Yuichiro Yamazaki said with a miserable expression: "Shi Hu Hirofumi commanded the reserve of the 21st Infantry Wing and the brigade commander to transfer to the 21st Infantry Wing, totaling more than 5,000 imperial troops, to storm Maojiasoo Town, but the soldiers of the independent brigade guarding Maojiasoo Town are strong in combat and have very appropriate firepower. Occupy a defensive position and block the onslaught of our imperial army! The divisions were not very good at night fighting, and in the case of the independent brigade being good at night fighting, our superiority in forces was mostly neutralized. Now, Shi Hu Bowen urgently reported that Maojiasoo Town could not be taken within half an hour. Please forgive the brigade commander! ”。

"Eight grid tooth road, waste! Whether Shi Hu Bowen can command or not, whether he can command or not. The reserve troops directly under the brigade have been transferred, and now, are you still thinking about asking me for reinforcement? Hearing this, Fujii Kamiya roared angrily!

Yuichiro Yamazaki smiled bitterly and said, "Brigade commander, the matter has come to this, what should I do?" The Independent Brigade was ready for an ambush, and although Maojiasoo Town was a small town, there were many buildings, and it was easy to block us for an hour by relying on strong houses to build fortifications. ”。

"Now it's not a question of whether you can withdraw, it's not possible to retreat at all!"

Looking around, the sound of gunfire kept coming, and the flames of the explosion flashed from time to time, shining on Fujii Kamiya's sad face.

The old devil Fujii Kamiya gritted his teeth and said: "The pontoon bridge on the Kouquan River and the repaired railway bridge are no longer usable, and there is still a raided independent brigade on the south bank to guard the south bank. Even if we wanted to swim across the river and cross the south bank of the Kouquan River, it would be impossible. Only by going all out to the north can there be a chance. ”。

"Ordered Shi Hu Bowen to continue to attack Maojiasoap Town, and Maojiasoap Town must be taken!"

Seeing this, Yuichiro Yamazaki could only stiffen his head and say, "Hai, brigade commander." ”。

It's just that Yuichiro Yamazaki didn't walk away immediately, but just said in a low voice: "Brigade commander, our unit was ambushed and surrounded by the Independent Brigade. The situation is in danger, whether to send a report to the military department, a request, a request .......! ”。

"Yamazaki-kun, do you want to ask for support from the military department?" Fujii Kamiya smiled a little helplessly.

Yuichiro Yamazaki nodded, although this is a bit difficult to say, but looking at the current situation, the independent brigade is ready for an ambush, and its firepower is very fierce. I am afraid that before dawn, the more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade will probably be annihilated in the ambush at night. Or, it is possible to be completely annihilated.

However, with more than half of the battle losses at this time, it may be a little difficult for the remaining troops to block the encirclement and annihilation of the independent brigade.

At this time, he couldn't care about his face, and sent a report to the military headquarters of the First Army, at least if he was completely wiped out by the independent brigade, Miyano Taro would know it for the first time!

Fujii Kamiya thought for a while, was silent for a while, and then said, "Forget it, I, Fujii Kamiya, went north to recapture Datong." Unexpectedly, we are reinforcements, and now we are about to be annihilated by the independent brigade, but it is possible to ask the military department for support. It's really impermanent, forget it, send a report to General Miyano of the military headquarters and ask for tactical guidance! ”。

"Hai, brigade commander!" Yuichiro Yamazaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the meaning of tactical guidance is similar to that of requesting support.

However, when Yuichiro Yamazaki was about to step aside to deploy and send a report, Fujii Kamiya stopped Yuichiro Yamazaki and ordered in a low voice: "Yamazaki-kun, send a report to the military headquarters, and you will say that our department is besieged by at least 15,000 people of the Independent Brigade. Except for the troops of the independent brigade headquarters this attack, the rest may be the nearby guerrillas who gathered to set up an ambush! ”。

"Humble duty understands! Brigade Commander! Yuichiro Yamazaki was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he also knew what Fujii Kamiya meant.

After all, if half of the men and horses were killed by less than 10,000 people in an ambush by the Independent Brigade, at least the face of the 77th Brigade would be lost!

However, this is a helpless thing, Fujii Kamiya waved his hand with a wry smile and signaled Yuichiro Yamazaki to send the report.

At this time, the headquarters of the 21st Infantry Wing of the 77th Brigade that stormed Maojiasoo Town had already suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom, boom!!!"

"Dada!!!"

.............

After receiving 1,000 troops from Li Yunlong to reinforce Maojiasoo Town, the defensive front of the independent brigade of Maojiasoo Town, which was a little dangerous, suddenly stabilized its position.

As for itself, the firepower of the headquarters of the third regiment was enough to hold back five or six times the onslaught of the Japanese army when there were fortifications.

After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, Shi Hu Bowen, who had received reinforcements, was already pale at this time.

"Captain, you can't get in! The defenders of the Independent Brigade in Maojiasoo Town are really powerful, and their firepower is tricky. Under the night battle, our Imperial soldiers could hardly get in! Now, the casualties are too great. More than half of the 3,000 men and horses allocated to us by the brigade commander have now suffered casualties, and the casualties of our own wing are less than 2,000! The chief of staff of the 21st Infantry Wing, Taho Shosaburo, ran back from the front of the attack and said loudly to the commander of the 21st Wing, Shi Hu Hirofumi, who was aiming at the front with a telescope.

The corners of Shi Hu Bowen's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that there didn't seem to be many defenders of the Independent Brigade in Maojiasoo Town. However, the tactics of the defense were very well coordinated, the counterattack was fierce, the machine guns of each side crossed, most of them fired from the flanks, and most of the attacking Japanese soldiers were killed.

If the opponent was a unit of the Nationalist Army, Shi Hu Bowen believed that under the same conditions, one of his infantry brigades would have already entered the town and strangled it.

It's a pity that the opponent is the long-known independent brigade of Li Yunlong's department.

"Captain Shihu and the brigade commander ordered to continue the attack on Maojiasoo Town. Be sure to take Maojiasoo Town, otherwise my 77th Brigade will be wiped out here! Just when Shi Hu Bowen answered the call and replied to the multi-household general, the devil herald of the 77th Brigade came quickly, and said hurriedly.

"I know, report to the brigade commander, our department will take Maojiasoo Town and fight a bloody way for the army!"

Shi Hu Bowen waved his hand, and his face sank.

"Hay!" The devil herald departed.

And Shi Hu Bowen turned his head to the chief of staff, Tado General Saburo, and said: "Dying on the battlefield is the best destination for the soldiers of our imperial army, and now the back road has been broken." Only when we go north, break through the enemy resistance in Maojiasoo Town, and kill Datong will we have a chance of survival. Order all the troops, all up, otherwise, there will be no life! Kill! ”。

"Hay, Captain! Humble duty understood! The Tagato shogun Saburo bowed heavily and left.

At this time, after Fujii Kamiya sent a telegram to the military headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City to request tactical guidance, Taro Miyano, who got the telegram in the command room of the military headquarters, was silent after reading it, and there was a rare lack of anger.

The devil on duty in the military headquarters of the First Army was silent, and Okada Jino said cautiously: "General, what should we do?" ”。
