Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

Chapter 170



Nine o'clock in the morning.

The battle has lasted for more than three hours.

Although the speed of the Japanese advance is not particularly fast, and it is not easy to transport a large amount of baggage and armor, they still rely on their strong combat capabilities to push forward.

As the terrain gradually opens up, the speed is increasing again.

"Report!"

At this time, a staff officer came quickly and reported: "Just received news that the second infantry battalion of our brigade has captured the enemy's latest sniper point and is about to enter the middle section with a relatively open terrain."

"Yoshi!"

Sato Yuzaburo's expression instantly cheered up when he heard this, and said: "Finally passed this damn distance!"

Although it was only about ten miles just now, they had a very difficult journey.

Continuous blocking.

Layered defense.

Although this tactic is very conventional, it is very effective in the relatively narrow terrain before.

At least for them, who had many armored troops, it was like being tied up, and they had to grit their teeth and pull out the nails on the road one by one.

In the absence of strong support from heavy weapons.

If it were an ordinary unit, it would be difficult to bite off, but fortunately they were not ordinary armed.

But they also paid a heavy price.

In just ten miles.

The entire brigade suffered more than 400 casualties.

This was unprecedented in the past.

"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander!"

At this time, Staff Officer Kameda said with a serious expression: "The combat effectiveness of Qingfeng Village is much stronger than we thought. We have suffered so many casualties on this road alone. I am afraid there will be more difficult battles in the future."

"Kameda-kun, you worry too much!"

Sato Yuzaburo waved his hand and said jokingly: "I admit that their combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than I expected, but so what? Our armored forces are completely unable to take action on this road, which gave the other side an opportunity to take advantage of it. The terrain in the middle section will be much wider. When our brigade is completely deployed, they will never be our opponents! When we reach the latter section, I will request fire support from the air force, and we will be able to wipe out Qingfeng Village in one fell swoop!"

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Okay!"

Sato Yuzaburo waved his hand and said solemnly: "Now pass my order, the entire brigade will immediately enter the middle section!"

"Hai!"

Staff Officer Kameda nodded.

He suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, General Shinozuka has called several times. Should we report the battle report here to him first?"

"Yes."

Sato Yuzaburo did not refuse.

Soon.

On the premise of occupying the pass.

The main force of the Japanese army moved towards the middle section, and various transport trucks and armored units followed.

The whole team looked really fierce.

At the same time.

The situation here was also spread to the surrounding forces at the first time.

"The Japanese are really strong!"

Many leaders at the Eighth Route Army headquarters looked solemn.

They had been paying attention to the situation here since before the battle broke out. Although they knew that the Japanese were coming fiercely, they did not expect that the other side could break through quickly and continuously.

"It's going to be difficult next time!"

The chief of staff sighed as he looked at the map and said, "The ten miles of land at the outermost edge of Qingfeng Village is a narrow and long area, which is very suitable for blocking. Although the Seventh Brigade is powerful, most of its weapons cannot be deployed. Logically, Lu Zhixian should be able to hold off the enemy for more time here, but now that he has been broken through so quickly, the situation will definitely be more dangerous later!"

"That's right!"

Several military staff officers nearby also agreed with him.

"It's a bit strange!"

However, the commander frowned at this time and said, "The enemy's strength is indeed strong, but we are still clear about Lu Zhixian's combat effectiveness. Since he occupies such a favorable terrain, it shouldn't be broken through so quickly! This is not a sign of a desperate defense!"

"Did he give up voluntarily?"

"It's very likely!"

The commander nodded.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and said, "After hearing what you said, I think it is still possible. If the decisive battle is held on the periphery, it will not be conducive to the performance of their anti-Japanese regiment. The middle section is also suitable for the Japanese armored forces. If we lure the enemy deep into the area and stretch the battle line, and finally defend the ten miles at the end, there may be some chance to hold on."

"I guess this is the plan!"

The commander was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time and quickly made his own guess, but he frowned and said, "If it were an ordinary army, this method would certainly be good, but this is the Japanese's powerful armored field force, and its firepower output is definitely unprecedented.And in such a big battle, the Japanese air force will definitely be dispatched. At that time, their artillery will be easily bombed, and I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it in the end! "

"Now we can only hope that the Anti-Japanese Regiment can hold it off!"

The Chief of Staff couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

...

Taiyuan.

Japanese Headquarters.

"Yoshi!"

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio naturally received this call back.

He said excitedly: "Sato-kun's 7th Brigade is really extraordinary. It has just been a short time since it directly flattened the outer perimeter of Qingfeng Village. The next is the middle section with open terrain. As long as the opponent is not stupid, they will not fight a decisive battle here. It seems that we will receive good news soon! "

Yes.

Shinozuka Yoshio was really excited.

Since the damn Qingfengzhai armed forces rose up, the troops stationed in Shanxi led by him have suffered continuous heavy losses.

This is a great shame for him!

Now that he heard that the bandits in Qingfengzhai were finally completely surrounded, he was naturally surprised and happy.

"General, you are right!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi also nodded with a happy face and said with a smile: "The enemy is much stupider than we thought. The previous victory was probably just the advantage of sneak attack. Now they are trapped in Qingfengzhai. Even with the cooperation of my air force, the other party can't hold the last ten miles. Victory is about to be at hand!"

"How is the air force ready?"

"Report to the general!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi immediately said seriously: "A total of 16 bombers of the Hata Air Brigade are on standby at Akiyama Airport and can take off at any time to perform missions!"

"Yoshi! "

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly.

Qingfeng Village's firepower is definitely extremely strong. Judging from the previous battles, they still have a lot of powerful howitzers.

It is certainly the most suitable existence to deal with these fighters, and this is also one of his most powerful means.

Thinking of this, he said again: "Akiyama Airport is still some distance away from Qingfeng Village. If you go back and forth, you may miss the best opportunity. As Sato-kun judged, the enemy will not be stupid enough to fight a decisive battle in the middle section, so wait until the 7th Brigade launches the final assault, and then the air force will provide strong support. "

"Hay!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded immediately.
