Chapter 230 The 2nd Brigade!
"How is it possible? Commander!"
Miyano Dao looked stunned, then shook his head and said.
"How is it impossible?"
Yoshinomi Shinozuka said with a serious expression: "If I were Xu Rui and other enemy commanders, after I had already ensured that the remnants of the 36th Division commanded by Taro Nagata were surrounded by Duguling, with the support of powerful artillery fire, it would be possible to develop a strategy of surrounding points and attacking aid."
"But, this possibility is only what I guess. But I'm afraid that they will really be around to help!"
"The most important thing is that even if we send other troops to reinforce Taro Nagata, it is too late."
Miyano Doichi nodded silently with a serious expression.
The 16th Brigade had been transferred to reinforcements and cooperated with Taro Nagata to open up the supply line behind him.
However, the 16th Brigade has gathered and set off now, but it will take until dawn to get to Mingjia Town from about 10:00 to 11:00 in the morning.
However, this army can no longer relieve near-thirst.
"In addition, there is a route to dispatch troops to reinforce Mingjia Town, go directly from other places, kill to General Ridge, and then head south to Dugu Ridge."
Pointing to the map, Miyanodo thought for a while and then said.
Yoshinomi Shinozuka looked closely and saw Miyano Doichi, pointing to a reinforcement route on the map, and then said in a voice: "Start from Zhenting Castle, then cross the mountain road and detour to the General Ridge."
"This is a mountain road!"
Miyano Doichi pointed to the huge military map placed on the table in the command room of the headquarters, then nodded and said in a low voice: "The commander is right."
"Although it is a mountain road, the distance from Zhenting City to the detour of General Ridge is about fifty kilometers. It takes more than five hours to march quickly, but it can ensure that the reinforcements sent by other dispatch can reach General Ridge without any obstacles."
After pausing, Miyano Doichi continued: "Besides, in Zhenting City, there is just the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade directly under our First Army Command."
"This is an elite brigade, good at marching and fighting in mountains."
Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinomiya understood what the meaning of Nojichi of the White House was, and it was necessary to send other reinforcements to reinforce Taro Nagata.
What's more, when the 16th Brigade arrived in Mingjia Town, it was from 10 am to 11:00 am.
But they went north to counterattack and regain the Nanliu River, wade the Yupo, and Dingjun Mountain, and then bypass the Jinghai County and then fight to the General Ridge.
One daytime is probably not enough.
Now, Taro Nagata has been surrounded by enemy troops in Dugu Ridge, and the opponent's artillery fire is very fierce.
Of course, it would not work to let the 16th Brigade slowly reach General Ridge in a daytime.
Therefore, it is necessary to split another reinforcement route from other routes.
Otherwise, if the remnants of the 36th Division were wiped out on Duguling Mountain, the Imperial Army of a division would be annihilated, and the shock caused to the First Army would be very huge.
The result of the 36th Division's entire army was unbearable for Yoshinan Shinozuka.
Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshinan gritted his teeth and said to Miyano Doichi: "Then order the 2nd Brigade to set out from Zhenting Castle immediately and marched quickly to the General Ridge."
"If it goes well, at least before the 16th Brigade reaches Mingjia Town, you can reach General Ridge in advance. Then quickly go south and enter Dugu Ridge."
Miyano Dao said repeatedly: "I will dispatch troops immediately, commander!"
"Um!!!"
Yoshinozuka nodded with a serious look.
Miyano Doichi immediately walked to the command room of the headquarters and called directly to the dispatch of troops.
Shinozuka Yoshinan said to the headquarters' communications officer, Major Toshiki Kitamura, said: "Call back to Taro Nagata and inform us of our decision."
"Appoint Taro Nagata, he still has more than 6,000 elite imperial troops. Relying on the mountainous landscape of Duguling, he should be fine until before twelve o'clock after dawn!"
Major Shunyi Kitamura secretly remembered good words, then stood attentively and said: "Yes, Commander, I will immediately ask the correspondents to call General Taro Nagata."
"Um!!!"
Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand, and Kitamura Shunyi immediately returned to the communications office and ordered his communications soldiers to send a message to Nagata Taro immediately.
After Kitamura Shunyi walked away, Shinozuka Yoshinan's face suddenly became gloomy again.
"Nagata Taro, hold on!"
Yoshinomi Shinozuka muttered to himself.
If the 36th Division is wiped out, then this will be a huge shock.
The elite of a division!
Three or four minutes later, on the main peak of Duguling, there was a temporary command bunker at the remnants of the 36th Division.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
"Boom, rumble!"
Deafening explosions came one after another on the main peak of Duguling and more than a dozen small hills around it in the early morning night.
It has to be said that after seizing the artillery artillery corps of the 36th Division of the Japanese, plus the artillery of the 358th Regiment on the side of General Ridge, Xu Rui and others attacked Dugu Ling very fiercely.
The artillery bombardment lasted for ten minutes. Now, Xu Rui and others commanded the artillery and began to replace the incendiary bombs one after another, and continued to bomb Dugu Ling directly.
At this time, the main peak of Duguling and the dozen surrounding mountains were in full swing.
Taro Nagata had no choice but to bite the bullet and draw water from a few springs on the mountain. In addition, the grenade explosion reacted with the fire barrier, which barely left the main peak of Duguling and the dozen surrounding hills without large-scale wildfires.
Otherwise, he would have turned into a roasted suckling pig by this trick.
"hateful!!"
Seeing the enemy artillery at the foot of the mountain starting to replace the incendiary bombs to bomb Dugu Ling, Taro Nagata's eyes were red and then gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy way.
"Teacher Commander, this is a life-and-death battle, and it is understandable that the enemy does this."
Chief of staff of the division, Kensabashi Takeraki, said bitterly.
"Report, report to the division commander, chief of staff, and the command has called back!"
At this moment, a communications soldier arrived in a hurry to report to Nagata Taro and Major General Kensalo Takera.
Upon hearing the report, Taro Nagata was excited, and then immediately took the telegram from the correspondent soldier and read it.
"Huh Huh Huh!!!"
After reading the telegram, Taro Nagata, the old devil, breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Kensalo Takefuji, saying: "Although the commander rebuked us again in the call, he has agreed to send other troops to reinforce us."
"The reinforcements were the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade. They set out from Zhenting City, marched and detoured on the mountain road, rushed to the General Ridge, and then went south from General Ridge to attack the enemy troops besieging Dugu Ridge."
At this time, the chief of staff of the division, Kensalo Takeraki, who had received the telegram and read it, immediately asked someone to take out the map and spread it out, then looked at the map under the illumination of the flashlight, and then said in a voice: "Teacher Commander, here, Zhenting City."
"From here, we marched and detoured to the General Ridge. The roads were all mountain roads. However, there were no enemy attacks along the way, and we just needed to march for at least five hours."
After a pause, Kensalo Takerado continued to say in a voice: "At the fastest speed, the 2nd Brigade needs to be at least ten o'clock in the morning before it can appear near General Ridge. In terms of time, we may need to hold on for more than five hours."
