Chapter 582
Seeing that both of them were worried, Zhou Cheng quickly explained.
"The Chief of Staff can still hold on for the time being. If we don't care about anything and send troops to kill them directly, we will suffer a great loss!"
After reading the telegram, Dong Fei understood the concerns of the regiment commander and answered deeply: "We cannot kill them rashly. The Japanese have planes, so we are not prepared to kill them. We will definitely be bombed on the way to reinforcements. Maybe we will also compensate our wife and our soldiers!"
He Feng said: "You can do not send troops to reinforce the battlefield at first, but you must find a way to reduce the combat pressure on the Chief of Staff..."
"The telegram said that the Japanese army threw down a bomb and could kill one or two of our soldiers. If we allowed our Japanese army to continue to bomb, the troops under the Chief of Staff would probably not be able to hold on to the darkness."
After He Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Cheng. The regiment commander was best at solving difficult and complicated problems on the battlefield. He must have wanted to find a way to help the Chief of Staff break the deadlock.
At this moment, Dong Fei also focused his attention on the team leader, looking expectant.
Zhou Cheng did not disappoint them.
As a time traveler, his practical experience may not be as good as the two battalion commanders from the old Red Army, but Zhou Cheng had decades of experience than them, and his mind contained a lot of classic tactics and tactics that they had never been exposed to.
What he needs to do now is to dig out all the tactics and tactics in his mind, compare them one by one with the dangerous situation faced by the Chief of Staff, and find one or two of the most suitable ways to break the situation.
After thinking for less than a minute, Zhou Cheng's frowning frowns and ordered Deng Jinghua: "You call the Chief of Staff immediately. After the Japanese and puppet troops began to attack, the troops took the initiative to give up some positions for the enemy, crossed our positions with the Japanese and puppet troops, so that the planes in the sky would throw them at the slightest weapon and dare not come over and bomb us casually."
"The troops can also release smoke on the positions and create some fake targets for the plane to bomb."
"Each Japanese aircraft carries six bombs. After exhausting all the bombs they brought, they will be no longer threatened and can only return to the airport and hang up the bombs again and come over again."
"This process takes time, only ten hours during the day, so that the Japanese planes spend all their limited time on the way to return and reinforcement battlefields. Then the Chief of Staff will have less time to encounter air strikes, and the air defense pressure will also become smaller."
"Finally, I tell the Chief of Staff that the troops must stick to darkness. Before 8 o'clock in the evening, I will lead the reinforcements to the battlefield and attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield inside and outside with them."
As soon as Deng Jinghua left, He Feng and Dong Fei's eyes began to shine.
What they are most concerned about is the last sentence the leader just said.
From here to the position of the Chief of Staff, it will take more than seven hours to marches. Now there are less than ten hours left before the regiment commander and the Chief of Staff agreed to be at 8 o'clock.
Before the battle begins, the troops need time to rest.
The reinforcements also need time to assemble. After all, the reinforcements must set off within one hour to arrive at the battlefield on time, launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on time, and rescue the Chief of Staff.
The regiment commander was surrounded by two troops, the First Battalion and the Xiyang Garrison. Shouyang had just taken it down and the troops must be left behind. This means that the regiment commander could only transfer one of the troops to reinforce the Chief of Staff.
Both battalion commanders wanted to grab this mission, and looked at the regiment commander as if they were not convinced by each other, hoping to win another big victory before the battle ended.
"You two go to reinforce the Chief of Staff..." Zhou Cheng's answer surprised them.
In order to seize the task of reinforcement on the battlefield, the two of them thought about the words of asking for battle. As a result, the regiment commander did not give them a chance to speak and directly asked the two troops to participate in the battle together, so that they had nothing to fight for.
Dong Fei was most worried that he would be kept. During the siege battle, the Xiyang garrison suffered a lot of losses, and he also left a main battalion to protect the garrison. If he really wanted to choose one of two, the regiment commander could use the reason that the army suffered too much casualties.
Although I had thought of a speech to ask for a fight in my mind, I was ready to stay in the county town in my mind.
As a result, the leader actually brought them all with him. This order was like a surprise from the sky for him. His face immediately became happy and he was very happy.
But not long after, he became worried about another problem, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Looking at Zhou Cheng, he asked, "Captain, what should we do if we all leave?"
"Although we have taken down the county town, there are still many traitors and Japanese and puppet military spies hidden in the territory. If the main force is not in charge in the city, they will definitely jump out and cause great damage!"
Zhou Cheng shook his head and asked, "Who told you that there are no other troops in Shouyang!"
"When the Xiyang garrison was formed, the Shouyang garrison was also formed together, but there was no full membership. But even so, the newly established Shouyang garrison had six or seven hundred people, and it would be no problem to shock the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops and spies in Shouyang."
"When we were fighting, they were following behind as reserve teams, and it should be almost here!"
"When the Shouyang garrison enters the city, you will immediately hand over the defense and alert tasks to them, and then divide the troops to reinforce the Chief of Staff."
"The troops operated in platoons and marched quickly to the battlefield and stood by."
"Although the aircraft is very powerful, it is only useful for fixed targets and large-scale troops. One of our platoons is definitely not within their attack range."
"Even if they really dispatched planes to attack us, a platoon of troops would easily disperse and transfer, minimizing the losses caused by the air strikes!"
He Feng and Dong Fei both showed a sudden enlightenment expression, and the last touch of worry on their faces disappeared at this moment.
After receiving an order to reinforce the Chief of Staff, both battalions commanders were very happy.
But when they think of the Japanese airplanes active above everyone's heads, they couldn't laugh, and racked their brains to consider how the troops could avoid air strikes and reinforce the Chief of Staff at the minimum cost.
Just before they could think of anything, the regiment commander solved the problem as soon as they spoke. The excitement in their hearts was simply undesirable. Dong Fei immediately took the order: "Don't worry, commander, we will definitely be able to fight to the battlefield on time..."
He Feng was unwilling to fall behind and replied: "If the Japanese aircraft really attacked our infantry platoon, I would still be undesirable. This not only consumes the bombs brought by the Japanese aircraft at the minimum cost, but also reduces the combat pressure on the Chief of Staff, so that they can get fewer bombs and kill two birds with one stone."
On the battlefield south of Yangquan City, the two planes did not throw away all the bombs at once. Each plane left two bombs and continued to cruise over the battlefield in case of emergency.
Although the air strike stopped, the explosion on the battlefield did not stop, but was more violent than before.
The small defensive position has been blown up from gunpowder. Every time a shell explodes, a thick stream of black smoke will rise on the ground.
The shelling lasted only five minutes, was one kilometer long, and hundreds of black smoke columns appeared in positions less than 500 meters deep.
Chen Zhengyu's command center also suffered several shells. Fortunately, this castle was built with steel bars, cement and rails of Japanese and puppet troops. It was very strong, otherwise he would have seen the King of Hell long ago.
Chen Zhengyu squatted in the shooting hole, staring at the shelling scene outside seriously.
He has a castle to hide and can withstand the rain of shells falling from the sky.
Other soldiers are not treated as good as they are.
Except for less than half of the soldiers who have castles and anti-aircraft holes to hide, they can temporarily save their lives as long as they are not directly hit by mountain artillery shells and aviation bombs. Most soldiers have not had time to repair anti-aircraft holes, so they have to lie in the trenches with their heads in their arms, praying that the shells should not be hit by them, otherwise the trenches will not be able to protect their safety...
"Chief of Staff, the regiment commander has called back..." the radio operator suddenly shouted.
Chen Zhengyu was under great pressure. After listening to the radio operator, he suddenly became relaxed.
Because based on his understanding of the leader, this telegram must have a solution to help him solve the situation.
He grabbed the telegram, looked at three lines at a glance, quickly browsed the contents, and then shouted.
"I have forgotten such a simple way to set off cigarettes. I am so stupid! I immediately contact all the battalion commanders and ask them to prepare materials for setting off cigarettes. When the Japanese and puppet troops' artillery fire is over, they will start setting off cigarettes, so that the Japanese planes cannot carry out accurate strikes on us."
"Aren't we still seizing a few broken artillery on the battlefield? We found a few places without people to set up them up to attract Japanese planes to bomb. They only had four bombs left, and they could not threaten us after they threw them."
"As for giving up the position and crossing it with the Japanese and puppet troops, letting the Japanese planes throw themselves at the scourge, we don't use this trick for now."
"Our position is only so big, with less than five hundred meters between the two trenches in front and back. If the Japanese and puppet troops are allowed to come in and they are killed and crossed, the troops will be divided and surrounded, which is too dangerous."
"With the two methods of setting off smoke and misleading aircraft to bomb them actively, we can minimize the threat brought by air strikes and persist for a longer time. There is no need to take the risk and deliberately give up our few defensive positions."
In less than ten minutes, the Japanese and puppet troops' attack began.
The two aircraft cruising in the air also began to lower their flight altitudes and stared at the battlefield.
As long as there is a place where artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions appear that can threaten the safety of the offensive troops, they will dive towards the target without hesitation and blow it up...
"Architecture Position..." A Japanese pilot shouted with his eyes shining.
Four "mountain cannons" are mounted together, and there are dozens of artillery soldiers squatting beside them, which is equivalent to a mountain cannon squadron of the Imperial Army.
If a bomb uproots the artillery position and all the artillery soldiers are killed, it will definitely seriously damage the morale of the national rescue army.
The pilot did what he thought of, and immediately drove and rushed towards the target, preparing to drop bombs at the best distance, and a bomb destroyed the target...
