Chapter 270: Asking for Support from the Military Division (Third Update!) )
At the headquarters of the Japanese division, as soon as it was dawn, the commander of the lieutenant general's division was woken up by his subordinates.
Just as he was about to get angry, his subordinates, who were familiar with the temper of the division commander, had already reported first: "General, something happened to the Watanabe Brigade that we attacked from the direction of Lingqiu!" ”
"They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night, and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army was almost wiped out, and the Imperial Army also lost an infantry squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squad, and also lost all ammunition, baggage, and artillery!"
"They implore the troops to suspend the offensive and go to Lingqiu County first to wait for the ammunition, baggage and all artillery to be replenished before continuing the attack!"
As the only officer in the division who served as the captain of the brigade with the rank of Nakasa, the division commander still had a certain understanding of Watanabe.
He has rich combat experience, and after graduating from the military academy, he climbed step by step from the bottom to the position of captain, and has made many achievements.
The division commander admired him very much, and had already thought that after this large-scale sweep was over, he would be promoted as long as there was a vacancy among the first-class officers of the Great Zuo, and it would be a waste of talent to stay in the position of group commander.
So he never thought that Watanabe Nakasa would be the first to have an accident among all the attacking troops.
The shocked division commander was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
Staring at his subordinates, he asked, "What's going on?" How could it be that the troops suffered such a huge loss in one night, and it was also the Watanabe brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most experience in the enemy in our entire division! ”
"Watanabe Nakasa, I know him, he is very cautious in marching and fighting, he will definitely not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and he will not show any opportunity for the Eighth Route Army, how can he fail!"
The subordinates hurriedly replied: "The general is angry! ”
"Watanabe's brigade was defeated last night, lost its troops, and lost all its baggage ammunition and artillery, so Watanabe Nakasa really shouldn't be held responsible!"
"The main responsibility should be on the Imperial Allied Army that cooperates with them!"
"On the battlefield, except for a few Imperial Cooperative Army who are loyal to the Imperial Army, most of the Imperial Cooperative Army and the Imperial Army are not of the same mind!"
"Although there was no such a mutiny, every time they encountered a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, they did not counterattack, waiting to be a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Because of the inaction of the Imperial Army, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them at night, repeatedly used the Imperial Army as a breakthrough to attack the Imperial Army, and consumed a large number of Imperial Army's troops!"
"And he also used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to transfer the entire Watanabe Brigade away from the station, taking the opportunity to raid their station, and destroying all the heavy ammunition and artillery of the Watanabe Brigade!"
The chief of staff snatched the telegram from his subordinates' hands, and after reading it, he scolded loudly.
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and those Imperial Allies are not a good thing!"
"Those who eat the imperial army and use the imperial army, not only do they not help the imperial army when they go to the battlefield, but they become a burden to the imperial army, and even set up the imperial army, they are even more hateful!
"Watanabe Nakasa is right, those who cooperate with us in the battle and are ostensibly loyal to the Imperial Army cannot be fully trusted, especially when fighting!"
"You immediately send a telegram to the other sweeping troops, and ask them to keep an eye on the Imperial Allied Army that cooperates with them in the battle, I'd rather not let them participate in the battle, or be cannon fodder for the Imperial Army, than let them become a burden to the Imperial Army and drag down the Imperial Army!"
"Hey!" The subordinate replied immediately.
After a moment's hesitation, he reminded: "Then how will Watanabe Nakasa's reply here!" ”
"Agree that they will suspend the attack, temporarily stationed in Lingqiu County, and wait for the heavy ammunition and artillery to arrive before continuing the attack!"
"Order the logistics baggage wing to immediately replenish the Watanabe brigade with baggage ammunition!"
"The artillery wing will send a mountain artillery squadron and baggage troops to Lingqiu to supplement the Watanabe brigade!"
The guerrillas were temporarily assembled at the place, and the guerrillas already knew the news that Watanabe's brigade had turned to the county seat of Lingqiu.
Hong Linfeng jumped up directly and shouted happily: "Captain, we won!" ”
"The Japanese army has lost its troops, and now it has suspended its attack and gone to Lingqiu County, it must be planning to wait for reinforcements in Lingqiu, and then continue to attack us!"
"The heavy ammunition needs to be sent by the Japanese army from their logistics base to Lingqiu County, and it will take two days to march urgently, which means that the devils in Lingqiu City will not be able to continue attacking our army division after at least two days...... Taking this opportunity, the troops can finally take a good rest! ”
Li Hao also had a smile on his face, but he didn't agree with Hong Linfeng's suggestion, and shook his head to answer!
"We can't rest yet!"
"Your previous analysis is good, this Japanese army is staying in Lingqiu and waiting to replenish heavy ammunition and artillery, but if we rest like this for two days and do nothing, two days later, the replenished Japanese army will continue to attack the military division, and the pressure of our task of dragging them for ten days in Lingqiu is still very huge!"
"Last night's battle was equivalent to fighting in vain, and the point of destroying all the heavy ammunition and artillery of the Japanese army was gone."
"If we can make persistent efforts and find a way to fight another battle, we will force these Japanese soldiers to stay in Lingqiu County for at least five more days!"
"When the Japanese attack again, we only need to delay them for another four days to complete the task, and the pressure will be much less!"
Hong Linfeng's eyes immediately became hot.
"If there is really a way to let this little devil stay in Lingqiu County for a few more days, even if he doesn't rest, it will be cost-effective to insist on fighting two battles!"
"Captain, have you already figured out how to fight?"
"Do you want to continue to fight these little devils~ No, they are about to enter Lingqiu City, there is a city wall to protect them, we can't beat them, we must be fighting other Japanese puppet troops!"
A mysterious smile flashed at the corner of Li Hao's mouth and he replied: "We will fight whatever the Japanese army is waiting for in Lingqiu County!" ”
"Compared to the well-equipped elite of more than a thousand devils, what they are waiting for must be much easier to fight!"
Hong Linfeng suddenly understood.
With a sudden realization on his face, he shouted: "Hit them with baggage troops and artillery units!" ”
"Good way, captain, your trick is too high!"
"Knock out the baggage troops and artillery that replenished the ammunition to Lingqiu, the little devil has not been replenished, so he can only stay in Lingqiu and wait for the next replenishment, or return to the logistics base to replenish directly!"
"No matter which path they choose to continue, four or five days will definitely be delayed!"
"At that time, we only need to drag them down for five days through layers of blocking, and then the pressure on us to complete the task will be reduced by at least half!"
Li Hao nodded in agreement: "That's what it means!" ”
"However, it is too difficult to rely on our guerrillas' own strength in this matter, and it is very passive, after all, we have no one in the Japanese logistics base, and we don't know when this transport team will pass in front of our eyes!"
"Although it is possible to send troops to keep an eye on the road, it will take too much time to go and come, and we will not have time to lay out the battlefield for the enemy!"
"I'll send a telegram to the military sub-district now, asking the military sub-district to provide us with intelligence support!"
"There must be people in the military subdivision in the Japanese army's logistics base, as long as we can get information in advance, we can arrange in advance, prescribe the right medicine, and strive to kill them in one battle!"
"Even if we can't kill it, we have to destroy the baggage ammunition and all the artillery brought by the Japanese army, and let the little devils in Lingqiu County wait for nothing!"
