If others had this idea, Lieutenant General Tada Jun would definitely laugh at him for being incompetent, shooting himself in the foot, and even saying wildly: "You have the ability to let the horse come!" ”
But if the troops trained by Ma Zheng himself had such an idea, or even launched such a battle, then the meaning would be different. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now many soldiers in the Japanese army have demonized Ma Zheng, including a large number of junior officers. Of course, judging by Tada's eyes and knowledge, most of the rumors are made up, but one thing is very true, that is, every time the Suicha Military Region makes a sortie, it will tear off a piece of meat from the Japanese army.
Moreover, there was such a rumor circulating among the Japanese army, that is, Ma Zheng looked down on the troops below the level of the Japanese brigade, and the troops of the Suicha Military Region rarely went to specifically clean up the troops of the Japanese brigade size.
That "demon" either doesn't make a move, or if he wants to make a move, he will stare at the wings, brigades, and even divisions of the empire. The troops targeted by the "demons" are generally difficult to escape, whether it is the 106th Division with average combat effectiveness, the 2nd Division and the 12th Division with strong combat effectiveness, the fate is the same, and no unit has ever escaped the pursuit of Ma Zheng's troops.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that the 3rd and 4th Independent Mixed Brigades led by Major General Sasaki were surrounded by Ma Zheng's headquarters, Lieutenant General Tada's first reaction was that it was over, and at the same time, his hands and feet were cold and light-headed, and it took a while to ease up.
After looking at the map for a long time, Lieutenant General Tada Jun did not see clearly where Ma Zheng's department bypassed the eyes and ears of the special high-tech department, and quietly transported tens of thousands of people to Sasaki to the back of the first department.
However, the situation on the map was still clear to Lieutenant General Tada, the Japanese independent mixed 3rd and 4th brigades were surrounded on a hill less than two kilometers in radius, and Major General Sasaki Toichi had already commanded his troops to build simple fortifications on that hill, which was expected to support at least three days of fighting. However, the premise is that the ammunition must be sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to support even two days.
Lieutenant General Tada Jun also knew that the situation was urgent, and if he hadn't really reached the place where the oil had run out, it would have been impossible for Sasaki Toichi, who was a gendarmerie in the intelligence department, to ask him for help. Therefore, Lieutenant General Tada Jun did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the aviation unit to carry a large amount of ammunition to southern Hebei, and then prepared to airdrop it to Sasaki to the first department.
However, Ma Zheng already had a perfect strategy to guard against the tricks that the Japanese army might use, so when the Japanese air force reached the sky above Cishan, he could only see the smoke and looming soldiers around him. This was the artificial smoke created by Ma Zheng's order to come early and the wet firewood of the brigade was ignited, and more than 40,000 troops worked together to achieve that the Japanese fighters could not see anyone when they came, let alone the positions on the ground.
However, the matter is not over here, Ma Zheng not only didn't want Sasaki to go to the ministry to get the airdropped materials, but also wanted to control the heavenly materials in his hands, so he opened up a new battlefield on the periphery of Cishan, and specially sent soldiers of an infantry regiment to put on Japanese military uniforms and exchange fire with the instructor's soldiers.
After careful judgment, the Japanese air force finally found the battlefield of the "warriors" of the empire, and immediately under the deliberate lure of Ma Zheng's department, a large number of weapons and ammunition were thrown into the heroic "imperial army" soldiers.
In the last count, the Japanese air force actually airdropped a total of 10 tons of ammunition, 200 submachine guns, and 50 heavy machine guns to the "warriors" of the great "Great Japanese Empire."
After receiving the "support" of the Japanese army, the instructor who had become more generous suddenly increased the intensity of the attack, and the shells fell on the head of Sasaki and Ichibu like no money, and the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which was originally the end of the crossbow, suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and the telegram for help flew like snowflakes on the tables of Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro and Lieutenant General Tada.
In desperation, Tada Jun comforted Sasaki to Ichi, and at the same time strictly ordered the Japanese 32nd Division to immediately rush to Cishan to rescue Sasaki to Ichi. Although Kimura Hyotaro did not want to withdraw his troops, he knew very well that the Chinese army in Handan City had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and it would not be long before the warriors of the empire could completely occupy this famous city in southern Hebei.
But the matter has come to this point, and Kimura Hyotaro can only pinch his nose and admit it. Moreover, Kimura, an old devil, also knows that judging from the current situation, there are not many people left in the hard-hit Gao Shuxun Division, and even if he takes Handan City, there will not be many results.
Compared with the two infantry brigades surrounded by the Shina army, the new Eighth Army of Shina is obviously not enough, and if Lieutenant General Tada Jun tracks it down, Kimura will not be able to explain, after all, it is under his command that is surrounded. So after weighing it for a while, Kimura Hyotaro decided to lead the troops who had returned in vain to rush to Mt. Gasaki to rescue Sasaki to a department.
On the Cishan front, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the temporary headquarters of the 3rd and 4th brigades.
Major General Sasaki Toichi is in a very complicated mood now, he has been surrounded by this bullshit hill for two days, and the food has already been eaten, and everyone, including him, the supreme commander, has not eaten for more than a day, not even a drop of water. No less than 30 telegrams for help had been sent, but the response from the headquarters was to hold on, and the reinforcements would arrive two days later.
It will last for two more days, in fact, Major General Sasaki is not optimistic in his heart, but he also knows that now he must be strong. If even he loses his confidence, then the whole army will collapse completely.
"Ito-kun, how many troops do we have now, and how much ammunition do we have left?" Sasaki had to ask the quartermaster at the brigade headquarters again.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we now have more than 5,000 people left, of which 1,310 are lightly wounded, 204 are seriously wounded, and another 161 people have just been shattered. As for our ammunition, we had very little ammunition left, and in addition to less than ten rounds of ammunition in the hands of each soldier, our brigade headquarters had less than 20,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, machine gun shells and grenades, and artillery shells had been exhausted an hour earlier, and we had two radio stations and ten boxes of explosives. Quartermaster Ito Kimchi said in a deep voice.
The reduction of troops is good, at least there are 5,000 people, which is much better than I expected. However, it was a thorny problem that there was only a small amount of ammunition left, and the average of each soldier was less than 15 rounds, and with the intensity of the current engagement, the troops would run out of ammunition in fifteen minutes at most.
"And what is the morale of the soldiers?" Sasaki asked again.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we are all true samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, loyal servants of His Majesty the Emperor, and no matter what time it is, our warriors are ready to break the jade for His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. Although the morale of some soldiers is indeed very low, the vast majority of soldiers are ready to fight bayonets. Ito replied loudly.
Major General Sasaki to a major general engaged in intelligence, from the very beginning of the siege, he found that the opposite side of the Chinese army is not simple, not only the advance and retreat, but also the cooperation between the soldiers is also extremely skilled, and at the same time there are snipers equipped with sniper rifles, this is not a pseudo sniper with a 38 cover, but a real sniper equipped with a sniper rifle of the hair color series.
There is even a regular artillery brigade, which even has sharp artillery such as battle defense artillery. Looking at the vast majority of those enemies, most of them were wearing tattered clothes, some in military uniforms, some in civilian clothes, and some even wore the clothes of a farmer. At this time, Sasaki realized that they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and there was only one person in the entire North China who dared to beat the attention of his two infantry brigades, and that was Ma Zheng in the Suicha area, and no one else had this courage except him.
As soon as he thought of this, Sasaki Zhiyi's heart was half cold, as the person in charge of the special high-tech department in North China, Sasaki Zhiyi's understanding of Ma Zheng was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary officers. He knew that he might be more than lucky this time, so he was ready to die in battle. (To be continued.) )
