Chapter 130: Late Message
This made the attack of the forward troops slowly start to weaken.
In particular, the ammunition supply in the rear could not be transported to the front, and the ammunition in their hands was also consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye in the fierce battle.
Among the commanders of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang received one news after another from the front.
"Reporter's seat!! Our offensive was blocked, and the enemy's artillery shells on the river cut off our communication with the troops at the front. Go on the offensive or not!! ”
"Reporter's seat!! The 524th Regiment suffered heavy losses, and the regiment commander Han Xianyuan asked to withdraw from the battle, otherwise the thousands of soldiers who acted as the vanguard might all die at the hands of the Japanese army!! ”
"Reporter! The commander of the 433rd Regiment was killed, and now the deputy commander has led the soldiers of the whole regiment to fight to the death with the Japanese army! But reinforcements from the Japanese army have arrived, and they are asking for reinforcements! ”
One after another, the battle reports reached Sun Yuanliang's ears.
At this time, he stomped his steps in the headquarters restlessly, and from time to time used high-powered binoculars to look at the night sky in the distance that was red by the explosion, like red blood staining the sky.
Among all the bad news, there is only one piece of good news.
"Report to the division, the third battalion of the 524th regiment, the commander of the Qin battalion sent a telegram that they have defeated the 38th Wing of the Japanese army and occupied Taihe Street! At the same time, they asked for artillery support, and they discovered the position of the forward headquarters of the Japanese army, and if they could provide artillery support, they might be able to turn the tide of the battle! ”
Although this was good news, Sun Yuanliang was not happy when he heard it.
Because he had just put on small shoes for Qin Chuan, during tonight's attack, he did not provide Qin Chuan with any artillery assistance, or even material assistance.
Now that Qin Chuan has defeated the position where a wing of the Japanese army is stationed, isn't this a slap in his face?
He touched his cheek, and it always felt hot.
"Division, do you provide artillery support?" The staff officer asked.
Sun Yuanliang only remembered at this time, and immediately said: "Immediately provide artillery support, let them provide the accurate coordinates of the enemy's forward headquarters!" ”
"But ·····" At this time, the staff officer began to hesitate.
"But what? Do you think I will refuse to provide artillery support? Sun Yuanliang was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and suddenly raised the tone of his voice.
The soldier hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Shizao, yes... It was this telegram that had been sent half an hour later, just after the end of the shelling.
The people in the staff department knew that you and Battalion Commander Qin had some disagreements, so they postponed this telegram. I've just gotten it here. ”
"Fooling around !!" Sun Yuanliang roared angrily, turned around and said, "Contact the battalion commander Qin immediately, tell him, let him provide the exact coordinates of the enemy's headquarters, and the support of the artillery regiment will arrive immediately." ”
The staff officer nodded, and then hurriedly conveyed Sun Yuanliang's words.
When Jia Litao, the chief of staff in charge of the staff here, heard this, he shook his head secretly, and conveyed Sun Yuanliang's order to Qin Chuan.
Looking at the telegram that had taken so long for the staff to come back, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.
Because after the enemy's forward command is exposed, it will definitely be transferred at the first time to avoid it becoming the target of artillery shelling.
For such a long time, it is already a delay in the fighter. In such a large block, it would be difficult for Qin Chuan to determine the coordinates of the forward command of the Japanese army.
So Qin Chuan directly replied with a telegram: "The Japanese command has been transferred, and the coordinates cannot be determined again!" The Japanese counterattack is about to begin, our army will fight to the death, and Wangshizuo can provide a certain degree of artillery support! ”
This telegram reached Sun Yuanliang's hands at a very fast speed.
However, the coordinates could not be determined, and he only applied for a certain amount of artillery support to resist the Japanese counterattack, which made Sun Yuanliang very disappointed.
"I wonder if this Qin Chuan is making fun of me! He didn't determine the coordinates of the enemy's headquarters at all, he just wanted to deceive artillery support! You tell him that now there is a shortage of shells and there is no artillery support!! Sun Yuanliang said.
Chief of Staff Jia Litao thought for a while, and then leaned over and said: "Division, their three battalions, after all, are the only troops that have captured the Japanese neighborhood, if they don't provide artillery support, maybe..."
"Could be what? The battle has just begun, and soon other neighborhoods will be captured by our army! What's in a hurry? I don't believe it, Lao Tzu is a dignified division commander, and he still needs to see the face of a battalion commander!! As Sun Yuanliang spoke, he ordered the artillery unit to continue to bombard the rear of the Japanese army as a response to the artillery bombardment of the Japanese ships.
The offensive on the front, no progress was made.
Although the armored battalion of the 88th Division was very brave, because of the lack of tactical coordination and the fact that the Japanese army on the opposite side was equipped with anti-aircraft artillery, the threat to them was too great. This caused very serious losses to the tank vehicles of the armored battalion.
Long Yuhang, the commander of the armored battalion, climbed out of the tank that had been blown off its tracks and looked at the flickering Japanese positions in front of him.
At this time, his armored car was less than thirty meters away from the Japanese position. But it can no longer be pushed forward.
Beside him, a large number of national infantry were still charging desperately.
They were not cowardly, they were even very brave, but under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army and the dense firepower network, their bravery did not allow them to have an invulnerable steel body.
One soldier after another, strafed to the ground by bullets from machine guns and rifles. The blood splattered from the soldiers' bodies sprayed in the night sky, and then their bodies fell to the ground with a pop.
"It's over!! Both··· It's all over!! Long Yuhang looked at the soldiers who fell one after another, and tears welled up in his eyes.
At this time, he remembered what Qin Chuan had said before the war.
At that time, there should be many officers in the command headquarters who knew that this attack was auspicious, but only Qin Chuan dared to brave the world's condemnation and stand up and tell the truth.
And such an officer who spoke the truth was kicked out of the command and waited outside for the final battle order.
Even their troops could not receive any material assistance, artillery support and reinforcement.
"Battalion Commander Qin, it's... I was wrong! Long Yuhang thought like this, and a Japanese bullet directly pierced his chest.
He fell from the tank and died in the wrong attack because of a stupid decision from above.
