It's such a cold day that people can freeze to death outside, but the Eighth Route Army can actually dispatch tens of thousands of people to ambush them.
That's outrageous.
Seeing that Mitsuo Nakazawa still looked gloomy, Kuroda Shigenori said again:
"There are at least ten thousand Locust Army soldiers in the ambush circle. These Locust Army soldiers are the most elite warriors in the empire."
"I believe they will not be wiped out so easily by the Eighth Route Army."
"Mr. Zhongze, you have to cheer up and lead the locust army of the 2nd division to rescue them."
Kuroda Shigenori secretly thought, even if there were ten thousand pigs, they couldn't be killed so quickly.
What's more, they were the elite among the more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Locust Army.
A Japanese reconnaissance plane headed for the battlefield was shot down, and the other reconnaissance plane had already fled long ago for fear of being shot down.
Therefore, neither Nakazawa Mizuo nor Kuroda Shigenori knew that the battle was coming to an end.
Mitsuo Nakazawa glanced at Kuroda Shigenori speechlessly. He stood and spoke without pain in his back. The people in the ambush circle were not soldiers from your 2nd division. If they were soldiers from your 2nd division, you would be more anxious than me.
"Kuroda-kun." Mitsuo Nakazawa said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and move on."
At this moment, two telegraph soldiers carrying a radio on their backs came to the armored vehicle and reported to Kuroda Shigentoku:
"Division commander, Commander of the North China Front, Nei Okamura, wants to speak to you personally."
"Nani" Kuroda Shigenori was suddenly shocked. It was rare for General Okamura Neji to have a personal phone call with the division commander Lieutenant General.
Kuroda Shigetori immediately stepped out of the armored vehicle, picked up the microphone with one hand and put it to his mouth, and the receiver with the other hand to his ear:
"Moxi Moxi, General, I am Kuroda Shigenori, commander of the 2nd Division!"
"Kuroda-kun, where are your troops?"
"Whether it was blocked by the Eighth Route Army?"
The deep and rich voice of Neji Okamura came from the receiver, but because of the distance, the signal was not very good and the voice was intermittent.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Interceptor Force was frightened away after hearing that our division came for reinforcements."
"Currently, the vanguard of our division is less than a kilometer away from the battlefield."
"Our division is unobstructed! Unobstructed!"
Kuroda Shigenori's back was straight and his attitude was very respectful.
Even his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, the commander of the Mongolian Army, was respectful when facing Okamura Neji.
"Yoshi!"
Okamura Neji said:
"Order your division to rush to the battlefield immediately, but you must pay attention to reconnaissance and don't fall into an ambush by the Eighth Route Army like the second division."
"Hi! Hi!"
Kuroda Shigenori suddenly lowered his head twice at the radio station until he could no longer hear the sound in the receiver, and then handed the receiver and microphone to the telegraph soldier.
"What did Commander Okamura say?" Mitsuo Nakazawa asked.
"Commander Okamura ordered our troops to rush to the battlefield immediately." Kuroda Shigenori replied.
Then, Kuroda Shigenori looked at the communications staff officer on the side and said coldly: "Instructions are given, the Infantry Battalion speeds up and must pay attention to reconnaissance to avoid being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army."
"Hi!"
The communications staff member suddenly lowered his head.
…
Kuroda Shigenori and Okamura Neji don't know.
The conversation they just had had been monitored by the new group's radio station.
Because the two old devils spoke in Japanese and did not use code words, and they were very close to the headquarters of the new regiment.
Although the soldiers of the New Regiment monitoring the radio were not very good at Japanese, they could roughly understand what the two old Japanese soldiers said.
The telegraph soldier immediately reported the situation to Chief of Staff Wang Dehou.
Then, Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "Captain, the telecommunications unit just monitored the radio conversation between North China Front Army Commander Okamura Ningji and Division Commander Kuroda Shigenori."
"Oh" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Have you heard any valuable information?"
"That's not true." Wang Dehou said, "Oh, by the way, Okamura Neji and Kuroda Shigenori don't seem to know that the main force of the 2nd Division has been eliminated. The 3rd Division is continuing to reinforce. Kuroda Shigenori said on the radio that the distance between us is
It’s less than a kilometer away from here.”
Li Yunlong took the map from Hu Zi's hand and looked at it, and quickly found the current location of the 2nd Division on the map.
"Here." Li Yunlong clicked on the map, "The 3rd division should be here. Are the artillery groups ready to welcome the 2nd division?"
In this battle, regiment-level artillery units alone were used.
They are the heavy artillery battalion, artillery battalion and artillery battalion of the New Regiment, the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment and the artillery battalion of the New Second Regiment.
Mountain cannons, howitzers and artillery that are larger than 1mm exceed the door, and 1mm and 10mm artillery even exceed the door.
This artillery fire density is not even worse than the European battlefield.
After the battle to ambush the main force of the 2nd Division, it was no longer possible to ambush the 2nd Division. However, Li Yunlong had already given orders for all units to prepare to face the 3rd Division.
If it were just the 1st division, there would be no need for such a large formation.
The Japanese troops who came for reinforcements included, in addition to the 3rd Division, the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Division, the Suzuki Regiment, and the thousands of Japanese who escaped.
In order to buy time for the troops to clean up the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had to fight with the 3rd Division and the remnants of the 3rd Division.
"All artillery groups have been prepared."
Wang Dehou nodded:
"The battalions of our regiment have already moved forward, and the observers of each artillery group have arrived at the commanding heights of nearby mountain peaks to guide each artillery group to fire."
"Once the Japs from the 3rd Division appear, they will be directly exposed to our artillery fire."
"very good."
