Chapter 458 The Eighth Route Army deceives people too much
The lieutenant lowered his head and said nothing. The chief of staff had to step forward to rescue him and said: "General, the Eighth Route Army must have too much firepower!"
"We are one kilometer away from the battlefield, but from the sound of gunfire, I am sure that the Eighth Route Army ambushing our escort is equipped with at least 70 light and heavy machine guns!"
"Such a powerful ambush firepower, coupled with the fact that our escort troops were caught off guard and attacked, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Major General Yoshino still couldn't believe this result, and frowned and asked: "Even if the loss is heavy, it has not reached the point of complete loss!"
The lieutenant faced his scalp and replied: "Sir, the Tubal Road that ambushed us was too close to us. At the beginning of the battle, seven or eight thousand grenades were thrown at our escort troops. As you can imagine, so many grenades exploded together, plus
How could they not lose all their powerful firepower!"
"Bagya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army. I must find them and destroy them!" Major General Yoshino's anger suddenly emerged, and he cursed while staring in the direction of the battlefield.
The lieutenant immediately said: "Sir, I will immediately notify the captain to hunt down the retreating troops on Tubal Road and eliminate them!"
"Nani?" Major General Yoshino frowned and refused.
"What are you chasing? Don't you know it's night now? Tubal Road has strong firepower and is equipped with heavy mortars. If there are traps ahead, won't our reinforcements also suffer heavy losses? Bagya Road!"
"Notify the escort troops! Treat the wounded, clean the battlefield, and then return to the station as soon as possible!"
"We'll take care of them when daylight comes. As long as we attack the arsenal fast enough, we can force them out and have to fight us!"
Including four mortar squadrons and more than 2,400 puppet troops, less than 500 people survived in the end, and everyone was injured, almost losing their combat effectiveness.
Faced with this result, Major General Yoshino was on the verge of tears. Although he hated the Eighth Route Army that attacked him, Major General Yoshino could only endure it first.
Otherwise, facing the elusive and well-equipped Eighth Route Army, coupled with the darkness of the night, the losses of the troops may be even greater.
On the way the security regiment and the security regiment were retreating, Commander Zhou expressed his admiration for Wang Ping.
He is courageous, has vision, and is good at seizing opportunities. More importantly, he can remain rational in the face of victory, know how to give up when things are good, and have an overall view of the situation...
Wang Ping, a regiment-level cadre, actually possesses these qualities and abilities needed to be an excellent general.
As soon as Wang Ping and Wang Ping led the retreating troops to join the retreating heavy mortar troops, the chief of staff of the guard regiment rushed over with his eyes shining brightly.
"Captain, Commander Wang, the losses have been calculated!"
"There was no loss in the artillery. The infantry lost more than 800 people. Half of them were killed. Basically, they were caused by grenades thrown by the Japanese during their counterattack!"
"However, the results we achieved were very great. Although we didn't have time to clean the battlefield, the soldiers still knew how many enemies they had killed."
"Basically, we have calculated that at least two thousand Japanese and puppet troops were killed and injured by us!"
Captain Zhou's eyes also shot out two rays of light.
"Commander Wang, if you continue to attack, the Japs will definitely lose no less than 2,000 people, or even 3,000 people! Now we have killed another 2,000 people, and a dozen heavy artillery can kill hundreds of Japs. So.
After all, there are less than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the camp!"
"If there is a chance to kill two to three thousand more of them, then the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked the arsenal will lose more than half! If you don't want to be wiped out in our hinterland, you should seriously consider whether to stay here and attack our arsenal!
"
"Then keep fighting! Tonight, we will try to kill two thousand more of them!" Wang Ping said in shock.
"Still fighting!" Captain Zhou was stunned and asked with a look of disbelief.
"The soldiers have just finished a battle and everyone is very tired. More importantly, the ammunition is basically used up." Captain Zhou expressed his concerns.
"Also, the Japs have just been deceived and lost more than 2,000 people. No matter how stupid they are, they will not make the same mistake. The Japs' reinforcements did not pursue us just now because we must be worried that there are traps waiting for them in front of us, and we are afraid that we are too far away from our base in Taiyuan.
, go deep alone and cannot retreat when attacked!"
Wang Ping analyzed calmly: "Just now we were pulling out the tiger's teeth, ambushing their attacking troops right under the nose of the Japanese. This time we will not ambush, we will directly attack and pluck the tiger's hair!"
"How to pull it out? After the battle just now, the Japs station must be heavily guarded."
"It's still the northeast corner of the Japanese and puppet army's station, where their supply troops are stationed!" Wang Ping continued his analysis.
"You are right. After the battle just now, the Japs are indeed very cautious. But there is another possibility. If we continue to use the same method to sneak attack on the Japs, the Japs will develop inertial thinking. At that time, we can unexpectedly hit the Japs.
Caught off guard."
Captain Zhou hasn't figured it out yet, but he doesn't intend to continue asking.
The battle just now made him realize that he would definitely not suffer any loss if he followed Wang Ping in the war.
"Captain Wang, as long as we solve the ammunition problem of the troops, let the soldiers take a break for two hours and eat some solid food to ensure that they can regain their combat effectiveness. As for how to fight, as I said before, the guard regiment will listen to your command!"
"I'll give everyone three hours to rest!" Wang Ping decided after looking at his watch.
"It's early in the morning, and we'll take action at three o'clock. As for the ammunition, I've prepared it. By then, each person will have fifty rounds of bullets and three grenades!" As the director of the arsenal, he still has the right to control a small amount of weapons and ammunition. Besides,
This is a protective arsenal. Even if a large amount of ammunition is used, the superiors will not say anything.
After several hours of hustle and bustle, the Japanese and puppet army garrison returned to tranquility.
Because a lot of troops were lost in the bombardment, the baggage troops stationed in the northeast corner of the station, including the baggage troops plus the guard troops, had only a little more than 2,000 troops left.
Major General Yoshino replied again that he was resting on the camp bed. He wanted to save his strength for tomorrow's battle and take revenge on the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield.
Although the patrol troops and security troops were very tired, they did not dare to blink and stared at the woods and bushes surrounding the station without moving.
No matter what kind of troubles there are around, there will be a series of bullets coming up without any mercy.
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army dares to come here, I will kill you!" Major General Yoshino shouted loudly as he climbed up from the camp bed.
As soon as he entered the headquarters, he asked: "Did the people who attacked us on Tubal Road set up mortars on the other side of the mountain just like before?"
"Hi, and it's at the same location!" the staff officer on duty replied immediately.
"The Eighth Route Army bullied people too much! You dare to use the same method twice. Is there really no way to bully the Imperial Army? Bagya Road, I will definitely destroy you this time!" Major General Yoshino felt very humiliated and cursed loudly.
