Chapter 359 Yoshio Shinozuka: Only a strong man can break his wrist
"Boom boom boom..."
More and more grenades are hitting the blockade.
With the huge casualties and the fact that many puppet soldiers collapsed in the trenches and were killed, the number of grenades and hand grenades thrown from the blockade became less and less.
"All the remaining troops in the offensive position are pressed forward. The Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade are finished. End the battle as quickly as possible!" Huang Yu suddenly put down his telescope, pulled out the box cannon and rushed to the battlefield, giving orders as he ran.
In less than ten minutes, the gunfire at the blockade stopped, and the battlefield was filled with independent regiment soldiers holding torches.
Huang Yu pointed to the collapsed bomb-proof cave at his feet and ordered: "Ask a few soldiers to dig it out. As long as there are Japs buried inside, there will be something good!"
Wei Dayong took a team to do it himself. In a short time, he dug out the collapsed hole and was the first to get in.
"Battal Commander, there are six little devils inside...five, thirty-eight, and one crooked stick..."
"The six Japanese soldiers didn't have any wounds on their bodies, they were all suffocated to death..."
"Haha... we are rich... Battalion Commander, there are still two boxes of bullets and a box of grenades in the innermost part of the bomb hole..."
Huang Yu pointed at the ammunition box that Wei Dayong brought out and said, "You have seen it all!"
"The devils have hoarded a large number of weapons and ammunition at the blockade... In order to prevent these ammunition from being blown up by us, the best solution is to scatter them and hide them in anti-blast holes!"
"I estimate that other bomb-proof holes also have a large amount of ammunition stored..."
"Comrades, if you work harder, dig out all the bombproof holes we can find, and we can seize one more box of ammunition."
"Don't miss the machine gun bunker that we destroyed!"
"Many bunkers have been destroyed by us. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to dig out a few light and heavy machine guns!"
"The ammunition hidden by the Japanese in the bunker will not be less than that in the anti-cannon holes. They are also light and heavy machine gun bullets that we are in short supply. As long as they are not blown up, they must be buried in the ruins and intact. Try to dig them all out!"
"There are also Japanese artillery positions. There must be anti-gun holes for storing artillery shells. We must also find them."
"We have consumed more than a thousand artillery shells in the past few days, and we must get them back from the Japanese!"
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka was so anxious about the fighting on the front line that he kept pacing back and forth in the war room, nervous and anxious.
"General... we have lost contact with the Yantoupo position!" the radio operator hurried over to report.
"I received an enemy information report half an hour ago: the Yantoupo blocking position was heavily attacked by the independent regiment. Even the heavy artillery was dispatched, and the defenders suffered heavy losses!"
"The humble official was worried that something might happen to them, so he took the initiative to send them a telegram after half an hour to inquire about the situation of the war... As a result, he couldn't contact them anymore!"
Yoshio Shinozuka was already anxious, but he became even more anxious after hearing the report. He stared at the operator and asked: "I remember that the military department equipped them with a backup radio station... did you call the backup radio station?"
"Call!" the operator replied solemnly: "There is no response either!"
"Ji Zhi felt that something had happened to them, so he hurried over to report it!"
Yoshio Shinozuka strode to the sand table, and while searching for the Yantoupo position, he ordered: "Find the last telegram they sent to the military headquarters immediately... hurry up!"
The chief of staff ran to the table and flipped through it twice before pulling out a telegram: "General..."
"This telegram says that there are only more than 900 troops stationed in Yantoupo...more than half of the heavy weapons have been lost..."
"The independent regiment is assembling two heavy artillery pieces, three large-caliber mortars, two field guns, five or six mountain cannons, four thunder cannons, and more than a dozen 81mm caliber mortars... to blast the blockade line...
"
"Heavy artillery and large-caliber mortars can easily destroy bunkers and anti-gun holes on the blockade!"
"Field artillery and thunder cannons can also destroy anti-gun holes and machine gun bunkers after accurately hitting the target!"
"If the opponent has enough ammunition, there is indeed a high chance of taking over the Yantoupo blocking position!"
Yoshio Shinozuka stared at the sand table, his expression becoming more solemn as he looked at it.
Suddenly he punched the sand table with his fist and analyzed with anger: "We almost succeeded!"
"If the blocking position at Yantoupo is lost, the main force of the Independent Regiment will be able to continuously attack the base of the New Second Regiment through Yantoupo!"
"The independent regiment can participate in the battle even if they capture our heavy weapons!"
"At that time, not only the left mopping up troops will be besieged by the Eighth Route Army, but the right mopping up troops who are reinforcing the left mopping up troops will also be attacked from both sides and be in danger!"
At this moment, another telegraph operator hurriedly delivered two telegrams.
The chief of staff's face changed after taking one look, and he reported in a serious tone: "General, an urgent call has just been sent from another blockade attacked by the Independent Regiment and a blockade attacked by the New Regiment..."
"They were fiercely attacked by the Eighth Route Army... They suffered a huge loss of troops and may lose their blockade at any time!"
"What a cunning Eighth Route Army!" Yoshio Shinozuka said through gritted teeth!
"The Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment suddenly attacked the blockade. They were obviously reinforcing the New Second Regiment, preventing our right-side mopping up troops from continuing to reinforce the battlefield, and creating conditions for them to completely annihilate the left-route mopping up troops!"
"If the right mopping up troops continue to reinforce the battlefield, although there is a chance to rescue the left mopping up troops from the New Second Regiment, they will immediately be surrounded by heavy troops from the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment.
If you don’t do it well, you’ll get yourself into trouble!”
The chief of staff asked anxiously: "Then what should we do now?"
"We can only cut off our strength and let the right mopping up troops out of crisis first, and then find a way to rescue the left mopping up troops!"
After saying that, he began to issue orders: "Immediately send a telegram to the right mopping up troops..."
"Tell them to stop reinforcing the battlefield immediately... take the nearest road to evacuate the New Second Regiment's base!"
"Contact the left sweep troops...and ask them to break out of the encirclement immediately and evacuate the base of the New Second Regiment!"
"If large groups of troops cannot move, they will divide their forces to break out. There are small roads and mountain roads to evacuate the base of the New Second Regiment..."
"Try to avoid fighting with the Eighth Route Army on the way back... to prevent them from dragging you into the battlefield!"
"Notify the remaining three blockade garrisons to immediately evacuate the battlefield by alternate cover, and take the nearest road to evacuate the Eighth Route Army base area..."
"This order is extremely urgent. All troops must execute it immediately after receiving it. They cannot shirk it for any reason, otherwise military law will be enforced!"
At the enemy headquarters of the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong was admiring with a smile the troops' battle to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops.
When I see the excitement, I dance with joy!
"Captain...an urgent call to the reinforcements...the Japanese mopping up troops on the right suddenly turned around and retreated, marching very fast..." The radio operator suddenly rushed over and interrupted.
"The little devil ran away...it shouldn't be!" Li Yunlong immediately said with an incredulous expression.
"We still have thousands of Japanese puppet troops in our pocket formation. When did Yoshio Shinozuka become so generous and throw away so many troops at will..."
