Wang Ping was stunned for a moment and shook his head and replied: "Chief, it would be good to have such an opportunity once. And after the kid was fooled once, he will definitely not be fooled a second time. Take the counterattack just now, if
If we hadn’t buried explosives in all the anti-gun fortifications in advance and killed most of the Japs’ troops in one explosion, this counterattack would definitely not have been so easy, and we might not have been able to win!”
"No... there's still a chance!" the commander suddenly interrupted.
"You have prepared a meeting gift for us. The chief of staff and I can't say nothing... The chief of staff and I have also brought you a meeting gift! With this meeting gift, the victory like just now will not be as good as yours Wang Ping
I can definitely bring out one or two more abilities!"
The chief of staff immediately reacted: "Yes... we also brought a meeting gift!"
"The brigade directly under the Taiyue Military Region was established by your commander a month or two ago and has not experienced any major battles. When I passed the military region, I asked your commander to bring this brigade over too!"
"The brigade commander directly under the brigade is your commander, and he will definitely not be directly involved in command. Today I will act arbitrarily and appoint you Wang Ping as the Xiangfen former enemy headquarters of the Taiyue Military Region to uniformly command the new regiment and the brigade directly under the military region.
There are also all the local troops in the four divisions fighting!"
"There are a total of 6,000 people in the directly affiliated brigade, and the equipment is provided by you. Although they have not experienced any war, more than 30% of the cadres and soldiers in it are old troops sent by several military divisions...I suddenly have more in my hands.
With so many troops, we should be able to teach the little devil one or two more profound lessons!"
Wang Ping was stunned for several seconds before staring at the commander and asking: "The direct brigade is really here!"
The commander affirmed: "It's coming. The commander and I will come faster. In order to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the little devils, they can only travel day and night. If we walk slower, we should be able to get here tomorrow night!"
"Great!" Wang Ping's face showed an excited smile from the bottom of his heart.
Then he assured with a confident face: "Please rest assured, chief, with the direct brigade, I will definitely make the little Japanese Major General Kawaguchi regret coming to attack our new regiment in such a hurry!"
Early the next morning, the aviation force dispatched three planes to the battlefield at the request of Major General Kawaguchi.
After the two planes dropped their bombs and returned, the remaining plane continued to hover over the battlefield, dispatching at any time to kill the Eighth Route Army artillery positions that might be exposed behind the position, and also to support the ground offensive troops.
Major General Kawaguchi, who had suppressed his anger, immediately ordered: "Artillery unit, five minutes of rapid artillery fire!"
"After the artillery is over, the infantry will attack. Tear the Eighth Route Army positions in front of me to pieces. Kill them and avenge the imperial army that was shattered last night!"
After hundreds of artillery shells were dropped, the Japanese's formal attack began.
The Japanese and puppet troops lined up as skirmishers and charged towards the position in a mighty manner.
There were more than twenty heavy machine guns, and their roaring sound never stopped from the beginning. The whizzing bullets flew past the attacking troops, creating an airtight net of bullets over the position.
Soon, the nearly 300 puppet troops rushed to a position 100 meters in front of the formation.
After yesterday afternoon's battle, the Japanese seemed to have figured out the Eighth Route Army's blocking methods.
The strengthened grenade hand stopped immediately, half-crouched on the ground, and skillfully set up the grenade, ready to kill the exposed machine gun fire points on the position at any time.
The rifleman's waist also bent deeper, holding the rifle tightly, staring at the position getting closer and closer, ready to fall to the ground at any time...
However, the gunfire they imagined did not sound.
Until they rushed fifty meters in front of the formation, many riflemen already had grenades in their hands, ready to throw them out at any time, but there was still no movement in the formation!
"Assault... cover with grenades, charge forward and seize the position!" the Japanese squadron leader ordered with a frown.
"Boom boom boom..."
More than a hundred grenades hit the position, and the explosion sounded like thunder in the position.
The vigilant Japanese soldiers no longer hesitated and rushed toward the smoke-filled battlefield with their rifles in hand like crazy.
Soon, a scene that made the Japanese both happy and angry appeared!
Inside the trenches, apart from the corpses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army left behind from the battle last night, there was not a single Eighth Route Army soldier. Not even a single Eighth Route Army corpse could be seen!
The attack went so smoothly that Major General Kawaguchi could hardly believe his eyes!
Didn’t the Eighth Route Army intend to hold on to the defense line they fought so hard to recapture last night, and simply give it up and return it to the Imperial Army? In this case, what was the purpose of the Eighth Route Army’s counterattack last night? Major General Kawaguchi frowned, not knowing what reason to use to explain what he saw
picture.
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, a series of explosions from the position interrupted Major General Kawaguchi's thoughts.
"The Eighth Route Army has not given up its position, they are still resisting..." This was Major General Kawaguchi's first thought.
Faced with this idea, Major General Kawaguchi not only did not show any expression of worry, but was actually very excited!
Because, once this judgment is established, the questions that just popped up in my mind will no longer be a problem.
More importantly, as long as the Eighth Route Army remains on the ground, the goal of consuming a large number of the Eighth Route Army through the daytime attack can be achieved, and the promise made yesterday can be fulfilled: through the attack in front of you, you can avenge the troops that were shattered last night!
However, in less than a minute, this idea was shattered by the report from the attacking troops!
"General, there are no Eighth Route Army troops on the position, not even a single Eighth Route Army corpse, they are all corpses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Associated Army!"
"Nani?" Major General Kawaguchi was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Then he asked with confusion: "What happened to the explosion just now?"
"It's a landmine. We encountered a mine buried by the Eighth Route Army on the position, but the casualties were not great. We only lost six people!" the ordering soldier replied quickly.
Then he continued to report without waiting for Major General Kawaguchi to speak.
"Our captain asked for instructions whether the troops should continue to attack... We judge that the Eighth Route Army must have decided to abandon its position and not fight a positional battle with us in order to avoid the heavy casualties caused by our aviation and heavy artillery troops!
From the perspective of the messenger, it was definitely a happy thing that the troops easily captured the position without the Eighth Route Army on the position. But Major General Kawaguchi didn't think so.
Without the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield, his dream of revenge was shattered. More importantly, the firepower he prepared with great fanfare for the new regiment turned into a waste of ammunition, hitting the cotton with one punch.
In a word, Major General Kawaguchi felt that he had been tricked by the Eighth Route Army.
Just when he was sullen and did not answer, the orderer spoke again: "General, do you want to continue the attack? Please give me the order!"
"Baga, I know how to give orders, I don't need you to remind me... I'm worried that this may be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army!" Major General Kawaguchi, who didn't want to be slapped in the face, thought of a euphemistic explanation!
