Chapter 171: Reinforcements from two squadrons
"Yes, anti-encirclement!"
Chief of Staff Kazuo Kaze hurriedly said loudly: "The ambush firepower is too fierce, captain, look at the surrounding mountains, all the commanding heights of the mountains that can be controlled by the enemy army." ”。
"We are at a disadvantage, we must ask the Wing Commander to send troops to support!"
Hearing this, Jiro Sada gritted his teeth and looked around the ambush circle.
I saw that the two companies of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, with an actual strength of more than 1,000 troops, were scattered in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road and laid ambushes.
The dense firepower has suppressed the imperial army ranks that are marching south in a long formation!
"Order all units to organize a counterattack on the spot, and order the signal corps to send a report to the wing commander in Shuocheng, reporting that we have been ambushed, requesting tactical support, requesting support!"
Sada Jiro didn't think much about it, knowing that Kazuo Kaze was right, and immediately ordered Kazuo Kase.
"Yes, Captain."
Kazuo Kaze hurriedly replied, and then immediately sent someone to give the order to counterattack on the spot.
The communication soldier immediately turned on the radio and sent an emergency message to Shuocheng!
At this time, Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, was lying on the top of the hill where the temporary ambush headquarters was located, condescendingly holding a telescope to observe the ambush battlefield.
"Boom, boom!!"
"Da-da-da, da-da!!"
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
The guns continued to roar, and the soldiers of a battalion and two companies on both sides of the road concentrated all their firepower, first blocking both ends of the road.
Then, concentrate the fire on the devil soldiers walking on the road and fire fiercely.
In an instant, at least under the machine-gun fire of the ambush soldiers, the devils on the road were killed at least a third of their troops.
"Well done!"
Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed, and then said to a soldier beside him: "Pass the order, concentrate firepower, don't be stingy with ammunition, you must give me ten minutes to get rid of this devil." ”。
"Yes, Battalion Commander."
The soldier who was called by Zhang Dabiao immediately went down to give the order.
As soon as the order to increase the fire attack, all the soldiers of the first battalion immediately fired one hot bullet after another without hesitation, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the ambushed devil soldiers.
And this forced Sada Jiro to hide and command a counterattack, but the terrain was unfavorable, and it was the ambushed side, so he was simply pressed and beaten, and he couldn't move.
"Baga, communications soldier, send a report to the wing captain again, ask for support!"
Sada Jiro was beaten out of temper, the enemy's firepower was fierce, and if he didn't ask for support, he would definitely lose all his casualties under the intensive attack of this kind of ambush enemy's firepower!
"Yes, Captain."
The devil communication soldier who was already by Sada Jiro's side immediately replied with a cat's head, and then immediately turned on the radio on the spot to send a message asking for support.
And a few minutes ago, inside the city of Shuocheng.
In the headquarters of the 73rd Infantry Wing under the 7th Brigade of the Devil, Wing Commander Kenzaburo Tabe looked at the urgent telegram for help sent by Jiro Sada with a gloomy face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Yaga, how did Jiro Sada do it? They were actually ambushed by the enemy army of His Highness again? Didn't he send scouts on the way back to reconnoiter the road? ”
Kenzaburo Tabe gritted his teeth angrily and said.
The chief of staff of the wing on the side, Izumi Tengtaro Shaozo, stubbornly persuaded, "Wing Commander, now is not the time to talk about this, Sada Jiro's brigade has been ambushed, and the fire of the ambush enemy must be very fierce. ”
"Otherwise, Jiro Sada wouldn't have sent the report in such a hurry!"
When Kenzaburo Tabe heard this, he endured his anger and did not continue to erupt, but looked at the military map placed on the table, moved his finger on it, and then said, "Jiro Sada is in a hurry, they have been ambushed by enemy troops here. ”。
"The army that ambushed the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army under His Highness Boyan has at least more than a thousand people, which is comparable to the strength in the hands of Sada Jiro, why don't you concentrate your forces to break through?"
The chief of staff of the wing, Izumi Totaro, pointed to the map and said bitterly: "Wing Commander, the terrain here is mountainous on both sides, which is suitable for ambushes. ”。
"They were ambushed, and the other side must have concentrated their forces to block both ends of the road, and then concentrated their forces to sweep the marching troops on the road."
After a pause, Izumi Tengtaro said with a solemn face: "Captain, in this case, the first round of ambush firepower must be full output, and Sada Jiro's brigade must have suffered heavy casualties!" ”。
Sure enough, without waiting for Kenzaburo Tabe to continue speaking, a devil communication staff officer in the wing headquarters hurriedly rushed to Kenzaburo Tabe and Taro Izumi and paused and said: "Report to the captain of the wing, chief of staff, Jiro Sada was in a hurry again, they were hit by the fire of the ambush enemy, and at present, the Sada brigade has suffered more than one-third of its troops." ”。
"Request Wing Commander's tactical guidance!"
Hearing this, Kenzaburo Tabe and Taro Izumi said in unison, "Nani? ”
Kenzaburo Tabe took the lead in snatching the telegram from the hand of the communications staff officer and looked at it quickly, and then slapped the telegram in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Eight Geyalu, Sada Jiro, this waste!" ”。
"Wing Captain !!"
The chief of staff of the 73rd Infantry Wing, Izumi Totaro Shaosa, then picked up the telegram and quickly read it and said: "Troops must be sent, otherwise Sada Jiro's brigade may be eaten by the enemy army that ambushed His Highness Hirohiko." ”。
"Now there is only the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the wing in the city, which is the defending force left behind in Shuocheng, the rear base of the front line, if it moves again, what will I do if the enemy army in the direction of Dulongzhai goes south?"
Kenzaburo Tabe gritted his teeth and said, "What's more, the place where Jiro Sada and they were ambushed is a full three kilometers away from Shuocheng. Eighteen minutes for a rapid march! ”
"Captain, if you don't send troops to reinforce Sada Jiro, if the Sada brigade is eaten, then Shuocheng will also be in big trouble."
Izumi Fujitaro said urgently.
"Yaga, damn it!"
After thinking about it, Kenzaburo Tabe also knew that if the Sata brigade was ambushed and eaten, there would only be one brigade left in Shuocheng's defending force at that time, wouldn't it be unstable in the rear?
"Concentrate the forces of the two squadrons out of the city to reinforce Sada Jiro, call back to Sada Jiro, the reinforcements have already set off, let them entangle the enemy army, cooperate with the reinforcements out of the city, and counter-encircle and eat the ambush enemy!"
Kenzaburo Tabe gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, Captain!"
Izumi Taro said heavily, and then immediately signaled the communications staff officer to go back immediately and call back to Sada Jiro to give the order.
However, at this time, Sada Jiro had already suffered heavy casualties under the ambush fire of two companies of a battalion commanded by Zhang Dabiao.
"Boom!!"
Another burst of artillery fire struck, and Jiro Sada, who was hiding from the covert organization of a counterattack, and the chief of staff next to him, Captain Kazuo Kase, were splashed with dirt and dust from the shells.
"The captain, the captain, and the wing commander have called back, and two squadrons of reinforcements have been sent to reinforce our department!"
At this moment, the communications corps made an urgent report to Jiro Sada.
