Chapter 143: A New Round of Attack
With Su Dao's order, the entire 99th Army, a war machine, seemed to be suddenly filled with fuel, and instantly became more active, and a new round of attacks was launched in three directions and three fronts almost at the same time.
The Kwantung Army in the Western Front position has long been defeated, the battle has been over for nearly half an hour, and there are still many soldiers who have not been able to find their superiors, and the command system was in chaos for a while.
In the first attack, the greatest loss was not the 57th Division, but the elite of the 9th Division, a sudden battle, which caused them to lose nearly 10,000 troops, and it can even be said without hesitation that the 9th Division has been disabled, and if it continues to fight, it will reach the point of completely losing its combat effectiveness.
Originally, all this should not have happened, and the 767th Division did not have the ability to kill nearly 10,000 people of the Ninth Division in less than an hour. And the culprit of all this is Liu Guodong's armored brigade, 300 steel beasts wantonly destroying their soldiers on their positions, and it is they who have brought huge casualties to the Ninth Division.
There was only a little more than half an hour between the two attacks, which was basically equivalent to a non-stop attack for the various units of the Kwantung Army, and for the 99th Army, the cessation of the war was just to be able to better adjust the battlefield strength, and if the armored troops were sufficient, they would even attack directly to the end in one go.
Just like the German attack on France in later generations, although the French were a little arrogant and looked down on others, their name of the world's first army was not blown out, but it was shot step by step, bullet by bullet. Wasn't such a powerful country occupied by Germany in a short period of time at the beginning of World War II? Because of what? The reason is also very simple, the French put all their treasure on the Maginot Line, but the Germans took advantage of the advantage of their armored forces and bypassed the Maginot Line directly.
In fact, the two are almost the same, what Su Dao is doing now is basically equivalent to taking out the armored troops to read and use them, but they are equipped with some infantry to protect them when they attack, but in the real armored troops, there are really infantry, that is, the group of people known as armored infantry.
Su Dao is now only limited to the problem of pattern, and has not turned the armored brigade into a real armored unit.
Northern Front, the front-line positions of the 766th Division.
Zhang Hu skillfully pressed a row of bullets into the magazine of the Garand rifle in his hand, and quickly loaded the bullets, waiting for the order to attack.
His unit was originally sent to pretend to support the 767th Division, but after the Kwantung Army in Jinxi City left the city, they quickly turned back, and through the trenches dug in advance, although the Kwantung Army on the opposite side knew that they were back, but they didn't want to find their real hiding place for a while.
"Huzi, don't be so nervous, don't worry, this rifle is really good, at least I've been getting it for nearly a year, and there have been basically no failures so far." Feng Chengzhang threw Zhang Hu a cigarette, and at the same time put one in his mouth, and took out a match.
Zhang Hu doesn't know how to smoke, but he can't refuse the cigarettes handed over by the old squad leader, so he thinks about continuing first, not smoking, and returning the cigarettes to the old squad leader after the battle. Zhang Hu's main credit for not smoking is also his father, the opium invasion left a deep impression on them, Zhang Hu was very young when his father irrigated Zhang Hu all the things with smoke are highly poisonous, stained with it is not far from death, which is why Zhang Hu can resist the temptation every time.
But what he didn't expect was that after the old squad leader lit the match, he actually wanted to light his cigarette first, this time Zhang Hu was distracted, this thing is highly poisonous, he didn't want to get involved, although there were so many people in the army who smoked, and I didn't see anyone die, but since he was a child, his father told him what he was not allowed to do, and he didn't dare to disobey. It's just that the old squad leader personally lit a cigarette for him, and he was embarrassed to refuse.
"Although this thing is harmful to the body, it is definitely not as harmful as opium, even when the military seat is fine, I like to have one, do you think the military seat will let us smoke opium? Besides, the soldiers have been pumping for so long, have you seen the combat effectiveness of our troops decrease? In hesitation, the old squad leader smiled, and immediately brought the lit match to his mouth, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and said at the same time.
"Squad leader, I didn't mean that." Seeing that the old squad leader had guessed his thoughts, Zhang Hu hurriedly explained.
"Haha, Lao Tzu knows that you don't mean that, if you don't smoke, don't smoke, the province says that Lao Tzu will bring people to ruin, but this thing can really make people relax, and I also learned it in the war." Feng Chengzhang continued to take a beautiful breath, sent the smoke into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled it.
"Squad leader, I'll smoke!" Hearing the squad leader say this, Zhang Hu stopped insisting at the moment, thinking that there should be no problem with smoking one, right?
Feng Chengzhang smiled and helped Zhang Hu light the cigarette, if it wasn't to help Zhang Hu relax, he wouldn't have supported Zhang Hu to smoke, although the harm of this thing is not as great as opium, but he is harmful after all. Although he also thinks that he can control his addiction to smoking, it turns out that a soldier who survives the war will find the world boring without cigarettes.
"I am not as powerful as you think, I heard that the battle on the Western Front just now reimbursed nearly 10,000 devils, and our own casualties were less than half of the devils, many people were grazed by bullets, and the number of people killed was less than 1,000, which is basically equal to 1 to 10." After lighting the cigarette, Feng Chengzhang continued.
But before Zhang Hu could take over, their platoon commander walked over in the trench, and saw that Feng Chengzhang was teaching the recruits to smoke, and the platoon commander suddenly lost his temper and said helplessly. "Lao Feng, you are here to teach Lao Tzu the bad guys, what a good soldier, Lao Tzu put him in your hands sooner or later, I have to train you to be a person who can eat, drink, and gamble."
Immediately, his voice changed, and he continued: "Talking about the matter, the military department has ordered, the battle is about to begin, and the armored brigade is about to rush over from the side, this time they are separated from us, not together, you should pay attention when the time comes, don't let the boys of the armored brigade hurt our own people." ”
