Chapter 20: No Reinforcements
After Gao Quan left the headquarters, he jumped into the back compartment of a baggage truck, lying on the roof with his two arms, holding his binoculars, and observing the entire battlefield. Jin Hu, Xiao Cai, and Red Peony stood under the truck and looked around vigilantly.
It was dark night all around, but on the battlefield, it was red. Countless shells and bullets, dragging red lights, flew all over the battlefield sky. What flew from the four sides to the middle were the bullets fired by our army at the devils in the encirclement, and the bullets that flew from the middle to the periphery were naturally the ammunition that the devils had fired. The sky over the entire battlefield is as brilliant as a huge chrysanthemum, but it is by no means as beautiful as a chrysanthemum. Every flickering light is a light of death, and no matter whether it is friend or foe, there is always life that dies with the extinguishing of the light.
Gao Quan was not in the mood to appreciate the wonders of the battlefield, the telescope in his hand was just staring closely at the middle of the battlefield, and occasionally looking into the distance a few times, that was to see if the devil had any reinforcements.
After Liu Qi left the command post of the division headquarters, he gathered several of his company commanders together, and told the tasks assigned by the division seat in detail to these generals under him, the most important thing is that Gao Quan specially mentioned the names of the two people, Noda Takeshi and Mukai Toshiaki, and asked to convey them to every soldier in the reconnaissance battalion, so that everyone could target these two devils.
Although Shizuo didn't say it explicitly, Liu Qi could guess the difference. Gao Quan didn't have much friendship with the Japanese, so he specifically named the names of these two ordinary devil soldiers, which could only be said to be provoking him. How can a devil provoke him as a **division commander? It's nothing more than killing too many people and doing too many bad things in China.
Regarding the fact that Gao Quan has been looking for news about the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division, Liu Qi actually knows. After all, Gao Quan does not have a special intelligence agency, and although scouts are different from spies, when there is no one for the time being, they can only make do with it first. These things were all taken over by Liu Qi in secret, including the newspaper in Gao Quan's leather bag.
Liu Qi's Japanese is really limited, he can't read Japanese newspapers, and he doesn't want to read what Gao Quan wants. Although he had never heard of these two names, and he did not know the great achievements made by these two "heroes of the imperial army", it did not affect the reconnaissance battalion commander to convey Gao Quan's intentions to every soldier in the reconnaissance battalion.
After a short meeting of five minutes, these powerful figures of the reconnaissance battalion immediately infiltrated into the night, surrounded by the scouts around them. After the company commanders left, as soon as Liu Qi turned around, the investigators had already brought Gao Guozhong over.
Gao Guozhong has had a really good life in the past few years, squinting into Gao Quan's division headquarters, eating and drinking all day long, and his only job is to teach some specific people to learn Japanese, such as Liu Qi, a reconnaissance battalion commander.
We don't need to say more about Liu Qi's privileges in the five hundred divisions, it's not easy for him to find someone? In particular, this matter was clearly indicated by the master's seat. So, when Captain Gao Guozhong was asleep, he was mentioned to this cold battlefield by a scout.
The fierce gunfire around made Gao Guozhong shiver, and when he saw Liu Qi's gloomy face, Gao Guozhong's heart tightened suddenly, and his round fat face suddenly turned white. What role does this Liu Qi play in the Five Hundred Division, he simply knows too well, to kill him, it is really as simple as pinching an ant to death.
For such a long time, Gao Guozhong had always considered himself a member of this collective, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered that his motherland was at war with this army, and they were hostile to each other! And he himself, too, was once a prisoner on the battlefield!
"Liu, Chief Liu, did you have something to do with me?" Although Gao Guozhong was trying his best to control himself, when he spoke, he couldn't help but have his teeth chatter a little.
"Guozhong, the troops are fighting tonight, and the division seat has an order for you, so that you can be temporarily led by me now, do you have any opinions?" Liu Qi's voice was a little cold, so cold that Gao Guozhong shivered again.
"No, no. It is Gao Guozhong's honor to serve under Chief Liu. "When Gao Guozhong signed up for the name, he always reported his full name, and he always reminded people to know that his surname was Gao, and he had the same surname as Gao Zong.
"Very well, if you want." Liu Qi's face softened. "Tonight, I want you to go with me on a mission, and the task might be a little difficult. However, as long as you work hard, the master will see it. ”
There is nothing more tempting than the last sentence, Gao Guozhong immediately stood up straight and raised his head, "Gao Guozhong promises to complete the task and promise to obey Chief Liu's orders!" ”
"Very good, you're still a little clever, boy. Let's go. As he spoke, Liu Qi patted Gao Guozhong on the shoulder, and the two walked forward side by side. Gao Guozhong instinctively wanted to be half a step behind, but let Liu Qiyi pull him to a position side by side. Walking all the way, Liu Qi said the task that Gao Quan gave him. Gao Guozhong nodded more than he listened, and only now did he know that it was such a task that he was asked to perform.
After being helped up from the ground by the guards, Daxiong Shaozuo immediately gave the order for the troops to go on the defensive. Although it was dark, it was impossible to see the number of sneak attackers. However, as an experienced officer of the Imperial Army, judging from the intensity of the gunfire and the direction from which it was fired, Shao Zuo could completely conclude that the number of these people was definitely several times that of his troops! In other words, the number of his opponents is at least a few thousand! An opponent of this scale, except for the squadron ** division and above troops, will not be anything else at all!
Ten minutes later, the defense of the third brigade began to struggle, there was no way, the firepower of the squadron was too fierce! Since the cavalry was chasing along the way, the artillery squadron of the 3rd Brigade did not follow, and the largest caliber in the unit was only a few mortars. Grenadier canisters are generally equipped with a lot, but with these firepower alone, it is obviously not enough to compete with the surrounding squadrons!
Call, call for reinforcements! Call to His Excellency Osa! Call the Aviation! With his most miserable cry, Dakuma Shaosa asked for assistance from his Katagiri Daisa, and it seemed that if the reinforcements were a second late, he and his brigade would collectively sacrifice their lives for the country.
After listening silently to the cry of his loyal subordinates, Katagiri Daisa was silent for a moment, and told him in a very calm tone that the reinforcements would not come for the time being, and Osa hoped that Ursa Shaosa could cheer up the majesty of the emperor and samurai and lead the troops to forcibly break through, and Osa would wait for his good news. As for the air force, since it is the middle of the night, it is unlikely that the air force will appear until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
It's not that Katagiri Osa is unemotional, but Osa is now involuntarily. Sun Lianzhong's Second Army had already pressed over from the north, and the 16th Division must be on full alert, and no wing could move casually until it engaged the Second Army and did not know Sun Lianzhong's strength. Big Bear Shaozuo can only rely on his own strength to break through now.
