"Yes! Sir!!" The surrounding officers and soldiers responded, and at the same time, his staff adjutant had already rushed to notify the leaders of each company.
Looking at the ruins around him, Lu Shaojie suddenly felt a strong sense of confidence, because within twenty minutes, they broke through the position where a Japanese squadron was stationed, and the casualties they paid were extremely light.
Of course, the light casualties are inseparable from the scheduled attack time, because at this time, most of the Japanese troops were having breakfast and waited until 7:30 to gather for exercises. Because of the cold weather, most of them were hiding in Having breakfast in the gun towers and bunkers, only a small number of Japanese troops were on duty in the positions.
The powerful power of the thunder cannon blew up the turrets and bunkers, and naturally the Japanese troops were not immune. Therefore, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment, in collaboration with the 1st Thunder Cannon Detachment, destroyed all the enemy troops in just twenty minutes. Annihilated.
Similar situations were happening around the town of Jiankou. The Japanese army's carelessness ultimately cost them a heavy price. However, they could not figure out why these poorly equipped Chinese troops had such powerful weapons. Their turrets and bunkers made of steel and cement could be blown down.
Of course, this problem that they cannot figure out in this life can only be figured out in their next life.
The smooth advancement of each unit was not only beyond the expectations of each unit, but also beyond Zhang Tianhai's expectation. Seeing this situation, Zhang Tianhai did not hesitate and directly ordered the troops to carry out the next stage of operations.
As for the action of cleaning the battlefield, naturally it can only be left to the follow-up troops. For Zhang Tianhai, what he needs is the speed of the soldiers. The battle must be completed before the Japanese army can react. It is best not even the Japanese aircraft can react. Case completed!
Under Zhang Tianhai's strict order, various troops quickly marched towards Juankou Town.
At this moment, Masahiro Xiongwu finally confirmed that all seven squadrons of his peripheral troops had lost contact. In other words, excluding the logistics troops, in just half an hour, the 45th The alliance is already facing the embarrassing situation of losing more than half of its troops.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, what should we do? Should we report this to the brigade commander?" Mikami Shimizu reminded Xiong Takemasauro.
"Immediately report to the brigade commander that we have encountered a sneak attack by the absolute ace of the China Army. We have already lost more than half! In addition, immediately order all units to enter their predetermined positions according to the previously formulated plan!" Xiong Wu Zhenglang is still sober. He also knows that if If we don't deploy defenses quickly now, let alone whether we can keep our position as captain after the war, we may be dead in half a day.
"Hai!!" After receiving the order, Chief of Staff Shimizu Mikami immediately began to take action, because he knew very well that the current situation was already very critical.
Since most of the main troops of the 45th Regiment of the Japanese Army are stationed next to the main town of Jiankou Town, and most of the troops of the 6th Division are veterans, especially the 45th Regiment, the veterans of this unit It is the largest number, so these troops have already begun to enter the positions, bunkers, and artillery towers according to the previously formulated defense plan. They want to form a fierce and dense firepower network to defend Jiankou Town!
"The first unit is ready!"
"Second unit, ready!"
…
With the reports one after another, Xiong Wu Zhenglang finally felt half relieved. After all, the troops were ready and they could hold on for a while. Under normal circumstances, they could at least stay for one day and one night. By then, the division would Aren’t the reinforcements from the regiment headquarters coming yet?
"It must be a very ridiculous thing for the Chinese Army to lose contact with all seven of our squadrons in a short period of time. It must be because they cut our phone lines short, that must be the case!" Masahiro Xiongwu comforted himself. , he believed that since he had been having good luck since he came to the Chinese battlefield, he must be lucky this time as well.
With this fantasy, Xiong Wuzhenglang climbed to the commanding heights of Jiankou Town - the highest house on the outskirts of Jiankou Town!
…
At this moment, the headquarters of the Sixth Division, far away in Yueyang County, finally received a telegram from the 45th Regiment requesting assistance on the front line. This telegram was forwarded from the headquarters of the 36th Brigade.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, there is an emergency in Jiankou Town. The commander of the 45th Regiment, Masarou Xiong, is sending an urgent call!" A major knocked on the door of Shiro Inaba's office and then reported.
At this time, Inaba Shiro was reviewing an official document. After hearing the news, he gently raised his head and said, "Bring it in!"
"Hai!" the major responded.
I saw that Inaba Shiro looked about forty years old. It may be because he was born in the cavalry, so his body was very strong, which made him look exceptionally young.
Well, Inaba Shiro is fifty-three years old this year. It can be seen from his appearance that he was a handsome man when he was young.
After receiving the order, the Major strode to Inaba Shiro, handed the telegram translation in his hand to the latter, and reported at the same time: "His Excellency, the commander of the division, Colonel Kumatake Masaro has called to say that the 45th Regiment We were attacked by the absolute elite of the China Army and suffered heavy casualties. More than half of them have been killed or injured. Please give us tactical guidance!"
Quiet, quiet, as quiet as a cicada.
The atmosphere in the division commander's office suddenly became very heavy and depressing, so cold it was almost condensation.
"Pah!!" Inaba Shiro slapped the table hard, and the sound was unusually loud.
"Baga! How did this guy Xiong Wu Zhenglang defend Jiankou Town! It is impossible for the Chinese Army to have such a large-scale artillery group!" Inaba Shiro cursed fiercely. At this time, he had already read the contents of the telegram translation. It's over.
Obviously, this sudden news completely ruined Inaba Shiro's mood early in the morning.
The mood was bad, but the butt that needed to be wiped still had to be wiped, and Shiro Inaba also believed that Masashiro Kumatake's ability could not have poor military quality. Just look at the illustrious military exploits he had made before.
Inaba Shiro took a deep breath, and then said: "Order, the 47th Infantry Regiment, the 13th Regiment, the 6th Cavalry Regiment, rush south for reinforcements, and the 6th Engineer Regiment and Artillery Regiment guard Yueyang County. . Notify the aircraft unit to immediately support the 45th Regiment in its operations! The 23rd Infantry Regiment has entered combat readiness and will support the 45th Regiment at any time!"
"Hai!!" Major responded and immediately left Inaba Shiro's office.
Looking at the back of the major as he left, Inaba Shiro sighed softly. He had mobilized all the troops he could mobilize. The infantry troops alone had mobilized 7,600 people. Including the cavalry troops, there were already tens of thousands. The personnel took action. This was a major military operation.
All in all, Inaba Shiro must not let his troops be wiped out by the enemy under his nose. He must do his best to save the 45th Regiment!
