Five hundred and eighty-eighth chapter military taboo
Xiong Changhe reacted very quickly. He stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Captain, do you want to use an unconventional fighting method?"
"But! How can we call it an unconventional fight?"
Wang Ping did not answer the question. He was stunned for a few seconds and then issued a series of orders that left the two company commanders confused.
After finishing, he did not forget to add: "There is a saying that puts oneself to death to survive. What we need to do now is to put ourselves to death!"
Major Ida, captain of the fifth battalion of the Japanese army, was the direct commander of the encirclement and suppression of Wang Ping tonight, and he acted with his first squadron.
"The troops speed up and march quickly to the destination. Don't let the enemy escape again!" The march of the First Squadron was already very fast, and Major Kageda continued to urge everyone to speed up.
The squadron leader next to him immediately said: "Captain, the reconnaissance team reported that the enemy is still in the stronghold of Shimiao Town and has not broken out. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to kill them here tonight!"
The remnants of the new regiment were not as easy to deal with as the squadron leaders imagined. This could be seen from the fact that the brigade commander Matsumoto stayed up all night and personally planned the battle.
Therefore, facing the arrogance and confidence of his subordinates, the captain, Major Ida, was not as happy as everyone imagined, but frowned and looked serious.
Then he stared at the squadron leader beside him and asked: "How far is it from Shimiao Town?"
"Less than two kilometers!" the squadron leader replied quickly.
"Almost!" The expression on Major Ida's face became more serious.
He frowned and ordered: "Contact the Second Squadron immediately, and the troops will immediately deploy and form a battle formation to attack Shimiao Town!"
"The same goes for the First Squadron, deploy quickly! The enemy must have known about our incoming attack, and maybe they are already thinking of ways to break out. We must nip all accidents in the bud!"
"Hi!"
Major Ida was very surprised. The remnants of the New Regiment watched helplessly as they were surrounded. Instead of breaking out, they strengthened their position around the stronghold and prepared to defend Shimiao Town.
"Are these Tubal soldiers stupid? There are less than 200 people who want to defend to the death!" After hearing the report from the forward reconnaissance unit, Major Ida asked with disbelief.
"I can't understand even my humble position!" the squadron leader replied, shaking his head.
After Major Ida hesitated for a few seconds, the expression on his face did not change.
Finally, he ordered with a look of helplessness: "No matter what, contact all the troops and immediately complete the siege of Shimiao Town. Let's trap them here first."
"Should we launch an attack directly?" the squadron leader suggested.
Seeing that Major Ida still had a hesitant expression, the squadron leader added: "After all, we have nearly ten times the strength advantage. If so many people dare not attack in the face of more than a hundred Tubal Road, they will be defeated.
Others are laughing at you!”
"Attack!" Major Ida ordered through gritted teeth.
His subordinates were right. If he didn't even dare to attack with such a huge strength advantage, he, the captain, would definitely be laughed at by his colleagues. Maybe the brigade commander would also look down on him, thinking that he, the captain, had no independent opinion.
But he did not forget the repeated instructions given to him by the brigade commander before setting off.
All the explanations can be summed up in one sentence: the remnants of the new regiment are too difficult to deal with, and the regiment leader is very powerful. On the battlefield, every decision you make must be cautious and cautious. Otherwise, if you make a bad decision, this decision can ruin dozens or even several people.
The lives of hundreds of imperial troops!
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately added: "Wait a minute, tell the squadron leaders that the attack is an attack, and there must be no mistakes in the blockade surrounding Shimiao Town!"
"No one can guarantee whether the new group will take advantage of our attack, seize the loopholes in our defense, and then suddenly break through!"
In the stronghold occupied by the new regiment in Shimiao Town, except for the seven or eight wounded who continued to guard the unarmed wounded, the others had all dispersed to the defense lines around the stronghold.
With the defensive line as the center, Wang Ping deployed a total of two lines of defense.
Due to limited troop strength, all troops were concentrated on the first line of defense. Each platoon defended one side and retreated upon receiving an order. Even if they were not ordered to do so, they could not retreat even if they were all sacrificed.
"Captain, the Japs have begun to attack!" Xiong Changhe, who was guarding the company's rows of positions, reported in a serious tone as soon as he checked the defense lines in all four directions.
Until now, except for Wang Ping, the leader of the new regiment, everyone is full of confusion and worry about Wang Ping's insistence on defending Shimiao Town.
From their point of view, holding on to this place is no different than throwing a gun at the enemy and sending yourself to death.
However, Wang Ping brought too many surprises and accidents to everyone after he became the group leader. Wang Ping was so persistent that everyone had no choice but to take a gamble with Wang Ping.
The worst case scenario is just like what the group leader said at the beginning, put it to death and survive.
Wang Ping is very aware of everyone's worries. In this case, any explanation is redundant for them. Only by winning the battle and proving to them that his choice is right can he dispel their inner worries.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the Japanese attack, Wang Ping raised his telescope and stared at the battlefield.
"There is only one combat unit of Japanese soldiers and one platoon of puppet troops in each direction. This is a tentative attack!" Wang Ping analyzed with a frown.
Then he began to issue orders: "Notify each platoon that I allow them to use all defensive firepower on the position. However, they must find a way to kill these offensive troops for me!"
"Who among the four platoon leaders can control casualties and kill the Japanese and puppet attacking troops? When the army expands, I will directly promote him to the company commander!"
Xiong Changhe's brows furrowed immediately. He exposed all his trump cards to the enemy at the beginning of the battle. This was definitely a taboo for military strategists.
What's more important is that the attack in front of us is just a tentative attack by the Japanese, which is even more taboo for military strategists.
However, the regimental commander in front of him did this despite knowing that this was a taboo for military strategists. He was either confused or he had heard wrongly.
"Captain, you did use all our defensive firepower from the beginning."
"If you don't expose all your firepower and scare the Japanese, they won't use all their strength in the subsequent attack!" Wang Ping was very sure of the order he had just given and explained by the way.
Xiong Changhe still had an expression of incomprehension, but he chose to accept it. Since he decided to take a gamble with the regiment leader from the beginning, he should not doubt the regiment leader's orders during the battle.
Soon, the four platoon commanders received an order that made them excited and full of expectations.
Especially the platoon commanders of the two companies, they have the strongest firepower. In addition to three light machine guns, there is also a heavy machine gun.
As for the remaining two platoons, they only have four light machine guns!
