Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up from his office chair and looked at Toshimatsu Kasai, a communications staff officer:

"The 62nd Wing of the 21st Division was ambushed by the Eighth Route on the way to Taiyuan and asked for help from the First Army?"

The eyes and tone of this sword master and commander of the First Army were a little incredulous and a little panicked.

During this period of time, the Eighth Route in the southeast of Jin Province was divided a lot, not only did not launch a major offensive, but even ambushes, harassments, and artillery towers became less than before.

This was expected by him, the Eighth Route suffered heavy losses, the ammunition consumption was extremely high, and it was in urgent need of rest and replenishment.

As for the supplement.

Even if there is outside assistance from the Eighth Road, at most it is a regiment-level assistance, but it is only a drop in the bucket.

The current Yoshio Shinozuka only thinks about honorable retirement, so he plans to have a well water with the Eight Roads not to violate the river water, and not to provoke the Eight Roads, but often things are just afraid of something.

He didn't go to provoke Balu, but Balu wanted to provoke him.

It will take at least a little more than a month to attack Nakajo Mountain.

During this period, it is necessary to mobilize troops and materials, so the railway needs to be defended by troops.

In the case that the forces of the 2nd Guards Division and the 37th Division have not yet been replenished, the strength of the defense of the Zhengtai Railway is greatly insufficient.

The 62nd Wing was applied by Yoshio Shinozuka to defend Yangquan and its nearby Zhengtai Railway, but he never expected to be attacked by the Eighth Route in the middle of the road.

"Hey!"

Kasai Toshimatsu lowered his head, handed the telegram in his hand to Yoshio Shinozuka, and continued: "This telegram was sent by Lieutenant General Tanaka Kuichi, the commander of the 21st Division, without stating the location or the strength of the Eighth Road, only saying that the situation is very critical, the Eighth Road is equipped with powerful artillery, and the 62nd Wing has suffered most casualties. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka took the telegram and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, there was powerful artillery, and most of the casualties of the 62nd Wing?

This is by no means an ordinary Eighth Route Army!

Things are getting bigger, and Yoshio Shinozuka's face is becoming more and more ugly.

"I didn't even say the location, how can I save it?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

Kasai Toshimatsu said: "Your Excellency Commander, I have contacted the communications department of the 21st Wing, and learned that the military column of the 62nd Wing departed from Jingcheng Railway Station an hour ago, and if the military train is attacked, it should be near Niangzi Pass at this time. ”

"Lady off?"

Yoshio Shinozuka walked quickly to the map, found the Niangzi Pass on the map, quickly glanced at it, and then stared.

"Dragon King Convex!"

"Immediately order the First Army Aviation to rush to the aid of the 62nd Wing, and the defenders of Niangziguan and Jingcheng County will immediately send troops to help!"

Yoshio Shinozuka pushed his glasses, staring at the dragon king with his eyes, and then ordered.

Kasai Toshimatsu said: "Your Excellency Commander, after the pilots of the 9th Flying Squadron were shattered, the Front Army Command has not sent new pilots. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka then remembered that his baby pilots had all been killed by Li Yunlong's special forces.

The aviation unit that assisted in sweeping the base area of the Eighth Route Army was the 8th Flying Brigade directly under the North China Front.

At this time, the 8th Flying Team had been recalled by Tada, and only a few reconnaissance planes remained.

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly slapped the table:

"Yaga!"

"Order the defenders of Niangziguan and Jingcheng County to immediately send troops to help!"

The teacups, folders, and other things on the table were slammed and jumped, and Kasai Toshimatsu's heart was also frightened.

"Hey!"

Toshimatsu Kasai hurriedly lowered his head and quickly ran out to deliver the order.

……

The battle of the dragon king convex went even more smoothly than expected.

The new regiment occupies the advantage of terrain and firepower, coupled with the suddenness of the attack, a large number of explosives were planted in advance to explode a wave, dense bullet fire and 87 artillery pieces washed the ground, the devils on the military column could not organize decent resistance at all, plus all the retreat routes were blocked, even if the devils wanted to escape, they could not escape at all.

Seeing that most of the carriages had been blown up, Li Yunlong picked up the high-power walkie-talkie and shouted: "Stop the shelling, all units stop shelling!" ”

Soon, the whistling of shells in the sky gradually thinned out until it disappeared completely.

"Infantry, press me up!"

Li Yunlong took the low-power walkie-talkie again and said to the walkie-talkie.

A moment later, the sound of a hurried charge sounded from below, and the warriors leaped from behind the dirt slope.

"Kill!" Immediately after, there was an overwhelming shout of killing!

More than 2,000 soldiers from the first and second battalions descended the mountain like Menghu and killed the devil.

Although both the 1st and 2nd Battalions had suffered casualties in the last battle, they had already been replenished in terms of ammunition expended, combat and non-combat attrition.

The soldiers rushed to the front, saw the corpse of the devil, and shot him first, whether he was dead or alive.

When ammunition is low, when the battlefield is cleaned, it is to stab the devil with a bayonet.

In this case, it is easy to be dragged to death by the devils, and some devils pretend to be injured or pretend to be dead, and then pull the grenade when you come over and die with you.

Now the fighters can prevent this from happening by shooting at the devils on the ground from a distance of a few meters.

Under this firepower density, although there were some devils who were lucky enough to survive, they were quickly eliminated.

When cleaning the train cars, the soldiers were also very cautious, placing several bundles of explosives directly under the carriages, and then pulling the fire ropes.

With the earth-shattering explosion, the entire carriage was blown up, not to mention the devils who survived by luck.

Not long after, all the carriages that had not been blown up in the shelling were blown up with explosive packs.

However, although the battle and cleaning up the battlefield went smoothly, this method of fighting did not capture any weapons and ammunition at all.

A Japanese wing had about 3,000 guns, but after this battle, it was not bad to be able to capture 200 guns.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong is now very rich, and he is not here for seizure, but for killing the devil.

Moreover, even if you don't capture a single bullet for a gun, it doesn't matter, the business makes a lot of money, that's the big one.

Zhao Gang raised his watch and glanced at it, it was less than half an hour from the beginning of the battle to the end of cleaning the battlefield.

It was at least half an hour faster than he expected, and even the devils didn't have time to help.

This is an infantry wing, a formed infantry wing.

In less than half an hour, an entire Japanese infantry wing was annihilated, and since the Lugou Bridge incident, it seems that there has never been such an example in the whole of China.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhao Gang said: "In less than half an hour, the devil's reinforcements are estimated to have just set off, if our blocking troops retreat at this time, there will be no exchange of fire with the devils, if the devils don't send planes, maybe we can really make history and annihilate a wing of the Japanese army at the cost of zero casualties." ”

"Humph!" Li Yunlong looked satisfied, "Otherwise, you think I'm joking with you." ”

At this time, a report on the walkie-talkie that the battlefield of each battalion had been cleaned up.

Li Yunlong picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Pass my order and retreat according to the original route!" ”

Subsequently, Li Yunlong picked up a high-power walkie-talkie and ordered the county brigade and the fourth battalion responsible for blocking the attack to retreat.

Immediately, the fighters of the 1st and 2nd battalions retreated in an orderly manner with what little loot they had captured.

More than an hour after the new regiment left, the devil reinforcements from Niangziguan arrived belatedly, looking at the train carriages that had been blown to pieces, as well as corpses, stumps, broken arms and minced flesh all over the ground.

was so angry that the captain of the devil team slashed with a knife.

"Yaga!"

At the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news, was speechless in shock at first, and then angrily lifted the documents, pulled out his command knife and chopped the table into pieces.

It's too much to deceive, and the eight roads are too deceitful.

Although the 62nd Wing was not from the First Army, the matter was on the territory of the First Army.

He Yoshio Shinozuka has to carry it.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka quickly calmed down, and he didn't have to worry about having more debts, and he didn't itch if he had more lice.

The shame of the First Army is too much, and it doesn't matter if it adds another shame, anyway, he will be honorably discharged soon.

Swing rotten.

At this moment, Kazuki Yamamoto walked in with a saber on his shoulder and red eyes.

Yamamoto Kazuki bowed his head and said: "General, I heard Kasai-kun say that the 62nd Wing was ambushed by the Eighth Route at Niangzi Pass, and all the jade was shattered?" ”

During this time, Kazuki Yamamoto and his special forces were arranged by Yoshio Shinozuka to go anywhere at the Inner City Protection Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked up at Kazuki Yamamoto with a slightly surprised expression: "That's right! ”

"What about the 62nd Wing Commander Isamu Yamamoto?" Kazuki Yamamoto asked.

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Didn't Kasai-kun tell you that Yuta Yamamoto was shot in the left chest and was broken in two, and he has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Kazuki Yamamoto's cheeks twitched twice, indicating that he was in pain at this time, but he suppressed it.

This is very similar to the Reaper sniper of the Eighth Route Army armed with a large-caliber sniper rifle, but it can only be determined after looking at the corpse.

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "Yamamoto-kun, do you know Yamamoto Yongdazuo?" ”

"Isamu Yamamoto is my cousin." Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "He is my uncle's only son. ”

"Mourning!" Yoshio Shinozuka walked up to Yamamoto Kazuki's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Yamamoto is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, he is a warrior of the Empire, and the Empire will remember him." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka thought to himself, what happened, although there was a reason why the Eighth Road was low-key during this period of time and neglected to take precautions, but the main reason was that the information of the 62nd Wing was leaked.

Even the Eighth Route Army knew the train time very clearly, and after the Eighth Route Army got the news in advance, it ambushed the military column of the 62nd Wing halfway.

It can be seen from this that Kazuki Yamamoto is by no means an internal ghost of the First Army Headquarters, and he will definitely not betray his cousin.

It's a pity that he is about to retire with honor, and he can't reuse Yamamoto Kazuki anymore.

Yamamoto Kazuki paused: "Thank you, General!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yamamoto-kun, you and your younger brother are both excellent soldiers in the empire, and before I leave the First Army, I will give you a copy of the military exploits that have gained a foothold in the army." ”

"General, you're leaving the First Army?"

Yamamoto Kazuki's face was startled, and he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I'm retiring."

Yoshio Shinozuka said self-deprecatingly: "After so many defeats and so many losses of imperial warriors, His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp let me retire, Yamamoto-kun, you are still young, the battlefield belongs to you young people, after I leave, I hope that Yamamoto-kun will continue to expand the territory for His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire." ”

"Hey!"

Yamamoto Kazuki bowed his head: "Follow the general's teachings!" ”

After speaking, Yamamoto walked out and walked to the door, Yamamoto Kazuki stopped, turned to Shinozuka Yoshio and nodded: "General, I can be a soldier under you, I am fortunate to have three lives of humble service, and I will never forget the grace of your acquaintance in this life." ”

After finishing speaking, Yamamoto Kazuki gave a military salute, turned around and walked out.
