"Haha, the two captains are looking outside." Liu Lang's laughter had a sly tone.
Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang were stunned. They looked outside the headquarters and couldn't help but laugh.
Because they were entangled in the war, the two regimental commanders walked back and forth in the headquarters for a long time without paying attention to the weather.
At this time, the sky had turned completely dark.
In the previous offensive and defensive battles, the Independent Regiment has proved with facts that they also have artillery, not only mortars, but also more powerful mountain artillery. If they continue to bombard so unscrupulously in the dark, the flames from the muzzle can completely
After exposing their position, the Japanese artillery was not stupid and naturally gradually stopped.
What's more, there are a lot of artillery shells. The war is not over yet, and the Japanese don't dare to use up all the ammunition stores in one go, right?
Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang were also veterans of the battlefield. After just one look at the sky, they knew why Liu Lang dared to make such a bold prediction.
Qi Guangyuan was not annoyed at being put off by this colleague who was more than ten years younger. Just because Liu Lang defeated the crazy attack of more than 7,000 Japanese from almost an entire brigade with one group, he had already
I have the right to have equal dialogue with them.
No one will ever regard Liu Lang as a young man who relied on luck to become the captain of a colonel.
"Commander Liu means night fighting? This is a good idea." Qi Guangyuan was quite moved. This is what the 29th Army has done a lot. A few days ago, Zhao Dengyu's brigade used a big blade to chop up more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, which was a real feat.
It's eye-catching.
"That's what I meant, but because the Japanese did not retreat but instead dug fortifications to defend themselves, the plan changed slightly..." Liu Lang said.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Qi Guangyuan agreed readily this time.
As for the Japanese artillery brigade, they were not only worried about the muzzle flames being exposed as the sky darkened, but they were also worried about insufficient ammunition storage. An artillery brigade had 720 packhorses, so they still had plenty of shells.
It's that the two Japanese artillery brigades can no longer concentrate on "shooting" at this moment.
Because around them, vague shadows of Chinese infantry appeared, and their number was definitely not small, at least one regiment.
This frightened the captains of the two infantry squadrons responsible for providing defense to the artillery brigade.
The Japanese army is very detailed in the organization of various military services, and they do what they need to do.
A mountain artillery brigade has more than 900 people, 720 pack horses, and 12 mountain cannons. It has three artillery squadrons, each with 195 people, 138 horses, and 4 guns. There is also an infantry squadron of 200 people responsible for providing basic security defense for the mountain artillery brigade. The entire
The mountain artillery brigade only has more than 500 long and short guns.
In other words, except for the infantry squadrons responsible for providing defense, professional artillerymen are not responsible for fighting with you with guns. They are just playing with cannons. If the infantry squadron is finished, the artillerymen are almost like lambs to be slaughtered.
If an hour ago, let alone a regiment, even a division, two infantry squadron captains leading 200 people would not have changed their expressions.
In addition to them, there are more than 7,000 troops in the 4th Brigade! Anyone who wants to die can come.
But now, the news of the defeat on the front line has spread, and it is obvious what a regiment of Chinese troops who emerged from there wants to do.
The worst thing is that Luo Wenyu is a mountainous area. In order to spread out the formation, the two artillery brigades also spent a lot of effort. They just need to find a flat place to put down a cannon. This result also led to excessive dispersion and defense loopholes.
Too big.
The two infantry squadrons have a total of less than 400 people. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to defend the artillery units scattered over an area of nearly one square kilometer.
As for them, don’t they have cannons? Use cannons to kill those nasty Chinese.
I'm really sorry, artillery is a god of war that is so awesome at long range. No matter how brave you are, you can't use it to fight a bayonet. If the distance is too close, the artillery is just an iron lump.
The Chinese troops poured out of the mountains and forests and were under the nose of the artillery brigade in the blink of an eye.
Although they had no intention of attacking, they dug individual bunkers on the spot and started a confrontation with two infantry squadrons. The dozens of heavy machine guns placed instantly made the two infantry squadron captains lose the courage to drive away each other.
What are the Chinese doing?
They know that the Chinese like to engage in night battles because they lack aircraft and artillery. This clearly means that they should wait until the dead of night, when the moon is quiet and the wind is high, before starting a war.
While hurriedly sending two infantry squadrons to set up defenses where the Chinese army was infested, they also sent messengers to the brigade headquarters that was building fortifications five miles away to ask for help. There were still more than 2,000 troops there, so sending two squadrons would basically be enough.
Block the Chinese attack.
"The Nani Chinese have sent a regiment to attack our artillery brigade?" Suzuki Mitsuo's eyes widened after hearing the request for help report from the artillery brigade's communications unit.
According to the intelligence, Luo Wenyu was stationed by an independent regiment of the Central Army of China. Why did another regiment pop up? No wonder he suffered such heavy losses. It turned out to be due to his misjudgment of the enemy's situation.
"Baga, those idiots in the Intelligence Department deserve to die. The Imperial Army suffered such heavy losses due to their mistakes. I must report this situation to His Excellency General Muto." Suzuki Mimitsu stared at his big eyes and pulled out his general.
Saber slashed his military pony in half.
There is no way, in the field, someone as distinguished as Major General Suzuki Mitsuchi can only sit on a small horse. Others, whether you are a colonel or a private, can only sit on the ground. The Japanese army is actually not rich, and is far inferior to some
The generals of the national army are accompanied by beautiful female secretaries whenever they go out.
But at this moment, Major General Suzuki, who had found the outlet, obviously had no choice but to sit still.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the top priority now is how to rescue Kihara Shinichi and the others!" Gu Yiyi tried his best to hide the disdain in his eyes and put on a smile to persuade.
Of course he knew what Suzuki Mitsuchi was thinking. Someone had to take responsibility for such a tragic defeat with the loss of nearly 5,000 people. The division commander's tone in the telegram earlier when he ordered them to stand still and wait for reinforcements was not very clear, but it almost foreshadowed it.
Now that Commander Suzuki Mitsuchi is finished, the best outcome of dismissal and investigation may be just a wishful thinking. When the division commander arrives tomorrow, perhaps caesarean section will be his end.
It was not easy to find it because the intelligence department made a mistake in investigating the enemy's situation, which led to a lack of understanding of the enemy's military strength. How could Suzuki Mitsuru let go of this life-saving straw? Perhaps, at the moment he learned about the regiment sent by the Chinese, he
I feel so happy!
However, Gu Yiyi was not too worried about his future, because he had persuaded Suzuki Mitumi and had fulfilled his duty as chief of staff, so no one could blame him.
Even if Suzuki Mitsutsu is finished, he might be able to go one step further and become the brigade commander! As long as the more than 2,000 veterans in the brigade are still there, the 4th Brigade still has a chance to make a comeback.
Suzuki Mitsuo glanced at his chief of staff with a sinister look, calmed down, and tried to keep his tone calm: "The Chinese people are very cunning, and there must be another conspiracy. We can't be fooled again."
Gu Yiyi...
If he were Zhao Ergou, he would definitely reply: "How can you beat thousands of us to this if you are not cunning with your nonsense?"
