Chapter 774: A man can bend and stretch (second update)
The reaction speed of the Kwantung Army on the battlefield is much faster than that of other little devils.
As soon as the reinforcement order was shouted from Okamura Neiji's mouth, nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers rushed out of the road. The troops were divided into two groups, and all the troops moved towards the battlefield to outflank them.
The battlefield is only over a thousand meters away from the highway, and you can reach the slag field in ten minutes of rapid march.
This means that the Eighth Route Army blocking troops only have ten minutes to retreat.
When the time comes, the way back is blocked and there is no place to escape even if you want to.
As for the Eighth Route reinforcements, Okamura Neji was not afraid at all.
He had an army guarding him for two nights, and all the Eighth Route Army in his wing were no match.
He wished that the sneak attack in front of him would turn into a decisive battle.
At this moment, the attacking troops were desperately attacking forward, regardless of casualties. The soldiers in front died, while the soldiers behind continued to attack forward.
Only by continuously putting pressure on the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops and giving them no chance to breathe will they be dragged on the battlefield and unable to retreat.
Okamura Neiji nodded repeatedly after seeing this, and finally removed a long-lost smile from his serious face, thinking that the Eighth Route Army that attacked him this time would definitely be unable to escape.
the more you hope, the harder you fall.
Seeing that the outflanking troops were about to move into place, the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops were also bombarded by subsequent artillery fire, leaving them with no chance to retreat.
Several explosions suddenly sounded at the artillery position directly ahead.
This was an artillery unit attacking the Eighth Route Army's blocking force. It was suddenly attacked, and the position suddenly became extremely chaotic. It was impossible to continue firing artillery shells at the blocking position.
"Rumble..."
Several explosive packets were fired by thunder cannons at the Japanese attacking troops.
There are little devils everywhere here, no need to aim.
The powerful killing radius instantly took away the lives of dozens of little Japs. The Japanese offensive was halted, and the distance between the two sides also increased from 70 to 80 meters to more than 100 meters.
Okamura Neji was confused by this unexpected move.
Unexpectedly, the situation of the battle would change drastically in the blink of an eye, and the previous chance of winning was suddenly gone.
Under the illumination of artillery fire, he could vaguely see the Eighth Route Army quickly withdrawing from the battlefield, but the outflanking troops had not yet moved in place, and the attacking troops were blocked. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only watch the Eighth Route Army withdraw from the battle.
"Bagaya Road..." Neji Okamura was about to get mad, and ordered while suppressing the anger that was coming out of his heart.
"The Eighth Route Army's trick of pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth is very powerful."
"You're going to take a piece of fat right from under our noses."
"You really can't relax when fighting them. If we show any weakness, they will catch us and give us a fatal attack."
The division commander was also very angry.
It was he who proposed the initiative to attack, but not only failed to kill the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army, but also lost the generals, wife and soldiers.
The whole battle was like a slap in the face, hitting him hard in the face. He felt angry and aggrieved, but he couldn't think of a way to fight back.
But regardless of the outcome, the attack before him was his first battle after entering North China.
Even if you can't win, you have to draw a tie, and you must never defeat.
Seeing the Eighth Route Army quickly retreating from the battlefield, they immediately asked for a fight with their last hope.
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"Although the remnants of the Eighth Route Army withdrew, the battle just now was very fierce. They killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. They must have suffered heavy casualties."
"My humble opinion is that they have at most one battalion left."
"We should continue to attack and keep up our efforts until they are eliminated."
"We have also seen the Eighth Route Army's counterattack methods. As long as they strengthen their vigilance in the subsequent pursuit battle and the troops are ready to defend against artillery, they will not want to pull out their teeth again."
Okamura Neiji firmly denied: "No, we can never pursue it any longer."
"Their counterattack just now caught us by surprise, but no one can guarantee that they only have this little counterattack method."
"In case they have other ways of attacking and catch us by surprise again, the attack force you formed may be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army."
"All the attacking troops retreated and an artillery group was immediately formed. After the artillery wing was bombarded again, it immediately dispatched mortars to counterattack."
"Send out all the scouts we have, carry flare guns with you, and move around the main force to look for the Eighth Route Army's artillery units."
"Send a signal when you find it and direct the artillery to destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery unit."
"Even if they can't be eliminated, I will blow them up so that they have no chance to stop and attack the artillery wing."
…………
"Captain Huang, I just killed at least 300 Japs, and the troops suffered less than 100 casualties. It's so cool. Is there any other way to continue to consume the Japs' strength..." Tang Chen asked with anticipation when he saw Huang Yu.
.
Huang Yu shook his head: "Okamura Neji is not a vegetarian. He just suffered a big loss at our hands, so he will definitely be very cautious."
"No matter what we do now, I guess he won't send troops to attack again."
"Let the soldiers take the time to rest."
"The artillery continues to attack the Japanese artillery regiment from a long distance. If we blow up one more field gun and heavy artillery, we will be able to receive fewer artillery shells when the counter-mopping up begins."
An hour later, when Huang Yu followed Okamura Neji and slowly drove towards Baoding City, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in a wasteland five or six hundred meters away from the road.
Huang Yu hurriedly raised his telescope, but as usual, it was blown into daylight by artillery fire. Countless gunners fell in a pool of blood in the explosion.
Huang Yu became anxious on the spot: "What's going on?"
"Don't the artillery troops move after firing one round of artillery shells? How could they be targeted by Japanese artillery?"
Huang Yu received the message five minutes later.
At this moment, the Japanese artillery counterattack has ended.
The artillery positions were littered with craters and soldier remains, and mortars were dismembered into parts and blown up everywhere.
"Captain... found out..." Chief of Staff Wang Lin hurried over.
"The Japanese deployed a large number of scouts and patrols on both sides of the road, looking for our artillery units everywhere."
"There are more than a hundred of them. No matter how hidden they are, there will always be some clues."
"The Japanese scouts will send out flares when they lock the target, and the Japanese artillerymen will fire according to the signal flares..."
Huang Yu's face quickly flashed with solemnity, and he felt extremely angry, but in the end he forced himself to calm down.
The superiority in troops, firepower, and equipment...all belong to the Japanese side.
If you fight hard and retaliate repeatedly, you will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.
I could only swallow my grievance and ordered with a look of helplessness: "Withdraw all artillery."
"The Japanese have many people and good equipment. We have few people and limited equipment. We cannot fight a war of attrition with them."
"A man is capable of bending and stretching. The advantage just now was taken by Qianggangcun Ningji. When they enter Baoding, we will take care of them."
Tang Chen, the leader of the 22nd Regiment, was very unconvinced, but when he thought about how Huang Yu had just ordered everyone to pull out the tiger's teeth and wipe out more than a thousand people under the noses of the Japanese, he decisively swallowed back the objections that had come to his lips.
Follow Huang Yu and you will have meat to eat. This is the sentence I have heard the most since I came to Yi Zhong. There must be no problem.
