In Meiling Town, the headquarters of the devils is busy!

There are constantly people coming in and out, handing over the latest battle reports to the personnel in the headquarters, and then they carefully analyze the information, summarize some valuable information, and send it to the war room.

In the war room, more than a dozen staff officers were nervously thinking about the pile of information on the table, and from time to time someone would write something on a piece of paper, or stand up and walk to the map.

These people were all staff officers left by the Sakai Division Headquarters, and the chief of staff, Mita, was also left behind, with the purpose of guarding Meiling Town.

Meiling Town is located on the choke point from Rehe to Mukden Province, the terrain is dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Japanese have paid a lot of sacrifices to get here, so Sakai will not give up easily.

For this reason, the Kwantung Army Headquarters approved the application of the commander of the Sakai Division and urgently dispatched two infantry brigades to Meiling Town, so that the defense force here was not emptied by the transfer of Sakai and other troops.

The troops of the two brigades, and they are the elite troops in the Kwantung Army, believe that with the steep terrain of Meiling Town, it will be no problem to hold here.

Moreover, there are already two divisions in Rerehe Province that are ready to go north at any time to come to support, and as long as the Japanese defenders in Meiling Town can hold out for more than 36 hours, then reinforcements will be able to arrive, giving the attacking troops a flank from front to back.

It was precisely because of this that the commander of the Sakai Division dared to boldly lead his troops out of Meiling Town and join the battle besieging those two regiments.

However, will the fortified Meiling Town be able to allow the devils to escape this catastrophe?

While carefully observing in front of the map, Chief of Staff Mita heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, followed by the shout of a staff officer, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the troops sent to the city to rescue General Sakai were strongly blocked by the Yanhuang Army, and a third of them were killed, and now they are blocked two kilometers outside the city. ”

"What?!" Mita was shocked, he suddenly turned around, looked at the staff officer whose face was a little pale, and thought in his heart, how many troops had been drawn by this Yanhuang Legion, and why were there their troops everywhere.

Surrounded by two regiments, and with at least one division outside the city in a fierce battle with General Sakai's troops, there were enough men to hold back the two wings that had been sent.

When did the Yanhuang Legion develop to such a strong strength!

Chief of Staff Mita's mouth was bitter, and he suddenly felt that this time the matter was probably not so simple, was there any conspiracy in it?

Thinking so, Chief of Staff Mita walked quickly to the staff officer and took the information from him.

The intelligence is very simple, which means that the two wings sent out of the city less than two kilometers before they encountered a sudden blockade, and for a time they suffered heavy casualties, so they had no choice but to stop.

From the intelligence, it can be known that the other side is equipped with the most advanced automatic weapons, and they are weapons that they have never heard of, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the Japanese army is not an opponent at all, so it can only turn into a stalemate.

If it weren't for the relatively small number of troops on the other side, I'm afraid that the other side would turn to a counteroffensive and fight against the devils.

It is no wonder that the Ninth Five-Year Improved Automatic Rifle equipped by the First Infantry Division of the Yanhuang Army was all improved and finalized nine times on the basis of the Ninety-Five Automatic Rifle in 2021, and the Ninety-Five Improved Automatic Pistol is a new gun model improved on the basis of the Ninety-Five Automatic Pistol newly researched in 2018 in 2021, these weapons were not born before 2020, how could people in the thirties of the 19th century see it.

Looking at this piece of information that made him hold his breath, Chief of Staff Mita sighed helplessly, he finally experienced what it was like to be pressed and beaten by them at the beginning.

The weapons are inferior to the people, the fighting quality is not as good as the people, and now the factor of unpopularity is added, and the Japanese now feel extremely depressed, but they have nowhere to vent.

"Have you made any contact with Commander Sakai?" After thinking about it, Chief of Staff Mita turned around and asked a signal soldier, because since last night, the Sakai unit has lost contact, and the phone call has not been able to go through until now, and none of the signal soldiers sent out have not returned.

Seeing that the chief of staff asked him, the signal soldier hurriedly stood up and said, "Report to the chief of staff, I have not been contacted, and General Sakai has not had the slightest information so far." ”

"What's the matter, could it be that Sakai-kun lost the battle?" Chief of Staff Mita has a good relationship with Sakai and has a good personal relationship, so he didn't have to worry about it, and said to himself, "It doesn't work, Sakai-kun has a multi-division force there, and he has an advantage, so even if the opponent's forces are too strong, it should be no problem to withdraw." ”

It's a pity that he didn't know that under the devastating shelling of the Yanhuang Army, the poor commander of the Sakai Division had been blown to pieces, and his bones could not be found, and as for the troops he led, no more than 2,000 people were still alive, and the rest of the more than 10,000 people were all killed.

Thinking about it, he couldn't settle down in his heart, Chief of Staff Mita grabbed the gun on the table, turned around and walked outside, he wanted to go to the city to have a look and learn about the situation of the Yanhuang Army.

At the head of the city, it is now full of Japanese soldiers, densely packed with a wing, light and heavy machine guns are all erected, and there are mortars and grenadiers, and on the ruins of a demolished house in the rear, eighteen mountain artillery pieces are quietly parked there, ready to be fired.

With these weapons and troops in their hands, they felt that it should not be a big problem to hold Meiling Town, so although the Japanese soldiers were a little nervous, no one showed a frightened look.

Chief of Staff Mita walked up the rampart along the road, then leaned over to the battlements and looked out.

Because of the topography, Meiling Town looked outside, and could see that it was far away, and Chief of Staff Mita looked at it and found that about two kilometers outside the town, the battle was still going on, and the sound of guns and shouts could be heard here.

After listening intently for a moment, Chief of Staff Mita's brow furrowed more and more, because from the sound of gunfire, he could hear that the Japanese firepower was slowly weakening, while the opponent's firepower could remain stable.

What does this mean, it means that the combat effectiveness of the other side has not decreased much, while Japan's casualties are increasing rapidly, and its strength has been weakened little by little.

It's not okay to go on like this, the commander of the Sakai Division still needs the support of Meiling Town, and the troops can't be stopped here. Chief of Staff Mita thought so in his heart, and then waved over an officer.

After whispering a few words, the officer went down, and in a short time he found two officers, both with the epaulettes of the major general on their shoulders.

These were the brigade commanders of the two brigades that came to support, and they were not under the direct command of Sakai, but they were also to be carried out according to Sakai's battle plan.

Because of this, Mita did not use these two troops when he sent reinforcements, because it was more difficult for him to mobilize them, but now there is no way, if there is no strong troop support, then I am afraid that the other party's resistance will be delayed for a long time, and I am afraid that it will delay the time to rescue the commander of the Sakai Division.

The two brigade commanders walked up to him, raised their hands together and saluted, and then said, "Mita-kun, what is the matter with us?" ”

Chief of Staff Mita smiled all over his face, as if he had a great benefit to give them this time, "I invite the two of you here because I hope that the two of you can make immortal contributions in this battle and become warriors of the empire." ”

Being able to become a brigade commander is naturally not stupid, Mita's words are very tempting, but if you think about it carefully, you find that it may not be so easy, otherwise there is no need for Mita not to send his own troops to go, but the two brigade commanders do want to participate in the battle,

Seeing Chief of Staff Mita say this, the two brigade commanders glanced at each other and understood what they meant by each other. The taller brigade commander Ono nodded, and said with a smile, "Mita, you are right, now is the time to establish meritorious service for the empire, and we will definitely sacrifice our lives to achieve victory." ”

"However, our soldiers are a little lacking now, so I wonder if Mita-kun will find a way to help us solve it?" The shorter one is called Ming Daoyi, this kid has a fancy belly, and at this time he squinted his small eyes and smiled.

This is ripping off the bamboo, Chief of Staff Mita immediately understood what they meant, and couldn't help but bump into the fire, but after looking at the fierce battle outside the city that had not stopped, he had to suppress the anger that surged up in his heart, and continued to smile, "This is easy to say, I'll solve it immediately." ”

As he spoke, he turned and shouted into the distance, "Someone." ”

An officer hurriedly ran over and stood respectfully in front of Chief of Staff Mita, "Chief of Staff, what do you command?" ”

"Go to the warehouses and allocate 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the 91st Brigade and the 472nd Brigade respectively, two thousand grenades, plus a hundred boxes of artillery shells."

"This-" The officer stood still and didn't move, these were all accumulated by their division, could it be that he just gave people away, so he stood there, looking at Mita suspiciously.

"What are you still doing, go quickly." Sandian was in a bad mood, but when he saw this officer standing still stupidly, he suddenly became angry and slapped him, "Baga, why are you still standing here?" ”

After a big mouth, the officer came to his senses, and hurriedly turned around and ran away, probably going to the warehouse.

The two brigade commanders waved their hands, and the two officers who followed them also followed, nominally to accompany them, but in fact to see if Mita really talked and counted.

Watching a few people walk off the road and walk in the direction of the warehouse, Mita couldn't help but despise these two guys in his heart, they were too dirty, and they were very shameless.

But there is no way now, who told him to ask for help, so he can only swallow his anger for the time being and rescue the head of the Sakai Division.

A few people didn't have time to get it, and they came back, and the officers who went with them had satisfied smiles on their faces, and it seemed that things had satisfied them, and after they came back, they came to the two brigade commanders and whispered in their ears for a long time, and the faces of the two people also showed smiles.

"Mita-kun, you are really a trustworthy person, and we naturally count our words." Ono smiled and nodded at Mita, then waved his hand and shouted, "The first and second wings will set off immediately and rush to the battle area to assist the commander of the Sakai Division in destroying the enemy." At the same time, Ming Daoyi also gave an order.
