Chapter 116: Night Attack

"Smack...... Bang bang ......"

A series of loud slaps rang out, followed by a series of roars.

"Idiot...... Idiot...... I saw that I was about to break into the position of the Zhi Na people, but you actually let the Zhi Na people drive them back, which is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Hirota Ishii, don't you always say that you are the most powerful armored commander in all of Japan? How did you retreat in disgrace after a little blow? And you, Koichi Nakamura, don't you always show off your bravery on weekdays, why did you run back with you, you two are not real warriors, you are two stupid pigs! ”

On the Japanese position, Hirota Ishino was standing in front of Hirota Ishii and Koichi Nakamura spitting and roaring, and the spit continued to splash on the faces of the two, but the two who were trained did not even dare to make any excuses. They all knew that Hirota Ishino was angry at this time, and it was futile for them to say anything.

Liangjiu Botian Ishino was tired and scolded, so he sat down panting, and the orderly next to him hurriedly handed him a kettle.

After taking a sip of water, Hakuda Ishino Daisaku closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said to the two: "Tell me, what was going on in the battle just now, and why did the troops collapse and retreat so quickly?" ”

The two people standing with their hands down glanced at each other, although the two of them didn't like each other on weekdays, but at this time they were grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could run.

In the end, it was Ishii Hirota who spoke first: "Your Excellency, we retreated because the people of China came to reinforce the troops. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that they are actually equipped with anti-tank guns, it is these artillery pieces that destroyed seven or eight of our tanks at once, in order to protect the safety of the tanks, I had to order a retreat, Your Excellency Dazuo, please punish me! ”

After speaking. Ishii Hirota bowed heavily to Ishino and put on a posture of letting his hair fall.

Hakuda Ishino was silent, he picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, the seven or eight destroyed Type 89 chariots on the front of the position were so eye-catching on the battlefield, some of them were on fire and some were emitting black smoke, and around it there were some corpses of strangely twisted armored soldiers, all of whom were shot by the other party when they abandoned the vehicles and escaped after the chariots were destroyed.

"Yaga!" After putting down the binoculars, Hirota Ishino scolded hatefully, not knowing if he was scolding the enemy on the other side or denouncing his own incompetence.

And Ishii Hirota and Nakamura Koichi stood aside with their hands down, to be honest, they were a little dizzy for the defeat just now. They also couldn't understand why the obviously good situation turned into a rout in less than half an hour, and the artillery fire and those bullets that rained down suddenly came out of nowhere, and their side was beaten to the ground.

"Your Excellency!" Ishii Hirota gritted his teeth and said: "Please give me another chance, we were attacked by a surprise just now, and now I am ready, if I can't take the position of the Zhina, I won't come back to see you!" ”

"Your Excellency. Please let us storm again, we will definitely be able to take the position of the Chinese people! Koichi Nakamura on the side also stepped forward to ask for battle.

"Well, you don't have to say it, now is not the time to attack. A rash attack will only result in greater losses! Hakuda Ishino impatiently refused the request of the two, and he would not rashly launch a new attack until he knew the strength of the opposing national army.

Looking up at the sky, which had gradually become dark, he said to the two of them, "It's already starting to get dark, you go back to reorganize your troops immediately." I immediately reported the situation here to Commander Okamura and asked the aviation to come over for reinforcements tomorrow morning. As long as we wait for the arrival of the air force, no matter how powerful those people are, they will not be able to stop the advance of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

When he said this, a hideous look appeared on Hakuda Ishino's face......

Meanwhile. On the position of the national army, after sending Tan Di and the others away, Su Jin took Zhou Yusheng to walk along the position in a big circle, although it was only a rough walk, but it also took almost an hour.

When they finished, Zhou Yusheng said to Su Jin: "Tuanzuo, the place to be defended here is several square kilometers, and it is too reluctant for our regiment to defend such a large place, and we may not even be able to make up the reserves if there is any emergency." ”

"I can see it." Su Jin nodded.

This is the disadvantage of the defending side, although the defending side can wait for the work, but the attacking side has no advantage, they can attack at any time and place, and this disadvantage will be fatal when the defender is short of troops.

Zhou Yusheng asked Su Jin: "Then what do you think, you must know that Chief Wu has given you an order to defend for two days, if the Japanese plane comes tomorrow, we will be passive." ”

Su Jin looked at him with a strange expression: "Huh...... Isn't it up to you, a top student at the Berlin Military Academy, to find a way? Why did you ask me instead? ”

Zhou Yusheng said with a straight face: "Although I, the chief of staff, have the responsibility of making suggestions, the decision-making power is in your hands. Besides, I have to know what you think before I can make a plan accordingly, otherwise what else would I want you to do as the head of the regiment? ”

"Okay, you Zhou Chiyu, it seems that you have not only learned a skill in Germany, but also the old-fashioned character of the Germanic people." Looking at Zhou Yusheng's serious appearance, Su Jin could only shake his head and smile bitterly, how many people can stand his character, and it is easy to be choked to death by him when he is his chief.

After the joke was over, Su Jin said: "My method is very simple, since we are not strong enough to defend, then we will not defend." According to the information obtained by Division Commander Tan and us, the Japanese army on the opposite side is just a tank brigade and more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and the reason why they can suppress the 159th Division these days is nothing more than relying on the power of the chariot, in this case, why should we wait for them to attack, instead of waiting for them to attack, it is better for us to take the initiative to go out, I decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army with the strength of the whole regiment tonight, and strive to defeat them in one fell swoop, so that the danger of Xiaojinshan will naturally be solved. ”

"Danza's thoughts coincide with mine." Zhou Yusheng showed a look of appreciation in his eyes, "Attack is always the best defense, as long as the living forces of the Japanese army are eliminated, they will no longer pose a threat to us." ”

Su Jin laughed: "Since our heroes see the same thing, then it's time for you, the chief of staff, to go out next." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away!" Zhou Yusheng nodded and went down quickly.

Looking at Zhou Yusheng's departing figure, Su Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, he had to catch a strong man, otherwise how could it be so easy. Although it was decided to carry out a night attack on the Japanese army, there were many things to be prepared, which troops were in front, which troops were behind, which was covering which support, and how the artillery was to cover, all of which had to be planned in advance, and the importance of a good chief of staff at this time was reflected.

After Su Jin made a decision, Zhou Yusheng arranged things in an orderly manner, and he made a plan for which troops should do something, and then submitted it to Su Jin for approval.

After nightfall, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the temperature soon began to drop, and the icy water quickly transmitted the coolness from the soles of the feet to every inch of the nerves of the people, and many Japanese soldiers on the positions were soon wet with dense raindrops. They cursed angrily as they took out their raincoats and began to put them on, the worst of all were the wounded soldiers, due to the limited tents, many of the wounded soldiers could only be placed on the grass in the open air, this rain, the wounded soldiers were all wet, they cursed the weather while shouting at the medics, telling them to hurry up and find a way to cover themselves with something.

Wearing a raincoat, Hakuda Ishino looked at the light rain falling in the sky, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart, although he didn't know where this feeling came from, but this feeling always lingered in his heart, and only the crackling sound of countless feet stepping in the rain and the chaotic shouts of soldiers were left in his ears

"Whoosh...... Boom ......"

A flare exploded over the Japanese camp, emitting a scorching glow in the sky, and the elongated and eerie backs of the soldiers illuminated by the light were scattered on the rock wall. Hakuda Ishino lowered his head and gasped for air, his eyes wet from the rain and he could no longer clearly scan the surrounding situation, and the humid air was rapidly puffing in his nose.

For some reason, he always felt himself smell of death.

"It was a terrible night. I don't know what other terrible things are going to happen down there. Hakuda Ishino scolded as he vigorously wiped the mud off his riding boots.

Today's events were beyond his expectations, he really didn't expect today's battle situation to turn out like this, and what he thought was an upcoming victory would turn into a rout. Is there a more ridiculous joke than the dignified Imperial Japanese army being bombed by the artillery fire of the Chinese army?

And when he saw the flares passing in the sky from time to time, this feeling made him even more uneasy. What kind of army is coming from the other side, and when did the Chinese army be able to have the luxury of setting off flares as fireworks at night, is it possible that flares don't cost money?

"No, we must prepare the troops to prevent emergencies" When this feeling accumulated to a certain extent, Hirota Ishino immediately made a decision that seemed very ridiculous on a normal day.

However, this decision was made a little late, and as soon as he called the herald, a series of mournful whistling sounds sounded in the night sky...... (To be continued......)
