Chapter 404: Terrible Opponent! (Second Update!) )
"Sir, it's an urgent message from reinforcements!" The operator put down the headset and reported nervously.
"Impossible?" Just one glance at the contents of the telegram revealed an incredulous look of shock on the adjutant's face.
Staring at the operator, he asked, "You must be mistaken!" ”
"The main force of the independent battalion is obviously still in the base area, how can the reinforcements be attacked by their main force on a large scale, either the reinforcements are wrong or you yourself have made a mistake!"
Translating messages is the most basic common sense of a telegraph operator, and there will certainly be no problems.
Without thinking about it, he affirmed: "Sir, there is nothing wrong with the contents of the telegram, and it was sent by reinforcements!" ”
"It's over!"
A flash of despair quickly flashed across the adjutant's face, and without much thought, he rushed to the war room next door.
"Captain, something happened to the reinforcements, this is an urgent telegram they just sent, and I can't figure out what the hell is going on?"
Watanabe, just like his reaction just now, took the telegram and just glanced at it, and his face showed a shocked expression, and he cried out in a lost voice.
"It can't be!"
"The main force of the independent battalion can't fly, how can it be that it was still in the base last night, and it ran dozens of kilometers away as soon as it was dawn!"
The adjutant lowered his head and replied: "I don't believe it's true either, but the casualties of the reinforcements are there!" With a direct loss of a reinforced squad, more than 50 people killed in battle alone, and the opponent is also equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns and mortars, they will definitely not lie about the military situation in this kind of thing. ”
"Inflicting such heavy casualties on the reinforcements in such a short period of time, apart from the main force of the independent battalion, I can't think of any other troops in Lingqiu that can do this!"
"However, to let a unit with heavy weapons run for dozens of kilometers in a few hours and then immediately enter the battle to attack our reinforcements, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army cannot have such combat effectiveness, even the Imperial Army can't do it!"
"So I can't figure out what's going on? How did the independent battalion get there? ”
Watanabe replied with a calm face: "Divide the troops, this is the only explanation!" ”
"They have a way to change the tanuki for the prince, and they must also have a way to evade our intelligence network division troops, ambush our troops all the way, and attack our reinforcements all the way!"
The adjutant retorted with a look of disbelief: "This can't be! ”
"According to intelligence, last night the independent battalion dispatched at least four main companies in their base area to attack our attacking troops, and also used a large number of heavy machine guns and mortars!"
"Although we haven't figured out how many troops they have dispatched, a thousand people are definitely indispensable!"
"The independent battalion is the establishment of one battalion, and if we get rid of these thousand people, it is impossible for them to have troops to attack our reinforcements, and I think this is absolutely impossible!"
"Then you tell me where the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on reinforcements came from?" Watanabe asked, frowning.
"It is impossible for us not to notice that the Eighth Route Army of the surrounding counties has entered Lingqiu, so these Eighth Route Army must be the troops of the independent battalion!"
"Also, our reinforcements are under attack here, and according to our arrangement, there are at least three companies of the Imperial Association around here that can be killed to reinforce them. However, from the beginning to the end of the entire sneak attack, not a single Imperial Allied Army came, and no one even went to the Imperial Army who was supervising the Imperial Allied Army. ”
"The sneak attack reinforcements are hiding on the high ground on the hill of our garrison, pretending to be the Imperial Army, and launching an attack by surprise, don't you think there is a big problem here?"
"Something must have happened to these troops!" The adjutant said with a solemn face.
Watanabe replied with a calm face, "I think so too!" ”
"Our task for the Imperial Alliance Army is to defend the high ground on the mountain, and the Imperial Army will supervise the battle. If it was the ordinary Eighth Route Army troops attacking them, there were not many troops, and it would be impossible to kill so many of our troops in one night! ”
"Therefore, the Eighth Route Army that ate these Imperial Allied Army must be the main force of the independent battalion, and it also brought a large number of heavy weapons!"
Speaking of this, Watanabe's already gloomy face was directly enveloped in anger at this time, and his fists were clenched and slammed on the sand table.
Because I used too much force, a large number of wounds were directly smashed on the back of my hand, and the blood that kept gushing out quickly dyed my hands red, which looked very scary!
The adjutant hurriedly shouted: "Medic, the captain has injured his hand, come and bandage the wound immediately, ...... quickly"
"Get out of the ......"
Watanabe held back his anger and had nowhere to vent, and when he saw the medical soldiers rushing over, he scolded loudly.
"You can't die from this injury!"
"If my judgment just now is true, it means that we have once again underestimated the strength of the independent battalion, and the independent battalion must still have hidden troops that we don't know, otherwise they would not have the courage to divide their troops to fight, and it would be impossible to inflict such heavy casualties on the imperial army!"
"It's horrible!"
The adjutant gasped and exclaimed, he was taken aback by Watanabe's conclusion, and analyzed with a shocked face.
"Hide our strength first, let us mistakenly think that after a few main companies are transferred, their base areas will be empty, and induce us to send troops."
"Then give us a trick to change the tanuki for the prince, divide a part of the main force to kill back to the base area, and completely annihilate the four-way offensive troops we sent out!"
"And just when we thought that the main force of the independent battalion was in the base area, the reinforcements could safely enter Lingqiu, and we could sit back and relax, their hidden troops decisively dispatched and took advantage of the night to kill the Imperial Allied Army we had arranged along the highway, and then pretended to be the Imperial Allied Army to attack the Imperial Army......"
"Sir, this arrangement is too thorough, it's interlocking, there are no loopholes at all, the commander of the independent battalion is really so powerful!"
Watanabe replied with a calm face: "It's already happened, so we can't believe it!" ”
"I already attach great importance to the independent battalion and its commander, but I didn't expect it to be enough, Bage Yalu!"
The adjutant was stunned for a long time before he reacted from the shock, and then asked with a worried face.
"Sir, since the commander of the independent battalion is so powerful, and he also hides his strength from us, then reinforcements are even more important to us!"
"Only when they enter Lingqiu City safely, will we have the strength to replenish the troops and slowly recover their strength, and then further expand their strength, and finally eliminate the independent battalion!"
"The reinforcements have now lost a reinforced squad, and if there are large-scale losses, even if the remaining troops enter the county town to replenish the troops, it will not be enough to restore our strength, and we can't even make up for the losses last night."
"As for expanding the strength to a scale that can attack the independent battalion, it will be even more difficult!"
Watanabe thought so, forced himself to calm down, and ordered, "Send a telegram back to the reinforcements now!" ”
"Let them send out cavalry units to ensure that every hill that the troops will pass next is defended by the Imperial Allied Army, and let them protect the reinforcements to reach the county seat safely."
"If there is no Imperial Allied Army to garrison, occupy it immediately, cover the reinforcements and then retreat after the reinforcements pass smoothly, and abandon the high ground!"
"Order the remaining Imperial Allied Army troops along the highway to hold off the Eighth Route Army that may attack reinforcements at all costs and protect the reinforcements!"
"Contact the aviation and have them send a plane from before to cover the reinforcements from the air!"
"If you find the troops of the Eighth Route Army, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can attack them directly from the air!"
"Finally, order the reinforcements to march quickly through the dangerous road section, the sooner they reach Lingqiu, the safer!"
After the communications staff officer went to give the order, Watanabe continued to order: "The special forces have disappointed me too much! ”
"Without the false information they gave me, our losses would never have been so great, at least the troops attacking the base area of the independent battalion would not have been completely annihilated!"
"Therefore, the special service team of this defeat bears an unshirkable responsibility!"
"Captain Tian Chengzhi will be arrested when he comes back, I will shoot him!"
"Contact the brigade and regiment headquarters, I want more intelligence operations, and I want the intelligence officers of the special high school to personally command the special task force, collect intelligence for us, and develop an intelligence network in the independent battalion base area!"
