Chapter 0373 - The Last Line of Defense (Second Shift)
After this battle of Xinkou.
The casualties of the Iron and Blood Brigade, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the district squad and the county brigade have exceeded 15,000 people.
Among them, the local troops suffered the heaviest casualties, because the combat effectiveness and equipment of the local troops were relatively backward, and the iron-blooded brigade also suffered more than thousands of casualties.
The Japanese army in the third line of defense occupies a favorable terrain, and if it is attacked, the casualties will inevitably be very large!
Li Yunlong nodded: "So I want to borrow the east wind and use ** bombs to destroy all the little devils!" In ancient times, Zhuge Liang used the east wind to burn Cao Ying, and now I Li Yunlong took advantage of the east wind ** enemy army, hahaha, I will definitely kill the Japanese army by surprise! ”
The Japanese army even used biochemical weapons such as *** bacteria, and Li Yunlong felt that his use of ** bombs was completely trivial.
"Look, there's going to be a good show tomorrow!" Li Yunlong looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.
After returning to the headquarters, Li Yunlong immediately summoned Wang Chengzhu.
Wang Chengzhu came to the headquarters of the Iron and Blood Brigade, looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Brigade commander, are you looking for me?" ”
"Iron pillars! How many ** bombs are there in the Biochemical Company now? Li Yunlong went straight to the point.
The last time I used ** bombs to break the first level of natural danger in Niangzi Pass, I consumed a lot of ** bullets, and now Li Yunlong doesn't know how many ** bombs are left.
Wang Chengzhu thought for a moment and said: "There should be 50 rounds left in the ** bomb, and about 60 rounds of mustard gas bombs left!" ”
.................
"So little!" Li Yunlong's brows furrowed slightly. "These 50 ** rounds are still relatively few!"
50 rounds of ** shells against tens of thousands of Japanese troops, ** will not be killed, but it is easy to make them lose their combat effectiveness.
Seeing this, Wang Chengzhu said cautiously: "Brigade commander, are you going to use ** bullets to deal with little devils?" But the southwest wind blowing now, followed by hundreds of thousands of millions of people, will make many people **! ”
"I understand what you're saying!" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu and said, "What if tomorrow is blowing the east wind?" Isn't this advantageous for us to use ** bullets? ”
Wang Chengzhu looked at the topographic map, and then nodded: "If the east wind blows, it shouldn't hurt the people, but where does the east wind come from?" ”
Li Yunlong pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "What if I can borrow the east wind?" ”
"Borrowing the east wind?"
Wang Chengzhu was even more puzzled.
"Haha, the brigade commander is joking"
Wang Chengzhu is not a person who reads poetry and books, of course, he doesn't know about Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, so he is even more puzzled.
"Alright, you just have the soldiers of the Biochemical Company ready to fight!" Li Yunlong said: "Don't worry about how I borrowed the east wind!" ”
"Yes!"
Wang Chengzhu is quite convinced of Li Yunlong.
I once remembered that Li Yunlong borrowed fog outside the city of Ping'an County to completely annihilate the two wings of the Japanese army, and he achieved remarkable results.
Although the Japanese army's natural plan increased Li Yunlong's gloom, the sudden change in the weather now made Li Yunlong feel a lot better, and he was ready to take advantage of the east wind to break through the mouth.
On the other hand, Saito's situation is not so good.
Now the entire Xinkou is in an emergency, and there is only one line of defense left in Xinkou, an important place for the entire soldiers, which makes Saito not in a hurry.
"It's really a cunning Shina man!"
Saito was very annoyed now, he didn't expect that the Iron Brigade on the high ground on the right would actually use such a method to capture the high ground, it was completely out of surprise.
"The general doesn't need to be too angry," Shangqian, the chief of staff of the Fukuyama Division, said cautiously: "There are serious problems in the assessment of the military strength of the Iron and Blood Brigade, which is the fundamental reason why the Battle of Xinkou has become like this time. ”
This time, the Japanese army in Xinkou was completely unaware of the existence of such powerful tanks and such dense anti-aircraft guns in the Iron and Blood Brigade.
The dense anti-aircraft guns were Ikeda's last erroneous estimate, and there were only two anti-aircraft guns in the entire Iron Brigade.
"Bagaya Road, failure is failure!" Saito roared and said angrily: "The combat effectiveness of this iron-blooded brigade of the Zhina Army is indeed strong, and this is the fundamental reason for our defeat!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent and silent.
Now the entire operational staff is bowing their heads, no matter how much they look up at Saito, after all, there is now the last line of defense left in Xinkou.
Saito has been in the military world for half his life, but it is the first time he has encountered such a tough opponent, and it is completely a feeling that he has been beaten a little powerless.
After a moment of silence, Saito looked at the people present and said in a deep voice: "I hope that everyone present will have a kind of determination, the determination of jade shattering, this time we must defend the third line of defense of Xinkou, all the defenders of Xinkou must not retreat, and those who violate military law will be punished and shot on the spot!" ”
"Hey!"
All the chiefs of staff and military commanders present responded in a loud voice.
Saito is a crazy ****, and he is also a brave and resourceful Japanese soldier, and now he is determined to defend Xinkou.
The chief of staff said cautiously: "Our third line of defense occupies a powerful terrain, and it can be said that we will definitely be able to hold the third line of defense!" ”
"yes!" Another chief of staff also said: "We have decided to break the jade and live and die with Xinkou!" ”
"Excellent! I hope you all have this awareness! Saito said in a deep voice: "The third line of defense in Xinkou must be held for more than a week to prepare for the defense of Taiyuan City!" ”
"At the same time, send a telegram to Taiyuan to inform General Yoshio Shinozuka of the battle situation in Xinkou, so that Taiyuan is ready for battle!"
"Hey!"
In Saito's view, only by finishing his work in one battle and sticking to the third line of defense at Xinkou can he hold it for at least a week, after all, the elite of the entire Fukuyama Division is in the third line of defense, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
One week?
The garrison battle of the third line of defense was to make Saito doubt his life, and Li Yunlong used the east wind to end the battle in two hours!
Taiyuan, the garrison headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.
Yoshio Shinozuka was looking at the situation and battle map in Taiyuan, and his brows were furrowed, because now Taiyuan was already very critical, and Xinkou was losing and retreating...
At this moment, a communications soldier walked in, put his legs together and said loudly: "Report to Your Excellency General, send a telegram from the hard side!" ”
"Read!"
When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, he immediately came to his senses and looked serious.
The communication day soldier said: "The situation in Xinkou is critical, there is a third line of defense left in the entire Xinkou, the Fushan Division has prepared for the battle of Yuchuang, and has won a week for the defense of Taiyuan City, and also informed Taiyuan that Li Yunlong's division of the Chinese army has powerful tanks and a large number of anti-aircraft guns, and the military strength should be upgraded to the combat level of the A division. Sincerely, Saito! ”
The Japanese army is roughly divided into four combat levels, including first-class A divisions, and the Japanese army has a total of 17 first-class A divisions with the most well-equipped equipment. Each division has more than 27,000 men, which is the most elite part of the Japanese army, followed by the second-class Category B division, which is a new support combat division for the war, and its combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Category A standing division.
This was followed by the third-class Category C division, which was mostly a new recruit and had a weak combat effectiveness. The four types of D-type divisions and regiments are specially designed to sweep the occupied areas, and they have the weakest combat effectiveness for sweeping and law and order in the occupied areas.
Now Saito has upgraded the combat power of the Iron Blood Brigade to a first-class combat division, which shows the strength of the Iron Blood Brigade's combat effectiveness.
Listening to the content of the correspondent's telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka was silent for a moment, and muttered to himself: "I really didn't expect that Xinkou only defended for two days and left the last line of defense, and the combat effectiveness of this iron-blooded brigade has improved very quickly, is it ...... Is this Taiyuan really unstoppable? ”
Xinkou is the gateway to Taiyuan, and once Xinkou is breached, Taiyuan will become precarious.
