It just so happened that the co-captain of the Sixth Wing of the Baggage Force, Nagakawa Sanada Kunie, hurriedly came over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shigeta Shigetoku said: "Division commander, Kawasanada-san is here, you should ask him." ”

Okabe Naosaburo's gaze turned to Kawa Sanada Kunie, however, before he could ask, Kawa Sanada Kunie paused heavily at him and spoke first: "Division commander, the ammunition is about to run out!" ”

"Nani?" Okabe Naosaburo's eyes went black and he almost passed out on the spot.

Okabe Naosaburo thought that the ammunition consumption would be very large, after all, in the past twenty hours, the offensive of the Dameishan Independent Regiment was beyond imagination, in order to stop the offensive of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, the ammunition consumption of the Kumamoto Division must be large, but Okabe Naosaburo still didn't expect that the ammunition consumption would be so large!

Before yesterday, the Kumamoto division had three days of ammunition reserves.

However, now, the ammunition reserves of the Kumamoto Division are almost gone!

That is to say, in just twenty hours, three days of ammunition reserves were consumed!

"Yaga Yaru!" Naosaburo Okabe turned his gaze to the captains of several infantry wings, gritted his teeth, and said, "Why is the ammunition consumption so large?" Consumed three days of reserves in less than a day? ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly sounded: "Division commander, the offensive of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is really too fierce, in order to block their attack, our heavy machine guns have hardly stopped, and the thirty-one Type 92 heavy machine guns of the three heavy machine gun squadrons of our wing have all been scrapped!" ”

When I looked back in a hurry, I found that it was Hidemitsu Nakano, the commander of the 13th Infantry Wing.

"Nani." Naosaburo Okabe said, "All thirty-one heavy machine guns were scrapped? ”

"Hello." Nakano Hidemitsu paused, "All 31 heavy machine guns have been scrapped, 52 of the 68 light machine guns have been scrapped, and the remaining 16 light machine guns have no ammunition available, as well as individual ammunition, grenades, and grenades for the grenadier team. ”

Kawa Sanada Kuni said angrily: "Nakano-san, didn't I just replenish your ammunition?" ”

"Where's that ammunition?" Nakano Hidemitsu frowned and said, "Just a counter-assault will be completely consumed." ”

"That can't be helped." Kawa Sanada Kunei said, "The baggage wing has a total of that ammunition, and I can't give you all the remaining ammunition reserves, otherwise, the other wings will scold me again." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wing commander of the 23rd Infantry Wing, Sano Torata, and the wing commander of the 45th Infantry Wing, Wakamatsu Heiji, also hurried over, and the two of them first greeted Okabe Naosaburo, and then began to complain: "Division commander, our wing's ammunition is about to run out, but the supplement of the baggage wing has not been in place for a long time. ”

Seeing the three infantry wing captains complaining there, and the captain of the baggage wing, Kawa Sanada Kunie, explained there, Okabe Naosaburo's heart was suddenly miserable, the dignified Japanese Imperial Army would actually fall to this? The war has reached this point, and Naosaburo Okabe can't wait to give himself a knife, seeing that Amaterasu is forgotten, shame, it's a shame!

However, no matter how ashamed and angry you feel in your heart, you should face the reality, and you still have to face it in the end.

With a light sigh, Naosaburo Okabe said: "Everyone, from now on, the supply of ammunition for individual soldiers will be strictly restricted, and machine guns are not allowed to fire in bursts, only two or three short points are allowed. ”

After speaking, Okabe Naosaburo said to Shigeta Shigetoku again: "Shigeta-san, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the Dispatch Army, requesting the chief of staff of the riverside to order the independent mixed 13th Brigade to transport the ammunition as soon as possible, if it is not delivered before dawn tomorrow, we will prepare to break through, as for what consequences will be caused after the breakthrough, we can't care!" ”

"Hello!" Shigeta shook his head, turned around and hurried away.

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.

There was jubilation at the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army.

Since the start of the second sweep of Dameishan, the news received every day is basically bad news, either the arsenal has been bombed, or the road or railway has been destroyed, either this infantry wing has been severely damaged, or the infantry wing has been completely wiped out, and I have not heard a single good news for more than half a month!

However, just now, I finally received good news!

After Nakamura Jun was appointed as the acting brigade of the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade, he rushed to Wuhu overnight, and then led the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade to the north overnight, and after nearly a day and night of rapid marching, he rushed to Feicheng in the evening, and then defeated the 32nd Group Army of the National Army besieging Feixi Town in a battle, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies!

When the news came, not only Kawabe Shozo was happy, but Nishio Shouzo was also very pleased.

Nishio Shouzo had not shown up for several days, and the pain of losing his son hit him very hard, for several days, Nishio Shouzo stayed in his office, no matter who he did, until today, when the good news of the defeat of the 32nd Group Army of the Nationalist Army by the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade came back from the Feicheng front, Nishio Shouzo reappeared.

"Riverside mulberry." Nishio Shouzo said with a smile, "It seems that this fellow villager of yours is quite good at leading troops, and he has won a big victory for the first time as a commander-in-chief to carry out a combat mission independently, this is a rare general, I don't think there is any need to aggrieve him to stay in the staff as a deputy chief of staff, it is better to simply go out and serve as the brigade commander." ”

Jun Nakamura performed well, and Shozo Riverbe naturally had a light on his face, and said: "Your Excellency the general has said so, and the humble position is naturally in favor of both hands, it just so happens that the base camp has decided to organize the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, so it is better to simply recommend it to the base camp, and Nakamura Sang will serve as the brigade commander of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade." ”

"Yo Si." Nishio nodded happily and said, "I will recommend it to the base camp." ”

"Hello." Kawabe Masasan paused and said, "Then I will thank His Excellency the General for Nakamura-san for his cultivation." ”

Nishio Shouzo waved his hand, and was about to say a few more words, but saw a communications staff officer hurriedly walk in and report: "Your Excellency the General, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, the Kumamoto Division has sent an urgent telegram requesting the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade to urgently escort the ammunition to the front line, and General Okabe said that if the ammunition cannot be delivered before dawn tomorrow, they are ready to break through!" ”

"Nani, the Kumamoto Division is going to break through?" Nishio Shouzo's face immediately became gloomy.

Kawabe Shozo said: "Your Excellency the general, don't worry, at present, the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has defeated the 32nd Group Army of the National Army, and the logistics supply line from Feicheng to Badou Town has been reopened, so the military supplies supplied to the Kumamoto Division will definitely be delivered to the front line of Badou Town in time." ”

Nishio Shouzo frowned and asked, "Where did the convoy go?" ”

Hebian Zhengsan replied: "I have already passed Chaohu County, and there are still eighty miles from Feicheng." ”

Nishio Shouzo strode to the map, then pointed to the map and said: "The transport team is still eighty miles away from Feicheng, and there are at least seventy miles from Feicheng to Badou Town, which adds up to more than one hundred and fifty miles. ”

Kawabe Shozo was dumb, the transfer time and route of the transport team this time can be described as top secret, except for him and Nakamura Jun, even Nishio Shouzo didn't know in advance, so, Kawabe Shozo was not worried that the arms would be robbed by the National Army or the New Fourth Army like last time, but to say that there would be no problems on the road, he didn't dare, after all, both sides of the Feiwu Highway are guerrilla areas of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, what if you encounter a small group of guerrillas? Or a flat tire, a broken axle in a horse-drawn carriage, or something? Don't be too normal to delay for a few hours.

Nishio Shouzo said in a deep voice: "Riverside-san, otherwise, let the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Regiment go to Badou Town first, the ammunition of the Kumamoto Division has run out of urgency, and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade will first balance some of their ammunition, with this part of the ammunition, how can the Kumamoto Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade hold out for a day, with this day, how can the batch of ammunition supplied to the Kumamoto Division also reach Badou Town." ”

Hebe Zhengsan paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency the General is wise!" ”

Then, Kawabe Shozo sent telegrams to the Kumamoto Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade respectively, first ordering the Kumamoto Division to hold out for another day, then ordering the Independent Mixed Brigade to rush to the aid of Hachito Town, and finally ordering the northbound transport team to speed up the march and be sure to send the military to Hachito Town within one day.

Feicheng, Feixi Town.

After receiving the order from the command of the Dispatch Army, Toshishi Nakamura came over to bid farewell to Katsuji Ima.

"Your Excellency, General." Nakamura Toshicho said, "I just received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and I have to rush to Hachito Town as soon as possible to help the Kumamoto Division, I'm afraid I can't stay in Hisai Town for long." ”

Ima Katsuji said: "Since it is an order to send the command of the Command Army, Nakamura-san should set off as soon as possible." ”

"Hello." Nakamura Jun paused heavily, then turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he paused and turned back, looked at Ima Katsuji and said, "Your Excellency General, do you need to keep an infantry brigade?" ”

Leng Tiefeng warned Jun Nakamura not to take any chances, but Jun Nakamura always had luck in his heart.

Nakamura Jun still doesn't want this batch of arms supplied to Kumamoto's division to have an accident, so he wants to leave an infantry brigade to help defend Hisai Town, and there are almost two brigades under Ima Katsuji, plus an infantry brigade, there will be no danger in Hisai Town, this move may anger Xu Rui, but he can excuse it and say that this is Imakatsuji's order.

However, Ima Katsuji didn't know the inside story, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "That's not necessary, Nakamura-san, the 32nd Group Army of the National Army has been defeated by you, and there is no danger in Feixi Town anymore, so even if you lead the main force of the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade to Hatoo Town, General Okabe needs your assistance even more." ”

Nakamura was bitter, but that's all he could say.

At that moment, Nakamura Jun was unhappy and left. (To be continued.) )
