"Brigadier Commander, what I mean is that we won't wait for the third brigade directly behind the little devil. With the strength of our guard brigade, we can deal with the little devil in front of us in the shortest possible time." The chief of staff said directly what he wanted to say.
idea.
"Chief of Staff, I don't want to fight. You have a bigger appetite than me. Come into the headquarters and tell me your reasons." Bruce Lee, as the brigade commander, did not dare not pay attention to the opinions of the Chief of Staff in front of him.
.Because, the chief of staff in front of him is a combat staff officer who has been with him for several years. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of his guard brigade, the commander transferred a combat staff officer from the staff department of the special military region headquarters. It can be said that the chief of staff in front of him is Commander Zhang.
Hua handed it over hand in hand.
"Brigadier Commander, you see, although our first battalion lost more than 400 soldiers, it only took them less than an hour to wipe out more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers. If we were in the second blocking position
Above, the Japs once again lost hundreds of people. The total strength of the Japs in front of us is only 4,000. The 4,000 Japs, apart from their aircraft in the sky making us wary, in other aspects
, none of our security brigade is weaker than them. Therefore, I think our security brigade is fully capable of eating up the Japanese troops in front of us..." the chief of staff said with certainty.
"Well, Chief of Staff, let me think about it..." After all, this matter is related to whether the Japanese army in front of us can be wiped out. At the same time, it is also related to the cooperation between our guard brigade and the third brigade directly under it. You must know that the order of the headquarters
Our two brigades cooperated with each other, attacked front and rear, and jointly annihilated the enemy. If our guard brigade fought this battle alone, would there be suspicion of attacking..." Brigadier Bruce Lee did not make a decision immediately, but slowly
Lost in thought.
"Brigadier Commander, there are actually two important reasons. If we really defend like this and block attacks step by step, the Japanese planes will cause us huge casualties. If we can defeat all the Japanese troops in the shortest time,
Surround them, then launch an attack, and get completely mixed up with the Japanese army. In this way, the Japanese planes will be completely useless... At that time, we can rely on the large number of light and heavy machine guns in our hands to make short-distance contacts with the Japanese army and consume them.
of effective strength." Looking at the brigade commander who was deep in thought, the chief of staff did not want to miss such a good opportunity to reduce troop casualties and continued to suggest.
"Okay, let's fight ourselves. When the time comes, Brigadier Wang will take the blame, and I will go to him personally to apologize... In short, we will fight how we can reduce the casualties of the troops. Chief of Staff, I will follow your instructions immediately,
Draft a message to Commander Gao and submit it, asking the Commander to approve the battle plan we just formulated." Brigade Commander Bruce Lee slammed the table in front of him, made the final decision with certainty, and ordered loudly.
"Yes, brigade commander, I will send a report to the commander immediately and ask him to approve our battle plan..." After receiving a positive reply from the brigade commander, the chief of staff replied in the affirmative and turned around to order the operator to send the report.
"Staff Officer Wang, immediately notify the three regiment commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible to announce important matters. Also, in the name of the brigade headquarters, directly send a report to the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion to ask them to carry out operations against the Japanese army.
After a large number of casualties, you can retreat. Tell the second battalion commander to pay attention to the casualties of the troops and not to fight with the little devils..." Looking at the departing chief of staff, brigade commander Bruce Lee said to the other man beside him.
A combat staff officer ordered.
In less than ten minutes, the three regiment commanders arrived at the brigade headquarters one after another. At the same time, Commander Gao Yuan's call back also reached Bruce Lee. The final result was no surprise, and Commander Gao did not hesitate at all.
, agreed to this combat plan. The guard brigade was required to wipe out the remaining troops of the Japanese 109th Division while minimizing troop casualties.
"Comrades, I think everyone has seen the battle between the regiment and the battalion just now. More than 500 soldiers, under the indiscriminate bombardment of the enemy planes, actually wiped out more than a thousand Japanese troops. It can be said that one battalion
A very huge victory was achieved. However, our first battalion also paid a heavy price for this... Therefore, after discussion, the chief of staff and I decided to change the combat plan of our guard brigade. From blocking the Japanese army to annihilating it,
The Japanese army, relying on the strength of our guard brigade, launched an attack on the Japanese army in front of them at the right time and wiped them out..." Looking at the three regiment commanders sitting in front of him, brigade commander Bruce Lee loudly said the emergency meeting
specific reasons.
"Total annihilation of the Japanese army, that's great... Brigadier, just give the order..." "Yes, I was thinking about this just now. There are only less than 5,000 Japanese soldiers left. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can completely defeat the Japanese army."
I have the ability to annihilate these little devils..." "Brigade commander, give me the order. Just now the entire regiment and battalion were almost wiped out. This time our regiment must be the main attacker and avenge the sacrifice of the first battalion..."
Just after brigade commander Bruce Lee finished speaking, the three regiment leaders showed a look of excitement on their faces and said confidently.
"Okay, comrades, be quiet. Now let the chief of staff assign specific tasks to everyone..." Seeing everyone's fierce reactions, Bruce Lee became more confident in his decision and gestured to the chief of staff beside him.
"Comrades, according to the discussion between the brigade commander and I, the specific tasks of each regiment are as follows: The first regiment of the Guard Brigade, with the remaining ten blocking positions, resolutely block the Japs. With the advantage of the favorable terrain, kill as many Japanese troops as possible
The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment will immediately assemble and make covert detours on both wings of the Japanese army to completely surround the Japanese army. I will only give you two hours. After two hours, the troops will immediately launch an attack. The battalion directly under the brigade headquarters will serve as the entire campaign.
The general reserve team is ready to go into battle at any time..." Under the expectant eyes of the three regiment commanders, the chief of staff announced the battle plan that had just been discussed.
"Yes, brigade commander, chief of staff, we promise to complete the mission..." After getting the mission they wanted, the faces of the three regiment commanders showed excitement. They immediately stood up from their seats and shouted loudly
Guaranteed to arrive.
"Very good. After the meeting, each regiment immediately started to take action. However, I want to remind everyone that they must pay attention to air defense. There are Japanese planes above our heads. One regiment, when acting as a blocker,
You must be careful not to fight head-on with the little devils. You must know that behind you, there are ten blocking positions that can be used..." Looking at the three group leaders who looked confident in front of him, Bruce Lee finally reminded him.
"Yes, brigade commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission..." the three regiment leaders replied at the same time. Under the gazes of Bruce Lee and the chief of staff, the three people quickly left the headquarters and headed towards their respective positions.
Ran over.
At this moment, the remaining 4,000 people of the 109th Division, led by the division commander, have arrived in front of the blocking position of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment. With the lessons learned in front of the blocking position for the first time, this time
The little devil no longer carried out any blind attacks. Instead, he ordered the air force to conduct a saturation bombing of the blocking position in front of him.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Amidst the bursts of explosions, the position of the Second Battalion was immediately covered in gunpowder smoke, and the entire earth began to tremble amidst the bursts of explosions. Although, the soldiers before the air attack
They have all gotten into the anti-aircraft holes dug in advance. But fortunately, without the attack of anti-aircraft firepower, the little Japanese planes are bombing almost close to the ground. Each bomb is like having eyes.
It landed accurately on the position. It flattened the trenches on the ground and blew up the artillery holes one by one...
Finally, with everyone looking forward to it, the three planes finally dropped the bombs in their belly, swung their wings, and reluctantly left the battlefield... However, after nearly ten minutes of intensive bombing,
Since then, this blocking position several hundred meters wide has completely changed. Even the only specially reinforced trench has only an outline left at this moment. More importantly, several anti-gun holes
, was directly hit by the bomb. As the hole was dug, no complete body could be found in the entire bomb-proof cave. There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the internal organs were mixed with the soil. It was very strange.
bloody…
"Battal Commander, the casualties have been counted. A total of 103 soldiers died, and 12 were seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle. They have been carried down now..." After counting the casualties of the troops, the instructor of the second battalion was almost red.
A pair of eyes, reporting to the second battalion commander in front of him.
"You little devil... I am at odds with you... Comrades, repair the trenches immediately, prepare for battle, avenge your fallen comrades, and let the little devil pay with your blood..." After hearing the loss, the second battalion commander pinched himself tightly.
He pointed his fist at the warrior beside him and ordered with a series of angry looks...
Perhaps it was the casualties of their comrades that made the soldiers angry. Just when a squadron of Japs, under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, charged to a distance of 300 meters from the position, all the soldiers were already lying down.
In the one-man bunker he had just repaired, he held the rifle in both hands and was ready for battle...
"Comrades, hold on tight. If the Japs don't come within 150 meters of you, you must not open fire in advance. All machine gunners, please switch positions and don't let the Japs' grenades be aimed at..."
"Looking at the soldiers all around with angry faces, the second battalion commander kept shouting and issued reminders one after another...
Maybe it was because the heavy machine guns and grenade launchers behind them kept emboldening them, or maybe the little Japanese who were in charge of the attack believed too much in the bombing they had just done. In less than a few minutes, more than 200 Japanese troops advanced to a position 150 meters away from the position.
distance. As the second battalion commander gave the order, a burst of gunfire like exploding beans immediately rang out across the entire blocking position. The dense tongues of flames fired by dozens of light machine guns were like strips of death, rapidly harvesting
Or the little devil's life...
The dozens of little Japs charging at the front immediately fell into a pool of blood after being caught off guard by the intensive firepower. However, most of the little Japs behind them relied on their skilled military movements to quickly
He lay down on the ground, dodged the bullets that had just been flying, and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the position...
"Grenadiers, fire immediately to destroy all the firepower points of the Eighth Route Army...Heavy machine guns must suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and cover the infantry to continue charging..." Under the personal command of a captain of the Dazuo Alliance, the little Japanese infantrymen acted as cover behind them.
Dozens of heavy machine guns and a neat row of grenade launchers immediately adjusted their design targets and fired raindrops of bullets and artillery shells towards the Eighth Route Army's positions...
"Chichi...ah...ah..." There was a sound of bullets being shot into the body. Dozens of light machine gunners who exposed their upper bodies and manipulated the light machine guns to fire wildly, immediately shouted
He screamed for a while and fell into a pool of blood... And the little Japanese lying in front of the position immediately stood up at the moment when the blocking firepower weakened, bent over, and ran an S-shaped charge route.
, while raising the rifle in his hand to shoot...
"Damn, why are the little devils so good at shooting? Battalion Commander, we can't keep fighting like this. In less than a few minutes, each machine gun has been replaced by at least two machine gunners, and there are dozens of soldiers.
He died under the fire of the enemy's grenade..." Looking at the corpses of the soldiers lying on the position, the instructor lying next to the second battalion commander couldn't help but remind him.
"Order all the soldiers to stop shooting... When the remaining Japs rush to a distance of thirty meters, all the machine guns will fire at once, and the riflemen will all throw grenades to bring the Japs closer and then fight. Damn it, it's just bayonets, let's
The second battalion can also annihilate these more than a hundred little devils..." After hearing the instructor's reminder, he looked at the more than a hundred little devils left in front of him. A hint of sneer appeared on the corner of the second battalion commander's mouth, and loudly
commanded…
Suddenly, the blocking position that was still firing dense rain of bullets just now seemed like the Eighth Route Army had completely retreated, without a trace of movement. However, at this moment, the remaining more than 300 soldiers, except for the machine gunners, were still hugging each other tightly.
In addition to the machine guns in their arms, the remaining riflemen took out the grenades from their waists and were ready to drop bombs at any time...
"Yo Xi, warriors, the Eighth Route Army has all retreated under the fierce attack of my heroic Imperial Army. Hurry up, rush to the Eighth Route Army's position and occupy it. You are the heroes of the Imperial Army, the heroes of the 109th Division...
"This was the first thought of the Japanese squadron leader after seeing the quiet blocking position...
"Kill..." More than a hundred little Japs, under the command of the squadron leader, completely let go of their charging pace and quickly rushed towards the blocking position that was close at hand. "One hundred meters,
Eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters..." Just when these little devils thought that victory was in hand and smiled on their faces, a huge roar suddenly sounded from the position in front of them. Then, they saw ten
Several Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly stood up from their silent positions, holding light machine guns, and appeared in front of the Japanese imperial army...
"Da da da... Baga, take cover quickly, there is an ambush..." The sound of dozens of light machine guns, the screams of the little devils, and the shouts of curses immediately sounded on the blocking position. Those who were charging at the front were still there just now.
The confident little Jaap immediately showed a look of despair as the gunfire rang out, and then, with a trace of unwillingness, he fell heavily on the way to his charge.
As for the little Japs who had successfully dodged the bullets and were lying on the ground, just when their faces showed a look of luck, a whistling sound that broke through the air quickly passed through the dense machine gun fire.
In their ears. Just when they raised their heads, raindrops of grenades appeared above their heads and in their eyes...
"Ah, Baga, it's a grenade... We were fooled... Boom boom boom..." Waves of desperate screams immediately sounded on the Japanese position. However, in just a moment, these screams were concentrated
The sound of grenade explosions completely covered... But the riflemen hiding in the trenches ignored the screams and, under the battalion commander's orders, threw the grenades around their waists into the Japanese one after another.
among the group.
"Quick, retreat immediately, machine gun cover, the troops will retreat immediately..." Amidst the dense explosions, the remaining 300 soldiers of the second battalion, carrying the lightly and seriously wounded, quickly withdrew from the battlefield along the traffic trench.
The more than a hundred little Japs covered in raindrops of grenades, after the continuous explosion of almost a thousand grenades, except for a few who were lucky enough not to die on the spot, the remaining soldiers have all turned into piles.
minced meat…
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is really cunning. Cang Maojun, order the air force to continue bombing me, and kill all the Eighth Route Army on the position for me...blow up their position for me..." Seeing that he has another squadron
The soldiers were completely destroyed without any warning. The division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, ordered with an angry look on his face.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. According to reports, the combat aircraft supporting one of our squadrons have returned because all their ammunition was exhausted in the previous attack. It will take at least an hour before we can get air reinforcements..." Look
Looking at the endless sky, Chief of Staff Colonel Kurashige reminded in a low voice.
"Baga, order the troops to stay put. After the air force arrives, we must occupy the blocking position in front of us in the shortest possible time and break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line." Hearing that the air force had all returned, the division commander was like a bird.
Like a defeated rooster, he sat on the ground listlessly and ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, we will definitely break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position in the shortest possible time..." Looking at the division commander in front of him who seemed to have lost all his vigor, Chief of Staff Colonel Kurashige also replied speechlessly.
