The sun has fallen into the western sky, and the sky has become dark.
Accompanied by Shunsi Ogawara and Tamanosuke Ito, Akira Muto arrived at the Uakou Kempeitai garrison. The car the three of them were in had just entered the gate of the gendarmerie garrison when they saw a dozen trucks gliding through the parking lot.
Line up, in front of these dozen trucks are two rows of three-wheeled motorcycles.
Dozens of trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles are parked together, and the visual effect is quite shocking.
Because the penetration rate of motor vehicles in the Japanese army is not high, except for the Guards Division and the First Division, the other divisions, even the other fifteen permanent divisions, are not equipped with many vehicles.
"Okahara-san, how are you?" Muto Akira rushed to the trucks and motorcycles that were gliding away in the parking lot. He had a proud look on his face. In order to mobilize these nineteen trucks and thirty-six sidecars,
To build three-wheeled motorcycles, Muto Akira used a lot of connections and a lot of energy.
With these nineteen trucks and thirty-six three-wheeled motorcycles, he can transport three infantry squadrons plus an artillery squadron at a time to any desired location in a very short time. Of course, this
Not only in Pukou, but also in Fengyang Town, he mobilized as many as fifteen trucks and twenty-six tricycles.
As soon as the car stopped, a major trotted forward, snapped his feet and stood at attention.
"Your Excellency, Colonel!" Major put his feet back and stood at attention, bowing his head to Akira Muto who had just gotten out of the car.
Muto Akira returned the military salute and then introduced to Okahara: "This is Major Machida Yasuo, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Saga Regiment."
Machida Yasuo saluted Ogahara again: "Sir!"
Oluhara returned the military salute and said in a deep voice: "Machida-san, are you ready?"
"Hai." Machida Yasuo said after a heavy pause, "The 3rd Infantry Battalion is ready!"
"Yoshi." Ogawara Junsi nodded and said to Muto Akira, "Muto-san, all we can do next is wait, waiting for Xu Rui's Dameishan brigade to come and throw themselves into the trap."
Muto Zhang smiled slightly and said with pride: "Logically speaking, in order to ensure that this batch of military supplies can be safely transported to the Huaihe front line, I should hope that the Dameishan Brigade will not come. However, why do I hope that Dameishan Brigade will not come now?
Will the brigade come? Oluhara-san, do you think I'm a little proud?"
Xiaoluyuan Junsi then smiled slightly and said: "People must not be arrogant, but they must not be arrogant. Facing Xu Rui's Dameishan Brigade, if we just avoid the battle blindly, it will be too passive. If we can have a careful deployment,
You should fight against the Dameishan Brigade, Muto-san, you are not proud, but confident."
"Haha, you are right, it is confidence. The imperial army will win this battle!"
"Muto-san, we might as well go to the Military Police Headquarters and wait."
"Yoshi, let us wait here for the good news from the front line."
At that moment, Muto Akira, Ogahara, Ito Tamanosuke, Machida Yasuo and others laughed and walked to the military police headquarters, preparing to wait for the news here.
However, there is an old saying that goes like this: Extreme joy brings sorrow!
Not even half an hour after Muto Akira and others were happy, a communications staff officer from the military police hurried into the lounge with a telegram, and brought a telegram with no beginning or end.
Akira Muto took the telegram copying paper from the hands of the communications staff, and saw four words written on it: We were attacked.
We were attacked? What were we attacked? We were attacked by a squadron? How many troops were in the attacking squadron? What was the specific battle situation? Where was it attacked? Was the squadron's attack violent? But it was not written in these telegrams.
There are only four words on it, "We suffered", and then there is nothing more.
Muto Akira was completely confused. What the hell is this?
Okahara took the telegram from Akira Muto, but he was also confused.
Shaking the telegram copy paper, Xiaoluyuan asked: "Are you sure the signal was sent from the military column?"
"Hai." The communications staff officer paused and said, "The code is absolutely correct, it's the military station's radio station."
"That's weird." Muto Akira frowned and asked, "Why is there only such a half-sentence without beginning or end? What does it mean?"
"There are only two possibilities." The communications staff officer had obviously already thought of the answer and said in a deep voice, "One is that the military train's radio station only had time to send out half a set of signals before it was destroyed by the enemy; the other is that the military train's radio station's code and secret code
It has been deciphered and this set of signals was sent by the enemy to confuse the public."
Muto Akira said flatly: "The radio code and secret code cannot be deciphered."
There is a reason why Akira Muto is so confident that the radio code and secret code will not be deciphered. This is because the Central China Front Army just changed the new secret code two days ago. Therefore, let alone Xu Rui's Dameishan Brigade, it is the National People's Congress.
It is impossible for the government's Renaissance Society to decipher the new code so quickly.
"Then there is only one possibility left." The communications staff officer said, "The military radio station has been destroyed!"
"The military radio station has been destroyed?" Akira Muto sighed twice, and his expression suddenly changed.
The radio station of the military train was placed in one of the armored carriages. If the radio station was destroyed, wouldn't it mean that the armored carriage had also been destroyed? If even the armored carriages had been destroyed, wouldn't it mean that the military train had been destroyed?
Someone intercepted it? How could this happen? How could this happen? How could this happen?!
It shouldn’t, it shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be!
Muto Akira turned around and stared at Oluhara with gloomy eyes. His eyes seemed to be questioning Oluhara: Didn't you say that the security measures of the military column are foolproof?
"This is impossible!" Okahara Junsi jumped up like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, and said loudly, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the radio station is inside the armored carriage, and the steel plate of the armored carriage can withstand 20-caliber
The machine cannons, given the level of firepower of the China Army, would be impossible to blast away."
Speaking of this, four words suddenly flashed in Oluhara Junsi's mind: close attack!
Inertial thinking, damn inertial thinking. Because the firepower of the three armored carriages is powerful enough, coupled with the rotating turrets on the front and rear of the vehicle, the entire military column forms a closed fortress. Once the firepower is fully activated, unless the ammunition is exhausted,
, otherwise the squadron would never even think about getting close to the military column.
Because the firepower of the military column was powerful enough, Ogahara Junsi formed a mental inertia and ignored the possibility of being attacked by the squadron. However, is it really impossible for the squadron to attack at close range? Once the firepower is fully unleashed, once it is a
As a premise, what happens if it’s too late to use full firepower?
In an instant, Oluhara Junsi's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Unless..."
Ogawara Junsi's voice was very soft, but Muto Akira still heard it and immediately asked: "Unless what."
Oluhara Junsi's facial muscles twitched twice, his face became very ugly, and he said: "Unless you get close to attack."
"Close attack?" Akira Muto, who had not yet come out of his habitual thinking, said, "This is absolutely impossible. There are three armored carriages hidden in the military column, and each armored carriage is equipped with six Type 92 heavy machine guns. Faced with this
With so much firepower, how could the Chinese army get close to the military columns and attack at close range?"
"Muto-san, it's actually possible." Xiaolu said weakly, "If the squadron can kill the sentries at the front and rear of the car silently, they will have a chance to get to the roof of the armored car before it fully fires, and then they can
Launching a close-in attack from the roof, they can throw grenades into the compartment through the shooting hole, but the Type 92 heavy machine gun placed in the armored compartment cannot threaten the Chinese troops on the roof."
"Nani?" Muto Akira was stunned for a moment.
Akira Muto never expected that there would be such a fatal loophole in the seemingly impeccable security measures. If the squadron really launched a close attack like Okahara said, the seemingly powerful three armored carriages would not only play a role
If not powerful, it will become their biggest weakness.
"That's not right." Muto Akira was not a fool to become the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Army. He quickly discovered the problem and roared angrily, "That's not right either. Our confidentiality measures are to the extreme. China
People don’t even know there are three armored carriages like this, how could they prepare in advance?”
Indeed, if the squadron did not know the existence of the three armored carriages, then after stopping the military column, the first reaction would be to rush forward and open the carriages excitedly, instead of sending people to the roof to prepare to attack the military column from the roof.
Attack at close range, otherwise would the Chinese still be human beings? Wouldn’t they become gods who predict the future?
As a result, the three armored carriages would have the opportunity to use full firepower, and the squadron would have no chance to get on the roof, let alone carry out a close attack.
"This is exactly where I am confused." Oluhara took a deep breath and added, "However, Muto-san, now is not the time to explore this. The top priority is to dispatch Pukou, Fengyang and Pucheng quickly.
reinforcements, no matter what, there must be no mistakes in this batch of military supplies."
"Uh, right." Akira Muto woke up from his dream and quickly turned to Machida to tell him, "Machida-san, hurry up and get reinforcements!"
"Hai!" Machida Yasuo nodded heavily, turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he immediately turned back and asked with a grimace, "But, Colonel, where should reinforcements be sent?"
Isn't that right? The military radio station didn't even have time to report where it was attacked.
However, this was not difficult for Oluhara Junsi. Oluhara strode to the map, pointed at the map and said: "The military column is traveling at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. Judging from the time, it should have arrived at Huilonggou by now.
Nearby, yes, Huilonggou, it should be Huilonggou, you rush to rescue Huilonggou."
