Sato Command. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tanaka, the Chongqing Army's offensive intensity has decreased a lot, and the shelling has stopped, what's going on? Did they have other plans? Sato said worriedly.
"Sir, I think there is a possibility, our reinforcements will come soon, and their attack will be small, this is unreasonable!" Chief of Staff Tanaka said.
"It wasn't the bombing of the planes in the morning that hit them quite hard." Sato Road.
"Impossible, Chen Fei has more than 10,000 people, and our planes can destroy up to 1,000 of them if they are bombed." Chief of Staff Tanaka said.
"If this is the case, the Chongqing army may have to wait for the night to attack with all its might, they think that the attack during the day is not easy to attack, and at night due to the field of vision, it may be the last fight between our two sides." Sato Road.
"That's how it should be, sir, I'll go up there and supervise the battle." Tanaka Road.
"Okay, let the soldiers of the empire grit their teeth and hold on to the most difficult moments, and victory will definitely be ours." Sato said excitedly.
"Hey!" Tanaka replied.
Sato looked at Tanaka's back and thought about it, and whispered to the adjutant next to him: "Keep the code book and military flag of the brigade headquarters carefully, and destroy them as soon as there is a situation." β
The adjutant was startled and immediately replied: "Hey, but the commander can evacuate from the tunnel first while the Chongqing army is still attacking." β
Sato waved his hand and said: "It's not yet this time, in case it really can't stand it, let's talk about it, besides, the tunnel exit is a river, maybe the Chongqing army there has also arranged an interception force." β
"Sir, as long as you are in our brigade, you will not fall." The adjutant said firmly.
Zoten waved his hand and said, "Gather all the fighters, except for the communication soldiers, and go to the ground to assist the chief of staff in defense." β
"Hey!" The adjutant replied and immediately went to arrange it.
A soldier of the special service battalion at Chen Fei's command post ran into the command headquarters and said to Chen Fei: "Division commander, Adjutant Wang said that everything is ready to explode at any time!" β
Chen Fei nodded and looked at his watch and said, "Detonate in ten minutes!" β
"Yes!" The warrior replied and immediately went to inform.
"Wang Fang, inform Zhao Liu, old dog, there will be an explosion in ten minutes, after the explosion, immediately attack with all your strength, you must attack the town office." Chen Fei said to Wang Fang.
"Yes!" Wang Fang replied and immediately picked up the phone to contact.
Chen Fei took out a cigarette and lit it, thinking to himself, the last attack, don't make a mistake. Chen Fei also seemed a little anxious, after all, the enemy's stubborn resistance would also make the commander lose patience.
At 4:38, "boom, boom~", a continuous violent explosion sounded under the town office. The violent explosion made the earth seem to arch up, and the walls of the town hall collapsed in an instant.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The two regiments in front and behind began to attack with all their might. Chief of Staff Tanaka had just been shocked by the sudden explosion and fell to the ground, he got up and looked dazed, not knowing where he was or what he was doing.
"Defend, hold onγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Tanaka shouted.
"Chief of Staff Tanaka, Chief of Staff!" Adjutant Sato shouted.
"Oh, oh, ah~ By the way, the brigade commander is below, down there, go and see!" Tanaka suddenly came to his senses.
"Chief of Staff, it's all collapsed below, the brigade commander, the brigade commander should be buried underneath, the person is really despicable!" Adjutant said.
"Ah~" Tanaka exclaimed. Sato will not understand what is going on until he dies, and the instant burial makes him less painful, and as a professional soldier, he can be regarded as loyal to the empire.
"The Chongqing army is up!" A devil shouted, without the protection of the wall, the town office became unsafe.
"Don't stop the grenadiers, don't let the devil heavy machine gun exert its power, our heavy machine gun must cover the soldiers' charge!" Zhao Liuda shouted, commanding.
Since there were no shells, the grenadiers fell into the main force.
"Rush, rush, rush! Don't stop, move fast, machine guns are pressed up! The old dog also shouted here, because the place behind the town office is small, a battalion attack seems crowded, if the action is not fast, they will be hit by the devil as a target.
At this time, the Zhao Sixth Regiment on the front began to rush into the town office, and one of the devils inside actually held two grenades, touched them on the helmet hard, and rushed towards the soldiers of the independent regiment.
With the second sound of "boom~", the soldiers who rushed into the town office fell one after another.
The soldiers who rushed up from behind didn't know, they only heard the sound of explosions, and thought that the battle was fierce, and desperately wanted to rush into the town office. Two more devils rushed at the influx of warriors with grenades. "Boom~" The soldiers were killed and wounded, and at this time, a company commander who had just come up behind saw that the devil inside was a suicide assault.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, throw the grenade first!" The company commander shouted.
For a moment, the fighter took off the grenade and pulled the string and threw it into the town office. "Boom, boom~" More than a dozen grenades exploded continuously, blowing up the devil so that he didn't die and was dizzy.
"Submachine guns, machine guns, open the way first, quick, fast!" The company commander shouted.
"Da Da Da Da~" With the suppression of dense bullets, the devils were knocked down one after another, and Zhao Liutuan finally began to attack the town office and cleared them one by one.
The devils were also stiff, and they fought back, and in an instant, gunshots, explosions, the sound of bayonets inserting into their bodies, and more of them were the shouting and screaming of the devils, and they didn't know what to say, anyway, they all held their guns to meet the bullets. Later, the old dog group also rushed into the town office, and the town office was not very small if it was not beaten, but two or three thousand people poured in at once, and the devil had nowhere to hide.
"Shoot the torch, quick!" Zhao Liu shouted as soon as he entered the town office, and the sky gradually darkened.
Chen Fei had been watching the battle from a distance, and when Zhao Liu also entered the town office, he finally let go of his heart, and finally took this difficult bone.
"Division commander, can you contact the 5th theater?" Wang Fang came in happily.
"Wait!" Chen Fei replied.
"Division commander, Wang Liang, this guy is really powerful, this tunnel is dug and the explosives are buried, who would have thought that he is not a sapper but your adjutant." Sanmao said with a smile.
"Well, his kung fu is not as good as yours, but he is a good hand in this engineering and civil engineering." Chen Fei said.
"That's right, he has a sect, I heard that he is still in charge, but there don't seem to be many people in their faction." Sanmao smiled again.
"Sanmao, damn it, what are you talking about me again?" Wang Liang came in and said.
"He said you have what it takes." Chen Fei said with a smile.
"Report! Division commander, successfully completed the task. Wang Liang said.
"Okay, I'll give you a credit when the battle is over." Chen Fei said happily.
"Damn, I finally got it." Tang Bing came in and said.
"Don't take it lightly, let Tong Kaituan also go up and guard the perimeter of the town office, until it is completely calmed down." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" After Tang Bing finished speaking, he hurried out again.
Chen Fei looked at Wang Fang and said, "What's the situation on the chief of staff?" β
"Oh, the chief of staff has completed the task, but Chief Li wants them to wait a little longer." Wang Fang said.
"Well, why don't you report such an important matter?" Chen Fei said immediately when he heard it.
"Ah, I thought ~ I thought ~ the war was so tightγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Wang Fang said nervously.
"Call back, tell the chief of staff, tell Chief Li that there is no ammunition, come back quickly!" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Wang Fang replied and went out immediately.
Chen Fei looked at her back and shook his head, thinking, these 5 theaters clearly want to let the heavy artillery stay for a while and contribute a lot to them, although the war here is almost over, but this opening cannot be opened, saying that if the 33rd Group Army is relieved of the siege, it will be relieved, otherwise what is the heavy artillery rationed to the independent division, it is better to say that it is better to ration the 5th theater.
At this time, the distant gunfire gradually subsided.
Chen Fei listened to the gunshots and immediately said, "Wang Liang, inform me and don't let go of a devil." β
"Yes!" Wang Liang replied, in fact, every soldier understands this truth, but Chen Fei gave an order, hoping that they will pay attention to it, not to be carried away by the victory, and let the devils take advantage of it.
"Guo Liang, after the battle is over later, immediately ask all troops to report the casualties, although we won this battle, it was difficult to win." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, Commander!" Guo Liang replied.
Chen Fei saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he picked up the marching quilt and fell asleep, and after a while, Wang Fang came in, and when he saw that Chen Fei was sleeping, he whispered to Wang Liang: "Adjutant Wang, the 5th war zone is still waiting for our battle report, what should I do?" β
"Let's wait for the division commander to wake up, no one dares to call the shots in this matter, the division commander knows it in his heart." Wang Liang said.
"Alright then!" Wang Fang said.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as it was dawn, Chen Fei got up, only to see several regiment commanders and Tang soldiers in the command headquarters.
"Damn, this cigarette can smoke all the rats to death~" Chen Fei said with a smile.
"The division commander is awake?" Zhao Liu also smiled.
"What about troop casualties?" Chen Fei said.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
"Three thousand eight hundred and thirty people were sacrificed, four hundred and five were seriously injured and countless were lightly injured, and the Zhao Dadao Regiment suffered the largest casualties, and there were less than eight hundred people left in one regiment." Tang Bing replied.
"If there is no heavy artillery, our division will probably run out." Zhao Liudao.
"There is no heavy artillery regiment, we want a division to eat devils and a brigade to dream!" Liu Meng said.
Everyone, you say a word, Chen Fei listened while washing.
"Report to the Divisional Commander! 5 The theater of operations called again to inquire about the offensive. Wang Fang came in and said.
"Oh, call back, all annihilated, by the way, what's the situation with the heavy artillery regiment?" Chen Fei said.
"The Chief of Staff is consulting with Chief Lee." Wang Fang said.
"Negotiate what? The order must be returned in the evening. Chen Fei put down the towel and said.
"Yes!" Wang Fang replied.
"Where's the watermelon?" Chen Fei asked again.
"Oh, he's monitored all the nearby places within a radius of ten miles, probably a tea shop five miles away." Tang Bing said.
"What about Wang Liang? Where did it go? Chen Fei said.
"He's going to dig up the devil's underground headquarters that was blown up by explosives." Tang Bing said.
"The troops will withdraw from Xinghe Town in an hour, and assemble outside the town, after this battle, Xinghe Town will be destroyed, and the people will have to live, let them rebuild their homes as soon as possible." Chen Fei said.
"Do you want to help the people?" Tang Bing said.
"Yes, but you can only send one regiment to clean up the battlefield by the way." Chen Fei said.
"Okay, then Liu Mengtuan will go, Liu Meng, be careful." Tang Bing said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't miss a piece of iron." Liu Meng laughed.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the troops were resting, and the people went home one after another, and when they saw that their homes were bombed to tatters, they all cried loudly.
"Damn, this cry is about to catch up with the sound of cannons." Liu Meng looked at the people sadly.
Liu Meng also had a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and immediately asked the quartermaster department of the regiment to take out a small amount of food and distribute it to the people.
"Report!" Wang Liang came in and said.
"Oh, you're back, how's it going?" Chen Fei said.
"I found Sato's body, and there are seven radio stations, but they are all crushed, I don't know if they can be repaired?" Wang Liang said.
"Oh, don't you have a military flag?" Chen Fei asked.
"No, some information, the military flag should have been burned after we blew up the ground." Wang Liang said.
"Well, it's a pity, but it's the same with Sato's corpse, ask Wang Fang to ask what to do with the 5th war zone?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Wang Liang went back to find Wang Fang.
"Heavy artillery, heavy artillery!" Chen Fei said softly, he thought to himself, with heavy artillery, he could actually destroy nearly 10,000 people in a brigade of devils, which was unimaginable before, Chen Fei had a new understanding of artillery.
