Chapter 317: The Death of the 358th Regiment
You all think so? ”
Yang Chen's sharp gaze swept over everyone's cheeks and asked in a deep voice.
"This ......"
Everyone originally wanted to nod, but when they saw that Yang Chen's eyes seemed to be a little wrong, they all hesitated.
"Generally, robbing camps is a last resort choice for the disadvantaged side.
Because if the inferior side wants to turn the tide of the battle and win, the only way to do it is to make dangerous moves.
And the defense of the superior side is relatively lax, which often gives the underdog an opportunity.
The inferior side tends to be on high alert and even guard against surprise attacks by enemy troops.
If my prediction is correct, the Japanese army will definitely strengthen their defenses tonight and will not unload their armor at night.
If our army rashly attacks, it is very likely to fall into the trap set by the Japanese army, and the good situation will be buried in vain, and in the end the gains will outweigh the losses! Or even fall into a dangerous situation from which there will be no return! ”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and as Yang Chen's sharp gaze swept over like an eagle falcon, they subconsciously drooped their heads.
"In today's battle, we wiped out most of the field infantry of the Japanese army, but the current strength of the Japanese First Army is still more than twice that of our army.
Even if it is the devil's artillery, sappers, and baggage soldiers, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated! ”
"Commander-in-chief, what do we do now?"
After thinking about it, Huo Zhengyun asked again.
"Abandon the main position, disperse the positions on the left and right flanks, and advance 5 miles!"
Speaking of this, Yang Chen's gaze suddenly turned to Xu Hailang, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and shouted: "Xu Hailang! ”
"Yes!"
Xu Hailang straightened up and responded loudly.
"The task of clearing out the Japanese scouts is entrusted to your reconnaissance battalion!"
"Guaranteed to make the little devil blind!"
"Good!"
Yang Chen nodded, and then continued: "The rest of the departments, before the reconnaissance battalion clears all the devil scouts, deploy a minefield in front of the frontal battlefield.
Tomorrow, if the little devils continue to attack, we will kill from both wings and block all these charging little devils in this huge pocket.
If the Japanese army does not attack, then we will take the initiative. ”
"Commander-in-chief, what do you mean, the little devil still dares to continue to charge?"
Huo Zhengyun was a little incredulous.
"Don't underestimate the madness of these little devils! Especially since the First Army suffered a series of defeats in our hands and was almost wiped out, even if they were allowed to go back, it was estimated that it would become a shame in the Japanese military circles, and even be punished, so they had no choice! ”
Yang Chen showed an expression of eating the First Army of the Japanese Army, and slowly spoke.
……
The night seems to be quiet, but in fact, there are endless dangers.
Under the leadership of Xu Hailang, the soldiers of the guard battalion are pulling out the devil's eyeliner step by step.
They did not hide their whereabouts, but were extremely high-profile, in order to deliberately put pressure on the little devils.
The old devil of the commander of the Japanese First Army, Kazuki Kiyoji, didn't know what to do, but thought that this was a precursor to the coalition army's intention to attack, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night.
At the same time, he ordered his imperial army to be on high alert.
Time passed minute by minute, and thousands of little devils of the First Army survived the night in endless panic.
……
The picture pulls to the Black Tiger Gorge.
Before dawn, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, called all the remaining more than 2,000 officers and soldiers under his command and gathered them together.
Chu Yunfei looked around, looked at the soldiers who were already exhausted after an afternoon of fierce fighting, and finally retracted his gaze and looked straight ahead and asked, "Brothers, I brought you to the desperate situation of Black Tiger Gorge, do you hate me?"
One of the remnants of the soldier, whose head was wrapped in gauze, said awe-inspiringly: "Tuanza, what you said is out of sight!" As soldiers, it is our duty to carry guns and fight, and if we can follow a commander like you, our brothers will all die in battle, and we will never complain!"
"That's right! No complaints! Anyway, it's already enough!" The other soldiers followed suit with righteous indignation.
Although most of them had only joined the 358 regiment for a long time, they were all impressed by Chu Yunfei's excellent personality charm, admired him incomparably, and were willing to die for him without complaint.
This is a special feeling that people who have not experienced war and life and death in later generations will never be able to understand.
In this era, people with simple hearts and people who value love and righteousness abound.
Especially for these big-headed soldiers, when Chu Yunfei showed them the care that other commanders had never had, he shared weal and woe with them, and really regarded them as brothers.
Instead of driving them as superiors, these illiterate big-headed soldiers are willing to go to the trouble for it.
The ancients said that a scholar dies for a confidant, and the grace of knowing is repaid with death, which is the truth.
Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, Qian Bojun and others were very relieved when they saw it.
"Well said, brethren! I'm proud to have soldiers like you!" Chu Yunfei said with a solemn face: "The country is in trouble, we soldiers who eat imperial food and carry steel guns can't go up, do we want those unarmed ordinary people to go up?"
As long as we can intercept these bitch little devil reinforcements and cover the victory of the main force in the theater, then our sacrifice will be worth it!
Yesterday there were already so many brothers who went, and today, in their place, we will complete their unfinished mission!
If the little devil tries to cross this Black Tiger Gorge in vain, then he must pay the price of blood!
However, even if we sacrifice, we will have to pull a few more little devils on our backs! Now I order, all of them, to go to the front and get ready for battle!"
"Yes!"
More than 2,000 remnants of the soldiers agreed one after another, they were all veterans who had been baptized by bloody battles, and their tactical literacy was not what it used to be, so they quickly rushed to the position without too much arrangement.
The guns were loaded, and they waited for the arrival of the Japanese army.
As soon as the early sun rose, a loud rumbling sound sounded in the east of the Black Tiger Gorge.
It was under the command of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 20th Field Artillery Wing under its command launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the defenders of the 358th Regiment west of Heihu Gorge.
The 358th Regiment was also not to be outdone, when the army of little devils was preparing to cross the Black Tiger Gorge under the cover of artillery fire, the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment also launched a brazen counterattack against the little devils.
Because of Yang Chen's sponsorship, the strength of the 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion has been greatly improved.
Although it was inferior to the 20th Field Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army, it was not much different.
It is precisely because of the strong field artillery force that they have been able to hold out to this day.
Otherwise, I am afraid that in yesterday's battle, they have been annihilated by the little devils.
It was only under the bombardment of the Japanese aviation that the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and many field artillery pieces were also damaged in the bombing of the devil aviation.
So much so that the field artillery is less than half of yesterday's.
But even so, the officers and men of the 358th Regiment still had no fear.
When the army of devils rushed through the Black Tiger Gorge and entered their firepower, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.
