Chapter 385 The little devil wants to retreat
The gunfire stopped, the smoke cleared, and under the bright sun, the guard position was completely submerged and turned into a pond, the muddy water was covered with blood, and corpses floated.
The terrain to the west was much higher, and the river was still pouring into the pond from the three breaches, allowing the pond to continue to rise, to the east over the earthen dam, and then to the heath farther east.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Li Siwei took the special service company and the company directly under him across the muddy grass and hurriedly approached the main position.
In the three sets of defense plans, the 66th Regiment will blow up the embankment, release water to flood the guard position, and form a barrier to block the attack of the little devils.
However, at this time, the third set of plans was successfully implemented, and the 66th Regiment was able to ruthlessly rectify the little devils before the embankment was blown up, until the Araki Brigade that was advancing alone was completely annihilated.
The first battle was won, and the officers and men of the whole regiment were naturally happy and excited.
"Regiment leader," on the main position, seeing Li Siwei hurrying back, the generals hurriedly greeted him, and his eyebrows fluttered on his big faces, "This deal is very comfortable......
Li Siwei swept away the generals, and Dahua had a solemn expression on his face, "What about the casualties of the various departments?" ”
As the saying goes, "Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred", as long as you fight, no matter how amazing the strategy is, you must shed blood and sacrifice.
"Here,"
Chen Huaili hurriedly handed a small piece of paper to Li Siwei, looking excited, "Thirty-five people were killed in the whole regiment, sixty-eight were seriously injured, and one hundred and twenty-three people were lightly injured...... We've won the battle! ”
"Yes, a big win!"
The generals nodded in agreement, "There are thousands of people in this group of little devils......"
"Okay," Li Siwei took the small piece of paper and waved his hand gently, his expression still solemn, "Now is not the time to be happy!" If nothing else, the follow-up troops of the little devils will soon arrive...... It's going to be an uphill battle! ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei looked around at the generals again, and his voice sank, "Go back and tell every brother: The current victory is only temporary, and we can only win if we resist the follow-up troops of the little devil!" ”
The so-called "arrogant soldiers will be defeated", the performance of the generals made Li Siwei worried.
"Yes!"
The generals looked stunned and agreed.
In the First Battle of Tonggu, the 143rd Wing of the Japanese invaders made a detour from the southwest of Tonggu and successfully captured the Keyonggang Airport, posing a fatal threat to the right flank of the Tonggu defenders.
This time, the Japanese invaders repeated their old tricks, and still sent the 143rd Wing to make a detour from Zazawa, preparing to capture Zazawa in one fell swoop and take Pingmanna directly.
However, Zazawa's defenders were not easy to mess with: as soon as the battle began, the forward Araki brigade sent back a telegram asking for help.
After receiving the telegram asking for help, Nara Osa was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered the Imamura Brigade to rush to Sawa to reinforce the Araki Brigade with light equipment, while he took the rest of his troops to hurry up.
However, Nara Osa led his troops to drive out more than ten miles, and Second Lieutenant Takasu of the communication team hurriedly came to report, "Shaosa, the Araki Brigade has lost contact with ......"
Yaga!
An ominous premonition came to his heart, and Nara Daisa's face was gloomy, "Contact the Imamura Brigade immediately......"
In the southeast of Zazawa, Imamura Shaozo led his troops to hurry over, and the low ridge was already in sight, but he couldn't hear the slightest movement, and his heart sank suddenly.
"Shaoza," at this moment, the second lieutenant of the reconnaissance team Tsuchihashi hurriedly came to report, his face was slightly pale, and his voice was heavy, "A flooded position was found about two miles north of the low ridge, and the bodies of Araki Shaosa and the officers and soldiers of the department were found in the water...... We're late! ”
"Yaga!"
Hearing this, Imamura Shaozo scolded angrily, his voice trembling slightly, "I want to ...... Kill them all, kill them all! ”
The noon sun was blazing, but the staff officers and generals only felt a chill to the bone.
It has been less than an hour since receiving the Araki Brigade's request for help, and the enemy has been able to completely annihilate the Araki Brigade in such a short time...... What kind of enemy army is that?
Isn't it said that the enemy army will not exceed one regiment?
Could it be that the information of the division headquarters is wrong?
Obviously, Imamura Shaozo also realized this possibility, and his anger gradually subsided, and he frowned and groaned with a gloomy face, his expression quite hesitant.
How to choose whether to enter or not to enter?
If you enter, the Araki Brigade will be able to learn from the future!
If you don't enter, won't you lose the prestige of the Imperial Army?
"Shao Zuo,"
Seeing that Imamura Shaoza looked hesitant, the executive officer, Captain Morioka, reminded in a low voice, "Please ask Your Excellency Osa first!" ”
"That's right," Imamura Shaosa came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at Ensign Tsuchihashi, "Tsuchihashi-kun, your department continues to expand the scope of investigation!" ”
"Hey!"
Second Lieutenant Tsuchihashi hurriedly agreed and hurried away.
"Nagumo-kun," Imamura Shaosa looked at the attendant officer Second Lieutenant Nagumo again, "order all departments to set up positions on the spot, and report the situation to His Excellency Osa, and ask him for instructions!" ”
According to the order, the Imamura Brigade came here to reinforce the trapped Araki Brigade, but now, the Araki Brigade has been completely wiped out......
Seeing what happened to the Araki brigade, Imamura Shaosa was discouraged.
However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the fighters were fleeting, and just when Imamura Shaoza hesitated, the reinforcements of the 66th Regiment were also constantly approaching the Zazawa defense line.
On the main position, the temporary headquarters was busy, and Li Siwei sat silently at the table smoking a cigarette with a solemn expression.
"Leader," Chen Huaili hurriedly walked in, his eyebrows could not hide his excitement, "The brothers have already set up, just wait for the little devil to send them to the door!" ”
"Turtle's," Li Siwei took off the cigarette in his mouth, looked up and glared at Chen Huaili, and a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "You just think that the little devil called?" ”
"Uh......"
Chen Huaili was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face, "Commander, don't you want the little devil to call?" We've been preparing for a long time...... Besides, aren't reinforcements coming soon? If you dare to come on a dog day, we just want to buy and sell it again! ”
"Don't be happy for now," Li Siwei shook his head gently, "In the previous battle, our strength has been exposed, and the little devil will inevitably be alert, and the possibility of fighting again will not be too great." ”
"Oh," Chen Huaili frowned, sat down on Li Siwei's right hand, and speculated, "You mean...... The little devil came here with the intention of raiding, at this moment, the strategic intent has been exposed, and seeing that our combat strength is not bad, he may regard Zaze as chicken ribs? ”
"That's right," Li Siwei nodded slightly, "The main direction of the little devil's attack is not in Zaze...... The raid on Zazawa was originally to take advantage, so naturally there was no reason to fight with us. ”
"Smack......
Before Li Siwei's words fell, he heard a gunshot suddenly, and stood up with a complicated expression, "Holy shit, it's really hard to guess the mind of the little devil......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Before Li Siwei's words fell, there was already gunfire outside.
"Let's go!"
Li Siwei grabbed the submachine gun on the table and put it on his shoulder, turned around, and strode towards the entrance of the cave, "Do him another deal!" ”
"Okay!"
Chen Huaili hurriedly got up and hurriedly followed, "Let the dog understand that Zaze is not the place they should come!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Tianfu also hurriedly followed, his face full of excitement, "I want to be afraid of the dog's day......
Li Siwei and his entourage hurriedly left the headquarters and just entered the trench, but they heard the gunfire suddenly stop.
"All-friend,"
Li Siwei went straight to the edge of the trench and looked at Lu Quanyou, who was holding a telescope to look at the outpost position, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's the little devil's reconnaissance unit," Lu Quanyou put down his binoculars and pointed in the direction of the low ridge, "It's already retreated...... Dogs, one by one, they run faster than rabbits! ”
"Oh," Li Siwei also raised the telescope and looked over, but where was the shadow of the little devil?
"Commander,"
Chen Huaili smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid you're right!" ”
"No," Li Siwei gently lowered the binoculars, his expression had become solemn, "It seems that the dog will not give up!" ”
"Regiment Commander," Lu Quanyou smiled, "Our reinforcements are almost here, right?" ”
"It should be soon," Li Siwei's expression softened slightly, "I hope the brothers of the friendly army also have a pair of iron feet!" ”
To the east of Zaze, the regiments directly under the Fifth Army were marching rapidly, inspecting one by one lightly armed and burying their heads in a hurry.
At the same time, the Nara Osasho was also hurrying southeast of Sawawa, with chariots opening the way, infantry following, and field artillery behind.
For a time, the wind and clouds changed, and the battle clouds gathered in the sky over Zaze.
In front of the low ridge, behind the main position of the Imamura brigade, a corpse was carried out of the low ridge, carried across the small river, and carried straight to here, one by one, and in a short time, seven or eight hundred corpses were placed.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the faces of the little devils were very ugly, and the atmosphere was silent and sad.
"Shaoza," for a long time, Captain Morioka gently broke the silence, "the rest of the corpses ......"
Previously, Imamura Shosa reported the situation and received an order from Nara Osa to collect the corpses of the robes who died in battle, but the troops sent by the Imamura Brigade to collect the corpses were attacked as soon as they brought back seven or eight hundred corpses, so they had to retreat in a panic.
"Grab it back!"
Before Captain Morioka could finish speaking, Imamura Shaosa suddenly turned his head and stared at him deadly, with a sad and resolute expression, "Do whatever it takes...... Grab it back! ”
"Hey!"
Captain Morioka agreed, and was about to leave, but saw a little devil coming in a hurry, "Report Shaozuo, Your Excellency Dazuo has arrived!" ”
"Good!"
Imamura Shaosa's spirits perked up, and he turned his head to look at Captain Morioka, "Morioka-kun, order all the troops on the north bank to prepare for the attack...... This shame must be washed away with blood! ”
Almost at the same time, reinforcements from the 66th Regiment also rushed to the main position, led by Commander Liu of the regiment directly under the Fifth Army.
As soon as Commander Liu arrived at the position, he hurriedly found Li Siwei, and his eyes roamed up and down on Li Siwei, as if he wanted to see Li Siwei through, which made Li Siwei, who was in a hurry, smile stiffened, "Captain Liu...... What's wrong with the little brother? ”
"Uh......"
Head Liu was stunned and laughed, "Brother Li said he was laughing...... It's just that Brother Li is surprisingly young! It's really a hero out of a teenager! ”
"Brother Liu has won the award," Li Siwei hurriedly smiled, his face slightly red, "Little brother is just lucky!" ”
The world thinks that victory is won by strategy and bravery.
Li Siwei used to think so, but after a long battle, he understood: Most of the time, victory is inseparable from good luck, the enemy is not negligent, no matter how good the strategy can not achieve miraculous results, the enemy does not make mistakes, no matter how brave the army is, it will "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred."
For example, in this battle, if the Araki Brigade is equipped with heavy artillery, or if the little devil is replaced by a more cautious or decisive commander...... Then, the sixty-sixth regiment probably would not have won so beautifully.
"Brother Li is too humble!"
Obviously, Regiment Commander Liu only thought that Li Siwei was being modest, and quickly changed the topic, "Let's talk about your defense plan first!" ”
"Good!"
Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, jumped onto the trench, and pointed to the southeast, "The little devil came from the southeast and was stationed behind that low ridge...... Today, our troops have abandoned the outpost positions in the southeast and southwest directions, and have set up water barriers in the warning positions, and all the forces are concentrated on the forward positions and the main positions......"
Here, Li Siwei is briefing Head Liu; Over there, Imamura Shosa was also reporting the results of the reconnaissance to Nara Osa, "The enemy has shrunk the defensive line and set up water barriers in the southeast and southwest directions, and it will be difficult for our tanks to advance ......"
Listening, the murderous aura on Nara Daisa's face gradually faded, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Osa," Imamura Shosa finished reporting the situation, Nara Osa was silent, and Staff Officer Nishimura Nakasa hesitated to give advice, "Now, our department's combat intentions have been exposed, and if we attack again, the war will be stalemate...... It's not good for the bigger picture. ”
"Hmm," Nara Osa nodded slightly, groaned slightly, and looked at Imamura Shaosa, "Imamura-kun, immediately organize a death squad to retrieve the corpses of the dead robes, and the field artillery of the wing headquarters will support you!" ”
Belch...... Dazuo is ready to withdraw?
Hearing this, Imamura Shaozuo was stunned, only to feel a surge of blood from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight to his head, "Your Excellency, our army must wash away this shame ......"
"Imamura-kun!"
Nara Dasa glared at Imamura Shaosa tightly, his face pale, "Please focus on the overall situation!" ”
"Hey!"
Imamura Shaozo was shocked, the blood in his brain suddenly retreated, and he hurriedly hung his head and hurried away.
After a short time, Imamura Shaoza sent three death squads to quietly touch the guard position that had been turned into a pool and began to salvage the corpses scattered in the pool.
"Holy shit,"
On the forward position of the 66th Regiment, Sun Dali put down the binoculars and turned his head to look at Huanghua, "Is it neat?" ”
Huang Hua was also holding a telescope and staring at the little devil tightly, seeing that the little devil showed no signs of active attack, he groaned slightly, then shook his head gently, "Wait and see!" ”
There is a clear space of three or five hundred meters wide between the forward position and the alert position, unless you charge, otherwise, even with Heiwa's marksmanship, you can't help the little devil who is fluttering in the pool.
"Turtle's,"
Sun Dali scolded helplessly, "If only Ji Kui and them still had cannonballs!" ”
Unfortunately, in order to carry out the third set of plans, the artillery company's shells were already exhausted, and the remaining dozen or so mortar shells could not be consumed in order to touch these scattered enemy troops on the warning position.
Commander Liu's troops hurriedly came to help, all of them were lightly armed, and there was no artillery accompanying them, and there was a field artillery company for follow-up reinforcements, but they had not yet arrived.
So, the Imamura brigade successfully retrieved the body from the pool and then hurried back.
"Dog's Day is all about scooping up corpses?"
On the main position, Li Siwei put down the binoculars and his face was full of regret, "I knew that Lao Tzu should have moved all the corpses to the forward position!" ”
