Chapter 218: Eliminate the Japanese Mechanized Reinforcement Squadron
After the well retreated to Zixi with the team, he quickly notified the major teams to report the casualties.
According to statistics, more than 300 people were killed and more than 700 were wounded, of which more than 200 were seriously wounded who lost their combat effectiveness. There were 4,500 combatants and 500 non-combatants, which means that 1/10 of the 5,000 people were finished.
Jingbian asked Takeda for help in Zixi Castle, and begged for a team to be sent immediately to pick up the wounded and bring medicine.
Takeda was stunned when he received the report from the well, he looked at the map and said to the chief of staff, "Send a squadron to pick up the well immediately." ”
The chief of staff whispered: "It is very difficult for the vehicle to enter, and the speed will not be fast." ”
Takeda said, "You can't let the well abandon the wounded on the side of the road, right?" ”
The chief of staff was stunned and whispered, "I will immediately give the order to rescue the well." ”
A squadron of Japanese soldiers drove a car and under the escort of an ironclad car, and drove towards Zixi.
At noon, when the Japanese rescue squadron arrived at the Takata Gorge, a tail flame rocket suddenly flew from the mountain, and an ironclad car in front of it exploded, and a truck in front also exploded, and the convoy was immediately blocked.
Something that the Japanese convoy never dreamed of happened, an ironclad car and a truck in the tail were also destroyed, and the entire convoy was stuck and unable to move.
Rockets hit the vehicles like roll calls, and the canyon soon burst into flames, with fires everywhere.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers lay on both sides of the road and fired indiscriminately into the woods, trying to counterattack.
An hour later, the explosions stopped, all vehicles were blown up, hundreds of Japanese infantry were killed, more than 200 wounded, and the living Japanese soldiers carried the corpses back and forth with the wounded.
In the dense forest, Gu Yulin asked Xiao Yifei in a low voice: "Why didn't the captain fight those Japanese soldiers who were alive?" ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Let them carry the wounded and the corpses back." Our goal is to cut off the Japanese army's transportation lines, so we don't have to bother with those little devils. ”
Die'er smiled and said: "Stationmaster, what my brother means is that injuring a devil has a greater impact on a devil than killing a devil, and my brother once said that there must be at least two or three people to rescue a wounded." These devils have to walk dozens of miles to carry the corpses and the wounded! These wounded will seriously consume the Japanese army's medicine and supplies. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "It's still Die'er smart, yes, that's what I mean." There were also many wounded Japanese soldiers who were cowering in Zixi, and these Japanese soldiers could not stay in Zixi for a long time, and the wounded Japanese soldiers would force the Japanese to take action. I'd like to see what the Japanese will do next. Chen Lao's team will come soon, they can not only pick up a lot of weapons and ammunition, but also help us hold the north and west sides of Zixi. ”
Gu Yulin nodded and said with a smile: "There are still four or five thousand people in the Japanese army!" The weapons are excellent, the quality of the soldiers is very high, and they do not break their muscles and bones. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "But these Japanese troops are like frightened birds, and they don't dare to act rashly. Let them stay in Zixi as bait, and fish the Japanese army from the direction of Jinxi, and we ate the Japanese army one bite at a time. ”
In the evening, Xiao Yifei and Chen Yugeng stood on a hill and looked in the direction of Zixi.
Xiao Yifei smiled and asked, "How many usable guns have you picked up?" ”
Chen Yugeng smiled and said, "Two hundred." ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "You will pick up more guns in the future." ”
Chen Yugeng smiled and asked, "What should I do next?" ”
Xiao Yifei said with a smile: "I don't need to plant some mines on both sides of Zixi, the number is not too much, as long as I can kill a few Japanese soldiers." ”
Chen Yugeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it overnight." ”
After Chen Yugeng left, Xiao Yifei said to Zhao Zihao: "Carry out a precise strike on the Japanese troops in Zixi City, do not need to shoot continuously, and launch them one by one." The purpose was not to let these Japanese soldiers rest peacefully, of course, it was better to kill and kill the Japanese soldiers. Once the Japanese army in the Jinxi direction has a large-scale increase in troops, the Japanese army can deliver a devastating blow. ”
Zhao Zihao nodded and said, "Yes!" Every once in a while, a rocket is fired, which must make the life of the Japanese army in Zixi worse than death. If the Japanese troops in the Jinxi direction were to be reinforced, let them join the Japanese troops in Zixi. ”
Commander Takeda and Osa Ibe spoke on the phone.
Osa Inobe lamented on the phone: "Your Excellency, Commander, our army has been surrounded by Chinese troops on all sides, and our army only has one day's food. Request reinforcements. ”
Commander Takeda sighed and said, "We must hold on, and I will immediately send another brigade to reinforce it." ”
After Takeda hung up the phone, he said to the chief of staff: "The mountains between Jinxi and Zixi are dense and dense, and as long as the Chinese army does not stay on the road, they can hide everywhere." Our army is reinforced and may encounter an ambush at any time. ”
The chief of staff nodded and said, "If there are no reinforcements, the wellside wing will be all shattered, and the reinforcements will still have a chance of life for them." ”
Takeda sighed and said, "Send three tanks over, plus an infantry brigade, and make sure to open the line between Jinxi and Zixi." ”
The chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll arrange it right away. ”
While the chief of staff was making arrangements, Takeda and Tsukada exchanged phone calls.
Takeda said, "Your Excellency, Zixi needs airplanes to drop supplies. ”
Tsukada said loudly: "I will immediately contact the 13th Army and ask the 13th Army to send planes to airdrop supplies." Your unit must find a way to open up the Zixi line, not only to rescue the Jingbian United, but also to use Zixi as the forward base to capture Yingtan. ”
Tsukada's phone hung up, and Takeda looked at the microphone and shook his head vigorously.
Tsukada attacked and even asked him to go north from Zixi, and Takeda felt that this order was no less than a spell to urge him.
Before the Chinese army discovered the well, the route was absolutely secret, but when the Chinese army discovered it, the route became the road to hell.
The road from Jinxi to Zixi is not long, only a hundred miles, but the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and it is inconvenient for the army to march.
Rescue is extremely difficult.
One squadron of mechanized troops has been wiped out, and it would be unfortunate to send another brigade of infantry there.
Takeda had fought so many battles that he knew intuitively that his reputation would be ruined on this route.
Thinking back to the time when he discovered this route, Takeda felt ashamed.
The fact that the Inobe Wing was surrounded was not Inobe's fault, but that he Takeda underestimated the wisdom and will to fight of the Chinese army.
Tsukada attacked far away in Nanchang, and he didn't know the specific situation here, so he made the decision to still want to use Zixi as an advance base and attack Yingtan, which was too fatal.
Takeda's current thinking was that he had to quickly pick up the Jingbian United and launch an all-out attack on Li Xianghe's team from the direction of Jinxi. The Dongxiang direction must break through the defense line of the national army, and if the Dongxiang direction can break through the defense line of the national army, the whole game of chess can survive. Because that line will attract all the Chinese troops.
The siege of Zixi Jingbian United can naturally be unraveled.
However, Takeda could not command the Togo Brigade, which was an independent mixed brigade directly under the command of the military headquarters.
Takeda felt exhausted and wanted to cry without tears.
In Zixi City, the well side Dazuo is looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to rescue, the well is also wrong, he should break through at all costs, since the Yingtan Road is blocked, he should kill back to Jinxi and join Takeda. However, Jingbian is still dreaming of using Zixi as an advance base to attack Yingtan, and he desperately wants to wash away his shame by capturing Yingtan.
The well wants to stick to Zixi, how can Xiao Yifei let him stick to it?
Zhao Zihao determined a lot of striking coordinates, and from time to time asked Lin Hu to shoot rockets at Zixi City from a distance. The rockets were not dense, one in the east, one in the west, one in the south, one in the north, and each one landed in the Japanese camp. The earth-shattering explosion of rockets not only frightened people's souls, but also continued to take away the lives of Japanese soldiers. There is no way to hide, there is no escape.
Wellside and his entire wing were in a state of panic.
In the tent deep in the dense forest, Xiao Yifei drank with Dai boss Chen Yugeng and a national army division commander.
The commander of the national army, Jing Xiao Yifei, said: "Commander Gu is angry at me for abandoning Zixi, and wants me to report to you and let you do it. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "If you behave like this in the Ninth War Zone, you will definitely be shot." ”
The commander of the national army lowered his head and whispered: "I have never fought with the Japanese army, and the soldiers regard the Japanese army as a three-headed and six-armed demon king." ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "Now this big demon king is trapped by us in Zixi, his fangs have been removed, and he can only accept the trial of our long-range rocket artillery. ”
Boss Dai said with a smile: "When Master Wang retreated, all the people of Zixi were evacuated, Zixi was an empty city, and there was no food left. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "Division Commander Wang quickly pulled the team back and deployed it on both sides of the road north of Zixi, and the Japanese army in Zixi must not be allowed to take advantage of it." ”
Master Wang put down his wine glass and stood solemnly, and said loudly: "Yes! ”
Xiao Yifei raised his hand and motioned for Master Wang to sit down.
Xiao Yifei smiled at Chen Yugeng and said, "Your troops have all withdrawn from the north to the west, and follow me to attack the Japanese reinforcements. ”
Chen Yugeng nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
