I am a wolf warrior

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said, "Boss, the Northwest Shanxi campaign should not be a big problem."

The boss waved his hand and said: "Although that is the case, but the battle is not over for a day, and my heart is always hanging in the air, and I can't get down to the ground."

While talking, a messenger walked in.

"Boss, there is an urgent call from the Taihang Military Region." The communications soldier said, "The No. 30 Sixth Division of the Japanese Army transferred an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion from Changzhi last night to strengthen the offensive."

When the boss and the deputy chief of staff heard the words, their expressions immediately froze.

After pondering for a moment, the boss said decisively: "Call the Taihang Military Region, immediately mobilize local armed forces and militias, and launch extensive guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare. In a word, stop the enemy's reinforcements at all costs!"

"Yes!" The communication soldier agreed, and hurried back to the communication room.

The deputy chief of staff was silent for a moment and then said: "Boss, do you want to urge the Shanxi Northwest Column? Tell them to speed up their offensive rhythm appropriately?"

"No, no matter how difficult our side is, how can we still have difficulties with the Shanxi Northwest Column?"

The boss waved his hand and said: "This battle is very important to our Eighth Route Army and even the entire Chinese War of Resistance. Let them fight step by step according to the original plan."

The deputy chief of staff was silent.

……

"idiot!"

"waste!"

"big eater!"

"A bunch of rice buckets!"

Yoshimoto Teiichi was furious at the headquarters in Taiyuan.

The reason why Yoshimoto Zhenichi was so angry is also very simple, that is, the 36th and 37th divisions have been unable to break through the blocking of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang and Taiyue districts.

The northward reinforcement troops of the two divisions attacked fiercely for two days and nights, but they only advanced less than [-] kilometers.

Yoshimoto Teiichi really didn't know what to say, but in a few years, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army has weakened to this extent?

Jiro Sakuma, head of the intelligence section, said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the 36th Division and the 37th Division should really rectify their military discipline. According to the information that our intelligence section has, these two divisions have been stationed in Jinnan, from the officers to the soldiers, has been severely corrupted by the local Imperial Association Army and the detective team.”

"Is there such a thing?" Yoshimoto Sadaichi couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words.

"Yes." Sakuma Jiro said, "From officers to soldiers, these two divisions often go to local restaurants, restaurants, casinos, brothels, and even opium halls. Many imperial soldiers have become addicted to gambling and smoking, and even A large number of soldiers contracted venereal diseases, suffering from the onset of the virus, which has seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"Bagayalu!" Yoshimoto Zhenda said angrily, "This is really a bunch of idiots!"

Speaking of this meal, Yoshimoto Teiichi gritted his teeth again and said, "What are these two idiots, Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio, doing? How can such a serious problem not be rectified?"

Mizuhara Takuya said: "Your Excellency, the main reason is that there is no time to rectify."

"No time?" Yoshimoto Zhenichi said with a muffled snort, "When this battle is over, we must rectify the military discipline of these two divisions. It's really shameful! If we continue to let the situation continue, this The combat effectiveness of the two divisions will be on par with the Imperial Association Army!"

Yoshimoto Teiichi's words are true.

While talking, a communications staff officer hurried in.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The communications staff reported after a pause, "The fourth brigade is urgent!"

"An urgent call from the Fourth Brigade?" Yoshimoto Sadaichi's heart trembled suddenly, and he instinctively had an ominous premonition.

Then this premonition soon became a reality, and the communications staff officer went on to say: "Ambush the Fourth Brigade in Shazhukou is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. Not only have tens of thousands of troops, but also heavy artillery units and The cavalry unit, the two infantry brigades of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, suffered heavy losses in the first round of the Eighth Route Army's offensive, and only a small number of remnants joined the brigade headquarters and the regiment headquarters, and are currently in a bitter battle .”

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi?" Yoshimoto Zhenyi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Damn it, isn't the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi still besieging Anhua? Why did it appear at the slaughterhouse fifty kilometers away?"

Jiro Sakuma said with a dark face: "The 69th Division was obviously deceived by the Eighth Route Army. Those who stayed in Anhua were only partial divisions of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. Their main force had already gone south secretly."

"Baga Yalu!" Yoshimoto Sadaichi said angrily, "Isn't this harmful?"

If there is no news from the 69th Division that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is still in Anhua, then Yoshimoto Zhenichi will not urge the reinforcements of the Fourth Brigade to make great strides northward for reinforcements. It won't be so easy to step into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. This idiot Inoue Sadae is very harmful!

Masao Inamori said: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to transfer another brigade from the 22nd Regiment to go north?"

"A brigade?" Yoshimoto Zhenichi asked with a dark face, "Do you think it would be useful to deploy an infantry brigade?"

Masao Inamori immediately fell silent when he heard the words, not to mention the transfer of an infantry brigade, even if the entire 22nd Regiment was transferred to Shazhukou, I am afraid that they would not be able to save them back to the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade.

There is no doubt that the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade is over.

"Damn it!" Yoshimoto Sadaichi said bitterly, "These bastards really know how to run!"

After this battle, Yoshimoto Zhenichi had a new understanding of the ability of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi and even the entire Shanxi Province to march and continuously fight.

Just then, another communications staff officer walked in.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The communications staff paused and said, "The 11th Infantry Regiment urgently calls!"

"Emergency call from the 11th Regiment?" Yoshimoto Sadaichi lost his voice, "Has the 11th Infantry Regiment also encountered trouble?"

"Yes." The Communications Staff Officer said, "The rear guard and supply units of the 11th Infantry Regiment were severely damaged, and the main force of the regiment that had passed through Yezhugou was forced to return to help and was fighting hard against the 94th Brigade of the Chinese Central Army. "

"How could this be?" Yoshimoto Sadaichi said with a frown, "It shouldn't be. It was the 11th Brigade of the Chinese Central Army that blocked the 94th Infantry Regiment in Yezhugou. How could the Chinese Central Army have any combat power at all? How dare a brigade engage in positional warfare with an infantry regiment of the imperial army? This is simply unimaginable!"

Jiro Sakuma and the other section leaders were silent, they didn't know what happened.

Because logically speaking, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army can definitely easily defeat a division of the national army in a field battle, let alone a brigade, but now the 11th infantry regiment that is going south from Datong for reinforcements only faces A brigade actually fell into a bitter battle?what on earth is it?

Could it be that the 26th Division has also been corrupted?

……

"Traveler, look, the [-]-style mountain cannon!"

Liang Jun led the mule and reported excitedly.

In the battle just now, the main force of the 94th Brigade was divided into two groups. One regiment was responsible for blocking the Japanese army turning north, and the other two regiments concentrated all their forces to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese rearguard.

It has to be said that the 94th Brigade of the Central Army's Independent Brigade was really lucky this time.

Because the Fourth Brigade suffered several losses under the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it became very cautious. When marching, it placed the two infantry brigades in the front and back, like two bearers carrying the brigade headquarters and the baggage unit in the middle. It can ensure the safety of the brigade headquarters and supply troops as much as possible.

However, because the 11th Infantry Regiment was stationed in Datong all year round, except for occasional battles with the Sui Army, it rarely dealt with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, let alone suffered losses, so its vigilance was not high.

Therefore, when the 11th Infantry Regiment was marching, the three infantry brigades were in front, and the regiment headquarters, mountain artillery brigade, and supply brigade followed.

Then the Central Army's 94th Brigade alone attacked the rear guard of the Japanese army.

The rear guard of the Japanese army was roughly divided into three sections, from front to back were the headquarters of the 11th Regiment, the supply brigade, and the mountain artillery brigade, and because of the long march, they were somewhat out of touch with each other.

Therefore, after the surprise attack by the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, the headquarters of the 11th Regiment was able to respond quickly and seize the commanding heights on both sides of the road to resist stubbornly. Time was wiped out by the Central Army.

So the materials carried by the army and the 12 [-]-type mountain cannons became the spoils of the Central Army.

Liang Gang's eyes fell on the back of the big mule led by Liang Jun, and he saw that it was indeed carrying a gun barrel, judging from the caliber, it should be a 75mm gun.

75mm caliber, and can be disassembled to be carried by mules and horses on the march,

That is probably the Type 75 [-]mm caliber mountain gun of Little Japan.

This kind of mountain gun is not comparable to the American M1A1 75mm mountain gun in terms of range or accuracy, but it is still a rare battlefield weapon for the 94th Brigade, which is seriously lacking in heavy weapons.

Especially for the battle in front of us, it is simply a decisive strategic weapon.

"Quick, hurry up and call Deputy Chief of Staff Guo!" Liang Gang said, "He can return to his old job of artillery."

Guo Guanying, the deputy chief of staff of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, was originally the platoon leader of a Krupp mountain artillery platoon directly under the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. He participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Lanfeng. An old artilleryman with extremely rich battlefield experience.

Soon, Guo Guanying arrived upon hearing the news.

Guo Guanying's eyes lit up when he saw the parts of the Type [-] mountain cannon carried on the mules and horses.

"Type 75 [-]mm caliber mountain gun?!" Guo Guanying said happily, "Travel seat, good stuff!"

"Then don't stand still." Liang Gang said, "Hurry up and gather all the brothers who can shoot cannons, and then assemble these 12 [-]-style mountain cannons, and then blast these bastards to death for me!"

"Yes!" Guo Guanying responded abruptly, "It will be ready soon!"

The next moment, Guo Guanying roared hoarsely.

"Every brother who can fuck, come here, brother who can fuck!"

Many officers from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps are more or less able to use artillery.

Soon, dozens of officers or key veterans gathered around Guo Guanying.

Liang Jun also led the Jiaolong Squadron to assist Guo Guanying and the others in unloading the mountain cannon parts and began to assemble them.

In less than half an hour, 12 Type 75 [-]mm caliber mountain guns were assembled and lined up in a row, with the muzzles of the black holes pointing at the battlefield ahead.

……

The Yezhugou side is still fighting fiercely, but the Killing Zhukou side has come to an end.

It is necessary to explain here that the 3rd Brigade and the 4th Brigade are not actually infantry brigades under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Army Division, but independent mixed brigades.

It is simply referred to as the 3rd Brigade, 4th Brigade, etc.

For the same reason, the 4rd Infantry Wing and the 3nd Infantry Wing under the 22th Brigade are not the Army's organic infantry wing, but an independent infantry wing, just called the X Wing for short.

This time going north to reinforce Anhua, Nakajima Tokutaro only brought two brigades of the 3rd Regiment.

In addition, there are several units directly under the 4th Brigade, such as the supply team, the engineering team, the search team, an independent mountain artillery brigade, and the medical team.

After the march of the 4th Brigade entered the slaughterhouse,

The Shanxi Northwest Column of the Eighth Route Army immediately passed the concentrated fire of the artillery regiment and severely damaged the infantry brigade behind it.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry regiment was dispatched to attack from behind, disabled another brigade that had hurriedly returned to aid, and then concentrated its forces to launch a strong attack on the headquarters of the 4th Brigade.

By this time, there was no suspense in the battle.

There were more than 2000 devils, most of whom were technical arms, and they were distributed in a narrow valley with a length of more than 1000 meters. It was difficult to organize effective resistance to the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushing down the slopes on both sides.

In less than half an hour, the headquarters of the 4th Brigade was divided into more than a dozen small units by the Eighth Route Army.

These dozens of small troops either occupied a hill, or controlled one or two earthen artillery, and fell into a desperate situation of fighting on their own, including Tokutaro Nakajima's brigade headquarters.

Together with Tokutaro Nakajima's brigade headquarters, there is also the regiment headquarters of the 3rd Regiment.

Araki Ichiro, the captain of the 3rd Regiment, is already burning the regiment flag. Although they are not an organic regiment of the army, but only an independent infantry regiment, they also have the regiment flag bestowed by the Emperor.

After burning the alliance flag, Ichiro Araki said to Tokutaro Nakajima: "Brigade Commander, let's break out!"

The current situation is already obvious, and if he sticks to this small soil bag, he will only have a dead end, and there may be a glimmer of life only if he breaks through.

"Okay, then prepare to break through."

Nakajima Tokutaro decisively adopted Araki Ichiro's suggestion.

He turned back and said to the communications captain: "Kun Takamori, call the headquarters immediately, and say that our 4th Brigade Headquarters and the 3rd Wing Headquarters have decided to break through! If you haven't contacted the headquarters after 5 minutes, it means The 4th Brigade has more than [-] imperial soldiers below me, all of which have been collectively broken."

"Hayi!" The communication captain paused.

Nakajima Tokutaro immediately drew his saber.

"Command, target safety, move forward!"

The old devil is really a top iron, even if he breaks out, he must break out in the direction of Anhua.

At the order of Tokutaro Nakajima, the last remaining 200 devils from the brigade headquarters and the alliance headquarters immediately rushed down from the hill and launched a fierce counterattack.

Ichiro Araki rushed first with a saber in his right hand and a southern style pistol in his left.

However, before Ichiro Araki rushed to the foot of Xiaoshanbao, the bullets from the machine gun rushed over, smashing the old devil's body into a broken sieve.

Araki Ichiro's body turned violently in the air, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.

Araki Ichiro's death did not affect the devils behind. Including the old devil Tokutaro Nakajima, more than 200 devils were still rushing down from the dirt bag.

The machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army continued to pour in violently.

The devils who followed Tokutaro Nakajima's charge fell down row by row.

In a blink of an eye, more than 200 devils were killed and injured.

Including Tokutaro Nakajima, the old devil was shot more than a dozen times in the chest, and his whole body was stained red with blood. As he was dying, the old devil still struggled to turn his eyes to the east and cast a last glance.

finished?China has not yet been conquered, it is really reconciled.

……

Taiyuan.

Yasushi Inoue walked into the war room with a dark face, and reported with a sudden pause: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Hiroshi Takamori, the captain of the communication team directly under the 4th Brigade, has just sent a telegram. General Nakajima has led the headquarters of the 4th Brigade and the 3rd regiment. More than [-] imperial soldiers from the headquarters launched a desperate counterattack against the Eighth Route Army."

Hearing this, the entire war room suddenly fell into dead silence.

Because everyone is very clear, what does the 4th Brigade's desperate counterattack mean?
