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

Chapter 62



Taiyuan.

Japanese headquarters.

Today's combat command room seems very busy, and various staff members are frantically processing information.

Even the commander, Yoshio Shinozuka, has been squatting here for nearly ten hours, and most of them are staring at the map in front of them.

"Report!"

Just then, Hideyoshi Nanshan hurried in.

"Speak."

"General!"

Hideyoshi Nanshan looked grim, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Hu Ting completely lost contact with the headquarters. We have sent telegrams many times but have not received any response so far."

"What?!"

Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head suddenly, with a look of shock and anger in his eyes.

Nanshan Hideyoshi hesitated for a while and finally said slowly: "General! Although the fortifications of Huting are indeed strong, it is definitely not easy for ordinary enemies to break through. But I think you should be very clear about the ghost team that swept across the entire Jinzhong area before. If it is really them who took action this time, the fall of Huting is only a matter of time."

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was furious and shouted: "Those are dozens of senior officers of the empire! How can something go wrong? I don't care what method you use, you must get in touch with Huting."

"Hai!"

Although Nanshan Hideyoshi knew that it was more dangerous than good at this time, he had to nod his head.

Huh!

Just next to it.

The electronic reconnaissance team initiated contact again.

But it can be repeated many times.

The other party never responded at all.

This made everyone present look extremely ugly.

For nearly half an hour.

The headquarters had no choice but to give up temporarily.

Nanshan Hideyoshi said in a deep voice: "General! We have contacted them many times in a row, but there has been no response from the other side."

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio roared angrily.

But dozens of senior officers from the Northern Theater, many of whom were subordinates of generals of the same level as him.

If this really happened on his own territory.

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he shouted again angrily: "Contact the 4th Brigade and ask if their reinforcements have arrived? What is the situation in Huting?"

"Hai!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi took the order again.

"Report!"

But at this moment, the electronic reconnaissance personnel not far away shouted quickly.

"Speak!"

"Just now, I received a telegram from the 4th Brigade. Brigade Commander Mori Shige Nagahide said, said, the team they sent to support Hu Ting was ambushed by the enemy. Except for a few dozen people who escaped alive, the remaining nearly 1,500 elite imperial soldiers have been killed! And, and - according to the feedback from intelligence personnel, Hu Ting has fallen, and the battlefield observation group has also been killed!"

"What?"

Shinozuka Yoshio trembled all over.

Nanshan Hideyoshi's face also turned pale in an instant. He hurriedly asked: "Is the news reliable?"

"This is the original text of the telegram."

"Give it to me!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi quickly took it.

Just a moment.

His face became extremely ugly again. After pausing for about two seconds, he said with difficulty: "General! The news is indeed true. The Fourth Brigade sent the elite of its Black Stone Regiment to rush to Huting. A total of nearly 1,700 elite imperial soldiers set out, but they were ambushed by the enemy halfway. The enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and the rescue team was unable to resist the enemy's attack because of the lack of many artillery. In this battle, except for a few people who returned alive, the losses were extremely heavy!"

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's face turned pale in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said: "How is this possible? That's nearly 1,700 elite imperial soldiers! Even if they are missing some heavy weapons, even if they encounter a division of the enemy, they can still deal with it for a long time. How could they be almost wiped out in just two hours?"

"They were attacked by the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

"Jinsui Army?"

"That's right!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi said in a deep voice: "According to the survivors, the other side has nearly twenty large and small artillery pieces, in addition to conventional mortars, there are even several howitzers. They were ambushed on the bend of the road. Under the enemy's powerful firepower output, the warriors of the empire could not resist even if they wanted to, which eventually led to such a tragedy."

"Several howitzers?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he quickly questioned: "The Shanxi Suiyuan Army has been crushed by us and their arsenals are in our hands. How can they still have several howitzers now? And they can also form an output of nearly twenty artillery pieces. How is this possible?"

This is indeed true.

Although the Shanxi Suiyuan Army is also a big family, it was a few years ago..

Now the entire Jinsui Army can certainly get hundreds of artillery pieces, and it is not impossible to get a few howitzers.

It's just that at such a time and such a node, it appeared in its own occupied area.

This is incredible.

"General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the previous battle in Wanjialing?"

"Are you talking about the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"

"That's right!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi nodded and said seriously: "The elite of the Wanjialing Empire was also ambushed by the enemy, and the opponent's firepower output was also extremely fierce, which was rarely seen in the previous Jin Province. Today's tactics are surprisingly similar to the previous ones, and the firepower of both sides is so fierce, which can't help but make people think about it."

"That's right!"

Shinozuka Yoshio thought about it, and finally said in a deep voice: "Wanjialing and Huting are east and west, and the two places are only about 180 miles apart. If it is really the 358th Regiment, it is indeed Very likely. However, although the strength of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army is indeed not to be underestimated, Sakata-kun had fought with it before. If the opponent really had such firepower output, the previous results would not have been so disastrous. "

"General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi always insisted on his own ideas and said slowly: "Sakata-kun did chase the 358th Regiment, but that was all in the past. I heard that the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei, is the confidant and beloved general of the old commander of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army Headquarters and is deeply trusted by him. Since he suffered such a disastrous defeat before, he will definitely get equipment replenishment. Perhaps this is the promotion he just got. "

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio obviously had to accept such an argument.

Nanshan Hideyoshi frowned and said again: "General! I always felt that the incident at Huting stronghold was a bit strange before. Now I think maybe Chu Yunfei did it on purpose."

"Humph!"

How could Shinozuka Yoshio, as the commander of Jin Province, not come back to his senses? He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "That's right! If the team that encircled and suppressed my Huting stronghold this time was really the same team as before, it would be a piece of cake for them to take down Huting with their strength, but they just surrounded it without attacking. It's clear that they want to surround the stronghold and attack the reinforcements! Humph, they can let my land observation group achieve such a great victory and delay to eat it, but dare to set up an ambush and attack halfway. This confidence, cunning and courage should not be underestimated! This commander is really terrible!"
