Chapter 801: Suffering a Loss (Second Update!) )
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
This phrase is the most appropriate way to describe the attacking troops of the garrison regiment.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the battlefield fell silent.
If it weren't for the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood in the air, and the battlefield full of craters and corpses, no one would have imagined that a fierce offensive and defensive battle had just broken out here.
The leader of the devil squadron was also blinded in the face of this accident.
At the critical moment of closing the net, the boiled duck actually flew.
No matter who puts this on it, I can't accept it.
Not to mention themselves, in order to hold them back, the stronghold garrison has already lost more than half.
Now that the ducks have flown away, it directly means that all the losses of the stronghold just now have been lost.
The squadron leader was very unwilling, and immediately shouted: "The troops that can still move will be assembled immediately, and we will kill them and drag them down." ”
"Think twice, sir!" The second lieutenant hurriedly persuaded.
"No one knows if the Eighth Route Army really retreated, if this was their conspiracy, deliberately stopped the attack, and arranged a pocket array outside the stronghold. If we kill them now, won't we hit them in the wound and throw ourselves into the net? ”
The squadron leader's brows furrowed even deeper, and he replied with a long sigh: "It's really possible." ”
"Order the troops to strengthen their vigilance and strictly defend them."
"When our mobile troops come to reinforce us, we'll know if they're really retreating."
The main force of the third company and the squadron of the district that cooperated with the operation did retreat, and under the guidance of the guerrillas, they quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
However, the most elite platoon of the third company did not withdraw.
Blocked at the door of the stronghold, if someone takes the opportunity to kill them, even if they can't wrap dumplings, they can be caught off guard, and dozens of devils will be killed before leaving.
The cautious reminder of the team leader invisibly reduced the stronghold by losing dozens of elites.
By the time the first mobile unit hurried to the battlefield with a cartload of corpses and a cart of wounded men harassed by the guerrillas along the way, the attacking troops had disappeared without a trace, and not even a single corpse was to be seen.
The Japanese army was independently formed into a brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander Nakata Yama Lang did not continue to sleep.
He had to wait in the war room for news, and the first time he saw the good news that the troops had eliminated the garrison.
Holding on until one o'clock in the morning, the communications staff officer finally appeared, but his face was not as good as expected.
Nakata Shanlang chuckled in his heart, and a hint of bad premonition appeared, but he still asked calmly: "Is there news from the front?" ”
"Hey!"
The communications staff officer reported as he handed the telegram to the chief of staff.
"The Eighth Route Army attacking us was too cunning, and the mobile troops began to be intercepted and harassed by the guerrillas when they left the stronghold, and when they arrived at the battlefield, the garrison regiment attacking the stronghold had already retreated in advance, and the troops did not dare to rush into the guerrilla activity area for fear of being ambushed."
The chief of staff is well aware of the current mood of the brigade commander.
The military operation planned by himself finally ushered in a fighter plane, but in the end it failed.
For a man who had just taken office and was in dire need of military exploits to establish his authority, the blow was fatal.
Seeing that the brigade commander's face was becoming more and more solemn, his eyes were flushed, as if he could breathe fire, he hurriedly comforted: "The general is angry." ”
"Although the operation failed, we did not lose the stronghold, which is equivalent to a draw for us in this battle."
"As long as we sum up our experience and learn from our lessons, we will definitely win the battle in the future."
"Guerrillas, this time it's their bad things for me again." Nakata Yamaro slammed his fist on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and cursed.
He had already seen the crux of the failure of this operation, and analyzed it with a calm face.
"They must have used guerrilla warfare to harass and intercept our reinforcements, slowing us down. Then we sent a message to the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold and told them to retreat in advance, so our reinforcements were empty. ”
The chief of staff immediately asked, "Sir, what should we do next?" ”
"You can't be so passive anymore." Nakata made a decision with a calm face.
"We must learn to take the initiative, order all mobile troops, and then don't be afraid when we encounter this situation again, take the initiative to attack, find and drag the main force of the garrison that wants to retreat, and wait for the follow-up mobile troops to rush to the battlefield to encircle them and kill them."
"Let them not forget their identity as an imperial army, a reinforced squadron, even if they are ambushed by the garrison regiment, they can hold out until the follow-up mobile troops arrive at the battlefield in time."
"This is also part of the battle plan we made at that time, but we have never been able to meet the main force of the garrison regiment that has been assembled, so we have no chance to use it."
"Now that they are moving together with the main force, we have to seize this opportunity."
"As for those annoying guerrillas, let those Imperial Allied troops deal with it!"
"The Imperial Army has been on their net for so long, and it is their turn to contribute to the Imperial Army."
"It's not okay to deal with the main force of the garrison, it's definitely no problem to deal with the guerrillas, let them go out with the mobile troops, and if they encounter the guerrillas on the march, they will be killed directly and entangled with them."
"The guerrillas are familiar with the terrain, and the Imperial Allied Army is also familiar with it, and the Imperial Allied Army has been systematically trained, and its combat effectiveness is definitely stronger, plus they are well equipped, and the two sides are fighting, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the end."
In the regimental headquarters of the Laiyuan City Garrison Regiment, except for a few staff officers on duty who were still on duty, everyone else fell asleep, including the regiment commander Li Hao.
"Bangbang ......"
A knock on the door suddenly sounded at the door, Li Hao reacted quickly, opened his eyes and got up from the bed, and then stared at the door and shouted.
"Come in."
Hong Linfeng rushed in with a solemn face, and when he saw Li Hao, he hurriedly reported: "Regiment commander, something happened in the guerrilla zone." ”
"Nakata Yama Lang dispatched a large number of puppet troops to suddenly participate in the war, and he specifically stared at the guerrillas!"
"Let them not have the strength to fight with the main force."
"Then the mobile troops took the initiative to attack and chased our main force."
"In the process of fighting with the devil's pursuers, the third company of the special service battalion was directly surrounded by the devil's follow-up mobile troops because they didn't get the news in time, and finally used flying thunder guns and heavy mortars to open the gap and break out."
"There are nearly 400 people in the main force plus the squadron, and only more than 100 people remain, and all the heavy weapons have been lost."
"The other two attacking forces were also pursued by several mobile units, and finally managed to escape the pursuit by dividing their forces, but they also suffered more than half of the casualties."
Li Hao couldn't sit still, he lost nearly 700 people in one night, and the losses of the guerrillas were still being counted, but they were certainly not small.
This was definitely the largest casualty ever since the garrison regiment established the guerrilla zone.
When he walked into the regiment headquarters, he re-read the telegram handed over by the chief of staff twice, and then analyzed: "There are two reasons why we will fail tonight. ”
"One is that the puppet army suddenly entered the war, caught the guerrillas off guard, and dragged the guerrillas on the battlefield, unable to support the main force."
"After all, it is a guerrilla zone, not a base area."
"Without the guerrillas to cooperate in the operation, the main force there is half blind and half deaf, and it is not possible that there is no devil mobile unit familiar with the terrain, how can it not fail."
"The second reason is that the troops were not divided in time."
"Nearly four hundred people are gathered together, and there are nearly one-third of the local troops inside, and the target is large, and it is easy to be caught up by the devil's mobile force. And once there is an encounter, the old and new troops will definitely be mixed together. ”
Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and replied, "I agree with your judgment, head of the regiment. ”
"The other two troops finally succeeded in getting rid of the devil's pursuit by dividing their troops, which is the best proof."
