Chapter 155 Chief of Staff: They Have No Chance to Fire (Subscribe)
Major General Miyazawa has already been defeated once, and he must not fail again.

If he wanted to stay in the [-]th Mixed Brigade, he had to make up for his mistakes and make meritorious deeds, or he would not make mistakes in the next tenure. Denying any failure may send him to a military court.

Now that he ordered the troops to retreat, he could still blame Kazuki Yamamoto for the failure of the operation.

If he insists on going his own way and continues to attack, in case of an accident on the way, he will not be able to find a target to shirk responsibility.

For his own future, Major General Miyazawa had no choice but to listen to the opinion of the chief of staff. He patted the table again and ordered: "Just do as you said, and immediately send a telegram to the three-way offensive force. The attack plan is cancelled, and return to Yangquan immediately. The sooner the better, but we must strengthen our vigilance to prevent the troops from being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hai..."

Harada Nakasa didn't dare to delay for a second, turned around and ran to the telecommunications room.

Major General Miyazawa's nerves, which had been tense for most of the night, calmed down at the same time. He felt that the operation was over here, and began to consider how to report this matter to the military headquarters.

Half an hour later, a telegram that had been carefully considered by him appeared on the table.

As long as this telegram is sent to the military headquarters, he can continue to serve as the brigade commander.

"General...we can't get in touch with Shaozuo Jiamu..." The chief of staff ran over in panic.

"Nani..."

Major General Miyazawa happened to be standing next to the table. When he heard the bad news, he almost fell to the ground. He asked in disbelief, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

"We can't get in touch with Master Jiamu... The radio operator has been calling for half an hour without receiving any response. I'm worried that something happened to them!"

"Have you contacted the other two brigades?" Major General Miyazawa continued to ask.

"Contacted! They have already started to retreat!" Nakazuo Harada replied.

"That's good..." Major General Miyazawa continued to order: "Let the operator continue to contact Major Jiamu..."

"Immediately send out scouts and cavalry to search for the Jiamu brigade. If you want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death. We must find them!"

"Send another telegram to the two brigades you have contacted... You must strengthen your guard on the way to retreat..."

"If an accident happens to the Jiamu Brigade, they are likely to be targeted by the Eighth Route Army!"

"In case of an accident, report to the brigade headquarters immediately, and I will contact the air force to provide them with air support!"

After Harada Nakasa left, Major General Miyazawa silently put away the telegram that had been written on the table, tore him into pieces with a sullen face, and sat back on the chair to consider the content of the telegram...

In the Zhouzhuang position, the first guard battalion to arrive here is relying on the village to establish a blocking position...

The road for the Japanese army to retreat to Yangquan happened to pass by the side of the village. If the devils wanted to retreat to Yangquan smoothly, they had to take down the village first, otherwise all the Japanese and puppet troops would be exposed to the firepower of the Independence Regiment, and they would not be able to cross Zhouzhuang alive.

The earth wall surrounding the village was one meter thick and two or three meters high. It used to be used to defend against bandits, and it was very strong. The blocking position of the Independence Regiment was built on this earth wall.

When Kong Jie arrived here, Li Wensheng was organizing troops to dig shooting holes in the earth wall...

"Regimental Commander, I dug thirty-six shooting holes in the earthen wall and put them into use one by one. I'm sure it will kill the devil's attacking troops..." Li Wensheng pointed to the shooting holes in the earthen wall and introduced.

Before Kong Jie could speak, Chu Yunfei couldn't help reminding, "Chief of Staff Li..."

"I took a look at this earthen wall. It is indeed very strong and can easily block all the bullets fired by the devil..."

"But the devil is equipped with a large number of artillery, and there are several mountain artillery and infantry artillery that can destroy the bunker..."

"You put the machine gun behind the firing hole and shoot, isn't it a living target for the devil's artillery?"

Li Wensheng's command experience was no less than that of Kong Jie, and his personality was very calm. Since he dared to use shooting holes to attack the devils, he must have already thought of a countermeasure.

Looking at Chu Yunfei, he replied confidently: "Don't worry, Captain Chu..."

"Although the devils are equipped with a lot of artillery, our independent regiment is not vegetarian..."

"I guarantee that from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, the little devil will not even have a chance to fire."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Kong Jie and continued to introduce: "Our assault troops are ambushing in the woods three kilometers away..."

"As soon as the blocking war started, we began to encircle the Japanese army!"

"March quickly to the battlefield in [-] minutes..."

"The blocking troops we deployed in the village are [-]% sure to stop the devils, destroy their artillery units along the way, and create opportunities for other troops to encircle the Japanese and puppet troops..."

Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Since the chief of staff is so confident, then this battle will be directed by you, and I will be the audience with Commander Chu..."

Major General Miyazawa was very cautious. In order to wipe out the Independence Regiment in one battle, he specially dispatched several subordinates who had fought against the Independence Regiment.

Shao Zuo Jia Mu had been killed by Kong Jie, and another captain, Shao Zuo Yamada, happened to be the Japanese commander who attacked the Second Battalion.

He had been defeated by the Independence Regiment and knew how powerful the Independence Regiment was.

After receiving the order to retreat, let the troops change from the front team to the rear team, and from the rear team to the front team, march forward in a hurry, and don't want to stay for a minute.

But the Eighth Route Army reacted faster. No matter how fast I ran, the Eighth Route Army was always active around the team, and the cold guns never stopped, even more intensive than when I was attacking.

Shao Zuo Yamada really wanted to stop and fight back. Even if he couldn't kill the Eighth Route Army around him, if he could defeat them, it would be nice to take revenge.

But reason told him he couldn't stop.

The Independence Regiment had a precedent of annihilating an infantry brigade in one battle. If I stayed here for too long and was blocked by the Independence Regiment in their base area, I would have no chance to withdraw.

If he knew that the Jiamu Brigade had been wiped out by the Independence Regiment, he would definitely run faster, and he wouldn't even have the thought of stopping to fight back...

"Captain, there is a situation in Zhouzhuang ahead..." The forward captain suddenly ran to Shao Zuo Yamada to report.

"What's going on?" Major Yamada asked anxiously with a bad premonition in his mind.

"I think Zhouzhuang is too quiet, so I specially arranged for an infantry squad to go into the village to investigate... As a result, they disappeared after entering the village, did not come out, and did not shoot warning shots!" the leader of the forward squad asked.

"Take someone to see it yourself, and it must be fast..." Major Yamada ordered with a frown.

"If there are not many enemies in the village, kill them directly..."

"If there are many enemies, retreat immediately!"

"Mortar Squadron, Heavy Machine Gun Squadron, First Infantry Squadron, get ready to respond immediately!"

After Yamada gave the order, he climbed up to a small mound next to him, raised his binoculars and looked towards Zhouzhuang.

Zhouzhuang was completely shrouded in darkness, it was pitch black everywhere, and you couldn't see anything.

Five minutes later, six flames suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and a flare was shot into the sky by the artillery squadron at the same time. Yamada Nakazuo also saw the whole picture of Zhouzhuang clearly at this moment.

All six tongues of fire appeared behind the earthen wall at the entrance of the village. The vanguard team was only [-] to [-] meters away from them. When they were suddenly attacked, many soldiers didn't even have a chance to react, and a dozen of them were knocked down in an instant.

The remaining soldiers hurried back, but the entrance to the village was empty, and there were no bunkers.

Facing the rain of bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army at close range, they fell another seven or eight people on the way to retreat!

The vanguard had a full-staffed infantry squad, and lost more than half without even seeing the opponent's shadow. Major Yamada was so angry that he almost dropped his binoculars.

With a calm face, he ordered: "The artillery squadron sent out a mortar to continue firing flares... The other mortars immediately fired at the fire point just now, the heavy machine gun squadron took cover, and the first infantry squadron was ready to attack Zhouzhuang..."

"Rumble..."

Eight rounds of shells quickly hit the earthen wall at the entrance of the village.

The splashing flames and flares illuminated the place brightly, and Shao Zuo Yamada clearly saw that the earthen wall where the Eighth Route Army was hiding was destroyed in the explosion...

Immediately, my mood improved a lot, and a long-lost smile appeared on my serious face...

After three rounds of shells, the earth wall was filled with smoke from the bombing, and there were gaps everywhere.

The more Yamada watched, the more satisfied he was, and he was going to let the artillery squadron fight for another two or three rounds, and then the infantry would go up.

The Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, and rarely engages in positional warfare.

The independent regiment gave up guerrilla warfare and relied on the village to block the Yamada brigade head-on. This abnormal behavior made Yamada Shao Zuo very disturbed, always feeling that the Yamada brigade was being targeted by the independent regiment.

If his judgment is correct, the longer the Yamada brigade spends here, the more dangerous it will be, and they must leave as soon as possible. That's why he was in a hurry to let the infantry attack and open the escape route.

But at this moment, a series of "rumbling..." explosions suddenly sounded in the artillery position. Amid the countless flames, many gunners were blown up, and two mortars were blown into parts in the explosion...

This incident confused Shao Zuo Yamada for an instant, but his reaction was not slow at all. He immediately ordered the artillery squadron to move its position. The mountain artillery squadron and the mortar squadron counterattacked on the spot and killed the mortar troops that had just been exposed by the Eighth Route Army... …

"Boom..." The second round of artillery shells quickly hit the artillery position, setting off a sea of ​​flames again.

Major Yamada's transfer order has not yet been transmitted here, but the artillery squadron leader has already issued the retreat order in advance, but the gunner's reaction speed is not as fast as the flying speed of the shell.

The nine shells that fell from the sky seemed to have eyes, and smashed into the gunners who hadn't retreated again...

After the transfer of the mortar squadron was completed, the original artillery position was filled with gunpowder smoke, and there were charred craters everywhere, scattered mortar parts, bombed gunner corpses, broken limbs, broken arms and organs. ...

On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese artillery had an absolute advantage in artillery fire. Basically, they suppressed the Chinese artillery and beat the Chinese artillery to the ground. It was rare for their own artillery to be suppressed and beaten by the Chinese artillery.

The artillery squadron belonging to the Yamada Battalion is no exception.

Even if you are attacked, you can counterattack quickly, and you have never encountered a situation where you were blown into a rout...

Looking at the bloody artillery positions in front of them, the gunners who survived by chance were all frightened, at least it was impossible to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
