Xu Rui's lurking position is very tricky, there are towering rocks everywhere, and there are dense fern vegetation in the middle, even in such a midwinter season, these ferns are also evergreen, so with the help of the cover of rocks and ferns everywhere, the devil can't find Xu Rui's hiding location at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If Xu Rui used an ordinary rifle, the devil could also determine the location of Xu Rui's hiding place through the sound of gunfire and muzzle flame, but unfortunately, Xu Rui and they all used sniper rifles equipped with a pin, which had no muzzle flame, and the gunfire was also very light, and it was difficult to hear it if it exceeded twenty meters.

And the direction where Xu Rui and the others are hiding now is at least five hundred meters away from the devil!

At such a distance, even if the little devil discovers them, it is difficult to pose a threat, and the little devil can only hit such a long distance with the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the effective range of the 38 big cover is far more than 500 meters, but at present, few of these reserves and reserves of the Kumamoto Division can accurately hit the target 500 meters away.

The previous Kumamoto veterans still had a lot of human-shaped targets that could accurately hit 500 meters away, but unfortunately, most of these Kumamoto veterans died in the Battle of Hijo, and the military literacy of these reserve soldiers and reserve soldiers who were later added to the Kumamoto Division was far worse than the original Kumamoto veterans.

Therefore, in the current Kumamoto Division, few devils can fight so far.

However, a distance of five hundred meters is really nothing for a wolf's fang.

Especially the Mauser 98K sniper rifle equipped with a scope makes the wolf's teeth like a tiger, and at a distance of 500 meters, even Hua Niu and Plague Dog can hit the vital point with guns, not to mention Xiao Taohong and Xu Rui.

However, only Xiao Taohong, Xu Rui and Hua Niu were shot, and the plague dog hid in the tree and was responsible for lookout.

When Xu Rui looked up, he saw the plague dog hiding in the shade of the tree and made a series of sign words downward: At least one squadron of devils came around from the direction of three o'clock, apparently trying to intercept the body and cut off the retreat of several of them.

Xu Rui smiled and said in a cruel voice: "The little devil is still the same old-fashioned, he will be outflanked from both wings if he doesn't get through the front, hehe, he is so naïve that he can retreat from the wolf's teeth, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui turned his head to Xiao Taohong and said: "Xiao Taohong, you immediately send a telegram to the first regiment and the second regiment, and order the first regiment to rush over immediately, and wipe out all the little devils in this brigade for me, and then let the second regiment block the devil's reinforcement road, at least buy an hour for the first regiment!" ”

"Yes." Little Peach agreed and quietly retreated.

Soon, a beam of radio waves shot off the hill.

(Dividing Line)

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.

A communications staff officer hurriedly walked into the war room, bowed to the riverside, and reported: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I have just received an urgent telegram from the Kumamoto Division, and the arson operation in the afternoon has failed again, and more than 500 Imperial Army warriors have broken the battlefield, and more than 300 Imperial Army warriors have been seriously wounded. ”

"Yaga, so many people died?" Kawabe Masan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

Kawabe Shozo originally thought that after changing to a large army to set fire, the loss would be at least smaller, but he did not expect that the loss would be even greater than in the morning, and dozens of arson squads were dispatched in the morning, and the casualties were only 500, but in the afternoon, it was changed to a large army arson, but there were nearly 1,000 casualties, of which more than 500 were killed.

According to such a way of death, how many days can the Kumamoto division last?

"Hello." The communications staff officer paused, "According to the information provided by the Kumamoto Division, the arson troops they sent not only had to break through the blockade of the wolf's teeth, but also faced the danger of being surrounded by the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment at any time, among which the Hyugazhi Brigade belonging to the 13th Infantry Wing was first attacked by the wolf's teeth in the afternoon arson operation, and then surrounded by at least four battalions of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. ”

"What did you say?" Two black lines immediately floated on the door of the riverside Zhengsan's head, and he said angrily, "The Hinata Zhi Brigade was surrounded by the four battalions of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, has the Kumamoto Division been watching?" The commander of the Okabe Division did not send troops to the rescue? ”

The communications staff officer said: "The commander of the Okabe Division sent reinforcements to rescue, but the reinforcements were also blocked by the Dameishan Independent Regiment on the way, and the Dameishan troops who fought the blocking also had at least four battalions of troops, and even an artillery unit, which engaged in a skirmish with the independent artillery brigade of the reinforcements. ”

"Nani?" Hebe Zhengsan was stunned when he heard this, "There are also four battalions of reinforcements?" ”

"Hello." The communications staff officer paused and said, "The Kumamoto division reports that there are at least four battalions. ”

"Alright, I got it." Kawabe Shozo waved his hand, and the communications staff officer turned around and exited the battle hall.

Kawabe Shozo walked to the side of the simulated sand table, watching the sand table fall into a long contemplation, Nakamura Jun returned to the battle hall after handling the chores at hand, just in time to see Kawabe Shozo waved his arm.

Nakamura Jun came over and asked, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, have you found anything?" ”

Hebe Zhengsan sighed, and asked instead of answering: "Nakamura-san, have all the arms urgently transferred from southern Anhui and western Zhejiang have been transported to Pukou?" ”

"Hello." Toshitoshi Nakamura said, "It has arrived safely. ”

"Yo Si." Shozo Kawabe said happily, "Remember, it is important to do a good job of security work to ensure the safety of the munitions, and the arms carried by the Osaka Division can only last for seven days. After a pause, he continued, "Also, we must collect convoys as soon as possible and transport arms to the front." ”

"Hello." Toshitoshi Nakamura said, "The lowly government has already instructed the government to recruit convoys. ”

"Yo Si." Kawabe Shozo said again, "There is also the Second Army, we must also contact them, and the ammunition carried by the Kumamoto Division can only last for about half a month, so the ammunition transferred from the Second Army must be transported to Feicheng within ten days, otherwise, the Kumamoto Division will face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food." ”

Nakamura Jun said: "The lowly post has already contacted His Royal Highness Higashikure, and His Royal Highness Higashikure said that in seven days at the latest, the arms allocated to the Kumamoto Division will be able to be transported from Wuhan, and the lowly post has already calculated that if the Yangtze River waterway is taken, the arms transferred from Wuhan should be able to be transported to Feicheng within ten days." ”

"Yo Si." Kawabe Masan said happily, "Kawabe-san, hard work." ”

Nakamura shook his head and said, "These are all things that should be done in a lowly position. ”

Kawabe Shozo said: "In this way, the problem of munitions has been solved, because the munitions transferred from the North China Front Army and the East Army will also be transported to Shanghai within one month, and with this batch of munitions, it will be enough to support the replenishment of the materials allocated by the base camp, and now, we can finally sweep the Damei Mountains without distraction." ”

Jun Nakamura nodded and asked casually, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, how is the arson operation of the Kumamoto Division going?" ”

"It didn't go well." Speaking of the arson operation of the Kumamoto Division, Kawabe Shozo's face immediately became gloomy, "At the end of the day, the fire did not burn, but the Kumamoto Division lost more than 1,000 officers and soldiers. ”

Jun Nakamura said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, didn't even burn a single fire? ”

Kawabe Shozo said: "That's not it, there are still a few fires burning, but, due to the lack of protection, it was quickly extinguished by the people of China, damn it, if there was a strong wind at that time, the fire would immediately be completely out of control, but there was no wind at all, and the sky was not beautiful." ”

Jun Nakamura asked again: "Is the aviation dispatched?" ”

"Not really." Shozo Kawabe shook his head and said, "Dispatching aviation troops to throw sulfur bombs is our last hole card, and we can't show it too early." ”

Nakamura Jun nodded expressionlessly, but he was hesitating in his heart, should he report the last hole card of Shozo Riverside to Xu Rui? If he didn't report it, in case the Meishan Independent Regiment suffered a big loss, Xu Rui would definitely not let him go, but if it was reported to Xu Rui, the sweep would probably fail.

Personally, Nakamura still hopes that the Japanese army will win the sweep.

Kawabe Shozo noticed that Nakamura Jun's expression was different, so he asked in surprise, "Nakamura-san, what are you thinking?" ”

Nakamura Toshiru woke up like a dream, sighed lightly, and hurriedly said, "I didn't think about anything, I just felt a little emotional." ”

Kawabe Shozo didn't ask too many questions, and said: "It's only the first day, the failure of the arson is nothing, the time is still very sufficient, not to mention, the defeat of the Kumamoto division is not without gain, from today's arson operation, we still have a lot of valuable information." ”

After speaking, Kawabe Shozo pointed to the sand table.

Nakamura Jun looked intently and saw that the small blue flag representing the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment had been planted at the western foot of Dameishan Mountain, and in front of the Osaka Division, there was nothing else except a small blue flag near Pucheng.

Kawabe Shozo said: "Through today's action, it has been basically determined that the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is in the area of Daping Town, obviously, Xu Rui pointed the finger at the Kumamoto Division again, and concentrated all his forces to attack the Kumamoto Division, but Okabe-san will tell him with cruel facts that his wishful thinking is difficult to succeed." ”

Jun Nakamura said: "The Kumamoto Division is not the Iida Detachment, and Xu Rui's calculation is difficult to succeed. ”

Kawabe Shozo said: "But Xu Rui's arrogance has given us a godsend!" ”

"A godsend?" Nakamura's heart sank and he asked, "What kind of God-given opportunity?" ”

Hebian Zhengsan pointed to the location of Meixian and said: "At present, the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is gathered near Daping Town, and the defense of Meixian must be very empty. (To be continued.) )
