"Yes, company commander!" the platoon commanders nearby responded.
"Act now!" Liu Houming said bitterly. If he had known earlier, he should have applied to the regiment to bring over the mortar company.
…
Yamanaka Zangji was an ordinary squadron leader of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. Like most Japanese officers and soldiers, he was full of fear in his heart, but he could not show it because he was the squadron leader.
Different from the composition of the officers and soldiers below, Zangji Yamanaka is an elite member of the original left-behind troops of the Sixth Division, while most of the officers and soldiers below are recruited from reserve officers and soldiers in the society-the combat effectiveness is not the same. .
The location where the Yamanaka Squadron is now is not generally dangerous. Yamanaka Zangji also knows that if a war breaks out, this place will be very troublesome. They will be the first to be taken away.
From a strategic position point of view, Beitianpu was originally the outer position of Nantianpu. Its removal could only serve as a wake-up call for the large forces in Nantianpu.
Zangji Yamanaka did not dare to have any objections to the arrangement of the regiment leader's mountain tank - one level of the official level would kill someone, let alone two levels of it?
Therefore, even though he had many complaints in his heart, Yamanaka Zangji could only go north with the second squadron, which was already incomplete.
Yes, Yamanaka Zangji’s second squadron was also crippled in previous battles, but his squadron suffered relatively small losses - they only lost about 40 people, which means there are only 140 Personally.
In order to ensure the defense and security of the village center, Yamazaka Zangji chose to arrange strongholds in the four corners of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, with about twenty people placed at each stronghold. This deployment of troops can ensure that the stronghold has a certain combat effectiveness. , and also has the ability to protect itself. Otherwise, if it is released like this, it will kill the enemy on the opposite side.
Eighty or ninety officers and soldiers were placed at the four corners, and there were only fifty or sixty people left in the city.
What does an army of fifty or sixty people mean in front of a war machine? If we spread out further, there would be no one left!
Therefore, in this case, Yamanaka Zangji can only form two patrol teams, each team has eight people; there are also eight people who observe the situation in the corners of the village (two in each corner), and the rest of the soldiers are concentrated Get up and support other corners of the battle at any time.
Perhaps because of panic, Yamanaka Zangji also made a decision, that is, when any corner is attacked by a large enemy force, troops from other corners must immediately enter the village and engage in a decisive battle with the enemy!
Hiding in the headquarters in the village, looking at the thirty people outside, Yamanaka Zangji couldn't help but frown slightly: just these few people are not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.
At this moment, the battle outside the village started.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
A burst of dense explosions came from the northeast and northwest corners respectively. Such dense explosions made Zangji Yamanaka feel frightened: This unusual Chinese army has the firepower, or it is the Chinese army. The main force of the Central Army, otherwise it is absolutely elite!
But in Yamanaka Zangji's understanding, the latter possibility is very slim, and that is the former possibility.
Thinking of this, Yamanaka Zangji panicked. He immediately said to the soldiers around him: "Send a report to the captain immediately and tell them that we have been attacked by the absolute main force of the China Army! Request immediate support!"
Yes, from Yamanaka Zangji's point of view, they were attacked by the enemy's main force. How could ordinary troops have such intensive firepower?
"Hai!" the telegraph operator next to him shouted.
As for the reason why they had to send the telegram so quickly, it was also very simple, because the enemy would attack soon, and it was very likely that their telegram for support would not be sent yet!
The ancients said that death may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. It’s nothing more than the word “value”.
Yamanaka Zangji believed that even if all of his squadron died in battle, he still had to complete the mission and die in a worthwhile way.
No matter who it is, the only value of garrisoning Beitianpu is to report to the coalition headquarters in Nantianpu.
But what the mountain police station never expected was that this intensive burst of gunfire only lasted for a while and then stopped.
A Japanese soldier ran outside and reported: "Reporting to your Excellency, squadron leader, all the northeastern strongholds of our outer strongholds were 'broken'! After annihilating the defenders of our strongholds, the enemy troops all retreated and no further action was taken!"
Just after the Japanese soldier finished his report, another Japanese soldier who was running out of breath also ran in. He reported: "Reporting to your Excellency, the squadron leader, all the defenders of the northwest stronghold of our peripheral stronghold were 'broken into pieces'. The defenders No one survived. But after the enemy troops annihilated our defenders, they immediately retreated without taking the next step!"
"Nani?! What on earth do these damn Chinese people want to do?!" Yamanaka Zangji was angry, but he had no choice, because the initiative was in the hands of the enemy, not in the hands of their second squadron!
"Hai!!" The two Japanese soldiers in front of them didn't know what the squadron leader wanted to do, so they could only lower their heads in response.
"Tell me now, how did the enemy annihilate our defenders?! Hurry!!" Zangji Yamanaka roared, and at the same time, a chill rose in his heart. He always felt that the enemy on the opposite side was like a cunning bird. Like an old cat, they want to play with them but are not eager to annihilate them. The enemy seems to want to use them to achieve some goals, but they don't know what these enemies want to do.
Does the enemy want to play psychological warfare? As it is said in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, go up to attack the enemy, and go down to attack the city? When he thought of this, Yamanaka Zangji felt even colder.
"Report to the squadron leader, our enemies have very strong firepower, with at least fifteen grenade launchers, and more than a dozen light machine guns. They moved very quickly and wiped out our defenders in a short time. , our people didn't even have time to fight back!" One of the Japanese soldiers said.
"Yes! It was the same on the first day we encountered them. Their number was not large, probably around a hundred or so, but their weapons were so sophisticated and they were proficient in using grenades. We don't have them on our mobile phones. We fought back and were annihilated by the enemy! Our enemies are very terrifying!" Another Japanese soldier said.
"Koizumi-kun! Report this situation to the captain immediately and ask the captain to make a decision!" Yamanaka Zangji said to the telegraph operator next to him.
"Hai!!" the telegraph operator responded.
