Because of the attack of the new first regiment and the new second regiment.
The troops near Haiwan Mountain were all pinned down and unable to escape from the battlefield in a short period of time.
This time, Okamura Neji could no longer calm down and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
If there is a problem in the arsenal, it is no different than cutting off one of your arms. The First Army will lose the ability to recover quickly after the war.
If the equipment in the arsenal fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the consequences would be disastrous.
He felt more and more that the Eighth Route Army's attack on Haiwanshan was completely premeditated.
"Baga Yalu, you idiot, I asked you to be in charge of intelligence screening. Is this how you screen?" Okamura Neiji said angrily.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked aggrieved, but he did not dare to say anything more.
During the war, the movement of troops was not normal. Who would deliberately pay attention to which troop it was? It must be reported first, and then the enemy troop number could be determined.
Besides.
The Eighth Route Army has just won the war, and its vigilance will be very high.
Even trained intelligence personnel will have difficulty penetrating into the Eighth Route Army base areas in the short term.
However, Yoshio Shinozuka only dared to think about these reasons in his heart and did not dare to say them out.
Due to insufficient support from the surrounding Japanese troops.
Ding Wei led his troops to successfully pull out the machine gun fortress outside the Haiwanshan Arsenal.
In the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment contained the supporting troops, and the remaining three battalions of the 28th Regiment also successfully surrounded Haiwan Mountain from three directions.
Mizuno Asahi suddenly smelled something wrong.
The sound of gunfire outside was obviously much more ferocious than before.
Looking at the telegram in his hand, Mizuno Asahi felt even more anxious.
There are no idle troops to deploy now. Okamura Neiji hopes that the Mizuno Brigade will persist and support will arrive soon.
What a joke.
If you can persevere, why would you ask for help?
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel!" The Japanese second lieutenant suddenly pushed open the office door: "Outside, outside..."
"What's wrong?" Mizuno Asahi suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "What's wrong? Are reinforcements from the imperial army coming?"
The Japanese second lieutenant looked crying and replied: "No, it's the Eighth Route Army and the others..."
"What happened to them?" Mizuno Asahi asked.
The Japanese second lieutenant replied: "I don't know what's going on outside, but suddenly a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared and are surrounding us."
"Nani?" Mizuno Asahi was a little surprised: "Eighth Route Army?"
"Hai!" the Japanese second lieutenant paused.
"Impossible, the Imperial Army troops have already fought with Tubal Road, how could the Eighth Route Army still have troops to go here to support!" Mizuno Asahi shouted.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, if you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself!" said the Japanese second lieutenant.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that so many Eighth Route Army troops could come to Haiwan Mountain.
Mizuno Asahi gently opened a window and saw at a glance a small group of Eighth Route Army troops charging towards the arsenal.
Three or four soldiers were retreating and fighting, trying to get closer to the arsenal.
Originally, there should have been four heavy machine gun positions along that route.
How do these damn Tubal soldiers break through that machine gun line of defense?
As soon as Mizuno Asahi was stunned, the Japanese soldiers who were fighting back were knocked to the ground.
And there was no small group like this one. The densely packed Eighth Route Army troops were approaching the arsenal.
However, our own troops were all driven back like rabbits, and they all retreated towards the factory as if they were fleeing.
"Damn it, where did these Eighth Route Army troops come from!" Mizuno Asahi said angrily.
In the woods outside the arsenal, the Eighth Route Army seemed to be gleaming everywhere, almost everywhere.
As early as two hours ago, the situation in the arsenal was far from being so bad. We could at least have a 50-50 draw with the enemy.
But after only two hours, our side had lost its outer line.
What's the matter?
But Mizuno Asahi didn't even think about how powerful the complete 28th regiment would be.
It can be said that they have strong soldiers and horses, but the cavalry cannot be deployed here, otherwise he can see the cavalry galloping here.
The artillery and machine gun units are all here.
The 28th Regiment put all their efforts into attacking the arsenal and strengthening the free development of each department. They also relaxed their hands and feet to develop.
With the name of the 28th Regiment, it has developed very smoothly, and each unit has expanded its strength by at least three or four battalions.
The current strength of the 28th Regiment has reached more than 10,000 people, and all the strength combined can at least match the firepower of two divisions.
Unless the strength of the arsenal is doubled.
Seeing the densely packed Eighth Route Army troops in front of him, like a tide, submerging the arsenal, Mizuno Asahi suddenly felt a sense of danger, and his back felt cold.
No matter which window you open, you can see the Eighth Route Army.
"Quick, quick, close the battle line and defend the enemy in the factory, quick!" Mizuno Asahi shouted to the second lieutenant behind him.
"Hai!" Seeing Mizuno grinning at the sun, the Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly ran out.
If there is resistance outside, the Eighth Route Army will be free to fight, but if it is inside the arsenal.
For the sake of the equipment and operators in the factory, the Eighth Route Army would definitely be restrained and would give up some heavy weapons.
At that time, our own side will be able to use heavy weapons to attack the Eighth Route Army!
"Damn Tubal Road, you still want to take over the imperial army's arsenal, what a dream!" Mizuno Asahi looked ferocious.
Then, he whispered again: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately a Japanese soldier walked in outside the door.
"Gather all the military experts and workers in the arsenal." Mizuno Asahi said sternly: "If the situation goes wrong, kill them all and leave no one behind!"
Just having the equipment is secondary, senior staff is the most important thing.
There was no one to guide the use of these equipment, and the Eighth Route Army was blinded.
"Hai." The Japanese soldier paused and left quickly.
Mizuno Asahi had already prepared for the worst at this moment. If the arsenal was lost, he would certainly not be able to escape death.
If it really comes to this, Mizuno Asahi will decisively choose to blow up the arsenal and all the equipment.
This is an arsenal anyway, and the most indispensable thing is weapons and ammunition, and the ammunition stock here is enough to blow this steel monster to pieces.
However, this is the most extreme step, and Mizuno Asahi would never choose this method unless it was absolutely necessary.
As long as there is a chance that his own support can arrive, he will not give up his life.
A few hours into the battle.
The Mizuno Brigade's casualties were also very serious, with more than 400 personnel reduced, or half of the number.
Even though they were all hiding within the fortifications, the 28th Regiment's firepower was overwhelming and unreasonable.
The military situation in the arsenal suddenly became urgent, and Mizuno Asahi sent multiple messages to the New First Army headquarters in succession, urging Neji Okamura to send people for support.
After seeing many telegrams sent from the arsenal, Okamura Neji was also confused. He did not expect that the situation in the arsenal would suddenly become so serious.
The enemy broke through the defense line outside the arsenal, and several supporting troops came from nowhere.
The Mizuno Brigade had abandoned its outer defense line and instead used the arsenal to fight a defensive battle with the Eighth Route Army, just to hold on a little longer and wait for support to arrive.
The war situation in the arsenal has changed so much that it completely exceeded Okamura Neji's expectations.
Where did Tubal Road come up with so many troops?
He now fully believed that the unit attacking the arsenal was the 28th Regiment.
This style of play is so familiar to Neji Okamura.
First set up a target, and then attack the target location. When the county town was captured, the 28th Regiment used the new regiment as bait to trick a large number of troops into leaving the city for support.
"Damn guys, these bastards are so cunning!" Okamura Neji arrogantly thought that he had mastered the battlefield.
However, I never expected that from the very beginning, the First Army would be completely led by the enemy.
Now, even if they want to withdraw from the battlefield to support them, it depends on whether the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is willing to let go.
New first group, new second group.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie felt something was wrong the more they fought.
A strange thought arose in both of their minds at the same time.
Something was wrong with the little devils surrounded by him. Instead of defending, the ones inside were charging again and again, trying to break out.
The Japanese troops outside who want to support want to leave again, and are trying their best to escape from the battlefield. What kind of support method is there?
Is there something wrong with the little devil?
The two could not contact Ding Wei, so they chose to contact each other at the same time.
When Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had a conversation, they discovered that each other's enemies had the same fighting style.
The Japanese suddenly want to abandon the station. There must be a ghost here!
The battlefield didn't have time to pick up the phone line, but fortunately they all had radio stations donated by Ding Wei, which made communication very convenient.
"Hey, where is that guy Ding Wei?" Li Yunlong asked in a message.
"Who knows, isn't he staying in Haiwan Mountain?" Kong Jie wrote back.
Haiwan Mountain, Haiwan Mountain.
Li Yunlong looked at this place and muttered a few words.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen a truck driving out of Haiwan Mountain. At first, Li Yunlong thought it was an enemy force.
But since I couldn't reach there, I didn't pay much attention to it and just simply recorded it.
But looking at it now, it's obvious that something is wrong.
Li Yunlong suddenly thought of a possibility. The problem was probably on Ding Wei's side.
"Come, come quickly!" Li Yunlong shouted.
"You, go to Haiwan Mountain immediately and see what's going on there!" Li Yunlong said sternly.
"Yes!" the soldier responded and ran down.
"Ding Wei, Ding Wei, are you hiding something from me?" Li Yunlong said to himself.
Recalling that before, Ding Wei had tricked him into setting up a cavalry camp, and that he had unknowingly helped Ding Wei block enemy support and help him capture the county seat.
After being tricked by Ding Wei twice in a row, Li Yunlong began to think back to the previous war and the meeting between the three of them.
Ding Wei, why did you inexplicably pin me down at Haiwanshan, and then let the main attacker give in so easily?
Although Ding Wei is rich, he is too straightforward and seems to be impatient.
Li Yunlong recalled what happened before and felt more and more something was wrong.
"Why do I feel like I'm being plotted by Ding Wei again?" Li Yunlong had a thought in his mind.
Don’t feel like Li Yunlong.
He was really plotted by Ding Wei.
again.
at the same time.
Kong Jie also had the same idea.
Ding Wei gave up the supplies at the station inexplicably. Why was he so willing to go through the mountains?
Kong Jie thought about it and felt that Ding Wei was too generous.
Even if you take down the station and remove the consumed ammunition, you will still be able to have a mouth full of food. Is Ding Wei willing to give up the station to him?
Kong Jie smoked a dry cigarette and looked at the map in front of him, his eyes falling on Haiwan Mountain.
This is where Ding Wei is guarding.
Since Ding Wei is willing to stay in Haiwan Mountain, is there something in this mountain?
Otherwise, why would that kid Ding Wei be willing to feed those smelly mosquitoes in the mountains?
In particular, Ding Wei first pinned Li Yunlong to Haiwan Mountain.
The more Kong Jie thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
I'm afraid that guy Ding Wei is secretly planning to make some big move.
Otherwise, the little devils surrounded by him would not behave so strangely.
When something goes beyond common sense, there must be some ulterior secret hidden behind it.
"Come here, come here!" Kong Jie stood up and shouted.
"Captain, what's wrong?" A soldier ran in quickly.
Kong Jie said: "You, ride your horse to Haiwan Mountain immediately to see what happened to Haiwan Mountain and whether there is anything abnormal. Go back quickly, quickly!"
"Yes!" The soldier stood up to accept the order and ran out quickly.
"Old Ding, Old Ding, don't you want to eat alone again? You want me to help you attract the attention of the Japanese!" Kong Jie took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile.
The soldiers sent by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie went to Haiwan Mountain from two directions.
An hour later, they returned.
"Damn it, I knew it!" Li Yunlong said fiercely: "That guy Ding Wei is plotting against me again!"
Thinking about Ding Wei's strange behavior, wasn't this just a good show to trick him?
At the same time, Kong Jie also sent a telegram.
"There's a fight in Haiwanshan, maybe it's related to that guy Ding Wei!"
When they learned that there was a fight in Haiwanshan, they both realized that they had been tricked by Ding Wei again.
Although they don't know what is in Haiwan Mountain, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie can be sure that there must be a lot of good things in it, otherwise the little devil wouldn't be so anxious.
Is it a secret warehouse of the Japanese, or does Neji Okamura hide in it?
Could it be that the Japanese Emperor is the old dog?
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie made guesses, but they never imagined that there was a Japanese arsenal hidden in Haiwan Mountain.
They are fighting across borders, so it is normal for them to not understand the situation here.
Haiwan Mountain.
The 28th Regiment has surrounded the Haiwanshan Arsenal.
The main reason why this place can be called Haiwan Mountain is because the mountain is really wide enough, like a bowl on the ground.
Otherwise, the little devils would not build an arsenal here.
Ding Wei holds the telescope.
All the Japanese troops stationed here have withdrawn into the factory.
Ding Wei knew very well what the little devil was thinking. He just wanted to hide in it because he didn't dare to attack with heavy artillery.
Each window has been transformed into a shooting port by the Japanese.
Dozens of machine guns, with only one muzzle protruding out, were pouring bullets out at will. The solid arsenal was the last line of defense for the little devils.
As long as you can capture this place, all the equipment inside will be yours.
"Commander, leave it to us, let me lead the brothers to attack!" Zhang Long said.
"Fart, why should I give it to you!" Zhao Hu followed.
"Even if we want to fight, it must be our independent camp!" Shen Quan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Sun Desheng opened his mouth, but in the end he chose not to speak.
In this situation, there is absolutely no need for your own cavalry to follow.
