"Sir, there are not many imperial troops left on the battlefield. The Imperial Army surrendered when they saw the Eighth Route Army. They have no courage to resist at all... What should we do?" The adjutant standing next to the squadron leader held a pistol and killed a man who wanted to rush.
The Eighth Route Army came over and asked anxiously.
"We will definitely not be able to retreat, and if we issue a retreat order now, we will die faster!" The desperate squadron leader still maintained his rationality.
Then he quickly made a decision: "Let's fight, retreating will lead to death anyway, why not fight to the death here, kill more Eighth Route Army soldiers and bury them with us..."
"Contact the brigade commander immediately and fire on the position immediately. We will die together with the Eighth Route Army on the position. Order the troops to fight to the end, drag the Eighth Route Army here, and wait for the main force to fire and kill them..."
The new regiment was in front of the enemy headquarters. Wang Ping was very satisfied with the performance of the guard company on the battlefield.
First, paralyze the little Japs, and then attack suddenly at the critical moment, using your own firepower advantage to severely damage and kill the opponent.
Seeing that the guard company was already fighting with the Japanese attacking troops, Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
He knows the equipment level of the guard company best. If he can't kill the opponent in a short period of time when fighting with the same strength at close range, Wang Ping will definitely change the commander of the guard company and withdraw from Hong Rui's army as soon as the battle is over.
Position~
However, Wang Ping did not put down the telescope and look away.
Instead, he turned his attention to the main force of the Japs, and then ordered: "Chief of Staff, order the artillery to determine the location of the Japs' mortar positions and fire immediately. Each gun fired three times rapidly, and then retreated quickly."
"Tell them to spread out the artillery positions. There are Japanese planes cruising above us. We must be supporting the battlefield now. Don't let the planes take the blame!"
When the chief of staff went to give the order, Commander Chen next to him frowned and asked: "Wang Ping, take the initiative to attack the Japs artillery positions at the risk of exposing the artillery and being bombed by Japs planes. Are you worried that the Japs will attack our third party?"
The defense line will be covered with artillery fire, and the enemy and we will explode together!"
"Yes, Commander!" Wang Ping didn't hide anything.
Then he explained: "The leader of the Little Japanese Brigade is very ruthless. In order to win, he will definitely blow up his own people. We are preemptive. Although we may lose one or two mortar platoons, as long as we can kill the guard company
Casualties are reduced but minimal, absolutely cost-effective!”
After speaking, Wang Ping introduced how Major General Kawaguchi forced the common people to step on landmines, forced the puppet troops to step on landmines, and even bombed his own people, and then did not forget to add.
"In order to get rid of this ruthless little Japanese brigade leader who treats us Chinese as human beings and minimize his damage to our base areas. Before the battle started, I gave Li Wen a special order. If possible, directly
Send out snipers and commandos to kill him!"
The deputy chief of staff supported: "You did the right thing!"
"When you encounter such a little devil, the only way to solve the problem is to kill him. There are also several such devil commanders in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. As long as our troops are not found on the battlefield, they will vent their anger on ordinary people. What kind of massacre?
They rape women in villages, burn houses, rob, etc. They do all kinds of evil!"
"Our base area, wherever they have been, will definitely be burned to rubble, and the people will be slaughtered..."
"The boss got angry several times because of these Japanese devils, and even gave them an order not to take any prisoners!"
"So, once we encounter such Japanese commanders on the battlefield, we must kill them as soon as possible. If they are allowed to penetrate deep into our base area, it will definitely be an unprecedented catastrophe for the base area!"
Wang Ping quickly replied: "Please rest assured, chief, I have already issued the order to kill him. I believe that Li Wen from the direct team has already begun to deploy and look for opportunities!"
"And even if he breaks into our base area, he will only burn down the houses at most. I have asked the political commissar to clear out all the villages on both sides of the base area. All the people who can be evacuated from Xiangfen County have also been evacuated. There will definitely not be a large number of people massacred by the little devils.
occur!"
Major General Kawaguchi's mood was very complicated at this time. He was very disappointed when he did not encounter the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops.
However, after the Eighth Route Army blocking troops appeared, he couldn't be happy again.
A squadron of imperial troops and a company of puppet troops fought with the Eighth Route Army. With Major General Kawaguchi's current understanding of his opponents, the new regiment would definitely not fight an unprepared battle.
Since this close contact battle was premeditated by the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army fighting on the battlefield must be equipped with a large number of automatic weapons aimed at assassinating the imperial army.
In the face of automatic weapons, no matter how powerful the imperial army's bayonets are, they are no match for the opponent's bullets.
The gunshots that continued to ring out on the battlefield also proved his judgment. Therefore, the moment the gunfire rang out on the battlefield, Major General Kawaguchi had a very bad premonition in his mind, and he was full of worries about the attacking troops.
If an infantry squadron was lost in order to prove his judgment, Major General Kawaguchi would not accept it from the bottom of his heart.
"General, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They hid in anti-artillery fortifications and suddenly came out, equipped with a large number of automatic weapons. The attacking troops will definitely not be able to hold out for long..." A second lieutenant rushed over and reported.
"General, I will immediately mobilize troops to reinforce the battlefield..." The chief of staff responded quickly and answered directly.
"No need..." Major General Kawaguchi's reaction was faster!
First there was a fierce expression on his face, and then he ordered decisively: "Sending troops over now is just to add fuel to the fire, and our losses will be even greater... Directly use artillery, order the artillery, cover the battlefield with artillery fire, and kill the Eighth Route Army on the position!"
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, another second lieutenant rushed over: "General, the offensive troops can no longer withstand it. They asked the artillery to fire directly and let the Eighth Route Army on the position be buried with them. They will fight to the death to hold back the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yoshi, this is the real warrior. For the sake of the overall situation, he is willing to sacrifice his own life!" The worry on Major General Kawaguchi's face suddenly disappeared.
If we can kill the Eighth Route Army on the position, losing an infantry squadron is not a bad idea.
He frowned and ordered: "What are you still doing? Immediately order the artillery to fire..."
The mortar can be put into battle quickly, has a fast rate of fire and high shooting accuracy. It has undoubtedly become the chief of staff's first choice for artillery positions.
More than a hundred gunners gathered around more than twenty mortars, adjusting the firing elements and loading fuses on the shells in an orderly manner.
Just when they gave up the test firing and prepared to shoot directly, the scream of the shells streaking across the sky suddenly reached their ears, getting closer and closer.
"Baga, it's an artillery attack. We are locked by the enemy... Hurry and take cover..." the Japanese gunner who reacted quickly cried out.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as they lay on the ground, before they finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded in their ears, deafening!
Major General Kawaguchi was also frightened by the explosion from behind, but he reacted quickly and immediately ordered: "Let the mountain artillery fire. The Eighth Route Army only has mortars and cannot hit our mountain artillery position!"
"Let them fire and cover the entire battlefield with artillery fire!"
"Contact the aviation force, find the Eighth Route Army artillery positions, and kill them!"
