Chapter 285: Tangled Breakout

"Eight Grid Tooth Road...... How can such an important matter not be reported in time? After listening to the chief of staff's answer, the division commander was not in a good mood to celebrate, and he scolded the chief of staff. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The commander of a brigade next to him also realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked the division commander regardless of it: "Without food, no matter how good the tactical tactics are, they will be useless...... If the Liaodong Army knew about our Achilles' heel, they didn't need to attack, and they could trap us here just by sleeping...... Division commander, we must make a decision early......"

Seeing that the division commander had a gloomy face and did not speak, in order to make up for his mistake just now, the chief of staff hurriedly analyzed.

"Division commander, there are two results......

"The Liaodong Army did not know that we were short of food and continued to attack us. We, on the other hand, will find a way to inflict a large number of casualties on the Liaodong Army in two days, and conduct a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army in advance to defeat them......"

"The second result is that the Liaodong Army knows that we are short of food, so they surround us and do not fight ......"

"In this case, we have only one way to choose, and that is to break through, and break through as soon as possible......"

The brigade commander who had just spoken continued to ask: "How can you judge whether the Liaodong Army knows that we are short of food.......

"...... this afternoon," the chief of staff replied without thinking.

"In the morning, we eliminated more than 200 people of the Liaodong Army, plus the initiative on the battlefield was in the hands of the Liaodong Army. In order not to affect the morale of the troops. As long as the Liaodong Army does not know that we are short of food, it will launch a retaliatory attack on us......"

"If the Liaodong Army knows that we are short of food, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the Liaodong Army will definitely stop attacking us."

At this time, the division commander with a gloomy face finally spoke.

In front of a few subordinates, he decisively ordered: "Then we will wait for another afternoon......

"If the Liaodong Army does not continue to attack this afternoon, then we will break through in the evening......"

Under the condition that the Liaodong Army has superiority in strength and firepower, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial for the devils to break through at night.

So, even if they knew that a breakthrough operation would be carried out at night, there would be a lot of unnecessary losses in the troops. Several subordinates did not object.

It was soon six o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the darkening sky around them, all the senior officers, including the division commander, knew that the Achilles heel of their lack of food was already known to the Liaodong Army.

In order to live. Also in order to die more meaningfully. Breaking through has become the only choice for more than 2,000 devils.

At one o'clock in the morning of the evening, the Liaodong Army position, except for the guard post, was still fighting against sleepiness, staring at a pair of eyes. Keep an eye on the outside of the devil's position.

The rest of the soldiers all shrank in the trenches to rest and replenish their strength.

And the devil's position in the encirclement, although it was also pitch black.

However, under the cover of night, a group of devils, led by officers, left the defensive position and assembled in the direction of their own breakthrough.

A very heavy machine gun was also set up at the breakthrough selected by the devils.

As soon as the breakout battle began, these heavy machine guns would shoot a rain of heavy machine gun bullets into the breach.

In order to increase the odds of a successful breakout. The commander of the Devil Division did not gather all the troops together for a breakthrough.

Two infantry squadrons, each with two heavy machine gun squadrons, broke through and attacked on the east and west sides of the encirclement, disrupting the judgment of the Liaodong Army and dispersing the strength and firepower of the Liaodong Army.

"There are more than a thousand people left, under the personal command of the division commander.

At the right time, he broke through to the north and attacked, and with an unexpectedly fierce attack, he quickly opened a breakthrough and jumped out of the heavy encirclement of the Liaodong Army.

"Da da da ......" accompanied by the sound of dense heavy machine gun fire sounded on the battlefield. The devils who covered the breakthrough to the east quickly pounced on the position of the Liaodong Army.

At the beginning, the Liaodong Army, which had only a dozen alert posts in a sober state, was directly caught off guard by the sudden attack of the devils. Let the devil rush to a position less than fifty meters away from the encirclement.

However, as more and more Liaodong troops began to react from the shock and join the fight.

The offensive momentum of the devil was slowly suppressed. After all, the devil infantry here is only one squadron at full duty.

Suddenly gunfire rang out on the battlefield. woke up the troops who were resting in the trenches, and also woke up Yang Xingguo.

As soon as the gunfire reached his ears, Yang Xingguo realized that the devils who were unwilling to be starved to death here were about to break through.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Xingguo, who was in a hurry, walked into the temporary headquarters, he bumped into Zhang Hu, who was about to come to find him.

"Commander, the devils are starting to break through......"

"They divided into two teams, one to the east and the other to the west......"

"Because the breakthrough firepower of the two devils is about the same, we haven't figured out which direction the main force of the devils intends to break through from......"

Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed and he said: "The devil is very cunning, in this way, we will not be able to concentrate our forces and firepower in a short period of time to deal with their real breakthrough troops." After all, we don't know where the devil really broke through......"

"Yes, Commander......" Wang Hu replied with a look of approval.

"The two breakout troops of the devils have dozens of heavy machine guns for fire cover, coupled with the cover of the night, we can't figure out the real direction of the devil's breakthrough at all......"

"In addition, the troops defending these two directions sent people to report, because the devil's breakthrough firepower was too fierce, and the troops were almost pressed and beaten by the devil. In order to hold the position and block the devils, they asked for fire support ......"

Yang Xingguo nodded and asked, "What are you going to do......

"From the south and from the north, a heavy machine gun company was drawn from each side. Block the devil's offensive first, as long as the morning dawns, the devil's real breakthrough direction will be exposed in front of us. When the time comes, he can't run even if he wants to......"

"No......" Yang Xingguo refused without thinking about it.

After frowning again, he replied: "The troops in the north and south directions cannot move......"

"The devil is too cunning, if he can send two breakthrough troops, then it is possible to send three or even four breakthrough troops, so we have to guard against ......"

Zhang Hu first nodded in agreement, then shook his head again, and finally said: "But, commander, except for the defenders in the north and south directions, we don't have any extra troops to reinforce the east and west directions......"

"Artillery, we can order the artillery to provide artillery support to the defenders in the east and west directions......" Yang Xingguo decisively ordered.

From the beginning of the battle, the commander of the Devil Division lurked in an anti-artillery hole in the northern position.

When he learned that the Liaodong Army in front of him had not shown the slightest sign of movement from beginning to end.

The division commander knew that his plan to weaken the strength of the Liaodong Army in front of him by attacking the east and the west was likely to be bankrupt.

Even so, the division commander still held on to a glimmer of hope and did not order the troops to begin a breakthrough and continue to wait.

However, at this moment, the screaming sound of shells crossing the sky suddenly reached the ears of the division commander. Then, violent explosions began to sound in the east and west directions of the battlefield.

As soon as the artillery of the Liaodong Army entered the battle, the division commander knew that his time was running out.

The two squadrons simply could not hold out for long under such heavy artillery fire.

Once these two squadrons are crippled and the offensive momentum weakens, the cunning Liaodong Army will definitely see its breakthrough plan immediately.

When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to break through. (To be continued.) )
