"Your Excellency, the people of the branch are coming up again!"

Compared with the 119th Regiment on the side of Xianglu Peak, which was pressed and beaten by the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, in the ambush circle east of Xianglu Peak, the life of the Japanese army was also very miserable.

Since the Japanese troops who were ambushed were mainly the baggage wing and the engineer wing, the number seemed to be quite large, almost three or four thousand, but after all, it was not a front-line combat unit, and it was a great loss to fight.

Yesterday alone, nearly half of the army was lost, and by last night and during the day today, the Japanese army suffered even greater losses, but there were not many Japanese troops who could still hold on to the battle.

There were no more than 300 Japanese troops around Iba Tongmin, and the other Japanese troops were basically divided and surrounded by the Chinese army, unable to take care of each other.

As for reinforcements, only the 23rd Brigade to the west has arrived, but it has been desperately blocked by the Chinese army.

And don't think about the reinforcements from the east, because the reinforcements of the Chinese army have also arrived.

The Central Structural Wing, which was supposed to reinforce them, was entangled by Chinese troops.

To be precise, it was entangled by the 14th and 50th divisions of the Chinese army.

As for the fact that the Chinese army had two divisions surrounded in a roundabout way, Jiu Na Chengyi knew about it, so he sent two brigades to guard in the north.

However, Jiu Nacheng underestimated the 14th and 50th Divisions, and the Chinese troops of these two divisions quickly broke through the defensive lines of these two brigades and prepared to reinforce the 40th Division to the southwest.

In the end, the main force of the 14th Division encountered the Japanese Central Formation Wing in Longhua, Dajingkou and other places, and launched a fierce battle.

Now east of the 40th Division, two divisions of the 14th and 50th Divisions and the Japanese army have engaged in fierce battles with five Japanese squadrons in Longhua, Zuotan and other places.

The previous two squadrons were drawn from independent mixed brigades, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, but the Central Formation Wing had good combat effectiveness, but they encountered the 54th Division, one of the two heroes of the 14th Army.

After the baptism of many major wars, although the 14th Division was not the most capable infantry division of the Chinese army at this time, it was also among the top ten.

Therefore, it is somewhat difficult for the Central Construction Wing to reinforce the encircled baggage troops.

"Yaga, where are our reinforcements?" Seeing that the Imperial warriors around him had fallen so much, Inoba Tongmin couldn't help but scold.

"Your Excellency, the reinforcements have been stopped by the Chinese army. To the west, the two infantry wings of the 23rd Brigade and the 18th Mountain Artillery Wing were stopped by the Chinese army to the west of the incense burner peak, and so far they have not been able to capture the incense burner peak position.

As for the reinforcements sent by the division headquarters, they were stopped by the reinforcements of the Chinese army, and they should not be able to come in a short time. ”

Shaozo in front of Inoba Tongmin said bitterly.

"Nani?" Jingchang Tongmin's face was a little ugly, "The reinforcements from China have arrived?" ”

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a shell exploded near the well site sensitive.

"Wing Captain be careful!"

The officer next to him hurriedly pounced on him, and after the cannon sounded, the well field Tongmin raised his head and patted the dirt on his body, but the person was not happy.

Hearing that familiar voice, his face became even more ugly.

This is the unique sound of the 92 infantry artillery, I didn't expect the Chinese army in front of me to have it.

"Brothers, rush!"

After a few shells exploded, the sound of the Chinese army charging was heard again, and a large number of soldiers approached the only Japanese position according to the formation of the three-three system.

Fierce gunfire rang out again, and compared to the previous attack, this time the Chinese army attacked a little powerless for the remaining Japanese troops.

The Chinese army, which is not afraid of death, has frightened these non-front-line soldiers.

A one-to-one battle loss ratio was impossible, but the Japanese army suffered more losses.

Moreover, the strange offensive formation of the Chinese army made these Japanese troops, who were not rich in front-line combat experience, not know how to deal with it, and they were very passive in fighting.

In addition, at the beginning of the ambush, most of the only heavy weapons were destroyed, and the remaining Japanese troops lacked weapons to fight back.

Seeing that the Chinese army was already approaching his headquarters, Inoba Tongmin took out his own gun, gently wiped the dust on the surface, and then commanded.

"Send a report to the division and regiment headquarters, and say that the well field wing has done its best. However, the Shina army in front of him was too strong, and the Iba Wing was unable to defeat it as a baggage unit, and the Wing Commander Iba Tsutoshi would lead the remaining Imperial warriors to fight to the last soldier and serve the emperor. ”

There is no doubt that this is a jade broken telegram.

"Hey!" , Shao Zuo paused heavily.

。。。。。。

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

The staff officer walked into the brigade headquarters and reported, "The casualty statistics have come out, and a total of 768 people were lost in the attack on the outer heights, of which 479 were killed in battle and 289 were temporarily incapacitated due to injuries; The army attacking the main position of Xianglu Peak lost 1,395 people, of which 878 were killed in battle and 517 were temporarily incapacitated due to wounds.

In less than two days, our brigade killed more than 1,300 people on the Xianglufeng Heights. ”

"Yaga!"

The face of the former brigade commander was a little ugly, even if he was mentally prepared, he was still a little unacceptable after hearing this number.

Although the number of more than 1,000 killed in battle was not enough to make the 23rd Brigade lose its combat effectiveness, the many attacks in this day or so could not be carried out on the highland of the incense burner peak, which was still very unfavorable for the follow-up operations.

At the very least, morale will have a negative impact.

"And...

"What else?" The commander of the original brigade was also a little scared at this time, and he didn't want any bad news.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!" The staff officer hesitated for a moment and handed over a telegram, explaining, "I just received a telegram from the division headquarters. The commander of the 12th Wing of the Heavy Infantry Wing Iba Tongmin sent a telegram that the 12th Wing of the Heavy Infantry and the 12th Engineer Wing led by him had suffered heavy losses and could be wiped out at any time.

More critically, two divisions of the Chinese army stopped the Changgou Wing near Longhua, and the Changgou Wing was defeated and had retreated eastward.

Reinforcements from the Shina army are coming towards us and are expected to arrive in three hours. ”

"Bastard!"

The former commander of the brigade took out his command knife and looked fiercely at the wood of the brigade headquarters, and the sharp command knife directly cut off a piece of wood.

This telegram from the divisional headquarters meant that the 23 Brigade had only three hours left.

When reinforcements from the Chinese army arrived, it would be even more difficult for them to capture the incense burner peak.

The commander of the original garrison brigade thought about it, then gritted his teeth and ordered, "Pass the order, let the artillery wing carry out fire support, don't be stingy with ammunition, and be sure to take the incense burner peak within three hours." ”

"Your Excellency, but..."

The staff officer originally wanted to persuade him, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he was blocked back by the commander of the former brigade who was eager to break the deadlock.

After the staff officer gave the order, the commander of the original brigade looked at the incense burner peak in the distance and knew that this was the last battle.

If it is not possible to capture the incense burner peak before the arrival of the Chinese army, and then rescue the baggage troops that have not yet been completely annihilated, and take the opportunity to open up the connection with the division headquarters.

If it doesn't work, it's even more hopeless!
