Chapter 248 Reinforcement arrives
Just when Miyamoto gathered the team and was about to attack again, the observation post two miles away from Xinwei sent a message, reporting that they had discovered the troops of the New First Army, and they all ran forward with light clothes, and it was estimated that they would be able to catch up in half an hour. arrive.

A staff officer suggested: "Your Majesty, we can't continue to charge, we need to hurry up and return to Xinwei City to garrison!"

The rest of the army commanders also had the same idea. You can't use your emotions in battle. If you fight the advance regiment on the mountain, you will lose both sides, and they will suffer. After all, their main task is to protect Xinwei City.

Miyamoto hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind, because before Tanaka Shinichi left, he told him to eat up the advance group, even if he fought to the death.

At this time, an intelligence officer handed him a secret message he had just received.

This top-secret telegram did not come from Shinichi Tanaka of Lashio, nor Masai Honda of the [-]st Army, but from Lieutenant General Heitaro Kimura, commander of the Burmese Front Army (Mori) at a higher level.

Kimura ordered him not to fight head-on with the Huaxia army, but to preserve his strength as much as possible, and to build fortifications with the new Weicheng, delaying the pace of the new army going south.

In fact, Kimura Heitaro disagreed with Tanaka Shinichi's plan to pull out the thorn.

The Japanese troops in Lashio, Mandalay and other places were already very tense. At this time, they had to deploy troops to fight recklessly with the advance regiment. Wasn't this just looking for shit with lanterns in the hut?

But after the plan was rejected by him, Shinichi Tanaka reported directly to the headquarters through special channels.

Unexpectedly, the base camp agreed to this plan after discussion.

The reason is that many people have suffered from the advance group, and those who hate the advance group are gnashing their teeth, such as Renya Mutaguchi, Shozo Kawabe, Hiroshi Takeuchi, the elder brother of Renzan Takeuchi, and Dushu Tachibana, the patriarch of the Tachibana family.

The assassination plan to lure the encirclement and eliminate the advance group was discussed and voted at the meeting, and according to the wishes of the majority, it was implemented.

Of course Miyamoto didn't know what happened in the base camp, but he knew that the relationship between Tanaka Shinichi and Kimura Heutaro was not very good.

According to Tanaka Shinichi's violent temper, he always acts as if His Majesty the Emperor is first and second, even Hideki Tojo dares to offend, there is nothing he dare not do.

Miyamoto knew in his heart that he could be promoted to Colonel this time, all thanks to Tanaka Shinichi's promotion report for him, and he also knew that Tanaka Shinichi was using him to complete the task of eliminating the advance group.

Now Heitaro Kimura suddenly sent him a telegram, which created the problem of divisional command.

Miyamoto received two different orders.

A staff officer asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we continue the attack, or withdraw to Xinwei?"

"Baga! Don't ask me!"

Miyamoto doesn't know who to listen to now.

The intelligence officer suggested softly: "Your Majesty, according to the principle of obeying whoever is the official, you should carry out the orders of Chief Kimura, otherwise, you will definitely receive the most severe punishment!"

Miyamoto reckoned that the new army was coming soon, looked at the ranks of officers who had already begun to retreat, sighed, and said, "Okay then, retreat to Xinwei City, hurry up and garrison!"

Gao Fei watched the Japanese army gradually retreat into Xinwei, and knew that reinforcements from the New First Army must have arrived.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although the next Japanese attack might not be able to eat up the advance regiment in one go, but if the Japanese army fought to the end, the advance regiment might lose all their money.

The first battalion to arrive was the 38th Regiment of the New 114th Division. The weapons carried by the soldiers were basically rifles, with more than 100 bullets per person and two grenades.

Heavy equipment such as light machine guns and heavy machine guns were not brought because they needed to speed up the march.

Seeing these running reinforcements, Gao Fei was very moved and ordered the troops to line up to meet them.

Half a day later, the large troops in the rear also caught up one after another.

The wounded of the advance regiment were rushed to the field hospital for treatment, while the rest of the soldiers were withdrawn for rest.

Afterwards, Gao Fei came to Guijie in the jeep that came to pick him up.

This was originally the underground command post of the Japanese army. A big hole was blown out of the top of the head. After repairs and reinforcements, it was temporarily transformed into the headquarters of the New First Army.

Concerned about Gao Fei's safety, Sun Liren also arrived with the large army.

Sun Liren looked at the haggard Gao Fei and said, "You and the brothers in the advance team have worked hard!"

A simple sentence is enough to convey a superior's care for his subordinates.

Gao Fei had a sore nose and admitted his mistake: "Mr. Commander, it's all my fault this time! I was so proud and conceited that I wanted to take down Xinwei in one go, but I fell into the enemy's trap, and now the regiment has suffered more than half of the casualties!"

Sun Liren patted him on the shoulder: "I already know the situation, you go back and have a good rest first, don't think too much, and we will leave the attack on Xinwei to us."

"Yes, Military Seat. After I go back, I will definitely review myself and learn from my experience!"

Gao Fei saluted.

Jia Youhui, deputy commander, comforted: "Regimental Commander Liu (Liu Feihu) don't have to blame yourself too much. This is the encirclement plan that the enemy came up with because they were afraid of your advance regiment. It shows that the Japanese army is already terrified of your advance regiment!"

Li Hong, the commander of the new 38th Division beside him, also said: "Your advance regiment is proud of allowing the Japanese army to carry out an encirclement and suppression operation against you!"

Tang Shouzhi, the commander of the New Thirty Division, said: "Commander Wang, the next moment is the hunting time of our army. You can just wait and watch the show with peace of mind. I will avenge the heroes and brothers on the mountain!"

At this time, Sun Liren said solemnly: "The order will go on, all divisions and regiments must gather urgently and get in place quickly. According to the plan, I will take Xinwei within three days!"

As the order was issued, the cannons were quickly transported to the front line by the artillery carts and mules and horses, and quickly settled down after finding a suitable position.

Vehicles loaded with artillery shells also drove continuously along the road, providing sufficient ammunition for these cannons.

After two days of preparation, the main force of the New First Army assembled and began to attack Xinwei City.

The Japanese army put up a fierce resistance at the mountain pass outside the city, but in the face of the fierce artillery fire from the main force of the New First Army, this line of defense could not hold on for even two hours.

The Japanese defenders were basically turned into scum, and the positions were declared to have changed hands.

So far, Xinwei City has been fully displayed in front of the New First Army.

"Everyone on position, ready to shell!"

Under the command of the commander, the gunners of each gun operated the muzzles, and slowly raised the muzzles.

The attacking infantry began to descend to the foot of the mountain and entered the front of the attack. Machine gun positions and mortar positions were quickly built up, ready to cover the infantry's charge.

Krupp led the artillery company and the large troops of the New First Army.

After hearing about the huge casualties of the advance regiment, Krupp told his brothers: "Listen well. When you fire the cannonballs later, don't be afraid to waste the shells. You can fight hard. If the shells are gone, I will ask the regiment I want a seat!"

"Yes!" For the sake of precision, Krupp set up the artillery at a distance of 500 meters from Xinwei.

The sentinel at the door of the bunker saw this scene with binoculars and immediately reported it to the intelligence officer.

The intelligence officer seemed a little panicked, and shouted at Miyamoto: "Commander, the enemy army is about to attack the city, what should we do now?!"

"What are you panicking about? There's nothing to be afraid of! Order the troops to take cover and not shoot without permission!"

Miyamoto grabbed a steel helmet and buckled it on his head, supported the command knife at his waist, and walked towards the door of the headquarters.

After the first school-fired shell fell, Miyamoto heard a burst of whistling sounds. Being familiar with the situation on the battlefield, he immediately felt his scalp tighten and shouted: "Conceal! Conceal!"

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall suddenly panicked, and ran down one after another, into the artillery holes that had been dug out.

The shells began to hit the Japanese defense line like raindrops, and fell on the front, back, left, and right sides of the Japanese city wall, bursting into clusters of flames.

The density of the shells was very high, and some of the shells accurately landed on the positions of the Japanese army, bursting into pieces of flames, and the blown up mud flew all over the sky.

The devils who didn't have time to escape into the anti-blasting hole had their limbs blown up by the shells flying all over the place.

Some were even blown out of the trench by the shock wave caused by the shell explosion.

Waves of air rushed along the trench, rushing Miyamoto, who had just left, back to the headquarters, and fell on his back.

Miyamoto did not expect that the shelling of the New First Army would be so violent. Such shells are obviously not just 75mm mountain cannons.

The power produced by the explosion of this shell is at least a [-]mm heavy artillery!
