Chapter 383: Hold on for three days
In the first battle of Happo Town, the Akita Wing was completely annihilated.
This news also quickly spread to the commander of the Isoya Division.
At this time, the Isogu Division had already relied on Yi County to hold on, and it could be said that it had achieved its intended purpose!
So when the Isoya Division heard the news, the commander of the Isoya Division immediately shouted: "Akita-kun, don't worry, my 10th Division will avenge you!"
The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! How do we explain to Admiral Akita? ”
Captain Akita is the nephew of Admiral Akita, and he originally only came to the 10th Wing to mix seniority to facilitate the gilded promotion, but he never thought that the captain of the Akita Wing was also broken in the battle.
Well, now the commander of the Isoya Division doesn't know how to explain to the old commander!
With a slight groan, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Tell Admiral Akita the truth!"
The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, if this Admiral Akita knew that his nephew's jade was broken, he would not blame you?"
The commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Blame it, blame it!" However, Admiral Akita put his nephew on the battlefield, so he had to be mentally prepared for this, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield! ”
At this moment, a devil herald walked in from outside the door.
The commander of the Chaoji Valley Division saluted, and the devil herald shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the report division, the Zhina Army has crossed Bafang Town and Qinglong Town, and is rushing towards our Yi County!"
With a look in his eyes, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Nani, the progress is so fast!" How many men and horses did the Chinese army kill? ”
The devil messenger shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, there is probably a brigade, but its follow-up troops are also constantly pressing!"
The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! The headquarters of the front army asked us to hold out for three days, we have to prepare in advance! ”
The commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Chief of Staff, do you think we can hold on for three days?"
The chief of staff shouted: "The ability of the Chinese army to attack the fortified position is very limited, and it will not be a problem for me to guard it for three days!"
The commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Yo Xi! Then I'm relieved! But what advice does the chief of staff have on how to defend Yi County? ”
The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, in my opinion, I think we should hold on to the two villages in the east and west, Baihuzhuang in the east and Qinglongzhuang in the west are the support points for the defense of Yi County, as long as these two support points are held, then Yi County will not be a problem to hold on for three days, even if it is half a month!"
The commander of the Isoya Division shouted: "These two support points are so important, then I must send a crack force to defend, Chief of Staff, what do you think?"
After a little hesitation, the chief of staff of the devil shouted: "In my opinion, the 12th Wing and the 21st Wing are both troops that are good at defense, and they are definitely up to this great task!"
Hearing this, the commander of the Isoya Division immediately shouted: "Herald, call Nagano-kun and Nishikawa-kun to me!"
In agreement, the herald quickly called in the two wing commanders.
The commander of the Isoya Division explained to the two wing commanders the importance of support points and defensive coordination.
Then, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted again: "Nagano-kun, Nishikawa-kun, the burden on your body is very heavy, the gains and losses of Qinglongzhuang and Baihuzhuang are related to the life and death of my tenth division, please two!"
The captain of the Nagano Wing and the captain of the Nishikawa Wing looked at each other and immediately responded in unison: "Your Excellency the division commander, please rest assured, we will definitely defend to the end, and we will never let the position fall into the hands of the enemy!"
With a smile of satisfaction on his face, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted, "Yo Xi! Hurry up and get ready! ”
……
Command of the 20th Corps.
Standing in front of a map, Commander Tang was carefully studying the military situation.
In the past few days, the units of the 20th Army Corps have attacked the flank of the Isoya Division with lightning speed, and have won a lot of successes.
The results of the various units were gratifying.
Among them, the Iron Fourth Regiment and the 181st Regiment worked together to encircle and annihilate a devil wing in Bafang Town.
All in all, this encirclement battle was really enjoyable!
At this time, the chief of staff standing on the side shouted: "The Iron Fourth Regiment has just sent a telegram, requesting to continue the attack on Yi County!"
Commander Tang shouted, "Where is the 181st Regiment now?"
The chief of staff shouted: "Report to the corps commander that the 181st Regiment and the other two regiments of the Sichuan Army have marched towards Qinglongzhuang and Baihuzhuang respectively!"
Commander Tang Corps groaned and shouted: "Chief of Staff, you tell the Commander of the Iron Fourth Regiment to keep him at a distance from the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army, and still wait for the fighters to mature before attacking!"
With a look in his eyes, the chief of staff shouted: "Commander, let's wait for the opportunity again before attacking!" Isn't that too much? ”
Captain Tang shouted, "Don't you know? These warlords are a big problem in the hearts of the commission, so why not use the hands of the Japanese to make reasonable consumption of these warlords! ”
Frowning, the chief of staff shouted: "However, the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment has suffered heavy losses in Bafang Town, and this matter has been reported to the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth War Zone!"
Captain Tang shouted, "Oh? What did the Sichuan army say in the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater again? ”
The chief of staff shouted: "Of course, it means that the Iron Fourth Regiment delayed the fighters and did not support the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army at the agreed time!"
With a cold smile, the commander of the Tang Army shouted: "Don't pay attention to it, the Gui surnamed Li can't command my Central Army after all, don't take it too seriously, as long as we keep attacking the devil in a timely manner, I forgive the surnamed Li and can't do anything to me!"
As soon as the voice fell, a communications soldier walked in from outside the door of the command room.
He saluted the commander of the Tang Corps, and the signal soldier shouted: "Report to the corps commander, the 10th Artillery Regiment has called, requesting us to send sappers to build a bridge!"
The commander of the Tang Corps shouted: "What is the 10th Artillery Regiment going to build a bridge for?"
The signal soldier shouted: "The heavy artillery of the 10th Artillery Regiment wants to pass through the Qinglong River to provide artillery support to the friendly forces attacking Yi County, but their sappers lack equipment, so I hope we can send sappers to support!"
Commander Tang Corps groaned and shouted: "Chief of Staff, Qinglong River is too close to Yi County, the 10th Artillery Regiment can't run too fast, in case the Isogu Division kills one of our back rifles, then this batch of heavy artillery bought from the Germans at a great deal of money will be dangerous!"
In fact, Commander Tang still had an idea in his heart, he just hoped that the non-central army troops attacking Yixian would not get artillery support.
The chief of staff shouted: "Having said that, we can't help but agree to the request of the 10th Artillery Regiment!"
After a little hesitation, the Tang Legion Leader shouted, "I have a way?"
The chief of staff shouted, "What is the opinion of the corps commander?"
Commander Tang shouted: "The engineer platoon is naturally transferred to the 10th Artillery Regiment, but you have to tell the engineer platoon commander that the speed of building the bridge must be well grasped, in short, you can drag it for as long as you can!"
The chief of staff shouted, "Yes!"
