Chapter 201: Overwhelming, switching between offense and defense (additional updates, please subscribe)
I don’t have a girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, so I can only write and update with tears in my eyes.
I wish you happy singles.
I wish everyone with a wife and husband happiness and good health!
Those who are not married but are still passionately in love...forget it, skip it.
…
After receiving the order, Sakata and others were extremely excited.
Finally, I can show off my skills.
"Let the Yamazaki Brigade be the vanguard in pursuit. Be careful of enemy ambush on the road and don't get too crowded together."
"Hey Yi!"
"Contact the flying troops at all times to look for traces of the Chinese people. The enemy hastily retreated and should be hiding in the rear. As long as we find the Chinese people, we can use the tactics of driving sheep to cause damage."
"Hey Yi!"
During this operation, Okamura clearly pointed out that the Chinese had such a soldier base because of the support of the people.
As long as the common people who dare to send troops are slaughtered and the common people are frightened, the enemy's military development can be restricted to the greatest extent.
Superiors need to deal with leaders.
But we have to take care of everyone below.
Make money, plunder, and kill them all to get a good harvest!
It’s their old routine!
Li Yunlong's troops retreated, and Bantian's regiment began to pursue them.
In the following three days, all the rabbits showed a "trend of defeat."
Some messy weapons and the remains of some sacrificed soldiers were randomly abandoned.
Many destroyed 105-caliber heavy artillery can be found on the battlefield.
After the Japanese confirmed that the enemy's retreat was inconsistent, there were even some areas where at least 20,000 people did not break out of the encirclement.
"It seems that the enemy really retreated in a hurry."
"Sir, what should you do with more than 20,000 people?"
"Leave a force to strengthen the brigade and surround them. These people are already turtles in the urn, and there is no possibility of escaping!"
"Hey Yi!"
As long as these trapped Chinese soldiers run out of ammunition, it will be their death.
Shinozuka Kazuo completely let down his guard.
He believed that the enemy had become a frightened bird that could not choose its path.
Afterwards, the Japanese sent out a brigade and a second Japanese division to surround more than 20,000 rabbits, and then the rest of the troops went to chase and kill the fleeing enemies.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the long logistics line, the Japanese once again sent additional troops for protection!
In less than two days, more than 100,000 Japanese invaders broke into 60 kilometers.
When the news reached the rear, the Japanese toasted in celebration.
On the other side, the cave dwelling also conveyed news to the principal.
"Our plan to lure the enemy deep into the territory has been completed. Now is the time for the Guo army to regain Jinyuan. Please send out your colleagues to regain Jinyuan!"
Hot pot city!
When Principal Chang heard the news that Rabbit asked them to beat Jin Yuan, he sneered and said: "You damn duck has a tough mouth!"
These people contacted me a few days ago, saying that they wanted to make the rabbit look good and eat the enemy's army of 100,000.
The principal didn't believe it at all.
Look, in just ten days, the rabbit has been defeated.
Talk without shame.
I still want them to regain Jinyuan!
Nonsense!
Looking at the reports from various departments, the principal squinted his eyes and said: "This war was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that Rabbit would once again develop 70,000 well-equipped elite soldiers."
"It's a pity that we have already suffered heavy losses in this battle." Xiao Zhuge said with a smile.
"According to the staff's estimation, 30% of rabbit casualties have been reached! If we don't provide support as soon as possible, the rabbits will definitely be destroyed. The western Shanxi region will also be in danger!"
The principal sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the rabbit can't be extinct yet. Let the various ministries support it."
"good!"
If there is no support, the Shanxi barrier will fall, and Sichuan and Shu will be surrounded on all sides.
Rabbit should still be able to hold on for ten days and a half. After they went there, they just took over Rabbit's territory and blocked the Japanese troops who lacked logistics.
This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
Soon, the fruit army began to take action.
They were preparing to take over Rabbit's defense area and block the Japanese attack.
Moreover, they also contacted Yan Laoxi and asked him to send a force to assist in the attack on Jinyuan.
All forces came to the fore.
The battle situation became increasingly chaotic.
Just when everyone thought that Rabbit would be defeated and the Japanese thought that they were about to break through the mountainous area in northwestern Shanxi, the forward troops suddenly encountered strong resistance from Rabbit.
The enemy's resistance is so strong and the firepower is so powerful.
The Japanese who attacked in multiple directions lost up to 3,000 people in one day.
At the same time, the surrounded troops behind them suddenly showed their fangs!
Such as the Li Yunlong regiment pursued by Bantian United Team.
As they retreated, they occupied a high ground and were surrounded by Japanese soldiers.
After confirming that the Japs were deep into the hinterland, they directly used their powerful firepower to break out. A burst of 107 firepower covered the ground, and thermobaric bombs washed the ground, directly eliminating the two squadrons of Japs and the second Japs of a regiment who stayed here!
They managed to easily fight their way back to the position they had built before.
The offense and defense suddenly changed, and Li Yunlong's regiment directly strangled the Japanese's retreat route to death.
The more than 20,000 rabbit soldiers who were surrounded all showed their fangs at the same time.
They took out the weapons they had previously collected and then stormed the brigade surrounding them.
Within a few hours, all units broke out and returned to the previously dug blocking positions. They once again occupied these abandoned positions.
Their firepower was so fierce and powerful that the Japanese defensive forces could not stop them and were easily annihilated.
This is not an army that is about to run out of ammunition and food. This is obviously a tiger that has woken up from a nap!
In just one day, the Japanese encirclement was torn apart.
The transition between offense and defense has been completed!
Breaking into the hinterland, the Japanese who tried to rob suddenly panicked.
When they came here, they thought they could win a big victory.
Who knew that the road back would be blocked and there would be no way back!
"Baga, this is a trap!"
Didi didi~
Countless telegrams were sent to the command desk of Shinozuka Kazuo in Jinyuan.
Seeing that the attack of a large number of troops was blocked and met with strong resistance, Shinozuka Kazuo was immediately stunned.
"Contact the various departments, I'm going to confirm the strength of the rabbit's firepower."
Half an hour later!
All units once again responded in unison that the enemy's firepower was very strong.
They are equipped with artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and heavy artillery that can be carried by individual soldiers...
The enemies who intercepted them at each place were at least a brigade and at most a division in size.
There are so many troops in more than ten key points!
Even some flat areas are equipped with several brigades of heavy artillery units.
After hearing this, Shinozuka Kazuo suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
"Baga, the 13th Route Army was attacked by powerful firepower at the same time. According to this scale, the enemy has at least 100,000 well-equipped troops to stop us."
Shinozuka Kazuo slapped the table hard.
boom!
"Baga, hiss... the principal must be cooperating with Rabbit!"
"Only when the two factions in China cooperate can there be so many weapons!"
He paced back and forth anxiously: "Baga...what do the intelligence departments do? They didn't even get such important information."
"Commander, all ministries need urgent tactical guidance. Our retreat has been cut off. Their firepower is equally fierce. Based on the firepower intensity, the number of enemy troops blocking us is at least 20,000."
"No, sir, our communication lines are frequently attacked by rabbits. Enemies suddenly appear from all over the place. Our logistics and ammunition have suffered heavy losses!"
Hearing such bad news, Shinozuka Kazuo felt dizzy: "With such a careful plan, and then pretending to be a rout due to insufficient ammunition and logistics, in order to lure the enemy deeper, this is an attempt to eat our 100,000-strong army!"
Shinozuka Kazuo beat his heart, extremely upset.
If they had known that the principal was cooperating with Rabbit, they shouldn't have been so rash.
"Your Excellency, we still have a chance. We can use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao!"
Shinozuka Kazuo's eyes widened: "Souga, Sada-kun's plan is very good."
If the principal cooperates closely with Rabbit, the south will surely suffer from a shortage of elites.
They can completely let the south advance and just delay the enemy in the rear.
"Hurry up and let all the ministries...break out! Contact the flying troops to bomb the enemy's sniper positions, open up the logistics line...notify Okamura-kun...!"
"Hey Yi!"
Okamura felt incredible when he got the news.
"The enemy actually sent at least 150,000 well-equipped troops with fierce firepower to stop us?"
"Yes, Commander, because we misjudged that the enemy's ammunition was insufficient, we entered the enemy's ambush circle during pursuit. Now the enemy occupies a favorable terrain, and our breakout troops were severely damaged."
Speaking of this, the staff officer burst into tears: "The front line lost more than 7,000 people in three days."
"What's the way forward?"
"The various units were trapped in several mountains in northwestern Shanxi, and they were all trying their best to attack the enemy's blocking positions, but the effect was weak."
Old Japs Okamura rubbed his temples, looked at the battle map, and then came to the same conclusion as Shinozuka Kazuo.
The enemy tried to annihilate their 100,000-strong army that had marched into the mountainous areas of northwestern Shanxi.
"Huh, aren't you afraid that they will get their teeth knocked out?"
After thinking for a long time and discussing with the staff for a while, he formulated a battle plan: "Inform the Southern Front Army and ask them to increase their attacks on the enemy, mobilize the North China Front Army, and support the Shanxi Front Army."
"Commander, if this is the case, there will be holes in our rear forces."
"Abandon irrelevant counties and towns, and only protect important transportation hubs and arteries!"
"We can win this battle as long as we ensure the safety of our logistical supplies!"
"Also, in order to prevent enemy heavy artillery attacks and clear out all living people within a 20-kilometer radius of the airport, the safety of the rear of the airport must be ensured!"
"Hey Yi!"
The Japanese troops began to take action, and the Japanese troops deployed in North China and other places began to gather urgently.
They shrink the railway transportation network and protect transportation hubs.
About 100,000 troops were urgently transferred from Eastern Province to the battlefield in northwestern Shanxi.
In the south, various ministries began to increase their offensive efforts, making it impossible for the Guo army to detach troops for support and threatening their core hinterland.
The two sides then engaged in fierce battles again and again on most of the Dragon Kingdom battlefield.
In the frontal encirclement, Rabbit's side did not immediately release the killer weapon from the future.
They also did not use the powerful weapons provided by Chen Mu!
No smart projectiles were used.
The only thing they did was to encircle and then use individual soldiers and artillery to cut away the enemy's stubborn nails bit by bit.
Rabbits are not in a hurry, they have many things on their minds.
Anyway, the initiative is on their side!
This tactic not only attracts more Japanese support, but also trains new recruits.
Of Rabbit's current army of 200,000, only a little over 40,000 are veterans of many battles, and the rest are newcomers who have just changed careers.
They need the smelting of blood and fire to grow quickly!
Using elite Japanese soldiers to train troops, the principal must have been stunned when he heard this.
But the rabbits really did it because they had confidence.
And the Japs who were beaten until their heads exploded didn’t know at this moment that the transition between offense and defense had already been completed...
