Chapter 88: Running Out of Ammunition and Food, the Army's Hearts Are in Turmoil!
Checkmate! Checkmate! Checkmate!!! ”
Roaring again and trying to pull Yamada Hiroshi, until Hiroaki Sakamoto saw that Yamada Hiroshi had lost his breath after his head had been blown out by a cannonball fragment, Hiroaki Sakamoto finally gave up dragging Yamada Hiroshi.
At this time, the shells from which direction continued to attack violently, and the shells that kept falling exploded in all directions, and the artillery fire immediately covered the roof of the house where he was currently located.
"Baga Ya Road! It's been discovered! Hiroaki Sakamoto didn't care about asking someone to drag Yamada away, so he could only get off the roof to take shelter before the artillery fire completely covered the roof.
Otherwise, you will not be able to leave, and you will inevitably be completely annihilated by artillery fire!
As for Yamada Hao, who has been shot, he can only be thrown on the roof, and at this time, he can't take care of Yamada Hao, who is already dead.
I saw Hiroaki Sakamoto embarrassed and rolled off the roof under the protection of several guards, and took refuge in the depths of the first floor of the house.
Because most of the common people's buildings in Mazhuang Village are made of bricks and stones, especially the buildings built with stones dug from the mountains, they are very strong.
Therefore, in the bursts of fierce artillery fire, except for the killing of Hiroshi Yamada and a few devil staff officers who were also observing the battle situation on the rooftop, including Hiroaki Sakamoto and other devil command officers, nothing happened.
It's just that Hiroaki Sakamoto at this time is also afraid for a while, and it is obvious that the artillery fire that has not stopped at this moment is constantly exploding, indicating that the command here has been discovered by the other party.
So call for artillery bombardment, in an attempt to blow up their headquarters.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Violent explosions kept coming, Hiroaki Sakamoto's neck was cold, and he muttered in his heart, this other party is clearly trying to blow up this place!
After a few minutes, the shelling had almost stopped, but from the approaching shouts of killing, Sakamoto knew that the blocking battle was very unfavorable everywhere.
Sure enough, there were constantly devil heralds rushing here to report the battle situation directly to Hiroaki Sakamoto, who was already the supreme commander.
"Report to the brigade commander, the west may not be able to stop it! Heavy casualties, the 16th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Wing requested reinforcements! ”
"No reinforcements, tell the 3rd Infantry Brigade, hold me off!"
"Report to the brigade commander, the enemy troops coming in from the south are already less than fifty meters away from the headquarters!"
"The brigade commander, Miaoxiongjiro and others urgently reported that it was He Yongjie's headquarters of the fourth battalion of the new 1st Regiment who raided the hilltop position north of Mazhuang. At present, there are less than 800 people in Myokuma Jiro and other departments, and they are asking for artillery support! ”
"Brigade Commander ......"
The report of their own complicated battle situation made Hiroaki Sakamoto anxious.
As the news that Hiroshi Yamada was killed by the artillery fire of the new regiment spread, the remnants of the Japanese army on the south road of the Japanese 2nd Division at this time were in turmoil.
And this turmoil in the army's heart caused the Japanese army to be at a loss to respond, and the defensive positions of the barricades were constantly lost.
"Bagaya Road, give me all the resistance, the airdrop supplies will come immediately, as long as we hold it for twenty minutes, the supplies will be airdropped!" Hiroaki Sakamoto could only keep yelling at the devil herald who came to report the battle situation with a gloomy face.
It's just that as for whether it can boost the morale of the devils, even Hiroaki Sakamoto doesn't know.
At this time, the chief of staff of the 3rd Brigade, General Shito, who had already rushed back from the front line to personally report on the situation of supervising the battle, saw the angry Sakamoto Hiroaki, and could only bite the bullet to comfort Sakamoto Hiroaki, who was a little out of proportion, "Brigade commander, please hold steady, you are now our last pillar!" What about the generals? ”
Although he had already learned the news that Yamada Hiroshi was killed, at this time, Shidu Shoichi still asked in disbelief.
Hiroaki Sakamoto smiled bitterly, knowing that Chief of Staff Shidu Shoji was kind to persuade him, and then pointed to the top of his head.
"The general's corpse is on the roof, but now there is constant artillery fire on the roof, and I don't have time to take the general's corpse! The artillery fire of the other side is roaring, and the density is too great, at this time, I am afraid that the body of General Yamada has been blown to pieces. ”
As soon as Shidu General confirmed that Yamada Hao had died in battle, he no longer paid attention to Yamada Hao's affairs, but said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, I just came back from supervising the battle everywhere. I believe that the brigade commander has already learned about the battle situation everywhere! The situation is not optimistic, Li Yunlong is going to annihilate us completely, the firepower continues to be ferocious, and there is no action to slow down the attack speed at all! ”。
"Now there is no way, Li Yunlong's new regiment has always been invincible against the elite troops of the empire. And the soldiers of the empire are all treated quickly. Even if we surrender, we won't be able to live! Therefore, Chief of Staff, you must supervise all the departments and resist to the death! ”
Hiroaki Sakamoto said in a condensed voice: "I will immediately send an urgent telegram to the military headquarters again and ask for air support to speed up and arrive!" As long as the airdrop supplies arrive, we should not have a problem holding on for another half an hour. ”。
"Please rest assured, brigade commander, I will immediately lead the team to supervise the battlefields everywhere! As for whether he can withstand it, he also feels that he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”
Shidu Jiang smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
Hiroaki Sakamoto was helpless, so he could only wave his hand and signal Shidu to go out to supervise the battle.
Then, Hiroaki Sakamoto called to the only devil signal soldier in the command headquarters and ordered: "Immediately send a report to the military headquarters of the First Army, reporting that His Excellency Hiroshi Yamada, Chief of Staff, has been killed by the artillery fire of the new regiment and has sacrificed his life for the empire." And most importantly, ask the commander for support! ”。
"Hay, Brigade Commander!" The devil's communication soldier paused heavily, and then hurried away to send a report.
At this time, the sound of gunfire and shouting and killing that was getting closer and closer had already reached Sakamoto Hiroaki's ears clearly and audibly, and the old devil who listened was very anxious.
In less than a minute, Hiroaki Sakamoto's urgent telegram again arrived at the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City.
At this time, in the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, the Japanese staff officers who were going back and forth were calculating the current battle situation on the sand table.
"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Chief of Staff, Hiroaki Sakamoto Urgent!" When the two old devils, Okabe Naosaburo and Miyano Taro, were staring around the sand table in the military headquarters command room, the sound of footsteps came in a hurry, and a devil communication staff officer rushed to the place with a telegram, and immediately stood upright!
Okabe Naosaburo immediately took the urgent telegram handed over by the communications staff officer, read it carefully for less than ten seconds, his face changed greatly, and then handed it to Major General Miyano Taro, chief of staff of the First Army on the side!
"Your Excellency, the situation is not good. Yamada Hao was killed by the artillery fire of the new regiment, and the remnants of the Imperial Army on the South Road of the 2nd Division were in turmoil, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on! After reading it, Taro Miyano frowned.
Hiroshi Yamada was killed by the artillery fire of the new regiment, and in a short period of time it reached the ears of the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who were holding positions in various parts of Mazhuang.
Judging from the urgent telegram sent by Hiroaki Sakamoto, the battle of Mazhuang is already at the end, and the remnants of the Japanese army under the command of Hiroaki Sakamoto are already in a situation of running out of ammunition and food!
