Chapter 26: Battlefield Jungle (2)
Hasegawa Kiyoshi mistakenly believed that the destruction of the Kawa Brigade was caused by the Yanlong artillery attack, and in a fit of rage, he mobilized all the gunboats and carried out a carpet artillery bombardment on the high ground on the western outskirts of the Red Rose Cabaret.
The western suburbs of the highlands soon burst into smoke, and the explosion rumbled for ten miles, which made Xun Fengyu, who retreated, sweat coldly, if it were not for Liu Yi's order, the second battalion at this time was afraid that the whole army would be in danger of annihilation.
"Brigade seat, the Rotten Snake Army really shelled the highlands in the western suburbs, how did you get the news?"
"It's all based on the analysis here (Liu Yi pointed to his head), the battlefield is like a chess game, seemingly chaotic, but in fact there are rules to speak of. The western suburbs of the high ground are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place for defense, but it is a pity that we can think of it, and the enemy can also think of it, they have many ships and many guns, and they can completely cover the high ground with artillery fire, so that the military important place has become a dead place.
At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is not advisable to use a dignified array to confront the enemy, so we can only outwit the enemy, kill and wound the enemy army step by step, and wait until his strength is exhausted, and it is the time for us to counterattack. ”
"Thank you for your advice, I have been taught, in the next step, do we want to stick to the Gongda Yarn Factory?"
"No, although the Gongda Yarn Factory has a factory to use, there is a big difference in the military quality of the enemy and us, and even if we fight in the streets, we are not their opponents. Therefore, the Gongda Yarn Mill must be defended, but not stubbornly, and the real place to hold is the earthen fortifications, where we will hold out, in order to kill and wound a large number of enemies.
Alas, I am full of war strategies, but I only have hundreds of warriors, I am afraid that I have the intention to kill the thieves and eliminate the criminals, and I am unable to return to heaven to save the country! ”
"Brigade, Feng Yu is willing to lead his troops to serve the work of dogs and horses, go to the soup and fight the fire, and die a hundred times!"
"Battalion Commander Xun is worthy of the pillars of the country, if the Yanlong soldiers are selfless and brave to the country, how can they allow the little rotten snake to offend my Yanlong Shenwei! Alas, let's not talk about this, the rotten snake army is menacing right now, and it is time to make some deployments. ”
Since the capture of the Gongda Yarn Factory, Sun Wukong is responsible for the peripheral defense work, and Liu Yi, the brigade commander, is in name only, and he cannot directly command the troops at all. Now it is different, he took Xun Fengyu's second battalion, and the strength in his hands is no weaker than Sun Wukong, and unified command is imperative.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to the headquarters, Liu Yi immediately convened a meeting of the cadres of the battalions and regiments of the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police to discuss the issue of command.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Rotten Snake Army is menacing, and the slightest tilt will attack the Gongda Yarn Factory, in order to give full play to the best combat power, I sincerely hope that I can get your full support. In the past, I had to persuade Regiment Commander Sun before I could issue and implement it, so it took a lot of time, and the battlefield response capability was bound to be affected.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and without the ability to respond quickly, it is impossible to control the warplanes, so I have specially convened you to reach a consensus on this matter so that it can be unified in command. Maybe everyone will doubt my motives and mistakenly think that I, Liu Boyan, want to take advantage of the opportunity to fight for power and profit, but I don't want to refute this, because the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police is well-equipped, and any iron-blooded man wants to take it for himself.
It's a pity that I, Liu Boyan, have a light body and a small reputation, and even if I have all kinds of tricks, I don't dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the God of Wealth. ”
"Haha......"
The school officials in the audience couldn't help laughing, these are all brave men who have been in battle for a long time, and they have a deep understanding of the current political situation, and they know that what Liu Yi said is true. This honesty successfully won their favor, coupled with Liu Yi's outstanding military exploits, so that these soldiers couldn't help but fall in love.
"Brigade, we joined the Iron and Blood Brigade to kill Kou and serve the country, if you can kill the snake cub comfortably, Feng Yu is willing to listen to your orders, go to the soup and fire, and never give up!"
"Brigade seat, Gongda Yarn Factory is a regiment with a battalion, and the Red Rose Song and Dance Hall is a second battalion with you, if you let the third battalion take the lead next time, I Liu Jinpeng is also willing to obey your orders."
"Luzao, you have a life-saving grace to the battalion commander, and you are the great benefactor of our first battalion, if you are sent, Liu will do your best and die a hundred times!"
In the battle of the paint factory, An Baoqing was wounded, the first company commander died, and the second company commander Liu Anmin took advantage of the situation to act as the battalion commander, and also expressed his obedience to Liu Yi's orders, which completely emptied Sun Wukong and other regimental cadres. Even if they are unwilling, they have no choice but to choose to submit to Liu Yi, after all, if the regiment is changed to a brigade, the battalion-level cadres will definitely be promoted to the regiment-level cadres, and if they do not cooperate, they will definitely be spurned by the battalion commanders.
"Brigade, Wukong is willing to obey your orders."
"Thank you for your trust, as long as we are united, we will definitely hit the Rotten Snake Army, and the name will be forever remembered in the annals of history and admired by all generations!"
After gaining command, Liu Yi transferred all the seven special forces companies of the Fourth Tax Regiment and reorganized them into a special operations brigade with the sniper group, with Huang Zheng as the captain, and their task was to defend the Gongda Yarn Factory.
The special operations team will set up mine traps and ground power grids in the southern front positions and in the Gongda yarn factory to cover the implementation of sniper tactics.
The main force of the Iron Blood Brigade was deployed by Liu Yi in the earthen fortress position north of the Gongda Yarn Factory, which was outside the range of the guns of the Rotten Snake Warship, which could effectively avoid artillery attacks and weaken the war advantage of the Rotten Snake Army to the greatest extent.
At 3 p.m. on February 8, the Suzuki Brigade rushed to the high ground on the western outskirts of the Red Rose Cabaret, only to find that there were many shells, killing only thousands of ants, and this was not the defensive position of the Yanlong Army at all.
"Bagaya Road, the Yanlong Pig retreated so quickly, cunning and big! Suzuki Shaozuo, immediately led his troops to attack the Gongda Yarn Factory, the blood of the imperial warriors cannot be shed in vain, and the Yanlong Army will be killed! ”
"Hey, the humble duty will live up to the mission, long live the Great Rotten Snake Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
After Suzuki Mitsunobu finished blowing the empress, he immediately ordered the first squadron to fiercely attack the southern line position of the Gongda Yarn Factory under the cover of two tanks, but was hit by the double blow of treacherous mines and snipers, and after leaving hundreds of corpses, he had to retreat in a hurry.
"Report to Your Excellency General, the Yanlong Army has laid mines in a large area, and a large number of snipers have been dispatched, and our department has suffered heavy losses, so I request artillery support!"
"Baga Ya Road, useless waste!"
Rear Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi was very annoyed when he received the report, reprimanded Mitsunobu Suzuki, and immediately ordered the fleet to cover the positions on the southern front with artillery fire to clear the minefield for the marines.
The 6th squad of the special operations brigade was responsible for sniping the enemy, and the squad leader Fang Yan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the snipers to withdraw from their positions.
Ten minutes later, the enemy's artillery bombardment ended, Fang Yan reacted immediately, and immediately counted the number of people, only to find that several more soldiers were crushed and sacrificed because of the wrong posture of hiding from the artillery. This made him very sad, and a third of the team of thirty people was sacrificed in an instant, and the benefits of the Rotten Snake guns could be glimpsed from this.
The traps were all destroyed by artillery fire, and without the cover of the terrain, they lost the conditions for sniping, and Fang Yan had to lead his troops to retreat to the Gongda Yarn Factory.
"Report to the captain, who is incompetent in his position, who has lost the teaching of the brigade, and who has lost 10 brothers in one battle, please punish the commander."
"Alas, it was I who underestimated the power of the Rotten Snake ship's guns and failed to make effective defensive measures in advance. After the battle, I will ask for punishment, and you will take the brothers down to rest. ”
Huang Zheng did despise the power of the Rotten Snake cannon, and when building a defensive position, he ignored the link of anti-artillery holes, which made Fang Yan's team suffer such heavy losses. In view of the encounter of the 6th Squad, he had to readjust the deployment of troops, so that when the Rotten Snake Army bombarded the Gongda Yarn Factory, the officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade could quickly evade it.
Just when Huang Zheng was optimizing the combat deployment, Hasegawa Kiyoshi was also extremely dissatisfied with the results, and Suzuki Mitsunobu's performance made him even more angry.
"Bagaya Road, just a few Yanlong soldiers, but it costs several tons of artillery shells from the Empire, which is a shame for our Imperial Navy. Matsushita-kun, please come to the front line to command, for the attack on the Gongda yarn factory, you must fully reflect the bravery and wisdom of the imperial warriors, organize the death squad to change into the Yanlong military uniform, and use the enemy's methods to deal with the enemy, please! ”
"Hey, please be wise, Your Excellency General, go and arrange it immediately, and you will definitely outwit Gongda Yarn Factory!"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi's infiltration plan made the eyes of the chief of staff Matsushita Province shine, and if this battle can go well, maybe he can also enter the palace of generals and become a real nobleman of the empire.
With a beautiful dream, Matsushita Shozo carefully selected 70 elite soldiers, ordered them all to change into Yanlong military uniforms, and appointed Captain Yasuo Matsumoto, who could speak Yanlong, as the captain.
"Matsumoto-kun, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's hegemony, for the supreme majesty of the Great Rotten Snake Empire, and for the sake of paying tribute to the heroic souls of thousands of jade shattered brave land, please show your martial bravery, attack and occupy the Gongda Yarn Factory in one fell swoop, and kill their commanders, please!"
"Hey, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Great Rotten Snake Empire, Banzai Banza!"
"Yo Xi, I wish you all the monarchs success, capture the Gongda yarn factory in one fell swoop, and use the head of the enemy chief to pay tribute to thousands of heroic souls! His Excellency the General instructed that if this battle is won, he will report to His Majesty the Emperor and personally ask for credit for you! Imperial warriors, open up thousands of miles of waves, the empire is mighty in all directions, please! ”
"Defend! Offensive!
The Almighty Black Iron Castle,
Sincerely, I would like to thank you,
My floating castle,
Defend the Quartet of the Land of the Sun,
Offensive!
To the kingdom that hates the rising sun,
You are a truly indestructible battleship of steel.
Soot is like a serpent swaying on the sea,
The loud roar of artillery was the only thunder in the storm,
Pioneer thousands of miles of waves,
The empire is mighty in all directions. ”
Hearing his name and letting His Majesty the Emperor know, the more than 70 rotten snake soldiers couldn't help but be fanatical, and even shouted a military song, and their fierce spirit swept the sky and the earth. When night fell, Yasuo Matsumoto set out with his troops, although they were small in number, they were all elite soldiers, and they were equipped with Prussian MP28 submachine guns, once they were mixed into the Gongda Yarn Mill, their threat could not be underestimated!
