Bright Sword Rising from Picking Rewards

Chapter 117 Division Commander Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke

For Captain Sugata Masaharu, his saddest moment had just arrived. Just when he was gnashing his teeth and wishing to cut He Xiaoyang into pieces, there were bursts of buzzing aircraft engines. There was a sound above the head of his tank.

"Huh? Is our Imperial Air Force so fast this time? Are we here so quickly to support our operations?"

"But why are the colors and models of these aircraft a little different from the combat aircraft I usually see?"

"??????"

"Hiss! Oops! That's not our empire's plane, it's a group of enemy planes! Get out of here! All tanks and chariots get out of here!"

"The target these enemy planes want to bomb is us!"

When he heard the noisy sound of airplane engines above his head,
Captain Sugata Masaharu, Lieutenant Commander, couldn't help but look up at the sky.
At first, he was in a good mood and mistakenly thought that the aircraft group on his side was coming to support the operation.

But when he discovered that the aircraft group above his head was not their Japanese aircraft group at all, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and at the top of his lungs, he shouted for all the Japanese tanks and chariots to evacuate and hide.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom."

But before he could command his troops of tanks and chariots for emergency evacuation,
The sound of a series of explosions from aerial bombs immediately erupted in the Type [-] tank he was riding in, as well as the Type [-] tank group around him that was a little confused.

Amidst the bursts of explosions that shook the earth,
These Type [-] tanks also quickly caught fire.

In one fell swoop, three Type [-] tanks and combat vehicles were scrapped, and the Japanese tank soldiers inside were burned to death. Amidst the miserable howls, the tanks were burned to ashes.

In addition to the Japanese tanks and chariots that were bombarded by aerial bombs, the Japanese infantry troops whose faces changed dramatically were also frightened and fled in all directions.

Usually it is their flying units that bomb the national army. There will be situations like now where they are turned upside down and bombed by a group of enemy planes. Therefore, these Japanese officers and soldiers also fell into chaos and fled.

Especially their 2nd Infantry Brigade, which does not have air defense weapons and equipment, is here for air defense operations.

And this time He Xiaoyang dispatched more than 88 JU12 bombers, and under the escort of the Fw-190 fighter group, they carried out intensive bombing attacks.

So all of a sudden, these Japanese infantry units were blown up to the point where they were unable to fight back. Even if some Japanese soldiers used light and heavy machine guns for anti-aircraft shooting, they even fired into the air with their [-] rifles.
But the effect was very weak, and it did not pose much of a fatal threat to these incoming aircraft groups.

On the contrary, these aircraft groups carried out more violent and intensive fixed-point bombing, blowing up all the light and heavy machine gun positions that attacked them, as well as the Japanese officers and soldiers shooting with [-]-gauge rifles.

So very soon, the entire Japanese 2nd Battalion, before they even entered the city of Wutai County, was already on the outer positions and was heavily bombed by He Xiaoyang's troops in conjunction with the flying troops, causing heavy casualties.

Moreover, many Japanese officers and soldiers began to flee in defeat.

And in such a chaotic battle situation,
Riding in a Type [-] tank combat vehicle, the captain of the group, Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, was evacuating from hiding in a panic. He was very unlucky to be hit by two heavy aerial bombs.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom boom boom."

After two huge explosions sounded instantly,
The Type [-] tank tank in which the captain, Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, was riding was immediately bombarded into a blazing fireball, burning the captain, Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, and the Japanese tank soldiers in the Type [-] tank combat vehicle. Lost.

239th Infantry Regiment Headquarters,
The commander of the 239th Regiment, Yamada Takahito, soon received a telegram about the heavy casualties of the 2nd Infantry Battalion.

After reading the telegram, he looked very ugly.

"What kind of Chinese army did the 2nd Infantry Battalion encounter?"

"It is one of the most elite infantry brigades under my command. How come it was so quickly attacked and severely damaged by the Chinese army as soon as it arrived at the outskirts of Wutai County?"

"When did Wutai County have Chinese troops stationed there?"

"Why didn't our intelligence department notify us? Even the division commander didn't inform me?"

"Baga, Lu! What's going on here?"

"Does this mean that my infantry brigade will be the target of a sneak attack by the enemy?"

"Send me a telegram immediately and ask about the battle situation on the 2nd Infantry Brigade's side. What is it like?"

"Ask the captain, Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, to reply to my telegram immediately and ask him to come and report to me in person!"

After learning that his infantry brigade suffered heavy casualties,
Although Yamada Takahito, captain of the 239th Regiment, was in a bad mood, he calmly thought about it before giving instructions to the communications soldier in front of him.

"Hay!"

Communications soldier Ito Eisuke quickly agreed loudly.

And immediately turned around and left, following orders to send a telegram to Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, who had been killed in action.

Of course, he didn't know the news that the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Masaharu, had been killed in action.

And after communications soldier Eisuke Ito left,

The 239th Regiment Captain Yamada Takahito also immediately sent a telegram to the 41st Division headquarters to report.

Of course, he also sent a report and telegram to his immediate superior, the brigade commander, and reported together.

Soon, the No. 40 First Division headquarters,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Heisuke Abe, also soon received the bad news of the battle failure from the 239th Regiment Commander Yamada Takahito.

At this time, the division commander Mano Goro had not yet assumed the position of division commander of the 41st Division.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, would have to wait until he died in battle before he would take over the position of division commander.

But even so,
The command ability of the division commander, Lieutenant General Heisuke Abe, is still acceptable.

"Hey! There is actually a Chinese army in a mere Wutai County. Can it resist a large force of our imperial army?"

"I will immediately ask the intelligence department to find out which Chinese army is conducting a sneak attack on our imperial troops in Wutai County. I want to know the details of the other party!"

“Don’t the Chinese people always say that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle?”

"If that's the case, then I want to know all the details about this army and that army!"

After reading the telegram,

The division commander, Lieutenant General Heisuke Abe, gave instructions very calmly to his chief of staff, Kinoshita Takada.

"Hai! I'll go right away!"

Chief of Staff Kinoshita Takada nodded in agreement.

Then, the entire Japanese intelligence agency received a call from him, urging him to investigate the details of He Xiaoyang's troops.
