Chapter 33, the capture of the city

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Japanese army quickly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and the American army, which originally had the upper hand, has been reduced to the meat of the board at this moment, and was pressed and beaten by the Japanese army.

This situation did not last long, although they attacked the exhausted Japanese army with the advantage of waiting for work, but now the Japanese have reacted, and soon the situation has reversed, and when the war is over, the sky has begun to lighten, and there is no doubt that the Japanese won the battle last night!

Yusaku Uehara asked coldly, "Have we counted our losses?" ”

The adjutant said in a panic: "Preliminary statistics have come out, in the late battle, our army suffered more than 18,000 casualties, and the logistics unit was almost completely destroyed, of which more than 5,000 were killed, more than 3,000 were seriously wounded, more than 20,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and more than 3,000 enemy troops were captured.

But ~ but we lost almost all of our supplies, weapons, ammunition, food and supplies, except for those that had been distributed to the troops! ”

Yusaku Uehara's face was gloomy and terrifying, judging from the casualties on both sides alone, the well-trained Japanese still won this battle, although it was only a pyrrhic victory, but as the side that was attacked, they were able to play the current exchange ratio is enough to be proud of!

But the loss of logistics and materials was serious, and without these provisions, he didn't have to say to reinforce the Second Army, and their own survival became a problem!

If it weren't for the international influence, he would have given all these prisoners to the surprise by now, in fact, many prisoners have already been killed by Japanese soldiers, otherwise there would not be the current situation - there is not a single wounded among all the prisoners!

Yusaku Uehara asked solemnly, "How long can our food last?" ”

The adjutant was embarrassed and said: "Your Excellency Commander, in order to speed up the march, the food is uniformly transported by the logistics troops and distributed every day, so we ......."

Yusaku Uehara interrupted the adjutant's words and said coldly: "Send a telegram to the general headquarters of the coalition forces, explain our situation, and let them quickly transport a batch of supplies!" ”

"Hey!" The adjutant immediately replied

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and when the coalition forces transport the supplies over, it is estimated that the daylilies are cold, and they have been on set off for four days, unless he orders the whole army to retreat now, he can save half of the time to get supplies, and the soldiers can still hold on!

Obviously, this situation is impossible, there are so many wounded people here, there are no supplies, and the Second Army on the front line is still waiting for him to come to the rescue!

Weapons and ammunition are also a problem, for the whole army, the intensity of the night battle is not very large, many troops are not engaged in the battle, and the consumption of ammunition is not particularly serious.

This is just for bullets, and there are basically not a few shells left, anyway, if you want to rely on these weapons and equipment to protect yourself, if you go to war, forget it!

The word "run out of ammunition" is deeply imprinted in the mind of Yusaku Uehara!

Yusaku Uehara sighed, and then said unwillingly: "Guards, summon the officers above the division commander to come over for a meeting!" ”

……

Abandon? There is no such word in the dictionary of the Japanese army! No provisions? There's no way around it, is there?

This little problem is not difficult for them, this is the United States, in this country where everyone has guns, and people's militia units claim to be equipped with aircraft and artillery?

It would certainly not be possible for the Americans to surrender their weapons on their own initiative, even if Nevada had declared neutrality and signed an agreement with the coalition forces!

Then the only way to do it is to grab it! Anyway, they are only a dozen kilometers away from Wells, and it is not difficult to launch a sneak attack to take the city with their intentions or not!

Being bold and reckless is the consistent style of the Japanese army! As one of the masterminds behind the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Yusaku Uehara is naturally not a timid master, and now that he is at this point, he naturally doesn't mind grabbing it!

Then the Japanese army disguised themselves and prepared to infiltrate Wells under the pretext of treating the wounded, which was also one of the agreements signed between the coalition forces and the neutral states!

Kazuo Yamamoto, the commander of the 1st Wing of the 19th Division, was the executor of this plan, and in order to make the plan more realistic, he ordered the soldiers to make temporary stretchers, carried more than 100 seriously wounded, and successfully infiltrated the city.

The United States has been peaceful for decades, and there has been no threat of foreign enemies for a long time, and Wells was originally undefended, but because of the outbreak of war, improvised fortifications were temporarily built, and naturally it was not easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Due to the small number of Japanese troops entering the city, and the fact that they were genuinely seriously wounded, did not arouse the suspicion of the locals, although everyone was not interested in the Japanese, they had to be allowed to enter the city due to the treaty.

After entering the city, the work of seeking medical treatment is in trouble, and the Americans will naturally not have a good eye for them, the invaders.

Seeing them enter the city, several hospitals in the city unanimously announced that the whole hospital was closed, and even the small clinics in the city closed their doors one after another, as if they were hiding from the plague god!

In addition, there is a team of militiamen who accompany them all the way, and they follow them wherever they go, and keep them under surveillance!

No way, the Japanese in this era don't have a good impression on the Americans, even if they sign a peace treaty with the coalition forces, they can also find loopholes to avoid!

For example, now, it's not that they don't cooperate, the medical staff also need to take a vacation, and today it happens that the medical staff are collectively on leave, and if you want to be treated, you can come back when they go to work!

Not only the hospital, but also the restaurants and shops in the city were hurriedly closed, and the meaning was very obvious - not welcome, the whole city closed to avoid the plague!

Seeing this, Kazuo Yamamoto's anger was unbearable, if it weren't for the overall situation, he would have exploded by now! It's better to endure it now, if you want to break out, you have to wait until the signal is sent outside the city before breaking out!

After walking around and feeling that the soldiers were tired, Kazuo Yamamoto slowly said, "Put down the wounded, let's rest first!" ”

Everyone is here to take the city together, and they don't really come to seek medical advice, how can they do it without conserving their physical strength?

After putting down the wounded, Kazuo Yamamoto, like the soldiers, picked up the dry food and gnawed it, not caring about the wounded on the stretcher at all!

Many Americans, who watched the excitement from a distance, pointed at them, as if accusing them of being inhumane and ignoring the lives of the wounded!

In fact, after tossing in this circle, several wounded people on the stretcher have been hung up, and Kazuo Yamamoto is also clear, but for the sake of the task, he still selectively did not see it.

As the minutes passed, the American militiamen who were staring at them became more and more impatient, deserted one by one, and the weather gradually became dark, Kazuo Yamamoto looked at the time, it was almost the agreed time, he pretended to be angry and said: "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

After saying that, he led everyone out of the city, as if he had given up and was really leaving. Seeing this, the American militiamen who followed them also showed a smile of victory!

The Japanese army outside the city was already ready, and when the time reached 7:22 as agreed, Yusaku Uehara burst out of his mouth with a sentence: "Order the 19th Division to start attacking the city!" ”
