Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 203: The Enemy Soldier Appears in the North, and the Turtle is in the Turtle!
"The matter has come to this, the head of the division, Takai Hanaya, has died fighting for the empire."

After reading the emergency telegram sent by the chief of staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment Chiya Jiro, Nagata Taro, the head of the division with a gloomy face, persuaded Taketo Kenzaburo, the chief of staff of the 36th Infantry Regiment.

"Now Jiro Qianye is requesting tactical guidance in the telegram, division commander, how should we reply?"

Nagata Taro's face is gloomy now. He didn't expect that Hanagu Xiaoyi led two infantry brigades to successfully sneak attack from Fenglindu to the south bank of Nanliu River, and they would fail, and the whole army was wiped out.

Now, more than half of the 41st Infantry Regiment has lost, and even the regiment leader Hanagu Xiaoyi has joined in.

"Now that the rest of the 41st Infantry Regiment has crossed the Nanliu River, it is unlikely that they will be able to regain Mingjia Town."

Although he was angry in his heart, now that the remaining troops of the 41st Infantry Regiment with about 800 troops had killed Nanliu River, the possibility of regaining Mingjia Town was indeed slim.

So Nagata Taro looked at the map on the table, under the illumination of the light, immediately said solemnly: "But it is impossible for the 41st Infantry Regiment to withdraw its troops and return to the north.".

"Once the enemy army that captured Mingjia Town crosses the north, wouldn't we be shortened in depth?"

With that said, Taro Nagata pointed to the map and said to Major General Kenzaburo Taketo, chief of staff of the division.

"Is that what the head of the division means?"

Seeing this, Taketo Kensaburo asked in a concentrated voice.

"The 41st Infantry Regiment Chief of Staff Chiya Jiro commanded the remaining troops of the Regiment to build fortifications on the spot for defense."

Nagata Taro said in a solemn tone: "Prevent the enemy from crossing the river from the ferry on the south bank of Fenglindu, and attacking the enemy troops on the north bank from our side along the highway.".

"Yes, division commander."

Kenzaburo Taketo looked at the map and understood Nagata Taro's meaning, then nodded to indicate to the communications staff at the side to send a telegram to Jiro Senya immediately.

After the communications staff officer walked away, Kenzaburo Taketo said to the head of the division Nagata Taro in a condensed voice: "Master of the division, the Nanliu River has been controlled by the enemy troops who attacked and occupied Mingjia Town.".

"But we haven't made much progress in attacking Jinghai County, what should we do next? It's impossible to hold our troops against the city without limit!"

Nagata Taro looked at the map, feeling quite helpless.

The previous division of troops was roundabout, and the attack on Jiangjunling and Laoyeling failed.

Now, the rear supply line is cut.

The 41st Infantry Regiment went south to recapture Mingjia Town, and the operation to open up the supply line failed again.

"The food, grass and ammunition we carry can last at least a few days without any problem."

Gritting his teeth, Nagata Taro continued: "So, it is impossible to withdraw troops.".

"We must take down Jinghai County, otherwise, the commander will not let me go!"

Hearing this, the chief of staff of the division, Taketo Kensaburo, felt bitter.

Nagata Taro, already has a bit of a hard fight in his mind.

"As of now, more than [-] soldiers have been lost."

Taketo Kensaburo said bitterly: "Although we still have more than [-] people, but the division commander, the supply line behind has been cut off. If we can't get through, our food, grass and ammunition will be exhausted in a few days.".

"The army will be in a dangerous situation."

Nagata Taro looked at the map, and when he heard Taketo Kensaburo say that, he knew that Taketo Kensaburo had already withdrawn his troops, and turned around with all his strength to go south, recapture Mingjia Town in the rear, and open up the supply line.

It's just that it's impossible to withdraw now.

However, if they do not withdraw and attack Jinghai County by storm, just taking down Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, judging from the firepower of the defenders on the two mountains, at least [-] to [-] losses are needed to capture these two mountains. mountain.

What's more, after capturing the commanding heights outside the city, it is estimated that thousands of soldiers will be lost in the street fighting inside the city.

At that time, if he hit Heyuan County, wouldn't it mean that his remaining 2 people would not be enough!
Therefore, this is the reason why Nagata Taro urgently needs the second batch of poison gas bombs transferred to him by the headquarters.

Relying on gas bombs, try to reduce the number of casualties of the army in the next attack.

Otherwise, just taking down Jinghai County will cause huge casualties.

Only now, the rear supply line was cut off, and the 41st Infantry Regiment's southward counterattack failed.

Up to now, Nagata Taro is panicking in his heart.

However, it is impossible to withdraw from Jinghai County and return to the south now.

After thinking about it, Taro Nagata said to Kenzaburo Taketo: "Withdraw from Jinghai County and turn around and return to the south, not for the time being.".

"When the second batch of gas bombs assigned to us by the headquarters arrives in Mingjia Town tomorrow morning, the guards of the second convoy transporting the gas bombs will use the gas bombs to take back Mingjia Town. We still have a chance."

Hearing this, Taketo Kensaburo thought for a while, then bit the bullet and hypothesized: "Division Commander, what if the imperial guards transporting the second batch of gas bombs cannot use the gas bombs to take back Mingjia Town?".

"At that time, we can only ask the commander to send reinforcements and take back Mingjia Town."

After thinking about it, Nagata Taro said bitterly.

"Understood, division commander."

Taketo Kenzaburo nodded and said.

To put it bluntly, Nagata Taro was still unwilling to withdraw his troops and retreat southward.

After all, more than [-] soldiers have been lost.

It would be too embarrassing to withdraw now.

"All departments of the Herald Division, from now on, turn to defense."

Nagata Taro then ordered, "A small group of stragglers, continue to attack Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain by feigning attacks at night."

"Consume two mountains of enemy ammunition!"

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and said in a concentrated voice: "Yes, division head, I will arrange for someone to pass the order down.".

"Um!!!"

Nagata Taro nodded, but his eyes were clouded.

What the old devil didn't know at this time was that Xu Rui had transferred the 18th Air Assault Battalion to airborne on Woyupo, and cooperated with the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment to attack the rest of the 41st Infantry Regiment.

The time quickly came to eleven past six in the evening.

Under the night, the 303th Air Assault Battalion of the 18rd Regiment, under the command of Xu Dahu, the commander of the Air Assault Battalion, quickly and quietly took off from the Huting stronghold under the cover of night, and flew southward to After airborne near Woyupo, they quickly seized Woyupo.

At this time, the rest of the Devil's 41st Infantry Regiment, which was building fortifications on both sides of the roadside on the north bank of the Nanliujiang Stone Bridge, had no idea that Woyupo, which was less than five kilometers to the north, had been captured by the air assault battalion of the 303rd Regiment.

"Chief of Staff, why didn't the division commander withdraw his troops?"

In a mountainous area on the north bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge Road, the 41rd Infantry Battalion Captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment and Major Fujishinichi asked the chief of staff of the [-]st Infantry Regiment, and now the interim commander of the [-]st Infantry Regiment, Senya Jiro.

Under the darkness of night, Qianye Jiro, who was standing on the top of the mountain beside the road at his feet, heard the words and said: "In fact, the commander of the division has already said the order in the previous telegram. He is afraid that the enemy army who ambushed the troops commanded by the regimental commander on the south bank of Fenglindu, We will re-build a pontoon bridge at Fenglindu, cross the river to the north bank of the Nanliu River, and head here in a detour."

"If we retreat to the city of Jinghai County, wouldn't there be no troops behind? Besides, if the enemy fights like this, we can only build fortifications here to defend against the enemy who came round after crossing the river from the direction of Fenglindu. military."

He Teng Shinichi, the third infantry battalion captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment, heard the words, and said bitterly: "The enemy army that ambushed the regiment leader and theirs at Fenglindu is 100% the enemy army that attacked and occupied Mingjia Town.".

"The enemy's strength may be more than one or two thousand."

Chiya Jiro said helplessly: "It is already night now, even if the enemy's strength on the south bank is more than 2000, for us, the possibility of our success in crossing the river is gone.".

"Now, we can only build fortifications on the spot to guard against the enemy troops coming from Fenglindudu River roundabout! How is the fortification construction?"

The captain of the 41rd Infantry Battalion and Major Fuji Shinichi, currently the main force of the rest of the [-]st Infantry Regiment, immediately said: "It is already under construction.".

"Even if the enemy army that ambushed the regiment leader re-established the pontoon bridge from Fenglindu, crossed the river to the north bank, and made a detour to attack here, it is estimated that it would not be possible to attack here until after 11:30, and it was still based on the speed of marching. .”

Qianye Jiro nodded, this is true.

After all, it was enough time to give them time to build in place and prepare for defense.

However, the good mood didn't last for a few seconds, and then a devil soldier rushed over in a hurry.

"Report, report to the Chief of Staff, emergency situation, enemy soldiers are here, enemy soldiers are here."

A ghost soldier rushed over and whispered to Qianye Jiro: "One of the few imperial soldiers left behind in Woyupo has escaped, and Woyupo was captured by an enemy army that suddenly appeared.".

"Nani?"

Hearing this, Chiya Jiro and Watou Shinichi who was talking to Chiya Jiro looked at each other in blank dismay, and then said in surprise in unison.

Of course they knew where Woyupo was.

When I went north, I had already studied the map. This place is less than five kilometers north of Nanliujiang Shiqiao, on the east side of the road.

At an altitude of more than 300 meters, it is condescending and can block the road below with firepower.

Now that there is an enemy army that has captured Woyupo effortlessly, wouldn't that block them in the area from Woyupo to the north bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge?
On both sides of this area, there are lofty mountains.

What's more, if the enemy troops who crossed the river from Feng Lindu were killed here, wouldn't they be attacking them?

"Baga, we have become the second turtle in the urn!"

Qianye Jiro gritted his teeth, and said with a slightly changed expression.

"Isn't this the best choice? Chief of Staff!"

The 41rd Infantry Battalion Captain of the [-]st Infantry Regiment and Major Fuji Shinichi laughed bitterly at himself.

"This time it's troublesome."

Qianye Jiro immediately said with a gloomy face: "There is an enemy army behind us."
