Chapter 1488: Who Said Eight Roads Are Poorly Equipped and Easy to Bully?
It's not just the soldiers on these battlefields who are crazy and desperate, but even the transport teams that transport supplies to the front line are extremely crazy!
Experienced Japanese soldiers know that in the past, when these material transport teams saw them across several mountains, they would throw things away faster than dogs, and nine times out of ten, those sacks and other things were filled with either straw or leaves, and even the Japanese soldiers learned to judge what these supply teams were transporting from the gait and body shape of these supply teams.
But this time, not to mention a few mountains, even if the distance is only a few hundred meters, these supply team members can carry sacks and push wheelbarrows to continue to rush in the direction of the national army, and even sometimes, these supply team members will divide a part of them to block the Japanese army, and the rest of the people can often carry the weight of several people on their backs in the swishing bullet rain to continue to rush forward, and even some people were shot and died, and they were still holding the supplies in their arms, and their heads were in the direction of the supply team!
Therefore, even if the Japanese army frantically resisted, the country. On the positions where the officers and men were stationed, the supplies could not be completely cut off, and they always maintained sufficient combat effectiveness.
"Yaga, what are these pigs crazy about......
"Yes, I've never seen the Chinese army in Chongqing so crazy......"
All of this made the Japanese army more and more frightened as soon as they saw that the national army would pounce on them like crazy, looking at the beastly crazy eyes of the transport and supply team members who dared to turn back and desperately carry stones and stones, even these Japanese soldiers who claimed to be not afraid of death couldn't help but tremble their legs and stomachs.
After all, these Japanese troops are just not afraid of death, but the opposite country. Soldiers, that is obviously not life, it is a rank higher than them!
A full day and a night passed, and not only did the Japanese army not form an encirclement, but also failed to occupy a decent position, and the angry Japanese generals were furious, and while ordering to continue the fierce attack, they sent a report to Okamura Ninji.
"Eight Ge Yalu, what's going on?"
Okamura Ninji received a telegram from the Sakurai Division and the Harada Division, and jumped up from the stool in horror and shouted: "In one day and one night, all units of the Shina Army have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and we have not been able to capture any dangerous places?" This, this, this, this ......"
He didn't even know how to describe his feelings, was this still the kind of army he remembered as if it were a castle of sand washed away by a flood when he met the Imperial army?
Attack a little, suddenly come to the aid from all directions, just like the hornets that blew up a swarm, this is still the retreating and fleeing Chongqing Front that is as fast as the wind, outflanking its Xu Rulin, burning, killing and looting and invading like fire, and the friendly army is difficult to move like a mountain?
"Not only did the attack make no progress, but the Imperial Allied Army of all parts of our army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the Imperial soldiers also suffered more than 2,000 casualties!"
The commanders of the Sakurai Division, the Harada Division, and other divisions said angrily: "Your Excellency Okamura, it's not a way to fight like this, even if our army can finally annihilate the enemy at Nakajo Mountain, I'm afraid it will pay a huge price, if we attack forcibly, after this battle, I'm afraid that the hegemony of the empire's East Asian co-prosperity circle will never be completed......"
"Keep attacking, I'll see how long these pigs can hold out!"
Okamura Ninji said angrily, but it was expected that Sakurai Harada and other divisions would be extremely difficult to make much progress in a short period of time, so he ordered the Ushijima division on the eastern front to strengthen the offensive and see if it could make a breakthrough from the Eighth Route position.
The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is not bad, but this is mainly because the fighting will of the Eighth Route Army is much more tenacious than that of the Chongqing Front Army, and in terms of equipment, the Eighth Route Army still has a big gap compared with the Chongqing Front Army.
However, this time, the Chongqing Front's will to fight is infinitely higher, and it is definitely comparable to the tenacity of the Eighth Route Army's will to fight, so the gap between weapons and equipment will be revealed.
In the same situation, it is obvious that on the side of the Ushijima division, it is easier to break through a little.
Not to mention it, as soon as he connected the phone call from the Ushijima Division on the Eastern Front, Okamura Ninji heard the Ushijima Division's constant complaints - who told you that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route were extremely poor?
In the past two years, the Jin-Cha-Ji region has fought with the Japanese army countless times, and it has been a series of major battles.
A year ago, in the battle of Datong and Taiyuan, although Taiyuan was not taken in the end, in this battle, the Eighth Route annihilated thousands of Japanese puppet troops and captured a large number of good guns and artillery.
The battles around Trojan Horse County were fought one after another, and countless captures were made, and with the establishment of the arsenal, the equipment of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment and Lei Ming and other units was replaced, except for some of the armed militia and detachments, the rest were given to the Eighth Road.
Not to mention, the Guoxiong rifles produced by the arsenal, imitations of various large and small artillery fires, etc., were given to the Eighth Road if they were not exhausted.
Moreover, for this Hundred Regiments Battle, Lu Yuan and Yan'an planned for a whole year, and Yan'an mobilized a large number of superior weapons from the rest of the areas where the war was not too urgent, and armed the troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi who might participate in this battle!
At present, the Ushijima Division is facing 50,000 or 60,000 people from the Eighth Route, of which one-third is equipped with 38 large covers, and the second is also 79 rifles, and so on, among which there are several reinforced companies of national male rifles, and there are countless heavy firepower such as artillery fire, grenadiers, machine guns, etc., and there are even more mines, grenades, grenades, and so on.
In the past, the old-fashioned weapons such as the old sleeve singles and one that were common in the Eighth Route Army were almost impossible to see!
Such firepower, not to mention worse than the national army, is definitely only high, not low!
Originally, the Ushijima Division also looked at the Eight Roads with old eyes, and saw that the firepower of these Eight Roads was not enough, and they charged violently after the indiscriminate bombardment, as if they wanted to swallow these Eight Roads in one bite.
Unexpectedly, the fate of looking at people with old eyes is miserable.
Almost as soon as it came up, the Ushijima Division was attacked head-on by the Eighth Route, and the Japanese troops who were smashed by bullets and grenades like a rainstorm of bullets and grenades were dizzy, and the reinforced companies that were all equipped with Kunio rifles were like sharp knives that pierced the weak point of the Ushijima Division's attack line, and they were nailed to the attack line of the Ushijima Division, and they could not be pulled out.
Just to pull out the nails composed of these national male rifles, the Ushijima Division used several brigades of more than 2,000 troops, and paid the price of 500 dead in the battle, so they only forced these nails back, not annihilated!
Thinking of this, all the Japanese troops and officers and generals of the Ushijima Division wanted to cry aggrievedly, and said in their hearts that if the Sakurai Harada Division felt that the Eighth Route was easy to fight, then they would go on their way, and our division would go to fight the troops of the Chongqing Front Army to the death!
