Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 52 Miyafuji Brigade!

Sakata Nobuzaki shook his head, it is of course not advisable to abandon Wanjia Town and Sanlipu.

These two places are the two gates on the north wings of Heyuan County, like a pair of pliers, guarding the Heyuan County below.

If you abandon the two places now, it is tantamount to losing the initiative.

Especially for Sakata Nobuzaki, he was beaten to abandon the important area and retreated to Heyuan County before he had fought much. Wouldn't it be despised and ridiculed by other imperial army colleagues when he said it?
"By the way, Mr. Duye. You just said that you got a call from the Imperial Army troops in Wanjia Town and Sanlipu?"

Sakata Nobuzaki suddenly asked Chief of Staff Taro Tono.

"Yes, Captain."

Duye Taro nodded solemnly, and said in a concentrated voice: "And the call for help was heard very clearly, which means that the phone line has not been damaged by the enemy.".

"This is 100% intentional by the enemy."

Sakata Shinzo frowned and said: "If you want to quietly eliminate the imperial garrison in Wanjia Town and Sanlipu, then you should cut off the telephone lines leading to Heyuan County in time.".

"The enemy army did not do this now. Instead, it asked the besieged troops to call the wing headquarters to request reinforcements. It means that the enemy commander, the possibility of reinforcements at the encirclement point is 100%."

Duye Taro said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, what should we do now?".

"Send reinforcements immediately?"

Sakata Nobuzaki nodded, and said helplessly: "The enemy army didn't cut off the telephone line, just to let us know the situation of the two places being attacked, and then send reinforcements.".

"It is estimated that the enemy army that attacked Wanjia Town and Sanlipu was the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army. The enemy commander Xu Rui must have deployed an ambush force on the way to reinforce the troops."

Before Duye Taro could speak, a devil staff officer hurried over from the communication room on the side of the command room of the regiment headquarters, and reported with a stern expression: "Report to the regiment leader, chief of staff, the Imperial Army Squadron at Sanlipu is calling again." Call for help, the enemy is besieging Sanlipu very urgently, and the defenders at Sanlipu have suffered heavy casualties, please request the United Army to send troops for reinforcements."

"Order them to fight to the death and wait for reinforcements, and the reinforcements will leave immediately."

When Nobuzaki Sakata heard the words, his complexion changed drastically, and he immediately waved his hands and shouted.

"Yes, Captain."

The devil's staff officer paused, then turned and returned to the communication room.

After waiting for the devil's staff to leave, Sakata Nobuzaki immediately gritted his teeth and said to a devil's staff next to him: "It's okay if you don't send troops for reinforcements. Immediately order the third infantry brigade of the regiment to dispatch and rush to Sanlipu for reinforcements.".

"Tell Kazuo Miyato, the captain of the Third Infantry Battalion, to pay attention to safety on the way of reinforcements. The enemy may ambush them on the way of reinforcements."

The devil's staff officer immediately said heavily: "Yes, regimental captain." He immediately walked aside and called to order the 3rd infantry brigade of the regiment to gather out of the city immediately and rush to Sanlipu for reinforcements.

At this time, Duye Taro, the chief of staff of the alliance, said in a concentrated voice, "Leader, what about Wanjia Town?"

"Wanjia Town is now sending troops to reinforce, but it will not help."

Nobuzaki Sakata shook his head and said, "The troops re-stationed in Wanjia Town have only one infantry squad, with a strength of more than [-] people.".

"Even if we send reinforcements at this time, by the time we arrive, the defenders of Wanjia Town will probably be lost. What's more, our current strength is only 400 people, including more than [-] people from the [-]rd Battalion of the Imperial Association Army. .”

After a pause, Sakata Nobuzaki continued: "The actual force capable of fighting is only more than 200 soldiers from the Imperial Army. Among them, there is also a squadron of the original Heyuan Gendarmerie, whose combat effectiveness is lower than that of the regiment, with more than [-] soldiers. Imperial Army garrison."

"Dividing troops for reinforcements will greatly weaken the strength of Heyuan County. Wait until Sanlipu is defended."

Seeing this, Duye Taro nodded and said: "The captain is thinking about it!".

"Just the captain!"

As he spoke, he thought for a while, Duye Taro said in a concentrated voice, "Maybe you made some bad preparations."

"What do you mean, Mr. Duye?"

Sakata Shinzo, who was looking at the map, heard Taro's words, and said in a puzzled voice for a moment.

"Once Sanlipu falls, the reinforcements will not be able to take back Sanlipu."

Duye Taro said with a serious expression: "At that time, Wanjia Town and Sanlipu are both lost, and it is night now.".

"It's extremely unfavorable for the imperial army. We must be prepared to fight Xu Rui's troops in Heyuan County."

Hearing this, Sakata Nobuzaki did not appear to be furious.

Of course he understands what Tono Taro said.

Xu Rui's troops have already eaten up his infantry brigade, plus two infantry squadrons.

The opponent is an elite force, and he is no longer something that Nobuzaki Sakata can underestimate.

But now, Xu Rui's department has already dispatched to attack, hitting his pliers, it must break his pliers.

In this way, the ultimate goal of Xu Rui's troops must be Heyuan County.

Tokino Taro's worries were not unreasonable, but Sakata Shinzorui felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

However, the possible situation is something that Sakata Nobuzuri has to consider.

"Then order the remaining regiments in the city, as well as the third battalion of the Imperial Association Army, to fully enter the state of defense."

Sakata Shinzo thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Especially for the power plant in the city, the location of the wing headquarters, as well as the high-rise commanding heights in the city, small factories and other important places, troops are stationed to build fortifications.".

"Get ready for all battles to defend the city!"

Seeing this, Duye Taro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Captain, I will deploy immediately."

Duye Taro said emphatically.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Duye!"

Sakata Shinzo patted Tokino Taro on the shoulder and said.

"It's all for the empire, for His Majesty the Locust!"

Duye Taro faced the direction of the country of Wa, and said earnestly.

'Act now!'

Sakata Nobuzuri also waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

Duye Taro nodded, and then immediately walked aside, continuously issuing various orders for the deployment of the defense.

Sakata Nobuzuri stared at the map, feeling unpredictable.

"Baga, Xu Rui, you're really good!"

Sakata Nobuzaki gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

And soon, more than 1000 devils from the 303rd Infantry Brigade of the Sakata Regiment had assembled out of the city, and they were immediately seen by the first unit of the [-]rd Reconnaissance Company of the Jinsui Army who were watching outside the city through binoculars.

Then, the first team of the 303 Reconnaissance Company immediately used the radio to send a report to Xu Rui.

A few minutes later, in Xu Rui's temporary field headquarters, about halfway between Wanjia Town and Sanlipu.

"Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep!"

As the radio sounded, the communications soldier who was sitting on the stool in front of the radio immediately put on earplugs and recorded the radio signal.

In less than 3 minutes, the messenger immediately reported to Xu Ruihui, "Reporting to the regiment, the first squad of the reconnaissance company urgently reported that there was a Japanese infantry brigade in the city of Heyuan County coming out of the city, heading towards Sanlipu."
