Nanjing, Fanghua Garden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Turn the clock back to two hours ago.

Shozo Kawabe couldn't sit still in the office, so he came to the communications office.

At this time, although there was a calm in Fanghuayuan, but in the Huangnipu stronghold hundreds of kilometers away, the Iida detachment was fighting with the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and Kawabe Shozo was very worried about the war over there, and as time passed, Kawabe Shozo's mood became more and more anxious, and he began to pace back and forth in the communication office.

At this time, Hebian Zhengsan really hoped that he could have a pair of wings, so that he could fly directly to the sky above the Huangnipu stronghold hundreds of miles away, and see how the fight was going there?

It stands to reason that the Iida detachment could not be in danger.

In any case, the Iida detachment is a detachment, with two infantry wings of nearly 7,000 infantry, and an independent mountain artillery wing, equipped with thirty-six mountain artillery guns of 75 calibers.

Even if it is a night battle, even if the mountain artillery wing of the Iida detachment does not play its due role, but at least, there are two full wings of infantry, with these two infantry wings, it is not a problem to hold for one night, no, no, when the Dameishan Independent Regiment launched an attack, it was past midnight, and the Iida detachment only needed to hold for six hours.

After six hours, as soon as the sky is light, the bomber group of the aviation regiment will be able to fly over the stronghold of Huangnipu, and by that time, the battle will be won! In any case, it is absolutely impossible for the Dameishan Independent Regiment to continue its offensive in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the aviation regiment, so as soon as it is dawn, they will lose!

However, this is only a theoretical hypothesis.

Xu Rui is a person, but he can never be measured by common sense.

According to common sense, the Battle of Nantong, the Battle of Yematan, the Battle of Dawan, and the Battle of Qingfeng Mountain Road, which time was the Dameishan Independent Regiment able to win? But in the end? In the end, they won all these battles.

Moreover, it is basically an unbelievable war of annihilation! Unthinkable!

Therefore, for Xu Rui's fang, it must not be measured by common sense!

Therefore, Hebian Zhengsan is particularly worried at the moment, what is going on in the Huangnipu stronghold?

Time is passing little by little, and Kawabe Shozo's mood is becoming more and more anxious invisibly, pacing is getting bigger and bigger, and the frequency is getting faster and faster.

Finally, a signal soldier suddenly stood up and reported loudly: "Report, intercept the electrical signal to the Iida detachment!" ”

The riverside Zhengsan paused, then turned around and walked forward quickly, walked up to the signal soldier and said, "Copy! ”

"Hello." The signal soldier paused, sat back down in front of the radio, put on his headphones again, and began to transcribe the electrical signal.

After a while, the telegram was copied, and the director of the communications department, who had been waiting next to him, immediately grabbed the copy paper, and then translated it against the code book, and halfway through the translation, the director of the communications department was already stunned.

Kawabe Shozo didn't dare to look at it, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the Iida detachment?" ”

The chief of communications swallowed his saliva and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is a farewell message just sent by Second Lieutenant Saotome of the communications section of the Iida detachment, Second Lieutenant Saotome said that the stronghold of Huangnipu was shelled by a heavy artillery group composed of at least 200 heavy guns of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and the Iida detachment had no choice but to break through from the stronghold of Huangnipu to the north, but was ambushed on the way to break through, and from the detachment commander down, more than 9,000 officers and soldiers of the whole detachment were wiped out!" ”

Silence, the entire communications office suddenly became deathly silent, and the pins could be heard.

All the communications staff officers present were staring at their section chief with incredible eyes, and they couldn't believe their ears, the Iida detachment was completely annihilated by the Dameishan Independent Regiment?!

In less than two hours, a field detachment was completely annihilated?

Don't say it's a human being, even if it's 10,000 pigs, it's impossible to catch them so quickly, right?

The silence, the silence of the whole communication, everyone stared at each other, and they were all stupid.

After a long time, Kawabe Shozo roared violently like a seriously injured trapped beast.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible! The Dameishan Independent Regiment survived more than ten heavy artillery, and all of them were fixed in the artillery position of the Shaqiaogang fortress, in addition to this fortress artillery, there are dozens of mortars, where did they come from? And two hundred heavy guns? How is it possible, this is absolutely impossible! ”

"Impossible? Riverside San, you're too arbitrary! A cold voice suddenly came.

When Kawabe Shozo looked back in a hurry, he saw Nishio Shouzo Tetsu with a blue face and strode in, and behind Nishio Shouzo, he was also followed by the commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment, Tadaharu Ozaga.

Nishio Toshizo continued: "Kawabe-san, do you think Second Lieutenant Saotome will joke with you with his own honor, do you think he will joke with you with the reputation of the Imperial Army?" Huh? ”

Kawabe Shozo was dumbfounded for a moment, of course he didn't think that Second Lieutenant Saotome would use his honor and the reputation of the Imperial Army to make such a big joke with him, but Kawabe Shozo still couldn't believe Lieutenant Saotome's telegram, because Lieutenant Saotome's farewell telegram was too unbelievable.

How could the Dameishan Independent Regiment have a heavy artillery group? Right?

Oh no, the Dameishan Independent Regiment did have the opportunity to have a heavy artillery brigade, but the equipment of the entire heavy artillery brigade was taken by Xu Rui to exchange equipment with the National Army, so the current Dameishan Independent Regiment has only a dozen large-caliber heavy guns left at best, and it is impossible to have a heavy artillery group!

At that moment, Kawabe was divided into three points and said: "Your Excellency, the humble position absolutely does not doubt the infinite loyalty of the second lieutenant Saotome to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but the humble position also cannot believe that the Dameishan Independent Regiment actually has a whole heavy artillery group, and the number of heavy artillery is as high as more than 200, there must be a misunderstanding in this." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Nishio Shouzo glanced at Kawabe Shozo coldly, and then turned back to Oga Tadaji and said, "Duty Awa-san, or do you tell Kawabe-san and tell him what your reconnaissance plane has discovered?" ”

"Hello." He Zhongzhi shook his head heavily, then turned to Kawabe Shozo and said, "Kawabe-san, after receiving your call, I immediately sent two reconnaissance fighters to fly over the Huangnipu stronghold to carry out reconnaissance. ”

"Nani?" Hebian Zhengsan was stunned for a moment, and said like a dream, "Dameishan Independent Regiment, there is really a heavy artillery group?" ”

"Hay, there's really a heavy artillery group." "My pilot reported to me that there were at least 200 artillery positions on the positions of the Dameishan Independent Regiment and that they were carrying out artillery bombardment, but because it was too dark and my reconnaissance plane was not actually carrying aerial bombs, they did not carry out the bombing. ”

It is still possible to carry out aerial reconnaissance at night, but it is really too difficult for the pilots of this era to carry out bombing at night without ground guidance, and in this era without infrared night vision devices, if there is no ground guidance, there is basically no way to carry out effective night bombing.

"At least two hundred gun emplacements?" Riverside Masasan was stunned for a moment.

Nishio Shouzo snorted, and said: "Riverside-san, the Iida detachment has been wiped out, but the fraud and injury turmoil of the Osaka division has not subsided, and now only the Kumamoto division is left, which is difficult to support alone, so this sweep has actually failed, but please rest assured, I will take all the responsibility and ...... to the base camp."

"No!" Kawabe Shozo immediately shouted and said loudly, "Your Excellency, the sweep has not failed!" ”

Nishio Shouzao said coldly: "Riverside San, please face the reality, this sweep has failed!" ”

"No, the sweep didn't fail." Kawabe Shozo said, "What the humble post said is the truth, this sweep did not fail, although the Iida detachment was wiped out, but they were originally inconsequential divisions all the way, and the key to this sweep is the Kumamoto Division and the Osaka Division!" So, we still have a chance! ”

Nishio Shouzao said coldly: "Riverside San, aren't you still giving up?" ”

Kawabe Shozo said toughly: "Your Excellency, the battle has just begun, how can you give up easily?" ”

Nishio Shouzo stared at Kawabe Shozo for a long time and didn't speak, and Kawabe Shozo also looked at him without giving in, just because, Kawabe Shozo really has no way to retreat, others have a way out, and even Nishio Shouzo has a way out, this sweep failed, it's a big deal to atone for his sins next time, but he Kawabe Shozo will not have another chance.

If this sweep fails again, the future of his riverside Shozo will be completely ruined!

Whether it is for his own reputation or for his own future, Kawabe Shozo must be a Bo!

"Your Excellency, please believe me." Kawabe Shozo said sincerely, "We still have a chance!" ”

Nishio Shouzao said coldly: "Riverside San, do you really want to insist any longer?" You should be well aware of what it means if the end result is not what you say it is. ”

"Hey, I know very well about my humble position." Kawabe Shozo paused, "I am also willing to bear all the consequences for this." ”

"Okay, then I'll give you one last chance, I hope you don't let me down again this time." Nishio Shouzo snorted softly, then turned and left.

Kawabe Shozo is reluctant to give up, in fact, why does Nishio Shouzo want to give up?

If he gives up like this, it means that this sweep has not really begun, and he will be stillborn, and once this result spreads in the military circles, he Nishio Shouzo will immediately become the laughing stock of his colleagues, and more seriously, he Nishio Shouzo will leave an incompetent impression in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, once this label is attached, it will be very difficult to take it off, or in other words, it will be impossible to have such a chance again.

Nishio Shouzo also wants to take a risk! (To be continued.) )
