194, stunned! How many artillery regiments are there on Tuba Road?
"Report!"
"The Third Brigade was attacked by Tubal Road!"
"Report!"
"The First Battalion was attacked by Tubal Road!"
"Report!"
"The Fifth Battalion was attacked by Tubal Road!"
"Report……"
Advisors kept coming.
All is bad news.
This made Hiragaku Yongfu very irritated.
As the brigade commander of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, he was the first to arrive at the front line of Ping'an County.
Prior to this, Hirakata Yongfu felt that he had a chance to make great achievements. Retaking Ping'an County was just around the corner. It was impossible for Tubal Road to fight the Japanese army on the plains.
Unless they are crazy.
Unexpectedly, Tubalu was really crazy.
Not only did they fight the Tubal Road on the plain, but they also wiped out the Kasahara Regiment!
This had a great impact on Isamu Hirakaku.
He immediately changed from the arrogance before to the anxiety now.
The reason for my anxiety is simple. I only have one independent mixed brigade. What if I get eaten by Tubal...
Why do you have such terrible thoughts?
Isamu Hiragaku couldn't even explain it himself.
After all, I have an independent mixed brigade!
The number of troops is close to 7,000!
There are two independent mixed brigade groups behind!
There is also a heavy artillery regiment!
With so many troops, couldn't they recapture a small county town?
Not to mention the 29th Division...
Oh, I just received the latest news that the 29th Division continues to move north.
Because Fan County was also attacked by Tubal Road, the 29th Division had to rescue Fan County. Therefore, there were only three independent mixed brigades in the battle on the southern front.
They all accept the direct command of the Japanese First Army Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, General, they should all be suspected soldiers on the Tubal Road. The purpose of attacking sporadicly is to slow down our advance. We should speed up our advance."
"No."
Isamu Hiragaku disagrees with the opinion of Chief of Staff Yoshio Tsuneoka.
He is very cautious now and dare not rush forward easily. Otherwise, Kasahara Koizumi will be his fate.
"Order troops to report losses."
"Tie!"
The staff officer went out to deliver orders.
Isamu Hiragaku paid close attention to the fifth independent mixed brigade behind.
He worries that he will be surrounded by partition.
In case Tubal Road is inserted from the middle...
The Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade is less than thirty kilometers away from him. Logically speaking, it only takes five hours to walk there.
With such a short distance, even if Tuba Road tried to cut through it, it would still be impossible.
However, Isamu Hiragaku always has this worry.
If you are surrounded, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Your Excellency General..."
The chief of staff hesitated to speak.
He felt that the brigade commander was too cautious.
The Japanese army concentrated more than 20,000 troops to attack a county town!
How could it fail?
Can Tubal Road stop the attack of 20,000 Japanese troops?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, the Japanese army only needs to rush in and fight hard!
With the firepower of Tubal Road, it is not as good as a Japanese army. It can be defeated with a single charge.
I don’t know what happened to the Kasahara Alliance. They were actually wiped out by Tobali.
Because the First Army Headquarters was very secretive about the demise of the Kasahara Regiment and never elaborated on it, other Japanese troops did not know the details.
Tsuneoka Yoshio didn't know the equipment situation of Tubal Road in front of him at all. He still judged based on previous information.
On the other hand, Hiragaku Yongfu vaguely knew something about it, but he didn't dare to say it easily.
If you talk nonsense, you can easily be accused of being a coward and then be punished.
"Report!"
Finally, a staff officer arrived.
Brought the latest casualties reported from the front lines.
"The First Brigade lost one hundred and thirty people..."
"The Third Brigade lost ninety people..."
"The Fourth Brigade lost one hundred and eighty people..."
"Nani?"
The chief of staff felt incredible.
The Fourth Brigade actually lost 180 people. How did this loss occur?
One hundred and eighty people!
That's a full squadron!
Just after contacting Tubal Road, the Fourth Battalion lost a squadron?
idiot!
How did they fight?
How could a squadron be wiped out by Tubal Road in just one encounter!
The commander must commit seppuku!
waste!
"They reported..."
The staff officer murmured, not daring to speak directly.
Isamu Hirakawa waved his hand.
"The Fourth Brigade reported that the Tubal Road they encountered had extremely strong firepower, appeared and disappeared, and left after the fight..."
"idiot!"
Tsuneoka Yoshio cursed angrily.
subterfuge!
They're all excuses!
They are all excuses!
It’s the frontline troops who are too incompetent!
What does Tubal Road have extremely strong firepower? Thanks for saying it!
Tubalu has so much firepower, can he still be called extremely powerful?
"Juneoka-kun!"
Isamu Hiragaku waved his hand and asked the staff officer to leave.
Chief of Staff Tsuneoka Yoshio then shut up angrily.
"Mr. Chang Gang, there are field artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road..."
"Nani?"
"Otherwise, how do you think Kasahara-kun was broken into pieces?"
"Tuba Road..."
Tsuneoka Yoshio felt incredible.
Where did this news come from? Why didn’t you know?
"A friend in the aviation force told me."
"The aviation force lost two aircraft near Ping'an County. They were both shot down by anti-aircraft weapons from Tubal Road."
"Also, Tsuneoka-kun, do you remember that the Kasahara Regiment has a tank squadron?"
Hiragakuo Yufu said slowly.
Tsuneoka Yoshio's face gradually turned pale and became more and more ugly.
Damn it!
I don’t know anything!
He, the chief of staff of an independent mixed brigade, actually knows nothing!
Why?
Why should the superiors hide it?
Why don't they tell themselves? What are they worried about?
Are you worried that if you find out, you will never dare to go to Ping'an County again? Never dare to fight bravely on Tubal Road again?
"Jungaoka-kun, be careful!"
Hirakata Yongfu solemnly reminded.
Tsuneoka Yoshio suddenly woke up.
He hurriedly bent down and thanked me sincerely.
The brigade commander was reminding him.
First, don’t rush in easily. Don’t fall into the trap of Tuba Road.
Second, the words you just said must be rotten in your stomach. If you say them out, you will definitely get yourself into big trouble.
"Please give me some advice, General!"
"Order the troops to shrink and defend. Let's wait for Nara-kun."
Hiragakuo Yufu said slowly.
Tsuneoka Yoshio understood and immediately went out to deliver the order.
Nara-kun, Kenjiro Nara, is the brigade commander of the fifth independent mixed brigade.
If the two brigade hedgehogs are together, everything should be fine.
No matter how big Tubalu's appetite is, he can't possibly eat two tour groups, right?
Just do it!
Protect yourself first.
…
"Captain, the Japanese invaders have begun to shrink their troops."
"It seems that the Japanese invaders are too cautious! We can't find any chance to attack."
"Then use field artillery to bombard him! In short, he will not be able to live in peace!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, showing his domineering attitude.
Reduce troop strength?
Hedgehogs in a group?
Think this will be fine?
Haha, if it were before, I really couldn't do anything to you.
but now……
"boom!"
"boom!"
At an order, six field guns began to bombard.
The maximum range of this field gun can reach eight kilometers. Although long-range shooting is not accurate, it has a great deterrent effect.
The shell fell in the middle of the Japanese invaders' position.
The huge explosion immediately alarmed both Hiragakuo Yufu and Tsuneoka Yoshio.
"idiot!"
"There really are field artillery on Tubal Road!"
"Why……"
Tsuneoka Yoshio cursed angrily.
Finally, he shut up angrily. But he remembered the words of Isamu Hiragakuo.
There are some things you can't ask.
There are some things that cannot be said.
Otherwise, you will get yourself into big trouble.
He, Yoshio Tsuneoka, had a hard time reaching the rank of colonel.
The most valuable colonel should lead the regiment in combat. Only the colonel with no background or backing will serve as chief of staff.
If he makes a mistake, he can easily be transferred to the reserve force.
"Your Excellency General, where did the field artillery on Tubal Road come from?" Yoshio Tsuneoka asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Isamu Hiragaku shook his head, "No one knows."
"Then we order the artillery to counterattack?"
"Pay attention to saving shells."
"Tie!"
Tsuneoka Yoshio turned back.
Soon after, the Japanese artillery began to counterattack.
On and off.
Beat, stop, stop.
As an independent mixed brigade, there are not many artillery units.
Each brigade has two infantry guns, ten in total, and twelve 90mm mortars. This is all the assets.
Now participating in the counterattack are mainly 90mm mortars.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The shells came out intermittently.
I don’t insist on hitting any targets. I just tell Tubalu that we also have artillery! Don’t bully others too much!
result……
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, countless cannonballs fell.
The entire Japanese position suddenly seemed like a sea of fire. It seemed as if hundreds of artillery shells were falling at the same time.
There were constant explosions.
Pieces of fire.
But it was Li Yunlong who ordered the counterattack with mortars.
You dare to fight back, right?
I’ll teach you how to be a good person now!
The new regiment only had six field guns, but it had many more mortars.
There are more than twenty mortars in one battalion. The number of 81mm mortars in the entire new regiment is definitely more than one hundred. It may even be close to two hundred!
With so many mortars participating in the counterattack, one can imagine the momentum.
It was a rare opportunity for the artillerymen to express themselves. Of course they were not polite. They fired eight rounds in rapid succession.
Anyway, the shells are piled up like a mountain. They can be fired openly.
"idiot!"
Tsuneoka Yoshio was shocked.
Isamu Hiragaku was shocked.
All the Japanese invaders were also shocked.
OMG!
Is this artillery fire from Tubal Road?
sky!
How many cannons are firing?
Is it an artillery regiment?
Or several artillery regiments?
How many artillery troops are there on Tubal Road?
Is such a volley meant to cover all the Japanese troops?
very scary!
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery fire on Tubal Road continued.
It can be described as an indiscriminate bombing.
In just a few minutes, at least 2,500 artillery shells fell on the Japanese position!
very scary!
Twenty-five hundred rounds of artillery shells!
It was still launched from Tubal Road!
Incredible!
Unbelievable!
Japanese casualties skyrocketed.
In this round of shelling alone, the Japanese suffered more than 400 casualties!
A major captain was killed!
A large number of other weapons and equipment were blown up. At least ten heavy machine guns were lost.
The Japanese artillery did not dare to fight back.
Finally, the shelling on Tubal Road finally stopped. All the Japanese troops were in a state of sluggish numbness.
They cannot accept it.
There are so many artillery on Tubal Road!
How many artillery regiments do they have?
How many artillery shells do they have? Are they free of charge for such indiscriminate bombardment?
"so……"
Hiragakuo Yufu said slowly.
"Build fortifications!"
"Defend in place!"
"Let Nara-kun take the lead!"
"Isn't he always complaining about not being at the front? We can let him go."
Tsuneoka Yoshio immediately understood.
Hiragakuo Yufu nodded.
good!
The chief of staff finally came to the rescue.
Since Mr. Nara is so active, let’s give this huge credit to him.
