Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Chapter 224 8 Ga, who told you to rush in!

Before the Japanese 22nd Infantry Regiment took action, Koizumi asked, "Have you contacted the th Brigade?"

"not yet."

The signalman shook his head and said, "So far, we have not been able to establish contact with the 7th Brigade."

He originally wanted to contact the 7th Brigade and inform Kawashita Hide of his rescue plan, but he was unable to get in touch, and Koizumi did not dare to delay any further.

"Forget it, order the troops to charge at full speed!"

"Hi Yi!"

Koizumi's order was given, and a regiment of Japanese soldiers roared and shouted as they charged at full speed.

When they were about two kilometers away from the battlefield, howitzers fell from the sky and blew the Japanese soldiers and horses to pieces.

A howitzer shell landed in the middle of the Japanese army, helping the Japanese to stage a center-blooming drama.

Koizumi rode his horse faster than others and was able to avoid the bombardment of the howitzer.

It was indeed advantageous for the team to be lightly equipped. After only two rounds of bombing, the team rushed to the battlefield.

When Koizumi found Kawashita Hide, he discovered that there was no cavalry on the battlefield.

In other words, his plan failed.

"Koizumi-kun?"

Kawashita Hide looked at this old acquaintance who had rushed into the battlefield in astonishment, and his expression quickly changed: "Baga! You idiot, who told you to rush in!?"

"what?"

At this moment, Jiro Koizumi was still confused, and was still thinking about the cavalry in his mind. Where did the cavalry go?

So he didn't listen to what Kawashita Hide said at all, and kept looking around, trying to find the cavalry team.

"Brigade Commander, where is the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment?"

After searching in vain, Koizumi Jiro then asked, "The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment is one step ahead of us, why haven't they appeared on the battlefield yet?"

"idiot!"

Kawashima Hide couldn't help himself and slapped Koizumi hard in the face: "The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment has already attacked the right wing of the Eighth Route Army according to my order. The cavalry didn't even rush into the front battlefield!"

"Why didn't you contact me first?"

"Do you know? Because of your stupidity, I am still trapped here and may die at any time!"

After hearing what Kawashita Hide said, Koizumi Jiro felt like the sky had fallen. The cavalry did not rush in, and now not only was he unable to rescue the brigade commander, but he also got himself involved.

"This……"

"Commander, where are the troops of the Ninth Brigade? Why haven't they been able to capture the high ground on the Eighth Route Army's left flank?"

"idiot!"

Kawashita Hide slapped him again. He got angry whenever he mentioned this matter. He couldn't understand why a regiment of troops could not break through the weakly defended left-wing heights.

Ming Jingye is an old acquaintance of his, and his combat command ability is not inferior to his. Kawashita Hide just can't understand where the Eighth Route Army got such powerful firepower.

In previous battles, the team may have suffered some losses, but it would never have fallen into the current situation.

Because the Eighth Route Army troops were often forced to retreat due to lack of personnel or ammunition.

But the situation is completely different now. Not only is the Eighth Route Army not short of ammunition, but its firepower is becoming stronger and stronger.

Previously, when a small group of troops were sent to consume the enemy, the Eighth Route Army would cooperate and use light and heavy machine guns to deal with them. But now it is different. They simply use mortars to solve the problem.

As a result, Kawashita Hide doesn't dare to send anyone to test the waters anymore, nor does he dare to take any unnecessary action.

Behind the bunkers piled with corpses was a mixed group of the 7th and 9th Brigades, exhausted and terrified.

Oh, by the way, there is now an additional Japanese 22nd Infantry Regiment.

Kawashita Hide didn't know why the Eighth Route Army didn't attack them, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to wipe them out.

The current situation is that retreat is impossible, and victory is even more impossible.

As soon as they got in touch with the 9th Brigade, Ming Jingye told Kawashita Hide that their situation was not optimistic. They had launched no less than ten group assaults, lost two-thirds of their troops, and had not even entered the Eighth Route Army's position.

This situation was like a bolt from the blue in Kawashita Hide's mind. The 9th Brigade had lost two-thirds of its troops, so it was even more impossible to occupy the high ground on the left wing.

The plan of relying on Ming Jingye to break the current predicament has all gone to waste.

The 22nd Infantry Regiment, which had finally arrived, rushed in like a bunch of idiots...

The more Kawashita Hide thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at Jiro Koizumi who was still in shock, he raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face again.

"You stupid pig!"

If Jiro Koizumi had not rushed in, and cooperated with the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment, even if he could not seize the high ground on the right wing, he could have cooperated with the 9th Brigade to seize the high ground on the left wing.

result……

"idiot!"

After being slapped twice in a row, Jiro Koizumi learned his lesson this time and moved his body back to make sure he would not be slapped in the face again for no reason.

The rest of the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and Kawashita Hide knows very well why. Now he is the only one who can save him.

After much deliberation, Kawashita Hide ordered Koizumi Jiro: "Send out your troops and attack the Eighth Route Army's positions with all your strength!"

"Your team rushed in at full speed. The mortars and heavy machine guns must have been intact. They are important firepower for our counterattack. Deploy them immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Koizumi Jiro was petrified and stammered, "Brigade Commander, the troops are charging lightly, so before the charge, I ordered all the heavy loads to be thrown away, including rations, canteens, ammunition, mortars, heavy machine guns, etc."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the mortar..."

Kawashita Hide looked at Koizumi Jiro in disbelief: "What? You threw away the mortar and heavy machine gun?"

"Yes, it is!"

"idiot!"

Chuan Xiaxiu was so angry that he took out his gun and shot the idiot without saying a word.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it, and he slumped to the ground and said, "First, you took the initiative to abandon your heavy firepower equipment, and then rushed into the battlefield like a fool. Koizumi-kun, you..."

At the end of the conversation, Kawashita Hide couldn't find the words to describe it. All he wanted to say turned into a sigh.

If he didn't still need the other party to complete the task, Kawashita Hide would definitely shoot Koizumi Jiro.

Following Kawashita Hide's order, Koizumi Jiro led the 22nd Regiment of the Japanese to launch a charge. The Japanese concentrated their firepower to attack one point and successfully suppressed the soldiers of the New st Regiment with firepower.

However, it was all in vain.

As the Japanese were getting very close to their position, all their efforts were destroyed by the sudden artillery fire.

Not only were the charging troops bombarded by artillery fire, but the Japanese soldiers who were suppressing the enemy with firepower in the rear were also bombarded, and even more fiercely.

Hide Kawashita was protected by several Japanese soldiers and was saved from death by artillery fire.

But the radio operator and his radio were blown to pieces.

Jiro Koizumi and most of the Japanese soldiers in the 22nd Regiment became a pile of corpses on the battlefield.

Another failure seemed to make Hide Kawashita realize the reality that it was impossible to escape from the predicament.

The gunshots gradually subsided, and a white flag slowly rose and waved in the air at the location where Kawashita Hide was.

"Look, the Japs are raising the white flag! They're surrendering!"
