Chapter 321 The loss of troops has been calculated at 24.13%

When the Japanese communications soldier heard this, he whispered in a desperate voice: "Captain, this?"

"Execute the order and send the report immediately! Hurry up!"

Colonel Yoshida Ichiro waved his hand and said bitterly.

"Yes, Captain!"

The Japanese communications soldier said seriously, and then Mao bent aside and turned on the radio to send a report on the spot.

Then, Yoshida Ichiro said bitterly to Major Yamada Hideo, the chief of staff of the regiment: "Up to now, I am basically sure that the troops who ambush us are not the troops of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."

"But it is very likely that they are the troops of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."

After hearing this, Major Hideo Yamada gritted his teeth and said: "Captain, are you Chu Yunfei's men?".

"Aren't they on Jiangjunling Mountain, sitting and watching the battle in the direction of Nanliujiang River? Chu Yunfei actually sent troops to wait for us here? What's more, our actions are very concealed. Chu Yunfei is far above Jiangjunling. Why?

Maybe you know that we will pass through Hanjiapo and fight to Jiangjunling?"

Ichiro Yoshida said with a bitter expression: "I don't know, but our whereabouts are definitely exposed."

"Now, there are less than two hundred imperial soldiers left, and we will not be able to get out of Hanjiapo alive."

Before Yamada Hideo could speak, a sudden and intensive scream struck again.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!"

Harsh, dense screams came down from the valleys on both sides of Hanjiapo.

Then, in the night sky, the tail flames of the shells were clearly visible.

"Artillery attack, commander, take cover quickly!"

The smarter Major Hideo Yamada said something fiercely, and immediately jumped on Ichiro Katada with another Japanese soldier.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom, boom boom!!!"

In less than two seconds, artillery shells smashed down from the mountains on both sides of the Hanjiapo Valley landed intensively in the area where the remaining Japanese soldiers gathered in the valley.

The shells exploded one after another, and the explosion fragments flew everywhere in the night.

Some of the remaining Japanese soldiers had no time to take cover, and were directly hit by shell fragments that exploded at high speed, leaving corpses scattered all over the field. They screamed and howled incessantly.

The Japanese communication soldier who was struggling to send the message had just finished sending the report. The radio station and the Japanese communication soldier in front of him were hit by two 80 mm caliber mortar shells at the same time, and their parts were blown out on the spot.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!"

The explosions continued, and screams continued to be heard.

Ichiro Yoshida and Major Hideo Yamada, chief of staff of the regiment, lay firmly in the pit, not daring to move.

At this time, Chu Yunfei, who was observing the situation in the valley from a command position at the highest point of the mountain on the southwest side of the Hanjiapo Valley, stared at the explosion in the valley with a telescope from a high position.

Under the night, the explosions and flames in the valley kept flashing, illuminating the entire area where the remaining Japanese soldiers gathered in the valley.

"Intensify the bombardment and blow it up hard!"

Chu Yunfei saw that there were not many Japanese soldiers left, so he directly ordered to increase the artillery bombardment without hesitation.

As for sending infantry to charge down the mountain and capture the Japanese soldiers alive, Chu Yunfei was not interested.

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

The adjutant beside Chu Yunfei smiled and quickly sent someone to order the artillery to increase the intensity of the bombardment, using the fastest artillery fire to directly blow up the remaining Japanese soldiers.

With this move, Yoshida Ichiro exploded immediately, unable to recover from the loud explosion for two minutes.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Ta-ta-ta, chu-chu-chu, bang-bang-bang!!!"

Facing the remaining Japs in the valley, under Chu Yunfei's order, the firepower continued to cover and pour down, and continued to hit them as if they were free of charge.

Ichiro Yoshida, who originally thought that the enemy ambushing them would stop their artillery fire and send infantry to charge down to engage them in close combat, was forced to do so amidst the rumbling explosions.

"BaGeYaLu, these are the Imperial Army who don't want to live!"

Yoshida Ichiro said through gritted teeth amidst the roaring sounds of gunfire.

"Captain, we have suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the less than two hundred soldiers have been killed by enemy artillery fire."

At this time, Major Yamada Hideo, the commander of the wing's staff who had also recovered from the explosion, said bitterly.

"hateful!!!"

Yoshida Ichiro was so angry that even if his jade was shattered in the end, he still hoped that the enemy troops would rush down and fight with them in close combat, so that they could kill some of the enemy troops who ambushed them.

It's a pity that they didn't fall for the trick, they just used rapid artillery fire, rifle fire, and machine gun fire to continue pouring down, eating up your remaining soldiers bit by bit.

It was obvious that whoever the enemy was that ambushed their 13th Infantry Regiment, its commander must have known about the close combat capabilities of the Imperial Army.

So, just use rapid and violent firepower to pour down, eat you continuously, and finally annihilate them all.

As for hand-to-hand combat and bayonet combat, the opponent's commander obviously has no interest in this.

But for Yoshida Ichiro, the other party's contempt was simply humiliating.

"Continue to fight back and fight until the last soldier is left. Your Majesty Tianhuang will protect us."

In the end, Yoshida Ichiro could only order through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Captain."

At this time, of course Major Hideo Yamada could only answer this way, of course there is another way out.

However, as long as Yamada Hideo suggested that way out, Yoshida Ichiro would probably kill him on the spot.

Therefore, under the strict orders of Yoshida Ichiro, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the Hanjiapo Valley continued to resist and defend to the death, with no intention of raising the white flag to surrender.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei had no choice but to help them, and continued to order the ambushing troops to pour out firepower. It was bound to kill every Japanese, leaving no one alive.

At this time, two minutes ago, Yoshida Ichiro ordered the Japanese communications troops to send a desperate farewell message to the 41st Division headquarters. At this time, it had already reached the hands of Takeshita Taro.

"Bang!!!"

After reading the secret farewell telegram from the 13th Infantry Regiment sent by Major Kazuo Tachibana, the communications staff officer, Takeshita Taro almost stumbled and fell, but it was the division chief of staff, Major General Hideki Tada, who had quick eyesight and quick hands to support Taro Takeshita.

But after he came to his senses, Taro Takeshita punched the table with the map in front of him, his face became ferocious.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Taro Takeshita stared at the map and said through gritted teeth: "How could the 13th Infantry Regiment encounter a large ambush of the enemy in Hanjiapo? Was it Xu Rui's men or Chu Yunfei's men of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army?"

.

"The division commander is most likely the main force of Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment."

Major General Hideki Tada sighed, pointed at the map, and was almost certain in his mind who the enemy troops ambushing in Hanjiapo were, and said: "The only enemy troops closest to Hanjiapo are the men and horses of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

"The journey from Jiangjun Ridge to Hanjiapo is just over an hour. For Chu Yunfei's troops who are familiar with the area around Jiangjunling, knowing about Hanjiapo is not a surprise."

After a pause, Major General Tada Hideki added, "Division commander, Xu Rui's troops cannot exceed ten thousand even if they survive."

"The main force of the 303rd Regiment is currently on the north bank of the Nanliu River. At this time, Xu Rui dispatched an elite unit to Hanjiapo to ambush us. It is impossible for us not to notice it. Only Chu Yunfei's troops can escape from Jiangjun Ridge

Rush to Hanjiapo and set up an ambush."

Taro Takeshita actually agreed with Hideki Tada's analysis, but now it's just an afterthought.

The 13th Infantry Regiment sent a secret farewell message, stating that it was impossible for the remnant soldiers commanded by the 13th Infantry Regiment Captain Yoshida Ichiro to break out of Hanjiapo alive and that they would all be destroyed.

However, after the 13th Infantry Regiment was completely destroyed in Hanjiapo, the army commanded by Taro Takeshita suffered a loss of more than 11,100 people.

As of now, Taro Takeshita's army is not only stationed on the south bank of the Nanliu River, but cannot kill the north bank of the Nanliu River.

On the contrary, so far, more than 11,100 troops have been lost, accounting for 24.13% of the total number of troops.

The casualties and losses were too many.

"The entire 13th Infantry Regiment was shattered in Hanjiapo. It is irreparable."

When Taro Takeshita thought of this, he immediately said with a helpless expression: "The strategy of attacking General Ridge in a roundabout way has failed."
