"Hold on! Hold on! Ozawa-kun! For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! You have to hold your ground! Hold your ground! Miyamoto Youren is now anxiously listening to the losses reported by his second-line troops, and when he heard what Ozawa Kazuhiro said on the phone, he suppressed his anger and soothed: "Relying on strong fortifications, as long as you hold on for another 2 hours, my troops can rush to your flank!" ”

Almost an hour earlier, when Kazuhiro Ozawa asked for support from Miyamoto, Miyamoto promised him reinforcements that would arrive within two hours. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now Miyamoto Yuren's troops are still two hours away from the front line, which makes Ozawa Kazuhiro want to scold the street a little - after a long time, your troops haven't taken a single step, right?

"Two more hours? Your Excellency, Commander! My troops are now suffering heavy losses, and the whole line may collapse at any time, and if you delay at this time, you will really lose the defense line of the Yalu River! At this time, Ozawa Kazuhiro couldn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, the back of the hand holding the phone receiver was bruised, and the tone of his voice changed.

Miyamoto Yuhito, who was stunned by the report of the commander of the second-line armored forces, Ota Ohno, at this time, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his voice and persuaded with good words: "Ozawa-kun...... You must hold your ground until my reinforcements arrive at the predetermined position, this is a battle related to the fortunes of the Great Japanese Empire, please be sure to carry forward the traditional samurai spirit of the ancient sages, and at the end of this battle, I will personally apologize to the 17th Division. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander...... My troops really can't hold out anymore! Please allow me to retreat, enter the defensive position of the 5th Division, and rest ......" Ozawa Kazuhiro has no way now, if he wants the 17th Division to continue fighting, then he can only get out of the battle and rest to boost his morale before he can fight again, so after a little hesitation, he proposed such a solution.

However, this was tantamount to a complete failure for Miyamoto's plan - the Ming army seized a wider Yalu River defensive line and occupied a larger river crossing, the interference and artillery bombardment effect of the Japanese artillery hidden in the mountains would be weakened, and the main force of the Ming army would begin to advance into the depth of the Japanese army.

In this way, the Japanese armored forces would collide with the Ming armored forces on the way. Miyamoto Yuhito's original plan of "attacking the enemy of Hanto" will be embarrassed to "meet the enemy army on the plain". The Japanese army's precious armored forces would have suffered even greater losses, and in any case, Miyamoto could not afford such terrible losses.

Because this loss would make the Japanese army lose the ability to fight back, the Ming Empire would gain a foothold on the Korean Peninsula. When it comes to the overall strength of the follow-up troops, how dare Japan compare with the Ming Empire? Fighting for consumption is a situation that Miyamoto Yuhito tries to avoid, and it is also the situation that everyone in Japan does not want to see.

Miyamoto Youren thought of this, so he could only interrupt Ozawa Kazuhiro's words, and cheekily continued to ask Ozawa Kazuhiro on the other side of the phone: "Ozawa-kun...... You can't give up a position...... Now between us and the Ming Empire, it is the time to compete for the last breath, and as soon as you retreat, you will be deflated, and we will lose this war! ”

Ozawa Kazuhiro was interrupted by Miyamoto Yuhito, and his heart was even more depressed: Is he a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death and wants to retreat as soon as he comes into contact with the Ming army? The 17th Division under his command was at the forefront of the battle between the two sides, and it lasted so long in one fight. At this time, his troops held their positions, fought to the death, suffered heavy losses, and looked like they were about to be wiped out here!

But the other party still wants him to insist, what does he use to insist? The Ming army attacked more troops than once, and the artillery fire pouring down his head became more and more fierce each time, and the morale was already low to the extreme, and the reinforcements were far away...... Is all this a situation where you can persist if you say persistence with your mouth?

You, Miyamoto Youren, were going to deploy the main force to the second-line position, but now there is such a big mistake, and it is difficult for the strongman, and the victory or defeat of a war is forced to be on the 17th Division, which was originally used as cannon fodder, Ozawa Kazuhiro really wants to scold: What the hell are you going to do with your face?

Thinking that it was also a knife to stretch out his head and a knife to shrink his head, Ozawa Kazuhiro also suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Miyamoto Yuhito: "I will not spare my life if I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor...... But the future of the Japanese Empire can only depend on you, Your Excellency, the General. ”

After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Miyamoto to say anything more. It is a matter of life and death for the Japanese Empire, and he does not carry this black pot with the 17th Division! Thinking of this, he glanced at the adjutant beside him, who was already looking desperate, and commanded: "Reinforcements will arrive in 1 hour, understand?" ”

The adjutant swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded, and understood what Kazuhiro Ozawa meant—if reinforcements were told that reinforcements would not come, the 17th Division might be wiped out in an instant. But if they give their men hope, maybe a miracle will happen, and it will be the means of the man who leads the army, and it can turn the tide of the battle in the end.

Seeing the other party taking the order, Ozawa Kazuhiro looked at the "plaster flag" that symbolized Japan hanging above the headquarters, gritted his teeth and strengthened his determination. You can die here, drag the Ming Empire to win a fateful victory for the distant homeland, and die in the country, what is there to fear!

Ozawa Kazuhiro here tried to buy more time for the Japanese Empire, and Miyamoto Yuren grabbed the phone in front of him in a hurry to call the commander of the Army Aviation Front Command: "I'm Miyamoto Yuren!" The front line is on the verge of collapse, all because of your incompetence! Someone will be held accountable after the war...... Right now! No matter what the cost, take off all the planes and interfere with the bombing of the Ming army! Immediately! ”

Now the bomber units of the Ming Empire's air force are unscrupulously destroying the Japanese army's highway transportation lines, blowing up the Japanese trucks along the way, and destroying the war horses and artillery dragged behind the carriages, creating countless troubles for the main force of the second line of the Japanese army.

The size of the losses is not mentioned for the time being, just in order to avoid the air force of the Ming Empire, it had to be dispersed frequently, and the slow march of the Japanese army caused by this was enough to tilt the balance of the war to the side of the Ming Empire.

Just now, the bombers dispatched by the Ming army destroyed the villages and counties of Sanjuli, Guipingli, Longyuan and Guangchuanli, which were important transportation nodes for the Japanese army, and once again paralyzed the reinforced Japanese army in the middle of the road.

Miyamoto Yuhito's henchman, one of the most elite units of the Japanese army, the division commander of the 2nd Division, Ota Ohno, just reported the damage to the road by radio, his Type 91 tanks lost seven or eight units, and the entire army was suppressed by the Ming army's planes in the middle of the road, and could only advance a distance of one or two kilometers in an hour.

At this rate, Miyamoto Yuhito's main force is estimated to be able to rush to the predetermined area tonight and launch an attack on the Ming army. But according to Ozawa Kazuhiro, his troops were about to lose their positions before dinner, which was what made Miyamoto Yuhito the most depressed.

He calculated everything, but the air force unit that he thought was the most foolproof went wrong at the most critical moment. The Shenlong 1 fighter had no suppressive performance advantage at all in the face of the Ming Empire's Sky Breaking 2 fighter, and could only rely on numbers to fight a war of attrition with the opponent.

The dozens of Japanese planes deployed on the front line, plus the Shenlong 1 planes that were urgently transferred to the navy and army, were still unable to seize the air supremacy of the Ming Empire. On the contrary, after losing about 50 Shenlong 1 fighters, the Japanese air force did not even have the courage to attack, and allowed the bombers of the Ming Empire to cause trouble everywhere in the sky.

"How unreasonable is that...... Outrageous! Now I can only abandon the original battle plan, let the infantry of the 2nd Division on the road divide into small units, run forward, and use the fastest speed to reinforce Ozawa-kun's 17th Division first! In the end, Miyamoto Youren, who tried in vain to concentrate superior forces to defeat the Ming army in a battle, still gave up his plan to finish the battle and chose a more secure way to stabilize the position of his troops.

He grabbed the phone and gave his combat order: "Ohno-kun, let your infantry wing take the lead and reinforce the 17th Division...... They're overwhelmed now, and you'll have to make sure the troops get there within an hour to help them hold their ground! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, General! "As a new commander of armored forces, Ono Sata belongs to the fragrant bait in Japan, he was originally a cavalry commander, and he once visited Ceylon's armored troops in Ceylon this year and received training from Ceylon. Because of this, he was able to beat many of his colleagues and became the division commander of the 2nd Division, the elite armored division of the Japanese army.

Putting down the radio, the division commander immediately contacted the commander of his infantry wing and gave him a combat order to move forward immediately: "Run forward, use the fastest speed, move closer to the position of the 17th Division!" For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor! Advance! ”

After only a few minutes, groups of Japanese soldiers, armed only with rifles and light weapons, shouted slogans and ran forward to the main defensive positions of the friendly 17th Division in the distance. These infantry are elite veterans who have undergone rigorous training, shoot accurately and have a strong will to fight, and what is even more terrifying is that despite the bombardment, their morale is still high!
