Chapter 1247: Miscalculation (Second Update!) )
On the way to Songling Village in Linfen, when Wang Ping was riding a war horse, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong chased after him.
"Commander, the Invalids are in a hurry!"
"They split the strength of two brigades from the main force of the devils! The armored assault battalion also rushed to the battlefield and attacked them from the backpack of the devils! ”
"The little devil who was blocked in Songling Village has improved his offense to defense, and it seems that he intends to wait for dawn!"
A smile quickly flashed on Wang Ping's anxious face, and then replied: "God really help me, God is helping us with the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"It's one o'clock in the morning, and it's at least six hours before dawn when the little devil plane comes to kill you. As long as they grasp these six hours well, then the pressure on us to fight during the day will be much less, and the casualties will be greatly reduced! ”
"Immediately send them a telegram with an order: divide the troops into two, divide at least three battalions of troops under the cover of half artillery and half armored vehicles on the battlefield, and take down the two thousand little devils they divided before dawn!"
"Other troops, under the cover of artillery and armored vehicles, launch an attack on the main forces of the devils!"
"Focus on mass destruction of devil soldiers, and kill the most devil soldiers with the smallest casualties. Don't worry about the ammunition trenches, didn't the armored battalion rob most of the ammunition supply of the devil's shoelaces a few hours ago, send all those ammunition, especially the shells, and smash them on the devil, even if one mountain artillery shell kills only one devil, or even two shells kill a devil, we will win this battle! ”
After deciding to stay and hold out until dawn, the captain of the guard transferred Lieutenant General Fujino to a shell shooting corner and set up a temporary command center.
"The commander of the division, the two brigades in front of them are in a hurry, and the Eighth Route Army that surrounds them is very strong, and it is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. They were not equipped with artillery, they rushed twice to both flanks of the encirclement and were beaten back, and they also lost an infantry squadron! The chief of staff reported with a telegram he had just received.
"Then hold on to the spot until dawn, and when the air force arrives, we will attack back and forth and kill the Eighth Route Army blocking in our middle!" Fujino decided to say without thinking.
"That's what they mean!" The chief of staff hastened to answer!
"The two brigades have formed a joint command and are building ring fortifications in place, ready to hold their positions to the death!"
"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied with satisfaction.
Staring at the chief of staff, he continued to ask: "Has the infantry brigade behind the palace blocked the attack of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"Hey!" The chief of staff affirmed.
"They destroyed two armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, and the remaining more than a dozen armored vehicles withdrew from the battle directly when the situation was not good. The rearguard troops are digging trenches and fortifications in place to block a new round of fortifications that the Eighth Route Army may launch! ”
"I can finally rest assured!" Fujino said with a long breath.
Then he sat down on top of an ammunition box and continued to order: "Troops without combat missions hurry up and rest, we will not have time to rest after dawn!" ”
After the chief of staff left, Fujino sat on top of the ammunition box and closed his eyes to recuperate~
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......"
I don't know how long it took, but the screaming of shells across the sky sounded again, and then a violent explosion sounded not far away.
"It's an artillery bombardment, at least thirty artillery pieces of various calibers are facing us, the troops are scattered and hidden, they don't have much ammunition, they can't fight for too long~" Rubbing Lieutenant General Fujino, who stood up from the ammunition box, made a judgment with a frown.
In the battle with the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army's favorite thing was artillery.
Because of their own advantages, the artillery of the Imperial Army often pressed the artillery of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield. After the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was defeated, the Imperial Army could use artillery shells to wreak havoc on the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, inflicting a large number of casualties on them. At that time, the only thing that awaits the infantry may be the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
But now, as soon as Lieutenant General Fujino heard the sound of the cannon, his brows involuntarily furrowed!
The ammunition is gone, and the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, which has always been despised by itself, can completely shell the imperial army with impunity!
The lethality of artillery on the battlefield was too great, and even if the imperial army was ready to dodge the shelling, casualties were absolutely inevitable when such a fierce artillery fire fell down.
At present, the food under his command has suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops still have very important tasks to carry out after they arrive in Taiyue. Every soldier left is very important to Fujino, and it hurts him to lose even one person in the shelling, not to mention the hundreds of casualties in an artillery bombardment of this scale in front of him......
Fujino's judgment made the panicked atmosphere of the temporary command much better.
However, as the minutes and seconds passed, the explosions that kept ringing in my ears still did not mean to stop, and this tense and panicked atmosphere once again permeated the temporary headquarters.
"Division commander, something is wrong, the shelling of the Eighth Route Army has been going on for ten minutes, and they have at least 800 shells at us, and they have not stopped at all!"
Fujino couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "Could it be that my judgment is wrong!" ”
"The exception is the new regiment attacking themselves, they have plenty of ammunition to fire shells at themselves regardless of consumption!"
"Sir, the two brigades in front are in an emergency!" At this moment, the radio operator next to him suddenly stood up and reported.
"They were heavily shelled by the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army, because the troops were crowded together and there were no anti-artillery fortifications, and the losses of the troops were great. If the Eighth Route Army, which was besieging them, launched a full-scale attack, the troops would most likely hold out until dawn! ”
Fujino was angry, and he was also anxious, and scolded loudly: "Eight Grid Yalu, hateful shelling, why don't you stop!" ”
"Stopped, the shelling of the Eighth Route Army stopped!" Perhaps because Fujino's scolding worked, the explosions that had been surrounding their ears finally stopped. The chief of staff next to him was very excited and shouted.
"Dada~"
It lasted less than five seconds, and the sudden dense gunfire made the smile freeze directly on his face.
"Sir, Eighth Route Army, there are a large number of Eighth Route Army troops around us, and they are storming us!" A lieutenant rushed in in a panic and reported, his face blackened by the gunfire.
Before Fujino could speak, another officer rushed in!
"Sir, the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army have misunderstood our left flank and are attacking us with a large number of infantry...... The outer line of defense has been broken through by them and is launching a surprise attack on us in depth! ”
A telegraph operator next to him put down his headphones and rubbed them on his feet, handed over a telegram and reported it.
"The first two brigades were also fiercely attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and there were armored vehicles to cover them. They were not equipped with rapid-fire guns, they could only organize death squads to counterattack, the effect was very poor, the casualties were large, and the first ring fortifications had already been broken through! ”
"Sir, the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army that entered our position turned around and did not continue to assault deeply! But ......"
"But what? It's all this time, what else can't be said! Lieutenant General Fujino finally uttered the first words after the Eighth Route Army's shelling stopped.
If you look closely, you will find that Lieutenant General Fujino's face has turned red from anger and grievance!
