Chapter 1007 Kiyoshi Kazuki: "I really can't figure it out."
That's impossible.
That's probably impossible.
Even in the event of an emergency, things shouldn't be this chaotic.
"Let's send a reconnaissance plane to investigate."
buzzing...
The roar in the air made Togo Heiichiro, who was on his way, smile after signaling the driver to stop.
General Xiangyue is reliable. Sure enough, not long after I sent out my telegram, the air force was dispatched.
After getting out of the car, he raised his binoculars and looked over.
"No." Seemingly realizing he had misread it, Togo Heiichiro paused for a moment before looking into the distance again through his binoculars; "How come it's a reconnaissance plane?"
what……
Can anyone tell him why it has to be a reconnaissance plane? He doesn't want reconnaissance planes; he wants bombers and fighters to help the Nakamura Brigade quickly defeat the enemy's Tang Army and buy time for his own breakout.
Why, why was a reconnaissance plane deployed?
"Baka! Where are our bombers?"
Togo Heiichiro's eyes widened as he surveyed the entire sky.
No, only reconnaissance planes are circling overhead.
"Division Commander, they...they don't think we're lying, do they?"
Damn it.
If that's the case, then it's just a waste of time.
Heiichiro Togo was so startled that he almost dropped his binoculars.
No... I don't believe it.
This... this is going to kill me!
“Division Commander.” A cavalryman quickly approached her; “Reports from the rear observation post indicate that the enemy has broken through our intercepting forces, and an enemy regiment plus a battalion of tanks is rapidly advancing toward us.”
"Nani."
Heiichiro Togo frowned and asked, "How is that possible?"
It's a large brigade, after all.
That was a large battalion, and they occupied advantageous terrain. In order to allow them to hold off the enemy for a longer period of time, we equipped them with mortars and two field guns.
No matter how you look at it, it should be able to hold off the opponent for at least half a day.
Can anyone tell him why they were defeated in just over an hour?
"They used poison gas," the cavalryman stammered.
Speechless.
After a moment of silence, Togo Heiichiro said nothing, but turned to the communications officer and said, "Send a telegram to General Kazuki. The enemy has used poison gas and has broken through our defenses. Request air support immediately."
What the hell is going on? They still don't believe what they're saying. What exactly are they trying to do? Do they think I could lie to them?
I've already said it, I need to break through, I really need to break through.
The continuous telegram communication led the Independent Brigade Command to intercept the signal.
The two telegrams were sent at similar frequencies, leading the Telecommunications Department to believe that they might be very important intelligence. Therefore, the Telecommunications Department immediately invited Asaka Hideaki and Nanzo Akiko to participate in the decryption.
Nanzo Akiko was a talent in codebreaking, and with Asaka Shurei by her side, the complete telegram was delivered to Zhou Weiguo in less than half an hour.
After reading the telegram, Zhou Weiguo put it aside. "Poor man, Togo Heiichiro's telegram for help was actually thought to be a joke."
Takeshita Shun leaned against the bunker doorway, lit a cigarette, and chuckled, "Isn't this normal? After all, the other side is a division."
One division could attack about three or four corps on this side.
They had their defenses in place around Xiaoniuzhuang, but you managed to breach their line in no time.
Who would believe that?
No one would believe that.
Zhou Weiguo thought about it and agreed that it made sense. After walking around with his hands behind his back, he said, "Slow down the Second Regiment."
Sitting next to her, Xiao Ya looked up and asked, "Awen, why did you make the second regiment slow down?"
The 2nd Regiment, supported by tanks, is currently pursuing the 14th Division. Shouldn't they be focusing on expanding their gains?
"We can't chase them too fast. After all, that's a division. If we really bully them too much, then both we and the 13th Army on the front line may encounter their fierce attacks."
They can still estimate that they can return alive, but if they realize that there is no way out, they will probably unleash a terrifying fighting force.
The Independent Brigade could fight any Japanese unit without being inferior, but it absolutely must not engage a group of desperados. That would be suicide.
With this explanation, Xiao Ya and the others understood.
Giving them a breather is giving them a chance, and it's also giving yourself a chance.
The independent brigade's operational objective of seizing enemy supplies has been achieved; the next step is simply to slightly expand upon the gains.
How much benefit one can gain later is no longer important.
The poison gas attack and the breach in the defense line left Kiyoshi Kazuki's head spinning.
He immediately understood why the 14th Division had been defeated in such a short time. It wasn't because the Imperial soldiers hadn't tried their best, but because the enemy had used poison gas first.
"Despicable." Kiyoshi Kazuki slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth. "They forbade us from using poison gas, but they used it themselves first. They were truly forced into it."
Ono, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated.
Everything was planned perfectly. Once the Setani Detachment came out, they would use its familiarity with the southern terrain to lead a division in a frontal attack, while the division would flank the Fifth War Zone's forces on both sides, thus successfully rescuing the 14th Division. If things went smoothly, the combined Imperial forces would quickly deploy and wipe out the Tang Army Corps in the Fifth War Zone.
This Tang Legion was a Central Army unit, while the Fifth War Zone Command was commanded by officers from local miscellaneous armies. If anyone in the mountain city knew that one of his legions had been wiped out, the struggle between local forces and the Central Army would be reenacted, especially the conflict between the capable Guangxi Army and the Central Army would become even more intense.
It was a brilliant and seemingly easy plan to succeed, but who could have imagined that such a plan would be ruined by the enemy's poison gas bombs?
No, they not only ruined the overall operational plan of the North China Area Army, but also forced the prestige of the North China Area Army to a dead end with a difficult choice.
The 14th Division was surrounded.
Whether he can get out is still unknown.
"I really can't understand it." Kiyoshi Kazuki frowned and looked at the area where the 14th Division was surrounded, gritting his teeth.
Can't figure it out?
Ono, puzzled, asked, "General, what do you mean by that?"
