Chapter 526 Road Blockade!
For the Japanese army that went on this expedition, they naturally did not consider too much retreat in their ideas and plans.<Net According to their expectations, they would advance all the way to Wuhan and look for opportunities to fight the main force of the Central Army.
At this moment, the 16th Division suddenly chose to retreat, although many division generals felt it was unnecessary. But they also knew that they would not last long when a division was facing a siege in a fifth war zone.
The most important thing is that the place they are at this moment is not suitable for a decisive battle. In addition, the subsequent reinforcements will probably take some time to come. In this case, it is also a wise decision to choose an appropriate retreat.
However, some time ago, in order to prepare for a full-scale attack, the military headquarters continuously transferred a batch of supplies to the rear of the 16th Division. In marching and fighting, combat supplies were also very important. However, this batch of supplies has now become a big trouble.
Although the 16th Division has a baggage corps, it is unlikely to transfer so much materials at one time. The most important thing is that they have to choose mules, horses and cars to transport many materials.
If you use manpower transportation, although you don’t have to take too much into consideration the road issues, it is unlikely to transport the large amount of supplies sent from the rear by manpower alone. And the supplies corps of the 16th Division cannot be transported away by relying solely on the baggage corps of the 16th Division.
The cars assigned to the baggage corps are first used to transport artillery. This also means that artillery will occupy many divisions of cars. A large number of weapons, ammunition and materials also require large numbers of cars to transport.
In view of this situation, when receiving the transfer order, Fujie Keisuke asked the rear to send a transport vehicle to bring the 16th Division to transport the materials transported earlier to the rear again.
For safety reasons, these cars that came in empty cars transported a lot of infantry. Everyone knows that to ensure the safe evacuation of the 16th Division at this time, the Japanese army also needed to send reinforcements continuously.
Just when Minorhiko Higashimiya sent a car brigade to the location of the 16th Division to assist in the transfer of supplies, the reconnaissance brigade that came in advance had long blocked those important intercourse routes and cracked down on the Japanese's logistics lines.
Although at this time, it was unlikely that the Japanese devils would transport supplies from the rear to the front line. However, for the Japanese vehicles that appeared on the official road, the combat teams of the reconnaissance brigade would not let them pass easily.
Looking at the long convoy that appeared on the road ahead, the reconnaissance combat team lurking near the mountain road, he said in surprise: "This convoy is so large! I just don't know if there is anything on the car!"
The reconnaissance team leader responsible for the blocking operation said with a smile: "At this time, as long as the Japanese are not stupid, I believe they will not transport supplies to the front line anymore. I am afraid that the Japanese are transporting only them on these cars.
What we have to do later is to cut off the head and cut off the tail and destroy the road. With just a hundred people, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop the Japanese. What I have to do is to delay the marching of the Japanese convoy and create opportunities for the main force to siege.
From us to Fujin Mountain, the brigade commander arranged no less than ten combat teams on the nearly 100 kilometers of road. After a while, we will focus on raiding. Each combat team is not allowed to fight. As long as the Japanese car is destroyed, we will retreat!"
‘Two seconds delay, pull the string! Throw it!’
After the cold and decisive voice was issued, the reconnaissance warrior 6 continued to throw grenades one by one. Suddenly, the entire road was once again covered by the sound of explosions. The Japanese infantry on the road also seemed very aggrieved and helpless.
Fortunately, from the density of gunfire of the attack, it can be seen that there are not many troops ambushing them. Even the grassroots commanders of the Japanese army can quickly launch corresponding counterattacks on the spot to reduce casualties in their troops.
The squad leader who had been staring at the actions of the Japanese army, saw the Japanese infantry jumping down safely, and had steadily advanced and supported the infantry attacked. He also said calmly: "Blow the whistle and retreat!"
With the whistle 6 continued to sound, the reconnaissance team members who had attacked before quickly retreated in seclusion in the rear. The entire attack process lasted less than half an hour. The sound of gunfire explosions on the entire road officially ended.
When many infantry climbed up the hillside next to the road and planned to pursue the ambush troops that had attacked them, they could no longer see any figures. The quick-moving reconnaissance team had disappeared from their eyes.
Looking at the bombed vehicles and the infantrymen who were killed and killed, the Japanese Nakasa led the team also said angrily: "Baga! These damn sneak attack troops! They will use such shameless means!"
No matter how much he scolded, the Zhongzuo understood in his heart. The other party disdained him at all. The dozen cars that were destroyed and hundreds of infantry killed and injured were also made him seem a little confused.
I think these wounded people could not continue to take them on the road. But they could not stay here for a long time and needed to escort these convoys to the location of the 16th Division as soon as possible. They could not get there, and they realized that their supplies could not be transported out.
This dilemma caused the Japanese army's central apostle to order the troops to push all the destroyed cars to the roadside and reopen the road. As for the dead and injured troops, they could only stay here for the time being.
‘I’ll send the division commander to send troops to transport the bodies of these wounded and broken warriors back. Leave a team to guard the spot, and the rest of the personnel and vehicles continue to leave and meet with the 16th Division as soon as possible.’
When the telegram reached the 13th Division, Tokuramiya Minorhiko, who learned the news, also said with a serious expression: "Baga! Their ambush troops have actually lurked to a place only twenty kilometers away from us.
A cavalry brigade was drawn from the military headquarters and asked them to rush to the front line to meet with the car troops. At the same time, they reported to the 16th Division and asked them to send infantry to guard the way. Otherwise, our supplies would not be transported at all."
'Hi!'
It is very clear that the transportation of materials for a division is still very high on the road. Infantry can choose some difficult roads to march and retreat. However, these cars that transport materials must follow the official road.
At this time, in some places where the entire official road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are combat teams of reconnaissance brigades to defend and defend against fortifications. This also means that it is not easy for the 16th Division to withdraw.
Similarly, it is not easy for the reinforcements behind the Japanese to get over. In He Zhengdao's words, even if they cannot completely wipe out the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, they must chew a piece of meat. Let them know what a dilemma is! (To be continued.)8
