Chapter 126: City Break and Upgrade

At 5 a.m. on the 12th, the 104th Infantry Brigade of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army launched an attack on time in the east of Binzhou. The 5th, 6th and 11th Regiments of the Pioneer Army waiting in Caizhai also launched a head-on attack according to the prior arrangement. The 21st Brigade, which was supported by the 5th Division of the Eastern Front, also launched an attack, and was directly blocked by the 3rd, 4, 8, 9, and 10th regiments of the Pioneer Army, the 3rd, 4, 8, 9, and 10th regiments.

At the same time, the 10th Division, which was huddled along the Yellow River, suddenly launched a crazy attack. At this time, only the 7th, 12th and the 1st regiment that were secretly mobilized back were defended by Jinan. The 2nd regiment with more ordinary people retreated to the area of ​​Zhangqiuzhou Village to maintain public order, and the security group with severely shortages came to guard the area near the main base.

"There is no way for new recruits to go into battle!" Meng Xiang sighed. Because the situation was urgent, many new recruits who had not passed the training and veterans who had just recovered were also sent to the battlefield, mainly arranged on the eastern and northern sides. Although the 12th Regiment on the western front was newly formed, most of them were a combination of cloned soldiers and restored veterans. Street battles require more experience.

The 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division, which had secretly crossed the river, launched a fierce attack towards Jinan under the cover of more than 30 Type 95 tanks. The assists were all the remaining members of the 8th Brigade of Nagase. Even the 10th Cavalry Regiment was sent to this narrow space by Ryosuke Isotani, and he had already made a desperate bet.

"The 108th Division attacked fiercely, not like a feint!" Not long after the battle began, Hu Minghe loudly reported to Meng Xiang and others who had been paying attention to the command center.

"Xiang Mi in Xiayuan is really playing, and there are also fighting within the Japanese pirates." Tang Pharmacist said with a smile.

"The half-city plan must be implemented as soon as possible on the Western Front! Otherwise, the 108th Division in the north may transform from a feint attack into a fierce attack at any time, and the hasty arrangements of the three regiments there may not be able to block it!" Fan Zhong said. The Japanese had a strange temper. Although the order received by the 108th Division was a feint attack, the water here was a little more abundant. After the two elite divisions of the 10th Division and the 5th Division were frustrated, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, who was in the second-rate team, was moved and intended to get more honors from the vanguard army. He was in a fierce attack from the beginning.

After various channels, I learned that the Japanese were roughly mobilizing and deploying the vanguard army, but I didn’t expect that the 108th Division would play the real thing from the beginning. Although it was arranged and guarded, the hurried arrangement played a limited role. Even if I had the heart to be wary, the losses were huge after the 108th Division took medicine.

The 21st Brigade of the 5th Division was also slapped. For the sake of honor, the 21st Brigade also launched a fierce attack.

"Don't worry about such intensive attacks that day. Such ammunition-consuming attacks are only a test at most. It is absolutely impossible to do this again and again. Even the empire cannot afford such consumption!" Major General Miura Toshishi, the commander of the 21st Brigade, looked up at Asahi in the horizon at 45 degrees and said confidently.

"It's trouble! It's really troublesome!" Huang Huamin also regretted it. The two large amount of ammunition consumption made the inventory disappear, and only half of the ammunition added in the past two days was restored. Although the base can be restored quickly, it is not just the Eastern Front that needs ammunition.

The machine guns were still roaring, but only half were roaring. The shells of the 80 mortar suitable for street combat were given priority to supply the Western Front, and even the 75 mortar shells were given priority to the western Front. Although the ammunition on the Eastern Front was large, not many were fired. The only unaffected were 8 105mm grenades, 5 150mm cannons, 3 203mm howitzers, and many other large-caliber artillery. With the advantage of caliber, they directly bombarded the positions behind the 21st Brigade and fought with the 5th Regiment of the field artillery supported by the 5th Division.

The three mountains around the sunset slope were all within the attack range of the 21st Brigade. Under the premise that artillery opened the way to clear mines, two safety passages were opened on the hills on both sides. Without the threat of landmines, the Japanese frequently threatened the mountains on both sides.

"Report, the First Guerrilla Brigade discovered the chariot and cavalry units of the Fifth Division in Shouguang!"

"I understand!" Although Huang Huamin's expression was very calm, he was in a mess. The 1st Regiment in that area was originally defended, but now he was taken over by the 3rd Regiment. However, he had just transferred one battalion to replenish the forces of another passage. The 10th Regiment there was a very difficult regiment facing the crazy attack of the Guoqi Detachment. However, he did not expect that the 5th Division was also in a crazy way, and this time he also transferred all his troops.

The intensive attacks that day made Huang Huamin very proud and almost took the 5th Division seriously. But at this time, he realized that several of his novice regiments were a little worse than the 5th Division. There was not just a competition of equipment on the battlefield. Although he took advantage of the advantage of the defensive advantage of the geographical advantage, if he could not figure out the specific attack of the enemy, problems might occur if he was not careful.

It is not impossible to keep it, but the only thing that is to rely on is dense firepower, while the ammunition is in short supply.

"Support for two days at most, maybe two days are not enough!" Huang Huamin said worriedly.

He didn't know that Meng Xiang had no inventory at all. He was directly pulled to the front line after the base was produced. The production speed of the base could also supplement the general combat consumption. Therefore, as long as he could last for two days, the ammunition would be replenished soon.

"I had to report it truthfully! Who would have thought that the 5th Division was so crazy too!" Huang Huamin shook his head and said.

"I didn't expect that the Japanese were so crazy. In the end, they still attacked them everywhere!" Meng Xiang sighed, but there was no panic on his face. They had already expected this situation beforehand.

"After all, we are still short of people! The time is too short!" Fan Zong sighed.

"Let the opening on the west side open. Give the credit to the 10th Division, which was taught a lesson by us. When they see us in the future, they will remember the gifts we gave them!" Meng Xiang smiled again. "As for the Shouguang area on the eastern front, the chariot regiment should be dispatched."

"Oh, give it to me!" Numata Takyazo shouted loudly. He was full of grievances now. Why did he encounter the strongest chariot troops of the vanguard army counterattack when he was attacking, and the opposite side of the 63rd Regiment of the 33rd Brigade were infantrymen who were defending while retreating?

Nagano Yoshiguchi, who is still lying, feels even more aggrieved. Why do he have to fall down every meter of his attack whenever he advances, but the 10th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade attacks the city of Jinan with unstoppable momentum?

Nagase's last expectation was also emptied. The 33rd Brigade successfully reached the city of Jinan. Compared with his heavy losses, his incompetence was even more obvious.

While listening to the detailed report of the adjutant of the staff next to him, he pulled out the samurai sword and pulled it apart the kimono. Xueliang's ancestral samurai sword, his grandfather used this jade to break it, and today he is going to sacrifice himself to the Emperor.

The tip of the samurai sword stabbed into the exposed lower abdomen, and the sharp tip of the knife immediately cut a small mouth, and blood flowed out in an instant.

After a sudden pain, Takehei Nagase suddenly thought of something. The knife in his hand paused, and looked up at the adjutant who was the wrong person next to him.

The adjutant nodded respectfully and said, "Please muster up the courage!"

Takehei Nagase was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, "Please tell General Isotani, I..." He suddenly thought of Major General Taki Eijiro's face that he usually doesn't like, and he paused for a moment. Then he raised his lips and smiled, "I'm going!" As he said that, he suddenly exerted force. The sharp blade cut across the abdomen from left to right.

He endured the severe pain and thought of the words he had not finished saying, and couldn't help but grin, and then cut from bottom to top, and then cut it straight into a cross shape, reaching the heart.

His knees that he tried to close together were already a little soft, and his tilted body was carried by the adjutant for a while. His body, which had no intuition, finally fell forward.

"The Pioneer Army is completely different from the front and back of the defense. Be careful of the Pioneer Army's fraud!" He did not say this in the end.

Ryosuke Isotani was also considering this issue. Although the Japanese army had successfully arrived at the city of Jinan, he still remembered the first two defenses and attacks of the vanguard army.

"Is there a fraud?" He paced back and forth in the room. Finally, he shook his head slightly.

Although the losses were heavy, Nagase had already taken it down, and the Tajiki brigade attacked the city of Jinan again. It was not difficult to break the city according to the situation. This time he successfully escaped the disaster.

"The city is broken!" The Japanese soldiers outside cheered together.

"That's great!" Meng Xiang also jumped up, "Finally upgraded!"
Chapter completed!
