Chapter 773: If you can’t annihilate them all, you will be severely damaged (first update)
"Captain, there are kiddos who are heading towards the artillery position..." the chief of staff said with excitement.
There were originally only about ten mortars participating in the sneak attack tonight. In order to force Okamura Neji to submit, troops were sent to attack, and the number was increased to more than forty.
In the event of an accident, the mortars equipped by the Junping Defense Regiment and the 22nd Regiment would be wiped out by the Japanese in one fell swoop.
If you continue to invest such a large amount of money, you will finally see the results.
But Wang Lin was not happy for a few seconds before his brows furrowed: "That's not right..."
"This old devil Okamura Neji is really cunning."
"The attacking troops include artillery, infantry, cavalry and chariot troops..."
"We can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Even if we gather the strength of two groups, it will be difficult to annihilate them in a short time."
"If the ambush battle cannot be resolved quickly, Okamura Neji will definitely send other troops to reinforce the battlefield and surround us..."
"If you don't do it well, you may lose your wife and lose your troops."
Huang Yuzheng stared at the Japanese attacking troops with a serious face.
A reinforced team took the lead and explored the way ahead.
Three tanks followed, surrounded by a full infantry squadron.
The cavalry squadron Bai Lai was roaming on both sides of the team, very vigilant, to prevent the attacking troops from running into the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation.
Behind them are an infantry squadron, a mortar squadron, and a heavy machine gun squadron.
If the attacking troops are attacked, it only takes them half a minute to reach the battlefield, establish a defense line with three tanks as the center, and wait for reinforcements.
If the opponent is too strong and the attacking troops cannot hold their position despite their best efforts, they will break out in the direction of the main force under the cover of three tanks and more than a dozen mortars.
At this time, the main force of the Japs will definitely send troops to respond. Who knows, they may be able to attack from both front and back and kill many of the Eighth Route Army who are blocking the attacking troops.
The more Huang Yu looked at it, the more solemn his face became. He punched the ground in front of him with his last fist and ordered with murderous intent: "If we can't annihilate them all, we will inflict heavy damage..."
"The mission the commander gave us was to prevent Okamura Neiji from retaking Baoding easily. He did not specify the mission of annihilating the enemy for us."
"Even without this lure to lure the enemy deeper, we still killed several field artillery and heavy artillery, which made Okamura Neji feel distressed, otherwise we would not have risked sending troops to attack."
"The troops are divided into three, two battalions in one group. Each group is equipped with three mountain cannons or infantry cannons, and they attack the Japanese chasing troops head-on."
"Each team commander decides on his own the time, location, and retreat time of the raid..."
"There is only one requirement: kill the maximum number of Japanese and puppet troops at the minimum cost."
"It would be better if we could blow up a few tanks."
"This is also a very important reason why I separated mountain artillery from infantry artillery."
"We have used mountain artillery and infantry artillery to attack tanks before... Within two hundred meters, direct fire at close range will definitely blast the tank's protective armor and destroy the tank."
"Captain Tang will take action with the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 22nd Regiment, Wang Lin will lead the 1st and 2nd Battalions of Shunping Guard Regiment, and the remaining two battalions are mine. Let's take action now."
"By the way, I would like to remind everyone."
"The enemy's strength is far greater than ours. We must fight quickly when taking action. We must not be dragged on the battlefield by the enemy. Otherwise, we will definitely die. Even if the gods come, we will be unable to save our lives."

"Da da da...dong dong dong..."
A series of gunshots suddenly rang out directly in front of the Japanese attacking troops. Seven or eight of the forward team were killed and wounded in an instant.
The remaining Japs hurriedly retreated, and the three armored vehicles behind them suddenly accelerated as if on conditioned reflex, and rushed toward the Eighth Route Army's blocking position with a loud roar.
The more than a hundred Japanese soldiers protecting them formed a fighting formation at the same time, following behind the tank body and charging forward.
The rear artillerymen and another squadron were not idle either, and immediately accelerated towards the battlefield.
The cavalry guarding both sides of the team also began to expand the search area to prevent the Eighth Route Army from outflanking the team.
The entire attacking force was like a high-speed war machine, immediately changing into an offensive posture and heading towards the Eighth Route Army blocking force.
"Boom boom boom..."
The three tanks fired as they advanced. Three balls of fire immediately erupted from the blocking position not far away, and several soldiers were blown away with their weapons.
"Dong dong dong..."
The vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun immediately joined the battle, and a total of six tongues of flame intertwined together, instantly suppressing the blocking fire from the front.
At first glance, the balance of victory seems to have tipped in favor of the attacking troops.
The division commander clenched his fist and shouted: "We win..."
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Army that is blocking us on the left wing only has one reinforced company. They are finished..."
"After the attacking troops capture the blocking position, they can make persistent efforts to catch up with the artillery that just attacked us, gather together and annihilate them, ending the battle."
Okamura Neji did not answer the call.
In his opinion, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army was not so easy to defeat.
But the battlefield you see with your eyes cannot be faked. There is only one possibility: the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has hidden its true purpose, and what everyone sees now is just the appearance.
But before the other party revealed his true conspiracy, no matter how suspicious Okamura Neji was, he could not damage the morale and morale of the division commander, so he could only respond with silence.
He stared at the battlefield without blinking, hoping that they would reveal their flaws soon.
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of explosions reached Okamura Neji's ears again. Compared with tank guns, the caliber of infantry cannon and mountain cannon shells was much larger and the power was several times greater.
Two of the three tanks were instantly blown up into a ball of flames. The tanks that were charging forward quickly stopped at the same time, and then began to emit black smoke.
"Rumble..."
A more violent explosion suddenly spread inside the body of a tank, fire flew out, and the heavy turret separated from the body and hit the ground a few meters away.
Two tanks were destroyed, but one tank survived by chance and began to curve to avoid the shells.
The tank guns kept firing forward in an attempt to destroy the three newly exposed artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army.
But the effect is not good.
There are three mountain artillery pieces and infantry artillery pieces, and there is only one Japanese tank cannon. It is a one-on-three, direct-aiming shooting at close range.
When the tank gun fired the third shell, the two mountain gun shells flanked him from left to right and flew towards him at the same time.
“Dong dong dong… da da da…”
The blocking firepower on the position suddenly became denser at this moment, killing the Japanese infantry hiding behind the tanks.
The division commander was stunned by this unexpected move. Before he could react from the shock, Okamura Neji began to give orders.
"There are at least two battalions of the Eighth Route Army blocking the attacking troops."
"Now that the two sides have been strangled together, no matter what they say, they must swallow this piece of fat to boost morale."
"The attacking troops continue to attack the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions. Let me hold them back."
"Immediately transfer a brigade from the main force, divide the troops into two groups, and outflank the Eighth Route Army's retreat. Hurry up."
