Chapter 304 Ambush Tamura Hikaru 1
The next day, after breakfast, Xue He and Wang Ming walked out of the command center again.
Xue He said: "Old Wang, by the afternoon at the latest, Jin County should be able to fight, and we can also make some efforts here."
"Yes, the feint attacks over the past two days have made the battle very restrictive and not fun at all." Wang Ming took the opportunity to complain, causing Xue He to laugh.
In the morning, the Nanshan Army continued to attack the Dingcao dwarf locust army with half an hour of artillery bombardment and half an hour of machine gun fire, using rotation methods.
The dwarf locust soldiers on the city walls were beaten terribly by the Nanshan Army. What shocked them the most was that the city walls on all four sides were actually cracking due to the continuous bombardment.
This made Abe Twelve panic, and he ordered: "Pay close attention to the cracked area of the city wall."
"Once the city wall collapses, we must immediately block the gap and prevent the new country's army from entering the city."
"Hi, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander." The chief of staff knew the seriousness of the matter. He responded with a serious expression and went to rearrange the defenses in the city.
After the chief of staff left, Abe Juju murmured, "Today, as long as we hold on to today, we still have hope."
In Abe Tokiji's opinion, even if the new country broke through the city wall tomorrow, he would still be able to lead the dwarf locust warriors to participate in street fighting.
Entering into street fighting is even more advantageous for the dwarf locust soldiers. The artillery threat of the new country's army will be greatly reduced. After all, this is the new country, and they will certainly not use artillery recklessly in the city.
Moreover, street fighting tests the quality of soldiers even more. When the distance is close, the dwarf locust warriors have more opportunities to rush forward and fight desperately.
When the new country's army is so large-scale, the little locust warrior's accurate shooting skills will be more useful. He is very confident that he can gain the upper hand in shooting against the new country's army.
Outside the city, Xue He and Wang Ming put down their telescopes. Wang Ming said speechlessly, "The city wall of Dingcao County has been in disrepair for a long time. It has cracked under the mortar bombardment."
"Old Wang, don't you see how many shells you have used?" Xue He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Even an iron wall can't withstand what you build."
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. If it is really an iron wall, with the help of 82 and 120 mortars, even if it is bombarded continuously, it may not be possible to destroy it.
On the other side, Mitsuichi Tamura led his troops from Qining early in the morning and arrived in Jin County at 10:30 in the morning.
Seeing the outline of Jin County, another brigade commander, Matsui Eimoto, suggested: "Your Excellency the division commander, the troops are tired from marching, why not rest in Jin County."
"idiot."
Tamura Mitsuichi was furious: "Matsui, the soldiers ahead are in urgent need. Why don't you urge the troops to hurry up and delay the journey?"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, I am also thinking about the warriors." Matsui Eimoto immediately defended.
Matsui Eimoto and Abe Tokiji were originally in a competitive relationship. As brigade commanders, if their teammates performed worse, wouldn't it show that they were more capable?
He even thought that he hoped Abe Tokiji would be defeated by the new country's army. What qualifications did a defeated brigade commander have to be compared with him?
Now that the country is expanding its military, he also wants to compete for the position of division commander. Of course, he will definitely not say these thoughts out loud.
Mitsukazu Tamura snorted coldly and did not continue to pursue the other party's responsibility. After all, he still had to rely on the other party in the future battles.
The army quickly passed through Jin County and marched forward for more than 20 miles. It was past eleven o'clock.
Tiancun Koichi pointed to the hills ahead and asked, "Where is that?"
"Your Excellency the division commander, the Dahuang Mountain is ahead." The translator beside him replied.
This translator was also a local of Qiyuan. He did some research before leaving, so he was quite familiar with the area.
"Yoshi, the scenery is nice. Tell all the troops to rest immediately after crossing Dahuang Mountain."
"Hi." After receiving Tamura's order, the chief of staff immediately went down to convey the order.
Hearing that they could rest and eat after crossing the mountain ahead, the dwarf locust soldiers suddenly felt a surge of strength in their bodies and marched a little faster.
At this time, the Third Division was lying in ambush inside the Dahuang Mountain, while the Thirteenth Division was lying in ambush on the plain a little further away.
The commander of the Third Division, Duan Pingliang, looked at the dwarf locust army with a telescope and couldn't help but sighed: "These dwarfs are so cute. They are risking their lives to come here and die."
"The commander chose a good place. Besides, the dwarf locusts didn't expect us to ambush them here, that's why this happened." The chief of staff said with a smile.
Duan Pingliang laughed, then asked seriously, "Have all the regiments been arranged?"
"Don't worry, Commander. Everything has been arranged in the morning."
"Okay, let the entire division prepare and try to annihilate this army right here."
"Yes, Commander."
The Intelligence Department reported the situation of Tamura Mitsuru's army as early as the morning. In order to prevent them from arriving at the battlefield at noon, the soldiers of the Third Division started eating lunch at 10:30, waiting for the battle to arrive.
"beat."
When the vanguard of the Little Locusts passed Dahuang Mountain, the Third Division did not take any action. When the central army of the Little Locusts passed Dahuang Mountain, Duan Pingliang shouted loudly, and suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire.
Caught off guard, hundreds of people in the dwarf locust army were hit.
"Hide, hide, find cover." Tamura Koichi shouted immediately.
The dwarf locust soldiers could only run to the field nearby, using the ridges as cover while engaging in a firefight with the Third Division in Dahuang Mountain.
The Chief of Staff came up to Tamura Mitsukazu and said solemnly, "Your Excellency the Division Commander, we have been fooled. The cunning new countrymen are targeting us, not Abe of Dingcao."
"No, if they defeat us, they will also destroy Abe." Tamura Koichi also reacted.
Knowing that this was the new countrymen's strategy of surrounding a point and attacking its reinforcements, he secretly cursed himself for being careless, and at the same time he became worried about Qi Yuan's situation.
If he lost this battle, as long as he saved Qi Yuan, he would still be considered meritorious. If he lost Qi Yuan, he would have no way to turn things around.
After the defeat, he would be idle for a few years at most. After losing Qiyuan, the dwarf locust was furious and might even dismiss him. After all, it was his defeat that caused Qiyuan to be short of troops, which gave the new country the opportunity to occupy Qiyuan.
In this way, he became the most suitable scapegoat.
Thinking of this, Tamura Koichi immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to General Ito, saying that our army was ambushed by the Southern Government, and ask him to pay attention to the movements of the Nanshan Government and be sure to protect Qi Yuanzhi's safety."
He could only pray that Ito Mifumi could think of other ways to curb the Nanshan government and urge the country to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
Even if we send out a division first and can hold Qiyuan, it would be good.
"Hi." A staff officer responded and went to arrange for the telecommunications department to send a telegram to Qi Chang.
Seeing that the dwarf locust soldiers were gradually showing a trend of stabilizing their front line, although the dwarf locust army was suppressed by firepower and lost a lot of men in a moment, they managed to stabilize their front line.
But before Tamura Mitsuichi could be happy, gunshots were heard behind him. It was the 13th Division that surrounded him from the rear.
An officer immediately came forward to report: "Your Excellency, the division commander, there are new people behind us."
"idiot."
