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

Chapter 401 Type 97 Medium Tank

"Your Excellency General, Division Commander, the enemy 303rd Regiment has responded to us. This is the deciphered telegram!"

After receiving the deciphered telegram, the communications staff officer of the 41st Division, Major Kazuo Tachibana, took the telegram and walked quickly to Seishiro Itazono and Taro Takeshita, stood at attention and then reported.

"Um!!!"

Seishiro Itazono and Taro Takeshita nodded at the same time.

Afterwards, Itabazon Seishiro received the telegram from Major Kazuo Tachibana and read it.

It's just that after reading it, Seishiro Itazono's expression was indeed very gloomy in the eyes of Taro Takeshita opposite.

"Banyuan-kun?"

Seeing Seishiro Itazono's gloomy face, Taro Takeshita tried to ask.

"Takeshita-kun, look at Xu Rui's response!"

After finishing speaking, Seishiro Itazon handed the telegram to Taro Takeshita, his tone already a little angry.

Seeing this, Takeshita Taro took the telegram and read it quickly.

Sure enough, after reading the contents of the telegram, Takeshita Taro also had a gloomy face.

"Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with one hand. If one of the 80 oceans we gave is fake, then His Highness Chongren of Xiyuan Palace will not be a complete prince back."

Takeshita Taro said with a gloomy face: "Xu Rui's words are already a warning and threat to us.".

"Why isn't a complete prince coming back? Are they going to attack His Highness? How to say, His Highness is now captured by them. According to the rules of the battlefield, they should treat prisoners preferentially and cannot take prisoners!!!"

Itabazon Seishiro knew the virtues of his own soldiers, and it was hard to say that Xu Rui would treat Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace well after he was captured.

Therefore, seeing Xu Rui's response, Itabazon Seishiro knew that the other party had manipulated himself a bit.

If he dared to play tricks, then His Royal Highness who was captured would be in trouble.

"The Xiyuan Palace is in the hands of the opponent, and we have no way to threaten the opponent."

Itabazon Seishiro frowned and said: "Now, we can only follow the other party's request, and even a piece of ocean can't be fake.".

"Hey!!!"

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro sighed helplessly.

In fact, Taro Takeshita thought he had exchanged half of the 80 oceans airlifted in by the headquarters for fake oceans, and secretly swallowed half of the oceans himself.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui came to this move, which made Takeshita Taro's thoughts go out immediately.

Once an accident occurs at the exchange site, it will be difficult for Takeshita Taro to shirk responsibility.

"Pity."

Takeshita Taro said helplessly in his heart.

"Then Mr. Banyuan, us?"

Takeshita Taro then came back to his senses and asked Itazon Seishiro.

"After the 80 yuan airlift arrived in Zhenting City, people were sent to strictly guard it. Without my order, no one else is allowed to approach without authorization."

Itabazon Seishiro gave the order.

"Yes, Banyuan-kun, I will deploy."

Takeshita Taro nodded and said.

"Ok!"

Itabazon Seishiro nodded, and then said: "After returning to Xiyuan Palace, our attack on Xu Rui and other enemy troops will be temporarily suspended.".

"The enemy has taken control of Mingjia Town, and Mingjia Town is heavily defended by the enemy. Although we have twelve 105mm caliber howitzers in our hands, it is difficult to capture Mingjia Town without assault weapons."

Seeing Banzon Seishiro talking about this situation, Takeshita Taro said solemnly: "We only have more than 300 imperial soldiers left. In terms of strength, the advantage is already small compared to the enemy army.".

"At present, it has been determined that the enemy troops we are fighting against include the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment, as well as the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army in the Jiangjunling area. The total strength of these enemy troops Added up, it is estimated that there are 3 to [-] people."

After a pause, Taro Takeshita said again, "Mr. Banyuan, I'm afraid we need to ask the headquarters to send troops to support us."

"No need!!!"

What I didn't expect was that Banzon Seishiro pointed to the map and said: "At present, the only road to attack these enemy troops is unimpeded, but when we reach Mingjia Town, we will encounter heavy enemy forces.".

"The terrain of Mingjia Town is long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We detour from both sides of the road. Now that I personally commanded a northward detour and surprise attack in the early morning and failed, Xu Rui and other enemy commanders have already paid attention to the threat from the flank. We The enemy cannot be threatened from the flank, but can only attack northward along this road."

"However, although it is possible to go all the way to Mingjia Town unimpeded along this highway, even with the artillery force of the twelve 105mm howitzers and many 75mm mountain guns and field guns of the Artillery Regiment of the Takeshita Junshi Regiment, However, it is still impossible to quickly take down Mingjia Town, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Seeing this, Takeshita Taro said, "Mr. Banyuan means that you don't want military support, but other support?".

"Correct!"

Banzon Seishiro pointed to the map, and said in a concentrated voice: "Mingjia Town has a long and narrow terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack.".

"Although heavy artillery firepower is covered, it is difficult to break through the enemy's fortifications in Mingjia Town without a fast assault force. Therefore, we still have more than 2 people, which is enough. The support requested from the headquarters is preferably Weapons and equipment capable of covering infantry charges."

Hearing this, Takeshita Taro probably guessed what Itazon Seishiro wanted.

"Itata-kun, what we need are tanks."

Takeshita Taro guessed.

"Soga!"

Itabazon Seishiro nodded, and Takeshita Taro was not stupid, so he said: "What I need is a tank that can cover the infantry's rapid attack, and it is the best tank in the empire at present.".

"Light tanks are not enough. At present, the headquarters can provide us with medium tanks."

Takeshita Taro thought for a while and said, "Then there are only Type 97 medium tanks."

"The Imperial Type 97 medium-sized tank weighs 15 tons and is equipped with a 57mm short-barreled artillery. It is the most suitable for assaulting and covering imperial soldiers for assault and onslaught."

"Currently, according to reliable information, Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment doesn't have a single tank in hand."

Itabazon Seishiro nodded and said: "So, after returning to Your Highness, we will rest in the Zhenting City area for a whole day, and wait for the headquarters to bring four or five Type 97 medium tanks. The artillery fire is suppressed, and when the time comes, the tanks will charge to attack Mingjia Town, cover the infantry to follow the attack, and take down Mingjia Town, then it will be very easy."

"Our current artillery force is not much different from that of Xu Rui's. I don't believe it. Can Xu Rui's army withstand the assault of the Royal Army's Type 97 medium tank?"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, and it should be impossible.

After all, the Type 97 medium tank is currently the better tank among the Imperial Army tanks.

"It's just Mr. Banyuan, will the headquarters agree to give us tank support?"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, then asked calmly.
