Chapter 209: Battle
Huang Wenlie was worried that the strength of the new 200 regiment was not enough, and it was even more embarrassing to lose a big defeat than the last one.
That's why I always say that Huang Wenlie's ability to march and fight is unquestionable, but his adaptability in other aspects is not even as good as a small platoon commander under me.
I said, "Danza, do you still have to worry about this kind of thing?" ”
Huang Wenlie glanced at me and said suspiciously, "Otherwise? Isn't the most important thing for us to be the source of soldiers? ”
I said, "Of course, the question of the source of soldiers is important. But for Shangfeng, it's just the simplest question, as long as you say a word, won't the military department immediately start to solve it for you? ”
Huang Wenlie still didn't turn the corner and said, "Will the military department listen to me?" If I want someone, I'll give it to someone? From the first battle across the river to the present, I have asked for several reinforcements, but the military headquarters has barely sent down less than 100 people, you know. ”
I laughed and said, "This time and that time." Our regiment had just conquered the first defensive position of the Japanese army within an hour, which made the commanders of the military headquarters breathe a sigh of relief. You just care if they want planes and artillery now, I think the military department will also consider sending them to you, otherwise, will they change their troops to fight Moyunling? How can it be good to fight well, but not to fight well? Who is responsible? ”
Huang Wenlie understood a little and said, "What do you mean...... Taking the opportunity for extortion? ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Tuanza, what are we extorting?" We are working hard now, but with this victory, we will strengthen our strength as soon as possible while the trust of the upper peak in us has not yet passed. Didn't you also say that with the current strength of our regiment, if you want to conquer Moyunling, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! ”
Huang Wenlie nodded and said, "That's right, what Camp Commander An said makes sense!" Signal soldier, immediately send a report to the military department......"
Huang Wenlie asked the military department for weapons and equipment, and everything we needed. I sent someone to check the two tunnels connecting the main peak positions, and Qiu Ba returned after entering the tunnels after a while, and said, "Battalion commander, the devil is already in the middle section, and the tunnel has collapsed, and it is impossible to pass through it again." ”
From this point of view, this time the Japanese army does not plan to recapture the first defensive position, they want to stick to the main peak position! The first defensive position really has no value in recapture, and after more than a dozen shellings, it is already full of holes, and the only value is to play a buffering role. Now that it has been lost again, the Japanese army simply gave up completely.
I held up my binoculars and looked at the main peak position of the Japanese army, and the ring fortifications on the periphery leaned on the rows of pillboxes. For these ring fortifications, I don't think the problem is too big, it is just convenient for the Japanese tactics in the pillboxes to be set up. Behind the ring fortifications, those reinforced concrete pillboxes are the deadliest weapons of the Japanese army!
As I had guessed, a few hours later, 500 additional troops crossed the Nu River from the east bank to report to the New 200th Regiment, and they were all assigned to the New 200th Regiment.
What is even more rare is that almost half of these 500 additional soldiers are veterans who have fought in battle, and the others, even if they are recruits, are also trained recruits, and they are by no means rammed goods that have just been brought from the Zhuangding battalion.
The order said that the U.S. Flying Tigers would listen to our dispatch and cooperate with the new 200 regiment in this attack. This is an unprecedented treatment, and this kind of treatment is so good that I think that only by breaking my bones can I repay Shangfeng's kindness.
The U.S. Flying Tigers is another name for the U.S. bomber formation, which has always been transferred by the military department, and now it has directly given the transfer power to a regiment commander, which shows that Shangfeng attaches great importance to this battle, this is a battle to be won at any cost!
I know that a large part of the reason for this is also due to the information we brought back from our last reconnaissance across the river, which emphasized that the Japanese pillboxes were impregnable and could not be blown up by ordinary artillery shells, and that if you want to destroy these pillboxes, it is best to use aerial bombs to carry out targeted bombing.
Inside the front command of the new 200 regiment.
Huang Wenlie said: "The remnants of the Japanese army who fled back from the first defense, plus the original Japanese defenders, are retreating to the main peak of Moyunling to arrange defenses. I now have good news for you, the Allied bombers blew up the Japanese army's road supply line earlier today, and the Japanese army is probably going to fight us hungry for a while, and I think this is the best time for our army to attack! Tell us what you think. ”
Huang Wenlie is now full of ambition, and he can now deploy not only the new 200 regiments, but also the two main regiments that are being repaired on the west bank. At today's operational meeting, in addition to several battalion commanders and staff officers under him, the commanders of the two main regiments were also ordered to attend the meeting as observers.
This is a great honor, and it is basically a treatment only reserved for division commanders, and I estimate that the military department has already drafted a report on Huang Wenlie's promotion to division commander, and it is only waiting to be submitted to Minister He of the Ministry of National Defense for approval. Promotion in the line of fire is a common means of spur and incentive in our army, and I think this time will be no exception.
A regiment commander of the main regiment said: "Commander Huang, the military headquarters ordered our two regiments to listen to your dispatch, if you have any orders, you just command, we are all your subordinates now." ”
Huang Wenlie bowed and said, "Don't dare." Huang just won a battle by luck, but this battle was not enough to shake the foundation of the Japanese army. If you have any opinions, please put them forward in time, and everyone will brainstorm and refer to them together. ”
Zhang Da stood up and said: "Tuanzuo, I think we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give the devil a chance to breathe, if the devil is given time to calmly arrange defense, it will be unfavorable for our army to attack!" ”
Huang Wenlie nodded and said, "What Camp Commander Zhang said is very good, and I have this intention. What do you think? ”
Zhou Dalei said: "I have no opinion, I agree with Battalion Commander Zhang's statement, at this time, it is useless to say any tactics, that is, when the bayonet is desperate!" ”
The two main forces also agreed, saying: "The battle has reached this level, there is no chance of opportunism, and attacking step by step is the only choice." ”
Huang Wenlie turned his face to me and said, "Battalion Commander An, you made the first contribution in the previous battle, how do you think we should attack next?" ”
I said: "Tuanzuo, what the commanders said is very correct, the devil has no way to retreat now, and will not leave us too many flaws, now is the battle, we only have to fight hard!" ”
Huang Wenlie stood up and said solemnly: "Okay! Since everyone agrees...... Now I command! ”
Everyone stood up and waited for Huang Wenlie to assign tasks.
"Two regiment commanders, your regiment is responsible for the flank attack, and my regiment is responsible for the main attack, I hope we can work together to conquer Moyunling as soon as possible!" Huang Wenlie said.
This is the most conventional way of playing, and it is the only way we can come up with it, but fighting this kind of tough battle is the most depleting of troops. In the following time, we will have to get used to watching the comrades around us keep falling and dying.
