Chapter 181

Murakami Koto stood at the apex of the anti-slope, watching with binoculars the entire army of his siege squadron was wiped out, his heart was very heavy.

Murakami Koto looked at the three captains beside him and said: "After our two rounds of tentative attacks, we now understand that the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County has strong firepower, and it even crushes us in terms of firepower and armament.

However, the Eighth Route Army put all the heavy artillery in the city, which is their fatal weakness. Their shooting angles are not enough. As long as our troops come within three kilometers of the city wall, the Eighth Route Army's heavy howitzers will not pose any threat to us, but the Eighth Route Army The light and heavy machine guns on the city walls and the various firepower points can be said to be very terrifying. Now you can express your opinions, what should we do next? "

The captain of the 60.00st Infantry Brigade said: "Commander, I think our troops should first move to three miles outside Wuyi County, build fortifications outside Wuyi County, and then request the dispatch of mortar projectiles from the higher authorities. Move the mortar grenades over, use the mortar grenades to suppress the enemy's heavy firepower, and then use the advantage of troops to attack the fortifications of the city wall in Wuyi County. I think this method has a [-]% possibility of rushing into Wuyi County. As long as our troops successfully take down the fortifications of the city wall in Wuyi County and pave the way for our follow-up troops, then the matter of our previous defeat can also be uncovered."

The captain of the second infantry brigade said: "I also agree with the words of the captain of the first brigade. Our Murakami regiment has never suffered such humiliation since its establishment. We must recover the face we lost."

The Commander of the Third Infantry Brigade ordered He and said, "I agree too!"

The main reason for the three captains of the brigade to forcibly send troops was because they had lost the previous battle. They all knew that Koto Murakami had a strong relationship, and the loss must not be counted on Koto Murakami. By then, the three captains of the brigade would definitely become the backs. Guo Xia, only a big victory can cover the defeat of previous battles.

"Your ideas are similar to mine. I also think that the face lost by our Murakami regiment needs to be recovered by our own regiment. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is indeed very powerful. At the same time, they also have a lot of artillery and countless ammunition, but the Eighth Route Army Tiger Ben The regiments are all newly recruited recruits, as long as our troops successfully enter the city, the Eighth Route Army's Huben regiment will be nothing to worry about."

Murakami Koto said: "I will ask my superiors to remove the mortars and grenades. I will handle this matter personally. We must show the prestige of our Murakami Regiment in the next battle. At that time, I will personally go to the third place outside the city of Wuyi County." Supervise the battle at the kilometer distance, and you will follow me to supervise the battle. When necessary, you have to rush up with your troops, and you must not let the morale of our troops dissipate."

The three captains were unwilling to lead the troops to charge, but the matter had reached such a point that Murakami Koto personally went to the front to supervise the battle, so they had no reason to refuse. If they dared to disobey Murakami Koto's order, Murakami Koto I'm afraid I won't be polite to them.

The three captains said in unison: "Hi!"

After confirming the combat policy, Murakami Koto immediately went to the Devils Combat Headquarters.

Murakami Koto saw Takeshita Bongichi, at this time he didn't dare to continue to be arrogant, he buried his head very low.

After listening to Murakami Koto's plan.

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Your plan is indeed feasible to a certain extent, but it will also take a lot of risks. You must know that the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy howitzers, which means that the Eighth Route Army will definitely have a lot of mortar launchers. The mortar grenade launchers of the Eighth Route Army confronted us, and we are not necessarily the opponents of the Eighth Route Army.”

"Your Excellency, General! Then do you have any good solutions? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has a large number of mortars and grenades in the city? Are we not going to attack Wuyi County? The order given to us by our superiors is to completely recover Wuyi County. We all have to be punished, so the necessary attempts should be made."

Murakami Koto said: "The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is so powerful, you can still fight here from the Muma River? The biggest reason is probably that the fighting quality of the Huben Regiment is extremely low. Once we break through the defense line, we will choose to retreat immediately. I think our army only needs one chance, a chance to rush into Wuyi County, and the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County will become lambs waiting to be slaughtered, or even abandon the city directly.”

Takeshita Fengyi said: "Mr. Murakami, I hope you don't underestimate the Eighth Route Army. No matter how good the Eighth Route Army's combat quality is, they are a group of people who dare to fight and kill. Don't be so naive as to think that our troops can get into Wuyi County and get this. The final victory of a war. We must think about defeat before we win.”

Murakami Koto said: "Your Excellency, General! I understand what you said. After the last defeat, I have already understood the strength of the Eighth Route Army. I will never act recklessly again in the next battle.

I have already told Your Excellency the general about my strategy of battle. I wonder if Your Excellency the General agrees with my strategy of battle?No matter what, please speak frankly, Your Excellency the General. "

Takeshita Fengyi said: "You are so active in seeking war and want to avenge your shame. I will definitely help you fulfill this wish. I can give you both mortars and grenade launchers. At the same time, I will also give you the support of an artillery brigade. Plus the support of two infantry battalions."

"Your Excellency, General! Are you sure you want to support me with an artillery brigade and two infantry brigades?"

Takeshita Fengyi said: "This is natural! Do you think that you can really attack Wuyi County with the remaining soldiers and a certain number of mortar grenade launchers? Without the cooperation of large-caliber artillery, there is no charge of heavy troops who are not afraid of sacrifice. , wanting to win the North City Gate of Wuyi County, this is completely a dream.

During the day, as long as our large-caliber artillery dares to advance forward, it will definitely become the target of the enemy's heavy artillery, but we only need to advance the large-caliber artillery at night, and the enemy will not be able to lock on to our artillery, and we not only have to push the large-caliber artillery at night Below the city of Wuyi County, we will launch an assault on Wuyi County at night. "

In the past, only the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army and the Sichuan Army with backward equipment would brave the night to attack. The soldiers of the Japanese Empire have always confronted the enemy in an upright manner, and almost never used night combat methods.

Now that they are fighting the Eighth Route Army, they actually need to fight at night, which shows that they and the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Murakami Koto said: "Your Excellency, don't worry! As long as you give me an artillery brigade, plus the coordination of two infantry brigades, I will definitely take down the north gate of Wuyi County at all costs tonight, and I will definitely not embarrass your Excellency the General."

Murakami Koto did not expect Takeshita to give him so much assistance. He originally only wanted some mortars and grenade launchers to charge Wuyi County again, and then have a life-and-death contest with the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County.

Takeshita Fengyi said: "I can give you all the equipment and personnel, and I can let you command the battle, but you are not allowed to come to the front line to command this battle in person. You can send the three captains to the front line. They are completely Being able to command the battle on your behalf, as the commander of a wing is also the backbone of a wing, you absolutely cannot have any problems."

Takeshita Fengichi didn't want Murakami Koto to die in the battle he commanded. If Murakami Koto died in the battle he commanded, coupled with his command situation in this battle, Okamura Ningji might be able to kill him in minutes. Send yourself to a military court.

No matter what, Murakami Koto will never have any problems. This is Takeshita's only bargaining chip to keep himself, and he will definitely not easily use this chip to gamble.

Murakami Koto said: "Your Excellency, General! My entire regiment is fighting at the forefront. I must stay in the same place as my regiment. Only in this way can the morale of the regiment be boosted and the imperial soldiers of the regiment be more courageous." Kill the enemy, and strive to completely take down the northern city wall of Wuyi County in one go."

The entire regiment was desperately at the front, but the regiment leader himself was hiding behind. Murakami Koto really couldn't do such a thing. If he really did such a thing, he might become a senior officer of the Japanese army in Shanxi in the future The disgrace among them, so no matter what the reason, he must go to the front line in person.

Besides, he will not go to charge in person, he will only observe the battle three kilometers away from Wuyi County, so his safety can still be guaranteed. Of course, there will be certain dangers in this way, but such dangers are not very big.

Takeshita Fengyi: "I said it! You are not allowed to come to the front line to command the battle in person, and let you command the battle at the eight-kilometer anti-slope in Wuyi County. Do you still want to disobey my orders?"

It is absolutely impossible for Takeshita Fengichi to let Murakami Koto take risks. To let Murakami Koto take risks is to make fun of his own life. How could Takeshita Fengichi allow such a thing to happen?

Takeshita Hoichi had already said that this was an order, and Murakami Koto naturally did not dare to continue to disobey the order of the superior. After all, he had just lost a big battle just now. up.

Murakami Koto said: "I obey the orders of Your Excellency the General! I promise that I will not go to the front line and only fight, but will only command the battle at the current forward headquarters."

"Well! It's good if you can figure it out." Takeshita Feng said: "As for mortars and projectiles. I will collect 200 mortars for you, plus 100 projectiles, and at the same time, I will collect them for you. 6000 mortar shells, 3000 grenadier shells, I hope you will not let me down in this battle."

Murakami Koto gave Takeshita a military salute, and said respectfully: "Thank you, General, for your great support! I will definitely not disappoint you, General, in this battle. Our Murakami Regiment fought more than once in the siege battle, as long as we avoid The superior firepower of the opponent, I believe we will be able to defeat the opponent smoothly."

With the support of Takeshita Fengichi, Murakami Koto did not stay at the headquarters, he hurried back to his forward headquarters in a hurry.

Without any concealment, Murakami Koto told the three captains under him the number of mortars and grenades he was going to come, and at the same time told the three captains the reason why he could not go to the forefront to command the battle.

The three captains were not stupid, and they naturally knew why Takeshita Hōichi did this, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

He could only quietly wait for Murakami Koto to arrange tasks. Murakami Koto did not talk nonsense with them, and quickly arranged all the tasks.

eight pm!

The devil's fortifications three kilometers away from Wuyi County have been dug, and the Murakami Regiment has entered the fortifications.

Twelve o'clock at night!
It was extremely dark, and the devils from the two brigades quietly went outside Wuyi County, bringing a large number of mortars and grenade launchers.

The devil's artillery brigade transported the cannons to the front in batches. At the same time, the devil's artillery brigade was very separated, and all the large-caliber artillery were not gathered together.

Three in the morning!

This is Murakami Koto's attack time.

An infantry brigade of the Japanese army quietly approached Wuyi County, and at the same time behind them were artillerymen with a large number of mortars and grenades.

When the devils were only one kilometer away from Wuyi County, more than a dozen flares were fired on the north city wall of Wuyi County, and the entire outside of the north city wall of Wuyi County suddenly became extremely bright. middle.

The light and heavy machine gunners of Wuyi County opened fire quickly, and at the same time, all kinds of artillery such as large-caliber artillery and mortars on the city wall of Wuyi County that had not been used during the day quickly shelled the outside of the city.

Before the devil could react, he was attacked by the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County.

When the devils fully reacted, they also quickly used mortar grenades and large-caliber artillery to shell the north city wall of Wuyi County. The Japanese infantry still charged towards the north city wall.

Five thousand imperial soldiers were only three kilometers away from the north city wall. At this time, they retreated, and the various artillery in their hands could only be discarded on the spot. At the same time, they would also be bombarded by the heavy howitzers of the Eighth Route Army. There was no choice, either they rushed into Wuyi County, which was heavily defended by the Eighth Route Army, or they completely confessed here.

Waves of Japanese devils crazily attacked Wuyi County, and the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County naturally used all kinds of powerful firepower to greet the Japanese devils.

A brigade of Japanese devils charged, and only a few dozen people rushed under the city wall of Wuyi County. Before they could make any achievements under the city wall of Wuyi County, they were directly beaten into a sieve by the Eighth Route Army.

The north city wall of Wuyi County was attacked and bombed by various types of artillery from the Japanese army. Many places were directly blasted open, and a gap was opened in the city gate reinforced and thickened by the Eighth Route Army. This battle can be said to be extremely tragic of.
