At the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan, the military commander who was still sleeping was directly woken up by the chief of staff!
"Sir, something happened, something big happened in Lingqiu!"
"The Fujino Brigade is in urgent need of a call. The garrison will suddenly launch an attack on them tonight!"
Before the chief of staff finished speaking, the army commander cursed with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Bagya Road, the Fujino Brigade is a strengthened brigade, and it also concentrates its troops and is stationed together. The garrison has just gone through a big battle, regardless of the strength of the troops.
The combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. Even if the entire garrison is dispatched, the Fujino Brigade is still capable of repelling them, and maybe even severely injuring them. What's the point of reporting this?"
The chief of staff quickly explained: "Sir, I think so too!"
"But the real situation is completely different from our judgment!"
"Not only did the Fujino Battalion fail to repel the attack from the defense regiment, but they themselves were defeated and the entire army could be destroyed at any time!"
"This is a farewell telegram sent by Major Fujino himself. Before the telegram was received, the signal was cut off, and we couldn't contact them anymore!"
"Nani?" the commander stared with big eyes, his face full of disbelief!
Then he stood up from the bed, put on his military uniform and rushed to the war room. As he rushed, he ordered: "Where is the farewell telegram? Did it say why the garrison regiment was able to severely damage our reinforced brigade?"
"Hi!"
The chief of staff quickly handed over the electrical board and reported: "Major Fujino said in the telegram that the garrison regiment that attacked them only had two battalions at most, but they were equipped with a large number of heavy mortars with a caliber of at least 200 millimeters!"
"In the face of such a powerful super-large-caliber mortar, the turrets and machine gun bunkers held by the troops are all useless!"
"More than 70% of the entire Fujino brigade were killed by this super-large-caliber mortar!"
The military commander showed an expression of disbelief and retorted loudly: "This is impossible!"
"Not only is the Imperial Army not equipped with such a large-caliber mortar, but other countries are also rarely equipped with it! The Eighth Route Army has almost no ability to produce its own heavy weapons. Where did they get such a large-caliber mortar!"
"I do not believe!"
"Major Fujino must have suffered a defeat on the battlefield and deliberately invented this super-large-caliber mortar in order to shirk responsibility!"
"Perhaps the Eighth Route Army used some powerful homemade weapon, and Major Fujino mistakenly thought it was a super-large-caliber mortar!"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know what the specific situation is!"
"Our contact with the Fujino Brigade has been interrupted. We can only send a plane over after dawn to investigate and find out what happened there?"
Before the chief of staff finished speaking, the communications staff suddenly rushed over and interrupted, with a very ugly look on his face!
"Sir, there's an urgent call from the Honda brigade!"
"They were attacked by the garrison, and the garrison was equipped with super-large-caliber mortars. The troops suffered heavy casualties and the entire army could be destroyed at any time!"
"Nani?" the army commander grabbed the telegram and started browsing it!
The more I look at my face, the more embarrassed I become!
If only a telegram from Fujino said that the garrison regiment was equipped with super-large-caliber mortars, I would still have doubts!
Now that the two captains are saying this, even if they want to deny it, they can't find a reason!
All he could do was stare at his big, dumbfounded eyes and shout out loud: "How is this possible?"
"How could the Eighth Route Army be equipped with super-large-caliber mortars that the Imperial Army was not equipped with? Could it be that they have their own arsenal and can produce super-large-caliber mortars themselves!"
"Also! Who can tell me what this garrison wants to do!"
"How long has it been since then that he started to start a war again?"
"And as soon as they came up, they used super-caliber mortars we had never seen before to kill two of our reinforced brigades at once!"
When the commander was about to continue scolding, another communications staff officer hurried over, his face even more ugly than the communications staff officer just now!
"Sir! Urgent call from Murakami Brigade!"
"They were attacked by the garrison. The garrison was equipped with heavy artillery. The troops suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of reinforcements!"
The commander asked with wide eyes: "The Murakami Brigade was also attacked?"
"Including the Murakami Brigade, there are three infantry brigades. Do the garrison regiment want to eat our three brigades in one night?"
"By the way! You just said that the Murakami Brigade is just asking for help, and the entire army has not been destroyed yet! Can you still contact the Murakami Brigade and ask him to find out at all costs what the super-large-caliber mortar equipped by the garrison is?
thing!"
"Because of the existence of this weapon, the garrison can attack three of our brigades in one night and wipe out two of them!"
"This shows how powerful this weapon is and how big of a threat it poses to us! If we don't figure it out, we will suffer big losses when we face the defense group!"
"Hi!"
The communications staff officer rushed to the telecommunications room, and the chief of staff followed him!
At the station of the Murakami Brigade, He Jun, the commander of the first battalion, and Liu Senyun, the commander of the newly established special agent battalion, were squatting on the offensive position, staring at the battlefield without blinking!
The Japanese garrison is too big, the circular position is also large, and they have built two lines of defense, front and rear, so the troops are very scattered!
If an explosive pack hits it, even if it is powerful, it can only kill a few little devils. There is no way to bring out the powerful power of the flying thunder cannon!
He Jun had an idea and thought of driving away wolves and devouring tigers!
Concentrate all the troops and firepower of the two battalions, plus three flying thunder cannons, to create a hole in the Japanese defense line, forcing the Japanese to abandon the first-line position and retreat to the second-line position, which is also the last line of defense for the stronghold!
From the beginning of the attack to now, two people have been working hard on this for five hours!
With three hours left before dawn, the two people achieved their goal.
For more than 700 days, the puppet troops were all huddled on the second line of defense!
"Captain He, the Japanese and puppet troops are very concentrated now. If you pass a single explosive pack, you might be able to wipe out most of the squad!" Liu Senyun analyzed with eyes shining!
"We have twelve thunder cannons. I mean split them into four, place three in each direction, and fire at the same time!"
"After the first shot, move away, and then continue to fire the second shot!"
"Fire three explosive charges from each cannon, that's thirty-six explosive charges!"
"Even if one explosive pack only kills fifteen little Japs, the total of thirty-six explosive packs will amount to 500 days of puppet troops!"
He Jun quickly made a decision: "Let's fight like this!"
"Get the troops ready for the attack!"
"After all three rounds of explosive charges have been thrown, all buglers will blow the charge horn together, and all two battalions will launch an attack. The battle will be fought quickly and the battle will end as soon as possible!"
In the central turret of the stronghold, Major Murakami looked very scared!
Although there are still more than 700 people under his command, the secret weapon exposed by the garrison is so powerful that it explodes into a large area!
Facing the next offensive launched by the defense group, he has no confidence at all!
"Sir, there is an urgent message from the military headquarters: Let us find out the secret weapons equipped by the garrison at all costs, and then report it!" The operator ran over with a message in his hand and reported!
"How to figure it out!"
At this desperate moment of life and death, Major Murakami couldn't care less about his superiors and just cursed!
"We are tightly surrounded by the garrison. Nearly ten heavy machine guns are pointing at us, and there are dozens of light machine guns. If the troops rush out, they will die in vain. How to figure it out!"
"Call back to the military headquarters. Our unit was violently attacked by the garrison. The super-large-caliber heavy artillery they equipped was extremely powerful. We suffered heavy losses and are no longer able to launch a counterattack. Please ask for support!"
"Hi!"
The operator answered quickly! He was just about to turn around and return the telegram!
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of dull explosions suddenly sounded in the offensive position of the garrison!
Everyone rushed to the lookout, raised their telescopes, and wanted to see what happened!
"Rumble..."
Soon, huge fireballs five to six meters high appeared in their field of vision one after another, rising from the ground outside the turret!
Then the earth-shaking explosion reached their ears, making their ears buzz!
Major Murakami frowned, his face looked very ugly, and he even had a look of pain!
But what he didn't know was that a fatal attack had already hit his head!
"Rumble..."
A thunderous explosion sounded directly outside the turret!
As luck would have it, an explosive pack hit the side of the gun tower and exploded!
Before Major Murakami had time to react, a powerful shock wave poured in from the window and pushed him directly to the ground!
The moment a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, the whole person collapsed to the ground, making no sound!
The adjutant, the radio operator, and several officers from the headquarters were all spared. They were all shocked to death, bleeding from all their orifices, and collapsed motionless on the ground!
When the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan returned to the war room, his expression was extremely embarrassing!
Under the gaze of the commander, he hesitated for a long time before he answered bravely: "Sir, we have also lost contact with the Murakami Brigade!"
"I judge that they should also be eaten by the garrison!"
Three infantry brigades were wiped out in one night. Even though he had tens of thousands of elite men under his command, the commander could not bear such a rate of loss!
What's more important is that all three teams were defeated inexplicably, and they didn't even understand the specific reasons!
He opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't curse!
Facing the garrison regiments that brought huge losses to the imperial army one after another, the commander felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness!
Seeing that the military commander didn't speak for a long time, the chief of staff couldn't help but asked: "Sir, what should we do next!"
"Check, find out what is the secret weapon equipped by the garrison?"
"Until this matter is clarified, no one or any unit can take the initiative to attack the garrison and provoke a war!"
"I don't want to hear anymore about where the imperial army was killed by the secret weapons equipped by the garrison!"
"Also, report this matter to the front army headquarters immediately!"
"Faced with the powerful secret weapons of the garrison, we must have equivalent heavy weapons to kill them! Otherwise, no matter how many imperial troops we kill, we will die and give the garrison military merits in vain!"
