Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 47 Bayonet fighting is such a beautiful thing!

"This is the Dike Detachment, calling the 5th Division! Calling the 5th Division!"

"This is the Dike Detachment, calling the 5th Division! Calling the 5th Division!"

Radio operator Yoshikawa Hachiro held the microphone to his mouth in one hand and the receiver to his ear, calling out in a rapid and panicked tone.

It would definitely be too late to send a telegram in code at this time. Both sending the telegram and deciphering it after receiving it would take some time.

By the time the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese soldiers were already dead.

Although calling in plain text is likely to be monitored by the enemy.

But there is no other way now, we can only use clear code to call for reinforcements to come quickly.

After calling out three times in a row, Yoshikawa Hachiro heard a buzzing sound, followed by a voice:

"This is the 5th Division, this is the 5th Division."

Yoshikawa Hachiro said anxiously: "This is the Dike Detachment. The transport team was ambushed by the enemy in Wangdong Fort. Requesting tactical guidance, requesting tactical guidance!"

"What?" The voice in the headset suddenly rose. "How many enemies are there? What's their firepower?"

Yoshikawa Hachiro quickly covered the receiver and shouted to Tsutsumi Fukaki, "Sir, how many enemies are there in the 5th Division and what is their firepower?"

"Baga, what did you say?"

"The 5th Division asks how many enemies there are and what their firepower is."

"Just say the enemy has a division, no fewer than 500 machine guns, and at least 20 artillery pieces. Request tactical guidance and air support!"

"Hi!"

"The enemy has a division! Over 600 machine guns and over 30 artillery pieces! Requesting tactical guidance and air support! If you're too late, we'll be destroyed!"

……

Xinkou.

Japanese front-line headquarters.

Itagaki Seishirō suddenly turned his head and looked at the communications officer who came to report:

"What? The transport team was ambushed in Wangdong Fort?"

Itagaki Seishirō was a little confused.

At Wangdong Fort, Itagaki Seishirō passed by there before, and the terrain there is just average.

Moreover, the transport team has a security force of more than a locust army battalion. The garrison troops of Gang County and Dai County, as well as the cavalry and mobile troops of Xinkou can provide timely reinforcements, which are only a few dozen kilometers away.

With the combat effectiveness of the dike detachment, it can definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive.

It would be fine if they ambushed the locust army's transport team north of Yanmen Pass in Dai County.

How dare the enemy set up an ambush right under the noses of the locust army? Are they seeking death?
"Hi!"

The Communications Staff will report all received information truthfully:
"According to the radio operator of the Di Detachment, the transport team was ambushed by Chinese troops at Wangdong Fort. The enemy has over 600 machine guns and over 30 artillery pieces. The situation is critical. Lieutenant Colonel Di Bujiagui requests air and ground support."

Itagaki Seishirō was stunned. More than 600 machine guns? 30 cannons?
This firepower intensity is quite powerful even on the front battlefield.

If this is true... the dike detachment and the transport squadron may not be able to make it until the reinforcements arrive.

"Sir, Division Commander, according to intelligence, the force operating behind the locust army is the 18th Chinese Army, also known as the Eighth Route Army. This ambush was most likely carried out by the Eighth Route Army. Concentrate all of the army's machine gun firepower. It was this Eighth Route Army that ambushed the locust army at Pingxingguan."

The commander of the 21st Brigade, Toshiji Miura, analyzed:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is an opportunity to destroy the Eighth Route Army."

"Eighth Route Army?" Upon hearing these three words, Itagaki Seishirō's face suddenly turned gloomy.

After he led the 5st Brigade of the 21th Division and other main forces into North China, he was invincible and victorious all the way.

However, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Pingxingguan, and the myth of the Japanese army's invincibility was shattered. This was also one of the few defeats suffered by Itagaki Seishirō.

Then Itagaki Seishirō suddenly drew out his lieutenant general's sword and slashed forward:
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is seeking death, so I'll help them!" "Call for air support from the North China Front Army Headquarters. Order the Cavalry Battalion, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, the Daixian Chucun Squadron, and the Gangxian Baimu Squadron to immediately head for the Wangdong Fort Dike Detachment!"

Swish—the blade flashed, and the Eight Immortals Table was split in two, scaring the communications staff and combat staff into fear.

"Hi!"

The communications officer's expression froze, and he turned around and ran to deliver the message.

……

at the same time.

Xinkou Chinese Army Front Command.

The communications officer walked in quickly, saluted Wei Lihuang, and reported:
"Reporting to the commander, our radio station just intercepted a plain language conversation between the Dike Detachment and the 5th Division Headquarters."

"Oh?" General Wei Lihuang looked up from his gaze at the map. "What did the enemy say?"

The communications officer replied, "The Japanese Dike Detachment was ambushed by Chinese troops at Wangdong Fort. The Dike Detachment requested air and ground support from the 5th Division. The Japanese radio operator said that the ambushing Chinese troops had 600 machine guns and 30 cannons."

Wei Lihuang quickly found the location of Wangdong Fort on the map.

"Haha! The Japs also like to lie about military intelligence?" Wei Lihuang laughed. "I knew it. Yesterday, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent a telegram saying that we could launch a counterattack today. So it's because of this."

The 129th Division was operating in Dai County. It had 600 machine guns? 30 cannons?
Wei Lihuang didn't believe it.

Although the Eighth Route Army was unwilling to fight the Japanese on the front line, many people in the National Army had complaints.

However, the role played by the Eighth Route Army in the enemy's rear battlefield was no less than that played by the Eighth Route Army in the front battlefield, and was even much greater.

It was precisely because the Eighth Route Army frequently attacked the Japanese's transportation lines behind enemy lines and even blew up the Japanese's airports and planes that the troops on the front battlefield had less difficulty fighting.

"Pass on my order. The troops must immediately launch a full-scale counterattack according to the plan. We must not allow the Japanese to fully reinforce Wangdong Fort."

Wei Lihuang slammed his fist on the table with murderous intent.

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer looked excited, turned around and ran quickly to convey the order.

The combat staff also became motivated. After being suppressed by the Japanese for so long, they finally had a chance to fight back!
……

Wangdongbao battlefield.

The battle is in full swing.

The Japanese soldiers crawled on the ground and fired at the Eighth Route Army on the slope.

The Japanese's marksmanship was indeed very strong, but they were not at an advantage in terms of terrain, manpower and firepower.

However, the Japanese soldiers who had calmed down were not too panicked.

Based on the experience of being ambushed at Pingxingguan and other places.

Before long, Chinese troops would rush down with swords, spears, and rifles with fixed bayonets to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Chinese army has many machine guns, it definitely does not have many bullets.

The Japs were betting that the Eighth Route Army didn't have many bullets in their guns.

Some Japanese soldiers had even mounted the Type 30 bayonets on their rifles, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to come down and fight with bayonets.

The Japanese were very confident in their bayonet fighting skills and felt that one of them could beat ten.

Then there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But as time went on, the Japanese found that their casualties were increasing, while the firepower of the Eighth Route Army did not decrease at all.

What about the bayonet fight?
Bayonet fighting is such a beautiful thing!

grandma's!
Why don't you come down and fight with bayonets!?
