Chapter 460: Ueda Kenkichi sent two regiments to their deaths
Do you want to go there in person?
Shang Jing looked at Yamaguchi Ikki who was going out with his command knife, and opened his mouth to remind him something, but finally thought that if the commander appeared on the battlefield now, it would greatly boost morale, so he didn't say anything, but asked several people around him to follow him out. As for himself, he should stay here to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Although he knew that the other party could not do anything now, it was always better to be prepared for the worst.
buzzing...
Another wave of incoming bombers appeared in the sky.
A dozen small black dots were getting closer and closer, and the moment Captain Tsuki, who was in charge of the bombing mission, arrived above the battlefield, he became so angry that he started cursing at the army.
It was clearly agreed that they would only take action after the air force bombed them several times. What does this mean?
"They are worried. Let's take away their credit." The bombardier next to him said aggrievedly.
Tsuki turned his head and looked at the bombardier. Although he had the same idea in his mind, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he looked at the tangled ?; "In this case, let's go forward."
If the battle fails, it has nothing to do with me. Everything is their own fault. After all, the bombing coordinates I got are currently the location of the Imperial Army. You can't say that it was his independent regiment who took action first.
The flying echelon in the air quickly crossed the battlefield where hand-to-hand combat was taking place and rushed towards the 58th Division nearby.
Just after this bombing echelon passed, the remaining artillery of the independent regiment once again launched a fierce bombardment on the front of the Yamaguchi Brigade. Taking advantage of the time of the bombardment, tanks and anti-aircraft machine guns, with a regiment of reinforcements, led by Captain Zhang, followed behind the tanks and advanced towards the front position of the Japanese army.
The moment Yamaguchi Kazuki heard the sound of artillery fire, his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to go back quickly to organize resistance, but now he couldn't get away at all. Two officers holding imperial samurai swords stopped him on the left and right.
He was distracted for a moment and got cut on his arm. The pain was so severe that he almost couldn't hold the command knife steadily.
"Baga." Looking at the two people opposite him, Yamaguchi Kazuki did not dare to be distracted and held the samurai sword tightly with both hands.
His intuition told him that these two people had both learned swordsmanship, and their levels were very high, at least higher than his own.
Facing him were Zhou Weiguo and Takeshita Shun. Yamaguchi Ikkimoto planned to come up just to show his respect and boost morale, but he didn't expect that a few people suddenly appeared from the opposite side and rushed towards him with their soldiers like chopping watermelons.
In that case, whoever dared to stop them would have to die. As the commander of the brigade, Yamamoto Ikki was in a situation where he had to fight. He was also a master of swordsmanship, so he did not take the two men seriously. But after the fight, he regretted that he should not have come to this place and should have stayed in the command center. Wouldn't that be better?
Now, I can’t leave even if I want to.
Zhou Weiguo was not used to holding a knife with both hands. He pointed the tip of the knife at the ground, and when he saw blood on the other party's arm, he turned his head and looked at Takeshita Shun; "I leave it to you."
Takeshita Shun turned his head and nodded. "Go and help them. I want this piece of shit today."
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo turned around and rushed towards Fang Shengli.
He just took a look and saw that Xu He and Zhao Shoutian were working together, but Fang Shengli was with Ono.
Ono originally had no intention of coming up, but he couldn't stand the chattering of Xiao Ya and the others, especially when Chao Xiang Xiuling said that he had no balls, which instantly made his blood boil and he picked up a command knife and went to the battlefield.
then……
Then he wanted to regret and run away, but he was worried that the supervision team behind him that Tian Jing was with would defeat him, so he had to deal with it with all his strength.
He hadn't trained for several years and was a little rusty, but fortunately Fang Shengli and Kobayashi Keiko were by his side, so he could catch his breath.
"You...you tell me, what do I...what do I want?" He wiped the blood off his body and said to Keiko Kobayashi while panting.
Kobayashi Keiko looked at his slightly bulging belly and said, "I usually ask you to find excuses to train me. After this time, I will take an hour every day to train you personally."
"I won't." Ono refused firmly, and he would not suffer no matter what.
"Really? I'll let Xiao Ya come and invite you when the time comes." Kobayashi Keiko blocked a rifle that was extended by a Japanese soldier, and then chopped the man to the ground with a knife. She didn't even bother to see if he was dead or not, because there were people following her anyway, so she went up and stabbed him twice more.
Xiao Ye's mouth twitched. If it was anyone else, he could still hold on for a while, but for Xiao Ya, he really didn't have the courage to pick up the command knife; "It's just training, it's not like we haven't trained before.
"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, the general is here, don't come to us, we are fine, go to the general." Fang Shengli saw Zhou Weiguo and a few others coming over here and shouted loudly.
Zhou Weiguo had been in the front and had no idea that the military commander had come up. He looked around and saw many Japanese soldiers rushing towards the 11 o'clock direction. He guessed that was where the military commander was, so he said "OK" and led his men to rush over there.
Ueda Kenkichi's transport plane finally circled over the battlefield. Looking down from the porthole, if the conditions allowed, he would definitely jump down and slap Yamaguchi Ikki twice.
What did he see? The Yamaguchi Brigade was actually attacked from both sides by the enemy, and even showed signs of collapse. The supplies originally located in the rear seemed to have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
"Baga, what did Yamaguchi do? Didn't I tell you to wait until the air force had dealt a devastating blow to them before launching an attack? Why did they launch an attack in advance?"
The people below could not hear the insults, and the people next to him did not dare to easily tell Yamaguchi's plan. Even though everyone knew it, they could not easily say it out loud.
"Let the Hata Detachment quickly launch an attack on the positions of the 51st Division and the 59th Army. The aviation force that originally planned to launch a bombing attack on the Independent Regiment should quickly move to support the Hata Detachment. In addition, the 13th Division should temporarily suspend its rescue of the Yamaguchi Brigade and immediately attack the troops on their right. The regiment that should attack the 58th Division should quickly withdraw and move towards the direction of the Hata Detachment to join the attack. After defeating the opponent's defense line, continue to advance forward."
This order not only made the adjutant next to him tremble with fear, but also made his back feel slightly cold.
Why did he listen to the message and feel that the two regiments of the Yamaguchi Brigade were no longer responsible?
"General, don't you plan to lend them a helping hand?" The adjutant stepped forward, bent over and asked.
If we don't rescue them, these two squadrons may not be able to get out.
Ueda Kanekichi glanced at his adjutant, then he crossed his arms and said, "I can understand that he wants to gain credit, but that's no reason for him to ruin my plan. Since he has ruined it, he will naturally have to pay the corresponding price. Rather than wasting time for the survival of these two squadrons, it is better to make their sacrifice more valuable."
