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

Taiyuan City, inside the city, the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

The devil's staff officers who came and went kept marking the battle situation on the main peak of Matou Ridge and the more than [-] surrounding mountains on the huge map.

Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshinan, the commander of the Devil's First Army, and Major General Miyano Michiichi, the chief of staff, stood facing each other, looking at the huge military map.

"Currently, the situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable for Itazon Seishiro."

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the map for a while, and said to the chief of staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi, with a serious expression: "Itazon Seishiro chooses the main peak of Matou Ridge and other steep mountains to defend, of course it is good.".

"However, it also limits its own mobility. Now, if you are passively attacked, sooner or later your troops and ammunition will be consumed by the enemy."

Miyano Michiichi pointed to the map, and said to Shinozuka Yoshinan in a concentrated voice: "But in the current situation, it is already the best strategy for Seishiro Itazon to choose to fight like this."

"Fortunately, Banzon Seishiro still has a large-caliber 105mm howitzer and many 75mm artillery in his hands. The artillery force is still very sufficient. Relying on the mountainous terrain for defense, it should be able to persist until Akatsuka Taro command After the [-] reinforcements arrived at Zhenting City, they jointly launched a counterattack."

Shinozuka Yoshinan felt uneasy, and always felt that things would not be smooth sailing.

Sure enough, before Yoshino Shinozuka continued to speak, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the Communication Department of the headquarters.

Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi heard it at the same time, and their expressions immediately became solemn.

There were hurried footsteps coming from the communication office. Generally speaking, things would not be too good.

Sure enough, it was just as Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi thought.

I saw Major Junyi Kitamura, the communication staff officer of the headquarters, hurrying out from the communications department of the headquarters. This devil hurriedly walked up to Miyano Michiichi and Shinozuka Yoshinan, and reported with a serious expression on his head: "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff, Seishiro Itazono calls urgently."

"telegraph!"

After finishing speaking, Major Kitamura Junyi handed the telegram to Mr. Shinozuka Yoshinan.

"Peng!!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan quickly took the telegram and scanned it, his face suddenly darkened, and then he slammed the telegram on the table, and immediately cursed: "Yakaya, how did itazon Seishiro fight this battle?" .

"Not only was the artillery wing in hand taken away by the anti-artillery, but most of the artillery was also buried. Now, more than 9000 soldiers have been lost. Only less than 8000 troops are left. The loss of troops is too fast. Even if there are more than 9000 pigs, it will take three days and three nights to catch them, and they will not be able to catch them all."

When Miyano Michi saw Shinozuka Yoshinan's angry expression and cursed continuously, he immediately picked up the telegram from the desktop and read it.

After reading it, Miyano Michiichi also had a solemn expression.

"Itazon Seishiro really shouldn't have fought this battle. The artillery of the artillery wing of the 41st Division, especially the large-caliber 105mm howitzer position, should choose a good place to avoid the enemy's counter-battery hit."

Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice: "It's just that it's too late to say these things now."

"Now Seishiro Itazon requests ammunition to be air-dropped, especially some 75, 70 mm caliber artillery and shells. Commander, what should I do?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan said angrily, "What else can I do?".

"You can't just watch Itazon Seishiro run out of ammunition, and Akatsuka Taro's reinforcements have not arrived. At that time, the ammunition has been exhausted, and the reinforcements have not arrived. At that time, Itazon Seishiro will command Are you fighting the enemy with your bare hands?"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan said: "Immediately gather the transport planes that can be mobilized, and air-drop ammunition supplies to Seishiro Itazono.".

"Yes, Commander!"

When Miyano Michi saw this, he knew that Yoshino Shinozuka could not ignore Itazon Seishiro, so he nodded, and then said to the communications staff officer, Major Kitamura Junyi, "According to the commander's intention, send a report to those near Zhentei Castle." At the front-line airport, immediately take off the transport plane and drop the ammunition by air."

"Chief of Staff, the Imperial Army Airport close to Zhenting City can probably gather fifteen transport planes."

Major Kitamura Junyi reminded.

Before Miyano Michi could speak, Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hands and said in a concentrated voice: "There are only fifteen transport planes, first airdrop ammunition to Seishiro Itazono that can last at least one more day, and hold on until the reinforcements arrive. That's it."

"Also, call Itano Seishiro and ask him to defend flexibly, and must persist until the reinforcements arrive. I don't want to see his broken pieces in advance."

Major Kitamura Junyi paused heavily and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Go!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

Major Kitamura Junyi hurriedly left, returned to the communication office of the headquarters, and then ordered the devil's communication soldiers under his command to send reports and pass orders.

After Kitamura Junyi walked away, Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi looked at each other with serious eyes.

Yoshinan Shinozuka, in particular, didn't expect Seishiro Itazono to fight such a bad battle.

Before it was dark, more than 7000 troops retreated to the main peak of Matou Ridge and more than 9000 surrounding mountains. Since the fighting, more than [-] troops have been lost.

There are only less than [-] left, and it is unknown whether they can hold on until the reinforcements arrive.

"Commander, there are only less than eight thousand left, which is the strength of a brigade."

Miyano Michiichi looked at the map, and then said to Shinozuka Yoshinan in a concentrated voice: "Itazon Seishiro, the commander of the Fifth Division, commanded only the 41st Division, the 16th Brigade and other remnants. Less than 8000 people."

"The head of the division has become the head of the brigade."

Shinozuka Yoshinan's face was gloomy, and he said in a concentrated voice: "If the army led by Itazon Seishiro is wiped out this time, it will be the second large-scale loss of the first army outside.".

"No matter what, the remaining troops under the command of Seishiro Itazon cannot be wiped out. The reinforcements must arrive at the town pavilion as soon as possible. As long as Akatsuka Taro's [-] reinforcements arrive at the town pavilion, attack the enemy's back and besiege Banyuan Zheng Shilang's enemy troops had no choice but to give up the siege and retreat north along the road to Mingjia Township."

Miyano Michiichi said bitterly, "I just don't know if Seishiro Itazon can persevere, Commander."

"I hope that when Itazon Seishiro plays the battle of Xinkou, he will hold the current position with an indomitable posture!"

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshinan could only count on Itazon Seishiro to help him a little bit, and said.

"The commander said so."

Miyano Michiichi nodded silently, now he can only look at Sono Seishiro himself.

But, can Itazon Seishiro hold on? (end of this chapter)
