Chapter 168: Pursuing Victory

"Go and give the order! Bagaya Road, our 6th Infantry Wing is an elite unit, and we must give me the first wave to take the enemy's blocking position, quickly. ”

Takeo Sato gritted his teeth and roared, even if the enemy firepower is very strong.

At this time, turning around and retreating can only be chased by the opponent's firepower, and the casualties are even greater.

Only by advancing bravely and rushing into the opponent's blocking position and fighting together, the opponent's fire coverage will lose most of its effect!

Seeing that Takeo Sato was resolute and abnormal, and Takaichi Kataki, who also knew the situation on the battlefield, smiled bitterly and said heavily: "Hai, co-captain!" ”。

Immediately, Koichi Kataki hurriedly sent someone to order the three Japanese infantry brigades belonging to the wing responsible for the simultaneous attack to continue the attack and not to retreat without authorization.

At this time, the fire of the first battalion covered the three Japanese infantry brigades that had already fought the attack, and suffered heavy casualties. Especially on the path in the forest, the artillery exploded, and many forest giant trees fell by the shells, killing many devil soldiers.

Especially in the dense forest trees, a shell exploded, and the dense rain of bullets exacerbated the casualties of the Japanese soldiers.

There were already signs of retreat from the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Wing, which was in charge of the attack on the left, but then came the order for Takeo Sato to continue the onslaught.

As a last resort, the three infantry battalions of the Japanese army in charge of the assault continued to attack fiercely, braving the blocking fire of a battalion and the artillery fire of Wang Chengzhu to continue to attack and advance.

The Japanese artillery, which was responsible for artillery cover, also concentrated all nine infantry guns and other mortars, grenadiers and other infantry artillery support weapons belonging to the brigade and regiment to suppress the artillery fire of the first battalion.

"Da !!Da Da

"Boom, boom!!"

.......

The sound of gunfire rang out violently in front of the battalion's own position, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

In front of the soldiers of the first battalion, the dense little devils braved their own fierce artillery fire and firepower, and rushed over with Type 38 rifles.

"Damn, the little devil is really desperate to charge! Order the heavy machine guns to come forward, open fire, and block them! Let Wang Chengzhu's artillery unit suppress the artillery bombardment of the little devils for me, hurry up! ”

In the command headquarters of the temporary blocking position of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao saw through the telescope that the charge of the attacking Japanese army on the opposite side was very fierce, and at least three little devil infantry brigades attacked together, which was to break through the blocking position of the first battalion in one bite!

"Understood, battalion commander!" The heralds had already departed, and then hurried away.

At this time, the devils of the 6th Infantry Wing, which was responsible for storming the blocking position of the first battalion, were still continuing to attack.

But it has to be said that according to the blocking position of the first battalion, the first battalion used a triangular defensive position, with the two wings protruding and the middle concave.

After the 6th Infantry Wing concentrated three infantry brigades on the left, center, and right to simultaneously attack the position of the 1st Battalion, Zhang Dabiao quickly adjusted the intensity of the counterattack fire.

With the reinforcement of the firepower on both flanks and the slightly weaker blocking fire in the middle, the Japanese army was attracted to concentrate their forces to attack in the direction of the blocking position of the first battalion in the middle.

And when the little devil had most of the elite infantry from the middle, the fire on both flanks immediately carried out cross-fire and blockade, and devoured the Japanese troops who stormed the blocking position in the middle.

This hand made Takeo Sato stunned and shocked when he watched it in his temporary headquarters!

"Bagaya Road, the enemy commander is a veteran! Which of Li Yunlong's troops was the commander of the first line of defense to block the attack? ”

Takeo Sato frowned at it, and then asked Koichi Kataki, the chief of staff of the wing on the side.

Takaichi Kataki said in a condensed voice: "According to the observation of the humble position, I am afraid that it is the main battalion of the new regiment, and its battalion commander is Zhang Dabiao, this person is a general under Li Yunlong, who is good at positional defensive warfare. In the past, the elite of the empire suffered heavy casualties, and it was all fought by this person's troops! Your Excellency, Wing Commander, not to be underestimated. ”。

"That's nature! Damn, the enemy commander was able to hold us back with 2,000 men, and the troops that claimed to be still a battalion were already the strength of a regiment! It seems that the strength of the new regiment has expanded very much! ”

Takeo Sato's eyes were solemn, and the current troops of the new regiment caused the 3rd Division to vomit blood.

Once Li Yunlong expands by one or two thousand, won't the empire have to mobilize at least five or six divisions to be able to deal with the headquarters of the new regiment? Thinking about it, Takeo Sato felt that no matter what, Li Yunlong had to be dealt with.

"Order the attacking troops at the front, continue the attack. Chief of Staff, put 800 people from the reserve unit of the wing into it to strengthen the attack force! Hurry up and drop! ”

Koichi Katagi exclaimed in a low voice, "Captain, you don't have to! Pull up the reserves, and we'll be a little empty here! ”。

"What's the use of keeping reserves? What's more, this is all from the rear of my attack troops, would Li Yunlong dare to send troops to make a detour? What's more, not far behind them is the 68th Wing, and there are more than 6,000 imperial troops in the formation. Execute the order! If we can't break through the first line of blocking positions of the new regiment in front of us, the honor of our 6th Wing will be severely humiliated by the other side. ”

Takeo Sato waved his hand and said with a gloomy face, it is useless to keep more than eight hundred reserves at this time.

The fierce battle in front of him has been going on for about five minutes, and he was blocked by the other party, and he killed and injured many soldiers under his command, and Sato Takeo was already impatient.

It is necessary to concentrate forces and fight a quick battle, so as not to get into trouble if we engage in tactics of adding fuel.

"Hai, Your Excellency Wing Commander, obey your orders!"

Seeing that Takeo Sato was resolute, Koichi Kataki paused helplessly, and then immediately sent someone to order the mobilization of reserves to strengthen the offensive.

However, at this time, the resistance of the first battalion was also very difficult.

It has to be said that the fierce offensive of the three infantry brigades belonging to Takeo Sato's wing still had a certain effect.

Many blocking positions were captured by the little devils, although a battalion of reserve troops was sent up to reinforce and recapture the lost positions.

However, the blocking position was simultaneously attacked by devils on the entire front, and more than 3,000 Japanese troops fought against the blocking position held by more than 2,000 soldiers, which was also very stressful.

"Battalion commander, you see, the little devil has sent out a reserve! There are quite a few of them! In the headquarters of the temporary blocking position of the first battalion, a battalion headquarters staff officer pointed ahead and shouted to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao immediately picked up the telescope and looked forward, and after the telescope, a force of at least seven or eight hundred troops rushed towards the rear of the little devil's attack force, and there were quite a few light and heavy machine gun weapons, and it seemed that the devil commander had taken out the troops at the bottom of the box.

"Order all units to withdraw from their positions in two minutes and move closer to the blocking position of the second battalion!" Zhang Dabiao sneered and said.

The staff officer of the first battalion headquarters replied: 'Yes, battalion commander! ’。

Two minutes later, under the sight of the old devil Takeo Sato, the infantry urgently withdrew from the blocking position after the first battalion was covered by artillery fire and moved closer to the blocking position of the second battalion in the rear.

Sato Takeo was overjoyed, thinking that the first battalion could not withstand it, and immediately ordered the three Japanese infantry brigades of the 6th Infantry Wing, which were responsible for the strong attack, to pursue the victory.

It is necessary to take advantage of the "rout" of the first battalion to break through the defenses of the new regiment blocking position behind it in one fell swoop.
