Chapter 45: Division of Troops
Since the Battle of Xinkou began, Lieutenant General Itagaki hasn't slept a good night's sleep for many days. This morning, the mechanized infantry wing of the 1st Brigade finally arrived at the battlefield, and it was a foregone conclusion that victory had become a foregone conclusion.
Seeing that if he continued to stay up, he might die of overwork, so His Excellency the Lieutenant General hid in the temporary lounge and planned to sleep secretly. I didn't expect to be woken up again just after falling asleep!
Listening to the gunshots, it was quite close, and it seemed that the guns were fired in this village. Could it be that the Chinese army has come in? The old devil put on his military uniform in a panic, picked up his leather boots, and looked at his watch, it was less than two hours since he fell asleep!
"Report to the general, the division headquarters has been attacked by the enemy!" Ichiro Ono, the adjutant of the division headquarters, broke into the rest room of His Excellency the General.
Seishiro Itagaki was a spirit, and half of his boots fell to the ground, and when he picked them up and put them on again, he wore them on the wrong foot. The orderlies who heard the news hurriedly came over to help His Excellency the general tie his buttons, hang up his sabers, and take his military cap.
Lieutenant General Sakagaki stood up, "How many people are coming from the Shina Army?" Where have they hit now? "This is a key issue, if the people are already dozens of meters away from here, General Sakagaki will have to quickly think about how to escape with his guards.
"There are about twenty dead soldiers who have entered the village, and most of them have been wiped out by the imperial army. But there were still others who escaped! Judging from the humble position, it is very likely that the people of China will have follow-up troops approaching the headquarters of our division, please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
"Eight Tooth Road!" Seishiro Itagaki could no longer suppress the negative emotions such as fear and anger brought about by being awakened in his sleep, and took a step forward and raised his hand to slap this hateful lieutenant! Just a few soldiers who came over by chance let him be scared like this, if he was given an infantry brigade and let him go to the front, this guy would not be scared to death?
Sensing the wrath of His Excellency the General, the adjutant stood there with his head bowed and did not dare to move. In the Japanese army, it was a tradition for subordinates to be used as punching bags by their superiors, and it was not uncommon for them to be slapped in the face, spit out a few mouthfuls of phlegm, and even be abused in some way that could not be told to outsiders.
However, today's events were a bit abnormal, just when the adjutant of the young lieutenant lowered his head and waited to be beaten, the imaginary pain did not wait, but heard a few exclamations followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and something overturning.
Adjutant Shaozuo hurriedly looked up and saw Lieutenant General Itagaki sitting on the ground with a wet shirt on his uniform. An overturned urinal was thrown into the ground next to it, and an unknown liquid seemed to be flowing out of it. It seems that His Excellency the General didn't stop him just now, but he didn't know how to slip and knocked over the urinal.
"General!" Shao Zuo let out a sad cry, grabbed General Sakagaki in two steps and dragged him up, and the two orderlies also helped together on the side. The three of them worked together, and with a little effort on his own, they finally stood up. However, the smell of the lieutenant general is really flattering.
"Huhu-" Itagaki Seishiro stood there and took a few breaths, looked down at his feet, and his two toes were parted on both sides, it turned out that he was wearing the wrong shoes just now!
Although this wrestling was a bit wolf, it also woke up Seishiro Itagaki . He didn't have the idea of continuing to beat the adjutant at this time, but sat down honestly, let the orderly change him into a new military uniform, and then turn the boots on his feet upside down.
"Yamamoto-kun, you go and pass on my order to let the troops strengthen their guard. The chariot brigade entered a state of alert around the division and regiment headquarters, and the garrison brigade directly under the division and regiment headquarters was ready to meet the battle. Order the 2nd Brigade of the Hiroshima Wing to immediately move closer to the division headquarters! ”
The Fifth Division, also known as the Hiroshima Division, was officially designated as the Fifth Division in 1888 in Hiroshima Town. The 11th Wing was recruited from Hiroshima Prefecture. Therefore, from the day the division was formed, the 11th Wing was the first main wing of the division!
A main infantry brigade was transferred from the 11th Wing, plus the garrison brigade and tank brigade of the division and regiment headquarters, and it is estimated that if the Chinese army wants to break through the division and regiment headquarters, at least two divisions will have to be sent!
"Hey!" The adjutant of Shaozo saluted and turned away.
But Lieutenant General Itagaki always felt that the smell on his body was too bad, so he couldn't go out to meet people! Just let the orderly go and fetch hot water, he plans to wash it well.
Hu Fei heard Gou Tianxiao talk about the general situation in the village, and he was a little in a dilemma. There are obviously a large number of devils hiding in the village, and if you pounce on it, you will probably be bitten by the devils! But if he turned around and left without firing a shot, Hu Fei was still a little unwilling!
"Hit!" After thinking about it for a while, Hu Fei finally decided to fight! However, this battle is a fight, but this battle is not a swarm of all troops rushing to fight in groups. Hu Fei ordered the infantry troops to go first! He's going to lead the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the devils in the village!
Chief of Staff Liu Dong took the supplementary company, the medical team, and the baggage team, and left now. After Hu Fei led the cavalry troops to raid the devils, he chased them from behind. The cavalry ran fast, and it was estimated that it would not take long for the two armies to reunite.
"Take care!" Liu Dong solemnly saluted Hu Fei, then turned around and strode down. Hundreds of sturdy warriors formed a torrent and rolled forward. Among them was a large cart, which was the vehicle of the baggage team and the medical team.
When one of the big cars passed in front of Hu Fei, the curtain suddenly lifted, revealing a delicate and detailed face inside, which was Xu Yajun, a telegraph operator of the cavalry brigade.
Seeing this beautiful girl Hu Fei suddenly felt in a good mood, he immediately opened his mouth and said something to Xu Yajun silently, in fact, even he didn't know what he meant, but his mouth moved. Then he made a running starter, as if he was about to chase and jump on the big car.
Xu Yajun exclaimed in surprise, opened her mouth wide, and opened her eyes, obviously she thought that Hu Fei was really going to chase after her and ride in the same car with her. Just when Xu Yajun was panicking and anxious, the cart slowly walked away, Hu Fei naturally didn't squeeze into the cart, he had to stay here to participate in the battle.
It wasn't until the infantry and the large convoy walked away that they couldn't even see the shadows, and Hu Fei ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest! After another two hours of stopping, the village seemed calmer. Hu Fei turned over the war horse, pointed forward with the ghost head knife in his hand, and killed! Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the hidden woods in an instant, roaring and rushing towards the village where the devil's army was inhabited!
A thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, and suddenly a tank drove out of the village! Followed by the second and third, the devil infantry also poured out of the village like a tide. The red light flashed, and with a "boom", the devil tank fired! In the smoke of gunpowder, several knights were knocked down on their backs.
