Chapter 721 Must be the Sichuan Army
The explosion was loudly sounded, and the houses of several square kilometers around were falling out of dirt.
Naturally, it alarmed the temporary command of the 10th Division on the other side of the river.
Chief of Staff, Takashi and Nagase Takehei, the 8th Brigade Brigade, rushed out of the division's command center in a hurry and rushed back to the command center.
"Immediately, send a telegram to the Isogai Division Commander. The 33rd Brigade was ambushed by the Chinese army on the other side of the river!"
Since the beginning of the change and entering China, this has never happened to the 10th Division.
The explosion across the river was earth-shaking.
The explosion did not stop, and gunfire was loud. From the shelling of the airport, this was a careful premeditation, such as the high-level military meeting of the National Government, the arrest of Han Fuju, all of which were smoke bombs, in order to confuse the imperial army.
"General Sewu, what should I do now? Should I order the 8th Brigade to rush to the Floating Bridge Ferry to reinforce the 33rd Brigade, or order artillery reinforcements from the Artillery Ferry?"
Se Takehei didn't know what to do now.
The pontoon bridge was blown away, and the 8th Brigade arrived, but it was not convenient to wade across the river in that place.
What should I do when crossing the river from other places? What should I do when I supply it? Can the artillery corps and baggage corps be blocked by the Chinese army's attack?
Besides, Dawenkou Town has so many strategic reserve materials. If it is lost, who should be responsible?
"Communication Soldier, have you contacted the commander of the Lai Qigu Brigade?"
"We are in contact. Not only is the leader of the Lai Qigu Brigade who did not respond, but all radio stations of the 33 Brigade on the other side of the river did not respond!"
"Wait, wait for ten minutes. If you still can't contact us, please inform the artillery gang to bombard the bombardment and cover the direction that the explosion site and gunfire are remembered. First call them to notify them, aim at the direction of the explosion just now and the direction where the gunfire sounded! If you didn't contact the 33rd Brigade for ten minutes..., forget it, wait until the division commander calls back!"
Se Takehei was in a state of chaos, and he felt that the war had exceeded his control.
The 10th Division lost its 33rd Infantry Brigade and its combat power was reduced by at least half.
You know, defending the airport and pursuing the Chinese artillery is not your own task. If the imperial army is accidentally injured and the Chinese army counterattacks Dawenkou Town, he is the one who should go to the military court!
Since receiving a telegram about being shelled at Dawenkou Airport, Ryosuke Isotani issued an order to the Chief of Staff.
I've been restless.
He remembered the reminder of that woman named Hideko Yamada.
The Sichuan Army has arrived in Teng County, Shandong.
It is only one hundred kilometers away from Dawenkou.
The experience of going to Sichuan was a failed unforgettable journey. He had seen Guo Xunqi and Feng Tiankui, and he could still recall the faces of the two.
He arrived at the General Staff of the Front Army, sent the telegram, but never left.
I have to wait for the 33rd Brigade to catch the sneak attack artillery and avenge my previous shame.
However, an hour later, he did not wait for the victory news. The telegram from the front line brought him shocking news!
Isotani Ryosuke sat on the ground, not believing that the telegram in his hand was true.
The 33rd Brigade was ambushed by the Chinese army opposite Dawenkou, exploded and destroyed the pontoon bridge, and destroyed the baggage vehicles carried by the Brigade.
The losses are incalculable.
The opponent on the other side is too cruel.
It's too unfair to talk about Bushido.
They took advantage of the terrifying warriors in the explosion and launched an attack. It was so cruel that they hit the most painful joints all at once.
There were dense gunfire sounds across the river, and all the contact information of the 33rd Brigade, including Lai Guqi, could not be reached.
What should I do?
Isotani Ryosuke finally shook his head and tried his best to drive out the idea that this was not true.
While asking the staff to report to the commander of the front army, Soichi Deanuchi.
While drafting a telegram, I issued an order to the Chief of Staff.
He asked the artillery corps of the 10th Division to concentrate all artillery, aim at gunfire around the explosion site across the river, give the most violent shelling, and authorize them to use special smoke to bombard it.
While writing, Aosuke Isotani asked the staff to send a message, and the cavalry corps retreated to Dawenkou Town to protect the division headquarters.
The 8th Infantry Regiment was ordered to send two brigades to protect the railway station and warehouse.
The 10th Division could no longer afford to lose. In the dark night, without air support, the soldiers of the 10th Division must be allowed to stabilize their positions based on the positions built by Dawenkou.
He was going to meet Commander Suichi Desouchi.
As soon as he got up, he walked out of the front army's general staff and was immediately stopped by the chased staff.
"The commander of the Isogao Division, with an emergency power on the front line, the artillery gang of the 10th Division was bombarded by the Chinese army. Chief of staff observed the firepower of the incoming artillery. The main artillery was the Imperial Army's Type 41 mountain cannon, and the firepower of a complete artillery gang. In the Chinese army, only one unit has such equipment, and the one who came must be the Sichuan Army!"
Isotani Ryosuke, who had just been hit by the major losses of the 33rd Brigade, suddenly felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. The staff guards beside him reached out to support him.
"How could the Sichuan Army be the Sichuan Army? Liu Xiang, Feng Tiankui, Guo Xunqi, and Deng Xihou all held a meeting in Kaifeng, how could they come so quickly!"
Of course, Zhou Xiaoshan would not miss the Japanese artillery corps. This is the only number that can cause significant losses to the Chinese army at a long distance.
The reason for raiding now.
He was afraid that the Japanese artillery soldiers would react too quickly and took advantage of the artillery battle with the 50th Army's artillery regiment. The Japanese artillery gang had two or three thousand people. He was afraid that Zhang Haipeng's Guangyuan Security Brigade and the 168th Division Cavalry Regiment could not defeat this group of artillery soldiers, and were surrounded by the 8th Japanese brigade who rushed over.
The big explosion on the banks of the Dawen River was accompanied by the sound of gunfire from the 168th Division.
No worries left.
According to the mission map, the 50th Army Artillery Regiment will cover the location of the Japanese artillery corps in the direction of guidance of the staff and the direct company.
According to the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance forces, the artillery corps of the 10th Division are really well-trained.
The artillery bombardment at Dawenkou Airport was less than ten minutes.
Then they gathered together and set up artillery positions outside their base.
However, the targets of this artillery gang and the direction of the muzzle are all aimed at the 168th Division Artillery Regiment that was looking for the artillery airport.
The battle to the banks of the Dawen River began.
The vigilant artillery corps leader immediately ordered the staff to analyze the distance between the explosion on the other side of the river.
Adjust the muzzle and cover the artillery fire of Chinese troops on the other side of the strait.
But they were still adjusting their muzzles.
Dozens of test-fired shells fell down.
Perhaps the 50th Army's artillery regiment did not test the fire at all, so they started a few rounds first, and were correcting the parameters according to the report of the front-line staff car scouts.
Luo Liang, who had just moved to the vicinity of the Japanese Artillery Regiment, just now.
Seeing the gun ball accurately bounced, I secretly said that it was beautiful.
At least one-quarter of the artillery hit the Japanese artillery positions.
The Japanese army on the position was in chaos, and many soldiers could not believe that in addition to their regiment, there were also familiar sounds of Japanese artillery, and they hit their own positions.
Chapter completed!
