Shanghai, headquarters of the 13th Army.

Usamitaka had slept in the lounge on the second floor for less than ten minutes before he was woken up.

When I sat up, it was Hinata Zhiming, and Hinata Zhiming's face was extremely embarrassed.

"Hinata Shi-kun?" Usamitaka was overwhelmed and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Hello." Hinata Shijun suddenly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Sakamoto detachment has suffered a big loss!" ”

"Nani?" Usamitaka, who was leaning over to put on his shoes, suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and only after a long time did he ask, "What's going on?" Yesterday evening, didn't Sakamoto's detachment capture several small hills in a row, and the situation was very good? Why did you suddenly suffer a big loss again? Tell me, how much loss did the Sakamoto detachment suffer? ”

Hinata Zhiming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The four mountains such as the Weighing Mountain captured during the day yesterday were all lost, and the four infantry squadrons guarding the mountain were collectively shattered, and even the troops who rushed to reinforce were also severely damaged, and the 5th Independent Tank Squadron, which cooperated with the Fifth Division, was basically disabled!" ”

"Basically disabled?" Usamitaka said awe-inspiringly.

"Yes." Hinata Zhiming lowered his head and said regretfully, "Eleven of the twelve Type 95 light tanks were destroyed, and twelve of the sixteen imitation Vickers armored vehicles were lost!" ”

"Yaga!" Usamitaka lost her voice and said, "How is that possible?" ”

At this time, Usamitaka had already put on his shoes, and immediately got up and hurried to the war room.

Hinata Shiaki took a few steps to keep up with Usamitaka, and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Sakamoto detachment reports that the Shina Army uses a mysterious weapon that can accompany the infantry in a surprise attack, and it is extremely lethal!" The machine gun fire points of the Imperial Army, as well as the tanks and tanks of the 5th Squadron of Independent Combat Vehicles, were destroyed by this mysterious weapon! ”

"Nani? How can there be such a weapon? Usamitaka said, "Can you still accompany the infantry charge, grenadiers?" ”

"Not a grenadier! Although the Chinese army was also equipped with grenadiers, their lethality was extremely limited. Hinata Shiaki shook his head and said, "This mysterious weapon of the Shina Army is even more lethal than the grenadier of the Imperial Army, because the biggest difference between the two is that this weapon can also shoot at a flat aim!" ”

"Can you shoot straight at level?" Usamitaka said, "Is it a battle defense artillery?" ”

"It's not a war defense gun." Hinata Zhiming said, "The battle defense cannon is very heavy, and it is impossible to accompany the infantry charge, but this weapon of the Shina Army can accompany the infantry charge, and it is obviously a single weapon!" ”

"A single weapon that can accompany the infantry charge, and the lethality is still so great?" Usamitaka's face fell, and he ordered the adjutant who was accompanying him, "Call the Kawashima agency immediately, ask Miss Yoshiko to come over, and tell her that there is an urgent matter!" ”

"Hello." The adjutant slammed his head, turned around and walked into the communications office next door, and called the Kawashima office.

While talking, the two of them had already come to the sand table, Usamitaka looked at it, only to see that the sand table had changed again, and the several hills that were originally planted with the red flag representing the Japanese army were replaced with the small blue flag of the national army.

There was also a wargame representing the 5th squadron of the independent tank, which was also taken off the sand table.

Seeing this, Usamitaka couldn't help but sigh and said: "I originally thought that the Sakamoto detachment would live up to expectations and take the lead in opening the gap from the direction of Jiulong Lake, but now it seems that it can only be an extravagant hope. ”

"Hello." Hinata Zhiming paused, "The Sakamoto detachment has suffered such a big loss, the artillery support firepower and the chariot unit can be said to have been lost, and the Chinese army is equipped with this mysterious weapon with great lethality, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough from the direction of Jiulong Lake, or it is impossible at all." ”

……

Xuejia Village, the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment of the Coastal Defense Corps.

Cao Guolin rushed into the war room and reported to Zhong Yi: "Counselor, Company Commander Yu is back!" ”

"Really?" Zhong Yi's expression perked up, and he said, "Hurry up and invite Company Commander Yu to come in, quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a heroic figure went straight in, still with a body of gunsmoke.

"Report." Yu Qi walked into the war room proudly, first snapped upright, and then saluted Zhong Yi, and said, "Yu Qi, the acting company commander of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Detachment of the 2nd Detachment of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to report to the duty, please instruct!" ”

By the way, the battle situation in the direction of Jiulong Mountain was very tragic, and the casualties among the grassroots officers were extremely large, and Yu Qi had been promoted from platoon deputy to acting company commander before the war.

Zhong Yi returned with a military salute: "Take a break." ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he immediately skimmed his legs slightly.

Zhong Yi then asked, "The task is all done?" ”

Yu Qi replied proudly: "Report to the seat, our company has successfully recaptured the positions of Jiulong Mountain and Pingfeng Mountain, and destroyed the devil artillery position hidden at the southwest foot of Jiulong Mountain in one fell swoop, and finally severely damaged the devil reinforcements, destroyed more than 20 of its tanks and armored vehicles, and killed and wounded at least 50 devil infantry!" ”

"Okay." Zhong Yi said, "The brothers have worked hard. ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi then asked, "How about the casualties of the troops?" ”

When Yu Qi heard this, the expression on his face immediately darkened, and said, "There are more than two hundred casualties, of which at least eighty are killed, and Ah Jiu is also killed. ”

"Ah Jiu is also dead?"

Zhong Yi's expression darkened when he heard this.

Qin Jiu and Yu Qi were the only survivors of the first battle of Jiulong Mountain, and they never thought that they would die in battle.

After a pause, Zhong Yi asked again, "Company Commander Yu, Xiao Liu, has Xiao Liu come back?" ”

"Xiaoliu is fine." Yu Qi shook his head and said, "I saw him just now, and there was no." ”

"It's okay." Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if Fang Xiaoliu had something to do, he really wouldn't have a way to explain to Aunt Fang, this was already her only son.

Yes, war is so cruel that it does not depend on anyone's will.

Yesterday, Fang Xiaoliu's younger brother, Xiao Qi, died in a counterattack of the 3rd Company.

However, Xiao Qi died very heroically, and when he was stabbed through the abdomen by the devil with a bayonet, he tore open the devil's carotid artery with his teeth, and died with the devil soldiers!

When Fang Xiaoqi's remains were transported back, and when Aunt Fang rushed over to collect the body when she heard the news, the grief in Zhong Yi's heart could not be described in words, if he could, he really wanted to exchange his life for Xiao Qi back.

Therefore, Zhong Yi really doesn't want Xiaoliu to have another accident, there can't be another accident!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Cao Guolin hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Counselor, this time the devil has suffered such a big loss, and the direction of Jiulong Lake should be able to stabilize." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Lao Cao, don't forget, our opponent is the Fifth Division, which is the first-class main division of Little Japan!" Such an opponent is forced to rush and will go berserk! ”
