I am a wolf warrior

Tadanobu Maeda put on his cloak and walked outside the field tent, and saw that the night sky in the northwest direction had turned red, as if it was on fire, and the heavy snow flying all over the sky could not be blocked.

"Division commander." Yuta Tsuchiya walked over and said, "The Eighth Route's offensive is not small."

Tadanobu Maeda made a visual inspection, and said, "There are at least 100 mortars or projectiles, otherwise there would be such a big scene."

Tsuchiya Yuta said awe-inspiringly: "That must be the main force of the Eight Routes in the Taihang bandit area."

"Of course it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area." Maeda Tadanobu smiled, and then said, "All this was expected by Xiaozuka-kun and I."

Tsuchiya Yuta asked again: "Should we attack now?"

"No, don't be in a hurry." Maeda Tadanobu waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer."

"Nani?" Yuta Tsuchiya was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment, "Master, why did you wait?"

Maeda Tadanobu said with a smile: "The reason is very simple. The Eighth Route Army has just launched an offensive. If we launch an offensive at this time, the Eighth Route Army may give up the offensive and return directly to help."

Chapter 239 The Main Force

"Sodesney."

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region will not be able to return to aid until the Eighth Route Army gets mixed up with the Jintian Detachment outside the sky and our 2nd Guards Division attacks again."

Tsuchiya Yuta pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

In fact, Yuta Tsuchiya understands everything, he just pretends not to understand.

As for the intention of doing this, of course it was to flatter Maeda Tadanobu.

Maeda Tadanobu is a senior in the army, and he has served as the principal of the Lu University, and his disciples and old officials are all over the army. He can transfer Yuta Tsuchiya to a certain infantry regiment as the captain of the regiment with just a word.

Tadanobu Maeda is old and mature, so he can naturally see Yuta Tsuchiya's intentions.

But Tadanobu Maeda doesn't mind this, young people should have ambitions.

With a slight smile, Maeda Tadanobu said again: "Besides this, there is another benefit."

"Oh really?" Yuta Tsuchiya was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't think there was another benefit.

"Mr. Tuwu, you are actually very clear." Maeda Tadanobu earnestly and kindly said, "At this time, the battle outside the sky has just started, and the Eighth Route Army staying at Shuiyao Mountain is worried that our 2nd Guards Division will send troops to attack, so they must be fully focused. Be alert, if we attack at this time, the resistance we encounter will be the most tenacious."

"But if we wait a while,"

"The Eighth Route Army will think that we will not take the initiative to attack at night,"

"At this time, the Eighth Route Army's vigilance will become lax, and if we attack suddenly, we will receive miraculous results. This is the so-called surprise attack. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed on first."

"Sodesne." Yuta Tsuchiya said sincerely.

"The head of the division is really well-informed and knowledgeable."

Another flattery came, Maeda Tadanobu readily accepted it.

……

Almost at the same time, Taiyuan had also received the telegram.

After receiving the telegram provided by the communications section, Ryuichi Sakamoto and another combat staff officer immediately fed back the latest situation of the enemy and the enemy on the sand table.

When Shinozuka Yoshio walked into the war room, the sand table work had been completed.

From the sand table, it can be seen that the Jintian detachment on the western front has built a tight fortification in advance in an area three to five kilometers away from the first line of sky.

The Tsuda detachment is the six sweeping detachments outside the first line of sky.

In order to facilitate command and operations, Shinozuka Yoshio temporarily combined the six sweeping detachments into one detachment, and Tsuda Mitake, the captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment, temporarily served as the detachment leader.

On the left and right wings of the Tsuda detachment and the front of the sky,

At least 8 battalions of the Eighth Route Army have launched the offensive.

Takashi Sakamoto pointed to the sand table and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the information provided by the Tsuda Detachment, at least 8 battalions of the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack on them from the left and right wings and from the front."

"The Eighth Route Army not only invested at least 8 infantry battalions in this campaign,"

"More than 200 (tools) mortars or grenade launchers have also been invested."

"The temporary fortifications built by the Tsuda detachment were greatly damaged."

"The two 75th Artillery Brigades of the Tsuda Detachment were limited by the field of view, resulting in low accuracy, so they could not effectively suppress the infantry support firepower of the Eighth Route Army."

Hearing this, several officers who came in with Shinozuka Yoshio started whispering.

Obviously, the troops and firepower invested by the Eighth Route Army exceeded their expectations.

Shinozuka Yoshio also looked concentrating, and then said to Sakamoto Ryuichi: "Sakamoto-kun, now you still insist that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is not at Shuiyao Mountain but at Zhengtai Road?"

Takashi Sakamoto frowned and said: "The Eighth Route Army likes to keep a reserve team when fighting. If it is a regiment of troops, it will only deploy a battalion of troops in the front, and sometimes even only deploy a company."

"Now, the Eighth Route Army that is attacking the Jintian Detachment has a strength of eight battalions. From this point of view, there are at least eight regiments in the Eighth Route Army."

"However, I still think it's just an illusion."

"If everything before was an illusion, it cannot be ruled out that this attack is also an illusion."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio's face collapsed again, and he thought that the idiot Ryuichi Sakamoto seemed to be on the shoulders with him, and after this battle was over, he would find a chance to send him to a certain brigade to serve as a Captain of the Infantry Regiment, otherwise it would be very annoying to have such a guy always sing the opposite.

And Takumi Mizuhara is also a die-hard supporter of Shinozuka Yoshio.

At that moment, Takuya Mizuhara retorted, "Isn't Sakamoto-kun's statement too arbitrary?"

"Arbitrary?" Sakamoto Takashi said, "Whether my statement is arbitrary is actually easy to verify."

After a pause, he said again: "Just look at the results of the offensive of the Eighth Route Army against the Jintian Detachment. If the Eighth Route Army's offensive is really as fierce as they showed, and caused huge casualties to the Jintian Detachment, then My judgment was wrong, the one who is beyond the horizon is really the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"And if the Eighth Route Army's offensive ends hastily, the Jintian detachment will suffer very few casualties."

"Hehe, then my judgment is correct. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is not in Shuiyao Mountain at all, so this mopping operation has actually failed."

……

In the sky, the fierce battle between the two sides is in full swing.

A [-]-type heavy machine gun of the devil blocked the way of the team directly under the independent regiment.

Including Li Yunlong, dozens of veterans directly under the team were suppressed under a ridge, unable to even raise their heads.

"Pillar? Pillar!" Li Yunlong turned his head and shouted, "Pillar?! Wang Chengzhu? Damn it, call me the damn Wang Chengzhu."

Ge Erdan ran away with his helmet on.

After a while, Ge Erdan flew back with Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu was still holding an 81mm mortar in his arms, and two artillerymen followed behind him.

"Regimental Leader!" Because of the rapid running, Wang Chengzhu's chest heaved violently, and he was panting violently when he spoke.

Li Yunlong pointed at the Type [-] heavy machine gun in front of him, and shouted sharply, "Get rid of this heavy machine gun!"

"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu agreed, then went around behind a rock, stood up under the cover of the rock, and stretched out his right thumb to roughly estimate the distance.

The light in the dark night is not good, it can only be estimated.

However, experienced veterans like Wang Chengzhu can estimate very accurately, and can even control the error of the impact point within half a meter within 1000 meters!

Then quickly set up the mortar.

After adjusting the shooting angle, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Cannonball!"

An artilleryman immediately handed over an 81mm caliber high-explosive grenade.

Wang Chengzhu stuffed the cannonball through the muzzle, and as soon as he let go, the cannonball slid into the barrel.

Only a sound of tom was heard, and a red light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. A few seconds later, the Type [-] heavy machine gun that was firing violently in front was blown to one side.

Several Devil machine gunners were also killed.

Li Yunlong immediately jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!"

While roaring, Li Yunlong turned the box cannon in his hand sideways, and fired a long burst towards the front.

The dense Mauser pistol bullets slammed forward in a fan shape, and the two devils who rushed up and tried to take over the heavy machine guns were immediately piled to the ground.

In the next moment, dozens of elite veterans who were suppressed under the ridge jumped up one after another, and rushed forward with the Sanba Dagai holding the bayonet.

In a blink of an eye, the commando rushed forward several tens of meters.

Until another Type [-] heavy machine gun blocked the way.

"Pillar? Pillar?!" Li Yunlong yelled again.

"Wang Chengzhu, where did you go? Get out of here!"

Wang Chengzhu, who had just transferred to another position and fired a cannon, ran over in a hurry.

Wang Chengzhu ran while carrying a 20-kilogram mortar, and scolded with a dark face: "Damn, with such a method, even if I don't get killed by the devil's revenge fire, I will run to death sooner or later."

It's all about scolding, but Wang Chengzhu's shooting effect is surprisingly good.

Soon another heavy machine gun firepower point of the devil was killed.

Li Yunlong led the assault team to rush forward again.

Having artillery to support firepower is arrogance.

……

In Taiyuan, the 1st Army Command.

Ten minutes passed.

While speaking, another communication staff officer came out of the communication room quickly and handed a telegram to Yasushi Inoue.

Yasushi Inoue's expression changed immediately after reading it, and he said to Shinozuka Yoshio: "Your Excellency, Commander, Tsuda Detachment urgently called, their first line of defense has been lost!"

"Nani? It's only a few minutes!"

"The first line of defense fell so soon?"

"When did the Eighth Route Army's offensive capabilities become so powerful?"

Hearing this, the expressions of more than a dozen staff officers in the combat hall suddenly changed.

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression darkened too. Fortunately, he dispatched 6 sweeping detachments to go there.

If only three mopping-up detachments were dispatched, maybe the same mistakes as Tabemi, Ogasawara, and Sasaki detachment would happen again!so close!

Mizuhara Takuya turned his head to Sakamoto Ryuichi and said, "Sakamoto-kun, what else do you have to say?"

At this moment, Ryuichi Sakamoto was finally completely shaken, and said with some reluctance: "The Eighth Route Army's offensive is so fierce, which shows that it is undoubtedly the main force of the Eighth Route Army. It seems that my previous judgment was indeed wrong."

Speaking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto paused again to Yoshio Shinozuka and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I apologize for my ignorance and offense."

"never mind."

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said generously, "It's just a trivial matter."

Although Shinozuka Yoshio talked about trivial things, he was still very happy in his heart. Sakamoto was so stubborn, didn't he also convince him in the end?

At this time, another communications soldier came out.

The report said: "Your Excellency, the Tsuda Detachment has an urgent call."

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't want to read the telegram, so he waved his hand violently and said, "Read."

"Hayi!" The communication soldier paused, and immediately read the telegram, "The headquarters of the 1st Army and the headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division: The offensive of the Eighth Route Army was unexpectedly fierce, and it took less than half an hour to break through. The outer line of defense of our detachment, the second line of defense is also in jeopardy, so we request emergency support from the 2nd Guards Division."

"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face collapsed.

"It seems that Jinnan's life is too comfortable, and the idiots of the 237th Infantry Regiment have been raised and disabled."

"In less than half an hour, the Eighth Route Army broke through the outer defense line, and they still have the face to ask for help from the 2nd Guards Division. Why don't they die?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was really angry.

Because the performance of the Tsuda detachment is really bad.

You know, the Tsuda detachment has six infantry brigades and six mountain artillery squadrons.

Although the Eighth Route Army has more than 8 regiments and more people than the Jintian Detachment, the artillery firepower of the Jintian Detachment crushed the Eighth Route Army's small-caliber curved artillery, which shouldn't be the case.

At this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto persuaded instead: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is not surprising that the Tsuda detachment has such a poor performance, is it?"

"After all, what they faced in the southern Shanxi battlefield was the Central Army of China."

"What kind of people is the Central Army of China? Don't you, Commander, and the gentlemen still not know?"
