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

Chapter 341 Annihilating the Winter Vine Brigade!

Therefore, no matter what, the army must reverse and retreat to Mingjia Town first.

"Yes, division commander!"

Major General Tada Hideki, chief of staff of the 41st Division, nodded bitterly and said, and immediately ordered the various departments to pack up their things and slowly prepare to retreat south to Mingjia Town.

"Master, let's go!"

Afterwards, Tada Hideki said helplessly to Takeshita Taro.

"Walk!!!"

Takeshita Taro also came out of the military account headquarters, climbed up on the small hill in front of him, looked down at the north bank of the Nanliu River, and then gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!"

Major General Tada Hideki said emphatically.

Ten minutes later, Takeshita Taro commanded the 41st Division of the Devils, the 2nd Brigade and other ministries totaling more than [-] troops slowly turned southward along the road and headed for Mingjia Town.

It is impossible for the army of more than 3 devils to retreat south all at once, there must be a sequence.

There are also troops covering the rear.

Moreover, the artillery of the Devil's 41st Division, the 2nd Brigade and other ministries continued to bombard the 303rd Regiment's river defense position on the north bank of the Nanliujiang River in order to cover the southward retreat of the ministries.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The ear-piercing sound of shells whizzed across the sky with the sun rising, and then fell heavily on the river defense position of the 303 regiment on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

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

Dense shells fell and exploded, blasting clouds of dazzling gunpowder smoke and smoke.

Some of the shells also landed in the Nanliu River, exploding water columns that soared into the sky, which looked very spectacular.

On the north bank of the Nanliu River, at the observation port of the 303rd regiment's field bunker headquarters.

When Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu heard that the shelling of the devils suddenly became intensive and violent, they immediately picked up the binoculars and looked south from the observation port.

"Tsk tsk tsk!!"

Xu Rui observed with the binoculars for a while, and then smiled at the Chief of Staff Luo Youdu in amazement: "Chief of Staff, is Taro Takeshita angry?".

"It seems that our nationwide electrification has offended Takeshita Taro! Look, such a fierce artillery attack definitely concentrated all the artillery in Takeshita Taro's hands."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "I heard that twelve 105mm howitzers also participated in the shelling of the devils on the South Bank!"

Luo Youdu nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that too!".

"Could it be that Takeshita Taro wants to cross the Nanliu River by force?"

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Although Takeshita Taro still has 190 iron assault boats in his hand, it's broad daylight now."

"Such a forced crossing, wouldn't it give us a chance to hit the howitzers on Woyupo Mountain with firepower! I don't think Takeshita Taro would be so stupid!"

Luo Youdu nodded, that's true.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"

At this moment, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer, rushed over. After standing at attention and saluting Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, he immediately sent a report: "Reporting regiment, chief of staff, the first squad of the reconnaissance company is calling.".

"Read!"

Xu Rui nodded directly and said to Gu Jiaping.

"Yes, group seat!"

Gu Jiaping immediately reported, "According to the investigation, a large number of devil troops began to appear behind the devil camp, heading south along the highway!"

"Currently, in the camp of the devil army, there are many devil troops going south continuously!"

When Xu Rui heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and then he took the telegram from Gu Jiaping's hand and read it.

The content of the telegram was not much, Xu Rui quickly read it, and then handed it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, and said by the way: "No wonder the devils on the south bank suddenly opened fire, it was not for cover and forced crossing.".

"It's shelling to cover the southward retreat of the army!"

Luo Youdu also read it quickly, and then went back to the table with the map in the bunker headquarters with Xu Rui to look at the map, and immediately said to Xu Rui: "Regiment, if the first team of the reconnaissance company sees the situation That's right, Takeshita Taro led his troops to withdraw to the south."

"Don't hit us anymore?"

Xu Rui looked at the map and pondered, "We must have hit us!".

"But I think, on the one hand, it is possible that the Air Assault Battalion has already captured Prince Xiyuan Gong Chongren, and forced Takeshita Taro to transfer troops to the south. On the other hand, it is okay for Takeshita Taro to continue to station his troops on the south bank of the Nanliu River now. It makes sense!"

Before Luo Youdu could speak, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer, walked over from the radio station.

"Tuan Zuo, the latest radio transmission sent to Takeshita Taro by the headquarters of the Devil's First Army intercepted by my communications soldiers, has been deciphered by Tuan Zuo's deciphering method."

After speaking, Gu Jiaping handed the telegram to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui took it over and looked at it quickly, handed it to Luo Youdu after reading it, and immediately said: "No wonder, Takeshita Taro suddenly ordered his artillery to bombard my river defense position on the north bank with full firepower. home town."

"Then, at least [-] troops will go south to attack Jiujiangpo and Zhenting City, and take back the captured Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace."

Luo Youdu said in a condensed voice: "So, the blocking battle at Jiujiangpo must end as soon as possible, and then Zhu Ming's cavalry battalion, and even Xu Dahu's air assault battalion must be at Jiujiangpo's place with the commander of the new friendly regiment Li Yunlong. Together, the troops will stop the more than 1 devils going south in Jiujiangpo!".

"Perhaps, it is very likely that there are ten or twenty thousand devils!"

Xu Rui looked at the map on the table, nodded and said calmly: "Your analysis is correct, Chief of Staff."

"Taro Takeshita followed Shinozuka Yoshinan's order, and the entire army retreated to Mingjia Town. Next, he left 1 troops in Mingjia Town, and then 2 troops went south to counterattack. It is possible."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "At that time, Li Yunlong and the others will only have about 3000 troops."

"At that time, there will be a huge disparity in the strength of the troops in the direction of Jiujiangpo!"

Luo Youdu said: "We must report this situation to Commander Li Yunlong, as well as Zhu Ming and Xu Dahu, so that they can prepare for blocking operations in Jiujiangpo and even in Zhenting City."

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer standing beside him: "Immediately send a report to Commander Li Yunlong, Zhu Ming, and Xu Dahu, informing the devils that they will send [-] troops to the south to counterattack." .

"Understood, Tuanzao!"

Gu Jiaping said heavily, then turned around and walked away quickly to let the communication soldiers under his command send a report.

And Xu Rui also made a phone call in person afterwards, ordering the howitzers on Woyupo Mountain to fire back and attack the devils on the south bank of the Nanliu River.

However, Takeshita Taro commanded the army of devils to withdraw to the south, and also avoided the counterattack of the 303rd regiment on the north bank, and continued to withdraw to the south.

But the good news is that after receiving the secret telegram sent by Xu Rui, Li Yunlong commanded the second and third battalions in Jiujiangpo, and detoured to the north of Jiujiangpo for more than 500 meters to attack the cavalry of the 303rd regiment behind the infantry brigade. With the cooperation of the battalion, after nine o'clock in the morning, the north and south attacked smoothly, and wiped out the rest of the devil's southward infantry brigade under the command of the third infantry battalion commander Futotaro of the 58th infantry regiment north of Jiujiangpo.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong and the 303rd Regiment's Air Assault Battalion seized the time to clean up the battlefield, and built defensive fortifications and positions on the two hills of Jiujiangpo, waiting for the army of devils who withdrew to Mingjia Town to continue their counterattack southward. .
