Chapter seven hundred and seventy fourth brigade commander does not believe
Dozens of light and heavy machine guns and more than twenty mortars fire together, which is simply not enough for an infantry squadron.
When he raised the telescope again, the infantry squadron had suffered all casualties.
The artillery squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and infantry artillery squadron also suffered heavy losses.
Because they were rarely equipped with self-defense weapons, they did not even have the opportunity to squat down to operate mortars and heavy machine guns. The remaining imperial troops all lay on the ground, suppressed by the bullets flying above their heads, unable to move.
"It's over. Our follow-up troops are over. Even if we kill them, we won't be able to save a few people!" Major Yun Tian analyzed with a look of despair.
Then he began to issue orders: "Stop reinforcing the follow-up troops, we will break out directly, break out now!"
The two squadron leaders were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.
Although the expression on his face didn't change much, his heart was indeed filled with joy.
If we continue to reinforce, facing the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, even if our troops are not completely wiped out, they will shed a layer of skin and suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, from the beginning, the two squadron leaders thought about retreating, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Jin Kai was commanding the troops to launch an attack on the Japanese rear troops.
Under the exhaustion of heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers, there were not many Japanese rear troops left.
It only takes one attack to break through the interception of the Japanese rear troops.
Just when he was about to give the attack order, the firepower company commander next to him reminded him very anxiously: "Captain Jin, the Japanese seem to be trying to escape~"
The Japanese who had just sent reinforcements were retreating quickly, and then they gathered and retreated from the slopes and fields on both sides of the road!
"The troops will attack immediately, kill the Japs standing in front of us, and then chase them and fight the retreating troops. The fat in our mouths cannot be allowed to let them escape like this..."
Next to the little Japanese army column, the regiment leader Wang Ping and the commander also joined the moving army.
Together with everyone else, carry boxes and boxes of ammunition to the cart next to you, and then transport them away.
"Captain, the Japanese reinforcements are coming..." Suddenly, a radio operator from the communications platoon rushed over and reported.
Wang Ping and the commander put down the boxes they had just carried on their shoulders almost at the same time, and then jumped out of the military train carriage.
"How many Japs are here?" Wang Ping asked, staring at the operator.
The radio operator quickly replied: "The chief of staff reported that Linfen City sent a mixed brigade to transport troops by car. However, the road ten kilometers away from us has been renovated by us. As expected, the Japanese have now got out of the car and are marching in a hurry.
Come and kill us!"
"What is the chief of staff going to do?" Wang Ping frowned suddenly, then stared at the operator and asked the most important question.
The operator hesitated and replied: "The chief of staff said that they do not intend to attack the Japanese to block the attack. If possible, he wants to eat up the mixed brigade coming out of Linfen City, or at least severely damage them."
"No, it's too risky!" Before Wang Ping could speak, the commander next to him frowned and objected.
Then he analyzed with a serious face: "The Japs are a mixed brigade. If I remember correctly, Zhong Chenggong only has less than two companies in his hands. Even if they have some heavy equipment in their hands, the Japs also have it, and they may be better than him.
There are even more heavy equipment in hand. Zhong Chenggong is too impulsive, Wang Ping must find a way to stop him!"
"If something unexpected happens during the battle and the Japanese attack here, the equipment and supplies that have not been transported away from the military column will be snatched back by the Japanese. It is too risky and not cost-effective!"
Wang Ping said nothing, frowning and lost in thought.
I have to obey the commander's orders, but this is indeed a fighter opportunity in front of me.
If he were personally commanding the battle, he would definitely find a way to kill the Japanese in this mixed group. Even if the commander gave an order to retreat and defend, he would refuse.
Unfortunately, the person directing the battle now is not him, but the chief of staff.
Although the chief of staff has been with him for a long time, he has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge.
However, the commanding ability has always been the shortcoming of the chief of staff. To be honest, Wang Ping was full of worries when he was asked to command two companies to kill a mixed group of Japanese soldiers.
However, Wang Ping, who hesitated for nearly half a minute, finally decided to reject the commander's order.
"Commander, I believe in the Chief of Staff. If he thinks this battle can be fought, then he will definitely fight! And there is Jin Kai beside the Chief of Staff. With him assisting the Chief of Staff in directing the battle, there will definitely be no problems!"
The commander could hardly believe his ears.
He stared at Wang Ping with his big eyes and asked: "Zhong Chenggong is impulsive. Are you, the leader of the group, also impulsive?"
"The Japs are a mixed brigade, with nearly a thousand people. But we only have two companies at full strength, and our strength is less than 30% of the opponent's. How can we fight? It's too risky!"
"No risk~" Wang Ping replied firmly.
"Commander, please don't forget that the Chief of Staff still has three fire companies, a mortar company, and a heavy machine gun company. Although our military strength is not as good as that of the Japanese, our firepower is several times that of theirs. As long as we are fully prepared, we will definitely win.
Can kill them!"
Wang Ping's persistence made the commander realize that the new regiment was completely different from the fighting methods of other units of the Eighth Route Army.
He also hesitated for a moment and then affirmed: "Then fight according to your ideas, fight how you want, don't worry about me!"
After saying that, the commander was still worried and turned to the guard company commander beside him and ordered: "Captain Yang, take your people to the front to set up defenses! If the Japanese reinforcements come, no matter what the cost, they must be blocked by me.
them!"
As soon as the order was given, there was a burst of gunfire and explosions in the night not far away.
Wang Ping shouted with gleaming eyes: "The battle between the Chief of Staff and the Japanese mixed brigade must have begun!"
"The battlefield is not far from here. Commander, if you are worried, you can come with me and have a look!"
"If all the little Japs in a mixed group can be eliminated, the benefits it will bring to our new group will definitely be huge.
After walking for less than ten minutes, a correspondent rushed over.
The sound of gunfire, which was still violent just now, has become weaker and weaker without realizing it.
"Reporting to the captain, our ambush against the Japanese mixed brigade has begun!"
"The Japanese mixed brigade was divided into two. The chief of staff decided to divide his troops to block the Japanese forward troops and assemble the main force to encircle and suppress the Japanese follow-up troops. After defeating the follow-up troops, he will cooperate with the blocking troops to completely annihilate the Japanese forward troops!"
"Yes, this is a good method. First kill the Japs with heavy firepower, and then concentrate the superior troops and firepower to attack their infantry. Defeat them one by one. You can definitely kill the Japs mixed brigade at the minimum cost!" Wang Ping let out a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face.
