"At least the strength of a battalion?" Okabe Naosaburo's heart sank, although the strength of only one battalion could not represent the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, it could at least show Xu Rui's determination, Xu Rui sent a battalion to Hatozhen to block their Kumamoto Division, which was enough to show that Xu Rui wanted to keep them.

"Yaga!" Okabe Naosaburo cursed, and immediately led Shigeta Shigetoku straight ahead.

After walking less than ten miles, Naosaburo Okabe had already arrived at the headquarters of the 23rd Infantry Wing.

"Division Commander!" It seemed that Naosaburo Okabe came in, and Tomata Sano quickly got up and bowed in salute.

"Sano-san." Okabe Naosaburo blushed and asked Sano Torota and said, "Yesterday morning, your 23rd Infantry Wing had already started from Daping Town, and nearly 30 hours have passed by now, why hasn't your 23rd Infantry Wing passed through Badou Town yet?" What are you working on? ”

Okabe Naosaburo was really angry, because the 23rd Infantry Wing, as the vanguard of the Kumamoto Division, was responsible for the task of opening the way, but now they had only traveled less than 100 miles in 30 hours, and they were even slower than the main force of their division, but the main force of the division carried a large amount of heavy equipment, while the 23rd Infantry Wing was advancing lightly.

"Hello!" Sano Tiger paused too heavily and said depressedly, "Division commander, no matter how much explanation you have, it will be pale, so let's ask the division commander to go to the front line to take a look." ”

At that moment, Tomata Sano took Naosaburo Okabe and his party to the frontline battlefield.

Then, Naosaburo Okabe saw the pennant planted all over the road.

"What is this?" Three black lines immediately appeared on the door of Okabe's head, and he asked, "Landmines?!" ”

"Hello." Sano Tiger paused heavily, and then continued, "Of course, not every small flag has mines, but even if it's only a tenth, it's a tenth!" ”

"A tenth?" Naosaburo Okabe said in a deep voice, "There are so many? ”

"Judging from the few minefields that have been cleared, there are only a lot more. ”

Shigetoku Shigeta said: "Sano-san, why don't you send an engineer unit to clear mines?" ”

Torota Sano said: "Shigeta-san didn't know that most of the mines buried by the Shina people were ceramic mines, and the metal detectors equipped by the engineering team could not detect them at all!" Only manual mine detection with a bayonet can be used, so the speed is very slow. ”

"Nani, ceramic mines?" Shigeta's face immediately darkened, "Cunning Chinese!" ”

Tomata Sano continued: "What's worse is that not only are there mines planted on the road, but also a large number of mines are buried in the fields on both sides of the road. ”

After a pause, Sano Torota said, "So in the end, you can only use human rolling thunder." ”

"Human Rolling Thunder?" Okabe Naosaburo's face instantly became solemn, and then he nodded and said, "It's a good idea to do it in extraordinary times." After a pause, he added, "But if the human body is rolling thunder, why is the progress of your 23rd Infantry Wing still so slow?" Haven't passed through Yadou Town until now? ”

Sano Torota sighed and said, "Because in addition to the obstacles of mines, there are also guerrilla attacks. ”

While speaking, Sano Torota led Okabe Naosaburo and his party forward, and then came to the front of a trench, Sano Torota pointed to the trench battle, and whispered: "Division commander, Shigeta-san, and all of you, when you came here, the road had already been leveled by us, so I don't know, but in fact, ......"

After a pause, Sano Tomata said miserably: "But in fact, we have filled in twenty-four field trenches like this, and in the middle of these twenty-four field trenches, there are minefields, and both sides are also mines, we finally cleared a safe passage through human rolling mines, but before we could move forward, we encountered a small force of the enemy, although the enemy's small force is not much, the fire density is very large, there are many machine guns, plus minefield restrictions, Our attacking forces could only attack from a narrow frontal with heavy casualties and even worse results! ”

Shigeta Shigetoku frowned and said, "Why don't you attack?" ”

"Shigeta-san, we're attacking." "But there are also minefields on both sides of the road, and even if you use human rolling mines, it takes time to clear out the minefields, and basically every time you break through such a blockade line, it takes at least an hour, and it takes us a full 24 hours to break through these 24 field trenches!" ”

Okabe Naosaburo sighed and said, "Sano-san, it seems that I wronged you, and it's hard for you." ”

"Nothing." Sano Tiger shook his head and said, "Failed to pass through Badou Town before noon, and failed to complete the combat mission issued by the division and regiment headquarters, so that the main force of the division and regiment has been blocked in Badou Town so far, and has not been able to get out of danger, this is the dereliction of duty of our 23rd Infantry Wing, and it is even more incompetent, please punish the division and regiment headquarters!" ”

"It's not time to hold accountable." Okabe Naosaburo shook his head and said, "The top priority is how to break through the blockade line of the Dameishan Independent Regiment as soon as possible and return to Feicheng smoothly!" After a slight pause, Naosaburo Okabe continued, "Sano-san, now you tell us more about the battle situation. ”

"Hello." Sano Torota turned around and said, "Please also ask the division commander to return to the headquarters." ”

At that moment, Tomata Sano led Naosaburo Okabe and his party back to his wing headquarters.

At the wing headquarters, Sano Tora reported to Okabe Naosaburo in detail about the battle situation in Hachito Town.

At noon today, after breaking through the twenty-four blockade lines in a row, the Sano Wing was finally stubbornly blocked by the Dahuyama Independent Regiment in Yato Town, and at least one battalion of troops, relying on the ruins and remnants of Yato Town, built a chain of fortifications that cut through the entire highway line, and locked their advance route.

Over the next two hours, Sano United attempted several attacks, all of which failed.

"Yadou Town?!" Okabe Naosaburo stared at him and said, "I think I already understand Xu Rui's intentions, Xu Rui wants to take the heads of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of our Kumamoto Division and sacrifice the Chinese people in Badou Town with blood, because before this, our forward troops had slaughtered the entire Badou Town, more than 2,000 people!" ”

"Nani, take the heads of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the imperial army and sacrifice more than 2,000 Chinese people with blood?"

"A Chinese citizen is worth ten heads of the imperial army? Xu Rui's appetite is inevitably too big, right? ”

"Arrogance, it's just arrogance, I want to see, what did Xu Rui take to leave our Kumamoto Division? Just by virtue of the battalion entrenched in Badou Town? Just want to close the door and beat the dog? Joke! ”

"What shut the door and beat the dog, are we dogs? Misnomer! ”

As soon as Okabe Naosaburo's words fell, the entire wing headquarters immediately exploded.

Shigeta Shigetoku also said disdainfully: "Until now, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has not even been able to break through the blockade of the Iwasaki Wing, and it dares to leave our entire Kumamoto Division behind?" It's a joke! ”

Unfortunately, however, as soon as Shigeta's voice fell, a signal soldier hurriedly entered.

"Report!" The signal corps paused heavily and reported, "Chief of Staff, Iwasaki Wing Urgent Telegram!" ”

Shigeta Shigetoku stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and his face immediately darkened at a glance, because this was not an ordinary telegram, but a farewell telegram sent by Iwasaki Mino, the commander of the 47th Infantry Wing.

Just looking at Shigetoku's face, Okabe Naosaburo and Sano Torota and others had already roughly guessed what was going on.

However, Naosaburo Okabe still had a trace of luck in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Shigeta-san, what's going on?" ”

"Hello." Shigetoku Shigeta was stunned and said gloomily, "Division commander, just five minutes ago, the 47th Infantry Wing was completely wiped out, and the wing commander Mino Iwasaki had also been shattered. ”

"Yaga." When Okabe Naosaburo heard this, his facial muscles immediately twitched.

For the Kumamoto Division, this is by no means good news, because with the destruction of the Iwasaki United, it means that the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment will be able to pursue in great strides, and now the time is more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and by the evening at the latest, the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment can rush to Badou Town, and the marching intensity of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Okabe Naosaburo is no stranger!

Moreover, before the arrival of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, the wolf tooth troops will arrive first, which is the most troublesome!

The brutal contest in Daping Town in the past few days has made Naosaburo Okabe have a clearer understanding of the power of wolf teeth!

That is to say, there is only half an afternoon left for them to be left for the Kumamoto Division, and if they can't break through the defense line of Badou Town before dark, as soon as the Dameishan Independent Regiment arrives, they won't be able to leave if they want to! And what worries Naosaburo Okabe even more is that once the Kumamoto division is trapped here, almost no one can rush to rescue them!

It's not that there are no troops, there are still troops, there are several divisions stationed in Bengbu in the north, Huainan and even Wuhu in southern Anhui, and there are two divisions stationed in Wuhan, as long as they cross the Dabie Mountain, they can be killed in Anhui, the problem is that due to the lack of military supplies, these troops basically cannot be dispatched!

In order to support this sweep of Dameishan, the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters has exhausted all the combat materials of all divisions and regiments under its jurisdiction, and now the Japanese troops in the rest of the directions can only shrink to protect themselves, and there is no spare strength to send troops to rescue them in Anhui.

Yaga!

Okabe Naosaburo cursed, gritted his teeth and said: "Order, the 6th Wing of Field Artillery will be deployed immediately, and cooperate with the 23rd Infantry Wing, and the 12th Squadron of Independent Chariot Corps will also be under the command of the 23rd Infantry Wing!" After a pause, Naosaburo Okabe said to Sano Torota again, "Sano-san, be sure to get through the Hachito Pass before dark, please!" ”
