Chapter 40: Driving Ghosts into the Poor Alleys

The remaining seven or eight hundred remnants of the Devil's Fifteenth Brigade were defeated, and they were finally driven to the position reserved for them by Gao Quan.

When he arrived here, Noda Shaoza understood why the squadron had to work so hard to invite them to this river beach. The gravel floor of the riverbank was full of ambushes and mechanisms, as if a group of over-energetic children had completely rearranged the rocks in order to play a prank.

Not to mention that the Japanese soldiers walked and walked, and inexplicably fell into a trap that suddenly appeared, or one foot was empty, and the horse was thrown on his stomach, the wheel of the cannon was stuck in a pit and could not be pulled out, and the horse pulling the cart was broken with its hooves, just talk about himself.

Everyone knows that His Excellency Shao Zuo, out of love for his own life, has always been in the only armored combat vehicle in the whole brigade. The vehicle is semi-tracked, which means that its off-road performance is quite good, and ordinary small potholes and small puddles cannot block its path at all. In such a powerful chariot, he didn't pay attention, and it can't be said that the driver didn't pay attention, even if he paid attention, he didn't have a rut, and when he was walking on the gravel floor, which was not smooth, but still walkable, the front half of the car suddenly went down. The sudden feeling of weightlessness frightened Shao Zuo to grab the handle in the car, his little face turned pale, his heart beat faster, and it took a long time to ease up.

The car couldn't be driven, and Shao Zuo and the crew came out to see that the two front wheels of the car were completely suspended, and the front half of the armored car was trapped in an irregular cave with a maximum inner diameter of more than three meters. This cave is obviously covered with a thin layer of stone slabs, and it is okay for people to walk up, whether it is an armored car, or an artillery car, or a mule and horse-drawn cart, as long as this kind of heavy vehicle passes, this stone slab with an average thickness of only one centimeter will definitely break, and the people and equipment passing through it will all fall into this bottomless pit without exception. That is, his armored car is too big, so it was stuck in the middle, and if he was replaced by a smaller guy, he might be planted at the bottom of the hole! Shao Zuo looked at this bottomless black hole, which seemed to be still bubbling out with bursts of cold air, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the sticky back was already shocked into a cold sweat.

The Chinese are trying to force him to a dead end! Noda Shaosa is a brave emperor samurai, he is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and he is not afraid of carrying explosives and dying with the enemy, but in the face of falling into the bottomless crypt and dying, this bizarre way of death, Shaosa is really scared.

This place is a place of death! When Noda realized this, he immediately ordered his troops to assemble! The troops can no longer be dispersed, there are dangers everywhere, and only when everyone is huddled together seems to be able to effectively reduce the risk. At the same time, Shao Zuo, who had never shown weakness in his life, was also helpless to ask his general, Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, the commander of the Third Division, for rescue. Since the transfer of the 15th Brigade to the Airport Guard, he has been directly responsible to Lieutenant General Fujita himself. Although the Sixth Wing is his superior, now that the Wing is preparing for the general attack on Xinyang with the division and regimental headquarters, it is impossible to draw troops to rescue him.

The airport is close to it, and it is the area he is responsible for guarding, and Noda will certainly not forget to ask the air force for support. If you are ridiculed, you will be laughed at, why do you have to save your life first. Under the premise that life is at stake, the face problem is negligible.

After the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army conquered Luoshan, it rushed all the way and directly killed Xinyang, where Chief Hu was located. Hu Zongnan commanded the First Army of which Tao Zhiyue was the commander and the 45th Army of the Sichuan Army under Chen Dingxun to carry out intermediate volleys and detour tactics on both sides, encircling the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Invaders between Luoshan and Xinyang, and launching a general attack on the Japanese Invaders, a brigade with no one in their eyes and a light enemy. After several days of bloody fighting, this group of Japanese invaders has been beaten to half-crippled, so they are waiting to make persistent efforts and annihilate this brigade in one go, so as to create another great victory after the great victory in Taierzhuang.

After the astonishing news of the siege of the Japanese Eighth Brigade reached the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army, the commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Minoru Minoru, urgently ordered all the remaining troops of the 10th Division, as well as the 3rd Division of Lieutenant General Fujita Susuru, and the tank wing of Iwanaka Yoshiharu Osa, to rush to Luoshan to rescue the remnants of the besieged 8th Brigade.

When Noda Shaosa's telegram for help was sent to the division headquarters, Lieutenant General Fujita was dispatching troops and preparing to lead his troops to rescue Major General Okada, who had fallen home.

Ever since Noda and his 15th Brigade were put at that airport, Lieutenant General Fujita has never that airport's mind again. Like Noda Shaosa, the lieutenant general was also full of confidence in the 15th Brigade, believing that there was no squadron ** team that could fight his idea of the airport in front of the 15th Brigade, and with the 15th Brigade, his 7th Flying Wing would be as foolproof as being put in a safe.

After suddenly receiving a telegram from the 14th Brigade asking for help, Lieutenant General Fujita, like most people, first wondered if the news had been sent by mistake. In the face of the coming fierce battle, the lieutenant general cannot afford to be careless. The opponent that the 3rd Division will face is China's 1st Army, or is it preparing for an unprecedented victory, China's 1st Ace Army. It's like an old cat guarding food. You see a big cat is eating fish, want to touch it, the big cat first Ulu Ulu warned, if you still have to reach out, sorry, the big cat's fangs and claws will be exposed immediately, usually look very docile old cat, at this time is definitely a terrifying existence, a careless, will be bitten by it.

Old cats are so scary, and the First Army is an existence that is countless times more terrifying than the big tiger. In the face of such an army, which is in extreme danger, it is obviously self-deception to say that Lieutenant General Fujita is not nervous at all. In the Battle of Wuhan, both China and Japan had already invested all the forces they could, and the Third Division and the Tenth Division were all the forces that the Japanese army could invest in the Battle of Xinyang, and it was impossible for them to increase the strength of even one brigade or regiment in the Battle of Xinyang, whether they could defeat the Chinese First Army and defeat Hu Zongnan, it was up to the two division commanders, Lieutenant General Fujita Shinsuru and Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka of the 10th Division.

At this critical time, Noda Hiroki sent a telegram asking for help, how could he not panic General Fujita's heart? If nothing else, just rushing at his Seventh Flying Wing, Lieutenant General Fujita couldn't help but be nervous. According to the order of the army headquarters, he will have a decisive battle with the First Army in the next step, and at this critical moment, if his flying wing has a problem and loses air support, will he be able to take the First Army at that time, and after defeating this powerful enemy, what price will the Third Division pay, Lieutenant General Fujita has no bottom in his heart.

To be on the safe side, Lieutenant General Fujita, who had always been resolute, sent another telegram to Noda Shaosa of the 15th Brigade to confirm the accuracy of the information he had reported. The fact that such an extremely substandard incident happened to a dignified commander of a lieutenant general's division shows how much Fujita Jin attaches importance to this airport and the 15 th Brigade.
