Could it be that this was the first battle and he was going to lose a full infantry squad?
Beicang Mandu knew that if this was the case, he might have a medal, but it would have nothing to do with him, Beicang Mandu.
Because he will become the commander who lost 25% of the battle in just one round. Not only will he set a record for the group, regiment, and brigade, but he may even top the entire division!
The reason why he is not served by Big Ears is probably because Amaterasu stole his mom.
If you want to save it, you must save those guys who are suffering in hell.
Turning his eyes slightly, Beicang Mandu saw the four-story building about 200 meters away from his position and diagonally opposite the Sihang Warehouse.
According to the regulations, a vanguard team must first check the safety of the building before entering, but at this time, there were so many people there, so he had to rescue his subordinates.
"Order the 2nd Squadron on the left wing, which is responsible for covering, to go around the four-story building with their assigned machine gun group and grenade group, use its height to suppress the Chinese rooftop firepower, and cover the 1st Squadron until they withdraw.
out.
At the same time, fire a red flare and ask Major Hide Toyoda for help." Kitakura Manto gave the order quickly and decisively.
This is the only thing he can do for his subordinates.
In the distance, the combat staff in the headquarters of the Japanese 1st Infantry Battalion, which was 800 meters away from the Sihang Warehouse, saw the red flare fired from the left wing and quickly reported to Toyoda who was on the phone to the artillery squadron.
"Captain, Captain Beicang on the left wing sends a signal for help!"
"Oh?" The anger that appeared on Toyoda's face when he received the bad news just after hanging up the phone was not the anger he should have had. At that moment, the feeling was indescribably weird.
Is the Major going crazy? The lieutenant combat officer said that he really didn't understand the strangeness on his boss's face, so he could only lower his eyelids and pretend he didn't see anything.
Obviously, as an official, the lieutenant staff is more mature than most people. The boss's expression often represents his behavior. Being happy requires him to flatter him, and this is the case at present! Talking less is the most correct choice.
He certainly didn't know the complexity of the Japanese Major's heart at the moment. If Beicang Mandu succeeded in the battle, then his Major Toyoda Hide would become the background, the negative kind.
After all, his 1st Infantry Battalion had suffered more than 100 casualties in two small-scale contact battles with the remaining Chinese troops. No one could wipe them out quietly, right?
The left-wing battlefield was repeated several times, with some losses, and then final success was the most ideal result in his mind.
Toyoda even tried to be a little careful about this, not mentioning that this remnant of the Chinese army was a little different from the Chinese troops he had encountered before.
As a result, Beicang Mandu was frustrated, which was in line with his wishes.
That is, the degree of frustration was beyond his expectation, and he actually fired a red flare to represent a request for full tactical support. It was almost like being beaten to tears!
It doesn't matter that the idiot Beicang Mandu was beaten to tears, even his 1st Infantry Brigade will officially go into battle to fight the Chinese.
And the artillery squadron sent by the regiment is still looking for the firing boundary to ensure that the artillery shells will not fall into the concession. Doesn't this mean that the imperial warriors are going to advance against the Chinese machine guns and heavy machine guns?
But without tactical support, he could definitely imagine that at the post-war summary meeting, the distorted pig-headed face of Captain Yin Teng Zhonger of the 3rd Infantry Battalion would curse at him.
That guy was a lowly fisherman, and he didn't care about the elegance of the aristocracy. However, he once entered the palace and worked as a maid, and there was an imaginative story behind it...
A big black guy who might have something to do with His Majesty the Emperor, Toyota Hide's head hurts when he thinks about it.
After struggling internally for more than a minute, the Japanese major finally gave the order:
"Order: The 1st Infantry Squadron and the 4th Infantry Squadron move forward to 400 meters in front of the enemy's position, gather all grenade launchers and select a suitable angle to attack the enemy's rooftop firepower point.
At the same time, let them each send out an infantry squad to conduct a feint attack to reduce the pressure on the left-wing position. The heavy machine gun squadron of the brigade is covered by fire from the front and both wings, and the infantry artillery of the artillery squadron of the brigade focuses on bombarding the underlying fortifications."
Obviously, after losing more than a hundred soldiers, Toyoda Hide was unwilling to launch a strong attack when the Chinese heavy firepower points were not cleared by artillery. He ordered his subordinates to feign attacks to contain them. However, it was also because of the vulgarity of the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion that he chose to attack.
He has the appearance of a scumbag whose origins are unclear.
Throwing grenades on the roof of the building so frantically with more than a dozen grenade tubes is still effective. It is almost equivalent to throwing grenades on the roof of the building from 400 meters away. Perhaps it is because of the insufficient field of vision and the fortifications on the roof.
The damage isn't great, but you still have to hide, right?
The four mortars on the roof were not only forced to reduce the frequency of firing, but also pulled out two to fight back against the frontal grenadiers. The two Japanese infantry cannons more than 700 meters away lost seven or eight artillery pieces.
But it was saved by luck.
The area where the grenadiers were on the roof of the building was naturally the key target of the Japanese grenadiers. The roof of the building was bombed into a mess, and the frequency of throwing grenades far away was naturally less than before, leaving the grenades flying.
The remaining 30 or so people in the Japanese squad, who were almost crying after being tortured by shrapnel, finally took a breather.
Also taking a breath like them was their captain, Captain Kitakura Manto. At that time, I felt extremely grateful to Major Toyoda Hide. I almost felt that I could accompany him in any way that Major wanted me to do.
The mood you put on.
Seeing that the attack intensity of the Chinese on the roof was greatly reduced, Beicang Mandu's originally cold fighting spirit was somewhat revived.
If your 2nd Infantry Squadron occupies that building and uses the height of the building to suppress the firepower on the roof, can the demolition team on the ground continue to move forward? In order to achieve the goal of a successful battle?
Within the field of view of the Japanese captain's telescope, more than 50 people from his 2nd Infantry Squad were maneuvering at high speed in the ruins, marching more than 300 meters to avoid Chinese machine gun fire and entering the building.
From a distance, the khaki figure looks like a group of dung beetles that have discovered a dung ball, running extremely fast.
Tactical execution is outstanding.
On the concession building a few hundred meters away.
The Imperial Brigadier General's eyes behind the telescope were narrowed by the sun never setting: "After all, China's commanders are still a bit small!"
"If I were him..."
Inside the warehouse building.
Tang Dao was lying on the corner of the third floor of the building at an observation hole the size of a bowl, quietly watching the khaki figures more than 200 meters away in front of him sink into the building one after another until the last one.
Exhaling gently, the Japanese commander's reaction was much slower than he expected!
"Order......"
"Remind our people on the shore to lie down on the ground! Speak in Sichuan dialect! Time limit, 30 seconds!"
