Chapter 461 Why the Japanese Army Hasn't Left Yet
The sacrifice of these two regiments and the Yamaguchi Brigade was exchanged for breaking through the enemy's defensive positions.
This deal is a good deal.
As for the fact that a brigade was almost wiped out, the headquarters would not cause trouble for themselves in this matter.
Since the war began, the enemy has destroyed more than one or two brigade headquarters, and their losses have not brought any benefits to the empire. But it is different for me. At least I took advantage of the destruction of this brigade to destroy the enemy's defense line. This will only help the orders of the imperial headquarters, but will not harm them.
The Yamaguchi Brigade is gone.
After hearing what he said, the adjutant had already made a judgment in his mind about the existence of this brigade.
General, we are going to let the Yamaguchi Brigade attract the enemy's firepower, and then take the opportunity to attack them and destroy their defense line.
It doesn't matter whether the independent regiment is still alive or not. After the battle is over, they must at least recuperate for a while. After all, the losses will be huge.
"Damn, what a sinister person." At the headquarters of the commander of the First War Zone, Commander Bai, who was standing in front of the map, combined the Japanese military telegram and fiercely tapped the map and said to the people around him: "I have to admire this former commander of the Kwantung Army. He is indeed the one who commanded the elite corps of the Japanese Army. His courage is different from others."
"Indeed, they used a brigade to attract our troops, and launched an attack in another direction. In this way, they broke through our defense line. But our army cannot give up the 74th Army and the 59th Army. This move is indeed powerful." The chief of staff next to him also understood the other party's intention.
This time, Ueda Kanekichi did the opposite. He no longer focused on annihilating the 74th Army, but instead let the Yamaguchi Brigade hold down the 74th Army, using the sacrifice of this brigade in exchange for his breakthrough of the position.
Obviously, his goal was achieved.
Although our side might be able to annihilate the enemy's Yamaguchi Brigade, we would also lose our defense line at the same time.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Is it necessary for the 74th Army to withdraw from the battle immediately?
After asking, Commander Bai took a closer look at the map and pointed to it. "Telegram to the 74th Army. Don't worry about other lines of defense. Quickly mobilize troops to destroy the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade and evacuate to Area . Also, telegram to the Air Force. Send as many troops as you can. Destroy the bridges and roads along the way. Stop the enemy from breaking through our positions and advance quickly."
At this point, Commander Bai pointed to the map and said, "He fights his, I fight mine, everything will be done after we defeat the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade."
After receiving the order from the First War Zone Commander Headquarters, Commander Feng, who was in charge of the 58th Division, ordered a regiment to monitor the situation. The rest of the troops, under his leadership, were sent forward to support the independent regiment in the battle.
Zhou Weiguo, who was already covered in blood, was fighting with his opponent with his willpower of "I must die if you don't".
His original command knife had been chopped up long ago, and now he had two military bayonets in his hands. The bayonet equipped on the rifle was something he couldn't handle, so the machete was of poor quality.
"Commander, what do they mean? The fight has come to this point. Why don't they leave?"
Zhou Weiguo had no hope of defeating them. He did so at that time in order to prevent the enemy's air force from targeting him. Now, the enemy's air force is not coming, but it seems that they have no intention of leaving.
The independent regiment has already suffered a lot of casualties. If the fighting continues, it will probably be wiped out here.
Yu Huohuo turned his head and glanced at him; "What are you afraid of? Just let them fight on. Now everyone is almost exhausted. Whoever can hold on to the end will be the winner."
Yu Huohuo's military uniform had already been stained with blood.
Zhou Weiguo naturally understood this logic. He let out a roar and prepared to charge forward with his bayonet again, but before he could do so, he heard shouts of killing from behind. He turned his head and saw the flag of the 58th Division fluttering in the wind, and behind the flag were densely packed soldiers of the 58th Division wearing blue-gray uniforms and German helmets.
This force quickly rushed up and fought with the Japanese army, while another part of the force was making a detour, and it seemed that they wanted to encircle the enemy and annihilate them completely.
"How did they get up here?" Yu Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers coming up and quickly taking over the independent regiment that was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy, then turned around and asked Zhou Weiguo in confusion.
Zhou Weiguo didn't know about this either. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. But General, we must fight to the death. We can't really surround them. If we do, and they start a desperate struggle, we won't be able to withstand it."
Yu Huohuo naturally understood this and prepared to ask his adjutant to inquire about the situation, but before he could say anything, Xiao Ya's voice came from behind him; "Awen."
When Zhou Weiguo heard Xiao Ya's voice, he turned his head and looked over. Wow, not only Xiao Ya came up, but everyone else came up, including Asaka Hiderei, Minamizō Akiko, Tian Jing and others.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Weiguo was furious. They were fighting a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army, so why were they coming up here?
Asaka Hiderei and Minamizō Akiko hid beside Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya came to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Commander, the war zone has issued an order that the Japanese army has abandoned the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade and has now broken through the 59th Army's position. The war zone has ordered us to quickly defeat the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade and immediately move to the direction of Area ."
Yu Huohuo hummed and sat on the ground tiredly, pointing at Zhao Xiang Xiuling, "Go find Division Commander Feng and ask the troops who are encircling us to make a gap and let the Japanese escape."
The defense line has collapsed and the Japanese army is likely to rush over immediately. The 74th Army cannot stay here and must quickly leave this dangerous place.
Zhou Weiguo was so tired that he sat on the ground. He thought that since the other side had given up these two regiments, there was no need for them to continue to fight with the 74th Army here.
While taking a breath, Zhou Weiguo took the opportunity to eat the canned food that Xiao Ya fed him personally. His arms were now barely able to lift.
Time passed little by little, and Zhou Weiguo, who had finally calmed down, began to complain to Yu Huohuo.
"Commander, our independent regiment suffered heavy losses in this battle."
"Damn it." Yu Huohuo stretched out his foot and kicked Zhou Weiguo. He didn't know what Zhou Weiguo was planning to do, but he was going to ask him for something.
Don't think you don't know that the independent regiment's losses this time were mainly in infantry, and the rest of the troops did not suffer much loss.
"You don't need to tell me about the problem of troops. The higher-ups will provide you with them. As for the rest, don't even think about it." Don't think you don't know. Not long after Xiao Ya launched a frontal attack on the Yamaguchi Brigade, Ono had already evacuated the battlefield. At this time, that profiteer might be somewhere, smiling and calculating how much money this batch of supplies could be sold for.
Yu Huohuo wanted to understand, but before he could say anything, Xiang Xiuling ran over and said, "General, Weiguo, something bad has happened."
