"Sir, the artillery strength of the Eighth Route Army Garrison Regiment is very strong, and the mountain artillery has already been dispatched." A staff officer rushed in and reported.

"Heavy mortar squadrons suffered heavy losses in artillery battles and suffered significant losses."

"Moreover, the enemy has placed mountain artillery positions outside the effective range of mortars, and except for the mountain artillery brigade, the mortars equipped by the troops cannot pose a threat to them."

The wing commander decisively ordered: "There is no need to ask for instructions for this kind of thing, order the mountain artillery brigade to immediately counterattack and kill the mountain artillery unit of the garrison regiment." ”

As the mountain artillery brigade entered the battle, the artillery sound on the battlefield became more and more dense, mixed with a very piercing scream of breaking the air.

The longer the artillery battle continued, the fainter the smile on the face of the wing commander became, and finally it was slowly replaced by seriousness.

The garrison regiment had already been beaten to the bone in the previous battle, and suffered heavy casualties, but it did not expect that it still had the strength to fight such a large-scale artillery battle with the imperial army, and it was not left behind.

The result was completely beyond his expectations.

The expression on the face of the artillery staff officer next to him can already be described as dignified.

He was a professional gunner and could hear the battlefield through the sound of the cannons.

As the sound of the cannon intensified, he finally couldn't help but remind: "Sir, something seems wrong?" ”

"Listening to the sound of artillery, the garrison regiment now has at least three units of mountain artillery participating in the battle, which are arranged in different artillery positions."

"We only have one mountain artillery brigade and twelve mountain guns, and they are arranged together, and once we are attacked, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"The sound of artillery firing from the mountain artillery position has obviously been suppressed by the sound of shell explosions."

"I suspect that the mountain artillery brigade has an accident......"

Before he could finish speaking, a communications officer rushed in.

Panting, he hurriedly reported: "Report to the sir, something happened to the mountain artillery brigade." ”

"The Eighth Route Army was equipped with at least eighteen mountain guns, and a group of six mountain guns, which successively joined the battle and engaged in artillery battles with us."

"As soon as the mountain artillery brigade opened fire, it was counterattacked by these mountain artillery because the target was exposed, and the losses were heavy."

The captain's serious face suddenly sank, and he stared at the communications officer and asked, "How is the Mountain Artillery Brigade now?" And heavy mortar squadrons and tank squadrons, did they have problems? ”

"The mountain artillery brigade lost seven mountain guns, and the other five mountain guns were successfully transferred." The communications officer hastened to tell what he knew.

"The heavy mortar squadron also lost five guns in the artillery battle because of the untimely transfer."

"The gunners of the two artillery units also suffered heavy casualties, especially the heavy mortar squadrons, because the artillery positions were not large, the artillery was concentrated, the gunners were concentrated, and at least sixty percent of the gunners died in the artillery battle just now."

"As for the tank squadrons, they were the first targets of the heavy mortar squadrons of the garrison regiments, and now there is already a light tank, an armored vehicle has been destroyed."

"Eight Grid Tooth Road...... "The Wing Captain scolded.

"Originally, we were going to take down the garrison that attacked us on our own, but now it seems impossible."

"The garrison regiment has not been beaten by us, they still have strength, and it is not small."

"Judging by this stance, it looks like they're going to swallow us in one gulp."

"Order the artillery units, the tank troops, not to resist the artillery of the garrison regiment anymore, from now on, the main combat is to reinforce the infantry, supplemented by the artillery of the counterattack garrison."

"We're so big that we have plenty of room to maneuver and engage the enemy."

"I believe that even if there is no artillery support, and the battlefield is pressed and beaten by the artillery of the garrison regiment, the thousands of imperial troops under his command can withstand their attack and hold the station."

"Since the garrison wants to swallow us in one bite, then we will use it as bait and drag them down."

"Report!"

Another communications officer rushed into the tent, panting and flushed, apparently rushing all the way through.

After coming in, without waiting for the wing captain to speak, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army has appeared, and there are a lot of Eighth Route Army?" ”

"The defenders on the east side of the garrison were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the opposing side had at least one reinforced battalion, armed with mortars and heavy machine guns."

"There is also a large number of Eighth Route Army in the south, and the strength is more than a battalion, but the offensive has not yet begun."

"There were also sporadic firefights in the other two directions, and there was also the appearance of the Eighth Route Army, the strength of which is unknown."

"Boom ......"

A series of explosions suddenly reached the command headquarters, deafening, interrupting the communications officer's words.

The artillery staff officer's face changed for a moment, and he hurriedly reported: "It's a flying thunder cannon." ”

"Sir, the garrison has used the Flying Thunder Cannon. The Flying Thunder Cannon has a limited range and can only attack the infantry on the defensive line, and if it explodes in a large area, our troops stationed on the defensive line will definitely suffer heavy casualties. ”

The wing captain snorted coldly and replied, "This is too obvious, the garrison must want to eat us in one bite tonight." It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to break its ten fingers, so as to repel our sweep. ”

"However, they also underestimate our infantry."

"Order the participating troops to resolutely block their attack, drag them, artillery units, tank units, unconditionally support infantry operations."

"Immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters informing us of our situation."

The Japanese army was independently formed into a brigade headquarters, and the chief of staff rushed into the war room like the wind, with a smile on his face and joy from the bottom of his heart.

Without waiting for Nakata Yamaro to speak, he hurriedly reported: "General, the main force of the garrison regiment has appeared. ”

"Destroy the garrison this evening."

"Yamamoto-kun was in a hurry, they were attacked by the main force of the garrison regiment, and the opponent gathered at least 3,000 troops, and also used a large number of mortars, flying thunder guns, heavy mortars, and mountain artillery."

"Among them, there are at least eighteen mountain cannons that can be identified."

"At the beginning of the battle, there was a large-scale artillery battle with the imperial army."

"Because Yamamoto-kun underestimated the strength of the garrison, we suffered a lot of losses in the artillery battle."

"At present, the troops have focused on defense and fighting, fighting with the enemy to attrition and dragging them down."

"Judging from the humble position, the garrison group wants to eat Yamamoto-kun and defeat us by destroying the Yamamoto United."

Nakata Shanlang's eyes obviously shot out two sharp edges, stared at the sand table and replied: "It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, this is the usual way of the Eighth Route Army to fight against us, so I agree with your judgment, they must be repeating their old tricks to repel us." ”

"This time, though, he's clearly miscalculated."

"From the very beginning, I was guarding against them using this trick."

"Therefore, it has always been required that the distance between the three attacking troops should not be widened, and the heavy artillery brigade should be as far forward as possible, so that once a unit is attacked, the three troops can rush to the battlefield as soon as possible."

"Chief of Staff, did Yamamoto-kun report on who the Eighth Route Army attacked them!"

"Hey!"

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "In addition to the huge artillery unit, the infantry has nearly three thousand people, which is well-equipped and has good combat effectiveness, and it should be the only remaining main force of the garrison regiment." ”

"In addition, there are still signs of a large number of cavalry activities of the Eighth Route Army around the battlefield, which should be the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment."

"Judging from the humble position, the garrison regiment concentrated all the troops transferred from the base area in Yamamoto, and made a desperate bet to open a breakthrough from Yamamoto."

"Our three-way sweeping troops are advancing in unison. It's like a comb, directly combing through the occupied area where the garrison is active, and then continuing to kill their base area, and combing there in the same way. ”

"If any unit has a problem during the whole sweeping process, there will be a gap in this comb, and the enemy can escape from this gap to our encirclement."

Nakata Yama Lang affirmed: "The artillery, infantry, and cavalry have all passed, which means that there are no other Eighth Route Army troops in the theater." ”

"There is no longer the encirclement point I feared to send reinforcements."

"Order: The other two sweeping troops, the heavy artillery brigade, immediately reinforce the Yamamoto Wing, and kill boldly with confidence."

"The main force of the garrison regiment is all with the Yamamoto Wing, and even if there are troops moving around them, it is a small force sent by the garrison regiment, slowing down their marching speed and buying time for the main force to destroy the Yamamoto Wing."

In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao has been standing at the lookout to observe the battle situation.

The brow is sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.

The real exchange of fire on the battlefield was already in full swing, and under the cover of artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns, the attacking troops rushed to the Japanese puppet army garrison like hungry wolves, but none of the troops could break through the interception of the Japanese blocking force and kill the station.

Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after another attack was repelled by the devils, he couldn't help but scold: "Regiment leader, why are these little devils so difficult to fight?" ”

"The explosive packets hit by the shells and flying thunder guns exploded around them over and over again, and there were still people alive."

"There are few machine guns left, and they can still stop our attack, and they also cause huge casualties to our attacking troops."

Li Hao's face became more and more serious.

The joy that the artillery battalion brought to itself after defeating the Japanese artillery unit has disappeared completely.

replied with a calm face: "This is the real elite of the little devil, you can't be defeated on the battlefield, you can't drag it down, and you will never retreat unless the whole army is destroyed." ”

"Under our shelling, they already suffered heavy casualties, but they repelled the attack of one of our companies with dozens of remnants. Looking at our garrison regiments, this kind of combat effectiveness can only be achieved by reconnaissance companies and commandos. ”

"And there are at least two thousand more troops in the garrison we are attacking."

"Chief of Staff, this bone is harder to gnaw than we imagined!"

"Immediately remind all participating troops that they must control the rhythm of the offensive, minimize casualties, use more artillery on the battlefield, and never use guns for the little devils who can solve the problem with shells."

"The devil is very powerful, but he is also flesh and blood, a cannonball smashed over, and it still took their lives."

"Don't look at us pulling all the family resources over to attack the devil in front of us, with a posture that is bound to win. But the real goal is not to destroy them, but to send reinforcements. ”

"As long as Xiao Yuan's mission is completed, we will have a big killing weapon to deal with these little devils in front of us."
