Chapter 339 Represents Killing Instead of Blessing
PS: During the National Day, I want to take my daughter out to play. Book friends, please let Fengyue rest for a few days. During this period, I will return to 2 updates a day. I will save my strength for the next update. I wish book friends a happy holiday again.
The first time they were released was during the day today, and then they lost a brigade commander and a regiment commander, and the rest of the officers and soldiers suffered even more casualties.
So what do the Chinese want to do this time? Or, in other words, what bad luck will the gadget invented by the Chinese ancestors bring them?
Any Japanese soldier who saw the Kongming Lantern rising high again could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
I'm afraid only His Excellency Nishi Yiichi's expression has not changed at all.
In fact, no matter how much he tried to change, Nishi Yiichi's face couldn't get any worse.
The second son of the Genji family, the most powerful noble family in the empire, was killed in battle under the command of Nishi Giichi.
Nishi Yiichi's little heart! When he heard Terube Tanibe bring this news to him with a dejected expression, it was already on the verge of being broken. He didn't even get angry and just sat there blankly in the headquarters.
A full hour.
Even half an hour ago, Lengkou was captured. The 14th Mixed Brigade and the 33rd Mixed Brigade were about to attack the Xifengkou defenders from both sides. There would be no accidents. This unique Chinese army in front of him was unable to fly.
The good news couldn't even arouse the slightest joy in Xiyi.
Minamoto Yoshijiro's death in battle made Nishi Yoshiichi even more desperate than a defeat.
At that moment, what he hated was not the Chinese. What he hated was actually the pushy fool Minamoto Yoshijiro. Ever since that man came to the Kwantung Army with the title of the second son of the direct line of the Minamoto family, even the grooms of the Kwantung Army knew
He came to get gold, to play, to travel, to appreciate the customs and customs of China.
You can get a promotion and a salary increase when you return home on a public trip. Regardless of that dynasty or country, this was the exclusive preserve of those at the top of the pyramid. The Japanese, who have become accustomed to class differences, understand this very well.
Naturally, the position assigned to this "Japanese second generation" is very safe and leisurely. There may be no more enjoyable job than the duty officer of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Except for General Muto, the commander of the Kwantung Army, no one can take care of him.
Don't care about him.
Everyone in the Kwantung Army is preparing to imprison this man and wait for half a year. Once he returns home, everyone will be in peace. By the way, he can also gain favor from the Genji family, which is great.
But this idiot Yoshijiro Minamoto! He has to go to the grassroots level to be a commander. In his words, he is here to serve His Majesty the Emperor, so he must go to the most difficult place. Well, there is nothing wrong with this, and it is very important.
The name of the Emperor is also irrefutable.
Especially since this guy still has some skills. His aristocratic upbringing did not make him too dandy. His superb karate fighting and one-sword sword skills are famous in the Eighth Division.
When the battle with Luo Wenyu began, Xiyi would not let this man go to the front line despite being confused. He wanted to deploy his infantry squadron to guard the headquarters. Who knew that this guy had committed another crime? He actually disobeyed military orders and refused to come to report.
, he was responsible for the final attack in this afternoon battle and took the lead into the Chinese positions.
As a result, he achieved great success in battle. He killed at least six Chinese soldiers with his command knife, which was as sharp as clay.
However, his life was also spared.
Thinking of the gloomy face of the leader of the Minamoto clan, Nishi Yiichi wished he had died on that battlefield. Even though Nishi Yiichi, the lieutenant general division commander, was very awesome here with Luo Wenyu, his face changed, and everyone was stunned
He is extremely silent, but if compared with the big guys in Kyoto, he is really a small fry.
The gap is like comparing a small division commander to the top leaders of the future Republic.
Even the routine shelling after the attack failed was gone. Of course, it's not that Minamoto Yoshijiro was so awesome that he didn't even dare to destroy the corpses of the Eighth Division, but the Japanese army didn't have many artillery shells.
Already.
By this time, not only the independent regiment was exhausted and crumbling, but the powerful Japanese army was also suffering from heavy casualties and wounded soldiers. The cannon, the magic weapon for defeating the enemy, was about to turn into a pile of scrap metal.
A cannon without shells is not even as useful as a rifle.
Fortunately, at noon tomorrow, the First Division of the Fengtian Independent Brigade will return with enough baggage. This is the only reason Xi Yiyi can comfort himself at the moment and continue to stay at Luo Wenyu Pass without moving.
No matter what, we must annihilate all the thousands of Chinese in front of us, otherwise, the Eighth Division will bear eternal shame.
But now, what are the Chinese people up to? Xiyi walked to the door with a gloomy face, looking up at the Kongming Lantern that had turned into a small bright spot in the night sky, like a shining star hanging in the black and gloomy sky, with a look on his face.
His muscles twitched unsightly.
The Kong Ming Lantern is no stranger to Nishi Yiichi who is familiar with Chinese history. The wise man Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms period in China made this lantern to convey messages to the army. The Kong Ming Lantern was born for killing, not for bullshit blessings.
Nishiyi's hand on the handle of the command knife tightened violently, remembering the reminder once given by Chief of Staff Terube Tanibe, could the Chinese be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain? You know, it was precisely because of their sneak attack on the artillery brigade that
As a result, the entire fourth brigade was shattered. Now, will they repeat their same tricks?
"Have all the infantry squadrons who went out to search come back? If they haven't come back, quickly notify them to come back and not stay five miles away from the main position." Nishi Yiichi asked.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you ordered them to bring enough supplies. The search area has been expanded to the surrounding thirty miles." The captain of the 8th Division who was responsible for the security reminded with a grimace.
He also saw that the division commander obviously regretted his impulse at noon and wanted to strengthen the defense. However, this was really impossible! The Japanese infantry captain was wailing in his heart.
Why can't it be done? The reason is very simple. The Japanese are not rich either. When the European powers have enriched radio stations to company-level units, and even the Americans even have radio stations for a combat platoon, the two countries with the highest force value in Asia
Countries---Japan and China, however, have only enriched the most important communication tool, radio, into regiment-level combat units.
In other words, only troops at the brigade level in the Japanese army are equipped with radio stations. As for squadrons and squads below the brigade, if they want to transmit messages, they can only rely on their legs and mouth. This is the job of the communications corps.
Moreover, not only do they not pay attention to communication hardware, they are also scumbag in terms of software. The Japanese have such a poor awareness of the confidentiality of messages that not to mention the European and American powers, even China, can decipher their messages from time to time, thereby making military decisions.
Adjustment.
Just because of the huge disparity in combat effectiveness, the Japanese army did not suffer much loss due to communication problems on the Chinese battlefield. However, on the Pacific battlefield, the news that the future naval admiral Yamamoto Isoroku Yamamoto inspected the fleet was precisely because the message was deciphered.
As a result, he was ambushed and hunted by dozens of fighter planes.
Now, it is basically an impossible task to notify more than 20 teams that have been dispersed 20 miles away to come back.
"Baga, then order Major General Matsuda Kunisan to deploy an infantry squadron to protect the heavy artillery brigade, quickly." Nishiyi's face darkened, and he turned around and entered the headquarters without saying a word.
It was obviously a little late for Xiyi to wake up.
He could not see that in a cave four miles away from the heavy artillery brigade and the 8th Artillery Regiment, three hundred fully armed Chinese soldiers were lining up.
