At this moment, the communications staff officer who had just left not long ago rushed in with a very ugly look on his face.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the war room, it was a bit frighteningly cold, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
After hesitating for several seconds, he carefully considered his tone and reported: "Sir, the connection between us and the Eighth Route Army was cut off by the Eighth Route Army!"
"An infantry squad that was patrolling around the station just now was preparing to reinforce the battlefield, but was stopped by this Eighth Route Army and was completely wiped out!"
"This Eighth Route Army only has the strength of more than one company, but with strong firepower and few reinforcements, it is impossible to break through their interception!"
Major General Kawaguchi finally believed the second lieutenant's report just now, strode to the map and ordered: "Order the artillery to prepare to fire and reinforce the defenders on the position!"
"Chief of Staff, you immediately organize an infantry brigade to reinforce the battlefield. The three lines of defense that were captured yesterday at the cost of heavy casualties must not be recaptured by the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, six to seven hundred of our Imperial Army soldiers will die!"
"Hi!"
Just as the chief of staff was about to rush out, the communications staff said hurriedly: "General, it's useless. The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops have already entered the battlefield and are fighting bayonets with the remaining soldiers. There is no way to provide artillery cover for the battlefield!"
"Fighting with a bayonet..."
Upon hearing these three words, Major General Kawaguchi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a very bad premonition.
"It's over..."
"If it were other Eighth Route Army troops, we would definitely win in a bayonet fight... Even if we can't win, we can still cause a lot of casualties to the opponent. It's not too late to send reinforcements to join the battle. But the opponent is a new group, which is both cunning and cunning.
The new group doesn't follow the rules, even if we send people to kill them now, without troops to intercept, there won't be enough time!"
The chief of staff agreed: "Yes, general, the Eighth Route Army is too unruly and uses a large number of automatic weapons in hand-to-hand combat. No matter how elite the imperial army is, it cannot be its opponent... Sir, what should we do next?"
"The defense line is no longer needed..." Major General Kawaguchi made the decision with great determination!
"After daybreak, we will wait for the aviation troops to arrive and then retake the position and directly attack their base. Fighting at night, the advantage lies with the Eighth Route Army. If we fight for these three lines of defense, the losses will be too great and it is not cost-effective. It is better to fight tomorrow
Restart the attack under the cover of aviation!"
"Order the troops to stay stationed and strengthen their vigilance. As long as the Eighth Route Army does not attack us, we will ignore them..."
A battalion captain asked with a look of reluctance: "Then the infantry brigade we deployed on the position was lost in vain?"
"Their sacrifices will not be in vain..." Major General Kawaguchi replied with an expression of gritted teeth.
"I believe that before they died, they must have caused a large number of casualties to the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops... When daybreak, we will avenge them and kill the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us now!"
In the former enemy headquarters of the New Regiment, Commander Chen and the Deputy Chief of Staff had been staring at the battlefield with binoculars since the beginning of the battle, motionless.
But the expressions on their faces changed.
Both of them looked shocked, with their mouths open, almost big enough to fit an egg in.
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, Captain Hong of the guard company reported that they had occupied the first line of defense and also wiped out an infantry squad that rushed towards the Japanese station. However, their main force only attacked for less than ten minutes before retreating...
"
"The head of the regiment...the direct team sent a telegram: Except for detaching some troops to strengthen the security, there is no movement at the Japanese station. It seems that they are planning to abandon the fortification group we are counterattacking!"
"It's not a plan...it's a certainty!" Wang Ping replied.
"The leader of the Japs Brigade is too cunning. He knew that he would be at a disadvantage by fighting us all night, and then he took the initiative to abandon the three lines of defense!"
Zhong Chenggong could hardly believe his ears. He stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Captain, what do you mean, the little devil has given up..."
"It's not about admitting defeat, it's about retreating temporarily. If I were the leader of the Little Japanese Brigade, I would do the same thing!"
"After daybreak, they need artillery and artillery, and aircraft and aircraft. Under the cover of heavy artillery and aircraft, the price they pay to re-attack these three lines of defense will definitely be smaller than fighting us tonight, and it will be much smaller!"
The deputy chief of staff suddenly said: "Your commander is right. The commander of the Little Japanese Brigade is very smart. He can see the pros and cons at a glance, and then make the decision to abandon the position!"
"I don't know if it will be good or bad for your new group if you encounter such an opponent!"
After saying that, Commander Chen also put down the telescope.
At this time, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield had gradually become sparse, and he said to Wang Ping: "No matter how difficult and powerful the leader of the Little Japanese Brigade is, he will still suffer in front of you, Wang Ping!"
"Chief of Staff, I have witnessed today that under the nose of the main force of the Japs, they suddenly launched an attack. In less than half an hour, they killed one of their infantry brigade after another of the pseudo-legions, and even beat the Japs to the point where they gave up their positions. No.
You dare to send troops for reinforcements! Based on this alone, you, Wang Ping, are more powerful than the commander of the Little Japanese Brigade!"
"I thought about it, this is a meeting gift from the New Regiment to you, Chief of Staff!"
When the new battalion commander Jin Kai rushed into the headquarters, the battle had been over for almost half an hour.
Neither Commander Chen nor the Deputy Chief of Staff left. They were waiting for the final result.
"Captain, commander, the results of the battle have been calculated..."
"Because many Japanese corpses were blown to pieces on the battlefield, it is difficult to make statistics, so we only made a rough calculation!"
"After statistics, including the complete annihilation of an infantry squad by the guard company, we killed more than 900 Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet soldiers. More than 700 puppet soldiers among them became our prisoners. All the Japanese soldiers were wiped out!"
"In addition, according to the reports of the captured puppet troops, these little devils who were eliminated were veterans brought by their brigade commander from the front line. Killing so many of their veterans in one night would definitely be an unprecedented victory!"
"In terms of seizures, almost all the equipment of a puppet regiment was seized. A little less of the Japanese equipment was destroyed. However, the heavy weapons were basically retained, including six mortars, seven heavy machine guns, and ten light machine guns.
Eight, 15 grenades, and a lot of ammunition, because there are too many, they are still being counted!"
"Also, in the entire battle, the new battalion lost a total of 186 people, 152 people were directly killed, and all others were lightly or seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"
"The guard company lost 52 people and 31 people were killed!"
"Good fight..." the deputy chief of staff shouted with excitement.
"Wang Ping, you prepared this meeting gift very well. If possible, I really want to ask for two more such meeting gifts, so that all the Japanese who attack you will be defeated!"
