There was a problem with the squad leader's prediction this time. He originally thought that there would be a second battle within half an hour, but who knew that there was no battle until dark. Why?
The two infantry regiments involved in the attack suffered too many casualties.
"Ba Ge Ya Lu, bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"
Looking at the two captains standing in front of him, Major General Kikuchi slapped him twice, and he hit harder and harder. If these two guys were not useless, they would be fighting on the position of the suppressing army now.
The war has been going on for four hours. During these four hours, the two infantry regiments were almost crippled. This was a great shame and an unprecedented defeat.
Thirty-nine hundred people in the First Brigade have lost their combat effectiveness, accounting for almost 40%.
In particular, the two infantry companies involved in the attack suffered 80% casualties. According to international practice, these two infantry companies were almost destroyed.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if we can't hold on, we should ask the Division Commander for assistance. If we continue to attack, the entire First Brigade may be here."
The combat staff next to them made a combat prediction. If there was no night battle tonight, they might be able to hold on for one more day. However, if the night battle was carried out tonight according to the original plan, the remaining two infantry companies might not be able to survive.
"Absolutely not. The First Brigade is the benchmark for all armies. How could they request assistance just four hours after the war started?"
Major General Kikuchi turned around and slapped him in the face, which made the combat staff's eyes look like stars.
The other officers also had bitter looks on their faces. They had already suffered more than half of their casualties. When we were at our strongest, we couldn't kill them. If we launched an attack now, how could we kill them? In the end, we would not have destroyed the entire first army.
A brigade will be handed over here?
It would be a great shame to lose an organized brigade on the first day of the war.
When the Daqian Empire fought against the Dongdi Kingdom, not even an infantry brigade was completely wiped out, let alone an entire brigade. How long has passed, the army of the Daqian Empire has grown into a
Is this so?
"Pass my order and have dinner immediately. After dinner, I, the general, will personally lead the troops. As long as they are soldiers of my first brigade, everyone must wear armor and go into battle. I don't care if he is a groom or a cook. I
What I’m saying is that everyone will be successful if they don’t succeed tonight.”
Major General Kikuchi issued his order, but many people below him were not very willing because it was a death order.
Your Majesty the General is so selfish. For the sake of his own private reputation, he actually asked the entire brigade to bury him.
"Your Majesty, the Brigade Commander, this is Colonel Miyamoto of the 77th Brigade. He has come to support our brigade on the order of His Highness the Prince."
Just when Major General Kikuchi was preparing to press forward with his entire army, reinforcements suddenly arrived from behind.
The place where they fought was not very far from the concession. Even if Major General Kikuchi did not report to the superiors, the people inside had heard some news. Prince Beigongbai also knew what kind of person Major General Kikuchi was, so he directly sent reinforcements beyond the level.
.
Seventy-seven Brigade?
Major General Kikuchi knew from this designation that it was not a very important army and should have been newly established in the past two years.
The top twenty divisions in Dongdi Kingdom have very strong combat capabilities, and they are all veteran armies.
If we start from the brigade, it must be the top forty brigade. This brigade is already the seventy-seventh brigade. Even if it is a reorganized brigade, its brigade commander is only a colonel. That's all, you can imagine how their fighting power is.
But can we still be picky in this situation?
"Which division do you belong to? Why are you participating in this battle?"
Major General Kikuchi said a little strangely that only three divisions were mobilized for this battle, and there should be no lower-ranked divisions. Because Prince Kitamiya wanted a quick victory, all the elite troops mobilized.
"Your Excellency General, I am affiliated with the newly formed 36th Division. It was originally stationed in the southeastern province of the Daqian Empire. After receiving the general's order, we went north at starry night. In addition to our headquarters, our 36th Division has already All arrived in Haicheng."
After hearing this, Major General Kikuchi was a little surprised. The Dongdi Kingdom had a lot of troops stationed in the Dagan Empire, totaling hundreds of thousands of people. Prince Beigong Bai, as the king's uncle and the head of the military, Naturally, he is qualified to mobilize all the troops in the Daqian Empire.
What surprised Major General Kikuchi was not this, but the scale of the battle that had expanded.
The 36th Division is a second-line division that protects the interests of Dongdi Kingdom in the southeastern province. Now they are all heading north...
"Where is the 29th Division of Jianghuai Province?"
Major General Kikuchi suddenly thought of another thing. There was another 29th Division between Haicheng and Southeast Province.
"Reporting to your Excellency, General, the 29th Division also arrived at Haicheng at 5:00 pm. There are currently more than five divisions in Haicheng."
After hearing this, Major General Kikuchi immediately felt at ease. One minute he was leading his troops to fight, but a minute later he found out that their troops in Haicheng had exceeded 100,000 people.
The empire assisted the Daqian Dynasty in building the coastal railway. At that time, many people thought it was a mistake. Now once the war breaks out, the speed of operation is also amazing. Two divisions can be transferred to Haicheng in one day. This That's what this railway is for.
boom…
Major General Kikuchi wanted to say something else, but suddenly a large number of artillery shells fell around the position. According to his offensive steps, they should take the initiative in the night battle.
During the entire day, the Suppression Army showed no intention of attacking. Could it be that they were going to attack after dark?
The changes in Dongdi's army naturally could not be concealed from Gao Shaoyi. Under such circumstances, Gao Shaoyi immediately issued an order to Jiang Mu.
Let Jiang Mujiu gather the strength of the three regiments and immediately eat Major General Kikuchi's first brigade.
In the past, we could wait for them to attack, but now we must seize the strategic initiative. As long as we kill Major General Kikuchi's first brigade, we will be equivalent to guarding the gate of the concession.
No matter how many troops you have, if you want to break out, you will have to face the iron wall formed by Jiang Mu's three regiments.
Of course, Major General Kikuchi's First Brigade is now redundant and must be captured immediately.?? This chapter has been completed!
