Chapter 111: More than 5,000 people were annihilated

Report to the brigade commander, chief of staff, Matsui Daise's call! At this moment, from the side of the house where Taro Ikemoto was located, a ghost communication soldier hurriedly walked up!

Ikemoto Taro snatched it over, only to see that the telegram was an order from Matsui Ishine asking the independent 7th Mixed Brigade to hold back the new ambush force commanded by Li Yunlong!

"Chief of Staff, look at it! This is the order of Your Excellency the General! ”

Ikemoto Taro frowned, and then handed the telegram in his hand to the chief of staff in front of him, Kyofuku Furufuku.

Guto Jingfu quickly took a look, and soon put down the telegram in his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, Your Excellency's order is for us to be able to hold down Li Yunlong's headquarters, and it is best to entangle Li Yunlong's main ambush force, and wait for the 3rd Division under the command of His Excellency the General to arrive, so as to facilitate the counter-encirclement and eat the main force of the arrogant Li Yunlong's department." It's a bit difficult! ”。

"Of course it's a bit difficult!"

Ikemoto Taro sneered with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Although we are under the command of General Matsui, we ourselves are directly under the command of the Front Army Headquarters. Admiral Matsui asked us to do this, but it was really not ordinary! ”。

Seeing that Chimoto Taro was dissatisfied with Matsui Ishone's order, Furuto Kyofuku still said in a low voice: "But brigade commander, right now we are trapped in Sanshan Town. What to do? Do you continue to force your way through? ”。

"How many casualties do we have now?" Ten minutes had passed since the fierce battle, and it was only then that Taro Ikemoto wanted to know the number of casualties of the Japanese troops under his current command.

Guto Jingfu was silent for a few seconds before he smiled bitterly: "Report to the brigade commander, according to the preliminary statistics of the humble position, our casualties have exceeded three thousand!" At present, there are only about 5,000 people left in our army, and most of the artillery and other parts of the army have been hit by the ambush fire of the new regiment, and most of them have been damaged! ”。

"Baga Ya Road! Damn it! Li Yunlong, you are really ruthless! ”

Ikemoto Taro gritted his teeth and roared, ignoring the other devil staff officers in the temporary brigade headquarters.

The devil staff officers of several brigade and regiment headquarters all complained in their hearts, Li Yunlong was not ruthless enough, did he let go of his life and let his side escape? How is that possible?

Seeing this, Guto Jingfu said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, the bombardment outside is continuous, and it seems that Li Yunlong has enough shells to prepare for ambush. Another half an hour of continuous bombardment, no, only twenty minutes, is enough to blow up all the buildings in the town of Sanshan to rubble. By then, we'll all have to be blown up to the ground. ”。

"It's no longer advisable to stick to the other side's artillery fire! If the main army commanded by General Matsui wants to rush to Sanshan Town, it will definitely encounter an ambush arranged by Li Yunlong in advance along the way! On the mountain roads and highways between Sanshan Town and Laiyuan, as long as Li Yunlong sent people to lay mines, they attacked and blocked them in sections. At least it will not be a problem to be able to hold off Admiral Matsui's army for half an hour! In this way, at least we will not be able to wait for the possibility of General Matsui's main army arriving in Sanshan Town for at least fifty minutes or so! ”

Ikemoto Taro looked at the military map on a table in the temporary headquarters with a solemn look in his eyes, and pointed to it.

"What does the brigade commander mean?" Kyofuku Furuto said.

Ikemoto Taro didn't talk nonsense anymore, "Order the rest of the 125th Infantry Wing, together with the 126th Infantry Wing, to divide my troops and break through to the south." I don't believe it, several ways to break through, can't you break through? Order all the remaining artillery, mortars, grenadiers and other infantry artillery weapons to give me a fierce bombardment and cover the infantry breakthrough! ”

"Haiyi, brigade commander, obey your orders!" Having said all this, I can only rely on myself.

If the main force of Matsui Ishone's 3rd Division wanted to rush to Miyama Town, at least Ikemoto Taro and Kofuku Furuto felt that sticking to Miyama Town could only kill themselves, and they could only continue to force a breakthrough.

Otherwise, just the ambush artillery fire of the new regiment on both sides of Sanshan Town can blow up Sanshan Town.

In addition, most of the buildings in Sanshan Town are made of brick and stone, but many of them are made of wood. With Wang Chengzhu's artillery attack, after it was confirmed that there were no civilians in Sanshan Town, the ambush artillery fire of the new regiment continued to bombard all the buildings in Sanshan Town.

Therefore, even Ikemoto Taro understands that the buildings hiding in the town of Sanshan can only be bombarded by Wang Chengzhu's artillery and suffer heavy casualties. Along with the ruins of the buildings that were blown down, it was also possible to bury many ghost soldiers hiding in the buildings.

There is no way, Ikemoto Taro can only brave the artillery fire of the ambush to forcibly break through, otherwise, the buildings hiding in Sanshan Town will also be buried by the collapsed ruins, which is also a dead end.

At this time, a forced breakthrough may still be able to save part of the troops. Otherwise, if they were stuck in Sanshan Town, they could only be wiped out by the ambush artillery fire, machine guns, and rifle fire of the new regiment.

With the order of Taro Ikemoto, the 125th Infantry Wing and the 126th Infantry Wing of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade under his jurisdiction totaled more than 4,000 Japanese troops, and they were divided into two routes and forcibly broke through from the south of Sanshan Town to the direction of Laiyuan.

"Made, the devil is going to continue to break through. Quick, order Wang Chengzhu, give me a hard bang, block them! Order the cavalry battalion, prepare to copy the bottom, haha, Ikemoto Taro, this idiot, actually continues to break through, this is to use our firepower as a target! ”

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was standing on the hillside of the north side of Sanshan Town, condescendingly observing the battle situation, saw the actions of Ikemoto Taro's department from the telescope, and immediately laughed and ordered the communication soldiers on the side.

"Yes, Captain!" The signal soldier responded with a word, and then picked up the field phone and sent the order to the artillery unit.

Subsequently, in less than ten seconds, dozens of mortars and most of the artillery of the new regiment artillery unit commanded by Wang Chengzhu were transferred to the south of the town, and the shelling and artillery fire suppressed the Japanese army's breakthrough action.

The whistling shells blew up the Japanese troops who were breaking through to the south in two ways.

Especially in this condescending and cloudless situation, all the movements of the Japanese troops below were clearly seen by the ambush units.

Without Li Yunlong's order, Wang Chengzhu had already transferred most of the artillery fire in his hand and fiercely bombarded the devil's breakthrough troops.

At this time, Ikemoto Taro had completely left the temporary headquarters, and together with the chief of staff Kofuku Furuto and other five or six devil staff officers from the brigade headquarters, he followed a Japanese army unit protecting her to follow the breakthrough troops.

Seeing that the breakthrough troops failed to break through, and the road to break out was full of bombed corpses and the corpses of devils all over the field, Ikemoto Taro had a drop of blood in his heart, it was too miserable.

When did his independent 7th Mixed Brigade actually be ambushed and killed by the opponent's insufficient forces, and suffered heavy casualties? But the situation in front of me confirmed that Taro Ikemoto's fantasy was really happening!

"Report to the brigade commander, the 125th Infantry Wing that broke through, the 126th Infantry Wing failed to break through, and suffered more than 2,000 casualties! The two Centaurs have returned! Soon, a devil staff officer who had broken through the front line rushed back to report to Taro Ikemoto.

Kyofuku Furuto was beside Taro Ikemoto and said in horror when he heard this: "Isn't this that we have already suffered more than 5,000 casualties in total?" ”。
