Chapter 786: Purgatory on Earth
"Where was the 9th Engineer Regiment ambushed?"
Ryosuke Yoshika slammed his fist on the conference table in front of him, and the old conference table, which was not very strong, was directly smashed into a hole by it, and his own hands were cut one by one, and blood flowed down the wound and dripped to the ground, but he himself was unaware of it.
A pair of red, bloodthirsty eyes stared at Jiro Honda and Mayu Ishizuka, and let out a roar like a beast, which almost shook the entire command headquarters, even Fujita Susumu and Ogisu Tatsubei.
Jiro Honda and Masuke Ishizuka were a little apprehensive by Ryosuke Yoshika's angry eyes, and subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.
After a moment, Jiro Honda finally mustered up the courage to raise his head and look at Ryosuke Yoshika with a dodgy gaze, and said weakly: "Report, report to Your Excellency General, the Ninth Engineer Wing was ambushed by enemy troops in a valley. ”
"Yours, take me there!"
With that, Ryosuke Yoshika got up directly and bypassed the conference table and walked straight towards the door of the headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, your hand."
Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa followed closely behind Ryosuke Yoshika and shouted.
"It's okay!"
……
The division commander, Yoshika Ryosuke, got up and walked towards the door, and the rest of the Japanese officers of the 9th Division followed him without any hesitation.
After Fujita Susumu and Ogisu Tatsubing looked at each other, they also decided to go and have a look together.
First, they also have a certain responsibility for this matter, and secondly, they are also very surprised, although the Ninth Engineer Wing is not full, but at least there are nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, and today the entire army is completely wiped out, not only Yoshika Ryosuke is unbelievable, they also feel unbelievable.
The 9th, 3rd, and 13th Divisions of the Japanese Army, including the commanders of the divisions, all the senior officers of the three divisions were dispatched, and the momentum was as great as you can imagine.
In order to protect them, except for some wounded and necessary garrison officers and soldiers, the rest of the little devil officers and soldiers, whether they were cavalry artillery or logistics troops, were almost all dispatched.
From the station to the valley where the 9th Engineer Wing was ambushed, the road was almost full of imp officers and soldiers.
And the valley was surrounded by little devils.
Ryosuke Yoshika took the lead, driving a tall war horse at the front of the team.
All the way, he frowned with a dark face, and only kept whipping the war horse under his crotch to make it speed up.
He didn't say a word, and the rest of the little devil officers didn't dare to say anything, and followed behind him in silence.
Under the guidance of Jiro Honda and Masuke Ishizuka, Ryosuke Yoshika drove his horse almost as fast as he could.
The closer he got to the valley, the darker his face became.
Far away, the valley had appeared before his eyes; In his field of vision, there were still many Imperial Japanese Army, but all of them were not the Imperial officers and soldiers of the Ninth Engineer Wing of his Ninth Division, but the Imperial Officers and Soldiers of the Third Division and the Thirteenth Division.
There were still one or two hundred meters away from the valley, and Yoshika Ryosuke could already smell the smell of gunpowder and blood wafting from the valley.
"Yaga!"
When he came to the valley mouth, Yoshika Ryosuke turned over and dismounted, and when the situation in the valley came into his eyes, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and directly let out a roar like a beast.
Before he arrived, he had already established the fact that the 9th Engineer Wing had been wiped out, because he believed that Jiro Honda and Masuke Ishizuka would never dare to lie to him about this matter.
Not to mention that they were just a small engineer wing commander, even their division commanders Fujita Susumu and Ogisu Tatsu could not bear the responsibility for this lie.
Ryosuke Yoshika walked slowly towards the valley, taking in the entire situation inside the valley.
And the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he even spewed out a mouthful of blood.
The entire valley floor was completely soaked in blood, and there was hardly a clean place to stay, and all this blood belonged to their Imperial Japanese Army, because he had not seen a single corpse of an officer or soldier of Shina until the end.
As far as the eye can see, in addition to the blood-stained ground are the corpses of the Imperial Army, and some of the Imperial Army's bodies have even been shattered by cannonballs, and the stumps and broken arms have fallen all over the ground, and there are no dead corpses.
The cliffs on both sides of the valley were not stained red with blood, but they were punched by countless bullets; You can imagine the brutality of the fierce battle at the beginning.
Purgatory on earth, this is a purgatory on earth.
Looking up at the cliff, Ryosuke Kika knew that the enemy must have been lurking there before.
To confirm his suspicions, Ryosuke Kiga climbed up the steep mountain path.
As he expected, the enemy officers and soldiers were lurking on this cliff, because there were obvious traces of people lurking on this cliff.
Not to mention the weeds that are lying on their stomachs, just the bullet casings all over the ground can already explain the problem.
It's just that Ryosuke Yoshika wonders, how can there be a crater on this cliff?
And looking at these craters, it is clear that they have just formed; Looking at the situation in the valley, it is clear that the 9th Engineer Wing did not have time to open fire after being ambushed by enemy troops.
In addition, these craters are not always made by the enemy officers and soldiers themselves, right?
Ryosuke Yoshika couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"What a rice bucket!"
And in his heart, he had already greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the commander of the Ninth Wing of the Engineers, Noaka Toshisada.
Noaka Toshisada should be glad that he has broken jade, otherwise, even if he is still alive, Yoshika Ryosuke will kill him.
This valley is obviously the best place for ambush warfare, and he is fortunate to lead the team to plunge directly into it, and he doesn't know how to send scouts to reconnoitre.
In fact, how did Yoshika Ryosuke know that although Noaka Toshisada did not send troops to reconnoitre, he used artillery shells instead of scouts to reconnoiter the situation.
And those shells that Ryosuke Yoshika didn't know how to produce were made at that time.
For this reason, the reconnaissance company and the first battalion of the new regiment also lost more than a dozen brothers and wounded more than two dozen brothers.
If the situation had changed and Ryosuke Yoshika had been replaced as the battlefield commander, he would not have thought that there were enemy troops lurking on the cliff after the bombardment.
Ryosuke Kiga only reconnoitred the left cliff that the new reconnaissance company had reconnoitred, and after going down the valley, he did not reconnoiter the right cliff again, because it was no longer necessary.
And at this moment, the chief of staff, Nakagawa Hiroshi, who was originally inspecting the situation, suddenly walked straight towards him.
