Five hundred and ninetieth eight chapters make persistent efforts
Chapter 598 Keep up the good work
"Reporting to the division commander, after half an hour of fierce fighting, all the Japanese troops in the encirclement have been cleared. A standard Japanese infantry regiment with more than 3,500 people, no one slipped through the net, and all were wiped out. This is the Japanese army captured by the soldiers.
Let me hand over the commander's sword to you..." As the shouts of killing on the battlefield slowly subsided, Li Guotian, the commander of the third special operations regiment, rushed into the headquarters with an excited face and faced the division commander in front of him.
Liu Xiaogang reported on the results achieved by the troops.
Liu Xiaogang didn't take it seriously about the huge results achieved by his troops. After all, annihilating a regiment of Japs was not a particularly difficult task for the entire special operations division. At this moment, his only worry was
The problem is that the troops suffered too many casualties and were unable to complete the next mission. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaogang asked eagerly.
"Commander Li, what are the casualties of the troops? Can we continue to fight?"
Captain Li Guotian, who was already well aware of the casualties of the troops, immediately replied: "Division Commander, in the battle just now, the casualties of the troops were not large. A total of 36 members of the Second Regiment died, 29 of them,
Temporarily losing combat effectiveness. My disbanded regiment, because it was the main attacker, suffered slightly greater casualties. 59 members died, 67 members were seriously injured, and temporarily lost combat effectiveness."
"Okay, a good fight. With less than 200 casualties, more than a thousand Japanese troops were wiped out. Quick, send a telegram to the commander immediately. I think at this moment, the commander must be the first to know this.
The person who received the news. At the same time, he asked the commander for instructions: the special operations division successfully completed its mission and completely annihilated all the Japanese troops in Hanzhuang. The special operations division asked for instructions on the next step of operations, whether to continue to annihilate the Japanese troops in Baishan County. Liu Xiaogang, commander of the special operations division
." Liu Xiaogang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his face was immediately covered with a smile, and he said excitedly.
As expected, Liu Xiaogang expected that at this moment, although the Japanese reconnaissance planes that kept appearing overhead would never come again due to the fall of night. Therefore, the entire army could march at its fastest speed on the road.
March. However, at this moment, Liu Hua's mind has been entirely focused on the Hanzhuang stronghold which is in the middle of a fierce battle.
Because the success or failure of the Hanzhuang stronghold is almost the key to the success of the entire food grabbing operation, its importance is self-evident. At this moment, the Second Special Operations Regiment sticking to Hanzhuang is facing the Japanese air superiority.
Under the constant attacks, more than half of the price has been paid in casualties.
Although Liu Xiaogang led the Third Special Operations Regiment to reinforce Hanzhuang as quickly as possible. However, who could guess that in a few hours of fighting, whether Zhang Guodong could rely on half the regiment's strength to defeat the Japanese army?
Under the fierce attack, how to defend Hanzhuang, a transportation artery that is related to the lives and safety of more than 10,000 main troops?
Just imagine, if Hanzhuang has been occupied by the Japanese army before the reinforcements arrive, then it means that the more than 10,000 main troops led by him will be divided outside the base area by the Japanese defense line. Without the base area as a support,
Under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, the entire army will surely pay an immeasurable and very heavy price.
Thinking of this, thinking of the safety of more than 10,000 troops, all gathered at the small Hanzhuang stronghold at this moment. Commander Liu Hua's heart collapsed unconsciously. He has always been atheistic.
As a soldier, at this moment, he couldn't help but start praying to heaven, praying that Hanzhuang would still be in the hands of the Second Special Operations Regiment before the reinforcements arrived.
Maybe Liu Hua's sincere prayer came true, or maybe God has a good heart and couldn't bear to watch more than 10,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers die on the battlefield for no reason. Commander Liu Hua frowned and waited for Han
When the news came from the Zhuang stronghold, the voice of the communications staff of the headquarters reached Liu Hua's ears.
"Report to Commander, Commander Liu has an urgent call." The words of the communications staff officer. Here, like a shot of stimulant, Commander Liu Hua immediately raised his head in high spirits, with a look of expectation on his face.
He looked at the panting communications staff officer in front of him, looked at the telegram in his hand, and then asked extremely eagerly.
"What did Commander Liu say? Is Hanzhuang still in the hands of our army? How is the situation in Hanzhuang now? How is the situation of the Second Special Forces Regiment?" The questions kept coming, like firing a machine gun.
Commander Liu Hua blurted out.
Seeing the eager commander in front of him, the communications staff officer didn't have time to take a breath and quickly replied: "Report to the commander, Division Commander Liu reported that all the Japanese troops attacking Hanzhuang were under the full strength of the 23rd and 23rd regiments of the Special Operations Division.
Under the attack, the entire army has been destroyed. The entire Hanzhuang stronghold is still in our hands. In addition, Commander Liu asked for instructions on the next action plan of the army."
"What, the little devils were all wiped out. Great, Hanzhuang was finally saved. Quick, give me the telegram..." As he spoke, the commander Liu Hua, who looked excited and shocked, grabbed it very domineeringly.
After passing the telegram in the hands of the communications staff officer, I began to read it carefully.
In less than a minute, as the telegram was returned to the hands of the communications staff, the frown on Commander Liu Hua's forehead completely relaxed. His whole face was slowly covered with a smile.
Shrouded. Seeing the change in the commander's expression in front of him, the communications staff member quickly asked: "Commander, how should we reply to Division Commander Liu. The troops are on an emergency march, and the communications company cannot stay too long."
At the reminder of the communications staff officer, Liu Hua immediately reacted to the surprise, and then said to the communications staff officer who was waiting for his order: "Immediately call back to Commander Liu Xiaogang: order the special operations division to leave enough troops to defend Hanzhuang."
, after ensuring the safety of Hanzhuang, the main force of the special operations division, under the leadership of Commander Liu Xiaogang, continued their efforts to reinforce the 13th Division of the Fifth Column outside the north gate of Baishan County. The two forces joined together, with Commander Zhou Baozhong as the former enemy.
The commander-in-chief, Liu Xiaogang, serves as deputy commander, responsible for commanding all troops on the front line and striving to completely annihilate the two Japanese infantry regiments outside Baishan County. Commander: Liu Hua. Send it out immediately, and of course, also to Commander Zhou Baozhong outside Baishan County.
Send a copy over."
"Yes, Commander, I will send a telegram right away..." As he spoke, the communications staff officer quickly rushed to the communications company station not far away, where he was waiting for his telegram.
At this moment, outside the city of Baishan County, which Commander Liu Hua was concerned about, two infantry regiments, plus thousands of Manchurian Army soldiers with low combat effectiveness, were under the command of commanders at all levels.
The Eighth Route Army decoy, with nearly ten thousand troops, that is, the troops led by Commander Zhou Baozhong, continuously launched small-scale attacks. As a result, the Eighth Route Army's limited ammunition was consumed, and the Eighth Route Army was trapped outside Baishan County.
Strive for total annihilation.
Commander Zhou Baozhong, who has rich combat experience, can be said to be very clear about the tactical purposes of the Japanese army. However, facing the small-scale forces that the Japanese army continuously attacks, Commander Zhou Baozhong, who has nearly 10,000 Eighth Route Army troops, has no idea.
The only way to do this is to order the troops to conduct passive defense.
Because, in order to deal with the continuous attacks of small groups of Japanese troops, the troops attacked more than ten times in a row. The outstretched iron fist was as weak as hitting a ball of cotton. Not only did it not achieve any results, but it was also weakened by the Japanese army.
The blow resulted in heavy losses.
More than a dozen sorties not only failed to achieve any substantial results, but also cost the troops more than 200 casualties. Therefore, Commander Zhou Baozhong, who had no choice but to order the troops to carry out passive defense, hoped that
Use a dense firepower network to repel the Japanese army's uninterrupted small-scale attacks again and again. Let your troops no longer suffer unnecessary losses and prepare for future breakthroughs.
In the temporary headquarters of the army, the troops once again repelled another round of Japanese attacks. Li Yuanqing, the commander of the 13th Division, who could not bear the Japanese army's guerrilla warfare tactics, said with an angry look on his face.
Entering the headquarters, he said angrily: "Commander, what kind of war is this? When did the little devil actually learn our special skill, guerrilla warfare? It's really unlucky to fight like this."
If I go down, I will go crazy. A few hours have passed, and the troops have a lot of ammunition. However, the results achieved are only about a small team of Japanese soldiers..."
Seeing the angry but still calm-minded Commander Li Yuanqing in front of him, Zhou Baozhong shook his head helplessly and said: "Old Li, you are now a division commander. The troops under your command also number more than 6,000 people.
We have more troops, why are we still so reckless? We don’t look like a division commander at all. Remember, as a commander, the lives of thousands of his subordinates are in his own hands. Therefore, no matter what situation we encounter, we need to
The first thing to do is to stay calm. Only by staying calm can we make the wisest judgment. Otherwise, you, as a division commander, will be incompetent."
Regarding Commander Zhou, Zhou Baozhong has always been his direct superior. No matter how careless Li Yuanqing is, he does not dare to be presumptuous. As soon as Zhou Baozhong finished speaking, Commander Li Yuanqing quickly replied: "Commander, I know
Okay, next time, I will definitely pay attention and never be reckless. However, this little devil's style of fighting is really annoying. I just can't hold back the bad breath in my heart. I sit here and wait for the little devil.
Come and fight us."
Regarding Li Yuanqing's words, Zhou Baozhong nodded noncommittally. After all, Zhou Baozhong had witnessed the battle for several hours. However, at this moment, Zhou Baozhong thought of the telegram he had just received from Commander Liu Hua.
.A confident smile appeared on his face.
Seeing an unusually mysterious smile suddenly appear on the commander's face. Li Yuanqing, who was very familiar with Zhou Baozhong's character, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Commander, have you come up with any good ideas to deal with us?"
Are there any little devils around?"
"Old Li, we have not received professional training in dealing with the guerrilla warfare of the Japs, so we are not our opponents yet. However, there is a unit in our field army that has been specially trained in this area. I just received a telegram from the commander,
Comrade Liu Xiaogang, the commander of the special operations division, is leading a team of 1,200 special forces members to rush towards Baishan County as fast as possible. So, let’s not be anxious. We can wait for up to two hours before we have a small force.
The Japanese are feeling better." Zhou Baozhong pointed to the telegram he had just received on the table and said with a smile on his face.
"Commander, are you telling the truth? Aren't the special operations divisions currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Hanzhuang? How can they possibly reinforce us?" Li Yuanqing asked incredulously while being excited.
Zhou Baozhong smiled and said: "Old Li, our commander's appetite this time is not just as simple as intercepting three million kilograms of grain from the Japanese army. According to the commander's request, we must at least capture the two surrounding Japanese infantry regiments.
Only by total annihilation can we achieve the ultimate strategic goal. A Japanese regiment in Hanzhuang, under the command of special operations division Liu Xiaogang, has been completely wiped out. So, next, it is the turn of the two Japanese regiments around us.
"
After reading the telegram in his hand, Commander Li Yuanqing finally showed a smile. He said with excitement: "Commander, these days of being passively beaten are finally over. Little devil, just wait. When the time comes,
, I will definitely make you feel better. Commander, what should we do next?"
Looking at Division Commander Li Yuanqing with shining eyes, Zhou Baozhong immediately ordered: "Old Li, order all units to prepare for the attack in the next two hours. The column is directly under the artillery regiment, and the division headquarters is directly under the artillery.
Battalion, immediately build artillery positions and provide artillery support at any time. In addition, during these two hours of waiting, the troops must arrange defenses, resolutely resist the small-scale Japanese attack, and wait for the arrival of the special operations division."
"Yes, Commander..." Division Commander Li Yuanqing replied cheerfully, turned around, and rushed out of the headquarters.
In the dark night, on the road from Hanzhuang to Baishan County, more than 1,200 special operations team members, under the command of Liu Xiaogang, were rapidly advancing towards Baishan County at the speed of a rapid march.
A distance of more than ten kilometers is indeed not a big problem for the special operations team members who conduct thirty kilometers of cross-country training every day. In the blink of an eye, the sound of gunfire and gunfire that occurred in the small-scale battle outside the north gate was faintly heard.
It spread to everyone's ears.
He raised the telescope in his hand and saw the huge battlefield outside the north gate of Baishan County. The fire caused by the explosion of artillery shells and grenades was clearly reflected in Liu Xiaogang's eyes. He saw that his special operations division was already very close to the battlefield.
, Commander Liu Xiaogang immediately ordered.
"Commander Li, order all battalions to be ready for battle at any time. Send more scouts around the troops. Before receiving combat orders, we must avoid all Japanese patrols. The purpose of our special operations division
, it is used as a surprise weapon, and the Japanese army must not be able to find any clues before the war begins."
Li Guotian, commander of the Third Special Operations Regiment, immediately replied: "Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."
"Division Commander, Commander Zhou's telegram..." Just when Li Guotian turned around and conveyed the order to the communications soldiers beside him, the voice of the division's communications staff reached everyone's ears.
"Old Li, it seems our mission has arrived." Liu Xiaogang said with a smile, turned around, and asked the communications staff officer in front of him: "What did Commander Zhou say?"
"The division commander, Commander Zhou ordered that after the arrival of the special operations division, find the Japanese wing headquarters as soon as possible and report it. At the same time, after the 13th Division launched a counterattack, it launched a surprise attack from behind the Japanese army, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops.
, disrupt the Japanese army’s command system and catch the Japanese army by surprise.” The communications staff officer quickly replied.
"It seems that the beheading operation has been fully utilized by all of us. Order all battalions to start operations immediately according to the original plan..." After listening to the contents of the telegram, Liu Xiaogang gave the final order.
A few minutes later, the Japanese army's position was blocked in front of everyone. Under the cover of night, more than 1,200 special operations team members were divided into several small units, carrying communication radios, and entered the battlefield.
, began to reconnoiter the locations of Japanese military headquarters at all levels.
Time passed minute by minute and more than a thousand special operations team members, like ghosts in the dark night, began to shuttle back and forth on the huge battlefield, looking for their targets.
Wing headquarters, brigade headquarters, and the locations of the Japanese military headquarters were immediately delivered to Commander Zhou Baozhong through the radio. At the same time, groups of special operations team members also relied on the cover of night to skillfully
Japanese. Hidden in the huge Japanese military camp. Waiting for the battle to start, and then launch a fatal blow to the little Japanese around him.
"Haha, the special operations division's attack was indeed extraordinary. In less than an hour, two wing headquarters and six brigade headquarters were all clearly detected. More importantly, the Japanese army's small-scale attack
, because the special operations brigade had to stop after several strikes." Following the report from his subordinate Commander Li Yuanqing, Commander Zhou Baozhong couldn't help but let out a hearty smile and said excitedly.
"Yes, Commander, I'm really impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Special Forces Division. It's like hitting the Japs with every hit. Four infantry squadrons, in their hands, are like nearly a thousand pigs. They want to
How to deal with it, how to deal with it... In less than an hour, under the attack of the special operations division, the Japanese army lost more than 600 troops. No matter how sufficient the strength of the surrounding Japanese army was, they could not withstand such an attack.
