Chapter 600: Overwhelming
Li Jun, the regiment commander in the back, was happy to see that the 2nd Battalion had taken less than 20 minutes to take the Japanese position, and immediately ordered the 2nd Battalion, which had barely suffered too many losses, to continue to attack and not to stop. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the same time, the baggage company was ordered to catch up with the second battalion with a rapid march on horseback, and replenish the ammunition dropped by the second battalion in the trenches.
You must know that according to the information sent back by the special operations detachment, although the Japanese army blocking in front of them had a division, this division was a division that was disabled by the commander, and the combat unit was less than two infantry wings.
Now that he has been eaten by himself at once, one infantry wing and another infantry brigade directly means that the Japanese army has less than 2,000 combat troops in front of him.
As long as you are fast enough, you can take down the 2,000 Japanese troops before the commander of the Japanese division adjusts the deployment, and then take the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment all the way, and then kill the position of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, and use the position of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade as the battlefield, and kill a large number of Japanese troops who dare to surround and destroy themselves.
However, if the speed of his own advance is slow, then the commander of the Japanese division may adjust his deployment. He even asked for some reinforcements from the two divisions on both flanks to strengthen the defense and slow down his own assault.
At that time, even if they successfully assaulted the positions of the Japanese heavy artillery brigades, the troops would suffer heavy losses.
In order to alleviate the casualties of the troops, Li Jun could only order the second battalion not to rest, all the way directly to the Japanese heavy artillery brigade station.
In fact, the situation of the Japanese army that Li Jun faced was far worse than that of the special operations detachment.
The combat units of nearly two wings were only enough after the commander of the Japanese division gathered more than 1,000 baggage soldiers and sappers into it when he retreated.
The 4,000 Japanese troops who were eaten by Li Jun in front were real combat troops.
It is a pity that because the Liaodong Army was equipped with a large number of mortars and adopted new tactical methods, the 4,000 elite Japanese troops were wiped out almost without exerting their combat effectiveness.
The third line of defense in front of Li Jun can be said to be the best terrain and the strongest line of defense.
It is a pity that for such an important defensive line, although the commander of the Japanese division arranged nearly 2,000 people, the real elite among these 2,000 people was only more than 500 people.
Seeing that the Liaodong Army appeared outside their own defense line so quickly, even if they were stepping on a very strong defense line, many people became panicked.
Not only that, as the news of the four thousand elites in front of them being completely annihilated by the Liaodong Army spread on the defense line, the already low morale was even lower at the moment. Except for a few veteran officers who held meetings and walked around the position to boost morale, most of the remaining officers, especially the baggage soldiers and engineers who had been supplemented in, were not optimistic about the line of defense under their feet in fear.
Seeing that the hundreds of Liaodong troops who rushed over first, they did not wait for the main force, and rushed directly towards themselves.
The wing commander in charge of this line immediately realized that an opportunity to boost the morale of his troops lay ahead.
As long as he can eliminate these hundreds of Liaodong troops, the low morale of his 2,000 soldiers will definitely be improved.
Thinking of this, the excited wing captain immediately shouted an order to his subordinates
"Eight Geya Road, the Liaodong Army is too arrogant, and hundreds of people dare to attack us. All prepare for battle, destroy these hundreds of Liaodong Army, and let the Liaodong Army know that we are powerful! ”
The group leader and squadron leader immediately understood the co-captain's intentions and followed the co-captain to encourage his subordinates to prepare for battle.
The morale of the 2,000 Japanese troops seemed to be really affected at this moment, and it had improved a lot.
However, the next scene on the battlefield directly made the Japanese army understand who would clean up who next.
When the 2nd Battalion was still 300 meters away from the mountain beam defended by the Japanese army, the screams of three shells across the sky sounded over the battlefield as promised.
In the end, only one of the three shells smashed into the Japanese position on the mountain beam, and the remaining two shells fell on the slope of the mountain beam in front of and behind the position.
But even if there was only one shell smashed on the position, the violent explosion still scared the Japanese army.
"It's not good, the Liaodong Army has artillery cover, so that the troops will be hidden immediately. All squadron leaders and squad leaders, take care of their subordinates, don't let them run around on the battlefield and affect morale! The co-captain, who was taken aback, frowned and hurriedly ordered.
However, the special operators who operated the mortars did not intend to give them this opportunity.
As soon as the wing commander's order was exited, the piercing screams of dozens of shells cutting through the sky at the same time reached his ears, and then a violent explosion sounded in the position around him.
The veteran was okay, and in the face of the shelling, he knew to lie in the trench to avoid the shelling and wait for the shelling to end.
The more than 1,000 baggage soldiers and sappers on the position were not so lucky, and when the shells exploded, many of them stood in the trenches in confusion and did not know what to do.
And the fragments of the shells are the favorite of them.
The shells exploded, and the baggage soldiers and sappers with confused and overwhelmed faces as long as they stood within the radius of the shells, there was no doubt that they were blown up in pieces, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
The battlefield created by the artillery was the most tragic, coupled with the mortar shells, as if they didn't need money, they kept smashing into the position and exploding, throwing a large number of residual broken arms and internal organs that were blown out, making the whole battlefield look like a bloody Shura hell everywhere.
When have the baggage soldiers and sappers who rarely go to the battlefield come across this kind of picture.
Listening to the explosions and screams that kept ringing in my ears, I saw the broken arms and minced flesh that kept falling to the ground around me like rain, and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. Many of the Japanese soldiers who were still alive turned pale all of a sudden.
As for their hearts, they are filled with fear and uneasiness.
When the first baggage soldier couldn't stand this atmosphere, vented his inner fear by yelling and screaming, and ran backwards without dying, the other Japanese soldiers who couldn't stand this atmosphere fled for their lives.
Although the officers lying in the trenches stood up in time to stop them, and even shot several deserters on the spot. But in the face of hundreds of deserters, such a means paled in comparison.
Within a few minutes, almost all the remaining baggage soldiers and sappers on the battlefield had deserted. A lost dog fled for his life.
Seeing that more and more people around him began to flee for their lives, the veterans on the battlefield, who were already small, also began to be moved.
Because, from time to time, the shells that fell from the sky took the lives of some comrades.
According to this style of play, when the shelling is over, there must be few hundred veterans left. When the time comes, without the help of recruits, you will still not be able to hold your position.
Therefore, as soon as the baggage soldiers and sappers fled, the remaining veterans knew that the position could not be held.
Since they couldn't hold it, these veterans also subconsciously had the idea of retreating in their hearts, looking at their squadron leader and group leader, waiting for them to give the order to retreat. (To be continued.) )
