Bright sword!I am the head of Shanxi Northwest Wolf Warriors

Chapter 179 Covering Bombing
Two days passed in the blink of an eye!

All Japanese troops assembled.

During the past two days, the Japanese army’s camp was strictly guarded against the Eighth Route Army. The strategic deep trenches were moved five miles away, and Wuyi County was monitored from all aspects. The Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County would never have any chance of sneak attack.

Also during these two days, the Eighth Route Army never launched any attack on the Japanese camp, and stayed in Wuyi County for repairs.

Being able to successfully attack a Japanese camp once was a complete surprise attack. If it wants to do this again, the Eighth Route Army will definitely pay a very heavy price. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army can rely on defense to destroy the Japanese army at a minimum cost. Naturally, he will not take the initiative to attack again.

Japanese forward combat command!
This time the Japanese army dispatched a total of 16 troops to the front, but the supreme commander of most of the troops was only the captain. At the same time, the Japanese army also sent two full-strength regiments, the captains of which were Fenghua Yamaguchi and Koto Murakami.

There are two more senior commanders in the headquarters again, and these two are naturally.Yamaguchi Muraka, Murakami Koto.

Takeshita Mori said with a serious face: "Everyone! After our continuous battles with the Huben Regiment, everyone present should know the strength of the Humen Regiment, so we must be fully focused when facing the Humen Regiment. Can have any idea of ​​underestimating the Wuyi County Huben Group.

Now we are fighting a tough battle, while the Huben Regiment is fighting a defensive battle. This situation is very unfavorable to us. Next, everyone can speak freely about how to attack Wuyi County. The county launched the most violent attack. "

"Your Excellency, are you making a fuss over a molehill? The main reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to fight our Japanese army continuously in Shanxi is that the Eighth Route Army is too slippery. It is basically a shot to change a place. If the army and we are thin The army is facing the enemy head-on, even if they have three or four times the strength of ours, we can easily defeat them.

You have boasted that the fighting power of the Huben regiment is so strong, isn't it a little too exaggerated?You must know that the ratio of our army's strength to that of the Eighth Route Army is close to 4:1 this time. We also have the cover of the air force, and we can also use the armored force to cooperate with the infantry and tanks. Isn't it easy to win a small Wuyi County? ? . "

The person who spoke was Koto Murakami. He didn’t know how many Eighth Route Army he had wiped out in this area of ​​northern Shanxi. He was even called the natural enemy of the Eighth Route Army within the Japanese army, so he didn’t pay attention to the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County at all. More than 2 More than 1 elite troops were buried by Takeshita Bongichi. He felt that this was entirely caused by Takeshita Bongichi's stupidity. Facing such a superior, he didn't take him too seriously at all.

Ordinary people would definitely not dare to speak like this to their superiors. After all, the Japanese army is notoriously strict in hierarchy, but he is Neiji Okamura's nephew, and he is about to be promoted to major general brigade commander. Fear of Takeshita Bongichi.

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Since Mr. Murakami looks down on the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County so much.

I don't know what Mr. Murakami has to say about attacking Wuyi County?Mr. Murakami said it for everyone to listen to, so that everyone can see if it is feasible. "

Murakami Koto said: "What insight is needed? Just let the armored troops push across, and cooperate with our invincible imperial warriors to make two charges. Wouldn't it be easy to take Wuyi County?"

Takeshita Fengichi said seriously: "Mr. Murakami! Please don't underestimate the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. The Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County is not the Eighth Route Army you have seen before. The Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County has advanced equipment, artillery, semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns. There are so many that they can even crush us in terms of firepower.

The opponent's commander is a disgrace to our empire and the pride of the Eighth Route Army Xin Zhao, this man is very terrifying in terms of tactics, strategy, command and deployment, and offensive and defensive transitions. If you really want to fight according to what you said, this is completely against the warriors of the empire. Life is a joke. "

Murakami Koto dismissed it and said: "Even if they have powerful firepower? Your Excellency General is a little fearful of the enemy. How can the warriors of our empire be compared with the Eighth Route Army.

If your Excellency is afraid, I can lead my troops to take the lead in attacking, absolutely break through the defense line of the Wuyi County Conservative Army in the shortest time, and pave the way for the follow-up troops. "

"Mr. Murakami! It seems that you look down on our combat experience with the Eighth Route Army, and also think that our previous battles are a disgrace to the empire."

Takeshita Koichi said calmly: "Since Mr. Murakami is so confident, I will give Mr. Murakami the task of attacking the vanguard of Wuyi County, and at the same time give Mr. Murakami the command of the First Armored Brigade of the Armored Wing. We don't need Mr. Murakami either. The defense line of Wuyi County was successfully taken down, as long as Murakami-kun can find out the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County, I will credit Mr. Murakami with a great contribution, and then I will personally report to General Okamura to ask for credit for the Takekami Army."

"Okay! I've accepted this combat order. Your Excellency, don't underestimate our Murakami Regiment. If you can't break through the defense of Wuyi County's city wall, I'm willing to accept the general's military law."

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Murakami-kun, you must remember that your mission is to find out the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County, not to launch a general attack on the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. Regardless of whether this mission succeeds or fails, I will not blame Murakami-kun.

Go down and get ready. Tomorrow morning you will take your troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. Today you can study the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County carefully, and at the same time arrange the attack strategy for tomorrow. "

"Your Excellency, General! It's only twelve o'clock in the noon today. It is absolutely possible to launch a surprise attack on Wuyi County today. This can also catch the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County by surprise."

Murakami Koto said with a smile: "My troops are already hungry and thirsty, and they need a hearty battle."

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Since your troops are already hungry and thirsty, then I agree with your request for today's battle. Go down and deploy your troops."

Murakami Koto bid farewell to everyone, and went directly to assign combat missions.

After Murakami Koto left, Watanabe Naoxiong said: "Your Excellency, Mr. Murakami doesn't understand the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County after all. Would it be inappropriate for him to lead troops to attack Wuyi County rashly? I think we should find someone who is similar to Wuyi County The commander of the Eighth Route Army who has fought many times will lead the battle, so as to test the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County with the smallest sacrifice, and at the same time lay a solid foundation for the next complete victory of Wuyi County."

Takeshita Fuichi: "Mr. Murakami is the nephew of General Okamura. He completely looked down on our previous battles and thought that the Eighth Route Army was as fragile as before. I'm afraid many of the brigade leaders who came this time thought so.

That being the case, let's let them fight a battle first. First, we can let them know how powerful the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County is, let them restrain their proud character, and second, we can also test out Wuyi County at a certain sacrifice price. The firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army.This is a way to get the best of both worlds, don't you guys think this is a way to get the best of both worlds? "

Hirata Saburo hastily echoed: "This is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds. I completely agree with the general's approach."

Hirata Saburo saw Takeshita's careful thinking, this battle let Murakami Koto fight, once Murakami Koto suffered a serious defeat, it meant that their previous failures were normal events.

When this battle is over, if Okamura Neji wants to punish them with this big battle, he must be punished together with Murakami Koto. Okamura Neji will definitely consider their punishment carefully.

It can be said that Takeshita's doing this can serve multiple purposes. Most of the people present guessed Takeshita's mind, and most of them agreed with Takeshita's approach.

Naoyu Watanabe didn't see Takeshita's thoughts, and continued to speak bluntly: "Your Excellency, General! I still don't agree with Murakami Koto launching a tentative attack.

Given the village lord's prejudice against the Wuyi County Eighth Route Army, it is very likely that he will not use a tentative attack and directly launch a group charge against the Wuyi County Eighth Route Army. This will definitely cause unnecessary sacrifices for our imperial warriors. "

"We have discussed and passed this combat mission, and Mr. Murakami is also very willing to carry out this mission. Do you think your own objection is useful?"

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Watanabe-kun! Please clarify your position."

Naoyu Watanabe originally wanted to continue to speak up, but his good friend Saburo Hirata pulled the corner of his military uniform to signal him not to continue talking, Naoto Watanabe finally shut up helplessly.

Murakami Koto now has three infantry brigades, an artillery squadron, and an armored brigade.

The open terrain in the north of Wuyi County can fully accommodate an infantry brigade plus an armored brigade to launch a group charge.

Murakami Koto didn't think much about other things at all. For the first time to attack the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County, he directly mobilized an infantry brigade and an armored brigade to charge the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County in a coordinated manner with infantry and tanks. At the same time, he let the artillery squadron follow the infantry brigade Behind him, wait until a suitable location to build an artillery position, and carry out a covering bombing of the northern city wall of Wuyi County, in coordination with the attack of infantry and tank troops.

One p.m!
The troops under Murakami Koto launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County on time. Sixteen tanks were arranged in an irregular arrangement and drove towards the city wall of Wuyi County. Behind the tanks was an infantry squad, and a Japanese army was 100 meters behind the tanks. The artillery squadron advanced sequentially under the cover of two infantry squadrons.

On the city wall of Wuyi County.

The first battalion commander and the fifth battalion commander of the Huben Regiment saw this scene through the binoculars, and their faces were filled with bewilderment. Isn't this way of moving forward just like giving them meat?
With an artillery squadron, an infantry brigade and an armored brigade, even if the Japanese army had the strength of one and a half divisions, they wouldn't be able to send out such a big mouthful of fat directly in the first tentative attack.

But the two of them are ignorant, and they will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

All the Japanese troops entered the range of the howitzers of the Eighth Route Army, and 36 heavy howitzers fired rapidly in turn, firing 10 shells directly in just three to ten minutes.

On a relatively flat 2400 square kilometers of land, 1400 rounds of heavy howitzer shells were bombed. The Japanese artillery squadron and armored brigade could not find a good gun or a good tank. There were more than 50 devils, but in the end there were only more than [-] devils. Fortunately, he withdrew back.

The more than 50 devils who fled back were all wounded, none of them were whole, but the shells did not hurt their legs, so they fled back.

Eight kilometers away!
Murakami Koto saw through the military binoculars that one of his artillery squadrons, an infantry brigade, and an armored brigade were almost wiped out.

Listening to the sound of the guns, he heard that there were more than 30 heavy howitzers firing rapidly without paying attention to the consumption of ammunition, which killed his vanguard attacking troops.

Murakami Koto is really hard to imagine, why the three guns and eight guns who were impoverished in the past suddenly changed the shotgun at this time?After just one battle, he was directly beaten by the Eighth Route Army.

Murakami Koto did not continue to send troops to attack the Eighth Route Army. He had already clearly understood his previous attack plan. In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, it was probably a joke, even for Takeshita Bongichi.

Now Murakami Koto understands, why did Takeshita Bongichi lose so many battles in front of the Eighth Route Army?Facing such powerful firepower, they are still on the offensive side, and it would be a ghost if they don't lose the battle.

At the same time, I thought of Takeshita Fengyi's previous record. He fought from Muma River to Wuyi County.

certainly!Murakami Koto didn't know that Takeshita Bongichi had been lying about his achievements, and his non-commissioned officers also lied about his achievements. If he knew about this, he would despise Takeshita even more.

It is not an unforgivable thing for the two sides to lose due to the disparity in strength, but it is definitely a taboo in the army to lie about the battle results again and again and treat the lives of the soldiers of the empire as a trifle.

Murakami Koto calmed down his mood, and began to think about how to test out the firepower arrangement of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County with the least cost.

His main task this time is to find out the firepower configuration of the Wuyi County Eighth Route Army. It is not a shameful thing that he cannot take down the Wuyi County Eighth Route Army. He might become the laughing stock in this war.

I am afraid that his future future is completely over. Even if his uncle is Neiji Okamura, it is impossible for him to be quickly promoted from the commander of the regiment to the commander of the brigade.
