Chapter 907: The Enemy Turns Offensive to Defensive!
Li Hong had exchanged fire with the 106th Division many times, and he was very clear about the true combat effectiveness of the 106th Division.
thought that the powerful weapons and firepower of the security regiment, if the security regiment blocked the retreat of the 106th Division, the little devil would not be able to break through at all.
However, even the elite troops of the national army are far inferior to the weapons and equipment of the devils, so it is not safe to block the retreat of the Japanese army with only one army.
When it was dawn tomorrow, the enemy sent bombers to support, and the 106th Division of the Devils, with the cooperation of the aircraft, was very likely to tear a breakthrough from the blockade line.
Thinking of this, in order to block the road of the 106th Division, Li Hong proposed to Xue Boling that multiple factions should blockade it.
"Chief Xue, I have a suggestion."
"If you have any tactical suggestions, just bring them up."
Xue Boling admired Li Hong very much, and he was willing to listen to any suggestions from Li Hong.
Li Hong turned around and said to all the officers: "Commanders, it's night, the battlefield situation is not favorable to the little devils, use one army to block the retreat of the 106th Division of the devils, and the enemy may not be able to make any big waves." ”
"It's just that tomorrow, as soon as the Japanese reinforcements come and there is the support of the aircraft, then the battlefield situation will be more favorable to the enemy, and the situation of the 106th Devil Division being surrounded will be reversed at any time......"
Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin agreed with Li Hong's analysis of the battlefield situation above, and he said: "Chief Xue, Commander Li's analysis is very correct, and it is true that the Japanese army cannot be left with any opportunity to exploit loopholes, and we must completely cut off the enemy's rear road!" ”
Xue Boling was very confident in annihilating the Japanese 106th Division, and he transferred another division from other units to intercept and blockade the little devils.
……
The gunfire in the mountainous area of Wanjialing intensified, and all units of the 106th Division of the Japanese army were attacked.
Ichitaro Miura and the staff officers communicated with each other in the headquarters, directing the front-line troops to fight, and telegrams and telephone calls were sent continuously.
The officers and men of the Devil's Communications Department hurriedly flew up with telegrams in their hands, and the headquarters was noisy, not like the headquarters at all, but like a vegetable market.
"Report to the commander of the division, the vanguard has organized four breakthrough attacks, and several times it has torn open the breach, but it has been beaten back by the tenacious Chinese army, and the vanguard has suffered many casualties, even the captain of the Yamamoto wing has been broken in the battle......"
"Bagaya Road, damn the Chinese Army, they want to destroy our 106th Division, it's just wishful thinking!"
Miura, the old devil, was furious at the headquarters, and he ordered the troops to organize many breakthroughs, but the little devil suffered heavy casualties and was still unable to break through the blockade.
At this time, Miura Kaitaro was so anxious that he was about to talk nonsense, he was absolutely impossible to sit still, and quickly thought about how to save the 106th Division.
"Everyone, at present, our division has been completely surrounded by the Chinese army, do you all have any methods or suggestions that can help the division and regiment resolve the crisis?" Kazutaro Miura eagerly asked the subordinates next to him.
The devil officers discussed for a while, and they gave their own suggestions and opinions one after another.
"Division commander, I suggest that we reorganize our forces and wait until midnight for us to break through, so that we may be able to break through the blockade line of the Chinese army."
"That's right, we'll attack in the middle of the night." The devil officers were all in favor of organizing troops to break through again.
The chief of staff of the devil thought for a long time and said: "Everyone, the vanguard troops have caused a lot of casualties due to repeated breakthroughs, and the morale of the officers and soldiers is low and very tired. ”
"I suggest that the vanguard force switch from offensive to defensive, accumulate strength to preserve combat effectiveness, and wait until tomorrow morning when our planes are reinforced, and then we will reorganize our forces to attack and break through at one point."
After listening to the chief of staff's suggestion, Ichitaro Miura nodded slightly.
"Yo Xi, it's still the chief of staff who thinks about it thoroughly."
Instead, Miura Kaitaro ordered the Devil's Communication Department: "Order the vanguard to switch from attack to defense, and the rest of the departments will also be on the defensive, and they will not attack without authorization, and wait until tomorrow morning to break through!" ”
"Ha Yi !!"
The Devil's Communications Department immediately sent electricity to all combat units on the front line.
Subsequently, the various units of the 106th Division of the Devil received an order notification.
The 106th Division began to shrink its forces, and they built various firepower fortifications and defensive positions according to the favorable terrain around them to defend.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Tutu Tu Tu !! Tu
The sound of gunfire continued, and the shells fell from time to time, flashing with explosive fire.
After the little devils changed their tactics, they all stuck to their positions, and the enemy continued to exchange fire with the attacking national troops according to the positional defense.
In such a disadvantageous situation, it is a wise tactic for the enemy to switch from attack to defense, which can effectively reduce the casualties of his own troops.
The officers and men of the devil have undergone strict military training, and the enemy is not only good at attacking, but also has a good defensive ability.
After the devil troops went on the defensive, the situation on the battlefield changed subtly.
The officers and soldiers of the country are the attackers, and the little devils have become the defenders, and the situation is indeed more favorable to the little devils.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the national army are inferior to the little devils, and the casualties of the little devils who attack and defend will increase several times.
More than 100,000 Nationalist troops surrounded the 106th Devil's Division in the outlying positions of Wanjialing, and nearly 50,000 Nationalist troops were tasked with the main attack.
Although the number of attackers of the national army was several times that of the little devils, it was just that the attackers suffered very much, and the offensive of the national army did not play a big role.
The officers and men of the national army attacked from the left and right flanks where the enemy's defensive positions were weakest, and every attack of the national army was an attack with regiments and brigades as an formation, and as a result, several attacks were repulsed by the little devils.
"The soldiers are charging again, send ammunition quickly, send ammunition quickly!!"
"Damn the soldiers, don't be afraid of death, rush up!!"
"Imperial soldiers, attack!! Destroy all the soldiers who rushed up, and give the duck and chicken to the !! ”
The little devils set up tight firing points, and when the national army attacked them, they opened fire, and when the national army withdrew, they ceasefired.
The little devils have plenty of ammunition and strong firepower, and they are not afraid of repeated attacks by the soldiers of the national army.
Not long after the soldiers of the national army were repulsed, they organized their forces to attack again, and they adopted the tactics of crowds to attack and charge without interruption.
Constantly launching attacks can indeed put pressure on the little devils, but the casualties of such a crowd tactic are too great.
……
After the national army failed to attack many times, Xue Boling scolded angrily.
"Damn, these Japanese miscellaneous are really cunning enough, and they actually started a defensive war!" After Xue Boling scolded a few times, the commander of the front-line combat unit called.
