Chapter 1346: The Only Way Out (Second Update!) )
Seeing that his subordinates were staring at him and not moving, the wing captain directly scolded in a tone of hatred: "Bage Yalu, what are you doing here?" Waiting to die? I can't figure out the simple reason of continuing to reinforce Wushanwa, what do I want you officers to do. ”
The chief of staff hurriedly comforted: "Chief, calm your anger!" ”
"The incident happened suddenly, and the time was rushed, everyone must not have reacted so quickly as you, sir."
"If you don't understand this problem, everyone will definitely have a lot of worries when they carry out the order, which is not conducive to the next battle."
"So I hope the chief can explain it to everyone, so that everyone can rest assured."
"Yaga!" The co-captain scolded helplessly.
If in normal times, seeing so many subordinates questioning his orders, the wing captain would definitely make an example of the monkeys, teach these people a lesson, and establish his supremacy in the wing by the way.
Not today.
These subordinates in front of them are the future of the team, and at the critical moment of the life and death of the team, everyone is crucial, and the loss of one person is enough for their own heartache for a long time.
The chief of staff is right, the next battle is too important, if everyone has a lot of concerns about their orders, the implementation will definitely not be so decisive, and a large number of fighters will be missed in the course of the battle, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Thinking of this, although the wing commander was very dissatisfied, he still patiently explained: "Can anyone tell me how many people are left in the entire sweeping force, and according to our battle plan, how many people can successfully break through, I only need approximate data." ”
The chief of staff was most familiar with the situation on the battlefield, thought for a moment and replied: "After the attack just now, there should be more than 3,000 troops on the battlefield. ”
"According to the worst-case scenario, we will only break through halfway, and we will be left with 1,600 to 1,700 people."
The co-captain nodded in agreement and continued to ask.
"Let's count it according to 1,700 people, how many imperial troops are among these people, and how many imperial army are there."
The chief of staff did not hesitate much on this question, and replied very briskly: "Under normal circumstances, the imperial army accounts for two-thirds, and the imperial army accounts for one-third. ”
"After all, this is a breakthrough battle, the Imperial Allied Army is definitely not as good as the Imperial Army in terms of physical strength and will to fight, there must be many people who break through to the middle of the siege and fall behind, or directly surrender to the Eighth Route Army."
"The current troops, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army, each account for half, and there must be more Imperial Armies that can successfully break through than the Imperial Allied Army."
"Let's count it at 1,200 people, which is exactly the strength of a full infantry brigade." The wing captain didn't talk much nonsense on this issue, and analyzed it very quickly.
"More than 1,000 imperial troops, more than 400 imperial allied troops, after giving up reinforcements to Wushanwa, they will definitely return the same way, and then be ordered to withdraw from the garrison base area."
"Judging from the frequency and scale of the attacks we have been attacked in the past few days, there are still quite a few people in the Eighth Route Army who are active around us."
"With our strength alone, can we safely exit the garrison base area? Can anyone give me a guarantee? This is a question that you have certainly not considered. ”
"It's not the same if you continue to reinforce Wushanwa."
"No matter whether we can inflict heavy losses on the Eighth Route Army there, as long as we kill it, the Eighth Route Army will definitely withdraw."
"The remaining strength of the breakthrough force and the East Road sweeping force, there must be three or four thousand people."
"It is definitely safer for two units to evacuate the garrison base area together than for more than 1,000 people to evacuate alone."
"As for your worries about the reinforcements being ambushed next?"
"I can judge very firmly: your worries are unfounded."
"In order to deal with us, the garrison regiment has sent out heavy artillery, chariots, and cavalry."
"If there are still troops, they will definitely lie in ambush here, and combine heavy artillery, chariots, and cavalry to attack us together, and the results of this battle will definitely be much greater than arranging another ambush battlefield."
"So I'm sure: as long as the troops manage to break through and get out of here, they will be safe."
"You can rest assured that you can boldly continue to reinforce Wushanwa."
The chief of staff was the first to react, glared at his thoughtful subordinates, and ordered loudly: "What are you waiting for here, go and prepare for a breakthrough." ”
"The sooner we break through and survive, the more hope there is for our wing."
After the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan learned that the sweeping troops on the east road were besieged by the garrison, the army commander stayed in the war room without rest.
Just when he was about to lose his hold, the deputy chief of staff hurriedly ran in, very anxious.
The fool could also tell from his expression that something was wrong at the front, and the wing commander was no exception, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with the reinforcements?" ”
"Hey!" The deputy chief of staff strode to the sand table and pointed to Pingshui Town and reported: "The reinforcements were raided by the Eighth Route Army in Pingshui Town, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. ”
"Pingshui Town, this can't be!" The commander shouted in disbelief.
Several staff officers also showed expressions of incredible shock.
The commander of the army did not speak to the deputy chief of staff at all, and continued: "If you say that they are attacked elsewhere, I still believe it, it is simply impossible in Pingshui Town. ”
"The terrain there is flat, there is not even a place for Tibetans, how can the Eighth Route Army ambush it?"
The deputy chief of staff finally seized the opportunity to speak, and hurriedly replied: "The infantry really can't fight an ambush there, so the Eighth Route Army didn't send infantry, and they don't have so many infantry available." ”
"Reinforcements report: they were attacked by long-range artillery fire from the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment in Pingshui Town, and the troops suffered heavy losses."
"While the troops were hiding from artillery fire, the chariot units of the garrison regiment suddenly appeared, and more than a dozen armored vehicles and dozens of armed motorized troops attacked them in four directions under the cover of heavy artillery."
"In the course of the raid, cavalry units also appeared [5200], attacking their artillery positions from the flanks, relieving the offensive pressure of the tank troops, and the reinforcements suffered heavy losses."
"Frontal hard shoulders and normal retreats could not stop the combined attack of the Eighth Route Army's chariots, heavy artillery and cavalry."
"In order to alleviate casualties, they decided to divide their troops to break through the siege, and how many they could kill were few."
"The surviving soldiers will gather outside the battlefield and then continue to reinforce Wushanwa."
The commander's face changed drastically, and the picture of the reinforcements being attacked came to his mind on the spot.
First, heavy artillery bombardment, after blowing up the troops, the chariots attacked, and if they encountered rapid-fire guns, the cavalry flanks came out to raid the artillery positions.
The three forces cooperated with each other, covered each other, and crushed and encroached on the strength of the reinforcements little by little.
The reinforcements had only two legs, and they would certainly not be able to outrun the chariots and cavalry.
When the troops retreat normally, the chariots and cavalry will follow the retreating troops like ducks and chase them all the way, and the retreat can easily turn into a big rout, and the gods will not be able to return to heaven when the time comes.
Splitting up the troops to break through is definitely the best choice.
Part of the soldiers was pursued and killed, dragging the limited chariots and cavalry units of the garrison regiment.
The remaining soldiers will be able to escape......
The more the commander thought about it, the paler his face became, he smashed his fist on the sand table, and scolded with anger on his face: "Eight Grid Yalu, I didn't expect the ambush battle to be fought like this, this garrison regiment is really not ordinary." ”
