Chapter 699: Blasting
The festive atmosphere in the Devil Army soon spread to all corners, and even the sentries in charge of the night vigil on the battlefields began to sing and dance to celebrate the decisive victory of the Japanese army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Jiujiang, perhaps only Seishiro Itagaki and Kamefu Ueno are sober.
Although it was already late at night, Ueno Kamefu was still not at ease, and personally led the guards to the city to inspect the Japanese position, Ueno Kamefu felt that Commander Itagaki was very correct in what he said, and the more times like this, the more we should not be negligent, because this kind of time is often the most lax of the Japanese army, and the national army is likely to be trapped because of despair.
If one side is negligent, and the other side is trapped in the beast, then the result is difficult to predict.
As a result, when Ueno Kamefu inspected a position on the battlefield to the east of the city, he found that several sentinels had gathered together and were singing cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms.
Under the sunny sky in March,
Endless cherry blossoms.
Flowers are like a sea of clouds like colorful glow,
The fragrance is incomparably picturesque.
Come on, come on.
Come and see the cherry blossoms.
Several sentinels sang and danced with their hands.
When Ueno Kamifu saw this scene, his nose immediately turned crooked.
"Yaga, what are you doing?" Ueno Kamefu roared, and several sentries looked back and saw that His Excellency the Chief of Staff had personally come to patrol the night, and they were immediately silent.
Several sentries stood upright, standing in place and not even daring to breathe.
Ueno Kamefu strode forward, walked in front of the military cao who led the team, slapped his head and covered his face with a dozen slaps, and beat the military cao into a pig's head, and still had his anger still subside, and asked the orderly soldiers accompanying him to call the wing commander of the 55th Infantry Wing in charge of the battlefield in the east of the city, Iida Yoki.
Yoki Iida had already fallen asleep, and was woken up from his sleep by his deputy co-captain Jun Shimada.
Iida Yoki rushed over sleepily, but saw Ueno Kamefu standing there with a blue face.
"Chief of Staff!" Iida Yoki's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and stood upright, and nodded in greetings.
Ueno Kamefu glared at Iida Yoki with compassion and asked coldly, "Iida-san, what did I say before nightfall?" ”
"Hello!" Ueno Kamefu immediately replied, "Before nightfall, the chief of staff ordered that all departments must strengthen their vigilance, and absolutely must not give the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army any opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Ueno Kamefu pointed to the sentries who were singing and dancing just now and said, "Is this how your 55th Infantry Wing has strengthened its vigilance?" If the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army suddenly launched a breakthrough battle at this time, would your 55th Infantry Wing be able to respond in time? Om, can you respond in time? ”
"Hello." Iida Yoki did not defend himself, but just admitted his mistake.
However, in his heart, Iida Yoki was quite unimpressed, at present, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has been compressed in the north of the city, and the destruction is only in the future, how easy is it to break through? What's more, the defense line of the 55th Infantry Wing has a total of three front and rear lines, and this is only the outermost third defense line, can it be used as if facing a great enemy?
Besides, the imperial army has won such a big victory, and the warriors are not allowed to celebrate?
Ueno Kamefu didn't mean to explain to Iida Yoki, and said directly: "Immediately send an order, all streets and alleys, and all street intersections and arteries will be strengthened according to the highest standards, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and every street must send a patrol team to patrol uninterruptedly......"
Speaking of this, Ueno Kamifu suddenly paused.
Because Ueno Kamefu faintly heard a muffled sound, and then he felt the ground under his feet shaking slightly.
"What's going on? Was there an earthquake? "As a Japanese, Kamefu Ueno is no stranger to earthquakes, because Japan has hundreds of earthquakes every year, but since the end of November last year, he has not felt an earthquake for a long time.
Ueno Kamefu's confusion was also a momentary thought, and the next moment, the shaking of the ground under his feet suddenly intensified, and he could even clearly see that the ground paved with bluestone slabs under his feet began to crack in an instant, and then quickly arched, and then turned outward, and then turned up bluestone slabs, clods of dirt and filth, and bloomed with a bang.
This is not an earthquake, but a sapper blast! Ueno Kamifu only had time to turn his mind before his head was hit hard by the bluestone slab that turned upward, and he fainted on the spot.
Yoki Iida, who was standing in Ueno Kamefu, and more than a dozen orderly soldiers and sentries were not much better, and they were instantly swept to the ground by the violent shock wave.
This is just the east of the city, several hundred meters from the center of the explosion!
The junction between the east and south of the city, which was at the center of the explosion, was now completely annihilated by the huge smoke and dust.
Xu Rui also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha anyway, and at the junction of the east and south of the city, within a distance of one kilometer, forty explosion points were arranged, and each explosion point was buried with fifty catties of explosives! Forty explosion points detonated at the same time, thousands of kilograms of ******** exploded at the same time, which is equivalent to 200,000 grenades exploding at the same time, can you imagine what the effect is?
Although the smoke and dust produced by the explosion are far from dissipating at this time, you can fully imagine that within the diameter of the forty explosion points and fifty meters, there is absolutely no building existence, as for the fortifications built by the little devils, they have already been blown up to the point that there is not even slag left, and there are devils within fifty meters of the explosion point, even if they are not killed, they are shocked to death on the spot.
Behind the commandos, more than 300 veterans of the Sichuan Army who were only slightly injured and more than 100 officers and soldiers of the puppet army garrison brigade, each carrying a critically wounded man on a stretcher, also rushed into the thick smoke and dust.
(Dividing Line)
At the time of the explosion, Seishiro Itagaki had just finished his work and was ready to sleep.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the marching bed and didn't lie down, the ground under his feet suddenly began to shake violently, Itagaki Seishiro was caught off guard, and he fell to the ground with a stumble, and his forehead was still knocked on the corner of the bed, and the blood flowed in an instant, but Itagaki Seishiro didn't care about wiping it, and he got up and rushed outside.
"What's going on? What's going on......" Itagaki Seishiro just asked half a sentence, and then the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat and couldn't say more, because his eyes had already seen it, and he saw that a huge fireball had risen in Jiujiang City, oh no, it was a long fireball, a huge fireball composed of countless fireballs!
Also, the dazzling red light reflected almost the entire night sky.
As soon as he saw this situation, Iwasaki Ikushiro knew that the Japanese position had been blasted by the sappers of the Sichuan army!
Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro reacted immediately, and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army was afraid that it was going to break through overnight!
"Yaga Yaru!" Itagaki Seishiro let out a low curse from the depths of his throat, then turned his head and shouted, "Order, the 55th Infantry Wing and the 56th Infantry Wing immediately organize their forces to block the junction between the east and south of Jiujiang City, and send another force to intercept outside the city, absolutely not allowing the Sichuan army to break through!" ”
"Hello!" The herald behind him paused, turned and left.
Although the order had been given, Seishiro Itagaki was still a little worried.
Because judging from the explosion smoke and dust, it is obviously at the junction of the east and south of the city, and now the east and south of the city are already under the control of the Japanese army, which means that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has no chance to plant explosives at all, so there is only one possibility, that is, these bombs have been planted by the Sichuan army a long time ago.
This means that long before the Battle of Jiujiang began, the Sichuan army was ready to break through.
Therefore, the breakthrough of the Sichuan army this time can be said to have been planned for a long time and has been prepared for a long time, but the Japanese army is in a hurry to deal with it, so it is not difficult to guess what the result will be.
Thinking that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army was likely to successfully break through, and thinking that Xu Rui was likely to slip away from the palm of his hand, Itagaki Seishiro's heart immediately hung up, Yaga Yalu, if Xu Rui was really allowed to escape in the end, the base camp would not be said, and His Majesty the Emperor would definitely be disappointed in him.
Before coming to the battlefield in China, His Majesty the Emperor repeatedly told him that he must do his best to hunt Xu Rui!
Xu Rui must be hunted down, and he must no longer be allowed to smear the face of the imperial army and the face of the empire!
At that moment, Itagaki Seishiro hurriedly walked back to the tent and hissed and roared: "Map, quickly bring the map!" ”
A staff officer hurriedly took the map, spread it out on the canvas table, and whispered: "Your Excellency, your forehead is bleeding, please let the medic bandage you?" ”
The medics, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward.
"Get out of here!" Seishiro Itagaki pushed the medic away, and then walked over to the canvas table.
Itagaki Seishiro's gaze only wandered on the map for a moment, and then he immediately showed a look of clarity: "I understand, I finally understand why Xue Yue sent troops north out of Fengxin County!" This unit is clearly here to meet the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is going to break through in the direction of Mahuiling Town and De'an! ”
Several operational staff officers standing next to them were full of confusion and some did not understand the essentials.
Itagaki Seishiro explained: "You see, the north of Jiujiang is the Yangtze River, the east is Tuoyang Lake, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has no ships, neither can cross the Yangtze River, let alone Poyang Lake, so they can only go south or west, but to the south there is Lushan to block, it is a dead end, and to the west will collide with the Botian detachment, which is also a dead end, so the only way for the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army to survive is to break through to the southeast, that is, to break through in the direction of Mahuiling Town and De'an!" ”
"Sodesnay." The combat staff officer was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately asked, "But Your Excellency, is it really possible for the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army to break through the encirclement?" ”
Seishiro Itagaki was silent. (To be continued.) )
