Chapter 186: Little Devil's Tired Tactics!

Watching the attacking little devils, under the cover of artillery fire, they made a comeback again. Not long after www.biquge.info these seemingly menacing little devils retreated quickly.

When the officers and men of the Eighth Route on the position felt that they had repelled another attack by the little devils, many officers and soldiers knew that the shelling of the little devils was coming. After leaving some observation posts, they hid back in the anti-artillery tunnels before the shells came.

Such a situation was staged in turn on the main positions of the two main infantry divisions, which made the attacking little devils feel tired, and the Eighth Route Army on the position also felt very puzzled. There seems to be something wrong with this little devil's attack.

As the commander of the position, the commander of the 4th Infantry Division watched the Japanese retreat again, and couldn't help muttering: "What are these little devils doing? It's only been how long it's been offensive, and why did it retreat again? ”

Faced with the confusion of the first regiment commander, the chief of staff of the first regiment said with a smile: "Regiment commander, isn't it better for the little devil to withdraw?" No matter what their idea is, just keep it the same. We're not in a hurry anyway! ”

'Anxious is not in a hurry! But the little devil keeps coming and going like this, I always feel that there is some conspiracy behind this! ’

'Whatever the conspiracy is! The soldiers will block, and the water will flood. As long as they attack, we will defeat them! ’

Just after the troops on both sides seemed to have formed a tacit understanding of offensive and defensive drills. The commander of the Japanese wing, who was in charge of attacking the defensive positions of a regiment, was also a little dissatisfied with the daytime attack.

But after seeing that the firepower on the position of the Eighth Route Army was basically tested, he knew that tonight was the time to really launch a general offensive. In order to ensure that the troops had sufficient strength tonight, he also ordered the troops to take turns to rest and recuperate.

After nightfall, looking at the light of the fire on the position of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the infantry wing also said in a timely manner: "Send a telegram to the armored wing and tell them that they can be dispatched." Order the troops, wait and all go into battle! ”

'Hey! ’

With the order of the herald, the armored wing staying in the rear of the Japanese army also began to mobilize its armor and slowly came towards the defensive position of the fourth division and one regiment. It was only when they assembled that the information was transmitted to the command post of the Fourth Division.

This information was quickly transmitted to the Fourth Division, and they were ordered to be ready for battle at any time. At the same time, the artillery regiment is given electricity, so that they are ready to support at any time. The artillery battalions should also beware of the artillery counterattack of the little devils. ’

It is clear that the little devils dispatched armored troops at this time, and they also hoped to take their defensive positions with all their might. It's just that in the eyes of the commander of the Fourth Division, this attempt of the little devil is only afraid that it will fail.

If they had launched a strong attack during the day, with the cooperation of a strong air force, perhaps they would have to pay a heavier price if they wanted to hold their positions. But at night, I'm afraid that it will be the little devil who will suffer in the end.

The shelling of the little devils for two consecutive days has already exposed many of their artillery positions. Once the divisional artillery regiment launches a counterattack, I believe that it will also be able to catch the little devil artillery unit by surprise.

However, according to the information sent by the front-line reconnaissance troops, the Second Division of the Kwantung Army deployed a number of artillery positions behind the two infantry divisions. With only two divisions of artillery power, I am afraid that the countermeasure ability is also very limited.

After all, the 2nd Division, in addition to the field artillery wing, also had heavy artillery units. In terms of artillery firepower and range, it is much stronger than the artillery regiment of the three columns and two infantry divisions.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the defensive position, the commander of the fourth division did not care about the losses of the artillery regiment at this time. If the little devil really launches a general attack tonight, then the artillery regiment will have to provide artillery support.

Just as He Zhengdao said, in the course of combat, all units should first ensure the safety of their officers and men. As for the damage to weapons, there is no need to be as careful as before.

Even if the artillery is destroyed, as long as it is not too badly destroyed, it can be quickly repaired by pulling it to the rear arsenal. If the casualties are too high, there is a high chance that there will be no manpower to use them, even if they have weapons.

The leader of the anti-tank detachment, who arrived at the position of a regiment, did not say much after receiving the notice to go to the tunnel headquarters for a meeting. It didn't take long to arrive from the communication trenches to a regiment of headquarters set up under fortified bunkers.

'Captain Li, is there a situation?' ’

'Hmmm! I just received a telegram from the division commander that the armored troops deployed by the little devils in the town were dispatched. And our scouts found that when the chariots of these little devils were moving, they didn't even turn on the lights. ’

So they want to attack our position tonight? ’

'It should be!' However, we don't know exactly when the little devil will launch a general attack. Just for the sake of safety, I hope that Captain Liu, you will wait and be ready to enter the battle at any time.

Although our regiment is also equipped with some bazookas, their shooting level is still a little insufficient compared to yours. The little devil tank is really going to rush up, and you need to destroy it completely. ’

Please rest assured that this is our task! As long as we have one man left, we will never let the tanks of the little devils rush into our positions. However, I hope you will send someone to cooperate at that time. ’

'That's fine!' Wait a minute, my guard company will cooperate with your attack. The little devil's infantry coordination training level is good, and I believe that when attacking, their troops will also implement cover and cooperation.

If you have a guard company to cooperate with you, I believe you can also clear the threat of those little devil infantry. After two days of bombing, I think I can really compete with the Kwantung Army tonight. ’

After the distribution of combat orders, the commander of the first regiment also issued combat orders to the battalions. still maintain the rules of taking turns on the battlefield, give the main battalions plenty of time to rest, recuperate and wait for the arrival of the little devils.

Seeing that the first round of attacks of the little devil was repulsed after nightfall, the commander of the first regiment also said to the chief of staff beside him: "Lao Wang, tell the forward observation post to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army at any time." The little devil seems to have replenished reinforcements this afternoon. ”

'Understood! If the information provided by our reconnaissance unit is correct, the little devil should have deployed two infantry wings in front of our position. On top of that, there's an armored wing, and they really look up to us! ’

Two infantry wings and one armored wing were already far superior in strength to the regiment guarding the position. Fortunately, during the day, the 1st regiment was also replenished with a main battalion, plus an anti-tank detachment against the Japanese armored forces.

In such a comparison, the commander of the first regiment felt that it should not be difficult to hold the position. As long as the Japanese army's movements were detected in advance, he was confident that he would continue to hold out here for a few more days.

After all, this main position built by a regiment is still very strong. Coupled with the combat materials stored earlier, the commander of the first regiment felt that it would not be difficult to hold on for half a month.

Just keep it like this every day, and the troops will inevitably have casualties and attrition every day. Therefore, the commander of the regiment did not want to consume the living strength of the troops, and he believed that the little devils would not come to die in vain every day.

If you really want to say it, as the defensive side, their casualties are still smaller than the Japanese army. In this way, even if it is one by one, the head of the regiment feels that it is still the little devil who can't bear it in the end.

'Order the front-line troops to carry out an offensive and artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army every half hour. The scale of the attack and artillery bombardment should not be too large, but it must make the Eighth Route Army nervous. The general assault is scheduled to start in the early hours of the morning, and then the armored wing will be the main attack! ’

Considering that the replenished infantry wing was just in the afternoon, it was somewhat exhausting to immediately plunge into battle. Coupled with the daytime attack, the infantry wing that was in charge of the offensive position earlier also looked a little tired and needed time to rest.

In the end, the three converging Japanese captains finally agreed to attack in the early hours of the morning. This time, for the Eighth Route Army, which has been disturbed by artillery fire for two days, is believed to be the most tired time for them.

It's just that what the little devil doesn't know is that the Eighth Route Army, which has already had dinner, has also adopted a tactic. By a main battalion, which was responsible for the defense of the receiving positions. The rest of the troops all went into the tunnels to rest.

If a large-scale Japanese attack is discovered, these troops who are resting in the tunnels with guns can also enter the battle at the first time. There are strong anti-artillery tunnels as cover, and the troops also do not have to worry about any accidents.

Although the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out from time to time, many officers and men did not have a good rest. But for many veterans, in the case of fighting, even if they squint for half an hour, they can also recover some mental and physical strength.

What's more, the shelling of these two days did not bring much panic to the Eighth Route Army on the position. Even if there were some casualties, they were not unbearable for these troops who had experienced the war.

Compared with the officers and men of the grass-roots units, who had time to rest and recuperate, the regiment commander and chief of staff did not have much rest for two consecutive days. Watching the little devils attack more and more frequently, I probably guessed that the little devils would play tired tactics again.

Even if you are aware of this tactic, there is no good way to deal with it. The only thing that can be done is to maintain a high level of vigilance. Always be on the lookout for little devils, who will suddenly launch a onslaught at a certain time.

When the time reached the early hours of the morning, the main battalion responsible for defending and blocking also felt that the little devils were attacking and harassing as often as crazy. The observation posts deployed in the forward positions felt a vibration from the ground.

'Not good! The little devil's tank should be dispatched, quick, tell the regiment commander about the situation! ’

With this information coming from the forward observation post, the commander of the regiment immediately said: "Blow the whistle, all troops are ready to enter the position!" ”

A low whistle sounded in the tunnel, which was not very well ventilated. The officers and men of the main battalions, who were recuperating with their eyes closed, also immediately opened their eyes and began to grasp the weapons in their hands tightly, ready to enter the position at any time.

And at this time, the Japanese attacked the rear of the troops, and their artillery units were also ready for the shelling. They needed to give the armored forces a surprise attack, providing some artillery assistance to shorten the distance of the tanks to break through the position.

It's just that the little devils didn't know that when their armored units began to advance slowly, the anti-tank detachment, which had also rested for more than half a day, was also ready to attack. As soon as the little devil tank appears, it's time for them to show their skills!
