Chapter 761 Okamura Ningji Broke His Wrist (First Change)
The 24th regiment followed the 26th regiment, and the second arrived in Baoding.

Facing the garrison and equipment supplies prepared by the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, the reaction was the same as that of Li Zhong. You can't just take advantage of Yizhong and not suffer. You must be worthy of those weapons and ammunition.

Fighting tonight is not only about killing devils and carrying out the task of annihilating the enemy, but also about gratitude, thanks to the Yizhong Eighth Route Army for replenishing the 24th regiment with so many weapons and ammunition.

Zhang Hao, the head of the regiment, personally led a battalion as a commando. Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas, and gods blocked and killed gods.

In just 10 minutes, it rushed forward more than 100 meters, and it was less than 300 meters away from the temporary ring fortifications built by the Japanese army.

"Regimental Commander, the devils have set up three heavy machine guns and six light machine guns in front of us. The casualties caused by a forceful charge are too great. It is best to find a way to destroy these firepower points, even if we can destroy half of them." The first battalion commander stared at the Japanese machine gun positions. Worried analysis.

"Bring up the mortar." Zhang Hao blurted out an order.

"We now have twelve mortars, and each mortar is equipped with fifty rounds of shells. Even if we hit them with shells, I have to kill the little devils in front and open the attack channel."

The first battalion commander did not move, hesitantly reminded: "I also want the artillery to blow them up."

"But all the mortars equipped in the regiment were borrowed by Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, and we couldn't get any of them out."

"Use the Feilei Cannon..." Zhang Hao then said another method that just came to his mind.

The serious face of the first battalion commander immediately blossomed with joy.

He had used the flying thunder cannon in the base area, and he knew how powerful the flying thunder cannon was.

As long as the Feilei cannon is brought under the noses of the Japanese army, try to ensure close-range shooting, and the accuracy is not much worse than that of the grenadier.

Even if the shooting error is relatively large, the powerful lethality and killing radius can make up for the shelling error.

He turned his head and rushed to the battlefield without even saying he was ordered.

"Boom..." Three explosive packs rolled and smashed towards the Japanese outpost.

None were on target, but one of the packs was only five or six meters away from the outpost.

With a nearly 30-meter killing radius of the explosive package, the Japanese troops on the outpost are still within the killing radius.

Flames splashed, smoke billowed, and several light and heavy machine guns called Zhenghuan came to an abrupt stop.

"The trumpeter blows the charge, and the assault team and I press up, charge..." Zhang Hao, the head of the group, got up from the ground immediately, raised the box cannon, and rushed forward, four times fast.

…………

Ningji Okamura was awakened by his subordinates in the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army in Beiping.

According to the scheduled plan, the reinforcements will not be able to arrive in Baoding until after four o'clock in the morning to find out the real situation there.

Before that, no war would break out in the Yizhong Plain.

With this thought in mind, Neiji Okamura began to sleep not long after dark to recharge his batteries for tomorrow's battle.

The accident still happened.

Walking into the war room, he asked with a sullen face: "What is the situation of the Nakamura brigade now, are there too many casualties, and how long can it last?"

"The army has been divided into two by the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing..." The staff officer on duty reported seriously.

"There are less than 500 people left in the Yamaguchi United team and are still holding on."

"The other troops followed Major General Nakamura, and there are more than [-] people left."

"The Eighth Route Army has already surrounded them. From the analysis of the battle situation, the enemy seems to be planning to defeat them one by one."

"Siege the Yamaguchi Regiment first, and then concentrate our forces to besiege the main force of the Nakamura brigade."

"Major General Nakamura also reminded us that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army used more than 100 mountain artillery, more than [-] mortars, and a large number of flying mine artillery in the battle. The firepower was very strong, which caused heavy casualties in the raid."

"Reinforcement troops must bring more heavy weapons to prevent them from being covered by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army."

"Reinforcements?" Neji Okamura laughed back angrily and cursed directly.

"He can turn beans into soldiers when he is the North China Front Army. If he wants reinforcements, will he have reinforcements?"

"They are all seconded by me from the Northeast, how embarrassing."

Scolding is scolding, the problem still needs to be solved.

Neiji Okamura regained his composure and asked the chief of staff, "When will the second batch of reinforcements promised by the Kwantung Army arrive?"

"Tomorrow night at the earliest..." The chief of staff thought about it and replied.

Okamura Ningji was angry again, he slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and scolded unceremoniously: "Rush to Baoding tomorrow night, and the morning after tomorrow at the earliest will be able to reach the battlefield."

"Do you think the Nakamura Brigade can last until the morning of the day after tomorrow?"

"A single raid killed them with heavy casualties. The Kwantung Army's 8000-strong force was reduced to less than 5000. It was also divided into two by the Eighth Route Army. The artillery unit almost lost its combat effectiveness."

"That's just one or two hours of battle damage."

"There are still two or three hours before dawn, do you think they can last until then?"

The chief of staff was silent for a long time before he dared to answer: "If the remaining 5000 people of the Zhongcun brigade gather together, they will definitely be able to withstand the attack of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army."

"Now they are divided into two, and the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong can gather the main force to defeat each of them. The chances of winning until dawn are really not high."

"Then think of other ways?" Okamura Ningji became more and more angry as he listened, staring at the chief of staff and continuing to ask.

"The North China Front Army has hundreds of thousands of troops. I don't believe that even a reinforcement army can't come out."

Chief of Staff He immediately turned his attention to the sand table, racking his brains to recall all the garrisons around Baoding.

5 minutes later nothing but disappointment.

He could only face Neiji Okamura's gaze and said: "Please calm down, Commander."

"In order to defend Baoding, we have mobilized all the troops that can be deployed from the surrounding area, and there are no troops available in the surrounding military towns."

"Only Beiping can send two brigades to reinforce it, but it's beyond our reach."

"When they are assembled, they will go south into Baoding by column, and then march to the battlefield on foot. It will take ten hours at the fastest."

"And there are too few reinforcements in the two brigades."

"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army has the guts to take out the Nakamura brigade, and it will definitely be able to take out the two brigades sent by the headquarters with ease."

"If you are not careful, the reinforcements of the two brigades will go and never return."

After the idea of ​​sending troops to reinforce Baoding was rejected, the chief of staff was at a loss, and asked Okamura Neiji with a frown: "Then what should we do?"

"It's impossible to just watch the Nakamura Brigade being wiped out by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army."

"This will definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of our army."

"A strong man breaks his wrist..." Neiji Okamura said something out of his head.

"The lion picks up the soft pinch... Everyone just said that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will definitely attack the Yamaguchi Regiment first, and then attack the main force of the Nakamura brigade."

"This is their only chance."

"When the Yizhong Eighth Route Army gathered the main force to besiege the Shankou Regiment, Mr. Nakamura gathered the main force of the brigade to break through the encirclement, and he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement."

"At the expense of the Yamaguchi United, keep the main force of the Nakamura brigade."

"As long as Major General Nakamura succeeds in breaking through the siege, he will quickly march towards Beiping. The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong will have no way to continue to encircle and wipe them out."

Neiji Okamura's idea sounds a little cruel, but he has to admit that this is the best way to reduce the losses of the Nakamura brigade.

As long as the Nakamura brigade successfully breaks through with two to 3000 people, their establishment will still be there, and they can replenish recruits at any time to rebuild the Nakamura brigade.

But if they don't break through, the entire Nakamura brigade will be wiped out, and the establishment will be cancelled.
