Chapter 1138: Yu Guanghan's Night Attack

The night in the Baldwin mining area was not peaceful, and the soldiers on both sides who had been fighting for a day took advantage of the rare quiet time of the night to lick the wounds on their bodies, accumulate strength, and prepare for tomorrow's battle, especially the Japanese soldiers who attacked the main attack, were even more exhausted, and they met a strong opponent, the Chinese soldiers who were completely different from the British.

But Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps, did not think so, one day, Yu Guanghan's troops, on the flank of the Japanese army, launched a wave attack, which was completely a lifeless way of fighting, Yu Guanghan's idea was very simple, try to reduce the pressure of the frontal blocking position, but the Japanese army's strength was too strong, as long as Ito divided one-fifth of the troops, he would be able to fight with Yu Guanghan's troops, so that even if Yu Guanghan tried his best, he could not shake Ito's foundation.

Yu Guanghan also knew that he was not Ito's main target, in the eyes of the supreme commander of the Japanese army, his more than 60,000 people were at most a small force of harassment, and Ito couldn't spare the energy to focus on dealing with himself, that is, he took advantage of this, so Yu Guanghan dared to let go of his hands and feet to beat hard, without suffering much loss, and without taking advantage of anything.

In the evening, Yu Guanghan pondered how to be unwilling, he brought twice as many troops as the frontal blocking troops, and the effect was not very great, if he knew this, it was better to ask the chief of staff to go to the frontal battlefield and fight with the little devils, gather the four brigade commanders together, and everyone studied it, simply, organized a capable small unit, and took advantage of the darkness to dig out the little devil's nest.

The targets of the attack are mainly the Japanese army's command headquarters at all levels, baggage units, artillery, and logistics bases, and the main targets of the attack are the Japanese army's command headquarters at all levels, baggage units, artillery, and logistics bases.

Think about it, Yu Guanghan's troops have four brigades, and they formed more than 60 small units at once, from all different directions, towards the Japanese camp, and in an instant, broke the night tranquility of the Baldwin mining area, and the Japanese camps were like boiling pots, with the sound of guns everywhere, and the Japanese army couldn't figure out how many squadrons they had, taking advantage of the night to attack themselves.

As soon as Yu Guanghan made a move in the rear of the Japanese army, Chang Feng guessed that in addition to the three brigades in his own hands on the battlefield in the Baodwin mining area, there were only Yu Guanghan's troops, and in that direction, although he was also ready to move in his heart, taking advantage of the attention of the Japanese army, when he was attracted by Yu Guanghan's troops, he should be able to give the Japanese army a certain amount of damage.

But calm down and think about it, Chang Feng suppressed his impulse, there are so many troops in his hands, in case he is entangled by the Japanese army and can't withdraw back, the Baldwin defense line will sing an empty city plan tomorrow, the key is that Ito is not Sima Yi, and he is not Zhuge Liang, so he took the phone, "Brigade Commander Xu?" I have considered your proposal, and considering the current situation, I do not think that this matter is appropriate. ”

"It was your chief of staff Yu Guanghan's troops who launched an attack on the Japanese army, and their purpose was obviously to exhaust and harass the Japanese army, reduce the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army as much as possible, and buy us some time, so the only task of the front-line troops now is to replenish ammunition, strengthen the fortifications, and rest well, and tomorrow's battle will be more cruel and fierce."

Chang Feng put down the phone, full of gratitude to Guanghan, such a fuss, the Japanese soldiers wanted to recuperate and recharge, it had a great impact on their morale and body, invisibly, to the frontal blocking troops, relieved a lot of pressure, he looked at the dark night at the entrance of the cave, "What is Ito Yanzaburo doing?" He thought to himself.

Ito was not idle, although during the day, the Japanese army had a great upper hand, but he was very dissatisfied with such results, he believed that the independent division troops in the Baudwin mining area were definitely not Tang Qiuli's main force, and from the perspective of the firepower density of the independent division troops blocking himself, the strength would not exceed 50,000 people, obviously, this was the troops that Tang Qiuli took out to prevent his advance to Degang, and it was the troops that were ready to be consumed here.

Therefore, what Ito Yanzaburo values is not how many miscellaneous troops of the independent division are annihilated, but how much he has advanced forward, and even the small force that constantly flanks and harasses himself is not his goal of annihilation.

He convened a combat meeting overnight, and at the meeting, Ito's rare voice was violent, and he reprimanded a senior Japanese officer to the point of smoke, "Everyone, in you, I can't see the proper qualities of the great Japanese emperor, think about it, the Chinese army opposite us is only more than 50,000 people, and it was used by Tang Qiuli to sacrifice, intending to block our rapid advance to Degang." ”

"And what about today's day? The divisions and regiments that participated in the attack reported one after another how many soldiers were annihilated in China, with a smell of complacency, but what about our campaign intentions? You have considered that the key point of a battle is not how many enemies are eliminated or how many towns are occupied, but whether the purpose of the campaign is achieved. ”

"The only purpose of our dispatch army is to quickly reach Degang and eliminate the main force of the independent division there, you should know what a price the soldiers of the imperial army have paid for creating such a good opportunity for us! I ordered that the troops that had participated in the attack during the day should be transferred to the second line to rest and recuperate, and that at five o'clock tomorrow morning, I would use the strength of five divisions and all the chariot and artillery units to launch an unprecedented offensive to break through the positions of the independent divisions in one fell swoop, and arrive at Degang at noon on the same day. ”

Ito wants to use shells and a sea of people at any cost to drown the three brigades commanded by Chang Feng, Ito's murderous voice, before it fell, the sudden sound of guns and cannons surprised him very much, and a senior staff officer ran in, "Report to Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, in the southeast and east directions of our army's camp, a small group of troops have been found attacking our army's camp, at present, it is not clear which unit?" ”

"Hani?" Ito muttered to himself strangely, and then realized that it must be the annoying fly, which has been following from Meng Mi all the way here, constantly attacking the small forces of the independent division of the Imperial Army from the flank, Ito waved his hand indifferently, and said: "Order the alert troops, just repel it, this little thing still bothers me?" ”

The senior staff officer hesitated and didn't leave, Ito let out a displeased "um", and the staff officer said: "General, this time, the attack method of the small group of troops in Shina is different, they have infiltrated the center by sneak attack, and ......" Ito frowned, and asked sharply: "And what?" ”

"Moreover, one of our ammunition concentration areas was burned by a small group of troops in China, losing tens of thousands of shells and a large number of bullets, and, because it was at night, our two troops, without knowing the truth, exchanged fire, and there were casualties among each other," said the senior staff officer, Ito was angry and scolded "Yaga! ”

"The troops who have been rotated will immediately go into battle and crush this abominable fly to death," Ito said viciously, and just as he asked the staff officer, the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions outside became more and more chaotic. The entire Japanese military camp was like a pot, and there was a lot of commotion everywhere.

After the elite small troops sent by Yu Guanghan broke through in a chaotic manner among hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, the Japanese army gradually recovered from the initial chaos and sent a large number of troops to places where the gunfire was intensive, and the flexibility and activity space of the small units of the Sulu Mobile Corps were greatly limited.

Yu Guanghan, who has been paying close attention to the situation, immediately ordered all small units to quickly withdraw from the battle, not to be entangled by little devils, more than two hours later, the sound of gunfire gradually stopped, this most of the night, the Japanese soldiers were tossed enough, Yu Guanghan personally on the way back from the small troops, greeted these bold officers and soldiers.

No one thought that this whimsical action had a surprisingly good effect, not only making the Japanese soldiers unable to rest at ease, blowing up several ammunition depots, but also causing misunderstandings between different Japanese troops. ”

After speaking, Yu Guanghan seemed to say to himself: "It's really strange, along the way, I have tossed the little devil a lot, and it is completely desperate, but the little devil ignores himself and takes himself seriously," Yu Guanghan hoped that the Japanese commander would be angry and use all his energy to deal with himself, even if he had all the more than 60,000 people, he would release more than half of the blood of the little devil.

Sacrificing the part, in exchange for the whole, Yu Guanghan understands this truth, it's good now, find the little devil desperately, and people don't accept it at all, "Ito, the old devil's appetite is not small, his eyes are staring at Degang, I didn't fancy the more than 60,000 soldiers in my hands!" He thought indignantly.

I don't know why, after receiving Yu Guanghan's telegram, Chang Feng felt in his heart, the original kind of mentality of generosity and tragedy, and determination to die, disappeared, and he was going to write to the division commander Tang Qiuli not only to report the battle situation, but also to write a farewell telegram, no matter what, he couldn't write it anymore, did he not have that mentality, or was inspired by Yu Guanghan's telegram, tomorrow's battlefield in the Baldwin mining area may not be as he thought, the situation of death, also learn, there will be other results, right?

Chang Feng shook his head half helplessly, half self-deprecatingly, crumpled the telegram manuscript into a ball, and threw it far away, just like throwing out some impurities in his heart.

A young staff officer came in, "Report to the chief of staff, I received a report from the alert troops, Deputy Division Commander Tang has arrived at the battlefield in the Baodwin mining area, and is rushing to the headquarters," Chang Feng was startled, "It's coming so quickly!" ”
