The first thousand and forty-one chapters take turns to move
"Boom boom boom..."
"What happened up front? Why was there an explosion?" An accident happened just after leaving the city. Colonel Yongsheng was not in a good mood at all and asked with a frown.
"It's a landmine... The Eighth Route Army laid mines on the road we must pass. The forward troops were attacked, and five Imperial Army and six Imperial Alliance troops were lost!" Soon, a staff lieutenant communications officer rushed over and reported.
Colonel Yongsheng's face was immediately covered with a layer of gloom!
Even the shadow of the Eighth Route Army suffered casualties without even seeing the troops. It was a bad start, and a very bad premonition appeared in his mind.
But he reacted quickly and cursed loudly: "The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. They actually started to attack us from the door of our house~"
"Detach another company from the Imperial Association Army to strengthen the forward troops, let the Imperial Association Army go in front, and the Imperial Army go in the rear. Also, order the forward troops to strengthen the reconnaissance and search on both sides of the road! I don't want to appear within 500 meters of both sides of the highway.
The Eighth Route Army sneak attack troops, go and give the order now!"
There were puppet troops in front who were cautiously clearing the way for the Japanese. In the next hour, the troops were never attacked by landmines, not even a sneak attack.
The haze on Colonel Yongsheng's face finally dissipated a lot...
"Da da da..." But at this moment, a series of dense gunshots suddenly sounded from behind!
"Sir, the rear guard was attacked by the Eighth Route Army... Because the troops reacted quickly and counterattacked immediately, the losses to the troops were not great! Only three Imperial Army troops and six Imperial Associated Army troops were lost!"
"Order the troops to strengthen their vigilance!" Colonel Yongsheng ordered through gritted teeth...
To Colonel Yongsheng's relief, it didn't take long for the aviation force to cover them to arrive.
The plane stared down at the battlefield. Unless a few people were hiding in the woods, they could not hide from the pilot's eyes.
In this case, the frequency of sneak attacks on the Japanese suddenly dropped. Even if the gunfire reached Colonel Yongsheng's ears, the casualties caused by the gunfire to the troops would be minimal.
At dawn, the three regiment commanders came to the headquarters of the 1st Brigade on the defensive line.
"Deputy Chief of Staff, the Japs must have set off now. According to their marching speed, they will be here at two o'clock in the afternoon... Do you think we should prepare and fight a blocking battle with the Japs here!"
"It would be a shame to abandon such a good fortification without using it!"
Wang Ping shook his head and asked: "Let me ask you, if the troops really have a positional battle with the Japs here when the Japs have planes in the sky and cannons on the ground, how many casualties do you plan to have here? How long do you want to hold on!"
"This~" The regiment leader looked embarrassed, hesitating for a long time and not knowing how to answer.
Wang Ping answered directly: "If you don't have a good answer, you don't have to answer... Our mission is not to keep the Japanese out of the base area, so during the entire counter-mopping up process, if we can't fight the Japanese, we won't fight them!"
"
"You have only one task now, continue to rest, replenish enough physical strength and energy, and deal with the Japanese after dark!"
"As for the little devil, he will definitely not get here before four o'clock this afternoon!"
"Don't forget the reconnaissance troops and direct-affiliated troops of each regiment that set out early this morning. With their presence, although they can't eliminate many Japs, there is still no problem in slowing down their marching speed, and I don't expect them to consume many Japs!"
"As expected, the combat mode for the next few days will be to use the main force at night, and the reconnaissance force and direct teams during the day to attack them in turn, which not only consumes their troops, but also consumes their physical strength and energy!"
The direct team did not disappoint Wang Ping...
The road that could have been covered by the Japs in six hours was dragged on by them for nine hours, and it was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that they entered Wang Ping's field of vision.
Colonel Yongsheng, who planned to fight steadily, did not choose to launch an attack directly, but chose to stay on the spot and wait for the aviation force to arrive on the scene again the next day before entering the Eighth Route Army base area, taking full advantage of the imperial army and reducing possible accidents.
At the same time, Wang Ping also called together several brigade leaders who could not wait~
"At eight o'clock tonight, the troops will start taking action on time..."
"We fought until five o'clock in the morning and ended the operation. Then before the Japanese plane came, we gave up the position and marched quickly to the forest twelve kilometers away to rest, hide and wait for dark."
"The specific night attack plan is to strengthen the mortar companies and heavy machine gun companies of each regiment in platoon units to each main battalion. According to what I gave you yesterday afternoon, first attack the Japanese guard posts and patrols,
Attracting them to counterattack, the main force used the night to find opportunities to ambush their counterattack troops. The three regiment commanders are respectively responsible for the three battalions in their hands. They can disperse the attack or coordinate operations... However, there is a prerequisite, whether it is a sneak attack
Or attack, no troops can stay in place for more than two minutes!"
"The Japs have a field artillery brigade, and one round of artillery fire can bring devastating blows to a radius of more than 100 meters... Therefore, the night attack troops must not be targeted by the Japs' artillery!"
"If attacking the Japanese guard posts and patrols is of no use, and the Japanese don't fall for the trick, just send out artillery to bombard the Japanese garrison!"
"In the same artillery position, a mortar can only fire five shells at most before retreating. It is best to retreat after three. The Japanese artillery is too powerful, and there are many artillery. It is not ruled out that they will give up precision strikes and directly
Cover the approximate area with large-scale artillery fire!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Colonel Yongsheng had an early dinner and was ready to rest.
Today, the troops began to be attacked before they entered the Eighth Route Army base area. They will definitely be attacked more frequently after entering the Eighth Route Army base area tomorrow. As a commander, you must have sufficient physical strength and energy to command the troops to fight back.
"Da da da……"
As soon as I lay down on the camp bed, I heard intensive gunshots in my ears. It was very chaotic and could be heard in all directions.
The adjutant rushed straight into the tent in panic and reported.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army is everywhere around our station, and several patrol teams and guard posts have been attacked!"
"Fortunately, we have deployed a lot of machine gun firepower points near the station, and now we have blocked the Eighth Route Army's offensive... Several squadron leaders reported that there were not many Eighth Route Army attacking us, and they requested a counterattack to kill them!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. These attacks are probably their conspiracy. The purpose is to attract us to counterattack, and then sneak attack our counterattack troops under the cover of night!"
"Order the troops to rely on the firepower points around the station to counterattack with bullets and artillery shells to repel the Eighth Route Army's attack. The troops must not leave the station!"
"As long as the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us does not come close to our station, the weapons in their hands will not be able to do anything to us!"
The adjutant looked at him with a flattering look on his face and said: "Sir is wise! I am humble enough to give orders now!"
The dense and chaotic sound of gunfire lasted for five minutes and ended, and Colonel Yong Sheng also had a proud smile on his face.
He saw that the reason why the Eighth Route Army stopped their sneak attacks was because he saw through their plot and ended the battle as a last resort.
He returned to the cot, and just as he lay down, a series of explosions immediately reached his ears.
"It was an artillery attack, and more than a dozen mortars were shooting at the same time!" Colonel Yong Sheng, who got up from the bed, made a sullen judgment!
