Chapter 530: The Special High Technology Department is really a bunch of trash
Kanekichi Ueda has already secured this victory.
Everyone present thought so.
After he left, the entire headquarters was no longer busy. Some people were already comfortably making a cup of tea, drinking it while waiting for good news of victory ahead.
A telegram was delivered to Chief of Staff Ishihara who was drinking tea.
After reading the telegram, Ishihara stood up and walked towards Ueda Kenkichi's rest room.
Without waiting for the adjutant to report, Ishihara opened the door and came to Ueda Kanekichi's bed; "General, this is an emergency."
When Ueda Kanekichi opened his eyes, he saw Ishihara's nervousness. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Does the enemy still have room to fight back?
In his opinion, no.
The most powerful 74th Army has been divided into three. They are unable to organize an effective attack, and it is only a matter of time before the 71st Army is eaten up by themselves. Once this matter is over, the Fujita Detachment will be able to quickly reunite and continue the attack.
Victory was in his grasp, and he didn't understand how there could be any emergency in such a situation.
"The Tanaka Brigade encountered a fierce attack from the enemy and its defense line was destroyed. Now, one of their regiments is surrounded by the enemy."
The person in front of him would not take it seriously unless he explained the situation directly.
"What?" Ueda Kanekichi sat up. "What did you say? The Tanaka Brigade encountered a fierce attack and the enemy surrounded an entire regiment."
How can this be.
What the Tanaka Brigade had to deal with was only one regiment of the Central Army, and the rest were the Sichuan Army.
The defense is insufficient, yet they still have the ability to attack. Are they kidding me?
Although he didn't believe it, he still stood up, read the message, strode into the operations room, and pointed at the telephone operator standing there; "Connect to the Tanaka Brigade."
pat...
A minute later, Ueda Kanekichi put down the phone and came to the battle map with a frown on his face.
Tanaka reported that they were gathering troops and preparing for an attack to tie down the enemy's forces, but the enemy suddenly launched an attack. A battalion of field artillery fired a barrage of shells, causing heavy losses to the gathered troops.
Before the bombardment was over, the enemy rushed out of their positions, led by several tanks and trucks. The Fujino Regiment in charge of the attack did not even have a chance to react, and was severely damaged by the enemy. They could only retreat to the back, and finally collided with a battalion of the Yamaguchi Regiment that was preparing to cooperate in the battle. In the chaos, the enemy surrounded this force on two small hills in Area No. 3.
"We've been fooled." Ueda Kanekichi stared at the map for a while and pointed to the location of the Tanaka Brigade; "He's not dealing with ordinary Central Army, he's dealing with the Independent Regiment."
idiot.
Fujita was playing tricks on the other side, but unexpectedly, the 74th Army was also playing tricks on Fujita.
From the very beginning, they had no intention of attacking Fujita, but instead chose Tanaka.
Tanaka was completely unaware of the situation and still treated the enemy as ordinary troops, so his artillery was directly out of the enemy's artillery range.
"General, what should we do now?"
What else can I do?
Ueda Kanekichi put his hands behind his back. "We cannot afford to lose two-thirds of a brigade. Let Fujita stop attacking the 71st Army and quickly mobilize troops to support Tanaka and help the besieged troops break out.
Damn, those guys in the Special High Technology Department are really a bunch of losers. They didn't even know that the troops were secretly swapped.
Boom...boom boom boom...
One shell after another fell on the opposite hillside. Zhou Weiguo observed with a telescope in the trench that was dug out in a hurry.
A regiment and a battalion of the Japanese Tanaka Brigade, which were surrounded by themselves and an army of Sichuan Army, were building a defensive position on the hillside.
Their machine gun position was in front, with artillery behind them. In the distance, one could see that these Japanese soldiers, who had never dug or stood still, were digging their defensive positions with engineering shovels.
"It looks like they are waiting for reinforcements. Look at the defense." Zhou Weiguo took a look and put away the telescope. This is not the front-line command center, it's just a standing position. The weather is very good today and the telescope is prone to reflections.
If you are not careful, the opponent's sharpshooter will find you and kill you with one shot.
"Second in command, shall we attack?" Zhao Shoutian knelt down to avoid exposing his head, then took the telescope and put it into the backpack around his waist and asked.
You have to attack, but when is the best time to attack?
Zhou Weiguo patted Zhao Shoutian on the shoulder, and then several people bent down and moved back along the trench for dozens of meters, then climbed up and went behind the ridge next to them.
This was the temporary command post at the front. Because there was no time to build a bunker, the entire temporary regiment headquarters was located inside a randomly dug trench, with weeds and branches used to provide a simple cover on the outside.
"Xiao Ya, have the Japanese reinforcements been dispatched?" Zhou Weiguo came to Xiao Ya, took the tea handed to him by Chao Xiang Xiuling, took a few sips and asked.
Xiao Ya handed the telegram beside her to Zhou Weiguo; "The telegram from five minutes ago said that the Fujita detachment that attacked the 71st Army, the Kamii Division, had withdrawn from the battlefield. The commander inferred that they were coming to rescue the Tanaka Brigade."
Zhou Weiguo took the telegram before he finished reading it.
Xu Hu rushed in at a trot. "Captain, commander, Tanaka is leading a battalion of soldiers from the north, and they are five kilometers away from us."
Xu Hu did not follow Takeshita Shun this time, after all, he was still the company commander of the special forces company.
After the battle started, he took scouts to observe the situation at the Tanaka Brigade headquarters.
A brigade?
Zhou Weiguo came to the map and motioned Xu Hu to point out the location.
Xu Hu pointed to a place; "At present, they are here."
"Gao Yun." Zhou Weiguo turned his head and shouted.
Gao Yun was the company commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun company. After the attack, his anti-aircraft machine gun had no combat mission.
"Here." Gao Yun, who was smoking, put out his cigarette and came to Zhou Weiguo. "What do you want, Commander?"
Pointing to the place where Tanaka's battalion was coming from, Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and pointed to this location; "You and your men with four anti-aircraft machine guns, a regiment of Sichuan troops, and a special forces company, are at this position. Stop them and don't let them in. If they come in."
"Don't worry, Commander. The position is still there even if the people are there. I promise to complete the mission and prevent these bastards from getting through."
After waving his hand, signaling Gao Yun and Xu Hu to leave, Zhou Weiguo's gaze fell in the direction of the Fujino Detachment.
According to the news sent by the military, the Kamijui Regiment is already on the way, and the only shortcut they can take if they want to quickly support the surrounded troops is this abandoned road.
“You’ve come all the way here.”
Zhou Weiguo muttered to himself twice and turned to look at Fang Shengli and Sano Tadayoshi beside him; "I think..."
"Don't think about it. I know what you want to do." Fang Shengli waved his hand. Looking at the look in Zhou Weiguo's eyes just now, he has followed him for so many years. If he can't see this, then he has followed Zhou Weiguo for so many years in vain.
