"Report!"

"The third brigade is under attack by the dirt eight roads!"

"Report!"

"The 1st Brigade is under attack by the Dirt Eight Road!"

"Report!"

"The Fifth Brigade is under attack by the Eighth Path!"

Report ......

Staff officers keep coming.

It's all bad news.

This made Yuo Hiraku very irritable.

As the brigade commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, he was the first to arrive at the front line in Ping'an County.

Before that, Yuo Hiraku felt that he had a chance to make a contribution. The recovery of Ping'an County is just around the corner. It was impossible for the Tsuchihachi Road to engage the Japanese on the plains.

Unless they're crazy.

Unexpectedly, Tubalu is really crazy.

Not only did he fight against Dohachi on the plains, but he also wiped out the Kasawara Wing!

This had a great impact on Yuo Hiraku.

He immediately changed from his previous arrogance to his current agitation.

The reason for the anxiety is very simple, he has only one independent mixed brigade. In case it is eaten by Dirt Eight Road......

Why such a scary thought?

Yuo Hiraku himself couldn't explain it.

After all, I have an independent mixed brigade!

The strength of the army is close to seven thousand!

There are also two separate mixed brigades in the back!

And a heavy artillery wing!

With so many troops, can't you recover a small county town?

Not to mention the 29 division......

Oh, just received the latest news, the 29th Division continues to go north.

Because Fanxian County was also attacked by Tubalu. The 29th Division had to go to the rescue of Fanxian. Therefore, in the battle on the Southern Front, there were only three independent mixed brigades.

All of them were under the direct command of the command of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

"Your Excellency, General, they should all be suspicious soldiers of the Eighth Road, attacking sporadically, with the purpose of slowing down our advance. We should accelerate our progress. ”

"Nope."

Yuo Hiraku did not agree with the opinion of Chief of Staff Yoshio Tsuneoka.

He is very cautious now. Don't dare to venture easily. Otherwise, Kasawara Koizumi is his fate.

"Order the troops to report the losses."

"Yes!"

The staff officer went out to give orders.

Yuo Hiraku kept a close eye on the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade behind.

He feared that he would be divided and surrounded.

In case the dirt hachi road is inserted from the middle......

The 5th Separate Mixed Brigade was less than thirty kilometers away from him. It stands to reason that it can only be reached in five hours on foot.

With such a short distance, even if there are dirt roads trying to intersperse and divide, it is impossible to do it.

However, Yuo Hiraku has always had this concern.

If you are surrounded, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Your Excellency General......"

The chief of staff stopped talking.

He felt that the brigade commander was too careful.

The Japanese army concentrated more than 20,000 troops to attack a county town!

How could it fail?

Will the Dirt Eighth Road be able to stop the attack of 20,000 Japanese troops?

No way!

When pigs fly!

Therefore, the Japanese army only needs to rush and fight!

With such a little firepower as the Eighth Road, it is not as good as a brigade of the Japanese army. A single charge can be defeated.

I don't know what's going on with the Kasawara United. It was actually wiped out by the dirt eight roads.

Because the headquarters of the First Army was very secretive about the demise of the Kasawara Wing. I didn't go into details. Therefore, the other units of the Japanese army did not know the details.

Yoshio Tsuneoka did not know the equipment of the Tsuchihachi Road in front of him at all. Or judging by the previous data.

But Isamu Hiraku vaguely knew something. But he didn't dare to say it easily.

Talking nonsense can easily be accused of being a coward and then punished.

"Report!"

Finally, a staff officer arrived.

Brought an update on casualties reported from the front.

"The 1st Brigade lost 130 ......"

"The 3rd Brigade lost 90 ......"

"The 4th Brigade lost 180 people......"

"Nani?"

The chief of staff felt incredible.

The fourth brigade actually lost one hundred and eighty people. How is this lost?

One hundred and eighty people!

That's a whole squadron!

Just after making contact with the Dirt Eighth Road, the Fourth Brigade lost a squadron?

Yaga!

How did they fight?

How could it be that a squadron was wiped out by Tubalu in one shot!

The commander must apologize for his seppuku!

Rubbish!

"They report ......"

The staff officer snorted, not daring to say it directly.

Yuo Hiraku waved his hand.

"The fourth brigade reported that the fire they encountered was extremely strong, and they were elusive, and they left after the fight......"

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Tsuneoka scolded angrily.

Excuse!

It's all a pretext!

It's all excuses!

It's the troops at the front that are too incompetent!

What is called the extremely strong firepower of the Dirt Eight Road? It's a shame that they say it!

With such firepower, can it be called extremely strong?

"Tsuneoka-kun!"

Yuo Hiraku waved his hand. Let the staff officer leave.

The chief of staff, Yoshio Toneoka, shut up stupidly.

"Toneoka-kun, there are field guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns on the Eighth Road......

"Nani?"

"Otherwise, how do you think Kasahara-kun broke the jade?"

"Dirt Eight Road ......"

Yoshio Tsuneoka felt incredible.

Where did this come from? How did you not know?

"It was a friend of the aviation who told me."

"The aviation was near Ping'an County, losing two aircraft. All were shot down by anti-aircraft weapons of the Dirt Eight Road. ”

"Also, Tsuneoka-kun, do you remember that the Kasawara Wing has a squadron of chariots?"

Yuo Hiraku said slowly.

Yoshio Tsuneoka's face gradually turned pale. It's getting uglier and uglier.

Damn it!

I don't know anything!

The chief of staff of an independent mixed brigade doesn't know anything!

Why?

Why should the boss hide it?

Why don't you tell yourself? What are they worried about?

Are you worried that after you know about it, you won't dare to go to Ping'an County again? Don't dare to fight bravely with Tubalu again?

"Tsuneoka-kun, be cautious!"

Yuo Pinglu solemnly reminded.

Yoshio Tsuneoka suddenly woke up.

Hurriedly bent down and bowed down, sincerely thanking.

The brigade commander was reminding him.

First, don't rush lightly. Don't fall into the trap of dirt roads.

Second, the words just said must rot in the stomach. If you say it, you will definitely get yourself in big trouble.

"Your Excellency General, please!"

"Ordered the troops to shrink the defense. Let's wait for Nara-kun. ”

Yuo Hiraku said slowly.

Yoshio Tsuneoka understood and immediately went out to give orders.

Nara-kun, that is, Kenjiro Nara, is the brigade commander of the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade.

When the two brigades of hedgehogs are gathered together, they should be fine.

No matter how big Tu Balu's appetite is, it is impossible to eat two brigades, right?

That's it!

Let's save myself first.

……

"Commander, the Japanese are starting to shrink their forces."

"It seems that the Japanese are overly cautious! We can't find a chance to attack. ”

"Then bombard him with field artillery! In short, let him not live in peace! ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand, domineering and leaking.

Shrink your forces?

Hedgehogs in a mess?

Think that's all right?

Hehe, if it was before, I really couldn't help you.

But now......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At the sound of an order, six field guns began to bombard.

The maximum firing range of such a field gun could reach eight kilometers. Although long-range shooting is not very accurate. But the deterrent effect is enormous.

Shells fell in the middle of the Japanese positions.

The loud explosion immediately alarmed both Yuo Hiraku and Yoshio Tsuneoka.

"Yaga!"

"There really is a field artillery on the Eighth Road!"

"Why ......"

Yoshio Tsuneoka scolded angrily.

Finally, he shut up stupidly. But I remembered the words of Yuo Hiraku.

There are some things that you can't ask.

There are some things that cannot be said.

Otherwise, you will get yourself into big trouble.

He Yoshio Tsuneoka had a hard time getting to the rank of Osa.

The most valuable Dazuo should lead the wing to fight. Only Dazuo, who has no background and no background, will serve as the chief of staff.

If he makes a mistake, he can easily be transferred to the reserves.

"Your Excellency General, where did the field artillery of the Dirt Eighth Road come from?" Yoshio Tsuneoka asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Yuo Hiraku shook his head, "No one knows. ”

"Then we order the artillery to counterattack?"

"Pay attention to saving shells."

"Yes!"

Yoshio Tsuneoka turned back.

Soon after, the Japanese artillery began to counterattack.

On and off.

Stop, stop, stop.

As an independent mixed brigade, there were not many artillery formations.

Two infantry guns per brigade. Ten doors in total. There are also twelve 90-mm mortars. That's all there is to it.

Now participating in the counterattack, mainly 90-mm mortars.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The shells were disemboweled intermittently.

I don't want to be able to hit any target. Just tell the dirt eight roads, we also have cannons! Don't deceive people too much!

Outcome......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Suddenly, countless shells fell.

The entire Japanese position suddenly seemed to be in flames. It was as if hundreds of shells were falling at the same time.

The explosions continued.

The flames are flaring.

But it was Li Yunlong who ordered to return fire with mortars.

You dare to fight back, don't you?

Teach you how to be a man right away!

The new regiment had only six field guns. But there are more mortars.

There are more than twenty in one battalion. The entire new regiment, the number of 81-mm mortars, is definitely more than a hundred. Maybe even close to two hundred!

With so many mortars participating in the counterattack, the momentum can be imagined.

Artillerymen have a rare opportunity to show themselves. You're welcome, of course. It came up with eight rapid shots.

Anyway, there was a mountain of shells. Can be played openly.

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Tsuneoka was stunned.

Yuo Hiraku was stunned.

All the Japanese were also stunned.

Oh, my God!

Is this the artillery fire of the Dirt Eight Road?

Sky!

How many guns are this firing?

Is it an artillery regiment?

Or a couple of artillery regiments?

How many artillery is there in the Dirt Eighth Road?

With such a salvo, is it to cover all the Japanese troops?

It's scary!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery fire on the Dirt Eight Road continued.

It can be described as indiscriminate bombing.

In just a few minutes, at least 2,500 shells fell on the Japanese positions!

It's scary!

Two thousand five hundred shells!

It's still launched by the dirt eight roads!

Incredible!

Fantastic!

Japanese casualties skyrocketed.

In this round of shelling alone, the Japanese suffered more than 400 casualties!

A Shaozo captain was blown up!

A large number of other weapons and equipment were blown up. Heavy machine guns lost at least ten units.

The Japanese artillery did not dare to return fire at all.

Finally, the shelling of the Eighth Road finally stopped. All the Japanese troops were in a state of sluggishness and numbness.

They can't take it.

There are so many artillery on the Dirt Eighth Road!

How many artillery regiments do they have?

How many shells do they have? Such indiscriminate bombardment, don't you need money for shells?

"So ......"

Yuo Hiraku said slowly.

"Build the fortifications!"

"Defend in place!"

"Let Nara-kun take the lead!"

"Didn't he keep complaining about not being at the top? We can let him. ”

Yoshio Tsuneoka immediately understood.

Yuo Hiraku nodded.

Good!

The chief of staff is finally on the road.

Since Nara-kun is so active, this great credit will be given to him.

Yo Xi ......

Nara-kun, please!
