Section 124 Prepare for the final encirclement and annihilation

The scene in front of me was really unbelievable, the Japanese soldiers, who had always been known for their strong combat power, fell in pieces under the fierce attack of the national army, and they did not have any strength to fight back. The whole mountain range seemed to be filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers in the blink of an eye, and the scene was not very grand, but it was bloody and terrifying. Even the Japanese machine gunners who set up machine guns on the mountainside to suppress the enemy troops on the top of the mountain were in an extremely embarrassing situation at this time, because they found in vain that the enemy's machine gun fire was fierce and explosive in an instant, which was not at all comparable to them, and the previous suppression was more like a joke.

Wing Commander Akira Ishikawa of the 216th Wing personally rushed to the front line to observe the battle situation, but seeing the battle like this, he couldn't help but freeze there for a long time and couldn't speak. It was the third blow he had suffered in two days, and he wasn't there except for last night's fight. Yesterday morning in the wild market, today in front of this mountain range, he watched his soldiers being slaughtered by the enemy, and watched the troops he brought out suffer one defeat after another under the attack of the enemy, and his mind suddenly became a blank. Although he still had fifteen or six hundred men in his hands, and although the enemy troops on the hill did not seem to be numerous, he no longer had any confidence to fight again.

"Withdraw, retreat three miles to alert!" After a long time, Ishikawa Akira finally came to his senses, and his first words startled the officers on the side.

"Your Excellency, the order of the division headquarters is for us to attack to the south and put pressure on the enemy troops on the upper level, and ......withdraw at this time," the chief of staff on the side said with an uneasy expression, obviously disagreeing with the order of the wing commander, after all, the pressure to disobey the orders of the superiors on the battlefield is too great, and if you don't get it right, you will be shot.

"Keep your eyes open and see, can this battle be fought again? Didn't see the enemy fire on the top of the hill? Ishikawa Akirai changed his usual steady and peaceful appearance, scolded angrily, his eyes widened, the whole person was like a beast waiting to be devoured, so that everyone on the side was also frightened, most people didn't even dare to breathe at this time, so as not to suffer miserably.

The chief of staff had never seen such an expression from the wing commander again, and he was also frightened. But since he had already opened his mouth before, he naturally couldn't keep his mouth shut at this time, so he could only stiffen his head and say: "Ishikawa-kun, although the enemy's machine gun firepower is strong, but the enemy's troops on the top of the mountain are not many, judging from the current situation, it is only one company at most, although our losses are not small, as long as we continue to invest our troops, wait until the enemy's firepower is interval......"

"Yaga! Is the life of the soldiers of the wing a tool to save our military position and life? Knowing that the strength of the enemy army in front of them is difficult to match, why do you want to send them to death? The enemy army does not have many troops? If the enemy does not have many troops, how can we completely annihilate one of our squadrons here last night? Yesterday in the wild market, the third brigade was unable to hold at full strength, is it possible that now after a night, we can defeat this enemy army? Are our lives worth more than the lives of these soldiers? Ishikawa Akira was furious, and as soon as he grabbed the chest of the chief of staff, there was a series of angry roars, and he scolded angrily, and immediately made the chief of staff tremble and couldn't say a word anymore.

Ishikawa was also very disappointed when he saw him with such an expression, he had always felt that his chief of staff was good, but now he came again, it was really unbearable, only when life and death were critical, he could see a person clearly, this truth was really good. Think about it, if it weren't for the desperate situation in front of him, where could you see his selfishness? Loosening his collar, Ishikawa Akira glanced at him with disdain, and immediately shouted to the communications officer on the side: "Immediately report the information here to the division headquarters, the enemy has deployed heavy troops in the south, and if you want to break through the enemy's defense line, I am afraid that the losses will be extremely amazing, please ask Your Excellency the division commander to give instructions, whether to continue the attack?" ”

Through this roar, Ishikawa Akira's anger seemed to calm down a lot, and the officers and soldiers on the side trusted His Excellency the Wing Commander more and more, and their orders to be completed and carried out to the letter.

Oga Shigeru soon received the news of the 216th Wing on Yuntou Mountain, which made him sigh, and at the same time he was quite afraid of the enemy commander. After dawn today, he had planned to go the opposite way, and attack south by surprise while surrounded by heavy encirclement. Even if he can't take Shanggao, in this case, as long as he can inflict huge damage on the enemy, he can completely turn the tide of the battle in front of him, at least after crippling the enemy army in the south, the next breakthrough operation, the pressure behind them will be much less. However, from the news reported by Ishikawa Akira, it can be seen that the enemy seems to have made a prediction of his move, in such a short period of time, the attacking force has lost nearly 100 people, this number of casualties is really difficult for him to accept, this is only a preliminary contact, if you really want to fight fiercely on the whole front, wouldn't it only take half a day, and the division will be exhausted?

Thinking of this, he could only shake his head and sigh, from the current point of view, the enemy commander in front of him in terms of command ability, is really not comparable to ordinary people, this battle from the beginning, is completely in the calculation of the other party, and even when they just put on a three-way attack posture, the enemy has made all the responses, until now, the enemy's strategic intention has been achieved, and the rest is only to encircle and annihilate their 34th division.

People are in a desperate situation, either collapse or explode! After a long sigh, he quickly adjusted his emotions, and then ordered loudly: "Order Ishikawa Akira, immediately stop attacking and build positions in situ, and be ready to attack at any time." Then he ordered Mu Saki Ciqing to immediately move closer to Yuntou Mountain. ”

At the same time, on the position of the independent regiment that had quieted down, Shi and the others were gathering around to discuss the battle situation in front of them. Liu Wenfeng, who was about to take a company up the mountain for reinforcements, was also sitting there at the moment and kept shaking his head and saying: "It's strange, it's really incomprehensible for the little devil to fight now." A squadron rushed up to fight, ran away if it lost, didn't even bring back a head, and there was no follow-up at all. Haven't the previous devils always been constantly increasing their troops, and even if they fought all the people, they had to take them down before they would give up? ”

Wu Zihuai pondered and said: "The devils don't break through to the north, but attack to the south, which is already a battle against common sense, what are they thinking?" In terms of time, the 70th Army and other troops should have cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, right? Under siege, does the devil still want to enter the upper heights? ”

Lin Xiufeng on the side laughed and said: "The main thing is that the third company is too powerful, and it directly scared the devil's guts." One stick will give people a daze, where do the devils have the courage to continue attacking? From yesterday to now, our group alone has killed thousands of devils, right? How many people are there in total, who can withstand this fight? ”

Liu Wenfeng glared at him and said, "According to what you say, you have to fight devils slowly?" Give them a little hope first, and then let them ramp up their offense? ”

Lin Xiufeng continued to laugh and said, "Crazy, your head is confused when you fight, right?" It's not good that the devils have retreated, and you are still looking forward to them coming up again? The battle has come to this, how much difference can there be between killing a few more and killing a few less! ”

Liu Wenfeng was dissatisfied and said: "You kid knows a bird, if you don't take advantage of this favorable terrain to consume more devils, when you don't have the advantage of fighting with devils, you will be in big trouble." Killing one more now, then you will have one less threat and a few fewer brothers, is this still called a difference? ”

Stone interrupted their dispute with a wave of his hand, and he said in a deep voice: "The devil is attacking south, he must want to take us by surprise, and he wants to seize the initiative on the battlefield before retreating. As a result, they didn't impress after a while, and they naturally didn't dare to attack recklessly, otherwise, the losses would be too great, and when we broke through their defense line from behind, the devils would collapse on all fronts. Speaking of this, he turned to Zheng Yongchang and said, "Immediately get in touch with the 58th Division and tell Division Commander Liao and Deputy Division Commander Zhang that the devil may have to withdraw." ”

"Beard, let the brothers of the cavalry battalion prepare, as soon as the devil withdraws, the encirclement and annihilation operation will begin, and then it will be the time for your cavalry battalion to play, as long as you can use the speed advantage to entangle the enemy, the devil will shed his skin if he does not die in this battle." The stone then continued to command.

Hu Zi immediately got up and said: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, the devil wants to escape from us, but it is not so easy, although there are many mountains and roads here, but it is absolutely no problem to outflank the devil's back road." ”

Shi nodded, then turned his head to the tall sledgehammer and said: "Sledgehammer, after the pursuit operation begins, the second battalion will be the main attack, and when the battlefield is too open, I may not have the energy to take care of a few battlefields." It's up to you to prioritize the priorities of the front line. In short, it is a principle, I would rather kill a few devils than risk the lives of my brothers. The battle in front of us has already been decided, and it is really not cost-effective to lose troops in this kind of battle. If this battle goes well, the next step may be to counterattack Nanchang, and there are more important tasks waiting for us at that time. ”

Gao Sledgehammer immediately responded: "Don't worry, I know the weight." ”

Liu Wenfeng was not happy, he immediately said: "Stone, you are too partial, right?" The bayonets we fought with the devils here are red, why did the second battalion fight in the next battle? ”

Hearing this, Shi chuckled and said, "What are you anxious about, in this situation, are you still afraid that there will be no fight?" When the friendly forces in the north are launched, I'm afraid we will all have to go to the battlefield, let alone a battalion, even the supplementary battalion may have to take on the heavy responsibility, what are you anxious about now? ”
