"Captain of the protection wing, move immediately!" As soon as the captain of the captain's command was issued, the guard captain next to him ordered.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounded the commander and moved around as quickly as possible.
The first task of the guards is to protect the captain of the Colonel-General. As for the other things, they cannot and cannot control them.
Two minutes later, the wing leader stopped and looked back at the heavy artillery group where he hoped to be. Except for thick black smoke rising into the sky and blazing fireballs, nothing else could be seen.
Looking around, only less than one-fifth of the artillerymen from the artillery position crowded with more than 2,000 people came out.
They were scattered around the position, staring blankly at the artillery position that had been completely filled with artillery fire, as if they were frightened.
"Sir, it's over... Even if those heavy artillery were not bombed and there are no gunners, those heavy artillery are just a pile of scrap metal and have no effect!" The guard captain looked at the tragic scene in front of him and hesitated to report.
By this time, the captain of the Colonel-General had recovered from his initial shock and despair. He stared at the guard captain and ordered: "The Eighth Route Army's mortar group is nearby, not even two kilometers away from us!"
"Immediately report to the division commander and request the troops to attack and kill them!"
"Also, immediately dispatch gunners from behind to reinforce us."
"As long as the cannon is not destroyed and the Eighth Route Army mortar group is killed, we will immediately enter the position to counterattack!"
Kato Division Commander was very angry. The heavy artillery regiment that allowed him to compete on the frontal battlefield was beaten to a pulp by a mortar group of the Eighth Route Army. This was an outcome that he never expected.
"Sir, the Heavy Artillery Regiment reports that the Eighth Route Army mortar group is located 1,500 meters east of them. Request troops to attack immediately and outflank and kill them!" the communications officer of the Heavy Artillery Regiment reported when he saw Lieutenant General Kato.
.
"Also, the power of mortars is limited, and it is certainly impossible to destroy the heavy artillery we are equipped with, but the loss of personnel will be great. Please ask the division commander to transfer a thousand gunners from the artillery wing to reinforce the heavy artillery wing!"
"As long as a thousand gunners are in place, the heavy artillery unit will be able to regain its combat effectiveness immediately!"
Kato's rising anger suddenly disappeared. He stared at the lieutenant in front of him and asked, "This is what your commander said!"
"Hi!" the lieutenant communications officer replied quickly.
The tense nerves of the chief of staff next to him suddenly relaxed, and he shouted happily: "Division commander, this is good news!"
The angry expression on the face of Kato Division Leader immediately disappeared, and he immediately ordered: "Then why are you still standing there, go make arrangements quickly!"
"The artillery regiment will deploy half of its manpower and arrive at the heavy artillery group position within twenty minutes."
Then he turned his attention to the lieutenant communications officer in front of him: "Go back and tell your company commander that the reinforcements will arrive in twenty minutes. From now on, within half an hour, we must kill the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery!"
"The threat of these heavy artillery to us is too great. We have casualties with every shell that hits us. So far, these heavy artillery have caused at least a thousand casualties to us, but their bombardment has not stopped yet!
"
"If he fails to complete the task, he will directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" After saying this, Captain Kato's face became serious again, and his words were full of murderous intent!
As soon as the communications officer left, the commander of Kato Division stared at the chief of staff and continued to order: "The closest to the heavy artillery group position is the Watanabe Regiment. Immediately order the Watanabe Regiment to attack and outflank the Eighth Route Army's mortar group!"
On a hilltop a few kilometers away, Wang Ping held up a telescope and stared at the battlefield motionless for almost an hour.
"Commander, a Japanese infantry regiment is attacking the Chief of Staff. The troops are divided into two groups. They want to make the Chief of Staff's dumplings and annihilate them all!" a combat staff officer behind him reported!
As soon as he finished speaking, another staff officer said: "Commander, the heavy artillery battalion is almost out of shells, please retreat!"
"Order!" Wang Ping, who was holding the telescope, did not move, but stared at the battlefield and began to give orders!
"The Japanese heavy artillery group has been covered with artillery fire by our mortar group. There is no possibility of firing until reinforcements arrive. The heavy artillery battalion has suspended its retreat. Their mission of serving as bait has not been completed. Each gun will fire another twenty
Fire the cannon and pop it out. Make sure every cannonball misses and cause maximum damage to the little devil!"
"Armored Assault Battalion, set off immediately to protect the Chief of Staff and our mortar unit. From now on, the mortar group commanded by the Chief of Staff will also be a decoy in our hands. Suppress the Japanese heavy artillery group, no matter what.
Let the artillerymen reinforced by the Japanese enter the artillery position!"
"The one closest to the Chief of Staff is Jin Kaiba. Order to come in and lead the fifth battalion. A new fifth battalion, an independent fifth battalion, will immediately reinforce the chief of staff. Cooperate with the mortar group and the armored assault battalion to severely damage the little Japs who break out of the station!"
"Of course, it's best to kill them if you have the chance. The chief of staff will unified command all participating troops!"
"Rumble..."
The roar of the huge engine could be heard very far in the night, but under the cover of the fierce gunfire on the battlefield, the Watanabe Regiment that rushed out of the station did not hear it.
The remaining 14 armored vehicles and two tanks of the armored battalion were divided into two, with the tank taking the lead, and the armored vehicles following suit, forming a huge triangular assault formation, attacking the Japanese infantry rushing towards the front!
"What's the sound in front of you!" the little devil walking in the front suddenly shouted.
The leader of the squadron subconsciously lay on the ground, put his ear to the ground, and his face turned pale.
"Baga, it's a chariot. A chariot is rushing toward us!"
"Everyone stops advancing and switches to defense on the spot. Immediately report to the commander of the regiment that the Eighth Route Army is equipped with tanks. We are not equipped with direct-fire artillery. Please ask for artillery reinforcements!"
The squadron leader's reaction speed was very fast. Under his command, more than a hundred soldiers deployed a simple but practical defense line in just half a minute.
"Da da da……"
In the middle of the invisible bushes in front of me, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out.
As if on command, more and more gunshots began to ring out in the middle of the bushes.
More than a dozen thick tongues of flame were particularly dazzling under the darkness of night. Immediately afterwards, armored vehicles and tanks turned on their lights!
The battlefield that was dark just a moment ago turned into daylight in an instant.
More than a hundred Japanese figures, either squatting or lying down, were suddenly exposed in front of the armored assault battalion.
"Da da da……"
More than a dozen bullets flying out from the flames followed the car lights and flew towards these little devils.
"Baga, it's an armored vehicle... Counterattack immediately. We must resist them. We must not let them attack the main force behind. Otherwise, the entire regiment will suffer heavy losses!" The squadron leader, who has a big picture view, gritted his teeth and ordered!
However, flesh and blood is flesh and blood after all.
Although they were not afraid of death, they shot forward desperately, and even organized a death squad of more than fifty people. But in the face of armored vehicles and dense bullets, these counterattacks were in vain.
Just like the ripples caused by a pebble on the water surface, they quickly disappear completely!
