Okamura Neji was furious. It was the first time since he came to Taiyuan that he felt such physical pain.
The battle plan he formulated had not yet been implemented, and as a result, the troops suffered such heavy losses.
The most annoying thing is that Okamura Neiji didn't even know who the person who attacked their transport train was.
When the support troops arrived, let alone the attacking troops, not even a hair of the enemy could be found.
The troops that caused serious damage to the transport train just disappeared. Even if they wanted to vent their anger, they could not find the target.
"Ishikawa." Okamura Neji said coldly.
Ishikawa immediately understood what he meant and immediately said: "Your Excellency, General, the Special High School has begun searching for information. I believe that it will be possible soon..."
Before he could finish his words, Okamura Neji interrupted him rudely: "Ishikawa, what I want is not the future, but now!
As the main person in charge of the Super High School, there has been such a major safety accident in railway transportation, but you have not detected any useful information until now!"
Ishikawa Rei looked sad and thought to himself, don't you still know why the special high school is like this?
It was not because the previous infiltration mission failed, which resulted in the loss of all the elite members of the action team, and the vitality of the special high school class was severely damaged as a result.
Until now, there is still no agent who can take the lead.
But Rei Ishikawa did not dare to say these complaints, and could only lower his head and bear the anger of Okamura Neji.
After venting his nameless anger, Okamura Neji gradually calmed down. Now is not the time to dwell on these things.
The top priority now is to eliminate all these damn Chinese soldiers.
The Third Master's Regiment Headquarters.
Shinji Mikami was sitting at his desk with a bad expression.
There has been no news about the heavy artillery that was supposed to arrive on various battlefields until now, let alone the tanks that were supposed to be in place.
As a result, the attack that should have been launched has been delayed until now.
What exactly is the headquarters doing?
However, Shinji Mikami did not expect that his tank and the artillery regiment that supported the battle would have been turned into scrap metal.
"Kazama-kun, what do you think those guys at the headquarters want to do?" Shinji Mikami looked at Chief of Staff Yutetsu Kazama and asked.
"Report..."
Just as Yute Kazama was about to talk, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
The ringing phone kept ringing.
Yutoru Kazama answered the call, his expression changed, he hurriedly covered the phone and said to Shinji Mikami: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is the call from the headquarters."
Hearing this, Shinji Mikami couldn't help but straighten his body. Perhaps this was the call from the headquarters to inform him that the tanks and artillery were in place.
But this was purely a dream on his part.
The chief of staff of the mountain division, Yute Kazama, didn't know what he heard. In just a few seconds, his expression changed five or six ways.
Shinji Yamayama couldn't help but feel curious as to what kind of phone call this was.
"idiot!"
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Yutetsu Kazama cursed angrily, hung up the phone, and angrily came to Mikami Shinji's side.
The banging sound of the phone made the officers in the entire command headquarters a little confused. They all looked at Yuteru Kazama, wondering what happened.
"Kazama-kun, what's wrong?" Shinji Mikami asked, "What did the headquarters say?"
"Something happened!" Kazama Yutetsu said concisely: "The train transporting supplies was attacked by the enemy, and all the heavy weapons were destroyed in the attack."
"Nani, destroyed?" Shinji Mikami was completely shocked by Yute Kazama's words.
That's an entire train transporting supplies!
"Who did it and when was the attack done?" Shinji Mikami asked urgently.
"We don't know yet. It was just early this morning." Yutetsu Kazama said with a solemn expression: "According to the headquarters, the attacking troops used a very special weapon."
"Special weapon?" Shinji Mikami was confused.
Kazama Yutetsu said: "Yes, according to what the surviving patrol cavalry said, from the time they discovered that the train was under attack to the time they went to support it, it took less than an hour."
After a pause, he continued: "But when they arrived at the battlefield, they found that the battle was over and all the weapons and equipment had been destroyed.
Then, Yutetsu Kazama talked about some details of the battlefield and the scene when the cavalry discovered the clues.
"A scene as beautiful as fireworks?" Shinji Mikami thought for a while and said solemnly: "I understand, this is an incendiary bomb!"
"Incendiary bombs?" Kazama Yuteru was silent for a while, and then said: "But what kind of incendiary bomb is it? The range is so wide.
To cause such a large-scale destruction, the only solution was to use an airdrop from an airplane, but the warriors did not hear the sound of the airplane."
Naturally, they have incendiary bombs in their army, but their power is far from that great.
Shinji Mikami was a little irritable. He lost his heavy firearm and it would be difficult for them to fight again.
"Is this what the headquarters called you to say?" Shinji Mikami asked.
Kazama Yutetsu said again: "No, the headquarters ordered us to launch an attack against the China Army immediately to eliminate the resistance forces here!"
Upon hearing this, Shinji Mikami began to curse in his heart.
It wouldn't matter if he was just encircling and suppressing one unit. His Third Division was fighting on multiple fronts. Without follow-up heavy firearms support, this operation would be extremely difficult.
Although Shinji Mikami is a complete militant, it does not mean that this guy is a brainless reckless man.
The most important thing for the imperial army to win a battle was their heavy artillery.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do this time?" Yuteru Kazama had a toothache.
Shinji Mikami said angrily: "What else can we do? Of course we should continue fighting. Is it possible that because of this difficulty, we will give up the attack?"
"What the division commander said is absolutely true, but we don't have many heavy weapons now, and we don't have many tanks. How are we going to fight?" Yutetsu Kazama said.
"It's very simple!" Shinji Mikami said: "Hit all the artillery pieces together and bomb the national army's positions."
"Concentrate them all?" Yuteru Kazama was dumbfounded, and even thought Shinji Mikami was crazy.
Shinji Mikami nodded and said: "That's right, it's all concentrated. Since our firepower is no longer enough, we might as well concentrate all our firepower to deal with our most difficult enemy at the moment!"
Saying that, Shinji Mikami clicked on the map.
Looking in the direction of his hand, the location was clearly the location of the 358th Regiment.
"You mean the 358th Regiment?" Kazama Yutetsu asked.
"That's right." Shinji Mikami said with a smile: "The location of the 358th Regiment is the closest to where we are, and it is also a very important defensive point.
Once we destroy its position, we can continue to march forward. Instead of distracting the power of artillery, we should use all our strength to destroy the 358th Regiment's defense line in one go!"
"Hai, I understand my humble position!" Kazama Yutoru nodded heavily.
Mikami Shinji waved his hand and said: "Kazema-kun, go down and make arrangements immediately. I hope that we can have dinner at their position tonight!"
After a pause, Shinji Mikami continued: "Order the Imperial Army in each position to launch an attack immediately, and strive to capture the enemy's position in one go!"
"Hai!" Kazama Yumi paused and ran quickly.
The mountain division has a very strong execution ability. There was originally a large warehouse near the headquarters, but because everyone was waiting for the train, a lot of equipment was not shipped out.
In less than half an hour, an artillery position was successfully established behind the headquarters of the Third Division.
In just 20 minutes, the Japanese artillery observers marked the important military facilities of the 358th Regiment.
Five minutes later, the bombing began.
Rows and rows of artillery shells roared, passed through the air, and blasted towards the 358th Regiment's position.
A violent explosion immediately resounded over the 358th Regiment's position, even though they had taken adequate defensive measures.
But in the face of such intensive bombing, the wooden fortifications obviously could not withstand it.
Chu Yunfei and other regiment officials also hid in the underground command post.
The large-caliber shell hit the ground hard, and immediately there was a deafening explosion, and the ground seemed to shake together.
Dust continued to fall from the roof of the fortification.
Chu Yunfei just blew the dust off the map on the table and continued to look at the map on the table.
"Team, the situation is not good." Fang Ligong said with a worried look on his face: "This time, the little devil has quite the momentum to take down our position in one go."
"Hmph, you want to eat our troops in one breath?" Chu Yunfei snorted coldly: "They have such a big appetite, and they are not afraid of stuffing themselves to death."
However, the sound of artillery fire on the position was really intense, and the bombing lasted for a full fifteen minutes before it stopped.
When the gunfire stopped, Chu Yunfei knew that the Japanese would immediately send troops to attack.
The Japs are sometimes very stupid. When a tactic is used smoothly and a major victory can be achieved, they will never change the tactic easily.
Their current routine is nothing more than artillery bombardment, infantry charge, after the infantry charge, artillery bombardment.
But as the tricks get older, this trick is indeed very useful. Shinji Mikami was determined to attack them, so he naturally tried his best.
Two hours into the battle, the Japanese army had already carried out three charges and successfully set up a combat position 300 meters away from the main position of the 358th Regiment.
The Japanese troops on the left and right wings also successfully deployed combat positions.
The entire 358th regiment was defeated and resisted, and the battle between the two sides immediately entered a stalemate.
The troops invested by the Japanese army were only one infantry brigade and two infantry squadrons.
To describe the current battlefield situation in one sentence, it is very pessimistic, and very pessimistic.
According to this kind of offensive, if they attack a few more times, they won't be able to hold on for long.
Chu Yunfei understood this very well, but the situation in the remaining positions was even worse. In some positions, the Japanese troops had even broken through and started hand-to-hand combat.
And this is because they don't have any extra artillery support.
The attacking Japanese troops only used the mortars and grenades equipped by the regiment itself.
This further proves how big the gap between the two sides is.
"Everyone, the situation is not good." Fang Ligong looked melancholy and had a bandage on his arm.
While he was observing the position in front of him, a mortar shell landed near him. If the guards had not responded in time, Fang Ligong would have died on the spot.
The shrapnel from the explosion only injured his arm, and the health worker hurriedly bandaged and disinfected him.
Chu Yunfei was not much better either. He was disgraced and had a scar on his face.
The grenade shell exploded near him, and the raging shrapnel only scratched his cheek.
Chu Yunfei, who had always been elegant and easy-going, was hurt by the Japanese and became furious, but there was nothing he could do.
In particular, the opponent's words about meritorious deeds were somewhat ominous, and he felt the same way. He knew very well that what he was facing might be the enemy's main force.
Because the location of the 358th Regiment is an extremely important location, it is not surprising that the Japanese army increased its strength.
Chu Yunfei looked through the underground observation port toward the front of the position. The Japanese troops launched another wave of attacks.
But in the end, the 358th Regiment was slightly better and drove the enemy back again, but Chu Yunfei knew that this was in vain.
If we want to win the battle now, we probably can only pray to God for a group of divine soldiers to take over the Japanese artillery positions and give the 358th Regiment a chance to breathe.
God seemed to have heard his prayers and sent him a magical army.
This unit is the Second Battalion led by Ding Wei.
Since they attacked the Japanese train yesterday, Ding Wei and the others naturally would not evacuate so calmly in order to avoid the Japanese troops.
Ding Wei led his troops to move around, marching all the way, fighting guerrillas with the enemy while retreating, until in the end they didn't even know where they were.
Looking at this completely unfamiliar place, Ding Wei was scratching his head. Although he got rid of the Japanese and puppet troops, they were also lost.
What's even more embarrassing is that they are getting further and further away from their base, and instead they are running near Chu Yunfei's territory.
Just when Ding Wei was thinking about whether to go and play with Chu Yunfei, he suddenly heard a subtle scream coming from his ears.
Then, he saw rows of cannonballs streaking through the air and heading into the distance.
Um!
Ding Wei suddenly became energetic, this is a fucking war.
Lu Fang was already a veteran, so he sent several scouts to investigate the situation without Ding Wei opening his mouth.
Soon, the scouts came back.
To put it simply, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was attacked by the Japanese.
Hearing this, Ding Wei suddenly became happy.
"Captain, do we need help?" Lu Fang asked.
Ding Wei grinned: "Help, of course I want to help, but we are not helping Chu Yunfei, but the little devil."
"Help the little devil?" Lu Fang was a little surprised.
Ding Wei said with a smile: "Yes, the little devil is so angry, we can just help the little devil to calm down the anger!"
While talking, Ding Wei held up his binoculars and looked at the cannonballs in the sky.
"Help the Japanese to put out the fire?" Lu Fang was a little confused, and then said: "You mean, let's go for a sneak attack and attack from both front and back?"
Ding Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not. We are all team-level units. We have a bigger appetite and a longer-term vision."
Based on the number of shells, Ding Wei guessed that they were near the Japanese artillery position.
If it is really an artillery position, there will definitely be a Japanese command post. With a command post, maybe the Japanese field warehouse is also nearby.
The little Japanese suffered heavy losses yesterday, and to start a war suddenly today and attack such an important place is a hasty start to the war.
It looks like the Japanese are baring their teeth and claws, but in fact they are just paper tigers. As long as they can follow them, they will not be able to survive for three days based on their inventory!
"What did you say?"
After listening to Ding Wei's thoughts, Lu Fang was surprised and said: "Sneak attack on the Japanese command post?"
