Originally, I just wanted to raise some food and complete the tasks explained above, and by the way, I knocked and tested the reaction of the Xinghua Army. But the commander of the Japanese brigade stationed in Saigon never thought that things would become so tricky.

The benefits were not reaped, but they were put into an infantry brigade. After receiving the telegram from the infantry brigade asking for help, the commander of the Japanese brigade was really dumbfounded, and he couldn't understand why the Xinghua Army could react so quickly.

Even if a staff officer directly proposes it, the plan they formulated is very likely to be known in advance by the Xinghua Army. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Xinghua Army to react so quickly. After all, the speed of the Japanese army's dispatch is not slow!

I just want to find out how the Xinghua Army learned the news, and I'm afraid that there is no hope for a short time. At the moment, there are two options for the Japanese army in Saigon. One is to send reinforcements to continue to expand the war.

Another option is to suffer a dumb loss and negotiate to see if this conflict can be resolved. But if you really do this, it will indeed damage the majesty of the Imperial Japanese Army a little too much!

While ordering the assembly of an infantry wing to stand by, the commander of the infantry brigade also sent a telegram to the upper authorities asking for instructions. It didn't take long for the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces stationed in Burma to send back a telegram with all his efforts to suppress and stabilize the situation there.

According to the information available so far, in order to rescue the Chinese living in the embankment, the Xinghua Army dispatched about a regiment of troops. This means that the hidden troops of the Xinghua Army in the local area should basically all come out.

In the eyes of the Japanese commanders in Burma, such an opportunity was rare. If these Xinghua troops are hiding in the jungle, if the Japanese army wants to clear them, it will naturally be difficult. Now that you can get out of the jungle, it's much easier to clean up.

The most important thing is that this time the Xinghua Army was so arrogant that it dared to confront the Japanese troops stationed in Saigon, which was beyond the tolerance of the Japanese army. After all, in the eyes of the Burmese commanders, this was not the South Seas but the French Indochina colony.

If the Japanese army retreats this time, the Xinghua army will inevitably become more arrogant in the future. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the commander of the Japanese army in charge of the French Indochina theater finally ordered to encircle and suppress the Xinghua army that resisted the Japanese army.

In the opinion of the Japanese commander, the strength of an infantry brigade should have no problem against a regiment-sized rebel. Even the commander ordered Saigon that the battle must be resolved quickly.

With such clear instructions, the commander of the infantry brigade quickly said: "Order the 45th Infantry Wing to completely annihilate the rebels who have fled to the embankment and continue to carry out the combat mission of clearing Chinatown earlier." ”

With the order of the supreme commander of the Saigon area, the infantry wing, which had completed its assembly, once again headed for the territory of the embankment. It's just that as soon as this infantry wing left, there were not many Japanese troops left guarding Saigon.

Zhao Tiehu, who was staying at the temporary headquarters of the First Division, received a telegram from the Wolf Nose Intelligence Team, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devils really want to fight with us, and I hope they can hold on next."

Wu Hao, you're ready to go! When the ambush of the 2nd Regiment begins, you will attack Saigon. The little devil has always felt that our Xinghua Army is better at fighting at night, so today you will show the little devil the combat effectiveness of our main force.

With me on the command side, you can rest assured that you can command the battle on the front line. Strive to end the war in Saigon before Lao Chen comes. If the little devils knew that Saigon had been reclaimed by us, they would not be able to sit still! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief! One division, guaranteed to complete the mission! ”

"Go ahead! Be careful, you're already the division commander, don't be like before, go into battle in person at every turn. One more thing to note, beware of the air force of the little devils. The location of the headquarters must be well hidden, understand? ”

"Yes, thank you Commander-in-Chief, I'll be careful!"

As Zhao Tiehu's old subordinate, Wu Hao also felt warm in his heart for Zhao Tiehu's advice. Even after becoming a division commander, it is indeed not as easy as before to go into battle in person. But he knew that it was also for his safety.

In fact, in the entire Xinghua Army and the Wolf Warriors, who doesn't know that Zhao Tiehu is the real militant. But as Zhao Tiehu's importance grew, many times Zhao Tiehu didn't even have the opportunity to go to the front line.

If you really want to talk about uncomfortable, it is estimated that the most uncomfortable must be Zhao Tiehu!

By the time the infantry wing of Saigon had left the city, with the cooperation of several transport vehicles, it was quickly moving towards the embankment area. The 1st division and 1st regiment stationed on the embankment have taken over the defense of the embankment.

After daybreak, the 1st Division and 1st Regiment also received a telegram from the division commander informing them that an infantry wing was advancing towards them. It's just that the head of the regiment who saw this telegram looked a little regretful.

"Alas, with the temper of the king, this infantry wing, it is estimated that I will not be able to make any oil and water. Never mind! This piece of fat will be left to them for the second group, and it is only right that we handle the matter here.

By my order, we began to post security notices and implement a curfew policy. In addition, a main battalion was sent to Chinatown to help the villagers clean up their houses. Tell the fellows of Chinatown to take care of the air raids of the little devils. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

According to the combat order issued by Zhao Tiehu earlier, after the first regiment took the embankment area, it did not need to participate in the follow-up battle. The first thing to do is to manage the embankment, and a regiment will be stationed here for some time.

If there is a need for a regiment to be dispatched, there will naturally be corresponding combat orders and instructions from above. Therefore, the next thing to be done by Yiqun is to restore stability and order in the embankment area as soon as possible.

Even in order to appease the people living here, Zhao Tiehu also gave a lot of food indicators. With these food indicators, residents of small towns who live more difficult than the Chinese can also buy food that is as cheap as the Chinese in the past.

When the time comes, I believe that the people of the small city will also understand whether to support the little devils or the Xinghua Army. With the support of the people, if the Xinghua Army wants to control the embankment next, there will naturally be no problems.

Because the distance between the two places was not too far, even the infantry wing that rushed to support was also worried that it might be harassed by the Xinghua army on the way. In fact, this speculation of the Japanese army was also normal, and the troops encountered mines not long after they left the city.

As the sappers stepped forward to clear the mines, the commander of the infantry wing, who commanded the operation, watched as the outposts were attacked from time to time. He also said in a timely manner: "Order the troops to speed up and advance, these raiding troops are delaying our time!" ”

"Hey!"

In this case, the Japanese quickly strengthened the size of the outposts, advancing quickly under the cover of cars. Just as the infantry wing was about to arrive on the embankment, the 2nd Regiment, which had been waiting for a long time, was also ready for an ambush.

Staying behind the position of the Second Regiment, in an inconspicuous small valley, the commander of the Second Regiment was also very curious: "Is this cannon very powerful?" Look at this caliber is not small, but how far can this thing fly? ”

"Commander Wang, shouldn't you be on the battlefield at this time?"

"It's okay! It's only a few steps, just wait for the battle to start and then run over. What's more, I have already given the order, and the sound of your artillery is the sound of our war. I want to see what kind of magic this cannon has, the commander has been greedy for a long time! ”

"Then you're good to go! Also, this is a rocket launcher, which is different from ordinary artillery! If it weren't for the special approval of the commander-in-chief, it is estimated that these rocket launchers would not be your turn in the war zone. However, don't think about this rocket artillery. ”

"Why?"

"There are not many rocket artillery pieces in number, and each main division has to apply for a report! Even if these rocket launchers remain in your division, it is estimated that they will be equipped to the division headquarters, and it is impossible to assign them to the regimental headquarters. So, just take a look! ”

The squad leader who is responsible for operating the rocket artillery, facing this greedy main regiment commander, also knows that this kind of rocket artillery is the killer weapon of the Xinghua Army at present. Even if it is to be equipped with troops, it can only be installed in the sequence of divisional artillery regiments.

While the two were chatting, the sentry who was in charge of observing the Japanese army also said in a timely manner: "Captain, the devil has entered the ambush area!" Looking at the appearance of the little devil, he doesn't seem to be on guard, and the speed is going fast! ”

"It's okay! No matter how fast they run, they can't outrun our shells! All gun emplacements are ready, listen to my orders, and fire! ”

After the artillery captain adjusted the angle of the artillery slightly according to the number and position of the little devils reported by the sentry, the four rocket launchers immediately fired. One rocket after another roared out, heading straight for the little devil where the shells landed.

The second head of the regiment, who was watching this scene on the sidelines, opened his eyes and said, "My old lady!" This cannonball is going out too fast, right? This little steel cannon looks really fierce! ”

Looking at the regiment commander who was staying in the artillery position in a daze, the guard who stayed next to him smiled bitterly and said: "Regiment commander, it's time to go to the position!" ”

"What! The little devils are already in the trap, and they can't run! Walk! This cannon is really good, I will definitely send a telegram to the division commander later, and ask the commander-in-chief to allocate a few more guns to our division. It looks inconspicuous, but the fight is so fierce! ”

By the time the commander of the second regiment returned to the ambush position, the battalions had already exchanged fire with the little devils on the road. For the sudden ambush, the infantry wing that rushed to the embankment to reinforce was really caught off guard.

But more of them were stunned by the sudden and fierce artillery fire. Four rocket launchers, in less than a minute, poured forty-eight shells at the Japanese troops on the march.

Such a fierce artillery attack made the Japanese troops on the march have no time to dodge, and can only dodge the artillery fire in a hurry. In this case, in the jungle on both sides of the road, there was a sudden burst of heavy gunfire.

Under the double blow, the corpses of Japanese soldiers who were killed and killed by the bombing could be seen everywhere on the road. The infantry wing, which had arrived from Saigon, was almost crippled before it reached its destination.

It was clear that by the time the 2nd Regiment sounded the trumpet to attack the road, it seemed that the battle was almost over. The destruction of this infantry wing will also lead to a devastating blow to the Japanese brigades stationed in Saigon!
