In less than half an hour, the chief of staff who had been guarding the telecommunications room rushed over very quickly.
"General, the heavy artillery brigade has sent a telegram again. In addition to the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment, they are also attacked by the garrison regiment's most elite commandos and reconnaissance companies."
"The enemy and we are now fighting each other, and the troops have suffered heavy losses. If the reinforcements cannot arrive on the battlefield within half an hour, they will be doomed!"
Nakata Yamaro stared at the chief of staff and asked: "How could it be so fast?"
"I remember that the heavy artillery brigade was protected by a semi-infantry brigade. How could it not be able to stop even a cavalry battalion? Are their mobile guns all fire sticks? There are also light and heavy machine guns. They are the nemesis of the cavalry. As long as they fire in time, the Eighth Route Army will be defeated.
Even if a cavalry regiment is dispatched, they cannot break through their interception."
The chief of staff quickly explained: "Half of the brigade's veterans were dragged to other battlefields by the garrison regiment's reconnaissance company and were unable to reinforce and protect the heavy artillery brigade."
"The remaining brigade is a supplementary brigade, which has almost no actual combat experience and is not equipped with heavy weapons."
"In front of the cavalry, they can't even protect themselves, let alone protect the heavy artillery brigade."
"In addition, the most mysterious commando team of the garrison also participated in the battle and hid beside us to cover the cavalry attack on us."
Nakata Yamaro was anxious and immediately asked: "Where are the reinforcements? Are there any troops nearby that can reinforce the battlefield within half an hour? Kill them immediately. The heavy artillery brigade is our trump card. It is the confidence to suppress the artillery fire of the garrison. There must be no accidents."
"
"There is only one garrison squadron!" the chief of staff replied hesitantly.
"The humble post has ordered them to abandon their stronghold, assemble all troops, and march urgently to reinforce the battlefield!"
"Too little!" Nakata Yamaro replied, shaking his head.
"The garrison regiment has a cavalry battalion, as well as two elite reconnaissance companies and assault teams. If a garrison squadron kills them, it will only lead to death, and it will add military merit to the garrison regiment in vain, and it will not have any effect."
"Order all garrisons within a radius of thirty kilometers to abandon their strongholds and march urgently to reinforce the heavy artillery brigade."
"If we go too late and Lieutenant Colonel Furuta and the troops under his command are wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, we must snatch back the lost heavy artillery."
"The Eighth Route Army lacks heavy weapons and will definitely be reluctant to destroy those heavy artillery pieces after acquiring them. It is too difficult to hide more than a thousand kilograms of artillery in a short period of time, so as long as the troops arrive on the battlefield in time, we still have a chance."
"Contact the aviation force and dispatch aircraft immediately after dawn to reinforce the heavy artillery battalion and Yamamoto Regiment."
"If it really comes to the point where it cannot be saved, the aviation force must destroy these heavy artillery."
"The reason why the garrison is as strong as it is today is that it is equipped with more artillery than even a regiment of the Imperial Army. All of them were given to them by the Imperial Army on the battlefield."
"We must not repeat the mistakes of the past."
"Those heavy artillery are too powerful. Once they fall into the hands of the garrison and are used by them, our three-way mopping up force that is attacking them will be in danger."
"So, we must be prepared to live in ruins rather than in ruins."
The chief of staff did not immediately carry out the order. He hesitated and asked: "General, should the other two reinforcements to reinforce the Yamamoto Regiment be divided into reinforcements for the heavy artillery brigade?"
Nakata Yamaro was silent.
This is a big problem.
The heavy artillery brigade is in danger. As expected, the real target of the garrison tonight must be them.
But the situation at Yamamoto United is not optimistic either.
Facing the fierce artillery attack from the garrison, they also suffered heavy casualties.
Under this situation, he couldn't figure out what the real purpose of the garrison was tonight? The Yamamoto Regiment, the Heavy Artillery Battalion, or both.
If it is a heavy artillery brigade, if the Yamamoto regiment moves, the garrison attacking them will definitely block it with all their strength. It will never be possible to reinforce the heavy artillery brigade in time, and it will lose troops and generals.
If it were to take both, the movement of Yamamoto's unit would give the garrison the opportunity to eliminate them during the movement.
You know, compared to positional warfare, the garrison is better at mobile warfare.
After much deliberation, Li Hao decided that the Yamamoto United team would not move and each would fight its own way.
If the target of the garrison is the heavy artillery brigade, then you can take the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the garrison.
If a heavy artillery brigade can be exchanged for the entire garrison to be wiped out, I won't suffer a loss in this deal.
If the garrison intends to take advantage of both, then you should take the opportunity to kill the main force of the garrison and let each of them fight their own way.
"The Yamamoto Regiment did not move, continued to show weakness, and got into a melee with the garrison to hold them back."
"Tell Mr. Yamamoto to prevent the Eighth Route Army from withdrawing from the battlefield at all costs."
"The Jingbian Regiment continued to reinforce the Yamamoto Regiment. After arriving at the battlefield, it immediately surrounded the Eighth Route Army there and cut off their retreat."
"Without the heavy artillery brigade, we still have planes. As long as we hold on until dawn and the planes come over, we will win this battle."
"The Watanabe Regiment will turn immediately to reinforce the heavy artillery brigade."
"Judging from the current situation, Lieutenant Colonel Furuta will definitely not be able to save the heavy artillery brigade. Now I just hope that they will continue to persist and buy more time for the reinforcements."
"After the Watanabe Wing arrived on the battlefield, they would snatch back our lost heavy artillery from the garrison at all costs. If it is not possible, then contact the aviation force to destroy those heavy artillery."
"kill……"
A cavalryman raised his saber high and controlled his horse to leap in front of Lieutenant Colonel Furuta.
The two guards guarding Gutian showed murderous looks on their faces, staring with red eyes, and rushed towards the cavalry with the bayonets of their rifles ready, giving the captain time to move.
"Ah... Baga..."
The sword flashed, and one of the Japs screamed and fell to the ground, a blood mark appeared on his neck, and blood gushes out like a fountain.
The other Japs dodged the cavalry, but it was too difficult to kill the fast-attacking cavalry with their rifles, so they detonated the grenade in their hands without hesitation.
"boom……"
The grenade was held high in the hands of the little devil and exploded less than two meters away from the cavalry. The sharp fragments easily penetrated the bodies of the cavalry and war horses.
The cavalryman fell. Faced with death at close range, Lieutenant Colonel Furuta showed an expression of rejoicing that he had survived the disaster.
"Boom...boom..."
The Japanese were beaten crazy, and in a desperate manner, they held grenades and explosive packs and launched a counterattack against the cavalry company.
Every time an explosion sounded, a cavalryman was knocked over on the battlefield and fell off his horse, or fell to the ground together with his horse.
"We also use grenades..."
The captain of the cavalry company shouted at the top of his lungs, with a heartbroken expression on his face.
In just one minute, almost two squadrons of cavalry fell in the explosion.
More than thirty grenades were quickly thrown out by the cavalry company, and they were all concentrated around Lieutenant Colonel Furuta.
"Sir, get down!"
The guard screamed and pounced on Lieutenant Colonel Furuta like a hungry wolf hunting for prey.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as Furuta Nakasa was thrown to the ground, the sound of explosions rang in his ears continuously.
The screams also reached Furuta's ears.
The explosion stopped, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts of death reached Gutian's ears again.
He tried his best to push away the body of the guard on his back and looked up at his surroundings. Lieutenant Colonel Furuta was desperate.
There are not many subordinates left who can still move around.
Dozens of Eighth Route Army cavalry rushed over from dozens of meters away with their sabers raised and howling, but only four or five people stood up and chatted to go to the camp.
In one fight, these subordinates were slaughtered by the cavalry.
Then he raised his saber that was still dripping with blood and charged towards him.
A flash of sword light flashed before his eyes, and a tingling sensation spread rapidly from his back to his whole body.
Lieutenant Colonel Furuta felt that his life was passing quickly, his physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, and he finally closed his eyes with a look of pain on his face.
In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison, Zhou Liang put down his headphones and rushed out of the war room, finding Li Hao lying at the entrance.
"Captain, Captain Xiao has good news, they won the battle."
"After nearly an hour of bloody fighting, the commando team, reconnaissance company, and cavalry battalion annihilated the enemy at the cost of more than half of the casualties, and captured all the equipment and ammunition of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade."
"The cavalry battalion suffered the greatest loss, with more than 300 casualties and less than 200 men left to fight."
Li Hao had expected this result, but his face was still happy.
Hong Linfeng was even more exaggerated and almost jumped up with joy.
But neither of them lost their minds. Li Hao was the first to react and immediately asked: "Chief of Staff, how far is the battlefield to eliminate the commandos from here."
"Less than fifteen kilometers!" Hong Linfeng replied after thinking for a while.
Li Hao was silent for a moment and then made a decision: "It's fifteen kilometers away and you can get there in half an hour on horseback."
"Order: The mobile battalion immediately withdraws from the battlefield, breaks away from the battle, marches urgently to reinforce Captain Xiao, cooperates with Captain Xiao to clean the battlefield, and transfer the captured items."
The chief of staff was confused and asked: "Commander, we don't want to fight here!"
"The offensive of each unit is going very smoothly, and we have sufficient ammunition reserves. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be able to severely damage the Yamamoto Regiment before dawn, and we may even eat them."
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Don't have a big appetite, or you might be stuffed to death."
"I always feel that something is wrong with the little devils on the battlefield."
"At the beginning of the battle, they were as hard as walnuts, and they had a posture of fighting to the end. It would be difficult to move forward without annihilating them all."
"As you fight, your opponent seems to have changed, no longer holding on to his position."
"Think again of the Japanese and puppet reinforcements that are coming towards us."
"I judge that there must be a conspiracy that we don't know about."
Hong Linfeng asked thoughtfully: "The little devil deliberately dragged us here to let us see the hope of victory."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Li Hao affirmed.
"Captain, there's an urgent call from the Second Battalion!" a radio operator rushed over to report.
"The Japanese and puppet troops they were blocking suddenly turned around and stopped reinforcing the Yamamoto regiment. They instead took a small road to reinforce the Japanese heavy artillery brigade."
Li Hao didn't hear anything and asked: "Where are the Japanese and puppet troops blocked by the third battalion? Have they changed their route?"
"No!" the operator shook his head and replied.
"There is a problem here." Li Hao's face became more and more serious and he answered with certainty.
"I guessed it right, Nakata Yamaro has a big plan."
