"Commander, we have captured the Japanese artillery position..." Xie Guangfu, commander of the first battalion of the Duer Regiment, rushed to Kong Jie like a wind, giving orders with excitement on his face.
Kong Jie seemed to have not heard the good news, his expression was calm, and he kept staring at the Japanese joint headquarters with his binoculars.
After half a minute, he put down the telescope: "Not bad..."
"With the Japanese artillery position taken down, Li Yunlong's defensive pressure is obviously much less."
"There are at least 1,500 Japs between us and Li Yunlong. We must eat them as soon as possible, otherwise Huang Yu will not have enough troops to surround and annihilate the main force of Japs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi, the commander of the 26th Regiment, ran towards him: "Captain Kong, the 26th Regiment has already completed the outflanking."
"The little devils who attack the blocking position are all surrounded by us. We guarantee that they will not be able to escape."
"Okay..." Kong Jie couldn't help but shout, the tense expression on his face immediately relaxed, and he ordered decisively.
"Surrounding yourself is not enough."
"We must fight quickly, eat these little devils as quickly as possible, and then march quickly to reinforce other battlefields."
"The total number of little Japs we have here is only more than 3,000. Except for two squadrons of mountain artillery, we don't have any other heavy weapons."
"The difficulty of destroying the enemy is much lower."
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang's team has nearly five thousand people, and they have a field artillery brigade and a heavy artillery brigade."
"If the Japanese force break out of the encirclement at all costs, the regiments will not be able to hold on for long."
"The sooner we get there, the greater the chance of winning tonight's ambush."
"The thunder artillery unit can come up."
"Let them first fire a round of explosive charges at the Japs in the encirclement. The two regiments will attack at the same time, compressing the Japanese army's living space and driving them together."
"Let the thunder cannon fire a second round of explosive packets to continue to consume their troops."
"The two regiments will launch a strong attack again."
"We seized a lot of explosives in Baoding City."
"The battle situation here has been decided. If you can use explosives to deal with the remaining enemies, use explosives to try to minimize the casualties of the troops. Only then will we have the strength to encircle and annihilate other Japanese and puppet troops and counter the large-scale sweep that Okamura Neji is about to launch."
…………
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Huang Yu saw that the only regiment had successfully penetrated into place and captured the Jaap headquarters. Huang Yu's heart broke when he mentioned it, and he immediately began to issue a new round of combat orders while staring at the battlefield.
"The city's garrison regiments, the 25th Regiment, the 24th Regiment, and the 23rd Regiment, will immediately encircle the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops as planned."
"Use all the tactics you brought, launch an attack with all your strength, compress the Japanese army's living space, and then build a defense line on the spot to withstand all the little Japanese who may break through."
"The mission of the artillery remains unchanged and we will continue to attack the Japanese artillery units."
"Prevent them from providing covering fire to the infantry."
"Without the field artillery, heavy artillery, and mortars, the torpedo cannons equipped by the encircling troops have become a deadly weapon on the battlefield, and they will definitely cause heavy damage to the Japanese army."
"Xiao Huang..." Chief of Staff Shen Quan suddenly reminded.
"Do you want to contact the regimental commander and ask them to make a quick decision and deal with the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment as soon as possible?"
Huang Yu turned his head to look at the other battlefield, then raised the corners of his mouth, and said happily: "There's no need..."
"The regiment commander and the 26th Regiment have surrounded the remnants of the Yamaguchi Regiment."
"According to the planned combat plan, the general attack will be launched as soon as the flying thunder artillery troops are in place. We don't need to worry about it."
"But I have to remind Captain Li."
"In the battle just now to defend the junction, the only regiment suffered heavy losses."
"I'm afraid that the main force of the Japanese army will jump over the wall and break through the junction."
"Immediately detach a mortar company to support the Sole Regiment."
"The cavalry company will also support us. We must trap the main force of the Japanese army here."
…………
At the Japanese army position, Major General Nakamura was observing the enemy's situation with a sullen face.
The war situation was worse than he imagined.
I thought that the Yamaguchi Regiment would be his arm waiting for help, but as they retreated from the battlefield, they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army one kilometer away.
This distance seems very close, and the troops can complete it by marching in five or six minutes.
As a result, it became an insurmountable gap for Yamaguchi United.
A squadron-scale desperate assault, a brigade-scale storming attack...
After three consecutive strong attacks, the only group was beaten back.
Facing the Eighth Route Army encircling them, the Yamaguchi Regiment had to give up the attack, shrink its defenses, and wait for reinforcements.
Otherwise, the opponent can defeat them all with a single attack from both front and back.
The Yamaguchi Regiment was unreliable, and Major General Nakamura had to place his hopes on the troops around him.
As a result, their performance was even worse than Yamaguchi United.
The Field Artillery Battalion and the Heavy Artillery Battalion, as Major General Nakamura's trump card against the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, fell into a passive state from the beginning.
First, the gunner was bombed and the troops were unable to participate in the battle.
After finally grabbing a few artillery pieces from the artillery fire and trying to counterattack, the Eighth Route Army artillery moved away again.
The artillery brigade fired aggressively, but the result was a lonely explosion.
The infantry was not much better. The two infantry squadrons that occupied the junction were completely wiped out, and the reinforced squadron that defended the junction was also wiped out.
Coupled with the casualties caused by the artillery fire coverage of the troops.
The main force of the brigade lost a brigade before facing the Eighth Route Army face to face.
At this moment, Major General Nakamura had less than 3,500 troops, including nearly a thousand artillery and heavy equipment.
There are only 2,500 to 600 additional troops who can actually go to the battlefield.
With the headquarters as the center, the ring fortifications are being repaired and defensive positions are being established to prepare for the next standstill and wait for reinforcements.
"General..." The chief of staff suddenly ran towards him, looking extremely panicked, obviously having received some bad news.
"A large number of Eighth Route Army traces appeared around the main force of the brigade, with at least four regiments in strength."
"Rumble..."
Several thunderous explosions suddenly reached Major General Nakamura's ears.
Looking over Xun Sheng, three orange-red fireballs soared into the sky, and thick smoke rose into the sky at the same time, forming a huge mushroom cloud dozens of meters high.
"It's a thunder cannon..." Major General Nakamura was well-informed and could immediately tell what equipment the Eighth Route Army was using.
"The Eighth Route Army that surrounded us has begun to attack. They want to compress our army's living space and drive us together so that they can use thunder cannons and other artillery to annihilate them."
The chief of staff looked very solemn: "The troops must not get together."
"We don't have time to rush to repair the artillery fortifications. If we gather the soldiers together, the Eighth Route Army can kill several people with one artillery shell, let alone the flying thunder cannon."
"One explosive charge can kill our whole team."
"Without infantry attacks, light artillery can wipe us all out here."
Major General Nakamura was convinced and immediately ordered: "Each squadron immediately enters the position and must block the Eighth Route Army's besieging troops."
"No one can take a step back without my order."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
