Chapter 725: Half a Telegraph! (Second Update!) )
The battlefield was so tragic, and he saw it all with his own eyes!
A shell smashed into a ravine dozens of meters away, and after the explosion, a large area within a range of more than 20 meters around the impact point instantly disappeared, and the sound of gunfire and the screams of soldiers all disappeared completely!
He could see clearly just now that at least twenty of his subordinates were scattered and hidden there, and some people had already begun to raise their guns to fight back!
Now there is no movement all of a sudden, there are only two possibilities!
Either they're all blown up or they're blown unconscious!
Judging by the power of the explosion, the former is more likely!
A single artillery shell reimbursed more than 20 of his subordinates, and as far as the eye could see, there were almost 30 thick columns of white smoke rising from the battlefield stretching for several hundred meters, and they were all scattered on both sides of the road, does it mean that he suffered more than half of the casualties without even seeing the shadow of the enemy......
The captain didn't dare to think about it!
shouted to the subordinates who were also stunned next to him: "What are you doing in a daze!" ”
"Send a telegram to the county immediately, we have been ambushed by the enemy, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and we are organizing troops to break through and request air support!"
"Also, tell the commander that the enemy who ambushed us has at least two battalions, and that they are armed with a large number of heavy artillery!"
The operator quickly took out the radio on his back, put it on the ground and began to send a telegram!
The captain continued to order, "Didn't you hear my order just now? Quickly organize troops to break through and break through from behind in the direction of the county seat! ””
"The enemy who attacked us with heavy artillery continued to defend this place, and before the planes could reinforce us, we were all killed by shells!"
"Immediately break through and retreat, withdraw the range of heavy artillery, we have a way to live!"
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......"
The second round of explosions sounded, and the captain was very lucky, screams and explosions kept ringing in his ears, but there were just no shells falling around him!
Suddenly, a huge disc-shaped explosive bag suddenly came into view, rolling in the air and smashing at him!
The captain was stunned!
This is certainly not a shell!
In his military career, he had never seen a shell of this shape!
And the explosives pack flies so slowly that you can see it clearly with your eyes!
The explosives bag flew closer and closer, and soon, a touch of despair quickly appeared on the face!
Because he saw the white smoke coming out of the dynamite pack!
"Eight grid tooth road, it's an explosive bag, everyone is hiding ......," the captain shouted, and then subconsciously threw himself on the ground, his mind blank!
He couldn't understand how such a large bag of explosives was thrown into the sky by the Eighth Route Army, and then flew over a few hundred meters to his head!
"Boom ......"
He never had a chance to figure it out, the explosion sounded quickly, and the point of impact was only ten meters away from the captain!
A powerful shockwave storm swept through everyone and everything around them as quickly as possible, and the captain was no exception!
I only heard an explosion like thunder, and then my whole body was covered by the pain of the heart, and I lost consciousness!
It was a severe pain that quickly spread throughout the body after the internal organs were shattered by the shock wave!
Many people were shocked to death before they could feel it, and they fell to the ground bleeding!
The operator is no exception!
The moment the explosion sounded, I subconsciously pounced on the radio station, wanting to protect it!
But the shock wave was too powerful, blowing him up directly from the ground, and then slammed into a stone next to him, and there was no sound!
The atmosphere in the telecommunications room of the Japanese garrison headquarters in Laiyuan City is very tense!
The operator kept pressing the button on the radio to transmit the signal, trying to call the sortie unit that had just cut off contact, but no matter how much he called, there was no response!
"Eight Geyalu, haven't you been able to contact them yet? How did the signal suddenly go out! The chief of staff stood behind him and asked anxiously!
After the attacking troops left Laiyuan City, the chief of staff was here!
The original idea was to report to the commander the news of the total annihilation of the Eighth Route Army by the attacking troops as soon as possible!
But I didn't expect an accident in the middle!
According to the normal marching speed, it will take nearly an hour for the attacking troops to reach Gongqiao Village, and it will take two hours after the battle to find out that the troops are now on the march, and unless there is an accident, they will never stop to send a telegram to the county seat!
Therefore, when he heard the operator say that the other party was an attacking force, a very bad premonition appeared in the chief of staff's mind!
Sure enough, halfway through the telegram, the signal was interrupted!
No matter how the operator called, there was no response!
The bad premonition in the chief of staff's mind is even stronger!
Without any new information, the half of the telegram that the operator had already received became the only basis for the chief of staff to know about the situation on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, the chief of staff immediately shifted his gaze to the communications staff officer who was translating the message next to him!
"Sir, the telegram has been translated, it's a telegram from the attacking force asking for help!"
"They were suddenly ambushed by the enemy on the march, the troops suffered heavy losses, and they are organizing forces to break through the encirclement......"
Speaking of which, the communications staff stopped!
The chief of staff's first reaction was that he had heard it wrong!
Although I already had a bad premonition in my head, I didn't expect the situation to be so bad!
The total strength of the sortie force is more than 800 people, and there are three squadrons of infantry alone, even if you encounter a regiment of the Chinese army, you can easily repel it!
But not only did they not defeat their opponents, but they suffered heavy casualties, and they had already begun to break through!
The chief of staff knows the commander of the sortie unit very well, he is very arrogant, and he will definitely not choose the road of breakthrough and retreat unless he has to!
Now that this situation has appeared, there is only one possibility, and the attack force has really reached a critical juncture of life and death!
But how long has it been!
If the troops are ambushed, the attacking troops will report at the beginning!
But the headquarters did not receive the report, and it came up with a telegram asking for help!
It shows that the ambush did not start for a long time, and the situation was so bad in a short period of time that the commander did not even have time to report!
And the Eighth Route Army, which killed Gongqiao Village, obviously did not have this strength.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has sent troops here again!
The idea popped into the head of the chief of staff!
But as soon as this idea appeared, he rejected it!
The territory is full of Chinese who work for the imperial army, they are all the eyes of the imperial army, and they work for the imperial army! If there is a large-scale entry of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible for these local snakes to have no news at all!
The chief of staff doesn't understand!
He needs more intelligence so he can make more accurate judgments!
Keeping an eye on the communications staff officer, he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The communications staff officer shook his head and replied: "No, the telegram is only half received, and that's all there is to it!" ”
The chief of staff was furious and scolded: "Eight grid tooth road, the signal is continuous in the morning and in the evening, but it is interrupted when the telegram is received halfway, isn't this Chengxin against the imperial army?" There is only half a telegram here, and there is almost nothing of value, how do you ask me to report to the commander! ”
