Section 105 Siege on three sides

With the outermost defense line in the north of the wild market all overcome, the tall sledgehammer also ordered to stop the attack, and then it is the enemy's main position, judging from the previous combat situation, the enemy army has a lot of troops in the wild market, only the position on the north periphery has at least one squadron of troops, how many enemies will there be in the entire wild market? At least there should be a brigade, and even more is possible. Although he was greatly satisfied with the combat strength of his second battalion, he was not confident enough to think that he could capture this place with his second battalion. If it weren't for the surprise of the devils through the onslaught of artillery before, I'm afraid it would be difficult to say whether they could successfully take the position outside the market town.

Stone rushed to the front of the battlefield and held up a telescope to observe the enemy's main position up close. Now, this was the closest he could get to the battlefield. If you want to charge at the forefront like before and kill the devil with your own hands, this is simply impossible, not to mention those people in the guard company, even the battalion commanders will block in front of him. Just kidding, the stone is the backbone of the entire Independent Regiment, if something happens to him, what will the Independent Regiment do? In this regard, the stone is also quite helpless, but there is no way, after all, the lives of five or six thousand people are on his shoulders, and he really can't bear any risk now.

"The wild market is not a big place, there are three or four streets before and after, the reason why the devils will open their positions is also to forcibly increase the strategic depth, although the effect is limited, but it is better than shrinking on these streets, at least the troops and firepower can be dispersed." The stone looked at it for a while and then spoke, not knowing that he was talking to himself and discussing it with others.

"The battle of the second battalion is good, clean and neat to smash all the devil's original idea, after the outer position is taken, the location of the wild market here has actually been biased towards us, this flat terrain, in this kind of close assault, it is very convenient for us to attack, as long as the suppressive firepower is strong enough, we can successfully cover the assault troops into the enemy's core position." The stone then continued.

The tall sledgehammer on the side frowned when he heard this, and said: "Stone, the devils have too many troops here, and they obviously guessed that we might reinforce from this aspect, so we have enough troops to reserve in advance and preset a solid position, with our current strength, a frontal attack, even if we can successfully take here, I am afraid that the time will be very long, as for the loss of troops, it depends on the combat situation on the spot." ”

Liu Wenfeng, who was on the side, couldn't help shouting: "Sledgehammer, if you don't dare to fight, change us to a battalion." As long as the artillery company can still launch a wave of fire support there, I guarantee that the first battalion can tear through the devil's defense line in the front and open a breakthrough point for the whole regiment's attack. ”

Hearing this, the tall sledgehammer couldn't help frowning and said, "Crazy, this battle is not easy to fight!" The devil has buildings to rely on, and he can build one defense line after another by cutting off the streets, and when the time comes, the layers of fortifications will be fought step by step, and even if they are taken down in the end, the brothers will probably have to fight out. ”

Liu Wenfeng said disapprerovingly: "The combat effectiveness of the devil has been seen just now. Although it's not bad, it's really far worse than us, the strength is not as good as ours, and the strength is not as good as ours, so it is worth spending a little price to annihilate this wave of devils and kill the 57th Division on the front line of Shanghan Bridge in the shortest possible time. We may lose a little more here, but if we don't lose much, and we fight slowly, and when the devils capture the Shimosaka Bridge, we will be in big trouble, and when the devils attack the heights, how much role can our people play? Only when the devil is blocked on the periphery of Shanggao and has to divide our troops to uproot the stronghold, we can use our strength to the greatest extent to inflict heavy damage on the devil, so as to have the effect of rescuing friendly forces. ”

Gao Da Hammer couldn't help but groan when he heard this, what Liu Wenfeng said also made sense, they are not just attacking a wild market at the moment, the most important thing is to reinforce the 57th Division to ensure the safety of the first line of Shanggao, as for the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army in the middle of the road, this needs to be under the premise that Shanggao can be safely defended. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, obviously weighing the gains and losses.

Shi Shi smiled at this time: "You don't have to think about the problem so complicated, you have to fight one by one." Here in the wild market, we must take it down, otherwise, we will take a detour to kill the Shimosaka Bridge, and we will fall into the situation of being besieged by devils. It's just that what we should think about now is how to win it in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. ”

Hearing Shi say this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize that things were indeed that simple. His gaze swept over Shishi's face, looking at him with a faint smile on his face, Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Tuanza, do you have a way?" ”

The stone smiled and said, "It's not a good idea, let's fight the battle in front of us first!" After speaking, he said with a solemn face: "Sledgehammer, you command the second battalion to continue to put pressure on the enemy, make sure that they don't have the energy to distract him, it is best to let the devil feel the pressure to draw troops from other places, and the task will be completed." ”

The tall sledgehammer responded, and then asked, "Tuanza, are you going to attack with force?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "It's just to contain the attack, and it's not time to attack for the time being, if you don't mobilize the enemy's forces, the losses of the attack will be huge." At present, we do not know which direction this battle will develop in the present, but whether it is an encirclement and annihilation battle or a blocking war, when the friendly forces have already lost a large number of troops, we will definitely have to undertake a very heavy combat mission, and we will not be absolutely sure that we should not attack by force. ”

Seeing the tall sledgehammer nodding continuously, Shi turned to Liu Wenfeng and said: "Madman, you take a battalion to attack the market town from the east, the attack must be fast, you can pay a little price in the early stage, and strive to sweep the enemy's outer defense line in the shortest possible time." After taking the enemy's position, it will immediately change to a defensive position, the devils are likely to send reinforcements from other places, the east will be the main passage, as long as you hold this passage, the devils in the wild market will be choked by the throat, even if they are not surrounded, psychologically, they will be in a state of panic. ”

Liu Wenfeng immediately smiled and said: "Stone, you can rest assured, the first battalion is definitely the first to enter the market town." ”

Shi shook his head lightly, and he didn't know if he was not very optimistic about them, or if he didn't approve of Liu Wenfeng's too fierce style of play. However, he didn't say anything, obviously he knew that Liu Wenfeng was shouting loudly, but in fact, he had to be more careful than anyone else when he really fought.

Immediately, the stone said to Li Shijian on the side: "Battalion Commander Li, the battlefield in the west is in charge of your three battalions. ”

Li Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that the third battalion would finally get the battle, and the sky was pitiful, in front of the first battalion and the second battalion, the status of the newly formed third battalion was so low that you can imagine how low. In the independent regiment, in addition to the first battalion and the second battalion, there are also cavalry battalions and regimental headquarters battalions, which unit is not a soldier who has gone through a hundred battles in bloody battles, in front of them, the newly formed three battalions basically have no part to intervene. Fortunately, the regiment commander did not forget them, and entrusted them with a heavy task in this situation, which made Li Shijian say loudly and excitedly: "Rest assured, the third battalion will never lose the face of the independent regiment, and ensure that the outer defense line of the devils will be swept away in the shortest possible time." ”

Liu Wenfeng, who was on the side, smiled when he heard this: "Li Hutou, why are you so excited?" Fighting devils and not sleeping with his daughter-in-law, why are you so anxious? ”

"Haha" Everyone on the side laughed when they heard this, these guys, all of them are bold, and they are so arrogant at a distance of a few hundred meters from the devil's position. Their laughter also attracted the watchful eyes of the soldiers not far away, and for a while they couldn't understand what the commanders were talking about, how they could be so happy.

Shi Shi also chuckled, and then he shook his head at Li Shijian and said, "Battalion Commander Li, the battle in the west is also to contain the attack, and the pace of the attack should be slowed down. Immediately, he seemed to be afraid that Li Shijian would not understand it thoroughly, so he couldn't help but continue: "The west side of the wild market is relatively desolate, so the position of the devil here will be relatively simple, and the personnel layout is relatively weak. ”

Li Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "What does the group seat mean, wait for the devil to relax, and then strive to break through from the west?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "No, the terrain in the west is not conducive to the development of the troops, and the third battalion has not been built for a long time, although the officers are all veterans and fierce generals of various departments, the soldiers have not been trained in bloody battles, and they are still poor in fighting tough battles, and they still need time to cultivate." If troops are drawn from other places, such a close distance, the devil will also be aware of it, and the role will be limited. After the third battalion completely occupies the position in the west, it can appropriately strengthen the intensity of the attack to confuse the judgment of the enemy, and at the same time, it is also to take this opportunity to let the new recruits in the battalion mature quickly. ”

After hearing the stone's words, not only Li Shijian was confused, but even Liu Wenfeng, Gao Da Hammer and others couldn't help but look at each other, because the three battlefields were all fought until the outer position of the wild market, and there was a kind of threat to the main position of the devil, in this case, who would break through the enemy's position, and who would tear apart the enemy's defense line? You can't still expect the devil to take the initiative to attack! However, after the stone finished speaking, he had already closed his mouth, obviously he didn't want to say more, they knew the temper of the stone, and they couldn't help but swallow this question into their stomachs, anyway, this battle was about to start, and what medicine was hidden in the stone gourd, they would know it soon.
