I am a wolf warrior

Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, not only Takumi Mizuhara was dumbfounded, Ryuichi Sakamoto was also stunned.

The two little devils really can't imagine, what danger can the 4th Brigade be in?Can the 4 and [-]th Route Army capture Yangquan, where [-] Japanese troops are stationed, and wipe out the [-]th Brigade?

Even a lunatic would not dare to think so, would he?

Could it be that your Excellency the Commander has lost his mind and gone insane?

Seeing Mizuhara Takuya standing still, Yoshio Shinozuka became anxious: "Hachi, why don't you go?"

"Hai!" Mizuhara Takuya just woke up like a dream, turned around and hurried back to the communication class to send a telegram.

Ryuichi Sakamoto still couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency Commander, I want to know, what are you worried about?"

Yoshio Shinozuka ignored Ryuichi Sakamoto, and turned around to Shinichi Shibata, the captain of the 9th Flying Team, and said, "Shibata-kun, please dispatch two light bombers from the 9th Flying Squadron to Yangquan."

Shinichi Shibata: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you supporting the 4th Brigade in defending the city?"

"No." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, "It's to bomb the 11th armored train convoy!"

After all, Yoshio Shinozuka, the military sensitivity is much higher than the other devils present.

The other devils just wondered why the 11th armored train team lost contact for a long time, but Shinozuka Yoshio went further and thought that the 11th armored train team had been hijacked.

Although I can't figure out how the Eighth Route Army did it,

But it is clear that the Eighth Route Army has indeed hijacked the armored trains of the 11th Armored Train Squadron.

However, Shibata Shinichi obviously didn't think about this, and asked in disbelief: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you saying that the 11th armored train convoy was bombed?"

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "Bomb the 11th armored train convoy!"

"Hai!" Shibata Shinichi finally heard clearly this time, turned around and left after a pause.

Ryuichi Sakamoto finally came to his senses, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you suspecting that the armored train of the 11th Armored Train Squadron has been hijacked?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It's not doubt, but affirmation."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "Although I don't know how the Eighth Route Army did it, the armored train of the 11th Armored Train Team must have been hijacked."

"This is impossible!" Sakamoto Ryuichi said decisively, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Speaking of this meal, Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "Even if the armored train is really hijacked by the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to suddenly appear in Yangquan County. From Jingxing to Yangquan, you have to go through Niangziguan Railway Station, Yanzigou Stronghold and Sang Control the stronghold, have all the three first-level strongholds been destroyed?"

"I'm afraid it is." Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid these three first-level strongholds have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Not only Ryuichi Sakamoto, but Ryuichi Tanaka said in disbelief, "Your Excellency, Niangziguan stronghold, Yanzigou stronghold, and Sangzhang stronghold are the three strongest strongholds along Zhengtai Road. , the Eighth Route Army wants to destroy these three first-level strongholds overnight, how easy is it?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto said bluntly: "I also think that Your Excellency, Commander, seems to be over-exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. It is impossible for the armored train to be hijacked by the Eighth Route Army, and it is even more impossible to appear in Yangquan..."

However, before the words were finished, Mizuhara Takuya came in again and reported: "Your Excellency, the 4th Brigade requests the aviation team to urgently send bombers to Yangquan to bomb the armored train hijacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Takashi Sakamoto froze when he heard the words.

"Baga." Yoshio Shinozuka's expression changed instantly.

Such a telegram sent by the 4th Brigade is enough to show that the situation he is most worried about has emerged.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked at the moment: "Did the 4th Brigade take the initiative to attack? And during the attack, it was attacked by artillery fire from the 11th Armored Train Team, and suffered heavy losses?"

"Yes." Mizuhara Takushi said with a solemn expression, "The 4th Squadron of Independent Armored Vehicles that attacked was caught off guard by the artillery fire of the 11th Armored Train Squadron, and it suffered a complete loss."

"Okazuo Brigade lost almost all its heavy firepower, and nearly half of its personnel were killed or injured."

"Currently, the Eighth Route Army has broken into Yangquan County and started brutal street fighting with the remnants of the 4th Brigade."

"Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is very fierce. Given the current situation, the remnants of the 4th Brigade may not be able to hold out for too long, so I request the headquarters to urgently send reinforcements!"

After Mizuhara Takuya finished speaking, the entire war room fell into dead silence.

Including Yoshio Shinozuka, everyone seemed to have been immobilized and could no longer move.

After a long while, with a burst of "ding ding ling" the phone rang, and everyone suddenly came to life again.

"Order!" Shinozuka Yoshio growled with a dark face, "Shouyang Yamazaki Battalion immediately reinforces Yangquan. This is extremely urgent, so don't delay!"

"Another order, the 9th and 36th Independent Infantry Battalions of the 37th Brigade, as well as the Independent Artillery Corps and Engineer Corps, immediately attack and advance in the direction of Yangquan. This order is also urgent! There must be no delay!"

"Hai!" Mizuhara Takuya paused, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Shinozuka Yoshio turned around and walked to the sand table, his eyes fell on Yangquan's position.

Ryuichi Tanaka, Ryuichi Banmoto and several combat staff officers also followed to the sand table.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the situation may not be that bad." Takashi Tanaka persuaded, "Even if the Gangzao Battalion was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, the 4th Brigade still has a brigade headquarters and two wing headquarters, at least there is still a brigade. There are thousands of fighters, so it is not a problem to hold Yangquan County."

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Of course there is no problem under normal circumstances, but if there is the Type 11 armored train equipped by the [-]th Armored Train Team, the situation will be different."

"What do you think, the fortifications of the 4th Brigade in Yangquan?"

"Whether it is the fortifications of the city wall or the ring barricades in the city,"

"Can it stop even one shot from the Type [-] armored train?"

Longji Tanaka was at a loss for words, this... Of course it must be unstoppable.

Ryuichi Sakamoto frowned and said, "But, Commander, I still don't believe that the Eighth Route Army is capable of hijacking the Type [-] armored train? This is an armored train! It's not an armored vehicle!"

Chapter 122 Killing a Major General

"idiot!"

Shinozuka Yoshio scolded: "It's already this time, what's the point of arguing about this?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I don't mean that." Ryuichi Sakamoto quickly explained, "I mean, even if the Eighth Route Army really hijacked the armored train of the 11th armored train, even if they really drove the armored train to Yangquan, the armored train It's also impossible for the train to be completely undamaged."

Shinozuka Yoshio's heart skipped a beat, and he said thoughtfully, "You mean..."

Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "The Eighth Route Army should not have obtained a complete armored train. I don't believe that after the 11th armored train was attacked, it was too late to even blow up the cannon."

Yoshio Shinozuka was also confused about this point.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka turned his attention to Kazuki Yamamoto.

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think from the special attack team's point of view?"

Kazuki Yamamoto paused slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Theoretically, it's still possible."

"Is it possible in theory?" Sakamoto Ryuichi frowned, "Yamamoto-kun, please tell me how to capture an armored train that is fully armed and equipped with nearly a hundred combatants?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "Send an elite team to sneak into the armored train, and then the commander of the 11th armored train team issued a wrong order, strictly ordering all combatants to stick to their positions, and they may be killed by this elite team." The small troops broke through one by one, and seized the carriages one by one until they took control of the entire train."

Ryuichi Sakamoto questioned: "The question is, how to sneak in?"

"This is actually not difficult." Kazuki Yamamoto said sarcastically, "At least any member of our Yamamoto special attack team can easily do it. We can quietly sneak into the coal water compartment while the armored train is entering the station to replenish coal water. , and then waited for the armored train to leave the station and opened the door to pick up more team members."

Ryuichi Sakamoto was speechless for a moment, is there really such a possibility?

"However, you don't have to worry too much, Commander." Kazuki Yamamoto said to Shinozuka Yoshio again, "The air force will soon arrive at Yangquan and destroy the armored train."

"The 4th Brigade persisted until the Yamazaki Brigade arrived and there was no problem."

"In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army has no precedent for attacking a strong fortress before. Lacking experience in this area, it is inevitable that various problems will be exposed in actual combat, so the attack will not go smoothly."

While speaking, the huge roar of the plane sounded outside the window.

Looking back anxiously, I saw two Type 2 land attack aircraft soaring into the sky.

The four 4Kg aerial bombs hanging under the belly of the aircraft are also clearly visible.

"I hope." Shinozuka Yoshio said quietly, "I hope everything can be done in time."

"It must be in time." Takashi Tanaka seemed to be cheering himself up and comforting Yoshio Shinozuka, "It is only 30 kilometers from Shouyang to Yangquan, and the Yamazaki Battalion can reach the battlefield in three hours in a hurry."

Ryuichi Sakamoto echoed: "There is absolutely no problem with the 4th Brigade persisting for three hours."

Yoshio Shinozuka was silent when he heard the words, and did not argue with Takashi Tanaka and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

But Shinozuka Yoshio knew very well in his heart that since the Eighth Route Army had carefully organized such a combat operation aimed at destroying the 4th Brigade, it was impossible not to have corresponding arrangements.

Not surprisingly, there will definitely be obstacles on the way.

Three hours?The Yamazaki Brigade will burn incense if they arrive at Yangquan before evening.

However, Shinozuka Yoshio did not say this, because morale can only be boosted, not discouraged. As the commander of the 1st Army, he cannot dampen the morale of his subordinates.

……

Yoshio Shinozuka's estimation was completely accurate.

The Eighth Route Army did make arrangements for the Yamazaki Brigade.

However, it needs to be explained that in the plan of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, there is no such a big drama as the four main groups of the 386th Brigade attacking Yangquan County together.

According to the unified deployment of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the 129th Division has prepared 8 regiments.

其中2个团用来阻击井泾的第8旅团，2个团用来阻击寿阳的山崎大队，剩下的4个团全部用来阻击太原的第9旅团。

Therefore, the two infantry brigades of the Yamazaki Brigade and the 9th Brigade were immediately blocked as soon as they left the city.

Moreover, the blocking method of the Eighth Route Army made people very speechless. The Eighth Route Army did not fight the Japanese army head-on at all. Instead, it arranged troops in companies and platoons along railways and roads, and each company and platoon had two fronts. Only individual soldiers are deployed on the first front, while light and heavy machine guns are deployed on the second front.

I have to say that this tactic of the Eighth Route Army is very annoying.

At the beginning, both the Yamazaki Brigade and the two infantry brigades of the 9th Brigade only wanted to disperse the blocking Eighth Route Army to reinforce Yangquan as soon as possible, so they only sent a small group of troops to attack from the two wings, and the main force of the brigade continued along the road. And the railway is advancing at full speed to Yangquan.

But it didn't take long for the small troops responsible for protecting the two wings to be hit hard.

At this time, the two brigades of the Yamazaki Brigade and the 9th Brigade began to pay attention, so they deployed troops and firepower to prepare to defeat the blocking Eighth Route Army first, and then advance.

However, after the Japanese army put in the main force to launch an offensive, they found that the Eighth Route Army was "collapsed at the touch of a touch."

So the Japanese commander decisively ordered the pursuit, ready to completely defeat the blocking Eighth Route Army.

Then, the Japanese army suffered a big loss on the second front of the Eighth Route Army. Facing the cross-fire network constructed by the Eighth Route Army with light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese infantry who went into the attack suffered heavy casualties.

So the Japanese army quickly transferred heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry artillery.

However, when the Japanese army carried tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms of heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry guns to the hills on both sides, they found that the Eighth Route Army had slipped away again, gone, gone!

However, both sides of Zhengtai Road are full of large and small hills.

Even if the Japanese army quickly set up heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry artillery, it would be useless, because the Eighth Route Army had already hidden behind the mountain, and although the Japanese army's firepower was strong, it could not penetrate the mountain.

Therefore, Yamazaki Zhihei and the head of the 9th Brigade don't mention how depressed they are.

Just ignore it, the Eighth Route Army is like a fly, always buzzing in front of your eyes and ears, it hurts to sting you when you are not prepared, but when you open your posture and want to fight with him, it is too late. I don't know where it flew to. This feeling, like a heavy punch on the cotton, can really make people choke out internal injuries.

In the end, I had no choice but to grind a little bit according to the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army.

What kind of grinding method?It is to honestly clean up the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army, seize the hills along the line little by little, establish security positions, and wait until the main force of the brigade has passed, then withdraw the security forces and move forward alternately.

According to this style of play, don't count on speed or anything. Getting to Yangquan before dark is already a high incense.

The Eighth Route Army has little experience in fighting tough battles, but they don't have too much experience in fighting mahjong and blocking battles. Almost all of them are master-level masters.

……

Can the 4th Brigade survive until dark?Can't last two hours!

Because the armored train has already entered Yangquan County from the railway crossing in the northeast corner!

Kazuki Yamamoto's analysis is basically correct. The Eighth Route Army did not have a precedent for attacking a strong fortress, and it lacks experience in this regard.

Even Li Yunlong has no experience in this area.

But Wang Ye has no shortage of experience in this area.

Before time travel, there were too many classic battle cases for Wang Ye to learn from or even review.

Among other things, the Battle of Linfen and the Battle of Jinan must have been discussed.

Compared with the fortified battle of Linfen, the battle in front of us cannot be called a fortified battle, but can only be called a brutal battle!

Therefore, Wang Ye's tactics for the four regiments are very clear and simple, that is, go straight to the headquarters and break into the city to destroy the 4th brigade headquarters in the shortest possible time!

As long as the 4th Brigade headquarters is destroyed,

The devils in Yangquan City immediately became headless chickens.

The simpler and more direct tactics are often the more effective.

Out of unconditional trust in Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, Zhang Dabiao led the 1st Battalion, and Shen Quan led the 2nd Battalion, just like two straight-headed cows, rushing forward.

The other three regiments launched a fierce attack at the same time.
