t kill the enemy infantry on the river defense positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River.”

Hearing this, Tada Hideki felt that what Takeshita Taro said was also reasonable.

"The head of the division said so."

Tada Hideki just felt helpless, so to speak, according to the headquarters' steamroller tactics, attack all the way north from Mingjia Town.

Without boats, it is impossible to cross the Nanliu River.

Then, I am afraid that this war will really last for ten days and a half months, which is definitely necessary.

"The commander of the division, while we are waiting for the headquarters to adjust the iron assault boat, don't we do anything?"

Tada Hideki said again.

Takeshita Taro did not speak immediately, but picked up the binoculars and observed the 303rd Regiment's river defense position on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

I saw that after killing the 55th Infantry Regiment who successfully landed, the enemy did not send troops to clean up the battlefield.

It shows that Xu Rui's department also knows the power of the howitzers and various artillery on the south bank of the Nanliu River.

But because of this, Takeshita Taro understood that Xu Rui could bear it if he didn't order his infantry to come out to clean up the battlefield.

"It's a crafty, tough opponent."

Taro Takeshita muttered to himself, and then realized that it seemed that the 36 Imperial Army composed of the 41th Division and the [-]st Infantry Regiment fell into Xu Rui's hands, and this person should not be underestimated.

Now, the army he commanded by Takeshita Taro has more than [-] people killed by Xu Rui.

Thinking of this, Taro Takeshita, who came back to his senses, said to Hideki Tada, Chief of Staff: "In this way, before the headquarters dispatches ships to reinforce us, all ministries will send out elite detectives to carry out riverside investigations along the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge."

"Let's see if we can find a place where you can wade across the river without boats, or build a pontoon bridge to sneak across."

Tada Hideki nodded when he heard the words, and said in a concentrated voice: "Now, this is the only way to do it.".

"Um!!!"

Takeshita Taro nodded in response.

There is no way to cross the river, and there are more than 4 troops in Nakong, and they cannot give full play to their superiority in strength!
Therefore, Tada Hideki quickly sent people to order the various departments of the 41st Division, as well as the 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade to send their respective elite scouts to conduct investigations along the upper and lower reaches of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge and along the river to find unnecessary ships. Just can cross the river by wading, or the river section place that can erect pontoon bridge to cross the river.

And at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, in Taiyuan City, in the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

"Bang!!!"

Not surprisingly, Yoshinan Shinozuka slammed the telegram in his hand on the table in front of him, shaking the contents of the latest radio report sent by Taro Takeshita, the head of the 41st Division. A cup of tea was almost spilled.

"Commander calm down!"

Seeing Yoshino Shinozuka take a picture of the latest telegram sent by Taro Takeshita on the table, Major General Miyano Michiichi, the Chief of Staff of the headquarters standing opposite, immediately urged, "Don't hurt yourself!"

"Look, Miyano-kun!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan picked up the telegram that was slapped on the table, handed it to Miyano Michiichi, and said.

"hiss!!!"

After reading the contents of the telegram, Miyano Michiichi also took a deep breath.

"How is it possible? Xu Rui's men actually have 40mm anti-aircraft guns? Where did they get them?"

Michi Miyano said solemnly: "Unexpectedly, the air raid fleet composed of fifty fighters commanded by Kazuo Matsumoto was shot down.".

"It's so shocking! Impossible, impossible! Could it be that Taro Takeshita sent a false battle report?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hands, and said with a gloomy and dignified face, "Although the content of the battle report sent by Takeshita Taro is shocking, it should be true."

"Taro Takeshita, you and I both know that Miyano-kun will not send a false battle report to the headquarters, which is meaningless."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued: "I just didn't expect that Xu Rui actually had a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun in his hand.".

"And we didn't get this information before the war. It means that Xu Rui, who has a 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun in his hand, has strictly covered up the situation. When the air raid fleet is taken down, the 55th Infantry Regiment crossing the river can only The remaining half of the troops successfully landed on the north bank of the Nanliu River, which is also a failure."

Seeing this, Miyano Michiichi knew that Yoshino Shinozuka had shown anger just now.

But on the whole, Takeshita Taro just suffered because he didn't know that the enemy had anti-aircraft guns.

Otherwise, it is possible to cross the river and attack under the cover of powerful artillery firepower and air raid firepower to reach the city of Jinghai County.

Only now, things have happened.

"Commander, Taro Takeshita is now requesting the headquarters to transfer iron-skinned assault boats for support. Otherwise, the remaining more than 1000 horsemen have not crossed the Nanliu River, so Xu Rui's troops will face each other across the river on the north bank of the Nanliu River. Takeshita Taro commanded the imperial army, then I am afraid that this battle will not be able to be fought in the future."

Miyano Michiichi reminded.

"After all, according to the instructions given to Takeshita Taro by the headquarters, they went north along the main road from Mingjia Town to Jinghai County, and used steamroller tactics to storm the north. Now, the Nanliu River Stone Bridge has been blown up. The enemy is fortified along the river, and ships are now indispensable."

When Yoshino Shinozuka heard this, he didn't speak immediately, but put his hands on the table in front of him, looked at the huge military map and sand table placed on the table, and looked at it.

"Forget it, let Takeshita Taro adjust the iron assault boat!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi: "The headquarters can still collect, how many iron assault boats can be transferred to Takeshita Taro?".

"About [-] ships can be mobilized, but it will take some time. And if it is transported from the ground to the Takeshita Taro ship, it may take more time."

Miyano Michiichi said.

"No ground transportation."

After thinking for a while, Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at Mingjia Town, Jinghai County and other places on the map and sand table, and then said to Miyano Michiichi: "Use a transport plane to carry an iron assault boat, and then directly airdrop the boat to Takeshita Taro. department.".

"In this way, the task of airdropping ships can be completed in an hour at most!"

Michi Miyano calculated in his mind, pointed to the map and said: "The airport closest to the front line can quickly mobilize some transport planes to carry out this task.".

"Probably, three hundred iron assault boats can be airdropped to Takeshita Taro!"
