Chapter 293 Yoshinomi Shinozuka’s wrath!

"Yes, division commander."

Major General Hideki Tada nodded bitterly, then waved his hand to signal the communications officer, Major Kazuo Takaha, who was standing beside him, to send a report immediately.

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Takaha Kazuo nodded and was about to turn around and run down the mountain, but he was quickly stopped by Takeshita Taro.

"In addition, Tachibana Sang, in the newspaper to the headquarters, requested the dispatch of air force fighter jets to support us. Report to the headquarters together the situation of the air force air raid group led by Colonel Kazuo Matsumoto being attacked by the enemy!"

Taro Takeshita said to the opposing Major Hanakao.

"Yes, division commander!"

Major Kazuo Tachikawa nodded with a serious expression, then ran down the mountain and returned to the military tent command center below, and ordered his Japanese correspondents to quickly send a report to the Japanese First Army Command.

After Kazuo Tachiha ran down the mountain, Taro Takeshita looked at the battlefield with a gloomy face on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

"Order all departments to rest on the spot."

Taro Takeshita said to Hideki Tada indifferently: "No action is allowed without my order."

"Now, we can't cross the river. Even if we want to fight Xu Rui's troops, we can't fight."

Hideki Tada nodded, but then thought for a while and asked: "Second Commander, should he order the gun group in the rear to interrupt the shelling of the north bank of the Nanliu River?"

“Nothing makes sense!”

Taro Takeshita waved his hand and said, "It's just a waste of cannonballs. Xu Rui's troops must have built a large number of anti-cannon holes on the river defense position on the north bank of the Nanliu River."

"From the previous artillery group position, after using 105mm howitzers for artillery fire, the enemy still had infantry emerging from the position. This means that the enemy has dug an anti-aircraft hole that can withstand the bombing of 105mm howitzer shells. Continuing artillery now is just a waste of artillery shells. It is estimated that the enemy's infantry on the river defense position on the north bank of the Nanliu River will not be killed."

Hearing this, Hideki Tada felt that what Takeshita Taro said made sense.

"What the division commander said is."

Hideki Tada just felt helpless. So, he followed the command's roller tactics to attack from Mingjia Town all the way north.

Without ships, you cannot cross the Nanliu River.

Then, this war is probably necessary to fight for ten days and a half months.

"Why don't we do anything while we are waiting for the headquarters to transfer the iron assault boat?"

Hideki Tada said again.

Taro Takeshita did not speak immediately, but picked up the telescope and observed the river defense position of the 303rd Regiment on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

After killing the 55th Infantry Regiment, the enemy did not send troops to clean the battlefield.

It shows that Xu Rui's troops also knew the power of howitzers and various artillery artillery on the rear artillery group positions on the south bank of the Nanliujiang River.

But because of this, Taro Takeshita understood that Xu Rui could not order his infantry and horses to come out to clean the battlefield, so he could bear it.

"This is a cunning, tough opponent."

Taro Takeshita murmured to himself, and realized that it seemed that the 30,000 imperial troops formed by the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment were defeated by Xu Rui. This person should indeed not be underestimated.

Now, the army commanded by Taro Takeshita has been killed by Xu Rui, and more than 5,000 people have been killed.

Thinking of this, after coming back to his senses, Taro Takeshita said to Chief of Staff Hideki Tada: "In this way, before the headquarters dispatched ships to reinforce us, the departments sent elite reconnaissance forces to conduct reconnaissance along the upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River Ice Bridge."

"Look at it, can you find a place where you don't need a boat, you can wader across the river, or build a pontoon bridge and smuggle it."

Tada Hideki nodded after hearing this and said in a low voice: "Now, this is the only way to do it."

"Um!!!"

Taro Takeshita nodded and replied.

There is no way to cross the river. There are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to use the advantage of military strength!

So, Hideki Tada quickly sent someone to order the departments of the 41st Division, the 2nd Brigade, and the 16th Brigade to send their respective reconnaissance elites to conduct reconnaissance along the upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, looking for river sections where there is no need for ships to wader across the river or to build a floating bridge to cross the river.

At 2:11 pm, in Taiyuan City, in the command room of the First Japanese Army Command.

"Bang!!!"

As expected, the latest radio war report sent by Taro Takeshita, the commander of the 41st Division, was sent by Yoshinomi Shinozuka. He slapped the telegram in his hand on the table in front of him, and the cup of tea on the table was almost poured out.

"Chief, please calm down!"

Seeing Shinozuka Yoshino slapped the latest telegram sent by Taro Takeshita on the table, Major General Miyao, who was standing opposite the command chief, immediately spoke out, "Stop hurting!"

"Look at it, Miyano-kun!"

Yoshinomi Shinozuka picked up the telegram that he had patted on the table, then handed it to Miyano Doichi and said.

"hiss!!!"

After reading the telegram content, Miyano Daoichi also took a breath.

"How is it possible? Xu Rui actually has a 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun in his hands? Where did they get it?"

Miyano said with a serious expression: "It actually killed all the air raid aircraft group composed of fifty fighter jets commanded by Kazuno Matsumoto."

"It's so shocking! Impossible, impossible! Could it be that Taro Takeshita sent a false war report?"

Yoshinomi Shinozuka waved his hand, and said with a gloomy and serious expression: "Although the content of the battle report sent by Taro Takeshita was very shocked, it should be true."

"Taro Takeshita, I know that Miyano-kun will not send false war reports to the headquarters, it makes no sense."

After pausing, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued: "I just didn't expect that Xu Rui actually had a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun in his hand."

"We did not get this information before the war. It shows that Xu Rui, who had a 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun in his hand, was covered tightly with the air raid aircraft group. After the air raid aircraft group was captured, only half of the 55th Infantry Regiment that crossed the river successfully landed on the north bank of the Nanliu River, which was also a failure."

Seeing this, Miyano Daoichi knew that Yoshinosuke Yoshino had just shown anger.

But overall, Taro Takeshita was just suffering because he didn't know that the enemy had anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns.

Otherwise, it is possible to cross the river and attack strongly, under the cover of powerful artillery group firepower and air strike firepower, to reach the city of Jinghai County.

But now, things have happened.

"Commander, now Taro Takeshita asks the headquarters to transfer the iron assault boat to support it. Otherwise, there will be more than 41,000 remaining troops and not crossing the Nanliu River. If Xu Rui's troops confront each other across the river on the north bank of the Nanliu River, consuming the imperial army commanded by Taro Takeshita, then this battle will probably not be fought later."

Miyano Dao reminded him.

"After all, according to the command's previous instructions to Taro Takeshita, he went north along the main road from Mingjia Town to Kyohai Prefecture, and used the roller tactics to attack the north. Now, the Nanliujiang Isolate Bridge has been blown up, and the enemy has deployed defenses along the river, and ships are now indispensable."

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he supported the table in front of him with both hands, looked at the huge military map and sand table placed on the table, and looked at it.

"Forget it, just adjust the iron assault boat for Takeshita Taro!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Doichi: "How many iron assault boats can the headquarters collect and transfer to Taro Takeshita?"

"About 300 ships can be mobilized, but it only takes some time. And if transported from the ground to Takeshita Taro ships, it may take more time."

Miyano Daoichi said.

“No ground transportation.”

After thinking about it, Yoshinomi Shinozuka looked at the map and the sand table, the town of Mingjia, Kyohai Prefecture and other places, and then said in a silence to Miyanodo: "Use a transport plane to carry an iron assault boat, and then directly airdrop the ship to Takeshita Taro's troops."

"In this way, the mission of airdrop ships can be completed in one hour at most!"

Miyano Dori thoughtfully and pointed to the map and said: "The airport closest to the front line can quickly mobilize some transport planes to perform this task."

"About, you can airdrop three hundred iron assault boats to Taro Takeshita!"
