The 413th is dedicated to recruits
The reason why the Devil Wing Captain is so panicked is because once all three infantry captains are finished, his wing will basically be scrapped.
What is the use of artillery and logistics alone, when the time comes, it will have to be transferred to other troops, or it will be the result of annexation.
"Wing Commander, our reinforcements are coming, and the Eighth Route Army, which blocked the other two brigades, has retreated."
"It's just...... It's just our loss ....... ”
The chief of staff of the devil said that he didn't say any more here, and the captain of the devil wing breathed a sigh of relief, now it's not a matter of how big the loss is, as long as it doesn't hurt the vitality.
The Eighth Route Army disappeared without a trace again, and Li Ping led his troops to retreat for a distance and continue to hide, because of his three local ambushes, the devils had been alarmed, and the next battle choice was much more difficult.
Li Ping retreated, and the captain of the Devil Wing on the other side finally saw his two remnants return, but the situation was worse than he expected.
Both brigades lost more than seventy percent, which can be described as crippled.
It doesn't matter if you're disabled, if you have the first actual battle, you can start to become a veteran.
The key is that the problem that the captain of the devil wing sees now is that the troops look lifeless.
"Captain, the situation is not good, looking at their situation, they are on the verge of collapse."
The chief of staff of the devil frowned, he didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would not only make his wing half crippled in the first battle, but directly lose morale.
Looking at these frightened soldiers, the chief of staff of the devil knew that if this problem was not solved well, once the soldiers collapsed, it would trigger a chain reaction.
The Devil Wing Captain's expression was extremely serious at this time, he looked at these soldiers, then looked at the chief of staff, and said: "Find a way to motivate their blood, I don't want them to become waste." ”
"Yes, Wing Commander."
When the captain of the devil wing was a father and a mother here, the ambush operation of the Eighth Route Army had already made the two devil divisions gnash their teeth.
"I actually took the lead and shot before we reached their edge, it seems that I underestimated them."
The commander of a devil division spoke, he really didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to mobilize a large army to fight like this.
He and others marched all the way, and they were all harassed by the small troops of the Eighth Route Army, but now it seems that the big fish have begun to forage.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the division commander next to him, and immediately looked sympathetic.
The Eighth Route Army only made one move, and in just half a day, one of his wings was half-disabled, no wonder everyone looked down on these recruit units for the time being.
Looking at him with an iron face, the commander of the devil division spoke: "The two troops will march cross-march from today!" Your troops also need to be exercised. ”
The commander of the other devil division nodded, he knew what it meant.
With the veteran troops to respond, I have to relax a lot.
"Thank you."
After the two devil captains finished discussing, they immediately conveyed the order, and the marching devils began to adjust.
Li Ping knew about this situation not long after, and when he figured out the general purpose of the devil, Li Ping also felt a headache.
At the beginning, I used devils to train soldiers, but I didn't expect devils to come to such a hand today.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Li Ping was a little silent when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Order the troops, except for Zhou Baozhong's detachment, to let the two detachments disperse and fight specifically to find the recruits of the devil." ”
"The special operations team all dispersed and infiltrated the rear of the devils, so that they could start sabotage operations."
"Our next goal is only one, to slow down the devil's march."
"Yes, Captain."
The order was conveyed, and the troops began to disperse, leaving only Zhou Baozhong's detachment by Li Ping's side.
Although the results of the scattered operations were small, this way of fighting still gave the devils a headache, and the pace of the original march had basically stagnated because the new and old troops had to respond to the march.
But now the Eighth Route Army seized this opportunity to easily expose the vacancy and began to fight.
One day, two days, these two days were simply a disaster day for the devil recruit troops, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army singled out them.
"Bastard, such a cunning Eighth Route Army."
The commander of the devil division gritted his teeth, and the Eighth Route Army knew that it was afraid of the weak and the hard, even if there was support from veteran troops, it was not an ambush anyway.
They just strike from time to time, which makes people helpless.
It is said that the training of troops on the battlefield is the fastest, and although the casualties are large, those who survive are elite.
The commander of the Devil Division could only sigh in his heart at this time, the training of the troops was trained, but the operation of the Eighth Route Army also planted the seeds of fear.
Although the Eighth Route Army's operations slowed down the devils' march, two days was enough time for them to reach the Eighth Route Army's base area.
When the marching devils slowly crossed the area of the Wuping Line, they immediately began to choose to rest and recuperate.
The Kono Division has now become the rear garrison of the encirclement and suppression troops, first, because he is familiar with the situation here, and second, because he wants to ensure the logistical security of the large army.
"Hmph, send them to do it, it's better than us!"
Kono snorted coldly in the headquarters, but he saw the situation of the recruit division, the troops that had not been hit were high-spirited, and the troops that had been hit were lifeless.
The best situation was for the troops that were not badly damaged and had survived the First World War.
This situation is not normal in Kono's opinion, and the strength of the Eighth Route Army is not so easy to solve.
At present, another recruit division from the Anshan front line is the Imperial Allied Army, and this line of troops has been blocked by the Eighth Route Army on the Tai'an line, and it is not allowed to advance an inch.
When the superiority of troops was so strong, they were actually blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and Kono had always despised them in his heart.
Now it is not very good to look at the combination of new and old troops along the way, although it looks like it is violent, but in Kono's opinion, their next advance speed will become slow, which can be described as a step by step.
Kono's most satisfying thing is, of course, the advance troops on the front line of Zhangwu, and the steady advance of the second division made it impossible for the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army over there to find a vacancy.
In Kono's view, the main force of the operation at this time was the Second Division, and the other troops were only qualified response troops.
Thinking of this, Kono was a little moved, whether to let the recruit divisions that came over take over their own defense areas, and then liberate their own troops, and then carry out encirclement and suppression.
The more Kono thought about it, the more feasible he felt, he and Shibata were beaten to ashes, and if he wanted to erase this shame, of course he had to get it back on the battlefield.
Shibata died in vain, and the original command's desire to transfer him to the second-line army was not realized, and he died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander paid the price to redeem his body.
Thinking of this, Kono felt that he couldn't go further and further on the road of being transferred to the second-line army.
Kono called the chief of staff and told him what he thought, and the chief of staff sent a telegram asking for instructions.
