Chapter 412: Don't let the devil break into the river fortifications

"Lao Xie, how many casualties did we have in the morning?"

"If you don't count the civilians killed in the air raids, we now have nearly 500 casualties. ▲∴▲∴, "Xie Jiyuan, as the chief of staff, quickly entered this role.

"Five hundred, how many people do we have on hand now?"

"The reconnaissance battalion, the yaksha squad, the air defense battalion, the engineer battalion, the transport company, the heavy machine gun company, the mortar company, the infantry artillery company, the first battalion of the supplementary brigade, the second regiment of the new 38 brigade, plus the special service regiment and the units directly under the division headquarters, there are more than 2,000 people who can fight."

Leng Feng nodded, there are 2,000 troops, at least there is still the strength to fight, they can hold on, they are not short of food, ammunition and materials, as long as this can not be a problem, it is not difficult to block the Japanese attack.

"Long Yingqin, you record it." Leng Feng took a few puffs of cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and commanded, in fact, Long Yingqin's staff officers had already figured out some of Leng Feng's habits.

Smoking a cigarette and then puffing it out is a sign that he has a big decision to make, so whenever they see this, they automatically listen intently.

"Yes!"

"The engineer battalion immediately went to Puzhen to consolidate and build the second line of defense, we have to prepare for the worst, all the food and ammunition materials, except for the necessary ones, will be transferred to Puzhen, and the transportation company will assist in carrying it out."

"The heavy machine gun company was scattered and integrated into the river defense troops, and each company was equipped with one more heavy machine gun to strengthen the firepower of each company, and the mortar company and the infantry artillery company were merged into an artillery company, of which all the small-caliber mortars were reinforced to the forward positions, and the anti-aircraft battalion remained unchanged, and the air defense battalion was carried out independently in air defense battles. Leng Feng said, "Repeat it." ”

"Understood, heavy machine gun company ......"

Leng Feng nodded when he heard this, and there was no mistake or omission. It will be issued immediately.

"Division, Brigade Commander Luo's phone."

"Lao Luo, how are you doing over there?"

"Division, this time the Japanese army is determined to land from Pukou. Although our side has blocked the Japanese attack, I estimate that if we continue to fight under this situation, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold the river fortifications. ”

"Lao Luo, you and I have both fought in the defense of Nanjing, and you and I know the tactics of the Japanese army very well. As long as they tear a little, the follow-up will continue to rush in, so you must resist it on your side, and you can't let a devil go ashore, the consequences are very terrible. Leng Feng said solemnly.

"I understand, but our unit is now suffering heavy casualties, there is no reinforcement, and the Japanese army is still launching a steady stream of attacks, can you give me some reinforcements. Even if it's a company, it's fine. Luo Yufeng said eagerly.

The casualties were too great, this battle was completely different from Yuxikou, the Japanese army was crazy, completely ignoring the casualties, and the attacks were wave after wave, just non-stop.

Leng Feng was silent, he knew Luo Yufeng, he was a fierce general, and he would sacrifice himself as a last resort. I won't ask for support.

It can be seen that the casualties in the Tomb Mountain position have been so cruel?

"Lao Luo, it is a matter of life and death for my honorary first division, and you have suffered heavy casualties. The casualties of the Japanese army are certainly not small, and now, how many troops can the Japanese army on the other side of the river can transfer to land and fight, you and I have a clear understanding of this, and now is the time for everyone to fight for consumption and endurance. Whoever can't bear it first will lose, you understand? Leng Feng took a deep breath and said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and a firm voice from Luo Yufeng came: "Master, I understand, you are worried, I am here Luo Yufeng, and I can't lose the tomb mountain." ”

"I have ordered the supplementary brigade to come out of Quanjiao and support you, they may be a little later." Leng Feng said.

When Luo Yufeng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then tears flashed in his excited eyes, at this time, only the old brothers who had fought side by side could think of it.

"Master, thank you!" But by the time he said it, the phone was already on the other end.

"Division, we also need reinforcements, why did you give all the supplementary brigades to Brigade Commander Luo?"

"He is under much more pressure than we are, and the main landing point chosen by the Japanese is his side, and I estimate that more than half of the casualties on their side are now." Leng Feng said heavily.

If it weren't for more than half of the casualties, Luo Yufeng would not have called him for help.

This battle was very dangerous, and if it was not done well, the good situation after the first division of honor collapsed at once, and the Japanese became ruthless, which was really not easy to deal with.

Shunroku Hatata, wait and see, you have a "strangulation" plan, and I also have a "wolf capture" plan, it depends on who is better.

"All the divisional organs, except for the telecommunications office, are all in reserve, each of them is issued with guns and ammunition, ready to join the battle at any time." Leng Feng ordered.

"Was the Jiangpu Town Field Hospital evacuated?"

"We are evacuating, there are still some people left behind, our seriously injured people need to be treated in time, Dean Tang Jing asked to stay and treat the wounded."

"Agreed, if the seriously injured are not in danger of life, all will be transferred, and the people in the town, those who can be transferred will be transferred, and those who cannot be transferred will be evacuated immediately."

"Yes!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Li of the Fifth Theater of Operations, saying that I have let go of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, and I am not done with him!" Leng Feng said heavily.

"Master, is that it?" Guo Weiquan, who recorded the message, was stunned, and if this telegram was sent, wouldn't it offend Commander Li.

"That's it." Leng Feng didn't care about this, he created such a good opportunity for the Fifth War Zone to annihilate the main force of the 13th Division, if Li Delin couldn't catch it and let it go, he would really have done it with Li Delin.

"Yes!"

Leng Feng really needs Li Delin to take action now, he is now facing pressure from three sides of the Japanese army, and he has surrounded a Japanese army.

If this was the Japanese army's "strangulation" plan, it was really a bit breathless for him.

To the east, the Japanese Iizuka detachment was blocked by a regiment of the new 37th Brigade in the east, facing twice as many Japanese troops, and it was a fierce mechanized corps, Cheng Gang's regiment was under great pressure, and no one knew how long it could last.

What's more, the Japanese army will not go all the way, once the Japanese army can't take a frontal attack, it will definitely find a way to make a detour, so the strength of the new 37th Brigade Leng Feng does not dare to be easily adjusted, because it is necessary to respond to a regiment at any time to stop the Japanese army.

To the north, if the Fifth Theater does not act, the main force of the 13th Division will move south. Whether the new 40th Brigade can block the Japanese army's front, Leng Feng is not easy to say.

Then there was the south, and the Japanese troops who came to Jiangnan attempted to land directly from Pukou. gave the first division of honor a three-sided encirclement.

Of course, the Japanese army really wanted to come from the west, and the sneak attack on Yuxikou failed, and a gap appeared in the west, from now on. That's how the Japanese army's strangulation plan should be.

The 65th Wing of the Japanese Army may be a decoy deliberately set by the Japanese army!

Thinking about this, Leng Feng also exclaimed!

If the Japanese army used the 65th Wing as a bait from the beginning, then Shunroku Hatata's calculation was too terrible, how could he calculate that he would definitely attack the 65th Wing, the honorary first division crossed the river and went north, and the choice of the way was still very large, and it did not necessarily have to fight the Japanese army.

Leng Feng knew that he had come to this point, and the battle situation was dangerous, but it had not yet reached the point of defeat. On the contrary, there is still a chance to win.

Hold Pukou, eat the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army, and once the internal troubles are removed, you can use at least 15,000 more troops in your hands, and the strategic depth increases, even if you abandon Pukou at that time, it is not a big deal.

You can also calmly face the Japanese army from Yangzhou.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese troops, who had received reinforcements, began to launch a fierce attack on Pukou again, but the guns on the destroyer seemed to be running out of ammunition, and they only stopped moving after firing a dozen shots.

Instead, the rapid-fire guns on board fired fiercely at the shore. But the threat to the river fortifications was not very great.

The greatest threat was still the Japanese planes, and the Japanese planes were divided into many times, cooperating with the Japanese attack, in tons. Tons of bombs were dropped, and Pukou was completely turned into purgatory.

Leng Feng's record of killing Japanese soldiers skyrocketed, and the attacking Japanese troops also noticed that there were hidden marksmen in the squadron they attacked.

And more than one person, in addition to the cold front, a group of the Yaksha special operations team also participated in the battle. Although their marksmanship is not as good as Cong Hu, they are much stronger than the Japanese army, and even Na Luo Xiuya's marksmanship is not lost to ordinary sharpshooters.

"One hundred and fifty-seven!"

"One hundred and fifty-eight ......"

Xiao Xia's record of Leng Feng's record of the Japanese army's record is full of the word "positive", and on this day's battle, he did one thing, responsible for recording the number of Japanese soldiers killed by Leng Feng.

Guo Weiquan gave Leng Feng an observer, this is the first time that the two of them have cooperated on the battlefield, and the tacit relationship they have cultivated in their usual work seems to be more like a fish in water on the battlefield.

In this way, if Leng Feng usually fights, he doesn't need to find an observer, Guo Weiquan is fully capable of this position.

Of course, there are people who are more suitable.

Because of this precise hunting, the Japanese army could not bear the huge casualties and gave up the attack more frequently, and in the end, because they could not find a suitable method, they had to give up the attack.

"The sharpshooters of the Shina people are too powerful, if we don't kill their sharpshooters, it will be difficult for us to break through the position of the Shina army!" The Japanese soldier who commanded the landing, Ishii Daisa, gritted his teeth and said.

"It's the ghost army called Yaksha, Takahashi-kun has no news so far, I'm afraid he has already encountered an accident." A Japanese soldier behind Ishii Daisa said sympathetically.

"Hiroshi Takahashi?"

"Yes, Takahashi-kun was sent on a secret mission, and there is no news so far, if it doesn't fall into the hands of the Shina people, then he has already sacrificed his life for the empire."

"No, if the people of China catch or kill Takahashi-kun, they will definitely make a big publicity, and there will be no news at all."

"Yes." Shaozo nodded.

In the eyes of many Japanese officers, the Honor First Division and Yaksha stepped on the bones of countless Japanese soldiers to become heroes, and they showed off so much, killed or captured Japanese officers like Hiroshi Takahashi, and they would definitely be killed and promoted.

But they themselves didn't know that some of the achievements of the Honor Division did not want to be publicized, and even the Japanese army was even more afraid of losing face, so many things were not announced to the public.

However, the outside world's perception of the Honorary First Division is high-profile and public, which has also affected the views of many Japanese officers and some unreasonable people in China.

Without solving the problem of the sharpshooters in the Chinese army, it has become unrealistic to land in Pukou.
