I am helping

"Division Commander, I just had a phone call with Lieutenant General Aoki. Lieutenant General Aoki said that those who fired at the 56th Division were most likely the rocket launcher unit of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

A moment later, after giving the order, Seio Nishihara reported to Takamori Takashi with a solemn expression.

"Nani?" Takamori Takashi said in shock, "The rocket launcher unit of the Eighth Route New Regiment?"

Takashi Takamori had heard of the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher unit, but didn't know much about it.

However, Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki, who has led the 11th Army to Shanxi for more than half a year, needs to know more about this weapon of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi!"

Seio Nishihara replied in a hurried tone, "The first time the Eighth Route Army used this weapon was when they attacked Datong where the 1st Division was stationed. The first time it was used, almost all of an elite brigade of the Locust Army was shattered!"

"The commander of the Locust Army Garrison in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, and the commander of the 3rd Chariot Division, Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku, were killed by this weapon!"

"Judging from the explosion just now, the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher unit has obviously strengthened again!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy's rocket launcher unit must be coming towards our headquarters!"

"We must move in immediately!"

When Seio Nishihara said this, Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi immediately remembered it.

The headquarters of the Army Garrison in Mongolia and the headquarters of the 3rd Tank Division were killed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

Think again of the Shimen City Locust Army headquarters being covered by artillery fire...

"Bagaya Road, turn to Baoding immediately!" Before he could think too much, Takamori Takashi tightened his grip, took the lieutenant general's sword on the table and walked out quickly.

Several fast horses arranged by Seihara Seihara were waiting outside, and Takamori Takashi got on the horse.

More than a hundred elite guards emerged from various hiding places and followed closely behind.

"Turn in now!"

After giving the order, Seio Nishihara quickly walked out of the headquarters, got on his horse and chased after Takamori Takashi.

At the same time, the Japanese headquarters of the 40th Division also immediately retreated.

The Japanese who were fighting the Eighth Route Army retreated one after another after leaving some of them behind.

Takashi Takamori and Seihara Seihara had just withdrawn from that area with their headquarters.

After a while.

A large hail of rockets struck, completely covering the command post where Takamori Takashi and Seio Nishihara were previously in a sea of ​​smoke and fire.

Although the Katyusha rocket launcher has powerful firepower.

However, the reloading time is long and it takes 10 minutes to reload and launch.

The second wave of rocket rain, under the guidance of Duan Peng, shelled the 11th Division headquarters.

Of course, Duan Peng didn't know the specific location of the 11th Division, he only knew that there must be Japs in that area.

But it wasn't a big problem. More than 1 rockets directly covered that area with artillery fire.

"Bagaya road!"

Seeing that the previous headquarters was covered by artillery fire, Takashi Takamori cursed angrily.

The entire plan to attack and eliminate the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei was disrupted by the sudden heavy artillery fire.

Facing the heavy artillery fire in front of him, Takamori Taka couldn't help but feel a hint of fear in his pupils.

How to fight this battle?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, fortunately we moved in quickly, otherwise we would have been blown to pieces by now."

The face of the chief of staff, Colonel Masao Nishihara, was full of fear.

Faced with this kind of all-round artillery fire coverage, even Amaterasu would have to kneel down when he came.

"Nishihara-kun, have you made arrangements for your transfer?"

Takamori asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the division commander, everything has been arranged!" Nishihara Seio replied.

Being able to become the chief of staff of the 11th Division, Seihara Nishihara is naturally no longer a loser.

Although Seiyo Nishihara's military rank is only Colonel, his military ability is stronger than that of the average Japanese major general.

Takashi Takamori breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It was good that the troops had withdrawn. Now all he had to do was withdraw the large troops and then transfer to Baoding.

The Jizhong Eighth Route Army would never dare to pursue them.

After a pause, Nishihara Masao said again:

"However, the 56th Division Headquarters is still unable to be contacted. I have asked the division headquarters' communications team to bypass the 56th Division and issue transfer orders to all regiments and groups of the 56th Division!"

Seeing that Seio Nishihara had made arrangements, Takamori Takashi nodded, and then asked with a gloomy expression: "Where did this Eighth Route Army Rocket Force unit come from?"

At this moment, the communications staff officer of the 11th Division walked over quickly and bowed his head to Takamori Takashi to report: "Report to the division commander!"

"Just now, Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio, commander of the 56th Infantry Regiment, reported that the enemy's artillery unit is due east, only a few kilometers away from the Infantry Regiment!"

Due to the tight fighting situation, the 11th Infantry Regiment and the 40th Infantry Regiment were both sent to the battlefield to attack the Jizhong Eighth Route Army positions.

The 56th Regiment of Heavy Troops was also sent to a brigade on the battlefield.

Only two brigades of the 56th Baggage Regiment were left guarding the forest, so when the members of the Sharp Sword Squadron were conducting reconnaissance, there were obviously cars and mules from three baggage regiments, but only a thousand The remaining people.

All the devils in the woods could clearly see the dense trajectory of rockets streaking through the air.

The communications staff officer continued: "Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio requested to lead troops to attack the enemy's artillery positions!"

Since the 56th Division headquarters was destroyed, Nagasaki Yoshio could not contact the 56th Division headquarters, so he directly contacted the 11th Division headquarters.

"Immediately order Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio to lead the troops to attack!"

"Destroy the enemy's artillery positions!"

Takamori Taka heard this and gave the order without hesitation.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the baggage of the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division are all in the woods. If they are lost..."

Nishihara Seiyo advised with a worried tone.

"It doesn't matter if the baggage is lost!" Takamori Takashi said, "In Baoding and Peiping, there are plenty of supplies, but as long as we can destroy the Eighth Route Army's rocket launchers, or even capture the enemy's rocket launchers, it will be a great achievement."

Now that Takamori Takashi said so, Seio Nishihara stopped trying to persuade him. He had already done what a chief of staff should do.

"Hi."

The communications staff member suddenly lowered his head, turned around and walked quickly towards the radio station.

……

In the woods 3 kilometers away from the Jinju battlefield.

Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio, who received Takamori Takashi's order, suddenly looked fanatical.

第40师团和第56师团的辎重兵联队兵力有大约3千人，而第11师团的辎重联队兵力达到5千人。

Nagasaki Yoshio also envied the captains of the 40th Baggage Regiment and the 11th Baggage Regiment for being able to lead their troops to fight on the battlefield.

He also wanted to make contributions to the empire and His Majesty Tian Locust.

And now.

A great opportunity is right in front of you.

Eighth Route Artillery Position.

Right under your nose.

And it's a heavy artillery position.

As long as he leads his troops to attack, Potian's military exploits will be at his fingertips!

The three baggage regiments were well hidden in the woods and were never discovered by the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance planes.

Otherwise, they would have been killed by Eighth Route Army planes.

Or maybe the heavy artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army was just now coming towards them.

Various circumstances indicate that Balu does not know.

An elite Locust Army unit was hidden not far from the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery position.

Although the Japanese army's baggage troops are logistics troops, they are mainly responsible for tasks such as transporting materials, supplies, repairing and maintaining transportation, personnel transfer, and rescue.

The equipment of the baggage troops is inferior to that of the infantry regiments.

But whether it is tactical training or shooting training, the Japanese army's heavy equipment and Japanese infantry are the same.

In the Battle of Pingxingguan that year, the Eighth Route Army's 115th Division used all its strength to ambush the Japanese 5th Division's baggage regiment with regular field troops. In the end, it was a tragic victory.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's baggage troops cannot be underestimated.

At present, Nagasaki Yoshio still has two large baggage brigades with a total strength of about 2 people, more than 1700 cars, and more than 500 mules and horses.

"Send the order, the 3nd Squadron of the 2rd Baggage Brigade will stay behind to protect the baggage!"

"The 2nd Baggage Brigade, the 3st and 1rd Squadrons of the 3rd Brigade, follow me to attack the enemy's heavy artillery position!"

Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio issued the combat order with murderous intent.

As his orders were given.

In the woods, empty Type 94 trucks were driven out of hiding places.

On the 1994 truck, the Japanese even used some tree branches to spread on the truck to hide themselves.

"Haaagu!"

"Haaagu!"

"..."

Under the orders of the Japanese squadron leaders and squad leaders.

The Japanese armed with 38 rifles and crooked light machine guns, with grass rings on their heads, boarded the car one after another.

The movements are skillful and orderly, and the fighting spirit is full of enthusiasm.

Those who didn't know, thought they were the main elite of the Japs.

However, the Japs moved very quickly.

In just two minutes, 1500 Japanese soldiers were assembled and all boarded the train.

Nagasaki Yoshio also boarded a truck near the front, whipped out his command saber, and ordered with murderous intent: "Open the way!"

The motors of the 60 trucks rang out, and more than trucks were loaded with Japanese troops.

They filed out of the woods and pounced along the road towards a new group of Katyusha rocket launchers.

……

"Captain, look, the Japanese transport troops are coming out!"

Special operations team member Wang Yousheng exclaimed and immediately reported to Duan Peng and Wang Xikui. Hearing this, Duan Peng and Wang Xikui quickly raised their telescopes to take a look.

Sure enough, I saw Japanese 94 trucks driving out from the entrance road to the woods. The trucks were loaded with Japanese troops carrying live ammunition. Two crooked machine guns were mounted on the roof of the driving shed of the first truck.

"The Japanese want to take away our Katyusha artillery position!"

As soon as Wang Xikui saw the direction in which the Japanese convoy was heading, he instantly understood the Japanese's intention.

"Now there's something good to watch!"

"This bunch of devils are here to show off their military exploits."

A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Gensheng, the captain of the 1st Squadron:

"Our new regiment's heavy tank battalion and more than 200 heavy tanks from each heavy-armed combined battalion are coming from the Katyusha rocket launcher position."

"Dozens of Japanese trucks are coming right up to meet us."

"Tsk tsk...the next scene is so beautiful."

Duan Peng also smiled slightly: "However, this saves us from using our main force. There is at most one squadron of Japs left in the woods."

He was just discussing with Wang Xikui how to seize the Japanese combat supplies.

Calling in air support to bomb and direct Katyusha rocket bombardment will definitely not work.

A round of aerial bombs and a round of rockets washed the ground, and the combat supplies were directly destroyed.

Although this batch of combat supplies is useless to the New Regiment.

But the combat supplies of the three divisions are not a small amount.

Even if the new regiment cannot use it, it can be used by other brother units of the Eighth Route Army.

For example, the brothers of the Jizhong Eighth Route Army had just fought a fierce battle with the Japanese.

If we can get supplies of this batch of combat materials.

Combat effectiveness can be improved quickly.

"Let's not watch the show."

"Give me the order."

"Ready to fight!"

Duan Peng looked solemn and gave the order.

At this time, the tank troops were about to arrive, and there was no need to guide the Katyusha rocket troops to fire.

After the Japanese army left the woods, Duan Peng prepared to lead the sword squadron to kill the remaining Japanese soldiers.

"Yes!"

Wang Xikui turned around and went to deliver the order.

"Chengfeng, immediately call Sun Desheng, commander of the heavy tank battalion, and inform him that a group of Japanese soldiers is heading towards them!"

"There are about 60 Japanese cars!"

Immediately, Duan Peng issued another order to Ma Chengfeng, the correspondent of the Sharp Sword Brigade.

"Yes, Captain!"

Ma Chengfeng immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called Sun Desheng.

……

"go ahead!"

On the Japanese convoy, on the Type 94 truck, Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio waved the command sword in his hand and roared loudly.

He looked proud.

It seemed that what was under his feet was not a Type 94 truck, but a Type 97 medium tank.

Nagasaki Yoshio and Yamazaki Yehei look a bit similar, especially their body shapes are quite different.

Both men were short, bow-legged, stocky, with necks as thick as their heads, and looked like a large shotgun bullet at first glance.

of course.

Nagasaki Yoshio is the same as Yamazaki Yehei. They are both samurai who are ready to sacrifice themselves for His Majesty Tian Locust.

By this time, the entire convoy had left the woods.

Every two trucks drove side by side along the road toward the Eighth Route Army's Katyusha rocket launcher position.

Nagasaki Yoshio turned around and looked at the majestic motorcade behind him.

The expression on his face swayed slightly when he thought that Po Tian's military exploits would belong to him.

Looking back, Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki raised his telescope and looked forward.

Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki's expression suddenly changed.

I saw more than a dozen tanks appearing in the field of vision of the telescope, driving side by side in the direction of his convoy.

"Nani?"

Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki exclaimed in disbelief.

He thought he had seen it wrong, so he raised the telescope again and looked forward, only to see more tanks appearing in the field of view of the telescope.

Densely packed, there are hundreds of them!

Behind the tanks were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army all over the mountains and plains.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army has arrived!

"Baga is the enemy!"

"retreat!"

"Retreat immediately!"

Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki's pupils shrank suddenly, and at this moment his scalp felt numb, and he was so scared that he lost his mind.

After all, what is underfoot is not a Type 97 tank, but a Type 94 truck.

Even the Type 97 tank is no match for the Eighth Route Army tank unit.

Yoshio Nagasaki's entire face was twisted together because of fear.

But it's too late.

On the turret of the Eighth Route Army tank opposite, a long barrel mouth protruded, and bursts of fireworks were already blooming.

Accompanied by a muffled sound of tom tom.

A series of tank shells flashed orange-red trajectories in the air, hitting the two oncoming Japanese trucks!

Boom boom!

The first two Japanese vehicles were instantly hit by tank shells. Amidst the loud noise and rising fire and smoke, car fragments and the broken Japanese limbs fell from the sky.

The two Japanese trucks at the front were hit, and the Japanese convoy was instantly in chaos.

In order to achieve the effect of launching a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army infantry, Nagasaki Yoshio ordered the Japanese convoy to drive two vehicles side by side.

The Japanese convoy was suddenly attacked. The Japanese truck was on the road and could not complete the U-turn in a short time.

"Boom boom…"

The new group of tanks moved forward, and the tank guns continued to fire.

With a loud explosion, one after another Japanese trucks were named and shot up.

The speed of the Japanese truck is higher than the speed of the tank.

However, compared to trucks, tanks have better passability.

Even on plain terrain, trucks rely on roads for maneuverability.

Tanks can maneuver along roads and can go to many places during wartime.

After receiving the news from the Sharp Sword Squadron, Sun Desheng immediately issued an order to send the Xiafei tank to the front of the team to prepare for an encounter with the Japanese convoy.

As soon as the battle began, the Japanese were at an absolute disadvantage.

To put it more accurately, the Japanese had no power to fight back.

"Baga, abandon the car!"

Seeing that it was impossible for the convoy to turn around, Lieutenant Colonel Nagasaki Yoshio howled miserably and gave the order.

In fact, without Nagasaki Yoshio's orders, the Japanese had already jumped out of the truck, turned around and ran away.

Dozens of Joffre tanks approached quickly and continued to fire.

Every time a tank shell exploded, the Japanese fell to the ground amidst screams.

"Da da da…"

The sound of intensive M2 heavy machine gunfire rang out, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the Japanese fell down as if they had been cut grass.

The Japanese who had just jumped out of the car ran wildly in the direction they were coming, forming a very dense formation.

Under the double fire of tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns from dozens of Xiafei tanks, the Japanese suddenly suffered heavy casualties and wailed.

"help me……"

"Mother……"

A Japanese soldier whose legs were injured and fell to the ground looked at the Japanese soldiers escaping in the distance and kept wailing, hoping that some Japanese soldiers would come back to save him.

However, the Japs who could still move were all running away, and no Japs looked back at this Japs at all.

A tank driver from the New Regiment saw the Japanese who was not yet dead and drove over in a Joffre tank without hesitation.

In a burst of sharp and piercing howls.

The tank's right track ran over the Japanese's body from feet to head.

As the tank tracks rolled over, the Japanese turned into a long puddle of flesh.

"idiot!"

While running, Nagasaki Yoshio turned around and saw this scene, his eyes were splitting, and he cursed angrily:

"Didn't you say that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still in Shimen City and Zhengding?"

"What exactly is going on?"

After Sun Liangcheng sent a telecom scam to the 11th Division Regiment Headquarters, Nishihara Seifu informed all regiments and brigades that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was still attacking Shimen City and Zhengding.

Where did these hundreds of Eighth Route Army tanks come from?

"Report the situation here to Lieutenant General Takamori immediately!"

Nagasaki Yoshio said in a panic to the telegraph soldier who was running away not far away carrying the radio on his back.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army is still attacking Shimen City and Zhengding?

The main force of the Eighth Route Army is 50 kilometers away from here?

Everyone is under your nose!

"Hi."

The telegraph soldier turned on the radio, ran with the receiver and microphone in hand, and called to the 11th Division Regiment Headquarters.
