Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 20 I want all the information about Li Yunlong!

"Report to the captain."

A soldier hurriedly ran up to Takeo Abe:
"We found the wing commander."

Major Goto Sanpei beside him also turned his head suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the regiment commander? Is he still alive?"

After the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Sakata Regiment fled separately.

Thanks to radio communication, the remaining Japanese soldiers quickly gathered at a location six or seven kilometers away from the front battlefield.

The Sakata Regiment, which originally had more than 3600 troops, can now only gather less than 1600 people.

The other soldiers of the Sakata Regiment were either killed in battle, injured or missing.

Even the regiment commander was missing, and the morale of the entire unit was low.

As long as the Chinese army launches a charge, the Sakata Regiment will be completely defeated.

"over there."

The Japanese soldier pointed behind the two Japanese majors.

Goto and Abe turned around at the same time, and expressions of disbelief and shock appeared on their faces.

What the soldier was pointing at was a stretcher covered with a long white cloth.

Goto Sanpei and Abe Takeo walked over quickly with their swords slung over their shoulders, lifted the white cloth and took a look.

Under the white cloth, there was a headless corpse lying with only underwear left on the body. The military uniform, saber and pistol were all stripped off.

Judging from the size of the headless corpse, this person was none other than their regiment commander, Colonel Nobutsu Sakata.

"Captain!"

"How could this be?"

Seeing this scene, Goto Sanpei and Abe Takeo were immediately furious.

"idiot!!"

The two men simultaneously drew their major's swords and slashed wildly.

……

Japanese front-line headquarters.

"General."

A Japanese staff officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel walked quickly into the headquarters:

"News has arrived from the right-wing attack force: the Locust Army's 136th Regiment has failed in its attack. Colonel Sakata, the regiment commander, has been killed, and the Sakata Regiment has suffered 2000 casualties."

Lieutenant General Seishirō Itagaki, the highest commander on the front line, suddenly turned his head.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face: "Nani?"

Major General Toshiji Miura, commander of the 21st Brigade, and a group of Japanese officers turned around.

There was an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Baka!!" Itagaki Seishirō cursed, frowning slightly, "What the hell is going on?"

After the July 7 Incident, the locust army invaded North China and Shanxi, and was invincible wherever they went.

There has never been a record of any regiment being defeated, let alone the death of Regiment Commander Sakata.

The 136th Regiment was formed with the remaining personnel of the 9th Division in the mainland as the backbone. Many officers and soldiers came from Type A divisions.

Soon after the 136th Regiment entered Shanxi, it defeated a Chinese division with minimal casualties of its own.

Its combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the 5th Division's infantry regiment, but not by much.

Why were we suddenly defeated?
And the regiment commander, Colonel Sakata, was killed in battle?
The communications staff officer who came to report bowed his head:

"General, according to a report from Major Abe, commander of the 136st Infantry Battalion of the 1th Regiment, while the main force of the 136th Regiment was fighting at the front, the regiment headquarters was ambushed by Chinese troops while moving forward. This Chinese force had powerful firepower and was equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns, as well as an infantry cannon. In less than 10 minutes, the 136th Regiment headquarters was devastated. Then, this enemy force, along with the Chinese troops in front, attacked from both sides and defeated the Sakata Regiment. The Chinese soldiers also chopped off the head of the regiment commander Sakata."

"Baga, roll the road!"

As soon as the communications officer finished speaking, Itagaki Seishirō slammed the table.

The Sakata Regiment was defeated, and the Sakata Regiment Commander was killed, which was nothing.

but.

The Chinese army even chopped off Colonel Sakata's head.

This is a naked provocation to the Japanese locust army.

What a shame!
"Which Chinese army was fighting against the Sakata Regiment?" Itagaki Seishirō asked in a deep voice. He felt that he had been humiliated. He was very angry now and the consequences would be serious.

"Reporting to the head of the division."

Colonel Tomoyuki Nishimura, the Chief of Staff, bowed his head and replied:
"It's the 73rd Division of the Chinese Army. According to intelligence, the 73rd Division is Yan Xishan's unit, and its commander is Liu Fengbin."

"Baga!" Itagaki Seishirō shouted angrily, "We must destroy the 73rd Division and Liu Fengbin." "Hey!" The Japanese officers suddenly lowered their heads.

Then, Itagaki Seishirō stared at the map for a while.

Itagaki Seishirō said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order to move the remaining troops of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 136th Regiment to the center to destroy the Chinese army."

Currently, the Chinese army has about 20 troops, divided into three defensive lines: left, center and right.

The Japanese army also divided into three directions of attack: left, center and right, with a total strength of about 5.

The Japanese troops attacking on the left were the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, and the Japanese troops attacking in the center were the main forces such as the 5st Brigade of the 21th Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade.

Attacking on the right flank were the 136th Regiment and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Since the 136th Regiment was defeated, the attack of the Independent 15th Mixed Brigade was not going well either.

In this case, it would be better to transfer the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade to the central route and defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

"Hi."

Colonel Nishimura Toshio suddenly lowered his head, turned around and went to deliver the order.

……

Taiyuan.

inner city.

Second Theater Command.

Japanese fighter planes bombed Taiyuan every day, causing panic among the people.

In the headquarters operations room.

Yan Xishan, commander of the Second War Zone, stared at the sand table on the Xinkou front with a frown.

The Japanese army came with great force, as if they were going to destroy the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and occupy Shanxi.

As the King of Shanxi, Yan Laoxi, who regarded Shanxi and Taiyuan as his exclusive territory, was certainly not happy.

So Yan Laoxi united the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, and a total of 20 troops were deployed in Xinkou in a grand manner, ready to give the Japanese a taste of pain.

However, judging from the current situation, the situation is not optimistic for the Chinese military.

Under the cover of aircraft, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the Xinkou front.

The Chinese army suffered nearly 3000 casualties every day.

Moreover, Liu Fengbin, commander of the 73rd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was also asking him for help.

Yan Xishan had no choice but to urge the 73th Group Army Command to send reinforcements to the rd Division as soon as possible.

Damn the Japs!

"What did you say?"

At this time, in the Operations Hall, after listening to the report from the Communications Officer, Yan Laoxi's voice was shocked, and his face was also shocked:
"The 73rd Division defeated the Sakata Regiment?"

He questioned what he had just heard.

A few hours ago, the 73rd Division was still asking for help from the theater command. If the reinforcements did not arrive, the 73rd Division would be defeated.

How long had it been since the 73rd Division reported that they had defeated the Sakata Regiment?

How can this be?

Yan Laoxi’s first reaction was, could it be that the decoder copied the telegram incorrectly?

It was not the Sakata Regiment that was defeated by the 73rd Division, but the 73rd Division that was defeated by the Sakata Regiment.

"Is the news confirmed?" Yan Xishan asked in a deep voice.

"Sure!"

The communications officer was also shocked:

"At first, I also thought the decoder had copied the telegram incorrectly, but I personally spoke to Commander Liu of the 73rd Division..."

Immediately, the communications staff officer repeated the 73rd Division's report to Yan Laoxi in detail.

Because the Eighth Route Army had Sakata's head and the colonel's command sword, the 73rd Division could not take all the credit for defeating Sakata's regiment.

"Led the troops to attack the Japanese 136th Regiment? Killed the commander Sakata?"

Hearing this, Yan Laoxi took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily:
"I want all the information about Li Yunlong!"

Li Yunlong, right?
I, Yan Laoxi, will remember you!
