Chapter 74 Encirclement and Suppression of Wangzhuang
at the same time.
The reconnaissance force sent by the Japanese army finally brought back news about the attacking force.
"Higashishima-kun, based on our multiple reconnaissances, we finally discovered the troops suspected of attacking the train." Nishino Heiji hurriedly walked to Higashishima Aoyama and paused.
Hearing this, Dongdao Qingshan's expression changed and he leaned forward slightly: "Speak quickly!"
"Hai!" Nishino Heiji paused and said, "According to the intelligence, the 28th Regiment led an attack on our transport train.
In this case, the attack on the Qingtian County Warehouse should have been carried out by the 28th Regiment, and their ultimate goal was to rob our transport train!"
"The 28th regiment?" Dongdao Qingshan was furious. He slammed the table and said angrily: "It's the damn 28th regiment again?"
Then, Dongdao Qingshan suddenly stood up and shouted: "Where is the 28th Regiment now?"
"Reporting to your Excellency, the captain of the regiment, according to reliable information, they are resting in Wangzhuang!" Nishino Heiji paused and said.
Dong Dao Qingshan nodded slightly: "Immediately call the commander of the Beiyuan Division and tell him that we have found traces of the 28th Regiment.
I request your Excellency, the Division Commander, to issue a combat order, and the Dongdao Regiment will immediately go to Wangzhuang to wipe out this group of Tuba soldiers and avenge the death of the imperial army!"
"Hai!" Nishino Heiji paused and walked quickly.
soon.
Kitahara Kurao in Anwu Castle received the news of the 28th Regiment.
"Damn it, the 28th Regiment, the 28th Regiment again!" Kitahara gritted his teeth aggressively, wishing he could defeat the 28th Regiment on the spot.
Kitahara Kurao did not hesitate, he immediately called back and ordered the East Island Regiment to immediately go to Wangzhuang and destroy the 28th Regiment.
It was the 28th Regiment that robbed their transport convoy, causing the Kitahara Division's mopping up plan to fail.
As a result, the 28th regiment not only successfully broke through their heavy encirclement and suppression, but also killed two regiment captains in the division, causing the Kitahara division to be embarrassed.
not only that.
Japanese soldiers are very concerned about whether they can be worshiped after death.
As a result, the ashes of the two captains Shiina and Kurokawa were destroyed by the 28th Regiment, so the ashes could not be transported back to the country. This further irritated the officers in the Kitahara Division.
I thought that the 28th Regiment would go into hiding, but instead of hiding their whereabouts, they dared to attack their warehouses and rob their transport trains.
Whether it is to clear the name of the Kitahara Division or to wash away the shame on itself, the Kitahara Division must respond.
…
Qingtian County.
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the division commander has agreed to our request for combat!" Nishino Ping ran into the office and said excitedly.
"Xingxi." Dongdao Qingshan nodded and said: "Following the division commander's order, we will set off from the county seat immediately.
This time we must annihilate them all, remove the major worry of the Beiyuan Division Commander, and use their blood to pay tribute to our fallen warriors!"
"Hai!" Nishino Heiji paused.
…
Under the orders of Higashishima Aoyama.
Japanese soldiers belonging to the East Island Regiment filed out of their respective strongholds and marched towards Wangzhuang.
It didn't take long.
Lines of neatly lined up Japanese soldiers appeared on the road. At the end of the line were four trucks, each towing a Type 92 infantry gun at the rear.
In order to completely annihilate the 28th Regiment this time, the Dongdao United Team used all their family resources.
Two full infantry brigades, plus four Type 92 infantry guns, vowed to annihilate the 28th Regiment in one fell swoop.
The Japanese troops walked on the road like a long worm, raising dust and thick smoke everywhere they passed, with an alarming momentum.
The timid people around him did not dare to approach the road when they saw this scene, and hid one after another.
Among the Japanese marching troops, an armored vehicle was driving impressively.
Although it is said to be an armored vehicle, the defensive capabilities of the entire vehicle are actually very worrying, but when used to deal with some troops without anti-tank equipment, it can be regarded as a domineering existence.
This is why Kitahara Kurao specially lent it to Higashishima Aoyama and the others to use as a command vehicle in order to successfully annihilate the 28th Regiment.
In an armored vehicle.
Dong Dao Qingshan's expression was slightly excited.
Nishino Heiji's eyes were full of solemnity: "Your Excellency, Captain, we must not be careless and underestimate the enemy this time. When the 28th Regiment was weak, it once broke out of the imperial army's siege.
We also successfully ambushed the two captains Shiina and Kurokawa, so we should remain vigilant against this enemy."
Dongdao Qingshan snorted coldly when he heard this and said: "I know what you said, but at that time it was because they were careless and underestimated the enemy, and only brought a small group of troops to stay with them.
Such stupid mistakes will never happen to us!"
"Hai!" Nishino Heiji paused and said.
"We have two full infantry brigades and an artillery squadron. We are not afraid even if we face an enemy division, let alone they only have one regiment!" Higashishima Aoyama said disdainfully.
After a pause, Dongdao Qingshan continued: "I have also read all the previous battle reports. It was all because they underestimated the enemy and were taken advantage of by those cunning guys from the 28th Regiment.
Now that we have determined the enemy's location, as long as we increase our vigilance, we can completely defeat them with absolute strength!"
Hearing this, Nishino Heiji nodded in agreement.
Now that the war is imminent, how can he destroy his own prestige? Nishino Heiji said no more.
But these two old devils forgot one thing.
A battle-hardened army will continue to grow.
What's more, Ding Wei and the others robbed a lot of supplies, replaced all their weapons and equipment, and conducted live-fire training desperately, which greatly enhanced their strength.
The current 28th Regiment has undergone a complete transformation and is no longer comparable to the previous 28th Regiment.
Moreover, Ding Wei was also prepared for a rainy day. Before they noticed it, he had already started digging trenches outside Wangzhuang, reinforcing the fortifications, and getting ready for battle.
Not to mention that these little devils only have two brigades and one artillery squadron.
Even if they bring one or even two regiments of troops, the 28th Regiment will definitely be worthy.
The news of the dispatch of Japanese troops was quickly discovered by the patrol troops of the first battalion, and Zhang Long immediately rode back to report.
Wangzhuang.
Zhang Long ran back panting, found Ding Wei, and reported: "Captain, the Japs in Qingtian County are out.
There are about two brigades of troops and four artillery pieces heading towards Wangzhuang."
Ding Wei frowned: "Continue to monitor the movements of the Japanese army and report back at any time!"
The little devil's troops moved much faster than he thought. Fortunately, he was already ready for battle.
"Yes!" Zhang Long responded and rode away again.
Ding Wei immediately gathered his troops and arranged all the units of the 28th Regiment in various positions outside Wangzhuang to prepare for battle, while all the people hid in their cellars.
