Chapter 560: Overnight Rain (Seven Watches)
Looking at the Japanese planes that came to support for the second time, they dropped the bombs they were carrying somewhat casually, and then left the sky over the town again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The troops, who had been given a short rest, also knew that it was their turn to strike again.
As for the counterattack plan arranged by the little devils, it had to be suspended with the departure of these planes. The reason was that after the departure of these planes, the firepower on the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army increased rapidly.
This kind of battle, in which the opponent fought less and less, finally made the Japanese infantry captain realize that they could not take the position of the Eighth Route Army. As for the follow-up counterattack plan, it can only be stillborn.
Keisuke Fujie, who also received a report from the front, could only say angrily: "Yaga, incompetent!" With artillery and planes cooperating, an infantry brigade can't even take a small position, and this captain is too incompetent to make him apologize and be loyal! ”
It was not easy to come up with a game-breaking strategy, but it turned out to be in vain, and it was normal for Keisuke Fujie, who was in a hurry to get angry, to jump like thunder. But as the chief of staff of the division, he knew that the infantry captain did his best.
He could only persuade: "Your Excellency the division commander, it seems that this time we still underestimated the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army. On their positions, they built tunnels to hide from shelling and air defense, and hid thousands of troops there.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army laid a large number of mines at the front of their positions, which caused the infantry brigade to frustrate its attack and missed the best time to attack. The attack was understandable.
What's more, according to the information they had just received, the infantry captain finally went into battle to participate in the attack himself, and as a result, he was hit in the abdomen by a bullet. To be on the safe side, I felt they should be ordered to withdraw. ”
Although he was the commander of the division, Keisuke Fujie did not take over the 16th Division for a long time. It can be said that at present, the chief of staff of the division and regiment, as well as the suggestions of the commander of the division and brigade, he has to take into account to some extent.
Even if the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, but the chief of staff, who is also a general, really wants to save the life of a captain, Fujie Keisuke really has to give some face. And at this time, it is really not appropriate to deal with an adjutant officer who is brave in battle!
There was still some unwillingness in his heart, but considering that the good opportunity to counterattack had been missed, Keisuke Fujie could only agree to the chief of staff's suggestion. The commander of the Japanese infantry group, who had already lost half of his life, was ordered to withdraw from the battle and return to the town.
In order to prevent the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, when the infantry brigade retreated, the little devils also provided artillery cover. In this way, the surviving Japanese infantry could safely carry those wounded soldiers back to the town quickly.
Knowing that the attacking little devil brigade had withdrawn, He Zhengdao didn't pay much attention to it and said, "Did the saber get in?" ”
'Report to the commander that a combat squad has infiltrated the town, and the little devil has not noticed. In addition, the camouflage battalion commanded by Lin Tie was also mixed in a platoon. Thinking about this time, they were already in town. ’
'Good! The little devil wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, so Lao Tzu gave them a dark array. As long as they infiltrate the town, I think tonight's raid will also play a big role. Looks like we're going to need to get two commanders for help. ’
'Commander, with such a busyness, it is estimated that it is too late for Commander Xu and Commander Feng to rejoice! ’
After learning that the Japanese infantry brigade had really attacked and attacked, He Zhengdao gave combat orders to the camouflage battalion lurking outside the town and a special operations squad.
While the little devil was tearing and killing, he began to carefully blend in. When the little devils retreat back to the town, follow these retreating troops into the town. As long as they sneak into the town, He Zhengdao believes that they will be able to stay.
In a small town where tens of thousands of people are concentrated, dozens of special combat officers and scouts who can speak Japanese and are familiar with the rules of the Japanese army are blended in. Unless the Japanese army conducts a large-scale investigation, it will be difficult to find out the people who have mixed in.
No one would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would make such a bold move at such a time. As for the Japanese infantry brigade in charge of the attack, it lost more than half of its troops. At this time, there will not be much suspicion if there are dozens of more people scattered out.
As long as they enter the town safely, these dozens of fighters will be like swimming into the sea. The little devils want to get them out, unless they turn the whole town upside down. Such a special operation, but He Zhengdao felt that the special combat team could successfully complete it.
After repelling the little devil's counterattack, He Zhengdao also asked people to send a letter to the 71st Army about the little devil's troop deployment map in the north. Looking at this troop deployment map, Song Xilian also felt very surprised.
He asked, "Battalion Commander Chen, how did you get this troop deployment map?" ”
'Commander Song, this is the intelligence we sent to the reconnaissance unit from the rear of the Japanese army. It was only when the Japanese planes appeared earlier that they sent the information out. Of course, this firepower defense map may also change.
It's just that when our scouts sent back the information, our army commander confessed and sent this defense map to Commander Song. After all, everyone has the same goal this time, and they all want to solve the little devils in the town as soon as possible.
If Commander Song doesn't believe it, we won't say anything. At least we, the commanders, still hope this picture can be helpful to you. In addition, he asked me to convey a sentence, that is, he hoped that Commander Song would not be too anxious.
At the moment, the advantages of the little devils are obvious, and their firepower is equally strong. If you attack it, the cost is too high. Today, it should rain in the afternoon or evening. When the time comes, the chances of winning may be greater.
At least tonight, we'll do something. If Commander Song believes in us, we can also cooperate and try to solve the little devils in the town tonight. We don't have many troops, but it's okay to be a pioneer. ’
As soon as these words came out, Song Xilian's eyes immediately lit up and said, "What does Camp Chief Chen mean, you have already thought of a way to enter the town?" ”
Not really! It's just that we have already sent small teams to blend around the town one after another. It's daytime, and it's not good to mix in too many people. If it's evening, maybe there will be some chances.
As for whether we can succeed in the end, the meaning of our commander also depends on how the situation of the next battle will change. At least for now, our offense has also caused a lot of pressure and losses to the little devils.
As long as the pressure is constantly applied, there will always be some loopholes in the defensive line arranged by the little devils around the town. If there is a loophole, our reconnaissance team will be able to infiltrate the town and wreak havoc on the imps from within.
If this operational plan can be realized, I think it will be a good plan for you, for us, and even for the other participating troops to reduce losses. But it takes time, and it also takes some luck. ’
After briefly describing some battle plans, Song Xilian was silent for a while and said, "Can I ask, why did you help us suppress the little devil's artillery before?" What is the rationale? ”
I don't know much about this, but the order was given by our commander. Oh, I'm still a little unaccustomed to the title of military commander. But I have followed the commander for many years, and I know that the commander rarely makes mistakes in matters of right and wrong.
Since we are now friendly forces, isn't it natural to help our allies fight? Moreover, we, the commanders, also want to end the fighting as soon as possible and withdraw our first division for rest as soon as possible.
If we want to end the battle as soon as possible, we are afraid that our strength alone will not be enough to complete the mission. Therefore, we also need your help. If you really want to give a reason, that is, we are all Chinese soldiers. Oh, that's what our commanders used to say! ’
Although he is a battalion commander, Chen Siming is also a person who has been in the saber training camp. At the same time, he is also a young officer who is specially trained in the reconnaissance brigade. If given the opportunity, the next step will also be to be promoted to deputy head or head of the regiment.
As the liaison officer of the 67th Army, Chen Siming's eloquence is naturally not bad. In the same way, I still have some understanding of some of He Zhengdao's combat concepts and handling styles.
It's all Chinese soldiers!
seems to be an ordinary sentence, but it makes Song Xilian have an urge to meet He Zhengdao. He was indeed very curious about this red general, who was one level higher than him and was more than ten years younger than him.
After suppressing this idea, Song Xilian also quickly said: "Thank you for sending this defense map, and also convey my gratitude to you Commander He on my behalf." If there is an opportunity, Song will personally visit your Commander He. ”
'Good! I will convey the words of Commander Song, it's nothing, I'll leave first! I will keep you informed of any updates. ’
After leaving this sentence, Chen Siming took a few scouts and quickly left from the station of the 71st Army. Not long after, Chen Siming appeared at the temporary headquarters of the 51st Army, and also conveyed the task assigned by He Zhengdao.
Knowing that the 67th Army had already thought of a way to break the situation, it was only when they needed their cooperation at that time. Xu Youchang, who has already tasted the sweetness, naturally will not miss such a good opportunity.
Although the 71st Army is the main attacker this time, if they can attack the town first, I believe that even if the credit is not much, at least the spoils of war will be able to be gained.
No matter what, at least it's much better than picking up bits and pieces behind the 71st Army at that time!
If you really want the 71st Army to attack the town first, the supplies stored in the town by the little devils will be nothing, but I'm afraid they won't have anything to do. On the contrary, following He Zhengdao, Xu You often felt more at ease.
If nothing else, at least he believed that the Eighth Route Army ate meat, and they could at least drink broth instead of clear soup!
And the situation on the battlefield was similar to what He Zhengdao expected. Not long after noon, a drizzle began to envelop the town. Before evening, the light rain turned into a downpour. For a time, the offensive of the troops from all walks of life also stopped temporarily.
It's just this brief silence, as well as the sudden heavy rain, that makes the Japanese troops trapped in the town seem a little anxious. The simple reason is that rainy nights make their guard duties more difficult.
Once the troops besieging them rush into the town, relying only on the advantage of numbers, the troops surrounding them will be killed, even if they use white-knuckle combat, they will be killed! This is really a bit of a house leak that happens to rain overnight! (To be continued.) )
