Chapter 230: Fatal Negligence
Wang Ye said: "My opinion is to blow it up, resolutely blow it up." โ
After saying this, he said: "The shells are all gone, what are you doing with the cannons?" Furnishings? โ
Cao Sanlian could only turn his gaze for help to the brigade commander and the chief of staff, like a lost helpless orphan, and pleaded pitifully: "Brigade commander? Chief of staff? โ
The brigade commander and chief of staff were also reluctant.
Is it easy for Lao Tzu to save this little possessions?
When you touch the upper and lower mouths of the dog, you are going to blow it up?
The chief of staff frowned and asked, "Xiao Wang, can't you drag it back?" โ
"yes." The brigade commander also said, "Drag it back and find a place to bury it, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, and the devil can still dig up the entire Taihang base area?" โ
"I'm afraid not." Wang Ye said, "It's too late. โ
Pointing to the two Taisho 14th 105mm caliber cannons on the position, he said: "These two cannons weigh 3 tons, and they can only be mobile from the road. โ
"You have to have a lot of mules to pull to be able to walk."
"However, the roads in our Taihang base area have been damaged many times, and the traffic conditions are very poor."
"When I came, it was full of situations, but fortunately, the little devil didn't know in advance, so he didn't send out aviation to attack and bomb, but it was different when I went back."
"Once discovered by devil bombers,"
"Not only will the artillery not be saved, but the mules, horses and men will also suffer heavy casualties."
The brigade commander and chief of staff fell silent at once, for it was almost dawn.
As long as there are no accidents, the devil aviation will come over as soon as it is dawn.
These 4 105 guns were too cumbersome and would have dragged the artillerymen and mules to death.
"Then blow it up!" The brigade commander exhaled, and finally said, "Damn, it's a big deal to snatch it from the devil in the future, as long as the little devil is still in Shanxi, you won't have to worry about not being able to get the cannon." โ
"Brigadier Takami." Wang Ye smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Less sycophants." The brigade commander didn't have a good air, "What about the 6 37 guns and 12 75 field guns?" โ
The chief of staff said: "Yes, it seems that the 37 guns and 75 field guns can only be maneuvered by road, so they won't be blown up too, right?" โ
"That's not going to work." Cao San's face turned white when he heard this, as if he was going to kill his daughter-in-law, and immediately opened his arms to protect the 1 75 field cannon behind him, and said urgently, "The 75 field cannon can't be exploded!" โ
The 105mm shells are gone, and the 75mm shells are still missing.
There are still more than a hundred tons of 75mm shells in the warehouse of the Shuiyao Mountain Fortress!
"Captain Cao, what are you anxious about?" Wang Ye said funny, "I didn't say that the 75 field cannon will also be blown up." โ
Speaking of this, he added: "Brigade commander, chief of staff, although these 12 Meiji 38-style 75mm caliber field guns also have to be maneuvered from the road, they weigh less than 1 ton, which is much lighter than the 4 105 guns, and they can also be pushed into the woods of the road to hide when necessary, and the survival rate is much higher." โ
"Not to mention the 6 Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns, they are only more than 300 kilograms."
"Even if it is attacked by devil bombers, it can quickly advance to hide in the woods on the side of the road."
"However, these 6 94-type 37mm rapid-fire guns and 12 Meiji 38-type 75mm caliber field guns cannot be disassembled and disassembled, so Chengjiazhen can't go."
"Because after beating Chengjia Town, there is a good chance that the road on Zhaojiayuan's side has been cut off by devils."
"If this is the case, these 12 75-caliber field guns will not be able to go back, and they will have to be blown up completely."
The other 3 companies of 22 92 infantry guns did not have this worry, because they could walk on mountain roads, and the weight of the 92 infantry guns was only more than 200 kilograms, and they could be disassembled and carried by mules.
The Devil's Type 41 75 mountain cannon can also be disassembled and disassembled, and then marched by mules and horses.
The brigade commander nodded and said, "Then drag these 6 37 guns and 12 75 field guns back to Shuiyao Mountain, oh yes, and the 2 75 caliber anti-aircraft guns, also tow them back." โ
Cao Sanlian hurried to arrange the bombing and evacuation.
After a while, with several explosions, four 105 guns exploded one after another.
Not only was the barrel blown up, but the bolt device was also completely destroyed, completely losing its repair value.
Immediately afterwards, 12 75 field guns, 2 75 anti-aircraft guns and 6 37 rapid-fire guns also took up their steel drills and were dragged to the road by mules and horses.
At this time, Cao Sanlian had already rushed to Chengjia Town with 3 infantry artillery companies.
Wang Ye also followed the artillery regiment, and as for the wolf squadron, they had already rushed to the vicinity of Chengjia Town one step ahead of the other to carry out close reconnaissance on the devils coming from the direction of Jingcheng.
โฆโฆ
Yoshio Shinozuka's reaction was also quick.
Although he has been repeatedly teased by the prince, it is very shameful.
But Yoshio Shinozuka quickly adjusted his mood and reacted quickly.
After receiving the farewell telegram from Ryo Miura, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that the Ogasawara detachment would definitely not be able to keep it, so he decisively ordered the Japanese troops who came over from Ishika to build fortifications on the spot.
The lessons of the Tabu Detachment and the Ogasawara Detachment are in front of us.
If the Sasaki detachment from Jingcheng does not build fortifications on the spot and move to defense, then when the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region arrives, what awaits them may only be collective jade fragments.
With the strength of a detachment alone, on the premise of building fortifications in advance, it may be able to compete with the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region, but if it fights in the field, it will only last for one or two hours at most.
Until now, Yoshio Shinozuka no longer wants to admit and must admit the field capabilities of the Eighth Route Army.
In view of this, Yoshio Shinozuka decisively ordered the Sasaki detachment to build fortifications on the spot and move to defense.
In addition to ordering the Sasaki detachment to move to defense, Yoshio Shinozuka also regrouped the four rapid strike groups scattered along the blockade ditch.
Although the rapid strike brigade has infantry, artillery, and armored troops, the strength of a brigade is still too thin, and the 3rd Rapid Strike Brigade, which was originally stationed in Yangquan, even lasted less than half an hour when it was ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region, so it was too dangerous for a rapid strike brigade to act alone.
Yoshio Shinozuka decisively ordered the 2 rapid brigades in the direction of Shouyang and the 2 rapid brigades in the direction of Jingcheng to merge and reorganize into 2 rapid strike detachments.
After the merger, the two rapid strike detachments not only have more than 2,000 infantry, more than 500 cavalry and ten tanks, but also 12 75 field guns, which is basically a strengthened version of the infantry wing, even if it fights with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region, it can also compete with one or two.
Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the two fast detachments after the merger to rush to the aid of Chengjia Town along the patrol road of the blockade ditch, and at the same time ordered the final detachment of Sangzhang to go north to seize Zhaojiayuan, if the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region dared to attack the Sasaki detachment, the final detachment could cut off the retreat of the Eighth Route Army from behind.
After arranging all this, Yoshio Shinozuka glanced up at the wall clock hanging on the wall, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to four o'clock in the morning, and in less than two hours, the sky would be bright.
These two hours are the two hardest hours.
After settling down, Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze fell back on the sand table.
At this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto had already completed the sand table operation with two combat staff officers, and displayed the posture of the enemy and our armies along Zhengtai Road on the sand table.
The Sasaki detachment had already built fortifications near the town of Chengjia.
The Hojo detachment, which is also the final detachment, is attacking along the road from Sangzhang to Zhaojiayuan.
However, on the opposite side of the Hojo detachment, a blocking force of the Eighth Route Army appeared, and the number of troops was about one battalion to one regiment.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for the Hojo detachment to hit the vicinity of Zhaojiayuan within an hour.
As for the Fujimoto detachment and the willow leaf detachment that have just been combined, they are more than 30 kilometers away, but fortunately, these two detachments have strong mobility capabilities, especially the willow leaf detachment, which can rush to the vicinity of Chengjia Town within an hour to meet with the Sasaki detachment, and the Sasaki detachment will be completely safe at that time.
Now the question is, will the Sasaki detachment be able to hold out for an hour?
Yoshio Shinozuka felt that on the premise of building fortifications in advance, there should not be much of a problem.
However, Ryuichi Sakamoto had a different opinion on this and said, "Your Excellency Commander, I think it is safer for the Sasaki detachment to retreat. โ
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, "Retreat?" โ
"Yes, retreat." Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "The field combat ability of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area is beyond our imagination, many of the detachments and the Ogasawara detachment only lasted less than an hour, and the strength and equipment of the Sasaki detachment are almost no different from those of the Duobu detachment and the Ogasawara detachment, so the Sasaki detachment may not last an hour." โ
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said: "But the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area is a continuous battle, if nothing else, it is already a veteran of the division at this moment, not to mention that with the logistics support ability of the Eighth Route Army, after two consecutive battles, how much ammunition can be left?" โ
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is just your imagination."
Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "You can't put a detachment of more than 2,000 imperial soldiers in a dangerous situation because of your personal imagination, this is not a responsible behavior!" โ
brush, the staff officers present all cast surprised glances at Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Yoshio Shinozuka's old face also turned the color of pig liver in an instant.
The reality is so cruel, although Yoshio Shinozuka is the commander of the 1st Army, but after suffering many defeats in a row, especially in the process of fighting wits with the prince, he was almost played around, which has seriously weakened the prestige of Yoshio Shinozuka in the hearts of the staff officers, otherwise Ryuichi Sakamoto would never dare to talk to him like this.
Yuta Ichihara, as Yoshio Shinozuka's adjutant, felt the need to come out and say a few words.
"Idiot, do you know what you're talking about?" Yuta Ichihara said angrily.
"Am I wrong?" Sakamoto Takashi snorted and said, "The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area not only has a huge number of artillery, but also knows how to fight such as Xu Jin's barrage and precise guidance, and its tactical literacy and firepower are completely inferior to the army of today's world-class military power, and it is not inferior to the imperial army." โ
"Well, who can guarantee that the Sasaki detachment will hold out for more than an hour?"
"After all, according to reliable intelligence, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area has more than 30,000 troops!"
Hearing this, Yuta Ichihara immediately became dumb, because what Ryuichi Sakamoto said was right, the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region not only had more than ten times the strength of the Sasaki Detachment, but also crushed the Sasaki Detachment in artillery firepower, and more importantly, the tactical quality of the Eighth Route Army was not lost to the army of any country in the world today, which is very terrifying!
Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "The so-called anticipation of the enemy is wide, even if the Eighth Route Army is a continuous battle, we must also estimate their combat effectiveness higher, for the safety of the more than 2,000 imperial soldiers of the Sasaki detachment, I think we should decisively order the Sasaki detachment to retreat and join the Yanagiba detachment, and then we can ensure absolute security." โ
While talking, Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, hurriedly walked over.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Inoue Yasudon reported, "The Sasaki detachment sent an urgent telegram, saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area had appeared in Chengjia Town and was outflanking them. โ
Hearing this, Ryuichi Sakamoto's face immediately collapsed.
Well, now the Sasaki detachment can't withdraw even if it wants to.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Sakamoto Ryuichi said with a dark face, "If something happens to the Sasaki detachment, you must take full responsibility for it!" โ
"Yaga!"
Yoshio Shinozuka finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his backhand was a slap in the face.
Although Ryuichi Sakamoto was slapped in the face, the provocation in his eyes was even stronger, that is, he was not convinced.
"Sakamoto-kun!" Yoshio Shinozuka said with a dark face, "The reason why I ordered the Sasaki detachment to defend on the spot instead of retreating to join the Yanagi detachment naturally has my reasons. โ
"I'll explain it to everyone when the fight is over."
"Besides, of course I will be responsible for the Sasaki detachment."
"Not only the Sasaki detachment, but also many non-detachments, the jade crushing of the Ogasawara detachment, I will also be responsible, as the commander of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi, I have an unshirkable responsibility."
Ryuichi Sakamoto's face softened a little.
Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze turned to Takuya Mizuhara again: "Mizuhara-kun, have you already arranged it?" โ
"Hello." Takuya Mizuhara paused, "The telecommunications monitoring detachment has set off with the Fujimoto detachment, and as long as it enters within 10 kilometers, it can accurately locate the radio station." โ
"Yo Si." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "It's hard work." โ
"Radio? Precise positioning? Ryuichi Sakamoto was stunned.
"Fool, now you know why His Excellency the Commander ordered the Sasaki detachment to move to defense on the spot, right?"
Yoshio Shinozuka didn't want to say more, but Yuta Ichihara couldn't hold back, and said coldly: "If the Sasaki detachment does not turn to defense on the spot but retreats to join the Yanagi detachment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area will definitely be transferred in advance, so that the imperial army will not be able to bite them." โ
"Now, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attracted by the Sasaki detachment near Chengjia Town."
"The telecommunications monitoring detachment of the special high division will have the opportunity to locate its headquarters!"
"At that time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area will no longer be able to get rid of the pursuit of the imperial army!"
After a pause, Yuta Ichihara said again: "As long as you can lock the direction where the main force of the Eighth Route Army is located and annihilate it, what can you count by sacrificing a Sasaki detachment?" โ
"Nani? Is that the case? โ
Takashi Sakamoto was completely stunned when he heard this.
Yoshio Shinozuka is also a little better in his heart.
Before this, in the battle of wits and courage with the prince, he Yoshio Shinozuka could be described as a complete defeat.
Especially the wave of action to let the Hojo detachment divert and seize the Sangzhang Bridge, he originally thought that this time he would finally choke the key point of the prince, but he didn't expect to be completely tricked by the prince again.
This guy is really cunning, too cunning!
It's just that no matter how cunning you are, there are fatal omissions that you can't imagine.
As long as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can be seized and annihilated by accurately locating the prince's radio, what will happen if you lose the previous ninety-nine battles?
He just needs to win one last time!
Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka turned his gaze to Kosuke Chida in the corner.
"Chi Tian-kun, are the three radio stations of the Eighth Route Army still talking?"
"Hello." Kosuke Chida stood up and paused, "I've been on the phone." โ
"Really?" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "What are they talking about?" โ
Kosuke Chida said, "Radio No. 1 is reporting the coordinates to Radio No. 3. โ
"Notification coordinates?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face immediately fell again, "Yaga, this must be guiding their artillery to carry out an accurate artillery bombardment of the fire point of Sasaki's detachment. โ
โฆโฆ
Yoshio Shinozuka is absolutely right.
Dong Yu was indeed informing Dong Yan of the coordinates, and he didn't use Wenzhou dialect.
Wang Ye said directly into the microphone in Chinese: "Dong ไปจ Dong ไปจ, corrected coordinates, Gengwu 9414, repeat, corrected coordinates, Gengwu 9414, ten rapid fire, over." โ
In a few moments, a voice came back from the earpiece.
"Dong Yan received, Geng Wu 9414, ten rapid fire, over."
Wang Ye put down the microphone and the earpiece, and when he raised his head again, he saw a stream of light flying up from the air behind him.
More than ten seconds later, these more than 20 streamers landed on a defensive position of the devil five hundred meters in front of him, and in the continuous violent explosion, the devil's defensive position was blown upside down in an instant.
The ten rapid fire was quickly completed, and before the smoke on the devil's position dispersed, Cheng Shifa personally led a company of the 772nd Regiment to attack.
More than 100 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army poured up like a tide.
There were less than twenty devils left on the battlefield to resist stubbornly.
The two sides then engaged in a brutal white-knuckle battle on their positions.
In less than five minutes, more than a dozen devils were slaughtered.
At this moment, the devil artillery five kilometers away began to fire and retaliate.
The little devil really learned to be obedient this time, and actually built an artillery position five kilometers away.
The object of retaliation chosen by the devil artillery was not the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, but the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.
It is a pity that the devil's firepower retaliation is useless at all, because the artillery position chosen by Wang Ye for the artillery regiment is hidden on the mountain antislope as usual, and the devil's fire retaliation cannot be threatened at all.
On the contrary, it is the artillery position of the devils, and it is estimated that it will not live long.
Because Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng had already taken the Wolf Warrior Squadron to touch it.
As soon as the devil's artillery position is fired, a surprise attack will be launched on it.
Wang Ye didn't think that the devil's artillery position could withstand the surprise attack of the wolf squadron.
ps: In order to conceive these battle plots, I feel that my brain is not enough, how to break it?
