Chapter 1247 Miscalculation
On the way to Songling Village in Linfen, Wang Ping was riding on a war horse and was rushing to the road. Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong chased after him.
"Captain, the army of the Invincible is urgently sent!"
"They divided the two brigades of troops from the main Japanese troops! The armored assault battalion also rushed to the battlefield and attacked them from behind the Japanese!"
"The Japanese who were blocked in Songling Village have been changed to attack to defense, and seem to be planning to wait for dawn!"
A smile flashed across Wang Ping's anxious face, and then replied: "God helps me, God is helping us Eighth Route Army!"
"It's 1:00 a.m. There are at least six hours left before the Japanese planes come here at dawn. As long as they grasp these six hours, the pressure on our daytime combat will be much smaller and the casualties will be greatly reduced!"
"Tele them back immediately and order: divide the troops into two, and divide at least three battalions of troops under the cover of half of the artillery and half of the armored vehicles on the battlefield, and take down the two thousand Japanese devils they divided before dawn!"
"Other troops, under the cover of artillery and armored vehicles, attack the main Japanese troops!"
"The main focus is on killing Japanese troops on a large scale, and killing the most Japanese soldiers with the smallest casualties. Don't worry about the ammunition trenches. Didn't the armored battalion robbed most of the ammunition supplies that the Japanese soldiers had on their shoes a few hours ago? Send all the ammunition, especially the shells, and smash them on the Japanese. Even if a mountain cannon shell only kills one Japanese, or even two shells kills one Japanese, we will make a profit in this battle!"
After dawn, the guard captain moved General Fujino to a dead end of shooting, and then established a temporary command center.
"The division commander, the two brigades in front of them were urgently powered. The Eighth Route Army surrounding them was very strong and equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. They were not equipped with artillery, and they rushed to the two wings of the encirclement twice and were shot back, losing an infantry squadron!" The Chief of Staff held a telegram report he had just received.
"Then let's hold on the spot until dawn. When the air force arrives, we will attack forward and backward to kill the Eighth Route Army blocking us!" Fujino decided without thinking.
"That's what they mean!" The Chief of Staff quickly answered!
"The two brigades have formed a joint command and built circular fortifications on site, ready to defend their positions!"
"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Fujino answered very satisfied.
He stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Did the infantry brigade behind the palace block the attack of the Eighth Route Army's armored troops!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"They destroyed two armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, and the remaining dozen armored vehicles left directly withdrew from the battle when they saw that the situation was not good. The rear guards were digging trench fortifications on the spot to block a new round of fortifications that the Eighth Route Army might move!"
"I can finally feel relieved!" Fujino said in a breath.
Then he sat on an ammunition box and continued to order: "The troops without combat missions should hurry up and rest. We will have no time to rest after dawn!"
After the Chief of Staff left, Fujino sat on the ammunition box and closed his eyes to rest~
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
I don’t know how long it took, the scream of shells passing through the sky sounded again, and then a violent explosion rang out not far away.
"It's a shelling, at least thirty artillery pieces of various caliber are facing us, and the troops are scattered and hidden. They don't have much ammunition and can't take long~" Lieutenant General Fujino, who stood up from the ammunition box, frowned and made a judgment.
In fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army's favorite is artillery.
Because they have an advantage, the battlefield is often the Imperial Army's artillery suppressed the Eighth Route Army's artillery. After the Eighth Route Army's artillery, the Imperial Army can use artillery shells to ravage the Eighth Route Army's infantry, causing them a lot of damage. At that time, the only thing waiting for the infantry may be left to clean the battlefield.
But now, when Lieutenant General Fujino heard the sound of cannons, his brows frowned involuntarily!
The ammunition is gone, and the Eighth Route Army artillery units that I have always looked down upon cannon shelling the Imperial Army without restraint!
The lethality of artillery on the battlefield is too great. Even if the Imperial Army is ready to avoid artillery bombardment, casualties will definitely be inevitable if such fierce artillery fire is smashed.
In front of us, the food loss under his command was heavy, and the remaining troops still had very important tasks to be carried out after they arrived in Taiyue. Every soldier left was very important to Fujino. Even if he lost one person in the shelling, he would feel heartbroken, not to mention that the shelling of this scale in front of him would be hundreds of people at any time there were casualties...
Fujino's judgment made the temporary command more panicked.
However, as time passed by minute by minute, the explosions kept ringing in my ears still had no intention of stopping. This tense and panic atmosphere once again spread the temporary command center.
"Second Commander, something is wrong. The Eighth Route Army's artillery has been on the way for ten minutes. They smashed at least 800 shells at us, and they didn't mean to stop at all!"
Fujino couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "Did you make a wrong judgment?"
"The attack on one's new regiment is an exception. They have ammunition enough to fire shells at themselves regardless of consumption!"
"Sir, the two brigades in front are in urgent need of power!" At this moment, the radio operator next to him suddenly stood up and reported.
"They were violently bombarded by the Eighth Route Army artillery units because the troops were crowded together and there were no artillery prevention fortifications, and the troops suffered great losses. If the Eighth Route Army besieged them launched a full-scale attack, the troops would probably not last until dawn!"
Fujino was furious and anxious, and scolded loudly: "Bageyalu, why didn't you stop the hatred bombardment?"
"Stop, the Eighth Route Army's artillery has stopped!" Perhaps because Fujino's scolding worked, the explosion that had been surrounding their ears finally stopped. The chief of staff next to him lit up and shouted excitedly.
"Da da da da~"
It lasted less than five seconds, and the sudden dense gunfire from the sound of the sudden came directly made the smile solid on the face.
"Sir, Eighth Route Army, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops appeared around us, attacking us fiercely!" A lieutenant rushed in in panic and reported, his face being smoked by the artillery fire just now.
Before Fujino could speak, another officer rushed in!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army armored troops misunderstood to our left wing and are attacking us with a large number of infantry... The outer defense line has been broken through by them and is attacking us in depth!"
A radio operator next to him put down his headphones and rubbed them, stood up, handed over a telegram and followed the report.
"The two brigades in the front were also attacked fiercely by the Eighth Route Army, and there were also armored vehicles to cover them. They were not equipped with artillery guns, so they could only organize suicide squads to counterattack. The effect was very poor, with great casualties. The first ring fortification had been broken!"
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army armored troops that entered our position turned around and did not continue to attack and go deeper! But..."
"But what? It's time, what else can't be said!" Lieutenant General Fujino finally said the first sentence after the Eighth Route Army's shelling stopped.
If you observe carefully, you will find that Nakatsura Fujino's face has turned red due to anger and frustration!
