Chapter 364: Vultures
Dense shells and bullets poured into the rice fields, the mud lifted up was more than ten meters high, and human objects flew up from time to time at the point where the bullets landed, and powerful machine guns and machine gun bullets also began to wreak havoc on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. √∟ Top Novel,
Fortunately, this area is wide enough, and the Japanese army is in a scattered formation, although the momentum of ** is a bit terrifying, but the casualties caused to the Japanese army are not enough to make them retreat.
The Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets half-swam in the water and began to counterattack, using the buoyancy of the water to push forward with their legs hard. The 2nd Division was on the battlefield in China, and the soldiers were full of confidence, even though they were facing the demon that shattered countless imperial troops, Jiang Haoran. But they believed that it was Jiang Haoran who did not really face their second division, because they were the real warriors of the imperial army.
Braving the rain of bullets, thousands of Japanese soldiers actually climbed Biandan Mountain one after another, but the waiting for them was not enough to make them happy.
Suddenly, without warning, countless pieces of turf were lifted on the slope of the mountain, revealing a dingding steel helmet, and a shocking killing cry was heard, and then the light machine guns, rifles, and AK47s began to roar, and the bullets were simply impenetrable, and thousands of imperial warriors were suddenly cut down like leeks, and the cannonballs that followed were even ploughed on the ground where they were invisible.
At this point, the warriors of the imperial army understood that it was not that the opponent's troops were insufficient, but that the other side did not put heavy troops in the trenches and waited for the heavy artillery bombardment of the imperial army's planes, and most of the soldiers were hiding in foxholes on the hillside.
In view of the uncertain factors on the battlefield, the Japanese battlefield commander decisively issued the order to retreat, and the Japanese army began to retreat like a tide.
At the beginning of the attack, the Japanese commander found the intention of deliberately storing water to block the enemy, so he ordered the artillery to blow up the embankment built by **, and the flood rushed from the gap, and when the Japanese army retreated, there was little water and green grass seedlings in the rice field, only a piece of mud remained, and the retreat order was given, and the Japanese soldiers began to flee with a deep foot and a shallow foot, you must not know that the woolen cowhide boots under their feet were heavy enough, and they were more than twice as heavy after being soaked in water, and they accidentally stepped on the mud and couldn't even pull out their legs. Therefore, this retreat is also quite wolf, ** soldiers are taking advantage of the superior firepower in their hands, bullets do not need money to sweep, more than 7,000 people of the two wings of the Japanese army lost most of them in this battle. If it weren't for Jiang Haoran's order not to charge lightly at the enemy, otherwise the AK47 that followed behind would have been built in one fell swoop, and there really wasn't a sense of how many people were left?
The ** on the hillside also retreated to the trenches while the devils were retreating, after all, a simple foxhole could not stop the Japanese army's purposeful heavy bombardment.
331 Base Command.
Jiang Haoran sat firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, and good news continued to come from all directions, and on the defense line of Jigong Mountain, Hong Tianlei repelled the enemy's two attacks and annihilated more than 1,000 enemies. In the defense line of Biandan Mountain, Li Bing defeated the Japanese army and annihilated more than 3,000 enemies. On the outer defense line of Dawei Mountain, Liu Bao made full use of the mountain-shaped terrain to fight with the enemy and drag the enemy to the death.
"Junza, if this battle continues like this, I'm afraid the Japanese army can't afford it! Hahaha"! Liu He looked at the battle report and laughed.
"Chief of Staff, don't rejoice too early, the real battle hasn't started yet? The enemy invested so many troops and firepower in the first round, even regardless of losses, which shows that the Japanese army is bound to win! We may be able to hold on for three or five days, but we can really fight for ten days and half a month, not to mention the troops, we can't afford the logistics alone! Zhang Dabiao took Liu He's words and said.
"Shhh Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Liu He seemed to suddenly remember something, frowned slightly, and then said, "Logistics? Speaking of this, I remembered, in the morning, the logistics department reported to me that the transport fleet was attacked by Japanese planes on the Xiangjiang River, and more than a dozen ships of ore all sank to the bottom of the river. Hmph, it's a big deal that our fleet and convoy rest during the day and go at night, let them blow up? Throne, don't you say? ”
Jiang Haoran was lying on the chair, holding a cigarette in his hand, his hands were clasped in front of Xiong, his eyes were confused, as if he hadn't heard what they were saying at all? Liu He's call made him startled: "Oh, what did you say? ”
Liu He smiled helplessly, so he had to repeat the question just now.
Jiang Haoran just nodded lightly, and did not say too much, in his opinion, these are not big deals, and the logistics of the base are not so fragile.
The question he was thinking about was, why Xue Yue knew that the Japanese army had begun to attack the 331 base, the main offensive situation was very obvious, and he did not gather his troops to consolidate the Zhuliu defense line, and he did not even have a regular inquiry call, since the battle began, the Ninth Theater Command only made a phone call from Wu Zhiyi, chief of staff, to inform the Japanese army that the 34th Division of the Japanese army had changed guards with the Japanese troops on the Zhuliu front line, successfully cut off the Zhuliu road, and the theater had sent a grain transportation team to support the 331 base, and nothing else was said.
Jiang Haoran was puzzled, it stands to reason that the 331 base belongs to the Ninth War Zone, and for such a big military operation, the Theater Commander's Department has to inquire in detail, keep abreast of the progress of the war, and prepare for rescue, but it backfired.
When Jiang Haoran said this, Liu He and Zhang Dabiao were also silent for a long time, and the table in the war zone was really abnormal.
"Could it be the chairman's instructions?" Zhang Dabiao burst out of the sky.
Jiang Haoran and Liu He were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhang Dabiao with their eyes.
"Not? Do you think, in such a big battle, the above will ignore it, in case the 331 base is lost, except for the chairman of the committee, who in the theater command can afford this responsibility? Zhang Dabiao said.
"Hiss", Jiang Haoran gasped, and woke up the person in his dream with a word, his own expression, and the loss of the third division, not to mention, in the end he still did not get the trust of the chairman, and he was still an outcast at the critical moment. If hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ninth War Zone immediately counterattack, the 331 base will be completely overturned and become his Chiang Kai-shek, this is the political zhì, the cruel political zhì in the war!
Jiang Haoran clearly knew that this time he was fighting alone, although there were hundreds of thousands of ** soldiers on the periphery, they couldn't count on them, and they would also wait around him like vultures, just waiting for him to "die" and fly up to share his "corpse", this qiē made him feel cold when he thought about it.
