Chapter 258: Lao Tzu killed a devil major general.
In the field of view of Li Yunlong's telescope.
The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army swooped down on the left and right flanks of the Japanese position.
The horse's hooves rolled, and the knife flashed.
At this time, although the bombers and fighters had flown away, the Japanese position was still a sea of fire, and it was impossible for the cavalry battalion to charge into the sea of fire.
The mountain occupied by a few devils was full of flames, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and if something was touched by sparks, it would burn endlessly.
Fortunately, the area is all bare loess with only a few drought-tolerant bushes, and the rocks are bare, and if there were forests, it would have caused a fire.
Several regiments of infantry followed behind the cavalry and launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the remaining devils.
Not long after, the figures of the cavalry disappeared from Li Yunlong's telescope.
……
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the telegram has been sent."
The headquarters of the 9th Brigade, communications staff officer Kenjiro Maruda made a first call to Koshibu Tiger's Suke.
The figure of the Tiger of the Upper Life looked a little rickety, and his face was like ashes, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Only a squadron of escorts remained, as well as a communications squad.
The entire 9th Brigade, with more than 8,000 people, has been fought in several battles, and now there are only more than 200 people left, and they are basically killed except for some wounded soldiers.
The loss was too great, and the heart of the Tiger was already as cold and hard as a rock in the war, and he couldn't stand such a big blow for a while.
Koshisho Tiger no Suke ordered, "Turn in immediately!" ”
"Brigade commander." The combat staff officer looked hesitant and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Yuesheng Tiger Nosuke said: "Go to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold!" ”
The combat staff officer said: "Brigade commander, I suggest turning to the north, so that we will soon meet the 37th Division, and we will be safe." ”
"What do you know?"
Yuesheng Tiger Nosuke said coldly: "There is still a base ammunition of the 9th Brigade in the Huting stronghold, this batch of ammunition must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Road, we must go to the Huting stronghold to dispose of this batch of weapons and ammunition." ”
This time the 9th brigade brought ammunition from two bases.
Prepare to wait for Mashiko to advance the team, and after completing the beheading of the Eight Roads, take advantage of the situation that the Eight Roads are in their own battles.
Then it attacked the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division on three sides, and leveled the Eighth Route Base Area in one fell swoop.
When they came out to fight, the soldiers and artillerymen only carried one base of ammunition, and the other base of ammunition was still in the Huting stronghold.
"Hey!" The combat staff officer turned around and gave orders.
At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the left and right flanks.
A devil soldier hurriedly ran over and reported: "A large number of Eighth Route cavalry have been found on the left and right flanks!" ”
"Nani?" The face of the squadron leader of the personal guard of the Koshibu Tiger no Suke changed, "Please get on the horse immediately, the brigade commander!" ”
Seeing that the groom brought the horse over, Yue Shenghu no Suke was not hypocritical, and immediately turned over on the horse.
Several staff officers also turned on their horses one after another, and then rode their horses in the direction that Huting was afraid of, and quickly whipped away.
"Alternate cover retreat!" The leader of the devil squadron shouted, "Ha Ya Gu, Ha Ya Gu!" ”
……
Taiyuan.
The headquarters of the First Army.
Several Japanese combat staff officers drew red and blue arrows on the map representing the situation of the enemy and the enemy.
The Japanese 36th Division, 37th Division, and 29th Brigade attacked from three directions in the area of Dagou Bay.
In addition to the 36th Division, which had just set off, the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade had already exchanged fire with the blocking forces of the Eighth Road.
However, these blocking troops were not a new regiment after all, and they could not stop the pace and offensive of the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade.
Yoshio Shinozuka is full of ambition.
It only takes the 9th Brigade to hold the Eighth Road for a day, and the Eighth Road will only be dumplings.
And it's also a dumpling stuffed with fish.
The chief of staff on the side, Kusuyama Hideyoshi, was faintly uneasy: "Your Excellency, commander, I always feel that something is wrong?" ”
Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I can't tell." Kusuyama Hideyoshi frowned, "But I always feel like something is going to happen." ”
Yoshio Shinozuka persuaded: "It seems that Nanshan-kun, you haven't come out of the defeat in the last battle. ”
"There is an old saying in China, called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the imperial army has defeated most of China, and a small defeat in the battle of Guanjiayuan is nothing."
"The reason for the failure of the central flowering tactics last time was mainly due to the small number of troops and the failure of Yamazaki Yehei's command."
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said confidently and continued: "This time, I use more than 6,000 elites of the imperial army in most of the brigade as bait to catch fish in the eight roads, and it is impossible to fail. ”
"Thank you, Commander, for your enlightenment."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly felt a lot brighter.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Communications staff officer Toshimatsu Kasai walked quickly to Yoshio Shinozuka and reported, "I just received a telegram from the 9th Brigade, the 9th Brigade..."
"What happened to the 9th Brigade?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked casually.
Yoshio Shinozuka took a sip of tea lightly, his expression relaxed, and he didn't realize that a tragedy had happened.
Kusunyama Hideyoshi and Takeo Anten, who were standing on the side, also raised their heads, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
Although more than 3,000 people in the 9th Brigade were heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route, the other 3,000 people were still the elite of the Japanese army.
Moreover, the commander of the Major General Brigade Yue Shenghu no Suke has always been brave and resourceful in fighting.
In the case of a frontal battle with the Eighth Road, the 3,000 elite Japanese troops led by Koshii Toranosuke would never be wiped out by the Eighth Route so quickly.
No one thought about it.
Kasai Toshimatsu paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Except for the 9th Brigade Squadron and the Communication Squad, the rest of the soldiers and officers are all broken!" ”
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed greatly, and he suddenly raised his head, "All the jade is broken?" ”
The pupils of Hideyoshi Kusuyama and Takeo An Teng next to him suddenly shrank, casting a shocked gaze in disbelief.
Yoshio Shinozuka's first reaction was not to believe it at all, and his tone was firm: "This is impossible!" ”
Nanshan Hideyoshi also frowned and said: "A few minutes ago, Major General Koshisheng Toranosuke just sent a telegram, promising to complete the task of maneuvering with the Eighth Road, only a few minutes have passed, how can it be all broken?" ”
"Maybe the code was deciphered by the enemy?" Intelligence staff officer Takeo An Teng asked tentatively: "The enemy sent a fake telegram?" ”
"This is not possible." Toshimatsu Kasai said, "In this combat operation, the latest radio code was used between the various units and the headquarters, and it was impossible for Hachiji to decipher the code in such a short time. ”
Nanshan Hideyoshi snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily, even the sneak attack battle plan has been leaked, maybe the leaker handed over the codebook to the Eighth Road?" ”
After speaking, Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at Yoshio Shinozuka.
Speaking of which, Yoshio Shinozuka has a headache, and the two people who are currently the most suspicious are him and Kazuki Yamamoto.
Me and Yamamoto-kun, who is the inner ghost?
Although Yoshio Shinozuka is very reluctant to doubt Yamamoto Kazuki, no matter how you look at it, Yamamoto Kazuki seems to be inseparable.
Kasai Toshimatsu was heard to continue: "The telegram said that the Imperial Army was attacked by a group of bombers of unknown origin two kilometers west of Dawangou, and the bombers and fighters were of a type he had never seen before, and the positions of the Imperial Army were carpet bombed..."
"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face instantly turned black, "Where did the plane come from?" ”
"It's not clear." Kasai Toshimatsu said, "However, Major General Koshibu Toranosuke is still alive, but the troops around him only have an escort squadron and a communications team. ”
"Ando-kun!" Yoshio Shinozuka turned his head and said, "Within one day, you can immediately find out the initiators of this air raid and find the enemy's plane and airfield." ”
"Hey!" An Teng Wunan, an intelligence staff officer, paused, and walked out quickly.
"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka grabbed the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
With a ding, the fine blue and white porcelain teacup shattered, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who was still angry, grabbed the newly drawn map on the table, tore it to pieces, and angrily pulled out the command knife and smashed the sand table that several combat staff officers had done halfway to pieces.
Yoshio Shinozuka's chest rose and fell violently, and he raised his wrist to look at the table below, and it was almost noon at this time.
Even if it was more than 6,000 pigs, the Eighth Route did not finish killing them so quickly, and in this morning, more than 6,000 imperial troops were almost killed by the Eighth Road.
Looking at Yoshio Shinozuka, who was almost crazy, Kusunayama Hideyoshi thought to himself, saying that a good victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers?
……
The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army bypassed the sea of fire from the left and right flanks, and then joined forces again.
Koshibu Toranosuke's escort squadrons alternately covered and fled.
The strength of a squadron of devils was in front of more than 500 cavalrymen, and it only took a moment to resist before breaking through the defensive line.
The cavalry continued to pursue, leaving the undead devils to the infantry.
Sun Desheng led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to chase for a long time, and saw more than a dozen devils running wildly on horses two or three hundred meters ahead.
Several of them were still wearing the uniforms of devil officers.
While running wildly, the devil took a rifle and pistol and shot at the Eighth Route Army in the rear.
It's just that these devils are not professional cavalrymen, and their marksmanship on horseback is very touching, and it is basically difficult to hit people.
On the contrary, it was the soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the new regiment, and every two or three shots rang out, a devil fell off his horse with a scream.
In particular, Sun Desheng's marksmanship is almost like a gun biting flesh, and the cavalry battalion equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles is much stronger than the Japanese army's 44-type infantry rifle in terms of firepower.
The riding skills of this group of devils are not as good as the professional cavalry, and they are getting closer and closer to being pulled by the cavalry battalion, and there are more and more devils who are hit and fall off their horses.
In addition to Yue Shenghu Zhisuke, the other six or seven devil officers and soldiers grabbed the reins and stopped, turned their horses' heads, drew their command sabers and held rifles and bayonets, and made a decisive attack on the Eighth Route Army, giving their brigade commanders a moment to escape for their lives.
However, Sun Desheng and the soldiers didn't play with the devil at all.
A volley of bullets hit it, and the six or seven devil officers and soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.
The cavalry roared over, and these devils who fell off their horses were instantly trampled into meat cakes by iron hooves.
Sun Desheng raised his semi-automatic rifle and pulled the trigger, and with a snap of a gunshot, the last devil officer 200 meters ahead fell off his horse.
At this time, Sun Desheng's right hand was raised and clenched into a fist and made a gesture to stop advancing, and the Eighth Route Cavalry slowed down and slowly stopped.
Sun Desheng put the semi-automatic rifle on his back, pulled out the cloud dragon knife with a brush, and urged the war horse under his crotch to run over.
With the blade of the Cloud Dragon Knife slashing, the head and body of the devil officer were suddenly separated.
Sun Desheng turned over and dismounted, turned the devil's body over, saw the epaulettes of the devil officer, and said in an excited tone: "Dog's day, Lao Tzu killed a devil major general." ”
