Chapter 1129 was ambushed

The Battle of Degang was even smoother than Tang Qiuli expected, and in just over an hour before and after, the troops occupied Degang, and there were no casualties, and Chief of Staff Yang Ketian attributed this effect to Zheng Yong's rocket artillery unit, and Tang Qiuli also agreed with Yang Ketian's view that under this kind of intensive firepower, the Japanese troops camped in Degang had no chance of surviving at all.

However, with the occupation of Degang troops and the situation reported, Tang Qiuli was suspicious in his heart, the Japanese infantry, in a sea of fire, the death toll could not be counted, but there were obviously two brigades of Japanese tank troops, and the wreckage at the scene was only more than 200 Japanese tanks, and the other more than 200 Japanese tanks. Where did you go?

Based on the above situation, Tang Qiuli ordered the troops occupying Degang to conduct a careful search around Degang, if the Japanese tanks were lucky enough to escape the shelling, then there would be a part of the Japanese infantry who also escaped this catastrophe, think about it, how could more than 70,000 Japanese soldiers be wiped out all at once, and it should be normal for 10,000 people to escape.

He absolutely did not expect that nearly half of the Japanese troops that had been preserved, more than 34,000 people, and a brigade of tanks, and most of the combat strength of the Japanese army had not been lost, but there was no specific location for them.

Nakazawa received the report, he was stunned at first, pondered, and saw that all the officers looked at him, and couldn't help but panic for a while, before that, Nakazawa had always been a staff officer, and had never had experience in commanding a troop, Nanyun suddenly died, half of the troops were lost, and the surrounding enemy situation was unknown.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Nakazawa looked at these senior officers and asked in a solemn tone: "Gentlemen, do you have the courage and confidence to fight a war?" These high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, when they heard the chief of staff ask this, all felt a great insult, as the emperor's **, the samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, we will never flinch in the face of the attack of the Chinese people.

Among them, the commander of the 11th Division, Kobayashi, said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire have never lost the courage to fight, Commander Nagumo Tamama, you are the supreme commander, you just give the order!" All troops will obey your command! "Xiao Lin's words have a lot of weight at this time, his division, because they camped in the canyon, was unscathed, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers were in hand, and they had enough confidence to speak.

Nakazawa nodded and asked the young man, "In addition to this branch, are there any other branches around us?" Shao Zuo replied: "According to observation, the area around Degang has been occupied by the Chinese army, with a strength of about more than 100,000 people, and a search is being carried out on the periphery, and the canyon where we are hiding will soon be discovered." ”

Nakazawa gasped, a little dizzy, more than 100,000 people, my emperor is big, in his own hands, less than 40,000 troops, still surrounded by the Chinese troops, blocked in this canyon, to say a little better, it is to occupy a favorable terrain, to say a little ugly, it is called a turtle in the urn, it is difficult to escape, and there is no way to break through.

Nakazawa had a toothache, but he was silent, several senior commanders of the Japanese army, looking intently, his face was the same as that of the chief of staff who opened the dye workshop, and kept changing colors, in the cave, there were only a dozen Japanese, the sound of heavy breathing, the Shao Zuo who reported the situation, was in such a hurry!

What to do, but there is a happy word, the soldiers of China have arrived at the entrance of the canyon, they can't do nothing, wait for death here, right? Not only was he anxious, but several senior Japanese commanders were also anxious, and Nakazawa himself was even more anxious.

To fight easily, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army rushed out in one go, and made a tragic suicidal charge to the hundreds of thousands of troops that surrounded him, and then, there were corpses of soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire everywhere, and he was one of them, but Nakazawa didn't want to die, at least he didn't want to die like this.

Most of the Japanese officers and soldiers advocated dedication to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, firmly believing that dying in battle was just another reincarnation of life, but Nakazawa did not think so, there is a saying in China that "it is better to die than to live," which is probably the true portrayal of Nakazawa's chief of staff, so he could not do it, knowing that he was in a desperate situation, there was no hope of breaking through, and he took the lead in committing suicide by caesarean section, nor would he give orders to let more than 30,000 soldiers carry out a death charge and send live targets to the soldiers of China.

Time passed minute by minute, the young man who reported the situation, was so anxious that he was almost smoking, and he wanted to kick the indecisive chief of staff to death, and another junior officer came in, glanced at several generals in the cave, lay in the young minister's ear, and muttered a few words, "The soldiers of China have discovered the canyon, and in twenty minutes, they will enter the canyon." ”

Shao Zuo waved his hand, this junior officer hurriedly withdrew, Shao Zuo looked at Zhong Ze with burning eyes, if he said that the other party's position and rank were several levels higher than himself, he really wanted to go over and give His Excellency the Chief of Staff a few big mouths to wake up the general who was still hesitating.

Kobayashi, the commander of the 11th Division, felt that he couldn't stop talking, and was just about to speak, when a communications staff officer hurriedly came in, "Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Commander-in-Chief Ito called back," Nakazawa snatched the telegram.

"Nakazawa-kun, I was shocked to hear that Degang was raided by Tang Qiuli's troops in China, and Nanyunjun was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and I was overwhelmed with emotion in my heart, at this moment, the situation in Degang is extremely critical, and your department is surrounded by Tang Qiuli's troops, and now, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army of the Great Japanese Empire, I appoint you as the commander of the troops, and lead the troops to hold Degang for eight hours."

"I am commanding the main force of the dispatch army, day and night, rushing to Degang, at the same time, ordering the Nomura troops, turn around and return south, reinforce your department, and Tang Qiuli's initial victory and defeat, are all tied to Nakazawa-kun, whether the strategy of Greater Japan in Southeast Asia can be realized, in this battle, Nakazawa-kun has a heavy responsibility, I hope to carry forward the heroic spirit of my Japanese emperor, stick to the rescue, thwart the attack of Tang Qiuli's troops, please!"

A black gauze hat fell from the sky, although it was not easy to wear, a bit of a sense of being ordered in danger, Nakazawa's heart, but a lot of stability, Commander-in-Chief Ito attached great importance to his troops, although he had never served as a troop commander, a little bit of a step to the sky, Nakazawa has no experience in leading troops, it does not mean that his brain is not enough to turn around.

Regardless of the anxious Shaozo, Nakazawa read Ito's telegram with emotion, and then, with a pale face, he immediately took out the commander's style and said to Lieutenant General Kobayashi, the commander of the 11th Division: "Kobayashi-kun, order your troops to immediately get out of the way at the entrance to the canyon, let the Shina troops in, and then, block the entrance with heavy troops, surround this group of Shina soldiers, but never allow an attack." ”

Xiao Lin was inexplicable, staring at the bull's eye, looking at Zhongze, who was the new official in puzzlement, let the soldiers come in, if they are not annihilated, what tricks are they doing, is it still possible to raise the soldiers of the branch?

Nakazawa was a little speechless, he didn't know how this Xiao Lin sat on the throne of the division commander, his brain was full of muscles, he wanted to reprimand a few words, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Lin Jun, Tang Qiuli's artillery fire is very fierce, we have more than 30,000 soldiers, gathered in such a narrow valley, once it is shelled, heavy losses are the slightest consequence, with thousands of Chinese soldiers, in our hands, Tang Qiuli will not dare to use heavy weapons, we can also drag to Commander Ito's troops and come to reinforce." ”

Xiao Lin suddenly realized, patted his head, "Oh, isn't this the truth, no wonder Commander Ito appointed Nakazawa to take over as commander, this guy's stomach, there are really dry goods, this trick is insidious and vicious enough," Xiao Lin really admired the new commander, and immediately saluted solemnly, and replied loudly: "Yes, resolutely carry out the orders of His Excellency the commander." ”

Zhao Xinfeng, captain and company commander of the first brigade, the first regiment, the first battalion, and the first company of the corps directly under the independent division, is a typical officer from a professional class in the independent division, graduated from the first phase of the junior command department of the Dingbian Military Academy, and Tang Qiuli's brother-in-law Meiling is a classmate, and the personal relationship between the two is also quite good.

Being able to be assigned to the main field corps, and it is the corps under the direct command of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and serving as the number one company commander, shows Zhao Xinfeng's ability, his company, is the brigade sharp knife company, a few kilometers away from the battalion, found the entrance to this canyon, purely accidental, a soldier, inadvertently, set aside a few bushes of dense bushes, found a large number of footprints, and traces of tank tracks.

Zhao Xinfeng immediately paid attention, and after reporting to the battalion headquarters with a walkie-talkie, he took the whole company and came in along the valley mouth, about a few hundred meters deep, Zhao Xinfeng instinctively felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, what was it, he couldn't tell, anyway, it was a feeling, in the canyon, it was too quiet, and only the slight footsteps of the soldiers could be heard.

If there are footprints and traces of tank tracks, there should be remnants of Japanese troops inside, seeing a company of more than 200 people, do not shoot, this is not normal, if the remnants of the Japanese army, have fled from here, then the troops in other directions, there should be volleys, but no.

Zhao Xinfeng ordered four platoons to open the distance, he took the lead platoon in the front, continued to go deep into the canyon, and walked about a thousand meters, I don't know why, he felt a creepy feeling, the inner uneasiness, more and more intense, with a wave of his hand, the troops stopped, and immediately skillfully unfolded the battle formation, occupying the advantageous position.

Zhao Xinfeng carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then, ordered the troops, immediately withdraw from the canyon, he can be sure, there are many Japanese soldiers here, the soldiers just turned around, want to exit the canyon, suddenly, the Japanese army equipped with the 92 heavy machine gun, the monotonous "da-da" sound, like a torrential rain.

Dozens of soldiers fell in a pool of blood at that time, and Zhao Xinfeng's head "buzzed", not good, he was ambushed by the little devil!
