Chapter 63: Fifteen Thousand Enemies Destroyed!
Soon after Kenichi Muto sent a farewell telegram in advance, arranging for the main force of the Japanese army on the southern route, which had been commanded by Hiroshi Yamada, to immediately stop attacking Wei County and retreat immediately, the Japanese army on the northern route under the command of Kenichi Muto had begun to break through and attack in less than ten minutes.
At this time, the main force of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army and some of its affiliated Japanese troops, totaling more than 10,000 Japanese troops under the command of Hiroshi Yamada, were trying to get rid of the attack of the new regiment along the way and advance towards the attack of the new regiment along the way.
Under the heavy snowfall, the Japanese army on the South Road under the command of Hiroshi Yamada, who was walking and stopping, was already less than half an hour away from Wei County.
It's just that Kenichi Muto's urgent telegram made the commander of the 3rd Brigade, Hiroaki Sakamoto, have to temporarily order all units to stop advancing, and then rush to Hiroshi Yamada, who was sitting in the back seat of the jeep in the middle of the team.
"Chief of Staff, Division Commander Urgent Telegram!" Hiroaki Sakamoto looked gloomy, and when he saw Yamada Hiroshi, he handed the telegram in his hand to Yamada Hiroshi.
Yamada Hao just rubbed his hands at this time, and warmed his hands, complaining in his heart that the ghost weather at this time was so cold, and at this time, Hiroaki Sakamoto reported at once, and suddenly scared Yamada Hao.
It's just that Hiroaki Sakamoto said that it was an urgent call from Kenichi Muto, and he immediately quickly took it and looked at it, and frowned in less than five seconds.
"Sakamoto-san, what do you think?" Yamada Hao smiled bitterly, and after helplessly putting down the telegram in his hand, he said to Hiroaki Sakamoto.
To tell the truth, if Kenichi Muto's emergency telegram is true, it is estimated that it will not be long before Kenichi Muto's main force of the Japanese army will cease to exist.
At this time, it was meaningless for the main force of the Japanese army on the south road to continue to attack and advance towards Wei County.
And once the Japanese army on the northern route commanded by Kenichi Muto is completely annihilated, then the main ambush force of Li Yunlong will quickly turn the direction of attack and attack him all the way.
At this time, Guangling City was no longer in the hands of the Japanese army, and the situation was extremely difficult all of a sudden. Once the Japanese army on the North Route commanded by Kenichi Muto is completely annihilated, it will be possible for Li Yunlong's main force to fight them with the defenders of Guangling's Eighth Route Army.
As soon as he thought of this, Yamada Hiroshi immediately felt a sigh in his heart.
The same is true for Hiroaki Sakamoto, and when Hiroshi Yamada asked, Hiroaki Sakamoto immediately condensed and said: "Chief of Staff, it is recommended to stop advancing according to the order of the division commander, and immediately turn the direction of the attack, retreat, and take Guangling." If the lowly expectation is good, we may not be able to retreat very smoothly. Chief of staff! ”。
"Are you saying that the defenders of Guangling's Eighth Route Army will go out of the city to stop us from retreating?" Hiroshi Yamada immediately thought of a possibility.
Just didn't wait for Hiroaki Sakamoto to nod, at this time, an officer of the devil reconnaissance unit came running from the rear and had something urgent.
Seeing that the detective ghost officer was out of breath, Yamada Hao said angrily: "Yaga, slow down, you are an officer of the empire, don't panic." Say, what's the matter? ”。
"Report to the Chief of Staff, Brigade Commander! According to the report of the troops behind the palace, about five kilometers away from the main force of our South Route Army, a large-scale force of the Eighth Route Army was found trailing. Reconnaissance units report that there may be between one and two thousand or so people. It is estimated that the enemy defenders who are following us from Guangling City out of the city! ”
The Devil Scout Commander said breathlessly, his expression solemn.
Hiroshi Yamada and Hiroaki Sakamoto heard this, looked at each other, and both felt that the situation was serious.
Sure enough, Yamada Hao waved his hand and pretended to be calm and said: "You take a reconnaissance unit and cooperate with a brigade to fight back and defeat them!" ”。
"Hello, Chief of Staff!" The Devil Scout Commander paused, and then immediately left.
Subsequently, Hiroshi Yamada said to Hiroaki Sakamoto, the commander of the 3rd Brigade: "Sakamoto-san, I'm afraid the situation has come!" Even if we have arrived at the city of Wei County now, according to the urgent telegram sent by the division commander, the division commander may not be able to escape! The main force of the North Road is over! Now, the main force of our southern route is the only remaining living force of the 2nd Division. More than 10,000 elite imperial troops are unlikely to be attacking and advancing towards Wei County. ”。
"What do you mean, Chief of Staff?"
Hiroaki Sakamoto said, his eyes full of hope!
Sure enough, Yamada Hiroshi also lived up to Hiroaki Sakamoto's hopes, and ordered: "With my order as the mainstay, order all departments to immediately turn around and retreat in the direction of Guangling, quickly drop!" It's a pity, if it weren't for the heavy snow now, maybe our air force fighters would have been able to go out and cover our retreat from the air! ”。
"Hai, Chief of Staff, humblely obey!"
Although he also thought that there was no cover from the Japanese army's own fighters, Hiroaki Sakamoto knew that if he did not retreat quickly at this time, then continuing to attack Ulxian would be a dead end.
You must know that Li Yunlong's troops can even eat more than 15,000 Japanese troops on the North Road, so they will attack front and rear with the defenders of the Eighth Route Army in Guangling, wouldn't it block them from fighting a fierce battle on the road from Guangling to Wei County.
Not to mention eating them, even if they annihilate half of the living forces of the main force of the 3rd Brigade, Hiroaki Sakamoto and Hiroshi Yamada feel that there is no impossibility.
Therefore, it is best to withdraw at this time.
After all, after retreating, even if you meet the devil reconnaissance commander just now, the Eighth Route Army reported that there were one or two thousand people out of the city to follow. However, with the current combat strength and strength of the Japanese army, even if they can't annihilate the other side, it is still possible to defeat them and cover the main force of the army to withdraw to Lingqiu County.
With Yamada Hao's order, the main force of the Japanese army on the southern route began to quickly turn around and attack back to the tail pursuit force composed of more than 1,000 elite soldiers and more than 1,000 guerrillas of the independent battalion of the new regiment, which had already left the city and followed them less than five kilometers away.
At this time, Zhou Hua didn't know Yamada Hao's movements, but at this time, the Japanese army on the North Road was already in a state of annihilation.
"Boom, boom!!"
Under the command of Wang Chengzhu, the artillery soldiers of the new regiment smashed out the shells, and soon smashed them into the remnants of the Japanese army.
Fragments of artillery shells were flying everywhere, and the dirt on the positions had been blown up countless times. In the dirt, most of the blood was from the little devil soldiers, and it melted almost like the dirt.
In the cold temperature, the blood of all the soldiers on both sides of the enemy was quickly frozen by the cold temperature!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are less than two hundred people left. Already the enemy commander has raised the banner and signaled our unconditional surrender! What to do? Your Excellency, Division Commander! "Less than two minutes into the countdown to the end of the battle, there were less than two hundred remnants of soldiers gathered around Hiroshi Yamada.
Yamada Hao smiled bitterly and said miserably: "We are soldiers and soldiers of the empire, and there is no reason to surrender to the Chinese, gentlemen, rush with me, kill and kill, for Your Majesty, for the empire!" ”。
After speaking, Yamada Hao led the remnants of the Japanese army with less than 200 people to charge suicidally towards Li Yunlong's approaching team.
"Da Da Da !!!!!"
And the divisions of the new regiment responded with a shuttle bullet.
Two minutes later, the battle around the bifurcated estuary stopped for a moment, and the main force of the Japanese army on the northern route commanded by Kenichi Muto was annihilated, and more than 15,000 Japanese troops were ambushed and annihilated by Li Yunlong!
This ambush was a big victory!!!
