Nakamura Shun returned to the armored vehicle and stared at Leng Tiefeng gloomily.
"Don't look at me like this." Leng Tiefeng said, "I don't know either."
Nakamura Shun said: "Leng Sang, please tell me the truth. Is Xu Sang planning to annihilate the Kumamoto Division?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Nakamura-san, I told you very clearly just now. I don't know either, but I think if Lao Xu really changes his mind, I think he will notify you and me in time."
Nakamura Shun said: "You mean that Xu Sang doesn't intend to break his promise?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "As far as I know, Lao Xu has never broken his promise."
Nakamura Shun said: "But the problem is that the Kumamoto Division can no longer support it. Why don't you Daimeishan Independent Regiment give up? If we continue to fight, the Kumamoto Division will be completely destroyed."
Leng Tiefeng said: "I don't know about this."
While he was talking, the radio in the car suddenly started beeping.
There was a radio station in the armored vehicle. The driver and adjutant were all kicked out by Shun Nakamura. Leng Tiefeng sat in front of the radio station and copied down the radio signal. A pair of code pads were really sent by Xu Rui. The content only had two words.
:Attack!
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng put away the code book, took out his lighter and burned the telegram copy paper to ashes, and then said: "Nakamura-san, you can attack now!"
"Yo Xi." Nakamura Shun immediately turned around and got out of the car.
As soon as Nakamura Jun got out of the car, he saw Chief of Staff Maruyama Satoshi and several team captains approaching.
Maruyama Chi said urgently: "Your Excellency Colonel, the Condemnation Army Headquarters has sent an urging message for the sixth time!"
"Got it!" Shun Nakamura waved his hand and said, "Seeing that the Kumamoto Division was about to be completely wiped out, there was still no movement on the outside. This shows that the Dameishan Independent Regiment did not set up an ambush on the outside. This is not an encirclement point.
Call for reinforcements. Now, we can go to the rescue with confidence. We order the infantry brigades to deploy on the spot immediately! The artillery brigades are ready for artillery fire!"
"Hai!" Several infantry brigade captains and artillery brigade leaders nodded heavily, then turned around and hurried away.
Maruyama Satoshi stood next to Nakamura Shun and said gloomily: "I don't know if it's too late to attack now?"
"Maruyama-san, don't worry." Toshi Nakamura said confidently, "It's still too late. The Kumamoto Division will not be wiped out so easily."
Shun Nakamura certainly has this confidence.
However, Nakamura Jun's confidence does not come from his grasp of the Kumamoto division's combat effectiveness, but entirely from Xu Rui. However, Maruyama Satoshi does not know this, so it does not prevent Nakamura Jun from showing off.
"Nani?" Maruyama Satoshi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why is Colonel Colonel so sure?"
Nakamura Shun was already calm at this moment. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said: "I have carefully calculated the ammunition reserves and troop strength of the Kumamoto Division. After considering the combat effectiveness of the enemy and our armies, the Kumamoto Division can definitely
We persisted until around midnight, and it is now 11:30 at night, which means that the Kumamoto Division can hold on for at least another half hour."
Maruyama Satoshi was doubtful and then asked: "Your Majesty Colonel, since we have already arrived at the battlefield, why didn't we attack earlier? Can't the Kumamoto Division lose less?"
Nakamura Shun looked at Maruyama Satoshi with a strange look and said: "Maruyama-san, you claim to be a master of China, haven't you ever read the idiom story about the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting?"
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit?" Maruyama Chi heard this and was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he said, a hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face, and he added, "His Majesty Colonel, what you mean is that the Kumamoto Division is the snipe.
The Meishan Independent Regiment is a clam, but our independent 13th Brigade is a fisherman?"
Nakamura Shun nodded and added: "Stand still at such a close distance and watch the Kumamoto Division and the Dameishan Independent Regiment fight to the death. This move is indeed a bit cruel and inhumane, so just now you were black
Saki-san and Nagashima-san made sarcastic remarks to me, but I didn't take it to heart."
"Your Majesty Colonel, I actually..." Maruyama Satoshi wanted to explain.
"You don't have to explain." Shun Nakamura interrupted Maruyama Satoshi and added, "But from a military perspective, this is right. We can only use the Kumamoto Division to consume the Daimei Independent Regiment as much as possible and exhaust the Daimei Mountain Independent Regiment.
, we can ensure victory with one blow only by forming the 13th Brigade independently. After all, the Dameishan Independent Brigade is an extremely dangerous opponent."
"Hai, I admire His Excellency Colonel for his thoughtful thinking." Satoshi Maruyama now sincerely admires Toshi Nakamura. He no longer has the resistance and dissatisfaction he had before, but he still has something to think about.
Then he asked, "But Colonel, your Majesty, the Kumamoto Division has run out of ammunition, so aren't you worried that they won't be able to hold on?"
Nakamura Jun smiled slightly and continued: "This involves another idiom, a trapped beast still fights!"
"The trapped beast is still fighting?" Maruyama Satoshi said suddenly, "I understand the humble position. No wonder Colonel-General insisted on lying to the Kumamoto Division and said that our independent 13th Brigade was still thirty miles away. This was clearly to give them no hope and force them to
They fight tooth and nail with their opponents, so that they can not only consume more of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, but also encourage the Kumamoto Division to last longer!"
Nakamura Shun smiled slightly, his face full of the expression of having wisdom and confidence in his chest.
Maruyama Satoshi said sincerely: "His Majesty Colonel, you are like a god with your troops, Uesugi Kenshin is nothing more than that."
Kenshin Uesugi was a famous general during Japan's Warring States Period, and Satoshi Maruyama was a great compliment to Shun Nakamura.
"I dare not take Maruyama-san for such a compliment." Nakamura Shun waved his hands repeatedly, but he felt extremely grateful. He suddenly felt that being a spy seemed good. Xu Rui had never suffered a defeat against the Japanese army since he was born in Wuxi.
But this time he was "defeated" by his hand, Nakamura Jun. Based on this alone, he, Nakamura Jun, is enough to be proud of himself.
(Dividing line)
While Nakamura Shun and Maruyama Tomoe were chatting, Okabe Naosaburo was already preparing to commit seppuku.
Shigetori opened the tent curtain and walked into Naosaburo Okabe's tent. He saw that Naosaburo Okabe was already on his knees on a piece of white cloth. He also took off his woolen military uniform and wore only a shirt on his upper body.
All the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his entire abdomen, and a sharp saber lay across his knees.
"Division Commander?!" Shigetori Shigetori saw this, and his expression suddenly became tragic.
However, Shigetori did not step forward to stop him, because seppuku is the last and most sacred ritual for a samurai to restore his reputation. Others are not allowed to interfere for any reason. Shigetori Shigetori was just a little unwilling and a little scared. Okabe
Even Naozaburo committed seppuku, and he, the chief of staff, did not run away.
Okabe Naosaburo didn't raise his head, he just wiped his saber and said, "Shigeta-san, what's the matter?"
"Hai." Shigetori nodded heavily and said, "The captain of the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment, Hidemitsu Nakano, has just died for the empire. Also, the three infantry regiments and the cavalry regiment have been basically wiped out.
There are not many technical arms left such as artillery, baggage troops, engineers, and medical troops. Next, we can only mobilize the staff of the division and regiment headquarters."
"I understand." Naosaburo Okabe nodded, and then said, "Shigeta-san, I'll leave the rest to you."
After finishing speaking, Okabe Naosaburo held the blade of the sword with both hands, raised the cold saber, and pointed the sharp tip at his abdomen. However, after several attempts, Okabe Naosaburo did not have the courage to stab him.
, not only because he was afraid of pain, but also because with this stab, he would say goodbye to this prosperous world forever.
Shigetori Shigetori also said that Okabe Naosaburo was unwilling and said: "Division Commander, there will be no more miracles."
"Yes, no more miracles will happen." Naosaburo Okabe sighed softly, then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to stab, there was a sudden continuous explosion sound outside the tent, and Naosaburo Okabe
The saber in Saburo's hand immediately stopped in mid-air, with the tip less than half an inch from his abdomen.
"Shigeta-san, what's going on with this explosion?" Naosaburo Okabe asked in surprise.
"Yeah, what's the reason for this explosion?" Shigetori said blankly, "The Dameishan Independent Regiment has stopped shelling a long time ago, and the impact point of this shell seems to be quite far away from us. Hey,
This cannonball... does it sound like a 75-caliber mountain cannon? Yes, it is a 75-caliber mountain cannon!"
"Seventy-five caliber mountain artillery?" Naosaburo Okabe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reacted immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Okabe Naosaburo felt great joy in his heart. Could it be that reinforcements had arrived?!
However, Shigeta Shigenori had already opened the curtain and looked up anxiously. He saw that the position of the Dameishan Independent Regiment in front was already shrouded in red light and gunpowder smoke caused by the explosion of artillery shells. In the firelight, he could vaguely see
, Chinese soldiers were running around in shadows. It was obvious that the Chinese soldiers were in a panic.
"Haha!" Shigetori laughed immediately, "Division Commander, reinforcements are reinforcements. Our reinforcements have arrived. The 13th independent mixed brigade has arrived! We are saved. Haha, Division Commander, we are saved.
!”
Shigeta Shigenori was so excited that he jumped and screamed, but Okabe Naosaburo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Kumamoto Division suffered heavy losses in this raid, the responsibility does not lie with him, but with Shozo Kawabe. Therefore, as long as the Kumamoto Division's division headquarters and the wing headquarters of each regiment can be saved, he does not have to bear the responsibility.
Regardless of responsibility, he will still be the division commander of the Kumamoto Division until the replacement troops are returned.
Sheathing the sword, Naosaburo Okabe stood up.
Taking a deep breath of air-conditioning, Naosaburo Okabe sighed sincerely, it felt really good to escape from death.
Looking up again, I saw dots of fire appearing in the southwest, and they were overwhelmingly crushing towards Badou Town. Seeing this, Naosaburo Okabe's heart dropped completely. That's right.
There is absolutely no mistake, it is indeed the 13th independent mixed brigade that has arrived.
