Chapter 712: Luo Madman Wants to "Eat People"
Outside the city of Yixian, the new 38th Brigade was pointed out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The dark green military tent, in a green grove, this is also a camouflage, along the way, basically the village has long been destroyed.
There is simply not a single intact house to be found.
The weather is not cold in the wilderness, but it feels cooler at night, but the slightly rancid smell in the air is really a little unpleasant.
Dead people and livestock, after the war to clean up and bury, to prevent the emergence of epidemics, after the hot weather is more likely to breed germs, this era of China, because of the epidemic died too much.
"Brigade seat, counselor, now the Japanese army is mainly concentrated in the Catholic church in the north of the city, the former security regiment barracks and Zhitong Temple, the headquarters of the Japanese army is located in Zhitong Temple, the specific location is not very clear, but from the current actions of the Japanese army, they are shrinking the defense, concentrating their forces at the gate in the north of the city, as well as these streets, and are still constantly reinforcing the fortifications, through our observation and calculation, they should not have much ammunition left, and now it is getting darker and darker, in comparison, They are more familiar with the environment than we are, so it is relatively disadvantageous for us to fight at night. Ding Zijun, a major combat staff officer of the new 38th Brigade, introduced.
"Which troops entered the county seat of Yixian?" Qin Yankun asked.
"The reconnaissance battalion directly under the command, two battalions of the first regiment, three battalions of the second regiment, and a company of the mortar battalion, and a machine gun ......company," Staff Officer Ding reported one by one.
"Let the reconnaissance battalion withdraw from the battle, and let the first battalion of the independent regiment come on top." Luo Yufeng ordered.
"Lao Luo, who are you?"
"I want to flesh out the reconnaissance battalion and send it to Luxi as our vanguard." Luo Yufeng slowly explained that he had this idea for a long time, but this frontal enemy had not been solved, and he had never moved this idea.
Now that the battle situation has become clear, there will basically be no changes on the Yixian side, he has a brigade, more than 10,000 people, and is equipped as much as possible, and he can't take the one or two thousand Japanese remnants of this trapped beast?
Then he himself felt panicked.
"That's fine, there should be a shortage of troops on the side of the division, how many people should we send over?"
"What do you think of two thousand?"
"Two thousand, well, that's the size of a regiment."
"What do you think of the removal of a company from the heavy mortar battalion, the transfer of a company from the heavy machine gun battalion, the transfer of a battalion from the engineer regiment, the communications company, and the night battle hospital, just like when we formed the Jiangbei detachment?" Luo Yufeng asked.
"I think so." Qin Yankun thought about it and nodded.
"Then it's decided, immediately transfer troops, and set off early tomorrow morning, the sooner the better." Luo Yufeng ordered.
"Would you like to say hello to Chief Li?"
"Yes, I'll call Chief Li personally." Luo Yufeng nodded.
This call came to Li Delin's office in the Fifth War Zone, and he agreed without thinking about it, if there was no Leng Feng, this battle would not have the result it is today.
For the sake of the Fifth War Zone, for him Li Delin, how much Leng Feng himself has been wronged, he knows in his heart, and he is also clear about how much pressure Leng Feng is under.
Now that the Fifth War Zone can finally breathe a sigh of relief, he can spare a little strength to help him, if he Li Delin stops him again, he will not be human.
Besides, this seems to be Luo Yufeng's own decision, and Leng Feng doesn't know about it yet.
If Leng Feng wanted to transfer troops, in fact, there was no need to hide it from him, and he could not stop him by sending a telegram directly?
Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid your strategy of winning over and dividing is about to fail!
Thinking about this, Li Delin didn't mind digging a small pit for Lao Jiang, and directly gave Luo Yufeng an order in the name of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, asking him to form a special detachment and quickly rush to the aid of Lu Xi.
In this way, Luo Yufeng's spontaneous proposition became his order from Li Delin.
If Mr. Jiang didn't know the key, he would definitely misunderstand, this misunderstanding is big, it will be interesting, Li Delin also wants to see how far the relationship between Leng and Luo can go.
"If the Japanese want to break through, tonight is their only chance, and it is also an opportunity for us, once they are out of the strong and resistible fortifications, it will be much easier to destroy, and it will also reduce our casualties."
"What if the Japanese army wants to fight to the death and not retreat?"
"Then we can only break their bones little by little, and I don't mind using them to hone in the combat effectiveness of our brigade." Luo Yufeng smiled.
The night was hazy, and the gunpowder smoke over Yixian County did not dissipate, but became more and more strange and unpredictable.
Chitsuji Temple, the headquarters of the Sakamoto detachment of the Japanese army.
The Sakamoto detachment killed all the way from Linyi, more than 5,000 horses, and the small town of Lanling lost thousands of people, until now, less than 1,500 people are alive and can still breathe.
With the remnants of the Seya detachment, there were less than 2,000 Japanese troops trapped in the city.
And the troops surrounding them are at least thirty thousand, fifteen times the strength, if it is in peacetime, Sakamoto Shun is not afraid, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too weak, and a brigade in the empire is enough to fight a division.
However, now it is different, he is at the end of his rope, and the troops have reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.
"General, are we really going to break through?"
"It's shameful to be a deserter, and as an imperial soldier, don't you even have the courage to die?"
"Kuraki-kun, the problem is, even if we die in battle, it will have no effect on the overall situation, and that will just waste the lives of imperial soldiers in vain!"
"At least we'll be able to kill those damned Shina people!"
"Seya-kun has also decided to break through tonight, this is our unanimous decision, if we don't go, we will all die here, although your tablets will be enshrined and become heroes admired by future generations, but your parents have lost their sons, wives have lost their husbands, and children have lost their fathers, so who will support them for you?"
"General, breaking through is equivalent to escaping, this is the act of a coward, please think twice!"
"Does it make sense to die here?"
"We can hold on any longer!"
"Hold on, hold on for how long, do you think the Chinese are fools, there are no more of their people here, they can blow up this place with shells with impunity, as long as they want, do you understand?"
"The people of China don't have so many shells, and they would rather exchange their lives for precious shells."
"Okay, don't make any noise, I've made up my mind, break through at twelve o'clock tonight, and go northeast!" Shun Sakamoto announced his decision and no longer had any hesitation.
Previously, he had secretly exchanged views with the commander of the Sakagaki Seishiro Division, and the battle situation had reached this point, and it was no longer something that he and Seya Kei could change if they held on.
Although Sakagaki Seishiro's side was reinforced by the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the Chinese side also sent a division, which was a Dian army with no weak combat effectiveness.
In this way, the Linyi battle line was stabilized, and whether Sakagaki wanted to make a detour or a sneak attack, he was not sure of victory.
What's more, he could also think that Ryosuke Isoya would have the same idea on his side, Ryosuke Isoya is also a China expert, how could he not understand the current situation.
If you continue to insist, the 10th Division is very likely to be buried here, and Ryosuke Isoya doesn't want to become the division commander who buried the 10th Division, in that case, his military career will be over.
The reason why Sakamoto Shun chose the northeast direction is also a helpless choice, and the weakest part of the encirclement is the northeast direction, which is the junction of the new 38th Brigade and the 52nd Army.
"The lightly wounded follow the troops to break through, and the seriously wounded stay behind the palace, it's not me who is cold-blooded, take them with you, not only will we not be able to leave, but they may not be able to survive, the empire will remember their exploits!"
"Hay!"
There was a strict hierarchy of classes within the Japanese army, and since the supreme commander had made a decision, the subordinates should obey the superiors, and no matter how different opinions there were, they could only obey.
Outside the city of Yixian, the new 38th Brigade pointed forward, and the sound of ticking and ticking was non-stop.
"We analyzed several possible routes for the Japanese army to break through, south, I don't want to, unless Sakamoto Shun wants to die, otherwise even the second head will not do this, the first possibility, to the west, and the Seya detachment, this is possible, it is easy to break alone, it is human instinct to keep warm, the second possibility, due north, drill into the mountains, the 20th Army was drilled into the mountains, so that the Japanese army could not find it, this can also be learned by the Japanese army, but it is easy to get in, it is difficult to get out, not to mention that there is no food in the mountains, What do they eat? The third direction, the northeast, our junction with the 52nd Army, this position is the weakest defense and the easiest to break through, but we can realize this, and the Japanese army and the 52nd Army must also be aware of it. ”
"The analysis is good, but we don't know which road the Japanese army will choose in the end, but if I had to choose, I would choose the middle road and tear a hole directly in the direction of due north, which is the way to survive in death." Luo Yufeng pointed to the north of Wangyi County and said, "I don't know if Sakamoto Shun has the courage." ”
"I don't think he has so much courage, go west, and be with Seya Kai, I think he probably wouldn't, if it weren't for Seya Kai, he wouldn't be in a desperate situation, not to mention that the relationship between the 10th Division and the 5th Division is not harmonious, so he should choose the northeast corner where it is easiest to break through." Qin Yankun turned the lid of the teacup in his hand and analyzed it slowly.
"What the chief of staff said makes sense, we have made a model, believing that there is a 60 percent chance that the Japanese army will break through from the northeast corner, 30 percent to the west to meet Seya Kai, and 10 percent to break through from due north!"
"We're an independent regiment at the junction with the 52nd Army, right?"
"Yes."
"Immediately telegraph to Shi Wenlong and ask him to strengthen his vigilance, especially in the second half of the night, keep it guarded for me, if you let go of a little devil, I want him to look good."
"Yes!"
"Inform Commander Guan of the 52nd Army, tell him our analysis and judgment, and ask him to pay attention to the defense of the joint." Luo Yufeng ordered again.
"Also, Commander Chi of the 31st Division, be careful of the Japanese army's voice and don't give the Japanese army any chance, this time, I will leave all the bones and scum of the Sakamoto detachment!" Luo Yufeng slammed his fist on the table, and said viciously.
"Lao Luo, what are you doing so fiercely, you don't know, you still think you're going to eat people!" Qin Yankun quipped.
"Hehe, I'm going to eat people!" Luo Yufeng laughed.
