I don't know if the chief of staff did it on purpose, but as soon as the time reached the half hour he had agreed, he came in, and his face was very unsightly.

"Say it! No need to hesitate and hide! Lieutenant General Fujino, who had already realized something from his face, took a deep breath and said.

"Hey!" The chief of staff replied stubbornly.

"Division commander, as you judged during the shelling, the casualties of the troops were very large!"

"The three artillery attacks caused us a total of more than 820 casualties, more than 650 people died directly in battle and failed to rescue in time, and more than 170 people were injured, basically losing their combat effectiveness!"

"In other words, after three artillery attacks, the Eighth Route Army killed one of our infantry brigades without losing a single soldier?" Despite being prepared, Fujino was frightened by this number and asked rhetorically with a calm face.

"Yes!" The chief of staff affirmed.

Fujino was stunned for a long time without speaking, and it was not until the plane escorting the sky happened to be whistling overhead that he suddenly reacted. Then staring at the chief of staff, he continued to ask: "How many people in the army can continue to fight now!" ”

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "There are more than 2,400 people, of which two infantry brigades have basically remained full because they have not participated in the battle, and each has lost less than one squadron ~ more than half of the infantry brigade, and the other is the artillery that each unit luckily returned in the two battles last night." And finally, there are the guards, with almost no casualties! ”

Fujino immediately made a decision: "All artillery is replenished with two infantry brigades, so that the two infantry brigades are full." The extra troops complement another brigade and ensure that this brigade has two full squadrons! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"Humble guarantee to complete the task within half an hour!"

Fujino then made a decision: "Then we'll leave in half an hour!" ”

The heavy casualties of the troops made Fujino especially cautious in the following use of troops.

Because the forward troops undertook the task of tentative offensives and were the key targets of the Eighth Route Army, they were easily annihilated by the Eighth Route Army. Fujino directly reduced the forward force from an infantry squad to a combat detachment.

"Buzz ......"

In the roar of the huge engine, the silver-white plane was like a cannonball falling from the sky, smashing down to the ground in a daze!

When there are still 500 meters above the ground, quickly raise your head and climb. At this moment, two bombs with a screeching sound broke free from the shackles of the fuselage and continued to smash into the ground along the trajectory of the plane that had just dived.

"Boom ......"

Two explosions rang out, and in the explosion that shook the ground and shook the mountains, two thick black smoke rose into the air. The huge fireball quickly spread around, enveloping the entire area of tens of meters around the impact point......

After dropping six bombs in a row, and the thick smoke of gunpowder enveloped the entire position, the devil infantry began to attack.

An infantry squadron lined up in a skirmisher line, armed with rifles, and under the cover of a dozen light and heavy machine guns behind it, quickly approached the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.

The basic anti-artillery hole that was almost blown up, the deputy commander of the fourth battalion got up from the ground with a painful face.

Hearing the sound of warning gunshots already sounding outside, he immediately shouted: "If you can still move, go out with me to fight devils!" ”

After speaking, the deputy battalion commander picked up a light machine gun, picked up three magazines, and rushed out of the anti-artillery hole!

When we entered the position in the morning, a battalion of more than 400 people repelled the attack of the devils, and after two consecutive air raids, there were not even 150 people still alive.

It was no longer possible to see where the trenches were, and more than a hundred people were scattered in the craters.

"Shoot, repel the little devil in front of us, and we will retreat!" The deputy battalion commander shouted.

A light machine gun was fired on the ground and set fire to a devil squad leader 100 meters away.

The bullets swept in the face and smashed the leader of the devil squad and a soldier next to him into a sieve on the spot.

"Da Da Da ......"

At this moment, a shuttle of heavy machine gun bullets suddenly flew towards the deputy battalion commander.

Alert, he dropped his machine gun and threw himself into the crater, one of the bullets flying backwards almost close to his scalp.

Gu Bu's head was bleeding slimy blood, holding a light machine gun, and he felt a crater next to him as soon as he rolled, and continued to shoot!

"Division commander, there are still a lot of Eighth Route Army on the position, and the casualties of the warriors are almost half an infantry squad!" The chief of staff next to him reminded.

Fujino's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the strong combat power of the new regiment was once again beyond his imagination.

The air force bombed twice, and there were still people alive on the position, and Fujino himself couldn't figure out how they survived.

Under the reminder of the chief of staff, he gritted his teeth and replied: "I would rather use more aerial bombs to reduce the casualties." Ordering the attacking troops to retreat immediately, and the planes continued to bomb, I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army in front of me is iron-clad, and so many bombs can't kill them! ”

Half an hour later, Fujino finally took the position that had been abandoned by the 4th Battalion.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was another gunfire and explosions in front of him that he hated so much at this moment!

"Sir, there is still a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army ahead...... The attacking forces had retreated, but still lost more than twenty imperial troops. They judged that at least three hundred Eighth Route Corps were held on the position, armed with at least twenty light and heavy machine guns? A communications soldier rushed over and reported.

The chief of staff looked at Fujino, and his face couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

"Division commander, this is already the fourth blocking position we have encountered. Although the casualties of each position were not large, the total number of people still exceeded two hundred~"

"And it takes at least an hour for each position we take, it's almost noon now, there are still positions in front of us, I suspect there are such blocking positions behind, one by one let us attack, drag us here but it's dark, and then kill us!"

Fujino replied with a calm face: "It's not a doubt, it's a certainty!" ”

"Our opponent is too cunning, if I guess correctly, since we set off last night, we have stepped into this big trap they prepared for us step by step!"

"Eight Grid Yalu, this time against the new group, we lost again! They must have judged in advance that we were going to Taiyue, and then prepared this net for us here! ”

"Then there's nothing we can do?" The chief of staff asked with an unwilling face!

Fujino shook his head and replied helplessly: "With so many troops, if you want to take Taiyue into a formation, it is impossible!" ”

"If you want to ask the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army to encircle and intercept, now there is only one last way......

The chief of staff hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

"Scatter and break out......" Fujino replied in a surprising voice!

"There must not be many new regiments here, otherwise they would not have shelled and not attacked in the last hours of last night. Only if the troops are dispersed, can we take advantage of the limited strength of the new regiment and withdraw more troops from their base areas! ”
