Shinozuka Yoshinan still said angrily.

"Yes, Commander, I'll have someone send a report to Nakamura at once!!"

Miyano said solemnly.

"Go to the headquarters, it's impossible to sleep peacefully now."

After thinking about it, Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand to Miyano Road.

"Commander, you?"

Miyano Michiichi said helplessly, now that the fighting has stopped, there is nothing left, what are you going to do in the command room of the headquarters?

However, Shinozuka Yoshinan had already dressed and walked out of the door directly.

Michiichi Miyano was helpless, so he also followed out and rushed back to the command room of the headquarters.

After arriving at the command room of the headquarters of the First Army of the Devils, several of the Devil's staff officers who were on duty at night in the early morning all bowed their heads and saluted Shinozuka Yoshinan.

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and motioned for the devil staff officer on duty to continue his work.

And he and Miyano Michichi walked together to a huge table in the center of the headquarters command room where the map and sand table were placed, and Yoshinan Shinozuka quickly stared at the map and looked at it first.

"The attack in the direction of Liujiazhen is not going well?"

Nakamura Zhenxiong's battle report, Shinozuka Yoshinan has already read it, saying that the battle losses in the direction of Liujiazhen are not large.

However, Nakamura Zhenxiong personally himself himself of the 9th Brigade and other units, with casualties of two brigades and more than 2,000 people.

"Yes, Commander."

Major General Miyano Michiichi nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "The direction of Liujiazhen was attacked by the 15th Brigade and other units, because the town east of Liujiazhen was there, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army laid a solid defensive position there, and the most important thing is that the other party may have used the cement, steel and other materials captured by the imperial army from Ping'an County, Heyuan County and other places to build more than a dozen reinforced concrete bunker fortifications. ”。

"The headquarters of the 15th Brigade that attacked Liujia Town was unfavorable several times, but it was blocked by the reinforced concrete pillbox fortifications built by the enemy army at the entrance of the town east of Liujia Town."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi continued, "Therefore, the attack in the direction of Liujiazhen is not going well. However, the commander of the 15th Brigade, Okamoto, who was in charge of directing the attack, commanded quite effectively, and the casualties of the Imperial soldiers were not large. ”

"Yo Xi, Okamoto is worthy of being an elite general in the independent brigade directly under the Front Army, and he fought well."

Shinozuka Yoshinan was also a little comforted, at least the casualties in the other direction were not large, and he was not too swollen by the independent regiment.

"Commander, the 15th Brigade suffered few casualties."

Miyano Michichi said in a condensed voice, "But the 9th Brigade has already suffered casualties of two infantry brigades, and it is estimated that for the 9th Brigade, morale may be affected."

"If you receive it, you will receive it, and now it is impossible to order Nakamura Zhenxiong to withdraw his troops just because of the loss of these troops!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan shook his head and said helplessly.

"That's what the commander said."

Miyano Road nodded a little, it is impossible to withdraw troops now because the 9th Brigade has lost two brigades.

It was not long after the battle began, and it was impossible to withdraw the troops, and at least half of Li Yunlong's troops had to be killed before it was possible to withdraw the troops.

However, looking at the current situation, the strength of the opponent is still beyond the expectations of Miyano Michiichi and Shinozuka Yoshinan.

No wonder Li Yunlong was able to eat the two infantry brigades of the Sakata Wing and the Ito Wing.

The other party, indeed, should not be underestimated!

"Commander."

Miyano Michiichi then said in a condensed voice: "In the direction of Liujia Town, because the enemy army has built reinforced concrete fortifications at the entrance of the town east of Liujia Town and the mountains on both sides, and the artillery responsible for covering the infantry attack is not powerful enough to hit and destroy the reinforced concrete fortifications built by the enemy. ”。

"Once the direction of Liujiazhen can't open the situation, I'm afraid that Nakamura Zhenxiong's counterattack on the independent regiment this time will be in vain!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the map, and then bowed his head to Miyano-michi, "What Miyano-kun said is true. ”。

"Didn't the 15th Brigade also allocate a dozen Type 95 light tanks to cover the infantry attack, and wouldn't it?"

Miyano Michiichi shook his head and said, "Commander, the Imperial Type 95 light tank only has one 37 mm caliber artillery, which is not as good as the concentrated artillery attack of the Type 92 artillery of the two artillery squadrons brought by the 15th Brigade with the army. ”。

"And similar to what Nakamura Zhenxiong reported, the 15th Brigade, I also sent a report to Okamoto Youichi to inquire, just like the battle outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, the other side not only laid mines within 200 meters of the front line of the town east of Liujia Town to delay the imperial infantry, but also used mines modified with artillery shells and other powerful explosives buried in the ground to counteract the imperial tanks."

After a pause, Michiichi Miyano continued, "The other side has dug anti-tank trenches in the forward position east of Liujia Town, and built anti-tank cones in hidden places, which is similar to the battle outside the east gate of Qingzhou City."

"Fortunately, the dozen or so tanks of the Second Tank Detachment that cooperated with the 15th Infantry Brigade in the attack only lost three, and the others were withdrawn in time, and there was no situation in which the Second Tank attacked and completely annihilated."

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, his face was solemn, "I didn't expect that Tubalu would actually effectively counter the large-scale tank forces gathered by the imperial army. ”

"It seems that we still have some contempt for the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

Although Miyano Michichi is reluctant to admit it, judging from the current battle results, the other party should have been clear about the existence of Nakamura Zhenxiong and the dispatch of tank troops.

Therefore, Li Yunlong has already made an effective way to deal with the tank attack of the imperial army.

"It seems that our previous plan to launch a counteroffensive against the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army at seven o'clock in the morning was correct."

Yoshinan Shinozuka said in a condensed voice: "During the day, it is reasonable for our aviation units to dispatch fighters to cooperate with the ground forces to attack. ”。

"The night battle itself has eliminated the superiority of our air force, and Nakamura Zhenxiong is underestimating the enemy."

Miyano Michiichi did not defend Nakamura Zhenxiong at this time, it is true that the Eighth Route Army is good at night battles, which is recognized.

Now you, Nakamura Zhenxiong, raided in the early morning, but unfortunately the other party has already prepared.

The failure of this early morning raid resulted in the loss of troops, including the two tank detachments that had been mobilized and concentrated, and the loss of one was enough for Nakamura Zhenxiong to pay attention to.

"Commander, now that the fighting has stopped, there is no sign of the Independent Regiment coming out to fight back."

Miyano Michichi then said in a condensed voice: "Li Yunlong is far more calm than we imagined!" ”。

"This person, from the front of Cangyun Ridge to fight out of the encirclement of the Bantian United, is not only courageous, but also very cunning!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said in a condensed voice: "Not bad." ”。

"It seems that we still don't pay enough attention to the independent regiment. At the entrance of the town east of Liujia Town, the reinforced concrete bunker fortifications built by the independent regiment could not blow up the reinforced concrete bunker fortifications built by the independent regiment with the caliber of the Type 92 infantry guns on the two artillery squadrons brought by the 15th Brigade and the regiment. ”

After thinking about it and looking at Liujiazhen on the map, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano: "Take advantage of the fact that there are still more than two hours before the day, and transfer a 105 mm caliber howitzer squad to the 15th Brigade Regiment!" ”。
