Chapter 410: Recruit Metamorphosis
Outside the headquarters of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, the figures were shaking and the noise was chaotic, and the brigade commander of Major General Toshiji Miura, who was originally asleep, and other senior officers of the devil had already woken up at this moment.
Before they could figure out what was going on in front of them, Major General Toshiji Miura and the others found that their soldiers were constantly retreating from the front one after another.
The roar and killing shouts of the people resounded in the night sky, deafening and heart-wrenching.
"Bagaya Road, why did you withdraw it? Rush back for me, resist! "Miura Toshishi has somewhat understood at this moment that his troops were attacked by the Shina people, defeated, and lost the outlying positions that he had only captured with the strength of nine cows and two tigers.
Although he couldn't understand why, under such a large-scale gas bomb attack on his side, why were the defenders of Erdaogouzi okay? Still have the strength to counterattack the imperial army at night?
A series of question marks were not solved until the officer Nakasa, who had remained in the occupied position, ran back in a panic with a large number of Imperial soldiers.
Major General Toshiji Miura grabbed him and asked with a gritted roar, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The Japanese soldier Nakasa's face was full of shock, he looked around, met the gloomy gaze of Miura Toshi, and said tremblingly: "General, the people of China, the people of China don't know how to sneak into the trenches of the imperial army, and they are attacked inside and outside, and my subordinates are attacked by the enemy on their backs, and they are powerless to resist it!" ”
"Yaga!" Miura Toshishi angrily pushed him to the ground, and with a fierce voice, he pulled out his sword and waved it forward: "Counterattack, counterattack, recapture the lost position for me!" Kill Quack! ”
A devil Dazuo stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Excellency, the night is thick now, the enemy's situation is unknown, and the position has been recaptured by the Chinese people.
Wait until dawn before attacking! ”
Several other devil officers also stepped forward to persuade him, which temporarily calmed the anger of Major General Miura Toshiji, but Major General Miura Toshiji, who was angry about this matter, ordered the artillery unit to continue to fire poison gas shells at the positions outside the town instead of conventional shells.
Intending to inflict mass destruction on the Dragon's Tooth Task Force with poison gas bombs, you hide in the tunnels, and the poison gas can't cause you any damage, so you shouldn't be spared on the ground, right?
However, the fact still disappointed Miura Toshishi, because when Qiao Youhua led his troops to launch a counterattack, the poisonous gas inside and outside the town had already drifted away, and most of the devils took off their gas masks, after all, no one can always wear a gas mask, and it is still very uncomfortable to breathe.
Therefore, the dragon tooth warriors who repelled the Japanese army and recaptured the position captured a large number of gas masks, and with the fact that there were tunnels to advance and retreat, although the devils fired poison gas bombs again, they failed to do any substantial damage.
In addition to the capture of a large number of gas masks, a lot of ammunition was also captured in the battle just now, which provided some supplements to the ammunition consumption of the first battalion.
The adverse effects caused by temporarily avoiding the Japanese army's advance and retreating to the tunnels were suddenly swept away.
For recruits, winning battles is the most effective exercise, generally a few victories down, recruits will be more confident, and gradually transform into a qualified soldier, and then there are some elite veterans to lead and guide, and some specific occasions, they can also do not fear death, go forward and succeed!
And vice versa, if a recruit goes on the battlefield and loses consecutive battles, it will also have a great psychological impact on them. In the original history, the reason why the National Revolutionary Army collapsed at the touch of a thousand miles in some battles in the later period was because they had lost too many battles.
Too many veterans died in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and later the recruits who pulled up Zhuangding suffered defeats in succession, and even formed a fear of Japan when they saw devils.
For example, in the Battle of Rehe in 33, the Japanese army 128 cavalry took Chengde, the provincial capital of Rehe, and Tang Yulin, chairman of Rehe Province, fled without a fight.
In the Battle of Yu Guixiang, Tang Enbo's hundreds of thousands of Central Plains troops were driven out of the Central Plains anti-Japanese base area that had been operating for several years, and millions of resistance troops were defeated and retreated by the Japanese army.
The list goes on and on.
And today's Dragon Tooth Task Force, under the leadership of the four Qiao Youhua brothers, has won many victories, and has gone through the baptism and tempering of many bloody battles such as the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Feiyunling.
The soul of this army has been forged! As long as Qiao Youhua is the first four people, this army is an elite anti-Japanese army that cannot be dragged or broken, and it is also a melting pot, and any recruits who join in will be integrated into this collective and become a member of this army, adhering to the fighting consciousness and spirit passed down from the veterans.
Even if all the veterans die, as long as this army is not completely wiped out in a battle, its spirit can continue to be passed on and live on!
The spirit of the army is here! The flag does not fall! This is the elite!
After the baptism of battle in the past few days, the recruits have experienced the growth and transformation from rookies on the battlefield to qualified soldiers, although there is still a certain gap from the elite veterans, but as long as some of them can survive in the next battle, it is only a matter of time.
At present, they are enough to be used, and they can rely on the underground tunnel network of Erdaogou, and under the leadership of a group of veterans, it is still possible to fight a defensive war.
…………
On the outskirts of the minefield in Dahe Village, the Japanese engineer wing, under the cover of an infantry brigade of the 9th Brigade and a tank squadron directly under the division, quietly touched this place at night.
They were planning to come at night to clear the roads of mines and clear the way for the assault detour troops.
Since the devils attacked yesterday, Liu Jianhua, the commander of the reconnaissance company in charge of the defense of the Western Front, was convinced of Qiao Youhua's arrangement, and no longer dared to take it lightly, and took turns with deputy company commander Liu Xiaohai and others to lead troops on patrol.
At this time, he and Liu Xiaohai had just completed the handover, and they were patrolling the minefield with about two platoons of cavalry.
The rumble of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles was heard, and although the devil quickly turned off the fire, it was heard by a scout with the tip of his ear.
He immediately reported his doubts to Liu Jianhua, who quickly dismounted with the soldiers and quietly rushed to the front, and it didn't take long to come to the place where he had repelled the devil's sneak attack last time.
Holding the night-vision binoculars borrowed from Wu Ming, the commander of the third battalion, Liu Jianhua clearly saw that under the thick night, a large number of devil sappers had already set up a position and were quietly carrying out demining and detection of the road, and behind them were tanks and armored vehicles and a large number of heavily armed devil infantry.
