Chapter 310: Okamura in Distress
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the chariot troops of the Zhina people have come over, and they have launched a counter-charge against us, and our front-line troops are a little overwhelmed!"
A staff officer with a disastrous face reported to Ushijima about the recent battle situation.
And Ushijima Man's face was as ugly as a dead father, this situation reversed really damn fast, originally the 36th Brigade was attacking the other side, but in a blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive situation began to reverse.
However, Ushijima is also a battle-hardened general, he gritted his teeth and asked: "What about the 27th Division, is it possible that they are all dead?" ”
Hearing the word 27th Division, the staff officer laughed miserably: "We just got the news that the 27th Division has retreated, and they have not informed us of this news, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, now the large force of the Chinese has been slaughtered towards us." ”
Ushijima gritted his teeth loudly: "Honma Masaharu...... I already knew that this guy was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but I didn't expect him to play so badly, and in order to survive for himself, he actually made us substitute ghosts! ”
At this time, Ushijima was full of hatred in his heart, why was he so stupid, in order to meet with the 27th Division and desperately attack the position of the Huaxia Army on the opposite side, he saw that he was about to open the passage, but he was put on a match by his own friendly army, and no one could stand it. However, although he is eager to dismantle Honma Masaharu now, it is imperative to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Send a report to Commander Okamura Ninji immediately, I will accuse this coward to the headquarters, and immediately order the troops to start retreating. Be fast! ”
Ushijima's decision was not timely, but it was still a little too late, when he gave this order. Fred had already led the Panzer Regiment all the way to the back of the 36th Brigade, firmly blocking their retreat.
The 27th Division suddenly ran away, causing the news of the siege of the 36th Brigade that came to the rescue to Wuhan and the entire headquarters was shaken.
"Yaga...... How dare Masaharu Honma really dare to do this? ”
Numata Taka, who was so angry, grabbed the collar of the staff officer who came to report the news, and almost pierced people with a fire-breathing gaze.
The staff officer stammered and replied, "Yes...... Yes, this is a telegram sent back by General Ushijima Man, and now he and the 36th Brigade have been besieged by the 22nd Division of the Chinese branch in a place called Niujia Village in the west of Yangxin County. ”
No matter which country or army, there is always a lot of noise in the war hall. The ringing of telephones and the sound of staff officers arguing with each other made the whole hall as chaotic as a vegetable market, but now the whole battle hall was miraculously quiet. It may be an exaggeration to describe it as a pin drop that can be smelled, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as quiet.
Thirty-six brigades were surrounded. This is definitely shocking news, and its sensational effect is no less than when the 106th Division was completely annihilated.
What kind of unit is the 36th Brigade, it is one of the two brigades and regiments under the 6th Division. And what kind of unit is the Sixth Division, which is known as the double wall of the army. One of the most combat-ready divisions in the entire Japanese Army. If the 36th Division is encircled and annihilated, the sensation and impact will be too great, and the commander Okamura Ninji will not be able to hold back.
Now everyone's eyes are on Ninji Okamura, who is sitting in a corner and silently looking at the map.
After a long time, Numata Taka walked up behind Okamura Ninji and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency Commander, what should we do now?" Did you order the 27th Division to immediately return the same way and relaunch a new attack on the Chinese Army in order to relieve the siege of the 36th Brigade? ”
Okamura Ninji was silent for a long time, and then asked with a sneer, "Do you think a general who has lost his courage still has the courage to attack the Shina people again?" ”
Numata Taka was silent. But if Masaharu Honma still has a little courage, he won't flee alone like a lost dog without even informing his allies.
"What about the 36th Division, you can't ignore it, right?" Numata Taka was dumbfounded.
"What else can I do. You quickly inform the 3rd Flying Division and ask them to send planes to cover the retreat of the 36th Division, as long as it can be withdrawn, everything else will be fine. Okamura Ninji glared at Numata Taka angrily, and walked towards his office with his hands behind his back, leaving only the chief of staff with a sad face.
Looking at Okamura Ninji's back, Numata Taka wanted to speak, but the words came to his mouth and he swallowed them again.
As a matter of fact, Okamura Ninji did not know that the current Third Flying Division suffered considerable losses due to several successive air raids by the ground artillery fire of the 202nd Division, and the 3rd Flying Division had already developed a subconscious reluctance to provoke the 202nd Division. After all, it is the nature of human beings to bully the soft and fear the hard, and people will always be a little more in awe of things or people that can cause great harm to themselves, so in recent times, the Third Flying Division has always been able to push and push the tasks related to the 202nd Division, even if it is really impossible to push off, it will also consciously grind foreign workers, which is very rare for those who always look at people with their nostrils.
It's just that you know it, but there are some things that someone always has to do, for the sake of the 36th Brigade, let's let Numata Taka be wronged.
Back in the office, Okamura Ningji thought carefully for a while, and always felt that it was a bit hanging to rescue the 36th Brigade by blowing up a passage by the Flying Division alone, he hesitated and pressed the electric bell, and soon Miyamoto Ichiro walked in and bowed and said, "What do you command, Your Excellency Commander?" ”
Okamura Ninji asked, "Miyamoto, how is the offensive of the 3rd and 13th Divisions on Jiujiang now?" ”
Miyamoto Ichiro shook his head with a gloomy expression and said: "It's not very smooth, the seventy-four monarchs of the branch are resisting fiercely, as of yesterday, they have only taken the first line of defense of the people of China, and now they are still resisting along the Yangtze River on the periphery of Jiujiang City, the progress of the third division and the thirteenth division is very difficult, at least in the short term, they will not be able to take Jiujiang." ”
Gangcun was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "You said that if I ordered the 3rd Division and the 13th Division to stop attacking Jiujiang and attack the 202nd Division instead, what do you say?" ”
Miyamoto Ichiro's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "How can this work, haven't we done all this in vain these days?" ”
"But if you don't do it, you can't do it!" Okamura Ninji smiled bitterly: "Now the 202nd Division is rushing around in our stomachs like a monkey, and if we don't drive him out, our entire occupied area will be in chaos." (To be continued.) )
