"The regiment commander's devil artillery position was taken down by us, it was full of artillery, only four or five were blown up by devils, and the others were all good." A communications soldier found Commander Zhou and reported excitedly.

"Great!" Head Zhou clenched his fists and shouted.

"Without artillery, the little devil is a hungry wolf with its fangs pulled out, and its combat effectiveness will definitely plummet."

"Go back and tell your company commander that you will immediately turn around and pounce on the Japanese baggage team to prevent them from jumping over the wall and blowing up the baggage."

"The others will follow me to assault the devil headquarters and capture the little devil captain alive."

On the offensive position, Li Hao stared at the battlefield motionlessly, his brows were sometimes tightened, sometimes relaxed, and he had been in this action for almost twenty minutes.

Hearing that the devil artillery position was shrouded in gunfire and the shells that smashed on the heads of the interspersed troops were gone, Li Hao finally moved, laughed on the spot, and said with great certainty.

"We have won this battle!"

The development of the battle situation was indeed exactly the same as Li Hao's judgment, and the balance of victory was constantly tilted in favor of the Eighth Route Army.

Without the threat of artillery fire, if the east and west commandos had divine help, they killed the devil's station in less than half a minute, and collided with the devils who had just completed the assembly.

Compared with the devils of the two reinforced squadrons, the superiority in firepower and strength of the two commandos is not particularly obvious.

But the devil has strong individual ability, and his overall combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the commando.

After killing together, the two sides actually fought to a draw, and no one could help anyone.

Li Hao decisively ordered the reserves to be dispatched, making them the last straw that crushed the enemy.

"A platoon of heavy machine guns, a platoon of artillery companies, and a platoon of guard companies, set off immediately to reinforce the eastern assault team and encircle and annihilate the remaining devils."

"The second platoon of heavy machine guns, the second platoon of the artillery company, the second platoon of the guard company, and the rapid march to reinforce the Western Road Commando."

"The others reinforce the mid-lane assault team, let's go now."

"The Flying Thunder Artillery Unit also went up with it."

"The outcome of this battle has been decided, there is no need to let comrades and devils fight hard, try to solve the remaining devils with explosives bags and shells."

The Japanese headquarters, surrounded by gunfire, is getting closer and closer.

Kato Nakasa was so anxious that he was sweating, he went to Laishui to fight the Eighth Route Army, and he didn't come to die for his military exploits.

It would be too unjust to be killed inexplicably before even reaching the destination.

Staring at the ticking telegraph next to him, he asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff hasn't called back yet? Keep calling until there's a response! ”

This is the third time in five minutes that Nakasa Kato has asked this question.

The opponent is too strong, and he will definitely not be able to win on his own strength, and Kato can only pin his hopes on the chief of staff dozens of kilometers away.

He believed that the chief of staff did not want to lose a reinforced brigade for no reason before the counteroffensive had even begun, which would affect the morale of the troops participating in the battle.

Therefore, as long as he keeps calling, the chief of staff will also be in a hurry and send troops to reinforce him.

"There's a response from the rallying ground!" The telegraph operator shouted suddenly.

The telegraph signal's signal light for receiving messages began to flicker incessantly.

The telegraph operator grabbed a headset and put it on his head, recording the telegram code as he listened.

A few minutes later, the translated message was delivered to Kato Nakasa.

"Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff has called back: Reinforcements have already set out and are on the way to the rapid march, asking us to rely on the favorable terrain to wait for reinforcements and hold out for at least four hours."

"Bage Yalu, according to the current offensive of the Eighth Route Army, we will all be corpses in four hours, what is the use of reinforcements coming over, do you collect corpses for us?" Kato Nakasa was dissatisfied and scolded.

After thinking for a few seconds, he commanded with a calm face.

"Call back to His Excellency the Chief of Staff immediately: The offensive of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and our artillery units will be wiped out, and we can hold out for two hours at most."

At this time, the captain of the guard suddenly rushed over and reported with a nervous face: "Sir, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and mortars and heavy machine guns have been transferred just now. ”

"You have to move right away, get out of here."

Kato Nakasa raised his binoculars just in time to see a heavy machine-gun emplacement covered in artillery fire.

He looked at the other two battlefields again, shook his head and ordered: "We can't leave here, all the troops who can still move can go to the battlefield and resolutely block the attack of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Immediately contact one or four or two squadrons, break through the interception of the Eighth Route Army at all costs, and move closer to the headquarters."

"The terrain around here is a little higher, and only by defending here can we have a chance to defend until reinforcements arrive."

After dozens of officers and orderlies joined the battle, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was finally contained.

Kato Nakasa was just about to take a long breath, but the explosion he least wanted to hear rang out again, like thunder, and the ground shook.

Four orange-red fireballs rose into the air, and thick black smoke soared into the sky, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, it's a Flying Thunder Cannon......," the deputy captain shouted, his face full of fear.

The bounce was so close to them that the scorching air swept towards them like a storm, nearly knocking them over.

A huge shockwave rushed over them, causing their ears to ring.

After the explosion, all the gunfire around the bullet impact point suddenly stopped, as if the soldiers there were all dead, and there was no movement at all.

More than 100 Eighth Route Army troops took the opportunity to enter the position, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and they attacked the headquarters......

At the assembly place of the Japanese army, the chief of staff walked around the headquarters with his hands behind his back, very anxious.

If Kato's brigade is really killed by the Eighth Route Army, it will not only affect the morale of other troops, change the tactical tactics of counterattacking Laishui, but also slap themselves in the face.

As soon as he received a telegram from Kato's brigade asking for help, the chief of staff dispatched three infantry squadrons and two cavalry squadrons to march forward to reinforce the past.

I don't dare to sleep in the war room, and if there is another accident, I can react as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Kato's brigade has an urgent telegram: they can hold out for two hours at most, and the speed of reinforcements will be accelerated." The communications staff officer ran in and reported.

A subordinate standing next to him shook his head and replied: "Chief of Staff, it is impossible for the infantry to arrive at the battlefield within two hours with only two legs, and the cavalry can arrive on time if the infantry is reinforced alone." ”

"The Kato Brigade must not be killed, it must be rescued." The chief of staff commanded firmly.

"Order the cavalry and infantry reinforcements of Kato's brigade to divide their forces immediately, and the cavalry will rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible to relieve the defensive pressure of Kato's brigade and let them hold out longer."

"The infantry then followed and rescued the Kato brigade."

After the herald left the assembly area on fast horses, the chief of staff was still not at ease, and continued to order: "Contact the aviation troops, and send planes to reinforce Kato's brigade as soon as dawn to cover their withdrawal to the assembly area." ”

"Also search the entire battlefield, find the Eighth Route Army that attacked Kato's brigade, and attack from the sky."

"Such a powerful opponent is hiding behind us, it's too dangerous, we have to find a way to kill it."
