"Reporting to the division commander, the front troops were blocked by the Chinese troops, with 41 casualties. In addition, more than a dozen trucks of supplies were damaged, and the whereabouts of the other party are unknown!"
On the mountain road not too far from Meiling Town, the commander of the Sakai Division listened to the report of his soldiers and remained silent.
Along the way, he had received several such reports, knowing that the leading troops had encountered a strong resistance and the casualties were increasing.
However, the more the opponent behaved like this, Sakai believed that the opponent definitely did not want him to rush to Meiling Town, so he ordered the troops not to stop and to speed up to reach Meiling Town.
"Presumably the Yanhuang Army must be gathering and mobilizing troops, planning to take advantage of our unstable foothold to counterattack and retake Meiling Town, so they will try to delay our trip as much as possible." Sakai Division Commander thought this way,
I secretly felt that the other general's mind was too simple.
This time, his division headquarters had left its original garrison and rushed to Meiling Town with the two regiments that came for support. They were accompanied by a brigade of Li Shouxin's security army, headed by the security brigade.
Chang Tang was also a fierce bandit.
Although they encountered repeated obstructions, the troops led by Sakai Division arrived at Meiling Town the next morning.
At the entrance of Meiling Town, the leader of the Panasonic Brigade had already been waiting here in uniform, and behind him were some officers of the brigade.
Today's Panasonic Brigade Commander's face is red, and it can be seen that he is in a good mood. He successfully captured Meiling Town. Although the casualties were a bit larger, it is still a greater achievement. What is not perfect now is to chase and escape.
If the two remaining brigades of the Yanhuang Legion also successfully complete their mission and come back, then this will be a perfect operation.
People are in high spirits during happy events, so the commander of the Matsushita Brigade was in good spirits and his military uniform was very straight. He stood at the entrance of the town early and waited for the commander of the Sakai Division and his party.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the armored vehicle headed by Sakai Division Commander appeared at the end of the road in front of Meiling Town. It was protected by troops at the front, rear and left, and was heading towards Meiling Town.
"Please stay alert, the division commander will be here soon." The commander of the Matsushita brigade shouted to the officers behind him, and the people immediately cheered up and looked toward the road.
Armored vehicles rumbled and dust flew. The cavalry opened the way in front, followed by endless infantry. Groups of Japanese soldiers walked in neat rows, looking quite impressive.
The armored vehicle drove closer and stopped in front of Matsushita and the others. Then the door opened and Sakai stepped out and stood in front of them. He was dressed in a brand-new military uniform, and the golden collar badge on his shoulders shone brightly in the sun.
.
"Hello, division commander!" All the Japanese officers saluted him together.
Sakai waved to everyone, and then said with a smile, "Everyone, you performed well this time. You successfully captured Meiling Town and made a good start for this sweep of the three eastern provinces. On behalf of the Sakai Division, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
You express your gratitude." He bowed as he spoke.
Everyone hurriedly returned the favor!
"However, the Yanhuang Army has not been wiped out yet, and the bandit leader Luo Xiao has not been captured yet, so you cannot be lax and careless. You must pursue the victory and completely eliminate them." As the commander of the Sakai Division said, he looked at Panasonic who was standing aside.
Brigade commander, "By the way, how many people were killed in the garrison in Meiling Town?"
Hearing his question, the commander of the Panasonic Brigade looked a little embarrassed, because they hardly killed many troops of the Yanhuang Army in the attack on Meiling Town. They were completely suppressed by others. Later, they were able to capture Meiling Town.
Quit voluntarily.
Of course, the Matsushita brigade commander couldn't say that, otherwise the Sakai division commander would have been furious. He had killed a whole brigade of troops but not killed a few people in the end. This is simply unacceptable.
Thinking of this, the commander of the Matsushita brigade put his legs together and said respectfully, "Report to the division commander, the brigade made repeated attacks, and the Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties. Later, they could no longer hold up and withdrew from the position, taking all the corpses with them before leaving.
, so we cannot accurately assess the results."
"Oh, in that case, forget it. Being able to capture Meiling Town is a miracle." Sakai waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "I originally thought it would take a week to capture Meiling Town, but it didn't happen.
Thinking that we can win it so quickly, I believe the Kwantung Army headquarters will be happy to hear the news."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Panasonic felt relieved!
At this moment, a Japanese soldier ran over from a distance, holding a telegram in his hand. He looked very urgent. He came closer and hurriedly handed the document to the Matsushita brigade commander, "Brigade commander, this is Ozaki."
Telegram from Captain and Captain Yamaguchi."
"Ah -" Panasonic took the telegram from the telegraph operator's hand and glanced at it casually, but the next moment he was stunned, and the boss was speechless with his mouth open.
The commander of the Sakai Division noticed his abnormality at a glance, so he reached out to grab the telegram from his hand and read it at a glance.
After reading it, Sakai's originally sunny face suddenly darkened. He turned to look at Panasonic and asked in a deep voice, "Panasonic, what's going on?"
Matsushita also understood at this time, and he hurriedly explained, "Division Commander, after I occupied Meiling Town, some of the remnants of the Yanhuang Army fled away, so I sent two brigades to chase them. I thought they could be easily eliminated.
They, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by them."
"Enter the city and study how to rescue them immediately." The commander of the Sakai Division threw the telegram to Matsushita, and then walked towards the city. Japanese officers followed behind, and they all entered Meiling Town.
On a hill about two or three miles away from the entrance of Meiling Town, there are dense woods everywhere.
Chu Yifei raised his head from behind the sniper scope, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "Grandma, I will let you live for two more days, and then I will send you to the West."
Just now, Commander Sakai didn't expect that when he was standing at the gate of the city, a sniper rifle was pointed at him. The sniper scope never left his vital points. He only needed to lightly tap the trigger, and blood would be waiting for him.
Splashed on the spot.
Chu Yifei was sent by Luo Xiao to support Xu Minghan and the others. Following him were 36 snipers from the Stinger Team. They were all equipped with high-strength alloy body armor and alloy bulletproof helmets. In addition, the sniper rifles in their hands were all
It was replaced with a fully automatic high-precision sniper rifle with an ammunition capacity of 50 rounds, which greatly improved its combat capabilities.
This time, their main task is to monitor the Japanese soldiers in Meiling Town, deliver information to Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang at any time, and then wait for orders to carry out a special mission.
Therefore, Chu Yifei held up his sniper rifle and took aim for a long time, but in the end he did not fire.
