Chapter 821: Brigade Commander's Confidence

readx;?“ Eight Grid Tooth Road, it turned out to be a treacherous thunder again, the independent regiment is really too cunning! "Looking at the corpses of devils and wounded people lying on the ground in the trenches, the squadron leader who luckily did not touch the thunder, like an angry lion, scolded loudly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After scolding, facing the forest that was quiet again not far away, he could only hold back his anger in his heart.

Thinking that the brigade commander was still waiting for his own report below, the squadron leader, who was slowly regaining his composure, immediately ordered the infantry squad with the smallest losses to stay in position to prevent the independent regiment from killing another horse gun. Then he quickly withdrew from the position with the rest of his men and the wounded.

Knowing that his attacking force had lost almost two more squads in a series of strikes, the brigade commander was also very angry, and subconsciously wanted to order his subordinates to find the sneak attackers and then break them into pieces.

However, the last shred of reason allowed him to suppress the anger in his heart for a short time, and then decisively ordered the troops to continue in the direction of the independent regiment's secret camp.

As soon as the devil began to march, the sneak attack troops moved, and began to use various means to slow down the devil's attack and kill and injure the devil.

At the cost of two hours and more than 100 casualties, he finally walked forward seven or eight miles of mountain roads, and the mountainside position occupied by another independent regiment was in front of the devil.

The aggrieved brigade commander still adopted the tactic of attacking all along the way, covering with a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron, and an infantry squadron attacking in three directions, intending to eliminate the officers and men of the independent regiment standing in front of him with a single attack.

As a result, just like the attack just now, a fierce punch that had accumulated great strength seemed to hit cotton, leaving the brigade commander with nowhere to vent his anger.

And that's not even counting the fact that the position of the Independent Regiment, which was barely defended by troops, used grenades to sneak attack, set up tricks, kill back carbines, and other means, and once again took away seventy or eighty lives of his attacking troops.

"Baga, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Independent Regiment is too cunning, every time it destroys dozens of us, twice it is an infantry squadron. Coupled with the casualties caused by the sneak attack of the Independent Regiment along the way, I roughly calculated that when we fought all the way to the secret camp of the Independent Regiment, we would lose at least 1,500 warriors. ”

"Nani? How could it be possible to lose so much, did you miscalculate! The brigade commander asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

The chief of staff analyzed: "General, don't forget, yesterday we lost six or seven hundred people on one day's march, and today we lost more than two hundred and sixty people in less than twenty miles of marching, and there are at least fifty miles from here to the secret camp of the independent regiment, and it is completely possible to lose another five hundred people at this rate of loss at present!" ”

As soon as I heard the chief of staff explain, it was really like this.

In an instant, the disbelief on the brigade commander's face was replaced by heaviness, and then he frowned and scolded.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, this loss is too great. Even if we reach the secret camp of the Independent Regiment, we may not be able to find the main force of the Independent Regiment to fight a decisive battle with them. If you lose so many troops without even touching the main force of the independent regiment, how will you fight the next battle? ”

Fortunately, at this time, the wing commander next to him reminded the brigade commander in time that there were three garrison wings involved in the encirclement and suppression operation.

The strength of the independent regiment is limited, and since so many troops have been deployed to sneak attack and block themselves along the way, the other three garrison wings must have suffered very few sneak attacks, and the troop losses are also very small. When the time comes to encounter the main force of the independent regiment, let the three garrison wings that assist in the encirclement and suppression operation rush to the front.

The brigade commander was in a much better mood and ordered the troops to continue to advance. But the chief of staff's frowning brow did not let go, this encirclement and suppression has continued until now, and it has made him realize that this independent regiment that has just emerged is not a rabble in the eyes of his superiors.

Although he had not yet encountered the main force of the Independence Regiment, the various sneak attacks that dazzled him along the way and cost him dearly had already made him realize the cunning and difficulty of the Independence Regiment.

In the face of such an undisciplined opponent, even if he is the chief of staff of the brigade and regiment, he can't figure out whether there is any unknown conspiracy waiting for him in front of him.

The chief of staff's worries, the brigade commander saw it all.

After taking a deep breath, he affirmed very confidently: "Chief of staff, you don't have to worry too much, although our opponent is very cunning, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery will be crushed by us." ”

"Ordered the troops to move forward and first destroy the secret camp of the Independent Regiment. Even if the main forces of the independent regiment have withdrawn from the secret camp and lose the secret camp, the combat effectiveness of their main force will be greatly reduced. When the time comes, a decisive battle with them will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

The chief of staff, though still worried, had no way to refute the brigade commander's explanation.

In the end, you can only nod your head and give orders.

More than 2,000 devils broke through all the way, and finally killed the last line of defense prepared by Han Yu for the devils before dark, and took down this line of defense.

At this time, the devil still had the last seven or eight miles of mountain roads left from the secret camp of the Independent Regiment. But for the sake of safety, the brigade commander decided to be more safe, rest for the night in the position of the independent regiment that had just been taken, and wait until tomorrow morning to kill the secret camp of the independent regiment and occupy it.

Of the 1,500 recruits from two days ago, there are less than 600 left all the way here.

Despite the loss of nearly sixty percent of the recruits, and many of the recruits had a worried look on their faces, Han Yu did not have much sadness on his face.

In Han Yu's opinion, although there are less than 600 people left in the army, the combat strength of this less than 600 people is definitely stronger than the original 1,500 people, and it is much stronger.

In particular, after some light and heavy weapons of the captured devils were strengthened into the troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops became even stronger. Even if it is not as good as an infantry battalion in the country, there is no problem with two infantry companies.

The only thing that worried Han Yu a little was the morale of the troops.

For two days, the losses of the troops were too great, and everyone who was still alive was worried about whether they would be alive tomorrow.

In this case, although their combat effectiveness has improved a lot, their morale is not as good as it was two days ago, and they are even a little afraid of war.

In addition, after two days of fighting, he did not stop the devil's attack, although he killed a lot of devils, the devils still killed to the edge of the secret camp.

Although the regiment commander made the decision to abandon the secret camp before the battle began, and transferred all the materials of the secret camp to the deep mountains. But for ordinary soldiers, the loss of the secret camp means defeat, and then the independent regiment will be over.

So, while they were demoralized and afraid of battle, they were also worried about the future of themselves and the Independence Regiment.

As a veteran, Han Yu knows very well the solution to this problem, and can sum it up in just a few words, win the battle, and restore their morale and confidence through a victory. (To be continued.) )
