Chapter 419 Back to the Starting Point

The night is as cold as water.

Lianhuatang·Japanese Army Camp Field Front Command Post.

Simple military tent.

Uemura Mikio sat at the top, followed by staff officer Tsuji Masanobu, 6th Infantry Regiment Captain Nagakawa, and 18th Infantry Regiment Captain Kato.

The Qingtian Brigade, which was almost wiped out by the reorganization system, was affiliated with the 18th Infantry Regiment.

After a day of tentative attacks and fire reconnaissance, we basically figured out the firepower points and defensive deployment of the Chinese army on the opposite side.

Mikio Uemura decided to have another night attack.

This time, he did not report the action plan to the 11th Army Headquarters. The leakage of the action plan was the most direct reason for the Qingtian brigade's defeat last night.

"I command!"

All the generals and subordinates in the military tent stood up in awe.

…

"Okay, the battle plan has been read out. I will give you ten minutes to go back and prepare. We will launch the attack in ten minutes." Uemura Mikio looked at his watch and said seriously.

"Hai!"

"Qingtian-kun."

"Sir."

"As the captain of the commando team today, do you have the confidence to plant this battle flag on the highest point of Yinlong Mountain?" After all the generals withdrew from the military tent, Uemura Mikio stayed behind.

"Please rest assured, sir, Qingtian will definitely wash away the shame of last night with blood and victory, and the Japanese Empire will win!" Qingtian Yu roared while pulling his neck, showing his veins.

"Very good, Qingtian-kun, I believe you can do it. I'm waiting for the news of your triumph!" Uemura Mikio felt very satisfied and punched Qingtian's chest.

Qingtian Yu became even more excited, his chest heaving up and down, but he did not speak.

"Go get ready."

"Hai!"

"Captain Uemura, do you want to report our operation to the Commander?" Tsuji Masanobu walked over and asked in a low voice.

"We'll report back when the operation starts." Uemura Mikio said calmly. Although he couldn't tell which link the leak was in, tonight's operation was all in his mind alone and he didn't mention it to anyone in advance. , except for Aoda Yu and Tsuji Masanobu.

If the secret is leaked again, then one of these two people must be the leaker. Qingtian Yu was defeated just now and almost had to be disemboweled.

The last possibility was Tsuji Masanobu, but he didn't believe it would be Tsuji Masanobu, because Tsuji Masanobu had just been transferred from the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters, how could he leak the news?

He would rather believe that the problem lies with the 11th Army Headquarters in Xianning.

"Hai." Masanobu Tsuji nodded slightly. He supported what Mikio Uemura did. Otherwise, he would have jumped out to oppose it.

The Chinese have no idea where they will fall and where they will get up again, and a tactic will be used twice in a row.

This may be stupid, or it may have unintended consequences.

This was his motivation to take the risk and accompany Uemura Mikio to fight. In his opinion, in this battle tonight, their chances of winning were very high.

…

Sigh...

Even at a theater headquarters, voltage instability will inevitably occur. However, the headquarters has a backup emergency power supply. Even if the power plant fails, the supply can be restored quickly. It just costs a little more, but compared with Winning and losing the war are compared.

This is a small price to pay.

The duck Qin Ming sent was really good. When Xue Boling was thinking about the battle situation, he could still think of it from time to time, but it was a pity that there was only one duck.

However, there is a chance.

"Sir Xue."

"Here comes a new learner." Xue Boling moved his hips slightly and turned to glance at his old partner, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy, as if something has happened. "

"Are you not resting well and are you a little nervous?" Wu Xuexin smiled and said relaxedly, "Didn't we just win a battle? The New Qianghe Defense Line is still in our hands."

"The more it is at this time, the more we cannot relax. This battle has just begun." Xue Boling said.

"Anyway, the current feedback is pretty good. In the direction of Tongcheng and Maishi, we reminded Yang Sen and asked him to be on guard. In the direction of Mufu Mountain, two divisions of the Fifth Army are already under Commander Du's command. Under the leadership, we will march quickly and we will reach the predetermined defense line as soon as tomorrow!" Wu Xuexin said.

"I'm talking about the direction of the camp. I always feel that this guy Uemura Mikio was definitely not frightened by our blow to the head, Moyangong. If such an important task is given to such a person, Okamura Neji is not that stupid. !" Xue Boling pointed in the direction of the camp field on the sand table and said.

"We have telegraphed the 95th Division and the 19th Division to be careful. No matter how worried you are, you can't defend the position for them now?" Wu Xuexin said.

"I discussed it with Deputy Commander Bai for a long time this afternoon. His feeling is similar to mine. The Japanese army will cross Mufu Mountain and take the retreat of our 15th Army. This will take time. He cannot fly over from the sky all at once, but the camp field The direction is still the most likely place to go wrong.”

"Do you want to reinforce another division in the direction of Yingtian?"

"The place is so big. If you put so many troops there, they won't be able to spread out. They will become a living target. The existing troops are not enough to block it." Xue Boling shook his head.

"If the camp is lost, then Miluo and Xinshi will become battlegrounds, which are the main routes for the 15th Army to retreat south." Wu Xuexin said.

"There are strong fortifications on the south bank of the Miluo River. We have been repairing them for half a year, but what we didn't expect was that the enemy would bypass them and land directly on the south bank..."

The dull and rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.

Xue Boling and Wu Xuexin both turned sideways as if they had a premonition and looked in the direction of the sound. A thin figure came in a hurry.

Chief of Staff Zhao Zili.

"Sir Xue, Chief of Staff, the 95th Division has an urgent call." Zhao Zili walked over quickly and handed a message directly to Xue Boling's hand.

Xue Boling took it in his hand, glanced at it, and his brows instantly twisted into the character "Chuan". Wu Xuexin noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

"See for yourself."

Wu Xuexin received the telegram, glanced at it, and his face changed drastically: "How could this happen? Didn't they report later that the position is still in our hands?"

"We were all deceived by Uemura. This guy actually took advantage of our mentality of having just won the battle. He first paralyzed us with this weak attack, and then repeated the failed tactics. This was something we never expected!" Xue Boling sighed.

None of the Japanese generals were stupid or fools. On the contrary, all of them were cunning and deceitful.

"The camp can no longer be defended. The Japanese army's large-scale landing cannot be stopped. Send this news to the mountain city immediately." Xue Boling ordered.

"It's only been one day and the camp has been lost. I don't know how the committee will be angry."

"There is nothing we can do if we are angry. Although we have called to remind them, we cannot replace the officers and soldiers of the 95th Division. There will be a price to pay for being careless." Xue Boling said.

"Sir Xue, there is an urgent call from the 'X' team. The Shangcun detachment intends to launch another attack on the Yingtian garrison position tonight..." Confidential staff rushed in.

It's too late.

Why couldn't it be deciphered and informed in advance?

Obviously, Uemura's battle plan this time was kept very secret. He probably even reported it to Neiji Okamura but he killed it first and reported it later. What does this mean?

There is a very high level of vigilance within the Japanese army against leaks of combat plans.

It is basically impossible to replicate the victory at Yinlong Mountain.

The camp field was lost.

Everyone in the "X" team was very frustrated. Just a dozen hours ago, they were celebrating the victory of "Yinlong Mountain", but now they heard the news that the camp was lost.

And it was a victory telegram sent by the Japanese Army's Uemura Detachment to the 11th Army Headquarters.

In just half an hour, the Yinlong Mountain position was breached. Although the defenders resisted, they were unable to organize effective resistance under the fierce Japanese artillery fire and were defeated across the board.

Most of the defenders were killed, including battalion commander Xia Shaowu. A small number of officers and soldiers fled and were taken into custody. The Japanese army's Shangcun detachment was directed towards Miluo Town.

Rocky led the 95th Division headquarters to Miluo Town and re-launched defenses.

"Everyone, cheer up. The outcome of a battle doesn't mean anything. Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Only in this way can we finally have the last laugh." Luo Yao encouraged everyone.

"Qin Zhu is right. The victory or defeat of a war does not depend on the gain or loss of a position, but whether we can defeat the enemy in the end. We are not defeated yet. Everyone should rest and rest. Those who should stick to their posts should continue to stick to their posts. Don't be discouraged. !" As the deputy team leader, Meng Tian naturally has to stand with Luo Yao at this moment to give everyone confidence.

"It's gone, it's gone..."

Lin Banggu waved his hand and let the crowd disperse.

…

There was a small meeting in Luo Yao's office.

"Team Qin, fortunately we have been vaccinated before. Although it is difficult for everyone to accept the news for a while, their emotions are quite stable." Meng Tian said.

"After Uemura launched the attack, Neji Okamura made a report. He still used this password. What does this mean?" Luo Yao asked.

"The Japanese army has not found the reason why the first night attack failed." Li Fu answered first.

"Although the reason for the leak has not been found, the leak of secret communication is one of the directions they suspect. Otherwise, he would not be so cautious and not report until after launching the attack." Xu Jihong put away his charming smile and acted very serious and calm.

"And this time, we didn't have any precautions, which means everything he did worked. So the leak has nothing to do with the village detachment?"

"If they are sure that there is no possibility of leaking secrets, then there is only one possibility left..." Xu Jihong glanced at everyone and asked, "You are watching what I am doing, aren't you?"

"If this is the case, then the contents of the Japanese military's coded communications that we are currently deciphering are not trustworthy. They will need to change the code, new call signs and contact frequencies."

"If this is the case, then our work will be back to square one." Huo Tian said.

Luo Yao nodded: "It's not scary to go back to the starting point. Decoding is a boring job, and you have to keep going in circles. This is our job. There is nothing to complain about. This is how we do it. It will be of very limited help in the next battle.”

"For meritorious service, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I don't care about this moment." Huo Tian laughed and said freely.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
