When Shunroku Hata regained consciousness, he was already lying on the bed in the field hospital, and Chang Yong, deputy chief of staff of the Central China Front, and six or seven staff officers of the headquarters were nervously guarding his bed, but the chief of staff, Shozo Kawabe, did not see it, and he did not know whether he was staying in the headquarters to deal with the endgame or doing something else.

What endgame to deal with? Of course, it is to deal with the endgame of the Feicheng battlefield.

Although until now, Shunroku Hata has not figured out how Xu Rui deceived Shiro Inaba and how he achieved the effect of hiding from the world, but an indisputable fact is that the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division has indeed been served by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and even Inaba Shiro has become a prisoner of the Independent Regiment.

This was also the second Imperial Army general to be captured by the Independence Regiment, the first being Chiaki Shigedo.

Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously with his hand, which seemed to be about to burst, Shunroku Hata asked Changyong, "Changsang, how bad is the situation over there in Feicheng now?" ”

Chang Yong paused and said, "Your Excellency, it's not ordinary. ”

Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "To get to the point, how bad is it?" ”

"Hello." Nagayong paused again and said, "The division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division has been wiped out, Inaba Shiro, a wreck, has also become a prisoner of war of the Shina people, and a brigade of the 47th Infantry Wing was annihilated along with the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division, in addition, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery, which is still stationed outside the east gate of Hiseong, has also been fiercely besieged by the Shina Army, and the two sides are still fighting fiercely, but the situation is not optimistic. ”

"Nani?" When Toshiroku Hata heard this, he immediately became anxious, and he turned over and sat up at that time.

But as soon as he sat up, Shunroku Hata immediately felt the world spinning, and there was a violent dizziness in front of him, and then he fell back to the bed in a dark light, but fortunately he didn't pass out on the spot this time.

Chang Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, don't be excited, the doctor told you to stay in bed." ”

Shunroku Hata waved his hand weakly and said, "Naga-san, tell Hebe-san that you must keep the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery no matter what, and you must keep the Heavy Artillery Brigade no matter what!" ”

Shunroku Hata was really anxious, because the Japanese Army was only organized into six field heavy artillery brigades in total.

In the Japanese army circles, these six field heavy artillery brigades can be called strategic-level troops, and the loss of any one of them is a great event, and if the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade is really lost in his hands, even if the base camp and the imperial family do not hold him accountable, it will be a great shame for him, and such a result is something that Shunroku Hata does not want to see in any case!

At that moment, Shunroku Hata said again: "Naga-san, immediately send a telegram to the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade to the north, let them turn around and return south immediately, let them turn around and return south immediately, and return south quickly!" Taking a breath, Shunroku Hata continued to shout, "There is also a garrison stationed in Wuhu, and they will also go north to Feicheng for reinforcements immediately, so reinforce quickly!" ”

Changyong lowered his head and let Shunroku Hata roar there.

Because in Chang Yong's opinion, His Excellency the Commander is already in chaos at the moment.

Immediately order the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade to turn around and return south? What are you kidding, not to mention that the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade have already encountered the Nationalist Army near Changfeng, even if the two sides have not yet caught fire, you let them immediately turn around and return south to Feicheng, this is to let these two troops run to death?

Let the garrison stationed in Wuhu go north for reinforcements? That's even worse!

In less than half an hour, Xu Rui came back from the dead, and the news of the independent regiment's reoccupation of Feicheng would spread throughout the Chinese battlefield, and most of the national troops in the battlefield of western Zhejiang and southern Anhui would be like a chicken's blood, pouring out of the nest and launching a tidal attack on all the key points controlled by the Japanese army, especially the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, for Wuhu, it was like a thorn in the back! At this time, you let the garrison of Wuhu go north to reinforce Feicheng, aren't you going to ask for Wuhu?

The reality is cruel, and for the Japanese army in Central China at this time, there is really not much that can be done.

The only thing Kawabe Shozo and Nagato could think of was for Tadaharu Oga to send out the 3rd Flying Regiment to provide air support to the trapped 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery as much as possible.

However, even the 3rd Flying Regiment would not be able to dispatch until dawn.

If it is dispatched now, this black light will be blinding, and the group of the 3rd Flying Regiment may be able to fly to Wuhan.

After all, there was no satellite navigation in this era, and the aircraft could only rely on radar navigation when flying at night, but the Japanese army did not build a radar station in central Anhui, so even radar navigation could not be done, so the aircraft could only be dispatched during the day, so this long night, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery could only face it independently.

The 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery needed to hold out for at least three days before waiting for reinforcements.

The newly formed 17th and 22nd Divisions were being urgently transported to the Chinese battlefield by sea, and they could arrive in Wuhu in about three days.

At that moment, Chang Yong said: "Your Excellency, General, please take care of your health, you have to go back first." ”

Hata Junroku was still not at ease, and kept telling Chang Yong, asking him to tell Kawabe Shozo that he would definitely keep the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery no matter what, Chang Yong dealt with it on his lips, but he knew very well in his heart that the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery was most likely unable to keep it, although the 5th Brigade of the Independent Heavy Artillery had more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, and the strength was not many, but the real combat infantry only had two brigades, less than 2,000, and the rest were all technical arms.

Such a force, in the face of an independent regiment like a tiger and wolf, can imagine the end.

Chang Yong is now more worried about the fact that these large-caliber heavy artillery equipped by the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery must not fall into the hands of the Independent Regiment, otherwise, in the future war, these large-caliber heavy artillery will definitely become a nightmare for the Japanese army! With Xu Rui's consistent style, this is definitely a high probability event.

(Dividing Line)

really let Chang Yong guess correctly, Xu Rui was really tempted.

Looking at the battlefield ahead, from time to time from the firelight from the hideous figure of the tower-like cannon, the saliva at the corner of Xu Rui's mouth was about to flow down, Ni Mei, this is a heavy artillery brigade, a whole field heavy artillery brigade! According to the establishment of the Japanese Army, a heavy artillery brigade has two heavy artillery wings under its jurisdiction, and each heavy artillery wing has four heavy artillery brigades, each of which is equipped with eight to 12 large-caliber field heavy howitzers.

This is a real large-caliber field heavy howitzer, the smallest caliber is 120mm, basically 150mm, and even a heavy mortar with a caliber of 270mm, a few days ago they were defending Feicheng, their independent regiment really had enough of these heavy artillery, basically a shell fell, a building collapsed, if the shell hit the bunker directly, a platoon of people will be reimbursed in a blink of an eye, this lethality is by no means fake.

It's fat, it's a real piece of fat!

The meat does not bite when it reaches the mouth, this is by no means Xu Rui's character!

He Guangming, Wan Chongshan, and Xu Dekun, the battalion commanders, are close to the ink black, and their personalities have been seriously assimilated by Xu Rui, and when they saw this venerable heavy artillery, their eyes suddenly lit up, just like a bear that had been hungry all winter saw a lone lamb, and that greed could flow out of his eyes.

"Damn, a lot of cannons, a lot of cannons!"

"It's rich, it's rich, it's rich!"

"Regiment commander, this time we have to talk about it, these cannons here are enough for you to make an artillery brigade, you have to give up Ah Niu's machine gun company to me when you turn around, you have to make an artillery company for our battalion, donkey day, we are the 1st battalion, the first-class main battalion of our independent regiment, how can you do without an artillery company, it doesn't live up to its name."

"Just you, do you still want to make a fuss? Look at your sassy face. ”

Seeing He Guangming and Wan Chongshan fighting indiscriminately there, Xu Rui didn't stop it, what he wanted was this momentum.

But Sun Changhe over there was frowning, what kind of person, as if these cannons are already in your pocket, please polish your eyes, this is a whole heavy artillery brigade, in addition to artillery, there is still a garrison infantry team, didn't you see that the heroes of Feixi Eighteen Villages suffered a big loss just now?

"Talk about what kind of hero he is, and if he has the ability, he will do it seriously."

Sun Changhe just frowned, but Granny Yinhua couldn't help but start sneering.

After the failure of the Qipanzhai attack just now, the bandits of Niangniangzhai also followed the attack, and the result ended in failure, so for the arrogance of the independent regiment, Yinhua's mother-in-law is very unhappy, what the hell, can your officers and soldiers still go to heaven? The mountain that our heroes in Feixi can't capture even if they die, can you easily take it?

Xu Rui immediately showed a smile on his face, this was a call to their independent group.

It's good that through such an opportunity, let these bandits in Feixi see the power of their independent regiment, lest they really think that they are the best in the world! Disrupt the war, these bandits may still be able to do it, but in a regular positional war, it is really not that Xu Rui underestimates them, these bandits are far behind.

At that moment, Xu Rui called several battalion commanders and the chief and deputy captains of the veteran commando, Ding Li and Lei Peng, to him, and pulled out his teeth to kill the Kagoshima United in this battle, the veteran commando suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 80 of the two hundred veterans died, and even Luo Feng was killed in battle, but the old foundation of this army is still there, and the spirit is still there.

Xu Rui's gaze swept over the faces of the four battalion commanders, and he said in a deep voice: "Attack from four directions at the same time, remember, all four directions are the main attack, there is no feint, whoever breaks through the devil's defense line first, who is the head attack, Lao Tzu will be assigned to this battalion with Ah Niu's machine gun, have you heard it clearly?" ”

"Hear me." The four battalion commanders responded with a bang and quickly left separately.

Seeing the figures of the four battalion commanders go away, Xu Rui said to Ding Li and Lei Peng: "Ali, Dapeng, let the veteran commando team get ready, the heavy artillery brigade of this devil in front of you is a hard bone, I am afraid that it will not be smashed by a few of them alone, and you veteran commandos have to be counted on at the critical moment." ”
