196, just like that, Tubalu still dares to attack!
"Nani? ”
"All the jade shattered by the Uchida squadron?"
"Yaga!"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Kyoichiro Niijima is simply going crazy.
Isn't it the guerrillas of the Dirt Eighth Road? Can you actually wipe out a squadron of the Japanese army?
How can it be?
It must be a mistake on the part of the front-line troops!
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a dull cannon fire was heard.
Hurried to the window. Hold up your binoculars and take a look. His face changed drastically.
I saw a turret collapsed in the distance.
The originally sturdy turret was directly shattered.
My heart sank!
Damn it!
There is actually a direct-fire cannon on the dirt eight roads!
It's dangerous!
Destroying the turret is still secondary.
The point is that the direct fire gun has a very long range. Directly threaten the train station!
Threaten Saburo Saito!
Threaten Major General Miyano!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Sure enough, there were shells coming at the train station.
Although it did not cause any damage, it was enough to pose a mortal threat to Saburo Saito and Major General Miyano.
In fact, at this moment, the two Japanese major generals were also stunned.
None of them expected that they would be attacked at the Shuiquan Railway Station!
(Author's note: From now on, the yang spring will be changed to a water spring.) Because the real place name is easy to be 404. Shouyang was changed to Shouyin. )
It's under attack!
Not to be attacked!
Dirt Eight Road is attacking!
Field artillery has been used!
"Saito-kun......"
"Miyano-kun, it's all my fault......"
"No!"
Major General Miyano shook his head.
Now is not the time to blame.
It is useless to blame.
In fact, he didn't want to blame anyone.
The fact that the offensive of the Tubalu was so fierce was not simply the fault of the First Army.
The North China Front is also responsible.
The Tuba Road in Jin Province is so arrogant that they dare to storm the Shuiquan Railway Station!
You must know that Shuiquan Railway Station is not Fanzhuang Station. It is a very important railway node. The Japanese army has been stationed here for a long time. There are also a large number of turrets around to protect it.
That's it, Tubalu still dares to attack!
"Miyano-kun......"
"It's okay!"
Major General Miyano is still relatively calm.
He knew that there were heavy troops stationed at the Shuiquan Railway Station. At least two brigades of troops.
These two brigades are not counted as railway garrisons. If you add the railway garrison, it is estimated that there are about two squadrons. In other words, the total number of troops will not be less than 2,000 men.
With such a large number of troops, coupled with numerous strong turrets, it should be able to hold back for a while.
I can't say three days. One day is definitely fine.
One day is enough. Reinforcements will be there soon.
Here is the railway line.
The Japanese army was the best at transporting troops using railway lines.
Whether it is Jingcheng Pass and Shimen in the east, or Shouyin and Taiyuan in the west, they can quickly send troops to reinforce.
So......
Calm!
The Eighth Route Army couldn't kill the inside of the train station.
"Miyano-kun, shall we enter the fortifications?"
"Good. I happened to see for myself the offensive of the Tsuchihachi Road. It's better to report back to the commander. ”
"Please!"
"Please!"
Two men entered the fortifications.
In fact, it is a simple tunnel headquarters. It was to defend against air raids by the Chinese army.
However, Chinese military planes have never been here. So, the tunnel headquarters or something has never been activated. I didn't expect it to be enabled today.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Cannonballs kept coming.
Saburo Saito raised his binoculars and observed the offensive of Dohachiro.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, the main task of Tuba Road is to demolish the turrets on the periphery. All turrets must be cleared before the attack can continue.
Those turrets are actually relatively strong. Some of them are reinforced concrete. Considered a semi-permanent fortification.
If there were no field artillery on the Tuba Road, there would be no way at all.
Even infantry artillery could not destroy these fortified turrets. But if there is a field artillery......
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
With the dense sound of artillery, another turret was blown down.
Almost all of the Japanese troops inside were buried in the rubble. I haven't seen anyone crawl out for a long time. It is estimated that all the jade is broken.
The field of vision continues to stretch into the distance. Trying to find traces of the Eighth Route Army.
It's a pity that nothing can be seen.
It is estimated that the number of dirt roads is not very large. There is only one direction of their attack. That's the north side.
All the shells came from the north. It is estimated that there were 4-6 field guns.
"Saito-kun, how's the situation in the south?"
"There's no movement."
"Is Tubalu trying to make a sound?"
"Can't tell."
"Is it the Nanyue Military Region of Tuba Road?"
"Can't tell."
Saburo Saito felt ashamed.
He couldn't answer all the questions. Because it's not clear what the situation is.
According to his professional estimates, the number of troops dispatched by Tubalu should be more than three regiments. Or even five regiments, six regiments. Or more. Otherwise, it is impossible to storm the railway station.
A regiment on Tuba Road is generally about 1,200 people. In rare cases, it may reach 1,500 people.
Even if it is five regiments, that is, about seven thousand people. Facing more than 2,000 Japanese troops. There is no superiority in troops. Because the Japanese army was in a defensive posture.
With the help of fortifications, 2,000 Japanese troops could completely defeat more than 10,000 people.
Even if all the turrets on the periphery were destroyed, and there were still a large number of fortifications around the railway station, it would be impossible to give Tubalu a chance.
The deeper you go, the stronger the counterattack you will encounter.
In fact, after a brief moment of surprise, the captain of the garrison, Kyoichiro Niishima, has gradually calmed down.
He judged it. There are not many troops in the Dirt Eighth Road.
According to the judgment of the front-line troops, the strength of the Tubalu will not exceed a thousand people.
Because it is known that so far, the infantry of the Tsuchihachi Road has not yet attacked. As long as the artillery is methodically destroying the turret.
It can be seen that the dirt eight roads are prepared.
It is possible that it is a forward force.
The purpose was to clean the perimeter of the Shuiquan Railway Station. When the battle on the periphery is over, the large forces of the Tubalu may arrive.
So......
All Kyoichiro Niijima had to do was report it immediately.
"Request urgent tactical guidance!"
"Request urgent tactical guidance!"
The garrison immediately sent a telegram.
The telegram went all the way to Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army.
Because the chief of staff, Saburo Saito, was not there, and all military affairs were handled by Yoshio Shinozuka himself.
"Nani?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was taken aback.
Tubalu attacked Shuiquan Railway Station, is this still possible?
The situation is serious.
He personally sent Saburo Saito there to meet Major General Miyano.
If it is won by Tubalu, the consequences are unimaginable.
Although, the Shuiquan railway station is a force with two brigades. Yoshio Shinozuka also feels insecure.
The problem is that there are no strong reinforcements in the vicinity.
Taiyuan also did not have mobile troops.
There is only Shouyin, and there is also the strength of a wing.
Garrisoned in Shouyin was the 6th Independent Mixed Brigade. is newly established. The commander was Major General Haruyoshi Hyakutake.
Immediately sent a telegram to Baiwu Qingji, and immediately sent a wing of troops, 100,000 to reinforce the Shuiquan Railway Station.
"Nani?"
"A wing?"
Baiwu Qingji received the report and was stunned for a moment.
The Shouyin City he is stationed in, the entire defense force is a wing!
Will all forces be dispatched to rescue the Shuiquan Railway Station?
Don't want Shouyin City anymore?
However, he did not dare to disobey.
After all, the situation at the Shuiquan railway station is critical.
Although all are major generals. But Miyano has a big background. There are also royal titles. If something happens to him, the base camp will definitely be held responsible.
Don't dare to slack off. Immediately set off with a wing to the rescue.
As for Shouyin City......
Just send a few hundred people from a nearby stronghold back to the defense.
Since the earth eight road is aimed at the Shuiquan Railway Station. There should be no more troops left to attack elsewhere.
Besides, go and come back quickly. Shouyin City may not be fine.
As a result, Shouyin was temporarily empty.
Today's end is over. See you tomorrow
