Banshi Town, the frontline headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Little Japanese Army.
Yamashita Fengfumi has returned to his headquarters from the forward observation post.
In order to direct the Seventh Army's raid on the Hunchunling base area nearby, Yamashita Fengwen had moved his Seventh Army headquarters from Hunchun County to Banshi Town.
What is surprising is that Miura Takayuki is also in the frontline headquarters.
As time went by, the battle reports of each main division were reported to the headquarters one after another. Based on the reports of each sub-main division, the combat staff of the headquarters inserted small triangular red flags on the simulated sand table. Each triangle here
The small red flag represents an infantry brigade, and a total of more than 20 small red flags have been planted on the sand table.
Judging from the sand table, the three main divisions of the Seventh Army have basically advanced to the blockade line where they were stationed during the first sweep. This was also the goal set by Yamashita Fengfumi before the war. The old Japanese are still
They are very pragmatic and do not expect to advance to Wujiashan in one go. As long as they can advance to the blockade, they will be satisfied.
Of course, advancing to the blockade that was stationed during the first sweep was just a small goal on the first level. It is not difficult to achieve this small goal, because in the first sweep more than three months ago, both
Even without special operations divisions participating in the battle, the Seventh Army has also accomplished this! Similarly, even if there are no special operations divisions participating in the battle this time, the main divisions of the Seventh Army are still capable of pushing the front to the blockade.
!
The real challenge is how to stand firm after several main divisions advance to the blockade?
During the first sweep, several main divisions suffered heavy casualties in the day-and-night special operations of the Langya Brigade because they could not stand firm in front of the blockade. In the end, they had no choice but to withdraw from the mountain! But this time, for the first time, they
The Seventh Army finally has a special operations division to participate in the battle. This time, the Seventh Army can finally gain a firm foothold in front of the blockade, right?
Whether the Seventh Army can gain a firm foothold in front of the blockade, the performance of the special operations division is crucial!
At that moment, Yamashita Fengwen turned to Miura Takayuki and said: "Miura-kun, your special operations division failed to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Langya troops. This was actually what I expected. I am not afraid of your anger.
Frustrating words, in fact, I never expected your special operations division to be able to defeat the Wolf Fang Troops!"
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki nodded heavily, his face flushed.
"Miura-kun, you don't actually need to feel embarrassed about this!" Yamashita Fengfumi waved his hand and said, "The Spike Troops once defeated the German Brandenburg Special Forces on the Finnish battlefield, but you are just Brandenburg.
They are just special forces trained by a second-rate instructor of the Fort Special Forces. It is normal that they cannot defeat the Wolf Fang Force."
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki paused. Although he wanted to defend Marcos a few words, saying that he was actually the elite of Brandenburg's special forces and was by no means a second-rate person! However, he swallowed the words hard when he reached his lips.
, because Marcos did suffer a loss in the previous battle with the Wolf Fang snipers.
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "However, the next step is the long-term siege and blockade of Hunchunling, which requires your special operations division to attack with all its strength. If you don't have your special operations division to contain the Langya troops,
It is impossible for the main division to gain a firm foothold in Hunchun Ridge, do you understand?"
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki paused and said, "I understand my humble position."
"Yo Xi!" Yamashita Fengwen said happily, "Go ahead."
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki paused again, then turned around and walked away.
Watching Miura Takayuki's figure go away, Kobayashi Asaburo stepped forward and said to Yamashita Tomofumi: "Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the results of this morning's battle, the special operations division is no match for the Wolf Fang Force.
So I don’t think that the special operations division can contain the Wolf Fang troops.”
"Why don't I know this?" Yamashita Fengwen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But it doesn't matter, we don't need the special operations division to contain the Langya troops for too long, as long as they can contain them for ten and a half days
About a month will be enough, as long as the Wolf Fang troops are not allowed to come out and cause trouble within half a month!"
"Hai!" Kobayashi Asaburo said after a serious pause, "Your Excellency, Commander, in accordance with your instructions, I have dispatched all the military police of the Lin Agency and the Manchurian Army from the three counties of Tumen, Yanji, and Wangqing.
A large-scale recruitment of civilian laborers, if nothing unexpected happens, the first batch of civilian laborers should arrive within three days."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, and then continued, "But Mr. Xiaolin, there is a certain degree that you must grasp. The conscripted civilians cannot be allowed to be lazy, but they cannot be abused too much, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Fengtian Battle.
!Do you understand? I don’t want to be the second to Ishihara Wanji! Do you understand?”
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused again.
…
After nightfall, the mountains and old forests that had been noisy all day finally fell silent.
The temperature on the Hunchun Ridge at night was very low, even as low as more than 20 degrees below zero, but even in the face of such severe cold, the little devils who stood on the ground did not dare to light a fire to keep warm!
Because more than half of the three Japanese divisions participating in the blockade participated in the first raid more than three months ago, the shadow of the Spike Force still remains in the memories of these Japanese veterans! Because of this, not only
He didn't dare to light a fire, and he didn't allow the recruits to light a fire to keep warm!
Why don't you dare to light a fire? Because you are worried that you will become a sniper target of Wolf Fang snipers!
It was impossible to light a fire for warmth, and the fortifications built in the previous first raid were basically destroyed by the new regiment. Not even a foxhole was left, so the Japanese of the three divisions who penetrated deep into Hunchun Ridge
The soldiers could only shiver in the shallow snow nest dug during the day. Because of the tight time, they only had time to dig a snow nest.
But fortunately, the logistics department of the Japanese Far Eastern Front prepared a large amount of blankets and soju.
With the help of blankets and soju, the severe cold on Hunchun Ridge at night was not insurmountable. What really frightened the Japanese veterans of the three main divisions was the night attack of the Langya troops! Although they were not fighting alone this time,
Instead, there is a so-called special operations division, but to be honest, they really have no confidence in the special operations division.
So after nightfall, the Japs veterans of the three main divisions all opened their eyes wide. Even though it was pitch black ahead and they couldn't see anything, they still tried their best to look forward. While looking,
They also clenched the 38 big cover tightly with both hands. If there is any trouble ahead, they will fire decisively!
Facing the ferocious Wolf Fang, the only purpose of the Japanese veteran is to kill the wrong one rather than let him go!
In a word, compared with the first raid on Hunchunling, the Japanese soldiers of the three main divisions participating in the war had to wait much later, and at the same time they were much more miserable!
However, what is even more difficult are the more than 3,000 Japanese special forces of the special operations division!
The Japanese soldiers of the main division can at least wrap themselves in blankets, huddle in the snow to keep warm, and drink soju when they are cold, but the more than 3,000 Japanese special forces of the special operations division have to brave the severe cold at night and lurk quietly.
, because I was worried that it would make some noise and expose the target to Wolf Fang, I didn’t even dare to move!
But it should be noted that the hardships of the Japanese special forces of the special operations division were not in vain.
It is precisely because there are more than 3,000 Japanese special forces lurking in the dense forest in front of the blockade, acting as the first defensive barrier, that it becomes almost impossible for the Langya Brigade to attack the main Japanese division at night! In terms of combat effectiveness,
Of course, the Japanese special forces of the special operations division are not enough, but they are more than enough to serve as forward security posts.
As a result, gunshots rang out in the dense forest ahead all night long. The Japs veterans of the three main divisions guarding the blockade were on tenterhooks all night long. However, until daybreak, no one penetrated in to attack them.
The barrier woven by the special operations division actually blocked the penetration of Wolf Fang.
However, the special operations division did not do all this without cost.
After daybreak, with the support of the heavy firepower of the main division, the special operations division successfully got rid of the entanglement of the Wolf Fang and was able to treat the wounded and evacuate the dense forest. As a result, the Japanese veterans of the three main divisions saw something
Teams of special forces with tired looks and strange attire came out of the dense forest. There were also many seriously injured special forces who were carried out on stretchers by their comrades.
Miura Takayuki and Chief of Staff Asahi Tsunoda stood at the gate of the special operations division's camp to welcome the returning special forces. They saw groups of special forces returning in a state of exhaustion, especially those lying on stretchers.
After knowing the life and death of the special forces, the two old devils immediately changed their expressions. So many people were killed or injured in just one night? The price is too high, right?
"Division Commander!" Tsunoda Asahi took a breath of air and turned to Miura Takayuki, "I just did a rough count. At least 500 people were injured, and at least 300 of them were broken into pieces!"
Miura Takayuki's facial muscles immediately began to twitch violently.
In one night, there were 500 casualties, of which more than 300 were killed!
If this loss frequency is followed, their special operations division can basically be decommissioned in ten days at most!
"Baga Yalu!" Miura Takayuki cursed through gritted teeth, "The damn Wolf Fang troops actually caused such heavy losses to our special operations division in one night. It's simply too much!"
"Hai!" Tsunoda Asahi paused heavily and continued, "The losses of our special operations division are indeed too great. The only hope now is that the Langya troops also suffered heavy casualties last night. Otherwise, our special operations division will suffer heavy casualties."
The division can't hold on for too long at all, and ten days at most is already the limit!"
Miura Takayuki's eyes flashed and he asked: "Kakuda-kun, do you think this is possible?"
"This..." Tsunoda Asahi was at a loss for words after hearing this, and after a long while he said in a depressed voice, "Although I am very reluctant to let others have ambitions and destroy my own prestige, if nothing happens, Lang Ya suffered a heavy blow last night.
The possibility of serious casualties is probably very slim, or even impossible."
