"Gather your troops now! Let the two captains of Nonaka and Uesugi report to me! The board said in a deep voice to his adjutant, he is in a hurry now!

"Call Your Excellency, the commander of the division, our Akagi Yoshinari was attacked by heavy artillery of the Shina troops on the way to the Red Square to support! More than 500 imperial warriors are now besieged in the mountains near Xiayang Village, and now call the division commander to guide our troops to rescue them! ”

Akagi Yoshisei's telegram made him feel a hint of crisis, if Akagi Yoshinari was annihilated, then there was no doubt that he would also be implicated!

You know, until now the Japanese army has not lost a squadron of troops at one time after the departure of the 52nd Division! If your own brigade is annihilated, then the impact can be imagined!

Therefore, it seems that the Akagi Brigade must not be lost on the board! But you can't go out with the whole army, Longyan always has to defend. How to deploy troops, this depends on the strategy on the board.

However, fortunately, there are still two brigades in the board wing, so there are still enough troops to deploy.

"Report! Nonaka and Uesugi come to report to the chief! After a while, I remembered the human voice outside the door. Following the sentence on the board, I saw two Japanese officers wearing the rank of Shaozo slowly walking into the office.

The board was not polite, and after they saluted, he directly handed them Akagi's telegram and said in a deep voice: "Akagi Yoshisei, your colleagues have now fallen into the trap of the Shina people. At least one of the main forces of the branch used heavy artillery to bombard him, and now he has shattered more than five hundred imperial warriors! I am urgently asking for tactical guidance! ”

The two Shao Zuo couldn't help but be surprised, and then respectfully took the telegram and looked at it carefully.

At this time, the board also stood up and said in a deep voice to the two: "According to the news from the Red Fang, although they have encountered the artillery of the Zhina army now, they have not encountered heavy artillery. But Akagi was attacked by heavy artillery! This point has to be worth pondering! ”

These two were also silent after reading the telegram, they are not stupid! Naturally, it can be seen that if Red uses heavy artillery on the Red Chamber, then the Red Lodge will definitely be difficult to hold!

But strangely, they didn't even use heavy artillery against the Red Square. Instead, he attacked Akagi Yoshinarari's troops who went to support with heavy artillery, why is this?! What is their strategic purpose?!

"There is no doubt that the Shina troops used some means to surround Akagi Yoshini's troops! And with heavy artillery attacked Akagi Yoshinori's troops. But he saw the two of them on the board and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that they shouldn't have too many shells." Otherwise, Akagi's loss would not only be so light. ”

"But their tactical purpose has been achieved. Akagi lost artillery and most of the heavy machine guns and grenadiers and could not hold up for long. What we need now is to rescue the Akagi Brigade, which is running out of ammunition and food! ”

The two captains nodded, and that was the only thing they could do now. There's no way, otherwise you can still watch Akagi Yoshinari be annihilated?!

"Report! The division commander called back! At this time, there was a report from outside the door. The board said come in, and the adjutant walked in with a telegram.

He took the telegram and looked at it, but saw that it was an order from the division commander to give him permission to attack. However, it was required that a squadron of troops must be retained on the board to garrison Longyan City.

A squadron of the Japanese army was nearly two hundred people, and if nothing else, it would be enough to hold the arsenal. On the board, he admired the quick reaction of his division commander. He said to Nonaka, "Nonaka! Your brigade is left with an infantry squadron to defend the arsenal! ”

"Hay!" Nonaka replied loudly, while the board whispered to the two of them, "Then, let's go and gather troops!" Nonaka, remember to let those security forces take care of the perimeter, and your squadron is the core guard! This arsenal is related to the strategy of the entire division and even China! If something goes wrong, you and I can't run away from responsibility! ”

"Hay! Subordinates understand! Please rest assured that your subordinates will never fail to live up to the trust of Your Excellency the Captain! But when he saw Nonaka answering loudly at the board, the board nodded.

He ordered the squadron in the field to carry out this mission. It is also a fancy to Nonaka, who has relatively rich experience in warfare, and at the same time is also rigorous in governing the army. It's a pity that he didn't know that there was a group of people in this Longyan City waiting for him to get out of the city!

"Then, you two gather your troops at once! Follow me out of the city in ten minutes to support Akagi! ”

"Hail!!" The two captains replied loudly. Then he hurried down to gather his troops. The build-up of the Japanese army naturally fell into the eyes of the staff who were watching them.

This news also spread to the crow, and Huo Qingyun still said softly without hurry: "Don't worry, send a telegram to the instructor." Let's just say that the Japanese army attacked, and if they moved quickly, they would eat that brigade, and if they didn't succeed, they would quickly retreat. Don't be swallowed by the Japanese. ”

The telegraph man nodded, and then hurried down to send a report to Zhang Yan and them. Zhang Yan, who got the telegram, then forwarded the telegram to Zhao Cheng, who was commanding the battle, and Zhao Cheng was also anxious when he read the telegram! Said fiercely.

"This little devil is really fast! This is a must-have......" Zhang Yan sighed, the red lacked heavy weapons, and it would indeed be difficult to take down the Japanese army, which was equipped with most grenadiers and heavy machine guns, for a while.

Attacking the Japanese until now. Zhao Cheng has already filled in more than a thousand people! And the Japanese army, which did not eat this share of more than 1,000 people, would be unwilling to change anyone!

But what's the solution?! If the Japanese wing kills it, it will be against a whole Japanese wing! Even if there is one less squadron, it will be at least more than two thousand people!

They have already inquired about the Japanese wing stationed in Longyan, and it is to strengthen the wing! The wing has an artillery brigade of 364 people directly under it. Armed with 8 92 infantry guns! And 3 gun platoons of 33 people, six 37mm anti-tank guns!

Not to mention a brigade in Zhaocheng, even if the main force of the red army comes, it may not be able to withstand it!

After gritting his teeth for a while, Zhao Cheng could only ask his subordinates to gather troops and warn them to prepare to withdraw their troops! But how can the ministries with heavy casualties be willing to withdraw?!

Zuo Hao, the commander of the second regiment, a man from Fujian, immediately cried loudly, and shouted at Zhao Cheng: "Brigade commander!" You can't withdraw it! More than 300 comrades of our Second Regiment have died here. I'm going to withdraw, how can I explain to the other comrades in the regiment......"

The commanders of the other regiments also had gloomy faces and did not speak, and no one was willing to withdraw! But we all know the current situation, can it be done without withdrawing?! If the Japanese reinforcements come, not to mention that they have a brigade, even if the main force is all coming, they may not be able to stop them!

"Comrade Zuo Hao!! We are revolutionary soldiers, and we must obey military orders!! The brigade chief of staff with a pyrotechnic face said to Zuo Hao: "I don't want to withdraw either, but the current situation is that we have to withdraw!" If the main force of the devil arrives, not to mention that our brigade will not be able to withstand the main force of the headquarters!! ”

"But haven't they come yet?!" Zuo Hao wiped his tears, and said to the brigade chief of staff: "If we are fast enough, we can still fight down......

"What if you can't beat it?! What if the Japanese arrived, and we hadn't withdrawn and were surrounded by them?! Do you want to think about other comrades?! Zhao Cheng scolded Zuo Hao directly: "You know that you are rushing!" Rush! Rush!! Comrades sacrificed, I don't feel distressed?! I feel more distressed than anyone else!! But what can be done?! If the Japanese were to surround it, all the comrades of our brigade would have to die here!! ”

Zuo Hao was silent, but looking at the unwillingness on his face, he knew that he was still unwilling to withdraw. At this time, Zhang Yan said to them thoughtfully: "Old Zhao, I have a way. ”

"Oh?!" But when he saw Zhao Cheng facing Zhang Yan, he said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

"We have one more chance to shoot, and even if we use it for fire support for you, we may not be able to get in." saw Zhang Yan smiling at the red crowd and said, "But it's still possible to block the Japanese army's support forces, at least to slow down their march." And it can be used as an early warning. ”

"My opinion is that we are in ambush on a mountain road. If the Japanese are about to arrive, I will fire artillery. One is to remind you that you are about to retreat when you hear the sound of cannons! ”

"The other is to block the Japanese army and give you time to evacuate."

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but nod after listening to Zhang Yan's words, now the Japanese troops on the position have learned well. All of them are skirmishers, and they are equipped with grenadiers and other grenadiers to defend small areas, and they are connected by dots.

The distribution of firepower is extremely reasonable, and Zhao Cheng has gone up to see it. According to his judgment, without heavy firepower, it would be difficult to pull out the Japanese firepower points one by one.

"I think Lao Zhang's proposal is good!" The brigade chief of staff nodded, and said to Zhao Cheng: "Brigade commander, this is also the best way!" Otherwise, I won't be reconciled if I withdraw like this!! ”

Zhao Cheng thought about it and nodded in agreement, Zuo Hao and the others couldn't help but be excited when they saw that their brigade commander agreed! saw Zhang Yan looking at them solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Remember! We only used artillery, and we couldn't stop the Japanese for long. As soon as you hear the sound of artillery, you must retreat immediately no matter what!! There must be no delay, or there is a danger of total annihilation! ”

Zhao Cheng also stood up and nodded solemnly, grabbed Zhang Yan's hand and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhang, I thank you on behalf of our brigade!" We owe you this favor! ”

"Hahaha...... It doesn't matter who owes whom! Zhang Yan also held Zhao Cheng's hand and said in a deep voice: "As long as it is a Japanese devil, it is our brother!" This is the national interest, this is the national interest! The first word that our commander-in-chief taught us was the interests of the state and the nation! Any of us Weremacht has the words of the Commander-in-Chief in our hearts! ”

"At all times and under all circumstances, the interests of the country and the nation must be above all politics, beliefs and ideologies!!" (To be continued)
