Chapter 54: Encirclement and Reinforcement (Part II)
"Report to the division commander, the front troops were blocked by the Chinese troops, with 41 casualties, in addition to more than a dozen trucks of materials were damaged, and the whereabouts of the other party are unknown!"
On the mountain road not too far from Meiling Town, the commander of the Sakai Division listened to the report of his soldiers and quietly did not speak.
Along the way, he had received several such reports, knowing that the vanguard had encountered strong resistance and that casualties were increasing.
However, the more the other party was like this, Sakai believed that the other party definitely didn't want him to rush to Meiling Town, so he ordered the troops not to stop, and they must speed up to Meiling Town.
"Presumably, the Yanhuang Army must be assembling and mobilizing troops, planning to take advantage of our unstable foothold to counterattack and recapture Meiling Town, so they will try to delay our trip as much as possible." Thinking so, the commander of the Sakai Division secretly felt that the other general's mind was too simple.
This time, his division headquarters had already left the original garrison and rushed to Meiling Town with two wings that had rushed to support, accompanied by a brigade of Li Shouxin's security army, led by Tang Kuo, the commander of the security brigade, who was also a bandit.
Despite repeated resistance, the troops of the commander of the Sakai Division still arrived at Meiling Town the next morning.
At the entrance of Meiling Town, the commander of the Panasonic Brigade had been waiting here in military uniform for a long time, and behind him were some officers of the brigade.
Today's Panasonic Brigade Commander is full of red light, he can see that he is in a good mood, he successfully took Meiling Town, although the casualties are a little bigger, but it is still a greater achievement, and now the imperfect thing is to pursue the two brigades that escaped from the remnants of the Yanhuang Legion, if they also successfully complete the mission and come back, then this is a perfect operation.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, so the commander of the Panasonic Brigade is full of energy, and his military uniform is also very straight, and he stood at the entrance of the town early to wait for the head of the Sakai Division and his party.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the armored car in which the commander of the Sakai Division was riding appeared at the end of the avenue in front of Meiling Town, protected by troops in front of the front and on the left and right, and was heading towards Meiling Town.
"Give me some spirits, the division commander will be here soon." The commander of the Matsushita Brigade shouted to the officers behind him, and the people immediately shook their spirits and looked towards the avenue.
The armored vehicles were rumbling and dusty, the cavalry was clearing the way in front, and the infantry was in sight, and the Japanese soldiers were walking in orderly steps, looking quite impressive.
The armored car drove closer, then stopped in front of Matsushita and the others, and then the door opened, and Sakai stepped down from it and stood in front of them, dressed in a sleek new military uniform, and the golden collar badge on his shoulders glittered in the sun.
"Hello division commander!" All the Japanese officers saluted him together.
Sakai waved at everyone, then said with a smile, "Everyone, you have performed well this time, successfully taking Meiling Town, and making a good start for this sweep of the three eastern provinces, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Sakai Division." As he spoke, he bowed.
Everyone hurried to return the gift!
"However, the Yanhuang Legion has not been wiped out, and the bandit leader Luo Xiao has not been caught again, so you must not relax your carelessness, and you must take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy them." The commander of the Sakai Division said as he looked at the commander of the Matsushita Brigade on the side, "By the way, how many people have been wiped out by the garrison in Meiling Town?" ”
Hearing him ask this, the face of the commander of the Panasonic Brigade was a little embarrassed, because they almost didn't kill or injure many troops of the Yanhuang Legion in this attack on Meiling Town, and they were completely pressed and beaten by others, and later they were able to occupy Meiling Town or they took the initiative to withdraw.
Of course, the commander of the Matsushita Brigade can't say that, otherwise the commander of the Sakai Division would have been furious, and he killed and injured a brigade of troops without killing a few people in the end, which is simply unacceptable.
Thinking of this, the commander of the Panasonic Brigade put his legs together and said respectfully, "Report to the division commander, the brigade has repeatedly attacked, and the Chinese troops have suffered heavy casualties, and then they can't support it and withdraw from the position, and when they leave, they took all the corpses with them, so we can't accurately assess the results." ”
"Oh, since that's the case, forget it, it's a miracle to be able to take Meiling Town." Sakai waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "I originally thought it would take a week to take Meiling Town, but I didn't expect it to be taken so quickly, I believe that the Kwantung Army Headquarters will also be happy to hear this news." ”
People breathed a sigh of relief, and Panasonic put his heart down!
At this time, a Japanese soldier ran over from a distance, holding a telegram in his hand, looking very urgent, and hurriedly handed the document to the commander of the Matsushita Brigade, "Brigade Commander, this is a telegram from Captain Ozaki and Captain Yamaguchi. ”
"Ahh
The commander of the Sakai division saw his abnormality at a glance, so he reached out and grabbed the telegram from his hand, and looked at it at a glance.
After reading it, Sakai's originally sunny face suddenly became gloomy, he turned his head to look at Matsushita, and asked in a deep voice, "Matsushita, what's going on?" ”
Matsushita also understood at this time, and he hurriedly explained, "Division commander, after I occupied Meiling Town, some of the remnants of the Yanhuang Legion fled, so I sent two brigades to chase them, I thought it would be easy to destroy them, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by them." ”
"Go into the city and immediately study how to rescue them." The commander of the Sakai division threw the telegram to Matsushita, and then walked towards the city, followed by a kind of Japanese officer, and all entered the town of Meiling.
On a hill about two or three miles away from the entrance of Meiling Town, there are dense forests everywhere.
Chu Yifei raised his head from behind the sniper scope, let out a long breath, and muttered to himself, "Grandma, Lao Tzu will let you live for two more days, and then I will send you to the West Heaven." ”
Just now, the commander of the Sakai Division did not expect that when he was standing at the gate of the city, a sniper rifle was aimed at him, and the sniper scope never left his vital point, as long as he gently tapped the trigger, what was waiting for him would be blood spattered on the spot.
Chu Yifei was sent by Luo Xiao to support Xu Minghan, and with him came the 36 snipers of the Stinger team, all of whom were equipped with high-strength alloy body armor and alloy bulletproof helmets, and the sniper rifles in their hands were all replaced with fully automatic high-precision sniper rifles with a capacity of 50 rounds, and their combat ability was greatly improved.
This time, their main task was to monitor the devil soldiers in Meiling Town, deliver the information to Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang at any time, and then wait for the order to carry out a special mission.
Therefore, Chu Yifei held a sniper rifle and aimed for a long time, but in the end he did not shoot.
