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

Chapter 99 Seize the sky!

"It's okay, I'm okay!"

Miyamoto Taro staggered, and after being supported by Ikeda Kenjiro, he directly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his hands, and then immediately asked with a gloomy expression to Major Inaba Jiro, the communication staff officer of the brigade and regiment department who reported the emergency situation: "Can you now?" Can't you directly contact Ishida Onju, who is defending the Huting stronghold, by phone?"

"I don't know at the moment, Your Excellency the General."

After receiving the urgent report from the communication soldiers under his command, Jiro Inaba came out of the communication room immediately and reported directly to Taro Miyamoto who happened to be in the command room of the brigade headquarters. He did not expect this level.

"Call immediately. I remember that there is a telephone line between the Huting stronghold and Jinghai County! You can directly contact the brigade department without using the radio."

Miyamoto Taro waved his hands solemnly, and said to Inaba Jiro.

"Understood, Your Excellency the General."

Inaba Jiro nodded, then hurriedly walked to the side table, and then directly picked up a phone on the table and shook it directly.

It's just that the phone over there is not connected.

Half a minute later, Jiro Inaba, seeing that he couldn't get through, hung up the phone and immediately turned back to Miyamoto Taro and Ikeda Kenjiro, and said heavily: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the phone cannot be connected."

"Your Majesty."

The Chief of Staff of the Fourth Brigade, Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro, had a serious expression, and immediately guessed: "The telephone line leading to the south from the Huting stronghold must have been cut off by the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army who attacked the Huting stronghold.".

"Otherwise, Ishida Onshu would not use the radio to report the war situation to the brigade headquarters."

Miyamoto Taro was also aware of this possibility at this time, nodded immediately, and said with a frown: "Ikeda-kun said so.".

After speaking, Miyamoto Taro stood up, walked directly to the main seat where the map was placed in the command room of the brigade headquarters, and then stared at the map with his eyes fixed.

"What time is it right now?"

Miyamoto Taro asked Ikeda Kenjiro.

"Your Excellency, it's already [-]:[-] in the morning. Onshu Ishida's call said that the battle at Huting stronghold broke out at exactly [-]:[-] midnight!"

Ikeda Kenjiro looked at the wall clock on the left wall, and immediately said in a condensed voice.

"That is, after 13 minutes of fighting, the outer positions of the Huting stronghold stationed by Ishida Onshu almost fell. Now, the enemy actually has a secret weapon for throwing explosives. Ishida Onshu said that he might not be able to defend the Huting stronghold. , Request tactical guidance from the Brigade and Regiment Department."

Miyamoto Taro frowned and asked Kenjiro Ikeda what to do, "Ikeda-kun, what's your suggestion?"

"If according to Ishida Onju's urgent telegram report, it is very possible that the Huting stronghold cannot be defended. Ishida Onshu is the first infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the Shigeto United Squad, and he is the imperial army officer who is best at defense in the hands of Shigeto Masaru .”

Ikeda Kenjiro did not underestimate the enemy either, but after thinking for a while, he said in a concentrated voice: "It is far better than urgent telegrams to call Ishida Onju, an imperial army officer who is good at defense, to ask the brigade headquarters for tactical guidance and explain the situation at Huting stronghold. The report here is going to be heavy."

"Your Excellency, according to the urgent message, there are at least 900 enemy troops besieging the Huting stronghold, and the light and heavy machine guns and artillery fire are very powerful, crushing the heavy weapons in Ishida Onshu's hands."

After a pause, Ikeda Kenjiro immediately continued, "Your Excellency, I am afraid I must order Ishida Onsu to prepare for the fall of the Huting stronghold."

Hearing this, Miyamoto Taro understood what Ikeda Kenjiro's unspoken suggestion was.

In fact, that is, the Huting stronghold may be lost, so order Ishida Wenshu to be ready to retreat south at any time.

"About eight kilometers to the south of the Huting stronghold is the only bridge that connects the north and south banks of the Xiushui River, the Xiushui River Bridge."

Pointing at the map, Taro Miyamoto said to Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro in a concentrated voice: "If the Tiger Pavilion stronghold falls too quickly, this bridge is extremely vulnerable to a fierce southward attack by the enemy.".

"Ikeda-san, are there troops from the imperial army stationed on the bridge?"

Ikeda Kenjiro replied without hesitation: "Yes, a squadron of troops is stationed on this bridge.".

"This is a bridge built of cement, connecting the north and south of the Xiushui River. Once something happens here, the northern gate of Jinghai County will really be directly captured by the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army. For our brigade, that It's a consequence that can't happen."

Miyamoto Taro immediately said to the communication staff officer, Major Inaba Jiro, in a condensed voice: "Ishida Wenshu will be ordered by electricity, and the Tiger Pavilion stronghold will be guarded.".

"If he really can't hold it, he is allowed to lead his troops southward and build fortifications on the north bank of the Xiushui River."

Inaba Jiro said heavily: "Yes, Your Excellency General." He was about to turn around and return to the communication room when he was immediately stopped by Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro of the Fourth Brigade.

Then, Kenjiro Ikeda pointed to a location on the map, and said to Miyamoto Taro in a concentrated voice: "Your Excellency, General, you can tell Ishida Wenshu to immediately dispatch some troops from the stronghold to go south quickly to seize this important location.".

"One line of sky?"

Seeing a spot on the map pointed by Ikeda Kenjiro, Taro Miyamoto saw it immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This is the passage between the mountain walls!".

"That's right, Your Excellency the General."

Pointing to a place in the middle between the Huting stronghold and the Xiushui River, Ikeda Kenjiro said in a condensed voice: "A line of sky is the gap between the mountain walls. Looking at the sky, you can see the blue sky above your head like a line, so It got the name One Line of Sky."

"The first line of sky is between the mountain walls, narrow and long. As long as the mountain pass on the north side of the first line of sky is blocked, one man will be the gate. Even if you can't defend the Huting stronghold, the troops in Ishida Wenshu's hands will be able to take over. There are only dozens of people left, and they can also retreat here to block the mountain pass on the north side of Yixiantian, blocking the possibility of the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army directly capturing Yixiantian, and the possibility of a large force reaching the north bank of the Xiushui River."

Hearing this, Taro Miyamoto, who was staring at the map, really had his eyes lit up, but he ignored the danger of this thin line of sky.

"Add here!"

Immediately, Taro Miyamoto said to Jiro Inaba, the communication staff officer: "Order Ishida Onju, immediately dispatch at least one small team of troops, take the first step, and let me control the first line of the sky.".

"Let him defend the stronghold of Huting. If he can hold it, he will defend it. If he can't hold it, he will immediately command his troops to retreat south immediately, withdraw to the first line of sky and continue to block the night attack of the 303rd regiment of the Jinsui Army!"

Inaba Jiro paused heavily and said: "Yes, Your Excellency General." Immediately, he walked briskly back to the communication room, ordering the devil's communication soldiers under his command to call back the order to Major Ishida Onju, the First Infantry Battalion Commander of the Shigeto Regiment.

Miyamoto Taro, on the other hand, continued to stare at the map with serious eyes all the time.

The old devil did not expect that at twelve o'clock this night, Commander Xu Rui would suddenly attack Yixiantian.

Could it be that it was to take down the Huting stronghold and build a southern barrier for Heyuan County to the south?

"Your Excellency, should we shift the Second Infantry Battalion of the Rattan Regiment to go north and advance to the north and south banks of the Xiushui River Bridge?"

At this time, seeing Miyamoto Taro pondering, the Chief of Staff Ikeda Kenjiro thought for a while, and still made a suggestion.

"Ikeda-kun thinks that Yixiantian may also fall."

Miyamoto Taro knew what Ikeda Kenjiro meant, and immediately said in a concentrated voice.
