Chapter Ninety-Eight: Changing the Direction of the Attack

With the incorporation of such a Japanese army, there is no way to hide it from anyone, and Gao Quan can't hide it even if he wants to. Now he really doesn't have the leisure to take care of these devils, let Shi Lei pull out a company from the reconnaissance group, plus the military guard company sent some people over, just watch these devils don't make a mess first.

Call Sun Yuanqing on the front line and tell Commander Sun, now that you have such a special detachment under your command, let him come over and take people away when he is free. As for the ideological transformation of these Japanese soldiers, it will be Sun Yuanqing's business from now on. With Commander Sun's many years of experience in leading troops, it should be no problem to do such a trivial matter.

The situation on the battlefield was very clear, and several brigades of the 500th Army cut off the connection between the 13th Wing and the follow-up troops, which was obviously a bad posture. Okamoto Hoyuki Osa felt the deepest in the middle of the encirclement.

If it was the thirteenth wing in its heyday, although it was not said that it could be at ease, at least with the advantage of weapons and the quality of soldiers, Okamoto Osa was really sure to take his wing to find a gap to run out of the encirclement. This kind of thing is not once or twice, and there are often examples of Japanese wings, brigades, and even division-level troops being surrounded by our army, but every time the devils rely on sharp ground-to-air firepower to finally rush out of the middle of the encirclement.

The Third Division at the time of the Battle of Zaoyi was surrounded by more than 100,000 troops of Sun Lianzhong and Tang Enbo on all sides in the Xiangdong Plain. Just ten days ago, the 13th Wing was surrounded by our four main divisions at the foot of Dayun Mountain. After ten days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army continued to send ground and air reinforcements, and although Okamoto Hoyuki's wing was finally taken out of the encirclement, the 13th Wing also suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for Lieutenant General Kanda's later replenishment of a group of new forces to Okamoto Daisa, I am afraid that the 13th Wing would have withdrawn from this battle at that time.

The veterans who were added were also different from the original soldiers in the army. What's more, the Thirteenth Wing lost so many people, even if Kanda Zhengzhong replenished it, he didn't make up for it. Such a wing, which was not originally complete, and after two days of fighting with the 74th Army, which was extremely armed and terrifying in combat effectiveness, it is conceivable how much capital Captain Okamoto still has on hand.

The devil air force can airdrop weapons and food supplies, but he can't airdrop soldiers! The devil's expensive airborne troops are not here to serve as reservists for the 13th Wing.

Knowing that the 13th Wing was once again in trouble, Okamoto Osa sent a telegram to Major General Shikai, Lieutenant General Kanda, and Commander Anan Yuki of the 11th Army asking for reinforcements, while directing his troops to desperately find a way to survive and rush out.

It is no longer the same as at the beginning of the war, when all the troops were gathering on the battlefield. The Japanese army had a steady stream of troops moving to the battlefield, and there were a steady stream of reinforcements to rescue him. But now? Now that most of the Japanese army is attacking in the direction of Changsha, the Japanese commanders are proud to go to Changsha City to walk the streets, who has the time to deal with him, an unlucky guy trapped on the side battlefield? He must save himself!

The front is unshakable, the oncoming 201 Brigade is too difficult to bite, plus the mobile detachment and special service group brought up by Secretary Wu, if Okamoto Hoyuki hits it hard, it is basically the same as suicide. The special brigade on the right flank had already gone around to the flank, and on the left was the Laodao River. Although the river is not too wide and not too deep, judging from the average height of the devils, the possibility of falling into it and drowning is still a bit high!

It was still Lieutenant General Fangtaro Toyoda who was more anxious for justice and righteousness, and when the 13th Wing was in trouble again, the 3rd Division actually sent reinforcements! Osa Okamoto, who got the news, burst into tears at that time, and it was really touching that General Toyota, who could be rated as a model soldier in the new era!

The 1st Brigade continued to attack forward, keeping the pressure on the frontal Chinese troops; The third brigade after the break entangled the Chinese unit behind; Wing Commander Okamoto personally led the remaining two brigades and the direct team of the wing to attack on the right flank, and he was going to join the reinforcements of the 3rd Division! Although there is only one reinforcement brigade for reinforcements, there is a way to survive over there!

The devil army has turned! The first to be discovered was the Special Brigade. Liu Qi was entangled with the third brigade in the back, he had a brigade under his command, and the devil was only half a brigade less, even if the devil's combat ability was strong, the strength under Brigade Commander Liu would not be exhausted. Personally led a regiment of soldiers and the third brigade of devils to fight slowly on the position, and sent out a battalion to monitor the right flank of the devils, Liu Qi was also worried that the devil dog jumped over the wall and turned around and escaped!

As soon as Okamoto Daisa and his troops turned to the right, they were spotted by the battalion of the Special Brigade. Liu Qi handed over the matter to Cai Feng and ordered Commander Cai to end the battle as soon as possible, and he personally led the rest of the special brigade to rush over for reinforcements at the speed of a rapid march. There is only one battalion blocking the gap over there, but the devil has two brigades and a wing headquarters, counting the direct team of the wing, there are at least more than 1,000 devils, and it is better to have more than 2,000! A battalion, four or five hundred soldiers of our army against a thousand or two thousand devils, this battle does not sound like a good thing!

Liu Qi's estimate of the enemy situation is still not very accurate. The Third Brigade, which is at the junction of the two armies before and after the devil, is said to be a brigade, but in fact, their current combat effectiveness is completely inconsistent with a regular Japanese army field brigade.

A full-fledged Japanese field brigade consisted of 12,300 people, with artillery squads, machine gun squadrons, transport squadrons, and four infantry squadrons in between. Just like a bull full of strength, if you bow your head and exert yourself in one place, even if you have a division and a brigade, it will be a little difficult for our army to deal with it. But the current Third Brigade is not like that at all.

After the Battle of Dayun Mountain, the third brigade had already suffered nearly half of its casualties, although it was later replenished with one or two hundred people, but it was much worse than the original. The unfortunate 3rd Brigade was left to the last of the wing to take up the task of breaking off, first by the artillery regiment of the 500th Army, and then by the artillery of the special brigade. In addition, the special brigade of Brigade Commander Liu fought for another half a day, and now there are only four or five hundred soldiers on hand at the full number of Oshima Shaoza. It sounds like a lot, but among the four or five hundred devils, as soon as the light and serious wounded are removed, there are more than 100 people who are not lacking armor or scales.

Although the regiment led by Cai Feng also had some casualties, there were 14,500 soldiers in the whole regiment! At first, they were playing slowly with the devils, but both sides didn't make much effort, and Liu Qi and Cai Feng didn't see the true strength of these devils. Liu Qi wanted to lead the troops to change places and fight, so he handed over this group of devils to Xiao Cai alone. Of course, Commander Cai has no interest in continuing to play with the devil, and he is also annoyed by this kind of painless battle.

Beat! The three battalions, plus the teams directly under the regimental headquarters, are all on board! Commander Cai, who felt that fighting like this was not enjoyable, wanted to fight the battle lively.
