"Old Yan, if the main force of the regiment is here, with such fierce artillery fire, even if we can't kill the remaining Japs before dawn, we can still kill them almost!" Rong Jun replied with a frown.
Yan Song replied helplessly: "There is no way, we can't lose the remaining troops in our hands, otherwise there will be no way to stop the remaining Japanese here after dawn!"
"The little devil is so cruel. He caused so many casualties to us before he died. It's so abominable!"
"However, even if we don't have troops to attack them, artillery alone can cause huge casualties to the Japanese at the foot of the mountain!"
"The political commissar has sent us more than 10,000 rounds of various artillery shells, which are all carried by the little devils with the army. Now we can let the artillery shells go back to where they came from. Even if we shoot them all out, we won't be heartbroken!"
"Let the artillery stop and let the Japanese slow down their attack. Ten minutes later, give them a two-minute burst of artillery fire!"
Rong Jun's eyes lit up and he replied: "What a good idea!"
"Using artillery fire to attack the Japs can maximize the destructive power of the shells. I agree that this attack can not only kill a large number of Japs, save shells, but also keep the nerves of the remaining Japs in a state of tension.
After daybreak, even if their planes come, I will have to fight with a pair of dark circles under my eyes!"
The atmosphere at the temporary headquarters where Fujino was located was very depressing.
As soon as the piercing screams and violent explosions stopped, the chief of staff couldn't help shouting: "It has finally stopped. Division commander, should you order the troops to rescue the wounded immediately?"
"The shelling just now was chaotic and without a fixed target. There must be wounded everywhere on the position!"
Fujino replied without thinking: "Then why don't you give the order...the army only has this few troops left, if you can save one person from death, one person will die!"
The little devils hiding in different locations got up or came out with lingering fears.
"Quickly, treat the wounded. Everyone must be checked and treated as long as they are still breathing!" the officers scattered among them immediately ordered.
After the shelling ended, the battlefield that had been quiet for less than half a minute suddenly became lively.
The surviving little Japs began to check each fallen soldier in groups.
"There is a living medical soldier here, come and stop the bleeding!" a Japanese sergeant shouted loudly.
The medical soldiers carrying medicine boxes rushed over.
"There is also a living person here. His shoulder was injured and he needs surgery..."
Various cries began to ring out on the battlefield, and many wounded people among the corpses were stood up. After being briefly bandaged, they were carried by soldiers to a relatively safe location for further treatment!
"Woooooooo..."
While all the Japanese were busy, a series of screams of artillery shells sounded again, which made them dismay.
"Baga, bombardment~ Everyone take cover..."
The Japanese who were completely exposed on the battlefield panicked and ignored the wounded around them. They left them lying on the ground and held their heads.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as they lay down, violent explosions rang in their ears, and hot air waves rolled behind them, telling the devils that shells were exploding next to them.
At the temporary command post, Fujino had just had time to take a breath when harsh screams and violent explosions were heard.
"Baga!" Fujino sat down on the ammunition box.
He cursed loudly: "The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. They suddenly opened fire when all the imperial troops were exposed on the battlefield!"
"Division commander, the losses of the troops in this round of artillery fire must be very heavy!" the chief of staff replied hesitantly.
"That goes without saying! This must be the Eighth Route Army's intention to use artillery shells to kill us and severely injure us. They didn't waste a single soldier and just wasted some of the artillery shells they captured from us in the middle of the night... Bagh Ya Road...
"
Perhaps to prove Fujino's judgment, the rapid artillery attack only lasted two minutes and ended.
The battlefield shrouded in explosions became quiet again.
This time, the chief of staff did not speak!
Just now, I proposed to search and rescue the wounded so that the troops would be completely exposed in their positions, and then encounter a sudden attack from the Japanese artillery fire.
Everyone, including the chief of staff, looked at Fujino, waiting for Fujino to give an order.
"Baga, what are you doing here? Search and rescue the wounded immediately, be fast, and immediately disperse and hide after the search and rescue is completed!" The reaction of his subordinates made Fujino's anger rise, and he cursed regardless of his own identity.
This shelling obviously caused more casualties to the Japs. Five minutes had passed, and there were still many Japs searching, rescuing, and relocating on the battlefield~
"Woooooooo..."
What the Japs didn't expect was that this time it only stopped for five minutes before the ear-piercing screams pierced the air.
Just like before, this round of artillery fire attack lasted only two minutes and was over!
This time, Fujino himself didn't know what to do.
He ordered the troops to come out to search and rescue the wounded, but the artillery shells suddenly hit him. If he was caught off guard, he would definitely lose more troops!
Without searching and rescuing the casualties, those who were not directly killed by the bombing would freeze to death just from bleeding and cold.
Fujino was struggling in his heart, looking hesitant and not knowing what to do!
"Order the troops to disperse and hide. No one can come out without orders!" Fujino finally decided to abandon the wounded and save the intact and alive troops first.
Although it is cruel, this decision is undoubtedly the best for the situation he is facing now.
After struggling like this for more than two hours, daylight finally broke.
"Division commander, in ten minutes at most, the aviation force will arrive on the battlefield!" The radio operator stood up and reported.
"The artillerymen of the new regiment will definitely not dare to come out again. Ten minutes is not enough time for them to move the artillery!" Fujino, who had been nervous for more than two hours, finally took a deep breath and answered.
Then he ordered the chief of staff: "The troops can come out! Search and rescue the wounded immediately to see if anyone is alive. Save one if you can!"
"Also, immediately count the casualties and report to me the strength of the remaining infantry brigades. Replenish when necessary and reduce when necessary. We must ensure that the fist troops are fully equipped and the combat effectiveness does not decrease!"
Not long after the chief of staff left, the huge roar of the plane came from far and near.
Fujino relaxed completely, but his face was still as ugly as ever.
The arrival of the aviation force made him more and more confident for the coming battle, and he no longer had to worry about the Eighth Route Army artillery. However, the strength of the troops at hand was still unclear. If the casualties of the troops were too great, no matter how many planes came to cover him, then
It’s of no use!
Therefore, until the chief of staff came back, he was still worried!
