Chapter 1321 The battle situation suddenly changed
"Commander..."
The report from the correspondent brought Li Yunlong back to reality from his dream.
"The Kwantung Army forward troops are crazy..."
"Desperately launching an attack on our troops cutting off their junction..."
"Light and heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars...all are used. We are under great pressure to divide our troops..."
Li Yunlong quickly turned his attention to the Japanese forward troops...
There are more than 300 elite Kwantung Army soldiers left there.
They have formed a battle formation and are attacking the junction one after another.
Grenades and mortars were scattered among the attacking troops.
When he had the opportunity, he fired grenades and artillery shells at the divided troops, causing heavy casualties to the divided troops. Several light and heavy machine guns were destroyed...
"This is the last struggle of the little devils before they die... They won't be crazy for long... As long as they divide the troops to block their offensive and break their morale... these little devils will collapse on the spot..."
"Tell our divided forces... to hold the position at all costs..."
"All the artillery aimed at the Japanese forward troops... blasted them hard, covering and dividing the troops to hold their positions..."
"The kid can go crazy, and I can go crazy too..."
The artillery staff officer on the side immediately reminded: "Commander... the Japanese attacking troops are too scattered... the power of mortar shells is limited... fire now... one shell may not be able to kill even a small Japanese..."
Li Yunlong glared at the artillery staff officer and cursed: "Which is more important, the shells or the lives of soldiers..."
"One cannonball can't blow up a little devil, so use two cannonballs to blow it up..."
"There are only more than 300 Japanese forward troops left. Two artillery shells can kill one Japanese. We only need six to seven hundred artillery shells..."
"And our division troops are not vegetarians. The rifles in their hands are not fire sticks. They can definitely kill a lot of little devils..."
"Excuting an order……"
"Concentrate all the mortars for me to blast the Japs forward troops and knock off their offensive..."
Two minutes later, a series of dense explosions came from the location of the Kwantung Army's forward troops.
Li Yunlong turned around and looked over. Dozens of clouds of black smoke rose into the sky among the Japanese. Although he didn't kill many Kwantung Army troops, they were frightened.
As the second and even third rounds of shells came down, the offensive of the forward troops was finally affected because the formation was blown apart.
"Commander...Good news from the Second Regiment..." Another correspondent rushed into the headquarters and reported excitedly.
"They successfully captured the Japanese regiment headquarters under the cover of artillery... They eliminated more than 500 Kwantung Army infantrymen. The captain of the Kwantung Army's colonel was blown up by an artillery shot. Only the command knife and epaulettes were found..."
Li Yunlong was very happy. He hit the sandbag in front of him with his clenched fist to vent his excitement and shouted: "Damn it, after fighting for so long, I finally heard some exciting news..."
"Tell Captain Huang of the Second Regiment..."
"The battle has not ended yet. The second regiment was immediately divided into three battalion units to reinforce the three regiments respectively to eliminate the Japanese forward troops, rear troops, and the remnants of the Kwantung Army on the battlefield..."
"I want to wipe out all the Kwantung Army on the battlefield, and not a single one of them can escape..."
…………
Chaoyang Kwantung Army Garrison Headquarters.
The chief of staff who stayed here was pacing back and forth in the war room, anxiously awaiting news.
After the commander of the regiment went on the attack, the two sides contacted each other every hour.
Twenty minutes have passed since the one-hour contact time agreed upon by both parties, but the headquarters operator still has not contacted them.
The most likely possibility of such an accident is that something happened to the co-captain.
But when I thought about it, the commander of the regiment commanded two fully-equipped infantry brigades and an artillery battalion, and there were not many Eighth Route Army troops operating in Xijiagou, probably less than 1,000 men.
It is equivalent to the commander having two or three times the advantage in troops and firepower. Even if the commander directs the battle with his eyes closed, he can win the battle.
But why did the main force of the alliance lose contact? The chief of staff couldn't understand.
"Chief of Staff... Your Excellency, the Wing Commander, has an urgent call... They were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the march..." The operator hurriedly ran behind the Chief of Staff and reported nervously.
"The telegram said that the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army far exceeded our estimate. There were at least two thousand participating troops, and they were also equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars..."
"The main force of the regiment has been divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army into three parts..."
"The commander of the regiment is trying to assemble the troops and look for an opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army that besieged them and destroy them."
The chief of staff quickly walked to the sand table and found the specific location where the main force of the regiment was ambushed, and then showed a shocked expression on his face.
"This is indeed a good place for an ambush... The Eighth Route Army really knows how to choose..."
"Call back to the commander immediately: Do you need reinforcements from the county?"
"Do you need the headquarters to contact the aviation force and ask the aviation force to send aircraft to support the battlefield?"
The operator immediately rushed to the telecommunications room and returned to the chief of staff ten minutes later: "Report to the chief of staff..."
"The commander said he does not need reinforcements... He is absolutely sure to turn defeat into victory and destroy the Eighth Route Army that besieged them..."
"And it's too late to send troops to reinforce the battlefield now."
After hearing these words, the chief of staff's tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Although the commander of the regiment is very arrogant, he has very rich command and combat experience.
Since he said he could stabilize the battle, there must be no problem.
As a result, less than twenty minutes after he was happy, the hurried figure of the telegraph operator ran towards him again.
Compared with the previous times, the operator at this moment was more nervous and there was a touch of solemnity on his face.
"chief of staff……"
"Something happened to your Excellency, Captain..."
"I just received a farewell telegram from him..."
"The artillery brigade was the first to be captured by the Eighth Route Army... The regiment headquarters is being besieged by the Eighth Route Army. The troops have suffered heavy casualties. The regiment commander is ready to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army..."
"Then the radio stations on both sides lost contact..."
"No matter how we called, there was no response from the commander..."
"The humble suspicion headquarters was attacked by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army, and the radio station was bombed..."
"Bagh Ya Road, how could this happen..." The chief of staff was so blown away that he slumped down on his chair, his face full of shock and disbelief.
He murmured to himself: "How could the war situation change so quickly..."
"Didn't the co-captain just say that he was sure of stabilizing the situation and turning defeat into victory? Why did he suddenly lose... Can anyone tell me why?"
The staff officers in the war room all frowned.
Without battlefield intelligence, they had no idea what was going on with the commander, so they could only choose to remain silent!
