Chapter 957: Li Hao wants to fight a war of attrition? (First update!) )
At first, Huang Sheng didn't understand the regiment commander's order.
The defense line, which had been built with a lot of manpower and material resources, was abandoned after only one attack by the Japanese army, which was too much of a loss.
Now he understood.
In the battle just now, a company relied on the No. 1 defense line to kill more than 100 devils in total.
There are more than a dozen of such lines of defense behind them, and one line of defense has killed more than a hundred, and the sum of more than a dozen lines of defense is nearly two thousand little devils.
More importantly, the battalion's artillery company had not moved in the battle just now, and if they had participated in the battle, the results would have been even greater.
"Weng Hum ......"
The louder and louder roar overhead interrupted Huang Sheng's thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw a plane swooping down towards the ground, faster and faster.
"Let's retreat too!"
Huang Sheng was not nervous in the face of the plane for the first time, and ordered calmly.
There are three communication trenches on the battlefield connected to the No. 1 and No. 2 defense lines, and as long as the speed is fast, the whole company can withdraw in just one minute.
The bunkers are also connected to communication trenches, and each bunker can be emptied by up to ten soldiers, and all of them can be evacuated within a minute.
The devil planes are now diving to bomb position No. 1, and there will be nothing to gain except to shoot in the air and waste bombs in vain.
"Woooooooooo......oo Rumble ......"
The roar of the planes became louder and louder, and when Huang Sheng's ears were buzzing, the Japanese mountain artillery unit a kilometer away also joined the battle.
A door cannon roared, pushing the flame-wrapped shells out of the chamber and screeching across the battlefield and into Position One.
At the headquarters of the garrison regiment, several radio stations suddenly turned on red lights, and the sound of "Didi ......" sounded.
For a time, all the operators were on duty, wearing headphones, and converting the signal into numbers.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The phone rang too, and the headquarters, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became lively, with various voices coming and going.
"Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, three battalions of urgent telegrams: the Japanese have begun to attack, the main forces, the garrison, the imperial army, a total of more than six thousand people are attacking them under the cover of three aircraft."
"The Japanese offensive was fierce and cautious, directly giving up the tentative attack and bombarding it with artillery when it came up."
"In addition to being equipped with a large number of mountain artillery, the Japanese puppet army attacking them also has nine tanks, twelve heavy artillery, and more than a hundred baggage vehicles full of supplies and ammunition!"
Hong Linfeng stood beside him and quickly instructed his subordinates to mark the contents of the telegram on the sand table.
As soon as it was marked, another communications staff officer rushed over: "Report to the regiment commander, the second battalion is in an emergency, they are also under fierce attack by the Japanese army!" ”
A communications staff officer put down the microphone and reported: "Regiment commander, the independent battalion is in a hurry, they are under fierce attack by the Japanese puppet army!" ”
"Report to the regiment commander, the first battalion reports, a Japanese puppet army suddenly moved and penetrated directly into the junction between them and the Jin Sui army, with a total strength of more than seven thousand people, equipped with heavy artillery and tanks!"
The four-way attacking troops, like four unsheathed swords, went straight into the base area of the garrison.
Judging from the sand table, the four-way attack is more like a huge semi-encirclement, directly wrapping the garrison base in it.
As the encirclement gets smaller and smaller, so does the space for the garrison to operate until it is eliminated.
"Regiment Commander, this is the same as our previous judgment, with the wing as a unit, the four-way attacking troops marched in unison, encircling and annihilating our garrison in the base camp, that is, in the territory of Lingqiu."
"The Japanese puppet army is heavily attacking, and the strength of the attacking troops on each side is very strong, and there are heavy artillery and planes, obviously to prevent us from breaking through."
Li Hao was silent for a moment, then looked at the sand table and replied: "Every time we fight the little devils, we use this trick, and we are tired of using it." ”
"Since the little devils are prepared, it would be fools to hit them again, and it is not my style."
"This time I decided to play differently."
"In the eyes of devils, our Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, lacks ammunition, and does not have a perfect logistics system, so it cannot fight a war of attrition."
"This time I did the opposite and fought a war of attrition with the devils."
"Order: 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Independent Battalion, be sure to use the fortification group that has been repaired to block them for two days."
"According to the original battle plan, regardless of a defensive line and a hidden bunker, each defense line will take the initiative to retreat after repelling an attack by the Japanese puppet army, exchanging space for time, and the will to attack of the Japanese puppet army will be worn out little by little."
"Don't worry about the first battalion, although the Japanese puppet army there is also very strong, it is in the gap between us and the Jin Sui army, and will never attack us at any cost."
"If my judgment is correct, this Japanese puppet army will not make big moves in the next attack, but will focus on surveillance."
"If we are defeated in the next battle, they will take advantage of the situation and attack us deadly."
"If the offensive does not go well, this unit will definitely take on the task of covering."
"So all we need to deal with is the three-way Japanese puppet army that attacks the second and third battalions and the independent battalion."
"Chief of Staff, you bring the assault battalion to reinforce the second battalion, and bring twenty flying thunder cannons and two hundred supporting explosive packs."
"Deputy Regiment Commander Luo took the special battalion to reinforce the independent battalion, and also brought twenty flying thunder cannons and two hundred explosive packs."
"The second and third companies of the guard battalion, the cavalry battalion, the air defense battalion, and the heavy artillery battalion, follow me, and bring all the remaining twenty flying thunder guns and explosives bags."
"Come and look at the map!"
"Here's a plan of the defensive positions that several battalions are holding."
"I plan to use these lines of defense to fight a counterattack by the devils, and I will use the troops you brought to the front line and twenty flying thunder cannons."
"If you're lucky, we'll be able to kill at least two teams of little devils tonight."
"Specifically, we ...... like this"
In the positions of the three battalions, the artillery rumbled, and the guns continued to fire.
The Zero fighter swooped down from a high altitude, and when it was still a few hundred meters above the ground, it decisively dropped the bomb!
After the fighter returned to the air with a roar, the explosion sounded on the ground behind it.
The flames rose from the ground along with the black smoke, and the logs and stones used to reinforce the trenches were like toys in front of the bombs, and they were easily thrown into the sky, scattered and scattered, and finally smashed into the radius of forty or fifty meters around the bomb impact point like rain.
This is the third batch of planes sent by the Japanese air force today.
It was the last bomb that was dropped just now, and then the three fighters swung their wings and flew farther and farther, slowly disappearing from everyone's field of vision.
Takahashi Saburo Osa was the wing commander of this wing of the Japanese army, and the supreme commander of all the Japanese puppet troops attacking the third battalion.
Looking at the fighter plane flying farther and farther overhead, his brows involuntarily twisted.
At ten o'clock in the morning the troops began to attack, and it was now five o'clock in the afternoon, with an hour's break for lunch in between, which added up to six hours of continuous combat for the troops.
But the results were very few, and even a little unproductive.
From the first line of defense, the troops advanced less than two kilometers.
As for the elimination of the Eighth Route Army, it is even more pitiful.
They are too cunning.
Hiding in a completely hidden trench, he suddenly rises to block the attacking troops, retreats when he hits, and does not give himself time to react at all.
The artillery strikes and aircraft bombardments that the attacking troops had prepared for all the time could not keep up with their retreat. In addition to razing their exposed positions to the ground, almost no Eighth Route Army was killed.
