After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "If it's just sulfur bombs, it's actually nothing, because when the little Japs throw sulfur bombs for bombing, the brothers in the Fifth Battalion can still hide for a while, but they are afraid of the old Japs Yamashita Fengwen
He is also anxious, and like that old devil Ishihara Wan'er, he resorts to the tactics of burning both the stone and the stone."
At this time, a voice sounded faintly: "If this is really the case, the Fifth Battalion will be in big trouble!"
Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng looked back, but Wang Husheng had already woken up and was staring at the smoke column to the north.
Leng Tiefeng sighed softly and added: "The biggest difficulty is that the fifth battalion must hold on to Yanji County for at least three days, because the main force of the regiment is marching too slowly, and it will take at least three days to cover the two hundred miles and enter.
Hunchun County, this has not yet considered the unfavorable factors of the Japanese sending cavalry to bypass Yanji County to attack."
Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice: "If Yamashita Feng Wenxue Shiyuan Wan'er resorts to the tactics of death, the Fifth Battalion will never be able to hold on for three days in Yanji County, at most two days! Even less than two days!"
Xu Rui's conclusion is well-founded because He Guangming's first battalion defended Tieling as a reference.
He Guangming's first battalion was superior to Shi Changqing's fifth battalion in terms of strength, equipment, morale, and quality of officers and soldiers. What's more, the first battalion had been recharging its strength for a long time and was at its peak. At this time,
The fifth battalion had just experienced a dense forest march of more than 500 miles. The entire battalion officers and soldiers were exhausted and trapped.
But even this first battalion lost Tieling in two days due to the enemy's deadly tactics!
Of course, the Japanese took civilians as hostages during the Tieling defense battle, which was also a very important factor, but even without this factor, He Guangming's First Battalion would never have been able to hold on for three days in Tieling!
Therefore, Shi Changqing's fifth battalion could hold out in Yanji County for at most two days.
This is still an optimistic estimate, and there is a high probability that it will not take more than two days.
Wang Husheng said with a worried face: "What should we do? Otherwise, send another battalion to Yanji County?"
"It's useless." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said in a low tone, "The main force of our regiment is now at the end of its strength. Just marching is enough. In this case, let alone transferring a battalion, even the main force of the regiment is completely exhausted.
If we are transferred to Yanji County, I'm afraid it won't change any results, and we can still only hold the county seat for two days."
Wang Husheng frowned and said, "What should we do?"
Xu Rui said: "Don't worry, let me think about it."
…
Liuhe County, headquarters of the Japanese Far Eastern Army.
Asaburo Kobayashi walked into the war room with a battle report and said to Yamashita Fengfumi: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 57th Division has sent over the detailed battle report of the Battle of the Thin Scale Valley."
After finishing speaking, Asaburo Kobayashi handed over the battle report.
While Yamashita Fengfumi was reading the battle report, Kobayashi Asaburo continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a situation that is beyond our expectations. According to the description of the officers and soldiers who survived the encounter in the Thin Scale Valley, although the main force of the new regiment
He was rescued by the Langya Brigade, but the situation is not optimistic."
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "In the process of breaking into pieces and passing through the deep mountains and old forests, the harsh jungle environment and natural conditions caused serious attrition to the troops of the New Regiment. Not only did the wounded accompanying the army suffer a large number,
Fever and infection symptoms have spread across the country, and even originally healthy officers and soldiers have experienced widespread attrition."
"Sodega." Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice with his eyes shining brightly, "This situation was really unexpected."
Kobayashi Asaburo nodded and continued: "Yes, we thought that the harsh jungle environment would cause serious delays in the march of the New Regiment, but we did not expect that it would also cause a large-scale attrition of the New Regiment.
!Now the marching speed of the new regiment is bound to be even slower, and maybe they haven’t even left the Thin Scale River Valley yet!”
Yamashita Fengwen immediately turned around and asked Zhihe Zhongji: "His congratulations, did the aviation reconnaissance find anything?"
"We haven't found anything yet." A look of embarrassment flashed across Shiga Zhongji's face, and then he said, "However, I have sent several additional reconnaissance planes to conduct a comprehensive search of the area south of the Xilin River Valley. If there is a new
The main force of the regiment has left the Thin Scale River Valley and will definitely be discovered by a reconnaissance plane."
Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to strengthening reconnaissance at night."
"Hai!" He Zhongzhi said after a meal, "I will make arrangements with my humble position."
Yamashita Tomofumi turned back to Kobayashi Asaburo and said: "Kobayashi-kun, let's continue the discussion just now. If the main force of the new regiment really slows down its march due to large-scale attrition, then perhaps our pursuit and annihilation regiment will still have a chance to win in the map.
Stop the new group in our county!"
"Hai!" Kobayashi Asaburo Hayi said again and again, "Now, it doesn't seem to matter even if the 180th Infantry Regiment cannot recapture the Wujiashan Fortress."
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen said, "Wujiashan Fortress must be recaptured!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "I just made a mistake, Wujiashan Fortress must be recaptured!"
At this time, Yamashita Fengwen suddenly came to his senses and asked: "Mr. Xiaolin, based on what you said just now, is there something going on with the 180th Infantry Regiment?"
"Hai." Asaburo Kobayashi said after a pause, "Today it rained heavily in Chongjin City. Flash floods destroyed the road from Chongjin County to Najin County. The march of the 180th Infantry Regiment was greatly hindered.
, However, the engineering troops are racing against time to repair bridges and roads, and the 180th Infantry Regiment will surely arrive at Luojin by tomorrow evening at the latest!"
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen said with a livid face, "This is really a fate. Fortunately, there is an unexpected situation on the side of the New Regiment. Even if the 180th Infantry Regiment cannot recapture it before tomorrow evening
Wujiashan Fortress, it is absolutely impossible for the main force of the new regiment to enter Hunchun County before this, otherwise, the imperial army will really fall short this time!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi nodded heavily and said, "This is called God helping the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army will definitely win!"
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen said happily, "However, Yanji County must be captured as soon as possible, and the 38th Division is ordered to continue the tactics of sharing the same fate. Yanji County only has a small unit of the New Regiment, which is at best
A battalion, I want to see how long Xu Rui’s battalion can last? Huh!”
…
It is not known how long Shi Changqing's fifth battalion can hold out, but the 15th company is about to be unable to hold on.
"Kill!" Liu Yiming thrust forward and knocked the Japanese in front of him to the ground. When he looked around again, he found that most of the Japanese infantry who broke into his position had been knocked down. Only six or seven Japanese soldiers were left huddled back to back, still standing.
After resisting stubbornly, Liu Yiming took a breath and was about to order the brothers surrounding the Japs to fight quickly. Suddenly, there was a shrieking sound of artillery shells in the air above his head.
Not far nearby.
"Fuck, here we go again!" Liu Yiming howled, and immediately jumped into the ruins of a house on the street.
Almost the moment Liu Yiming's body fell into the ruins of a civilian house, dozens of artillery shells roared down and exploded, covering six or seven Japanese soldiers and a dozen officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion who were fighting.
, with such an explosion density and intensity, those officers and soldiers would probably melt even if they were made of iron.
When the smoke from the explosion cleared, Liu Yiming crawled out from the ruins of the house and found that the street corner that had just been crowded with three rows of officers, soldiers and Japanese was no longer a human being. There were quite a few more people in the rubble that was still smoking.
Broken limbs and mutilated bodies demonstrate the coldness and cruelty of this battlefield.
"A long row?!" Liu Yiming immediately wailed loudly, "Old pig?!"
A low response sounded from the pile of rubble in front of him. Liu Yiming immediately rushed forward, then used his hands and feet to open up the broken wall. Not long after digging, he dug out a head in the rubble, even though his face was covered with gray.
, but Liu Yiming still recognized it at a glance, it was Zhu Gaoyuan, the platoon leader of the third platoon of the 15th company.
As soon as his head showed up, Zhu Gaoyuan took a deep breath greedily, but because of the dust he inhaled, he coughed violently and had a heart-breaking cough. Liu Yiming quickly patted his shoulder and back to calm him down for a long time.
, Zhu Gaoyuan finally came to his senses, then looked around and immediately started crying.
"Damn it, where are the people? Where have they gone?" Zhu Gaoyuan cried and started to call the names in a hoarse voice, "Old camel? Little boy? Big meng? Second-rate son? Xiaojiu? Sixi..."
Naturally no one responded, only the surrounding houses were still crackling and burning.
Liu Yiming's eyes also dimmed. After the battle, only Zhu Gaoyuan was left in the third platoon. The situation in the first platoon and the second platoon was not much better. Now all the people alive in the whole company were added up.
There are less than fifty people. Maybe the next time the Japanese attack, after another round of shelling, their entire fifteenth company will be martyred.
But even so, Liu Yiming didn't flinch at all.
Again, from the day they put on this military uniform, they have regarded themselves as dead people and have never thought about returning home alive! Little devil, come on, just come here! As long as our fifteenth company of the new regiment
There is still one person here, so don’t even think about passing through Beicheng District of Yanji County! Don’t even think about passing by!
Suddenly, another group of Japs appeared on the street corner ahead.
Liu Yiming smiled solemnly and called together the remaining brothers in the company and all the lightly and seriously wounded. He first gave each seriously injured a grenade, and then ordered all the officers and soldiers who could still charge to mount their bayonets. Following Xu Rui's instructions, the new
Even if a regiment of soldiers dies, they will definitely die on the way to charge!
