Chapter 479: Sekihara Matsujiro (Tenth Update!) )

The Japanese attack position is in full swing!

Some devil soldiers rushed to support from behind when they heard the news, but they were also drowned in the rain of bullets and bullets of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

As more and more devil soldiers rushed to support, the two sides now collided fiercely after several firepower exchanges, and a fierce and cruel white-knuckle fight began.

Sekihara Matsujiro was awakened from his sleep by the sudden sound of explosions, gunshots, and shouts of killing.

In order to facilitate the command of the troops, and the fear that the troops are too scattered, it is not very safe.

Therefore, Sekihara Matsujiro had already moved his headquarters from the mountain col seven or eight miles away in the rear to a short distance behind his own sortie position.

was suddenly awakened, didn't even bother to put on the military jacket, carried it in his hand, and picked up the general's knife that belonged to him, and immediately ran out of the Chinese military tent.

As soon as Sekihara Matsujiro opened the curtain of the Chinese army's tent, he bumped into the chief of staff, Nagata Jio.

Before he could speak, he heard the chief of staff, Tian Jixiong, say with a panicked face: "Your Excellency, division commander, the big thing is not good!" The enemy has attacked our position, and at this moment the forward position has been broken, and at the same time a large number of enemy cavalry is coming from the rear of our army!

We...... We are already surrounded!

The current situation is precarious, Your Excellency the division commander, you should hurry up and move in! ”

At this time, Yang Chen, who knew that the 108th former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army was here through his memory reading ability, happened to lead hundreds of cavalry of the Tiger Ben Regiment and killed them all the way to this side.

Sekihara Matsujiro turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and under the reflection of the lights, he saw a Chinese cavalry not far away, wantonly chasing and killing his own defeated Imperial Japanese Army.

In addition to sappers and baggage soldiers, many of them are also his guards.

Although the imperial army of these guard brigades was fighting desperately, the situation still did not improve, and the Chinese cavalry still rushed all the way towards his position!

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Sekihara Matsujiro was furious and immediately shouted: "Guard brigade, stop them for me!" Order the 115th Brigade to quickly return to reinforcements and crush this despicable group of Chinese cavalry!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, after the previous battles, the 115th Brigade and the 116th Brigade have been extremely seriously reduced.

At this moment, they were stationed in the sortie position, and they were attacked by the enemy, and now the enemy army has broken through their defensive line, and the two sides are strangled together.

The enemy's strength is so great that in addition to the Tiger Regiment, it is also supported by other armies.

At this moment, the 115th Brigade and the 116th Brigade are still weak in self-protection, and they can't send reinforcements to stop this enemy cavalry!

You have also seen the current situation, with the strength of the guard brigade, I am afraid it will not last long.

There is an old saying in China, which is called to stay in the green mountains, and you don't have to worry about no firewood!

Therefore, I suggest that Your Excellency, the commander of the division, you will retreat and advance quickly.

Let's get to a safe place first, and then find a way to gather the troops!"

The chief of staff on the side, Nagata Jixiong, heard the sound and hurriedly urged.

"Yaga! If the imperial troops of the 108th Wing of our cavalry were here, how could this hateful Chinese cavalry be allowed to be arrogant! ”

Sekihara Matsujiro looked unwilling.

In order to quickly cover the rout of the city when Taiyuan City was broken, Sekihara Matsujiro also responded to the call of Commander Nishio Shouzo, and hid his cavalry with the 5th Division and the cavalry of the 11th Brigade in the south of Taiyuan City.

However, with the experience of Seiji Kazuki, Sekihara Matsujiro did not want to become the second lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army to die on Chinese soil.

Therefore, he just glanced in the direction where the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Regiment was killed with a look of resentment, and then fled in the direction of due south with a group of officers from the General Staff Department, escorted by nearly a hundred devil officers and soldiers.

"Let's go!"

Since the cavalry of the Tiger Regiment came from the northwest, the east was the direction where the battle between the two sides was most intense.

Therefore, the only escape route is to the south.

Although Sekihara Matsujiro was unwilling, there was no way.

In fact, he didn't know how many troops the enemy had sent this time, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the scene was extremely chaotic, and the troops under his command could not be integrated for a while.

In particular, the name of the Tiger Ben Regiment made him even more jealous, and he suddenly became a frightened bird.

Flee in a panic!

Sekihara Matsujiro and a number of officers from the General Staff Department fled, and the entire 108th Division suddenly lost its unified and effective command.

The two infantry brigades, an artillery wing, an engineer wing, and a baggage wing, as well as other units directly under the division, such as the health brigade and the communications unit, were all caught in the dilemma of fighting on their own.

The cavalry of the Tiger Regiment led by Yang Chen rushed left and right in the rear of the Japanese army, as if entering a no-man's land.

All the way to the former enemy headquarters of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, where the horses passed, there were corpses of devil sappers and logistics troops all over the field, and the heads of people were rolling.

It wasn't until he ran into the guard brigade left behind by Sekihara Matsujiro that he encountered some real resistance.

But it was only a little bit of real resistance.

The combat effectiveness of the devil soldiers of the guard brigade is quite strong, but it also depends on who they compare with.

Ordinary country. The infantry is naturally not their opponent, but when they encounter the cavalry of the Tiger Regiment, it will be completely insufficient.

The Tiger Ben Regiment rushed to kill and slash, and they were wiped out one after another.

Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared in the direction where Sekihara Matsujiro and his party had fled, and finally gave up his plan to continue the pursuit.

It is not difficult to catch up with them, but the most critical problem is that the pursuit must be carried by him personally.

If the others go, they may not be able to catch up, and even if they do, they may not be able to take Sekihara Matsujiro with fewer troops.

At present, the battle situation is at the most critical moment, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although the Japanese 108th Division was caught off guard by them, its strength is still there.

If he doesn't sit here, it is really unknown who will win and who will lose!

Even if you win, it's a miserable victory!

For the sake of just one Sekihara Matsujiro, it's not worth it at all!

Therefore, after a little change of thought, Yang Chen ordered Chen Ming and Zhao Dequan to lead 300 cavalry each to attack the rear of the enemy's 115th and 116th brigades respectively.

As for Yang Chen himself, he personally led the remaining more than 100 cavalry and rushed into the devil artillery position not far away.

At this time, the artillery wing of the 108th Division was already on the verge of collapse, and the reason why it had not yet withdrawn was because it was reluctant to give up their artillery and ammunition.

As mentioned earlier, Japan is an island country with an extreme shortage of domestic supplies.

Strategic materials such as rubber, steel and oil all need to be imported.

This is also the real reason why they invaded our China on a large scale, in addition to plundering the land of our China, they also took a fancy to all kinds of strategic resources on the land of China, and tried in vain to take it for themselves!
