Chapter 179 Coverage bombing

Two days pass in a blink of an eye!

All Japanese troops were assembled.

In the past two days, the Japanese camps strictly guarded the Eighth Route Army, and moved the strategic depth trenches five miles away. They implemented multi-faceted monitoring of Wuyi County, and would never give Wuyi County the Eighth Route Army any chance of sneak attacks.

It was also during these two days that the Eighth Route Army had no attack on the Japanese camp again and had been staying in Wuyi County for renovation.

Being able to successfully attack the Japanese camp was completely a surprise attack. If you want to do this again, the Eighth Route Army would definitely pay an extremely heavy price. Even though you can rely on defense to eliminate the Japanese army's vitality at the minimum cost, the Eighth Route Army would naturally not take the initiative again.

Japanese Frontier Operations Command!

This time, the Japanese army sent a total of 16,000 troops to the front, but the highest commander of most of the troops was just the captain of the brigade. After these troops arrived at the front, they were organized into the Japanese 9th Division, Watanabe United and Hirata United. At the same time, the Japanese army also sent two full-scale corpses, namely Fenghua Yamaguchi and Kotori Murakami.

There were two more senior commanders in the command center, and these two were naturally: Yamaguchi Murakami and Kotomizu.

Takeshita Toshita said seriously: "Everyone! After our continuous battle with the Hu Ben Group, everyone present should know that the Humen Group is powerful, so we must be very energetic when facing the Humen Group. We must never have any idea of ​​underestimating the Humen Group in Wuyi County.

Now we are fighting a tough battle, but the Hu Ben Group is fighting a defensive battle. This situation is very unfavorable to us. Next, we can speak freely about how to attack Wuyi County. We will first discuss a practical attack method, and then launch the most fierce attack on Wuyi County."

"God General, are you making a big deal? The main reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to fight with our Japanese army continuously in Shanxi was that the Eighth Route Army was too slippery, basically changing the place with one shot. If the army and our army faced the enemy head-on, even if they were three or four times our troops, we could easily defeat the other side.

Are you too overstateing the combat power of the Hu Ben Regiment? You should know that this time the ratio of our army's strength to the Eighth Route Army's strength is close to 4:1. We also have the cover of the air force, and we can also use armored troops to cooperate with the storm. Isn't it easy to win a small Wuyi County?"

The speaker was Murakami Kotori. He didn't know how many Eighth Route Army soldiers had been wiped out in the northern part of Shanxi. He was even called the natural enemy of the Eighth Route Army within the Japanese army, so he did not take the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County seriously. More than 20,000 elite troops were destroyed by Takeshita Fengichi. He felt that this was completely caused by Takeshita Fengichi's stupidity. He did not take the other party too seriously in the face of such superiors.

Ordinary people definitely dare not speak to their Shangguan like this. After all, the Japanese army is famous for being very strict in hierarchy, but he is Okamura's nephew and is the person who is about to be promoted to the commander of the major general brigade, so he is naturally not afraid of Takeshita Tochi.

Takeshita Tsuichi said: "Since Murakami looks down on the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi Prefecture so much.

I wonder what kind of insights Murakami has about attacking Wuyi Prefecture? Murakami said it and let everyone listen, so that everyone can see if it is feasible."

Murakami Koto said: "What other insights do you need? Just let the armored troops push over and cooperate with our invincible imperial warriors to charge twice. Wouldn't it be possible to easily take Wuyi Prefecture?"

Takeshita Tochi said seriously: "Murakami! Please don't underestimate the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. The Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County is not the Eighth Route Army you have seen in the past. The Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County has advanced equipment, artillery semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns, and can even crush us in terms of firepower.

The other party's commander is a shame to our empire, and Zhao Xin, the pride of the Eighth Route Army, is very terrible whether it is tactical strategy, command and deployment, or offense and defense transformation. If you really want to fight as stated by Jae, it is completely a joke to use the lives of the imperial warriors."

Murakami Koto said disdainfully: "Even if they have strong firepower? The general is afraid of the enemy, and the warriors of our empire are not comparable to those of the Eighth Route Army.

If you are afraid, I can lead my troops to launch an attack first, and absolutely break through the defense line of the Wuyi County Conservative Army in the shortest time, and set a smooth road for the subsequent troops."

"Murakami! It seems that you look down on our combat experience with the Eighth Route Army, and you also think that our previous battles were a shame to the empire."

Takeshita said calmly: "Since Murakami is so confident, I will hand over the vanguard mission to attack Wuyi Prefecture to Murakami, and at the same time hand over the First Armored Brigade of the Armored Regiment to Murakami, we don't need Murakami to successfully take down the defense line of Wuyi Prefecture. As long as Murakami can understand the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi Prefecture, I will remember Murakami's great achievements. At that time, I personally report to General Okamura to ask for merit for Takeshita."

"Okay! I've accepted this battle order. General. Don't underestimate my village corps. If I can't break through the city wall defense of Wuyi County, I'm willing to accept the general's military law."

Takeshita said: "Murakami, you must remember clearly that your mission is to understand the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County, and not to launch a general attack on the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. No matter whether this mission succeeds or fails, I will not blame Murakami for it.

You go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, you will lead your troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. Today you can carefully study the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County and arrange tomorrow's offensive strategy at the same time."

"God of General! It's only twelve o'clock today, and you can launch a surprise attack on Wuyi County today. This can also attack the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County by surprise."

Murakami Koto said with a smile: "My troops have been hungry and thirsty for a long time. They need a hearty battle."

Takeshita Tsuichi said: "Since your troops are already hungry and thirsty, then I agree with your request for combat today. You go down and arrange your troops."

Murakami Koto said goodbye to everyone and went down to assign combat missions.

Murakami Koto left, Naoyu Watanabe said: "God General, Murakami doesn't understand the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi Prefecture after all. Will there be some inappropriate things if he lets him lead troops to attack Wuyi Prefecture? I think it is better to find a corps leader who fought many times with the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi Prefecture to lead troops, so that he can test the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi Prefecture with the minimum sacrifice, and lay a solid foundation for the complete victory of Wuyi Prefecture."

Takeshita Tsuichi said: "Murakami is the nephew of General Okamura. He looks down on the war we fought before and thinks that the Eighth Route Army is as fragile as before. Many of the brigade captains who came this time probably think so.

Since that's the case, let them fight a battle first. First, let them know how powerful the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County is, let them restrain their proud personality, and second, they can also test the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County at a certain price. This is completely a way of being the best of both worlds. Don't you think this is a way of being the best of both worlds?"

Saburo Hirata hurriedly echoed: "This is indeed a best of both worlds, and I fully agree with the general's approach."

Saburo Hirata saw Takeshita's little thoughts. This battle was made by Murakami Koto. Once Murakami Koto encounters serious failure, it means that the failure they had encountered before was a normal event.

When this battle is over, if Okamura Yasuji wants to punish them for this battle, he will have to punish them together with Murakami Kotoki. Okamura Yasuji will definitely consider the punishment for them carefully.

Takeshita Toshita did this with multiple goals. Most of the people present guessed Takeshita Toshita's intentions, and most of them agreed with Takeshita Toshita's approach.

Naoo Watanabe did not see Takeshita's thoughts and continued to say bluntly: "God of General! I still don't agree with Murakami Kotori to launch a tentative attack.

With the prejudice of the village king against the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County, he is likely to not use a tentative attack and launch a group-style charge against the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. This will definitely cause unnecessary sacrifices from our imperial warriors."

"We have discussed and passed this combat mission, and Murakami is also very willing to carry out this mission. Do you think your objections alone are useful?"

Takeshita said: "Watanabe! Please set your position clearly."

Naoto Watanabe originally wanted to continue speaking up for justice, but his good friend Saburo Hirada pulled the corner of his military uniform and signaled him not to continue talking. Naoto Watanabe finally shut up helplessly.

Murakami Koto now has three infantry brigades, one artillery squadron, and one armored brigade.

The northern terrain of Wuyi County is wide, and it can completely accommodate an infantry brigade and an armored brigade to launch a group-style charge.

Murakami Kotori didn't think much about anything else. He launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County for the first time. He directly mobilized an infantry brigade and an armored brigade to launch a charge against the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County in a coordinated manner. At the same time, he asked the artillery squadron to follow the infantry brigade and waited to build an artillery position at the appropriate location to carry out a cover bombing of the city walls in the north of Wuyi County, and cooperate with the attack of infantry and tank troops.

One pm!

Murakami Kotori launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army of Wuyi County on time. Sixteen tanks were arranged irregularly and drove towards the Wuyi County wall. Behind the tanks were an infantry squadron, one hundred meters behind the tanks, and a Japanese artillery squadron was advancing in sequence under the cover of two infantry squadrons.

Above the walls of Wuyi County.

When the first battalion commander of the Huben regiment and the fifth battalion commander saw this scene in the telescope, he looked confused on his face. Isn’t this way of moving forward like this to give them meat?

With an artillery squadron, an infantry brigade and an armored brigade, even if the Japanese army has a division and a half, they will not be able to send such a large mouthful of fat for the first tentative attack.

However, the two of them were confused, so they would not miss such a good opportunity.

All Japanese troops entered the range of howitzers in the Eighth Route Army, and thirty-six heavy howitzers flipped over and fired rapidly, and 2,400 shells were directly fired in just 30 minutes.

On a relatively flat 15 square kilometers of land, 2,400 heavy howitzers and shells were bombed. The Japanese artillery squadron and armored brigade could not find a good cannon and a good tank. More than 1,400 Japanese were in the end, and only more than 50 Japanese were lucky enough to retreat.

The more than 50 Japanese who escaped were all injured, none of them were in a mess, but the shells did not hurt their legs, so they ran back.

Eight kilometers away!

Murakami Kotoki saw his artillery squadron, infantry brigade and armored brigade almost wiped out in a military telescope. His mood suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, and a cold air rushed directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Hearing the sound of cannons, he heard more than 30 heavy howitzers did not take into account the rapid fire of ammunition consumption, which made his vanguard attacking troops completely injured.

Murakami Kotoki was really unimaginable. Why did the three-fifth guns and eighth guns suddenly change the cannons at this time? Just one battle, he was stunned by the Eighth Route Army.

Murakami Kotori did not continue to send troops to attack the Eighth Route Army. He already clearly understood his previous attack plan. In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, it might be a joke, and even in Takeshita Toshima, it might be a joke.

Now Murakami Kotoki understood why Takeshita Tochi was defeated in front of the Eighth Route Army? Faced with such powerful firepower, they were still on the side of the attack, and if they were not defeated, there would be a ghost.

At the same time, I remembered Takeshita Fengichi's previous record, and fought from Mumahe to Wuyi Prefecture, and was on the attacking side. The damage ratio of the war was able to steadily suppress the Eighth Route Army. He was worthy of being the general who could serve as the commander of the division.

Of course! Murakami Kotoki didn't know that Takeshita Tsuichi has been lying about his record, and his non-commissioned officers also followed him to lie about his record. If he knew about this, he would probably despise Takeshita Tsuichi even more.

The power gap between the two sides was defeated, which was not unforgivable, but lying about the achievements again and again and taking the lives of imperial soldiers as a joke is definitely a taboo in the army.

Murakami Kotori calmed down his mood and began to think about how to test the firepower arrangements of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County at the lowest cost.

His main task this time was to understand the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. It is not a shameful thing to not be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County. If so many troops were sent and even the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army in Wuyi County could not be clearly understood, he would probably become a laughing stock in this war.

The future will probably be completely over. Even if his uncle is Okamura Yasuji, he will not be able to be promoted from the United Colonel to the Major General Brigade Commander.
