Chapter 705: Interception of the Japanese airdrop

Under the low eaves, the dim candle flame danced, obscure, as if it could be completely extinguished by a gentle gust of wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems to symbolize the fate of Commander Seya, the unit that made Ryosuke Isoya pinned considerable hopes on it, and almost all the elites of the 10th Division were included.

The 1st Brigade of Heavy Artillery (accompanied by the headquarters), the 10th Separate Machine Gun Wing, the 10th and 12th Separate Light Armored Vehicle Squadrons, the 10th Engineer Wing lacked one squadron, and the 15th and 16th Squadrons of the Corps Wagon...... Later, three Japanese infantry brigades, mountain artillery and field artillery squadrons, were withdrawn from the Nagase brigade.

Before and after, there were as many as 30,000 troops filling in!

Almost all the troops of the Second Army attached to the 10th Fourth Regiment were on board, and in Taierzhuang, the Seya detachment fought for nine days and nine nights, but failed to defeat it, and finally lost almost 7,000 men, with more than 90 percent killed.

The Japanese army fought to the death and did not surrender, and if they were injured and could not be treated in time, it was basically a dead end.

What's more, the medicine carried by the Japanese army was not enough, and the logistical supplies completely blocked Leng Feng, and some of these wounded were transported to Tengxian, Zoucheng and other places for treatment.

The Guangxin 39th Brigade captured more than 1,500 wounded Japanese soldiers in Tengxian and Yanzhou. (This reader always asks why the Japanese Seya detachment is always 20,000 people, it seems that the battle is not finished, in fact, the Japanese army is constantly replenishing to maintain this one-scale force)

Now there are more than 5,000 people from the Sakamoto detachment who came to support.

The Japanese army invested 35,000 troops in the Taierzhuang area.

Alive, there are about 8,000 Japanese troops surrounded, and there are almost five or six thousand wounded soldiers, that is, the Japanese army lost 20,000 people in half a month!

Among them, the battle death accounted for a large part, in the previous battle, few Japanese prisoners were captured, probably only a few hundred or so, all wounded soldiers, not even the ability to commit suicide.

During the general attack, because the push was too fast, the Japanese army could not take away too many wounded soldiers, and these wounded Japanese soldiers either voluntarily stayed behind and broke off, or committed suicide, or died together!

It was a lot of gains, and more than a thousand injuries were caught.

Counting all the wounded Japanese soldiers, a rough estimate shows that the Japanese attack on Taierzhuang plus the previous battles of Tengxian and other battles killed about 17,000 people.

This figure should be the closest to the truth, Seya Kai knows in his heart that even if he takes Taierzhuang now, he lost this battle, most of the elite of the 10th Division was lost in his hands, not to mention that most of a heavy artillery brigade was also lost in Taierzhuang, and some heavy artillery had to be discarded and fell into the hands of the Chinese.

With such a big loss, even if Seya Kei can go back alive, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.

He still has more than 4,000 capable soldiers and 3,000 wounded soldiers, and if he has to hold on, with his ability, he can still hold out in a day or two.

Unless the Chinese can still have the same fierce artillery fire as today.

In fact, he knew that the Chinese had been holding up their anger for many days at once, and they didn't have so many shells, so some of them fought next.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have anything to eat or drink, and didn't have ammunition, it wouldn't have been certain who would have won.

Kei Seya summoned his subordinates to the headquarters for a meeting, in order to unify his thoughts and want to break through, which he could not do alone.

In addition to the dead and wounded in battle, there are also those who have to stick to their positions, and the commanders of special units above the rank of junior or special unit (not necessarily junior officers) have all come.

However, at a glance, everyone's faces were very tired, and some of them hadn't washed their faces for several days, dirty, and even cleanliness fetish soldiers at this time, I am afraid they can't take care of it.

"Adjutant!"

"Hay!"

The adjutant took out a wooden box, took out some compressed dry food, and canned food, and divided it among each of the officers present, and each of them was given a piece of compressed biscuits, a canned beef, and a bottle of canned fruit, as well as cigarettes and chewing gum.

"That's all I have here, I know you didn't eat before you came, so eat." Seya Kai raised his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the food in front of everyone and said.

"General, have we really reached this point?"

"Fu Rongjun, you have been fighting with the Chinese army for so long, you know best the situation we are facing now, let us hold on, but how long can we hold on now?"

"We don't have enough food to eat, and if we continue like this, the soldiers will go hungry, and we won't be able to fight anymore!" A junior officer in charge of the quartermaster stood up and said.

"We can still kill horses."

"Even if the entire detachment of war horses is killed, it won't last long, if the war horses are really killed, then who will consign the equipment of my door?" Sang Wenzhen, the commander of the 10th Cavalry Wing, stood up angrily and shouted.

"So what do you say?"

"While we still have the strength to fight, break through and rush out!"

"Don't forget, we have a mission to stick here, the empire needs us to hold back the elite troops of the China Army here, the Tufeiyuan Division of the First Army has crossed the Yellow River and headed south to cut off the Longhai railway line, as long as we hold on a little longer, when they converge with the Central China Front, the whole battle will be completely reversed!"

"But I heard that the Honorary First Division of the Chinese Army suddenly appeared in the Luxi area, and it has already occupied Yanzhou and Jining, and it is difficult to say whether the 14th Division can smoothly move south."

"Honor the First Division, the Devil Troop ......"

The Devil's troops were also circulated in the North China Front, although they had not encountered them, but in Taierzhuang, the new 38th Brigade left a heavy shadow on them.

This unit and the devil's army are almost from the same source, and the strong combat effectiveness and endless means shown in Taierzhuang have made many officers who have experienced it shudder.

There are many Japanese officers who died in Taierzhuang, many of them are young and talented young officers, as well as elite soldiers, Furong Zhenpei's 63rd Wing was almost wiped out in the battle of Taierzhuang, if it wasn't for Seya Kai to remove him, how many people are left in the 63rd Wing is unknown.

Even if Ryosuke Isoya later withdrew two brigades from the Nagase Brigade to temporarily supplement the Fukuei Wing, it did not prevent the poor performance of this wing in the later battles.

Later, Kei Seya luckily listed it as a backup, but it became the one with the most soldiers preserved among all the troops.

In other words, the 63rd Wing, which had already been defeated, has now become the absolute main force in the hands of the Seya detachment.

"General, do you think this Honorary First Division can stop the invincible Imperial Army?"

"I have confidence in General Tohihara, the Shina army will not be able to stop the advance of our army at all, even if they surround us, the final victory will definitely belong to the empire, and the glory of His Majesty the Emperor will shine on the whole of China!" A Japanese soldier stood up and shouted feverishly.

The more low-ranking officers are, the more fanatical they are, and this is a very unique phenomenon in the Japanese army.

It does not mean that the senior generals are not fanatical, they are just as fanatical and radical, but they know how to compromise better, and the radical officers have not yet fully grasped the power of the state, so the phenomenon of military orders not being coordinated and unified has occurred from time to time.

The reason why Japan invaded China and why it failed, of course, is related to the outbreak of World War II, China's choice of the side of the allies, the large amount of aid, and the unity of the Chinese people to the outside world, bravely killing the enemy, not being a slave to the country, this is on the one hand, and a large part of the failure of Japan's own strategy.

There is no complete strategy, the appetite is too big, the heart is too anxious, trying to ants to devour the elephant, at first it can taste the sweetness, but when it swallows more and more, it will not digest. Liang, in the end, he was propped up to death.

"No one doubts General Dohihara's ability, but will we be able to survive until that time?" Chishiba Chonghazo Dazuo asked calmly.

"Early tomorrow morning, the Imperial Air Force will once again airdrop some ammunition, food, and medicine supplies to us, about ten tons."

"With supplies, we can hold on."

"Yes, it's easy to get supplies......"

A hint of gloom flashed in Setani Kai's eyes, and he could hear that these people under his command were still pinning their hopes on the change in the external battle situation and wanted to hold on to help.

But his intuition told him that reinforcements would come, but they were there to collect their bodies.

Red Boat Town, Honorary First Division and Former Commander of the Luxi Corps.

"Division, intercept a telegram, the Japanese army will airdrop supplies to the encircled Seya detachment and Sakamoto detachment tomorrow morning, and the ground signal is, the Japanese Army flag firewood!"

"Oh, that's a good thing."

"Master, this is a good thing, if the Japanese airdrop supplies, they will be able to hold on longer!"

"Staff Officer Hu, your mind doesn't turn at all, we intercepted the telegram, can the little devil's airdrop materials still reach them?" Long Yingqin said with a smile.

"Master, do you want to send a telegram to Chief Li immediately?"

"I just thought you kid was a little smart, why are you stupid now, this kind of good thing can't be kept by yourself, don't we lack supplies and ammunition?" Leng Feng laughed and scolded.

"Hehe, understood, Master, I'm really confused!"

"Send a telegram to Luo Maniac, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, it depends on whether he can catch it." Leng Feng ordered.

"Understood!"

In this era, there was no accurate positioning system, and in the case of airdrops, in order to find the correct position, someone must guide them on the ground, and it depends on who can deceive the Japanese transport plane first.

If you don't get it right, you can really make a fortune, although the Japanese army is a big family, but the big family can't afford such a consumption.

The risk is that if the airdrop fails, the Japanese will be alert and find out the cause, and then they may find out that their radio communications are being monitored and deciphered.

However, this is only one of the cases, and the Japanese army may not think of this, haven't they never looked down on the Chinese?

Deciphering the communication code, such a high-tech thing, the Chinese can't do it, so they won't believe it until there is no direct evidence.

Besides, the secret that the 1st Division of Honor was able to listen to and decipher some of the Japanese army's communication ciphers, but only a very small number of people knew about it, and even Lao Jiang didn't know about it.

Therefore, the Japanese will not notice it for a while, and it is very likely that it will be regarded as an accident.
