"Yaga..."

Harada Kiyozo Daisa was shocked and angry, didn't he send scouts to the two wings, why was he still surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army?

The scouts under him are all the elite of the A division, but they are not the most elite soldiers.

The most elite group of soldiers was picked up by Yamamoto Kazuki and went to Beiping to participate in the special team training.

Some of these unqualified soldiers had to be sent back to their original units after the training, but the training has not yet ended.

As a result, the devil's reconnaissance ability has decreased greatly.

Most of the reconnaissance companies of the infantry battalions of the new regiment are elite veterans, and they have even been trained by the troops of the Sword Brigade.

Before the large force moved towards the battlefield, the reconnaissance companies of each battalion took the first step to deal with the scouts of these devils.

Although there were sporadic battles, the attention of Harada Kiyozo Osa and other devils was almost all on the frontal battlefield.

When the large force of the new regiment completed the encirclement, nearly 100 75-mm mountain guns assembled in the distance began to shell the devils.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

400 rounds of 75-millimeter shells per minute exploded in the devil's formation, raising dense smoke of explosion.

Although interspersed with rapid marches, the 75-mm mountain guns were lightweight and could be disassembled and transported by mule.

Each infantry battalion carried 12 75-mm mountain guns from each mountain artillery battery.

"Yaga."

There were constant explosions around him, and looking at the elite of the 12th Infantry Wing who were constantly falling in a pool of blood, Harada Kiyozo Osa's eyes were split.

"Retreat, retreat!"

While dodging artillery fire, Harada Kiyozo Osa gave the order to retreat.

Fortunately, the formation of the devils is relatively large, and the Eighth Route Army uses not heavy artillery, but 75-mm mountain artillery.

The casualties of the 12th Infantry Wing were heavy, but they did not suffer heavy losses all at once.

If the 75-mm mountain gun is replaced with a 122-mm howitzer, this kind of high-explosive grenade with a larger caliber, greater power, longer range, and more terrifying explosion shock wave range only needs half a base of artillery bombardment when the devil does not even have a bunker.

It can directly inflict heavy damage on the 12th Infantry Wing, and then the infantry rushes up to harvest corn.

The trails were interspersed with infiltration, allowing only mules and horses to carry 75-mm mountain guns, as well as 82-mm and 60-mm mortars.

122-mm howitzer, which can only be transported by road and rail.

With the order of Harada Kiyozo Daisa, the devils regained their strong nature and continued to attack the encirclement defense line of the new regiment.

But the 60-mm and 82-mm mortars of the Eighth Route Army, as well as M2 heavy machine guns and Bazookas.

As well as the various firepower of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns, and Type 56 light machine guns, forming an impermeable firepower network.

The captains and squadron leaders of the 12th Wing of the Devil Infantry led their troops to charge in a pig rush, but all of them were repulsed.

Not far away, more troops of the Eighth Route Army arrived and joined the battle against the devils.

The 26th Battalion of the new 1st Regiment was the vanguard, and the vanguard of the remaining 9 battalions was about 5 kilometers away from the 26th Battalion.

When the infantry battalions received the order, they rushed over like a group of sharks smelling blood.

This wolf has more meat and less meat, and those who run fast eat meat, and those who run slowly have no soup to drink.

"Your Excellency, this is not the way to go!"

"Listening to the gunshots, there are more and more Eighth Route Army around!"

Beside Harada Kiyozo Osa, Saburo Takahashi, who had hung up the color, said with a pale face.

At this time, Harada Kiyozo Dazuo also regretted it very much, he should not have saved the 1st Squadron, otherwise the main force of the 12th Infantry Wing would not have been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

Listening to the increasingly dense gunfire around him, Harada Kiyozo Dasa knew that he had stabbed the nest of the Eighth Route Army.

But now he has nothing to do, the Eighth Route Army around him has at least tens of thousands of people, and the weapons and equipment are better than theirs.

Today, I'm afraid I'm going to break the jade here.

But as a soldier of the empire, even if it is a broken jade, you have to tear off a bone of the enemy!

"Gentlemen!"

Thinking of this, Harada Kiyozo Dazuo looked at the officers and soldiers gathered around him, brushed out Dasa's sword, and said in a fierce tone:

"The time has come to be loyal to the empire and the locusts!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is onboard, and His Majesty the Locust is onboard!"

"Hey."

As soon as Harada Kiyozo's voice fell, a group of devil officers and soldiers bowed their heads in unison, and their tones were fanatical:

"The Great Japanese Empire is onboard, and His Majesty the Locust is onboard!"

As the 12th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army's First Division, the officers and soldiers not only have strong combat effectiveness and rich combat experience, but also have full bushido spirit and willpower attributes, and are ready to be loyal to the locusts at any time.

"Gentlemen, see you at Kudansaka!"

Takahashi Saburo was holding a Shaosa katana in one hand and a Wanghachi box in the other, and his tone was resolute.

"Kudanzaka."

A group of devil officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

In the midst of the sound of madness and fanaticism, and in the continuous sound of artillery fire, the devils jumped up and rushed towards the defense line of the Eighth Route Army.

But at this moment, there was a deafening roar in the sky.

Kiyozo Harada and Saburo Takahashi looked up and saw a series of fighters and bombers of the Eighth Route Army swooping down on them.

"Yaga..."

In the continuous sound of artillery fire, Harada Kiyozo finally scolded in despair.

With so many troops and such a strong firepower, they actually called for air support... The Eighth Route Army didn't give the 12th Infantry Wing any way to live.

Dense aerial bombs fell like dumplings in the devil's formation.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Dense explosive fireballs and gunpowder smoke rose in the devil's formation, and the power of napalm and aerial bombs was dozens of times greater than that of 75-mm mountain guns.

Many fanatical devil officers and soldiers, including Harada Kiyozo and Takahashi Saburo, were burned to ashes by napalm and torn to shreds by aerial bombs.

Wait until the planes of the 1st Flying Group of the new regiment fly away.

After the napalm was burned, the new regiment of infantry came out of the bunker and rushed up to harvest the last wave of corn.

……

Shimen City.

Japanese Command.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 12th Infantry Wing has just sent a farewell telegram."

The communications staff officer walked in quickly and bowed his head to Takashi Takashi and reported.

"Nani?" Takamori raised his head suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?" Farewell telegram? ”

Seio Nishihara and Masao Watanabe, the commander of the 56th Division, also cast an unbelievable gaze.

The 40th Division was mainly defended in Zhengding, the 56th Division and the 11th Division, as well as some puppet army units, defended in Shimen City.

An infantry brigade of the 11th Division was only hit hard, could it be that the 12th Infantry Wing was about to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army?

This is simply unimaginable, even if the 12th Infantry Wing encounters the main force of the new regiment, it is impossible to be wiped out in a few hours, right? The 12th Infantry Wing is all iron-footed, can't it beat the Eighth Route Army?

Yaga... What the hell is going on?

Taking a deep breath, Takamori asked again with certainty: "Are you sure it's a farewell telegram?" ”

"Hey." The communications staff officer replied affirmatively, "It's a farewell telegram!" The telegram content is only two words, and finally. ”

"After our communications department received these two words, the radio signal of the 12th Wing disappeared."

While reporting, the communications staff officer handed over the telegram in his hand with both hands.

Takashi Takamori took the telegram and looked at it, then tore it to shreds, and it instantly turned into a rage mode.

He first overturned all the documents, maps, cups, scales, and pencils on the table, and then angrily pulled out the lieutenant general's command knife and slashed it indiscriminately.

In just two days, an infantry brigade was heavily damaged, an infantry wing was completely annihilated, and the 11th Division had never suffered such heavy losses.

And so far, before the Eighth Route Army has begun its official offensive, he has already lost his troops.

The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is truly terrifying.

When the Eighth Route Army begins its official offensive, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to resist.

After venting, Takashi Takashi took back the command knife of the lieutenant general from the scabbard: "Nishihara-kun." ”

Seio Nishihara stood up and listened to the instructions.

"Immediately send the news of all the jade shatters of the 12th Infantry Wing to the North China Front Command."

"And ask for tactical guidance."

Lieutenant General Takashi Takashi Takashi gave the order in a cold tone.

Seio Nishihara: "Hi. ”

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

With the deployment of troops by the Eighth Route Army, and the outbreak of local battles between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, the officers of the entire North China Front Army were also busy.

In the communications room, the telegraph was ticking and ticking, and everywhere you could see the hurried devil staff officers and officers.

All the devil staff officers and officers had the same solemn faces.

Li Yunlong is going to attack North China!

The current devils, when they hear Li Yunlong's three words, their expressions will involuntarily become solemn.

At this time.

In the battle hall of the headquarters, Okamura Ningji looked at a huge and accurate map on the wall, and his brows were furrowed.

The 12th Infantry Wing, which went to the Zhengtai Railway to ambush, encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army at the junction of Pingshan County and Jingcheng County, which was very unusual.

This was most likely an interspersed tactic of the Eighth Route Army, so Okamura Ninji had already ordered the reconnaissance planes of the 6th Division to take off from Shenyang Airport and go to the south and north of Shimen City to reconnoitre.

The 12th Infantry Wing, on the other hand, had to disengage from the main force of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it was an encounter, maybe the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was also confused, maybe the 12th Infantry Wing at this time had reached a safe place.

However, it was necessary to disperse the 12th Infantry Wing into Shimen City.

If it was a concentrated transfer, then the 12th Infantry Wing would probably be bombed by the planes of the Eighth Route Army, and suffer heavy losses or even heavy losses.

This is no longer the case.

The current Eighth Route Army is very difficult to deal with, and once the slightest flaw is revealed, it is very likely that the Eighth Route Army will seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the locust army must not make mistakes in this battle.

"General."

At this time, Osamu Kitani, a communications staff officer, ran in quickly with a telegram in his hand:

"The commander of the 11th Division, Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori, is in an emergency!"

"Read!"

It's another emergency telegram, Okamura Ningji's expression is grim, could it be that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack Shimen City?

"The 12th Infantry Wing has been completely shattered, and Lieutenant General Takashi Takashi Takamori has requested tactical guidance."

Osamu Kitani's words left Okamura Ningji dumbfounded.
