"Battal Commander, the first company has already gone up. There are two infantry cannons, three mortars, and six heavy machine guns to provide fire cover. They should be able to quickly break through the peripheral defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops in Touguan Town!" the instructor next to him comforted.
"Don't take it lightly!" Battalion Commander Zhang shook his head and replied.
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Touguan Town are also equipped with a lot of artillery and heavy machine guns. Contact Battalion Commander Jin to strengthen the mountain artillery battery given to us. As soon as the artillery of the Japanese and puppet troops is exposed, knock it out for me immediately!"
"Order the new company to launch feint attacks from the left and right wings of the position to distract the blocking firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"There is still a second company. As soon as the breakthrough of the first company is opened, rush forward immediately, expand the breakthrough, and completely occupy the outer defense line!"
"It's...battalion commander~" The deputy battalion commander next to him immediately began to give orders.
Battalion Commander Zhang's eyes suddenly turned to the silent behind him: "Have the Third Company moved in place?"
"A simple defense line has been set up behind us, and I gave them a death order. Unless the whole company is exhausted, the Japanese will not be allowed to cross their defense line one by one!" the instructor replied, with a serious look on his face.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, a series of machine gun fire sounded from behind, startling Battalion Commander Zhang who was paying attention to the offensive position.
The correspondent of the third company rushed over panting: "Battalion Commander, there are indeed Japs behind us. We are already at war with the Japs' forward troops!"
Only then did Battalion Commander Zhang's face become truly serious.
Decisively ordered: "Tell your company commander that the people are in position!"
"Yes, battalion commander!" the correspondent replied immediately, and then rushed to the battlefield.
Another correspondent rushed over from the front: "Battal Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops on the position seem to be crazy. We just killed them in front, and they came up from behind. They were completely desperate. Our first round of attack
It didn’t work out and was beaten back by them!”
"Knowing that our reinforcements are coming, we must fight to defend our position, and then attack us from inside and outside to kill us!" The instructor is also a veteran on the battlefield. He can see the thoughts of the Japanese and puppet troops at a glance, and then make a judgment!
Battalion Commander Zhang hesitated for a few seconds and then ordered: "Since the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold are so desperate, then we will help them!"
"Tell your company commander, don't work too hard. Under the cover of artillery, focus on killing and injuring the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"I believe in the regiment commander. If the regiment commander said there will be reinforcements behind us, there will definitely be them... As long as the reinforcements arrive and the crisis behind us is resolved, the stronghold that has lost a lot of troops will definitely not be able to stop our new round of offensive!"
"Da da da... boom boom boom..."
At this time, the gunfire from behind became more and more intensive, and there were also many explosions of artillery shells in between.
The Third Company was not equipped with mortars, so these explosions could only have been caused by Japanese attacks on the Third Company's position.
Battalion Commander Zhang had already turned all his attention behind him at this time, because that was where the whole battle would break.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar reached several people's ears over the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield.
Then several people saw groups of cavalry wielding their sabers and charging behind the Japanese.
These cavalrymen had obviously reached behind the Japs in advance, and then launched a sudden attack. In the blink of an eye, these cavalrymen were fighting with the Japs' peripheral security forces.
"So many cavalry, at least one battalion!" the instructor next to Battalion Commander Zhang couldn't help but exclaimed.
"More than one battalion... the cavalry was divided into five groups to attack behind the Japanese. Each group should be a company, a total of five companies of cavalry troops!" Battalion Commander Zhang shook his head and answered.
"I didn't expect that our new regiment would hide so many cavalry troops!"
"Five hundred cavalry faced a thousand Japanese infantry. They were caught off guard and launched a sudden attack. The Japanese infantry couldn't withstand it even if I, the King of Heaven, came down to earth to command!"
The instructor next to him said: "The cavalry has already fought with the main force of the Japanese. The heavy machine guns equipped by the main force of the Japanese are all in front of the third company position, and the cavalry battalion is divided into five. The light machine guns alone will definitely not be able to stop the cavalry assault. They are finished!"
"
With their superior strength, the Japanese showed great arrogance from the beginning, holding torches and concentrating all their heavy firepower to attack the third company position.
This undoubtedly benefited the cavalry who suddenly appeared from behind.
Looking down at the entire battlefield from a high position, he raised his shining saber and slashed at the target who looked frightened.
The Japanese captain was stunned by the cavalry behind him, and immediately ordered the heavy machine gun squadron to turn around and block the cavalry coming from all directions.
However, the cavalry assault was too fast. Before the twelve heavy machine guns were in place, the cavalry with sabers rushed towards them with murderous intent.
At the Japanese division headquarters in Linfen City, the battle in Touguan Town was related to whether he could kill Wang Ping, a powerful enemy. Therefore, Lieutenant General Ito did not rest and stayed in the war room to dispatch troops.
"Division commander, the two brigades outside Touguan Town have launched a full-scale attack. I believe that in half an hour at most, good news will come from the front line!" the chief of staff reported happily.
"I hope we can kill Wang Ping this time, even if all the infantry brigades at the front are wiped out, it doesn't matter!" the division commander said with expectation.
This good mood lasted less than ten minutes before it was broken by a combat staff officer who suddenly broke in.
"Sir, something happened on the front line!"
"The garrison in Touguan Town reported that the Eighth Route Army attacking them was not 2,000 men, but nearly 4,000 men, and there were at least 500 cavalry among them!"
"This is a conspiracy. The Eighth Route Army's lurking troops launched an attack directly from behind our lurking troops. Our troops suffered heavy losses!"
Lieutenant General Ito was stunned for a moment: "How is it possible? With such a big change, why is there no news about our mole hidden in the Eighth Route Army?"
The chief of staff reacted quickly: "The insider may have been exposed!"
"This Wang Ping is too cunning. The whole battle is probably a big conspiracy against us!"
Lieutenant General Ito immediately reacted: "Bagaya Road, it must be like this!"
"Order, all the troops in Touguan Town break out immediately. You can choose the direction of your breakout. You can break out as many people as you can! The Eighth Route Army has less than 4,000 people. As long as we don't fight hard, they can't do anything to us!"
"Also, the troops who are reinforcing Touguan Town must retreat immediately. The four thousand people on the front line must have suffered heavy losses. I don't want to lose another reinforced brigade! Catch up with them immediately and let them retreat!"
"I'll give the order right away!" the chief of staff rushed out of the war room.
Lieutenant General Ito, who was full of confidence just now, now looked as if he had aged several years, sitting on the stool with all his strength.
