"It's outrageous...it's just playing the piano randomly!"
The black-faced company commander did not know that his scene was clearly seen by Gao Hongming, Commander Liu and others in the observation post behind him.
After seeing this scene, some leaders just smiled, some remained calm, and some frowned slightly but said nothing. Only Political Commissar Li couldn't bear it and started scolding him on the spot.
"This is too outrageous. Why do you have to watch them being burned alive when you can obviously give them a happy life? How did Ding Wei of the new regiment lead the troops?"
Brigadier Chen on the side also became a little unhappy after hearing this, and said calmly: "How Ding Wei leads the troops is our business, and it is not your turn, Old Li, to interfere."
"you……"
Seeing that Political Commissar Li was dissatisfied and about to start an argument, Political Commissar Ping said calmly from the side: "Old Li, we are fighting a war now, not holding a symposium. If you have anything to say, we can wait until the battle is over."
Political Commissar Li and Brigadier Chen looked at each other and then at Gao Hongming next to them. They both understood the meaning of Commissar Ping's words, and then they stopped arguing.
In fact, Gao Hongming saw all the disputes between the two, but he knew very well that this was an internal matter and he could not interfere with it.
He turned around and asked Commander Liu on the side: "Sir Liu, today's attack is just a practical exercise for us. The purpose is to show you the new tactics and fighting methods of the troops after the change. Now that the purpose has been achieved, is it right?"
Should we let the new group retreat?"
Hearing this, Commander Liu touched his chin and asked: "Old Chen, the new regiment is part of your 386th Brigade. What do you think?"
Brigadier Chen was also in trouble for a while. To be honest, before the war started, he never imagined that the war would progress so smoothly.
Originally, he just wanted to see if the new group's combat power after changing clothes could bring him some surprises. Unexpectedly, the surprise went too far and almost turned into a shock.
Facing the most elite infantry regiment of the Japanese army, the New Regiment dared to take the initiative to launch an attack. It actually took less than half an hour to capture the first position. Not to mention his combat effectiveness, almost everyone watching the battle
Everyone was shocked.
Of course, although everyone knew that the main reason why the New Regiment was able to conquer the Japanese positions with overwhelming force was that the artillerymen of the Liantai Militia had already sifted the Japanese positions with artillery shells before the charge.
Under such a bombing intensity, it is very good that the Japanese army can exert 50% of its 100% combat strength. Coupled with the fierce charge of the armored battalion, the new regiment only played the final decisive role.
But even so, the battle of the new regiment still amazed everyone, and now Commander Liu asked him for his opinion, which also put him in a difficult position.
He pondered for a while and then asked, "Division Commander, if we continue to attack, the Japanese army will definitely send troops for reinforcements. Do we need to increase our troops by then? What if this tentative small-scale attack turns into a decisive battle? Let's do this well
Are you prepared?"
Brigadier Chen is indeed a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He got to the point with just one sentence.
But who is Mr. Liu? Although he is always gentle and courteous in his dealings with others, he is also a ruthless person at heart.
In 1916, when he was only 24 years old, his right eye was shot out by an enemy bullet while fighting in the National Defense War.
After the battle, the German doctor accompanying the army suggested that he undergo anesthesia before surgery, but he refused this request.
Because the medical level was not perfect at that time, anesthesia for surgery might affect later brain thinking.
After repeated confirmations, the German doctor gritted his teeth and performed the surgery on him. He remained silent during the entire operation. The pain during the operation was so painful that the sheets were torn. After the operation, his fingerprints were all over the board.
It can be seen from this that Commander Liu is also decisive in killing on the battlefield.
Hearing Brigadier Chen's question, Commander Liu did not answer, but turned to look at Gao Hongming aside, "Captain Gao, Commander Gao, if I guess correctly, you should have already made a record in your mind, right?
"
Gao Hongming burst out laughing, "Jiang is still hotter than ever. Chief Liu really hit the nail on the head."
To be honest, although today's attack was just a temporary feint, the purpose was just to test the Japanese army's defensive strength.
After all, it has only been a few days since the other ten regiments of the 129th Division received their new equipment, and it will take some time to become familiar with the new tactics and fighting styles.
But as the old saying goes, you are a bastard if you don't take advantage of it. Since the fight has already begun and we still have the upper hand, we might as well continue to invest our troops to beat the enemy.
I suggest that our Liantai Militia Group invest three more infantry battalions to expand the results, and then dispatch bomber groups to conduct large-scale bombings on Japanese positions to see if we can completely cripple the 45th Regiment!"
"If the Japanese army continues to reinforce, will the two sides engage in a war of attrition or will we suffer losses?" Commander Liu asked rhetorically.
"Then withdraw it. What a big deal!"
Gao Hongming spread his hands and said, "We have only one purpose, take advantage if there is any advantage, and run away if there is no advantage. In short, we will not do anything that will make us suffer! Don't forget that we have air superiority now. We may want to occupy the Japanese army just by bombing from planes.
The position requires some effort, but isn't it easy to cover the infantry's escape?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was amused by Gao Hongming's words. It seemed that Captain Gao was not the idiot who was rumored to only fight to the death with the Japanese.
"Buzz buzz..."
For an airport less than 100 kilometers away from the preface, it is extremely simple to dispatch aircraft for bombing.
Following Gao Hongming's order, the bomber group that had been waiting at the airport immediately took off and arrived at the Sixth Division's position in less than twenty minutes.
Two squadrons of Stuka dive bombers and two squadrons of B-25 bombers, protected by two squadrons of P-47 fighter jets, roared towards the Japanese position, throwing down things like oil drums one by one.
Yes, it's still napalm.
As the war progressed, Gao Hongming found that gasoline bombs were particularly easy to use, especially when dealing with positions held by the Japanese army, airports, ammunition depots, oil depots and various closed places. The lethality of this weapon could
To get the most out of it.
As the napalm bombs of different weights fell to the ground, they made a "clink" sound like a bottle breaking, and then bursts of fireballs flew out.
These fireballs can be big or small, but they all have one characteristic: when they fall on a person, they will be like lard paste, sticky and resistant to burning. If a person hits it with his hands, the fire will become bigger. If it rolls on the ground,
Putting out a fire will cause the whole body to be on fire.
The Japanese soldiers who were on fire screamed one by one. Many of them asked their companions for help. However, while helping their companions, many soldiers were also stuck with the napalm on their companions. They also became the ones who needed help.
people.
Some soldiers were hit by napalm and their bodies flew around randomly. After throwing the napalm on their bodies to their companions, the result was that there was another person flying around.
Things progressed to the point where no one dared to get close to the soldiers who were hit by the napalm soldiers. In the end, many officers couldn't stand it anymore and had to order the soldiers to re-shoot the injured soldiers.
