Chapter 1296 A big loss
Shanghai, the 13th Army Command.
Usa Mitsuru slept in the second-floor lounge for less than ten minutes before he was woken up.
When I sat up, I saw that it was Hinata Shiaki, and Hinata Shiaki's face was extremely embarrassing.
"Hinaga Shijun?" Usa Mitsuto asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Hai." Hinata Shijun suddenly paused and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Sakamoto's detachment suffered a great loss!"
"Nani?" Usa Mito, who was leaning over and wearing shoes, suddenly froze when he heard this. After a while, he asked again, "What's going on? Last evening, didn't Sakamoto's detachment seize several small hills in a row? Is the situation a big deal? Why did he suddenly suffer a big loss? Tell me, how much loss did Sakamoto's detachment suffer?"
Hinata took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The four hills including the Xituo Mountain captured by the day yesterday were all lost. The four infantry squadrons guarding the hills were broken. Even the troops rushing to reinforce were severely damaged. The 5th Squadron of the Independent Chariot that cooperated with the Fifth Division was basically destroyed!"
"Basically, I was crippled?" Usa Mitsuru said sternly.
"Yes." Hinata Shimiya lowered her head and said sadly, "Twelve Type 95 light tanks were destroyed eleven, and sixteen imitation Vickers armored vehicles lost twelve!"
"Baga!" Usa Mitsunobu said in a lost voice, "How is that possible?"
At this time, Usa Mito had already put on his shoes and immediately stood up and hurried towards the war room.
Hinata Shiaki took a few steps to follow Usa Mitsuto and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Sakamoto Detachment reported that the Chinese army used a mysterious weapon that can be used to assault with infantry, and it has extremely lethality! The machine gun fire point of the Imperial Army, as well as the tanks and chariots of the 5th Squadron of the Independent Chariot, were destroyed by this mysterious weapon!"
"Nani? There is such a weapon?" Usa Mitsunobu said, "Can you still accompany the infantry charge and grenade launcher?"
"It's not a grenade launcher! Although the Chinese army is equipped with grenade launcher, its lethality is extremely limited." Hinata Shimiya shook her head and said, "The mysterious weapon of the Chinese army is more lethal than the grenade launcher of the Imperial Army, because the biggest difference between the two is that this weapon can also be shot directly in a flat shot!"
"Can you aim straight?" Usa Mitsunobu said, "Is it a war defense cannon?"
"It's not a war defense artillery," Hinata said. "The war defense artillery is very bulky and cannot be accompanied by infantry charges at all, but the Chinese army's weapon can be accompanied by infantry charges, which is obviously a single weapon!"
"But the individual weapons that accompany the infantry charge are so lethal?" Usa Mitsuru's face collapsed and he ordered the adjutant who was accompanying him, "Immediately call Kawashima's agency and ask Miss Yoshiko to come over, and tell her that there is an emergency!"
"Hayi." The adjutant paused his head, turned around and walked into the communications office next door, and called Kawashima's agency.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the sand table. Usa Mitsuru looked closely and saw that the sand table had changed again. Several hills that were originally planted with the red flag representing the Japanese army were replaced with the small blue flag of the national army.
There are also war games representing the 5th Squadron of the Independence Chariot, which were also removed from the sand table.
Seeing this, Usa Mitsuru couldn't help but sigh and said, "I originally thought that the Sakamoto Detachment would live up to expectations and be the first to open the gap from the direction of Kowloon Lake, but now it seems that it can only be a luxury."
"Hai." Hinata Shimington said first, "Sakamoto's detachment suffered such a great loss. The artillery support firepower and chariot troops can be said to have been completely lost. The Chinese army is equipped with this mysterious weapon with great lethality. It is difficult to make a breakthrough from the direction of Kowloon Lake, or it is impossible."
...
Xuejia Village, the Fifth Regiment Headquarters of the Coastal Defense Corps.
Cao Guolin rushed into the war room and reported to Zhong Yi: "Shenzhen, Company Commander Yu and the others are back!"
"Is that true?" Zhong Yi's expression turned up and said, "Captain Yu is here quickly, hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome figure came straight in with smoke.
"Report." Yu Qi walked into the war room with a high apology, first stood at attention, and then saluted Zhong Yi, saying, "Yu Qi, acting company commander of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion, the 2nd Regiment of the Second Detachment of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to report and ask for instructions!"
By the way, the battle situation in Jiulong Mountain was very fierce, and grassroots officers suffered great casualties. Yu Qi had been promoted from platoon deputy platoon before the war to acting company commander.
Zhong Yi returned to the Israeli military salute: "Stop."
Yu Qi immediately turned his legs slightly when he heard this.
Zhong Yi continued to ask, "Has the mission been completed?"
Yu Qi replied proudly: "Report to the attendees, our company has successfully recaptured Jiulong Mountain and Pingfeng Mountain positions, and destroyed the Japanese artillery positions hidden in the southwest foot of Jiulong Mountain in one fell swoop. In the end, it severely damaged Japanese reinforcements, destroyed their tanks, more than 20 armored vehicles, and killed and injured at least fifty Japanese infantry!"
"Okay." Zhong Yi said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued to ask: "How is the casualties of the troops?"
When Yu Qi heard this, his expression immediately dimmed and said, "More than 200 casualties were injured, of which at least 80 were killed, and Ajiu was also killed."
"Ajiu was also killed?"
Zhong Yi looked gloomy when he heard this.
Qin Jiu and Yu Qi were the only survivors of the first battle in Jiulong Mountain, and they never thought they would die in battle.
After pausing, Zhong Yi asked again: "Company Commander Yu, Xiaoliu, has Xiaoliu been back?"
"Xiao Liu is fine." Yu Qi shook his head, "I saw him just now, and there was nothing wrong."
"It's fine." Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If Fang Xiaoliu had something at all, he would really not be able to explain to Aunt Fang. This was already her only son.
Yes, war is so cruel that it is not diverted by anyone's will.
Yesterday, Fang Xiaoliu's younger brother Xiaoqi died in a counterattack of the 3rd Company.
However, Xiao Qi died very bravely. When the Japanese were stabbed through the abdomen with a bayonet, he tore open the Japanese carotid artery with his teeth and died with the Japanese soldiers!
When Fang Xiaoqi's remains were transported back and when Aunt Fang rushed over to collect the body after hearing the news, Zhong Yi's grief could not be described in words. If possible, he really wanted to exchange his life for Xiaoqi back.
Therefore, Zhong Yi really doesn’t want Xiaoliu to have another accident, and there can’t be any more accidents!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Cao Guolin quickly changed the topic and said, "Sheng, the Japanese suffered such a big loss this time, and the direction of Jiulong Lake should be able to stabilize."
"That may not be." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Old Cao, don't forget that our opponent is the Fifth Division, which is the top main division of Japan! Such an opponent will run wild if he is forced into anger!"
Chapter completed!
