Chapter 1043: I Have to Fight to the Death!
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da! da! da......"
The little devil once again adopted the previous tactics: blocking layers and covering the retreat alternately!
However, for the side of the Fourth Battalion, because there were only four companies and hunters before, and there were few people, there was basically no good way to deal with it except for hard fighting. However, this is no longer the case. With the addition of the main force of the fourth battalion, for tactics like the little devil, you can make corresponding response deployments.
No, the little devil is still like this this time, but the main force of the fourth battalion leaned in without hesitation, and then shot at the little devil.
At the same time, the fourth company was separated to attack the flank of the little devil, so that the tactics of the little devil were immediately broken: not only did they have to face a two-sided attack, but at the same time, even if this little devil wanted to retreat, it was impossible to be bitten by the fourth battalion under the two-sided attack.
In the face of this corresponding tactic of the fourth battalion, this little devil also has no good way...... It can be said that the tactics of the little devils' layers of blocking and alternately covering the retreat have been tactically restrained by the flanking tactics of the fourth battalion.
And the only thing that can crack the tactics of the four battalions is to merge the little devils who are divided into two units into one unit, so that the four battalions will not be able to achieve the tactics of attacking from both sides...... After all, a brigade plus a squadron, both in numbers and in equipment, is somewhat stronger than the four battalions, which are now suffering heavy losses.
However, if the little devils merge together, it will also expose a weakness to allow the four battalions to take advantage of the loophole, that is, the little devils will inevitably be eager to withdraw from the primeval forest, and will not be too entangled with the four battalions. And the Fourth Battalion took advantage of this, coupled with the vast space of the primeval forest, and could freely appear anywhere on the way of the little devil's retreat.
Sure enough!
As soon as this group of little devils was flanked, another group of little devils who had already retreated rushed over to help, forcing the fourth battalion and the fourth company to avoid their edge and temporarily retreat, seeking the next opportunity to attack.
The two sides stopped fighting, there were casualties on each other, and, on the whole, the casualty rate of the little devils was a little more than that of the fourth battalion. Although the weapons and equipment of the little devils are much better, and the number of people is also larger, but because the little devils want to withdraw from the primeval forest before dark, this is tantamount to actively giving up the dominant power, so they are always in a situation of being passively beaten.
However, after all, they did not go deep into the primeval forest, and the distance from the headquarters of the Qinglong Mountain Commando Regiment was limited...... To be fair, the fourth battalion was not only able to drag the middle army of the little devils here for a day, but also eliminated a small devil with more than a brigade, such a record, absolutely proud. You must know that China's national strength at that time was weak, whether it was the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, if you want to eliminate the same number of little devils, you basically have to pay double the price. Therefore, no matter what means the Fourth Battalion adopted and how much help the primeval forest withdrew, the Fourth Battalion did this after all, which is really good.
However, killing the enemy was not the main purpose of the Fourth Battalion's operation, the ultimate goal was to drag the little devil's army in the middle here. From this point of view, the Fourth Battalion is far from achieving its ultimate operational objective. Therefore, the fourth battalion has to continue to fight with the little devil's mid-lane army, and for this reason, even if all the four battalions are martyred, they must complete this task. Of course, when they got this task, all the officers and men of the fourth battalion were already mentally prepared for this, otherwise, they would not have accepted this task.
In the previous battle, with the help of the geographical advantage of the primeval forest, now, the little devil is about to withdraw from the primeval forest, such a geographical advantage is not there, that is to say, in the next battle, the four battalions can only be bloody.
Seeing that the little devils in front of them were not far from withdrawing from the primeval forest, the fourth battalion had to make a decision: at all costs, the little devils in front of them must be dragged in the primeval forest.
There are three advantages to this: First, as long as the little devil in front of him is contained, then the main force of the little devil's mid-lane army will not rush to Sanqiao County, and will inevitably wait for or reinforce this little devil, which is equivalent to dragging the little devil's mid-lane army.
Second, although with the current strength of the fourth battalion, it is very difficult to deal with a brigade and a squadron of little devils, but after all, there is still a lot of strength. But if this group of little devils also withdraws from the primeval forest, at that time, if the fourth battalion wants to complete the final task, it will have to face the entire middle army of the little devils.
Third, the second company of the fourth battalion had already set out to attack the imp's temporary camp, and the main purpose was to blow up the imp's ammunition and cars. According to the prior agreement, it is best to wait for about 3 o'clock in the morning for the best chance of sneak attack. And if you want to get such an opportunity, you must drag the main force of the little devil here, and at least attract the energy of the main force of the little devil, so that the second company will have a hole to drill, and at the same time, the pressure will not be so great when the second company faces the counterattack of the little devil...... In the same way, in the face of the defense of the main force of the little devils, and in the face of the small number of troops left in place by the little devils, it is clear which is more important and which is more important.
To put it bluntly, this is that after the fourth battalion saw that it was no longer able to prevent the main force of the little devils from withdrawing from the primeval forest, they planned to use themselves as their goal to attract the main force of the little devils, create favorable conditions for the second company, and complete the second company...... Now, the Fourth Battalion has only one way to achieve the ultimate operational goal of this battle.
There is another problem that everyone ignores - small steel cannons!
The little devil has a large number of small steel cannons, and there are plenty of shells, and the fourth battalion does not even have a small steel cannon now. If you wait for the little devils in front of you to retreat to the edge of the forest, then the little devils on the top of the mountain behind Qinglong Mountain can completely set up small steel cannons and give the little devils in front of them extremely powerful fire support.
On the other hand, now drag the little devil in front of him here, a distance of dozens of meters, even if the little devil's small steel cannon can hit here, but, at a distance of dozens of meters, the little devil will never dare to fire, because it is easy to cause accidental injury. And if it is close, the little devil's small steel cannon can be accurately shelled.
From this point of view, dragging this little devil here is also equivalent to indirectly making the little devil's powerful firepower advantage unable to play.
At this time, the distance between this little devil and the mountain behind Qinglong Mountain was not even a kilometer.
This little devil obviously has all kinds of advantages in hand, but because of the fatal wound of ordering them to withdraw quickly, he has been harassed and suppressed by the fourth battalion, which makes the little devils who have always thought they are invincible in the world how can they stand it, and the nest that has been held in their hearts for a long time has already come up with it.
No, seeing that they are about to withdraw, the little devils want to teach the fourth battalion a good lesson at this time, so that the fourth battalion understands that they are not easy to bully.
In such a state of mind, this little devil wants to take this opportunity to be ashamed...... Anyway, after this battle, everyone can just withdraw out, and there is no need to worry about the enemy's muzzle appearing under a tree next to them. With such a close distance, you can feel it even if it's dark, and there is no possibility of getting lost...... Relatively speaking, this little devil also thinks that this is their last chance to be ashamed, and naturally refuses to let it go.
So, the little devils did not divide their troops this time, but fought back together, in order to be able to eat the entire fourth battalion in one go. The fourth battalion naturally did not show weakness, and also rushed head-on.
In this way, it was decided that the next battle would be extremely fierce.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da! da! da......"
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
This time, the fourth battalion took out all the family resources, and even used the four heavy machine guns that were not used much, making it clear that they wanted to fight to the death with the little devils in front of them.
In the same way, the little devil is not polite here, everything that can be used is available, not to mention anything else, there are four heavy machine guns alone...... They originally had six, but as a result, one was broken, the other fell during the retreat, and as a result, it was captured by the four battalions, so that now the fire of the two sides is equal in terms of heavy machine guns.
By the way, an interesting thing: because the development of the assault regiment is basically from scratch, and most of the weapons are captured from the hands of the little devils. Therefore, even if the little devil heavy machine gun did not have much ammunition left, because of the existence of a safe place on the side of the fourth battalion, there was enough ammunition, and even a lot of ammunition for the heavy machine gun was prepared. That is to say, as long as it is a weapon captured by the little devil, the men and horses of the assault regiment can use it, there is no problem of asymmetrical bullet caliber, and it is very easy to use.
In this original chase battle, all the heavy machine guns were used as soon as they came up, which showed the determination of both sides to fight to the death.
At the beginning, the two sides continued to shoot, and even kept approaching, and the speed at which the muzzles of the guns, especially the muzzles of light and heavy machine guns, flickered, and even connected the surrounding flashes.
Fighting and fighting, both sides felt that such mutual shooting could not suppress the desire to kill the enemy in their hearts, so they sent each other's auxiliary forces to attack each other's flanks, so when these auxiliary squads came into contact with the enemy, they staged a tragic white-knives battle.
Then, in addition to firing at each other, the two sides began to approach each other directly from the front in order to eliminate forces.
And such proximity is destined to be so tragic...... In the case of a little devil who survived the war, it is: the soldiers of the assault regiment used * as a bayonet.
From this sentence, you can feel how tragic this battle is.
Even, according to post-war statistics, the number of men lost in this small area of warfare, whether friend or foe, was far greater than the number of corpses found. In fact, of the nearly 300 people killed in the battle, only 123 were intact corpses...... Many people were blown up and their bones were gone, and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood.
To such an extent, people's minds are hot, and basically there will be no surrender, and even death will have to pull a few enemies to support their backs.
After all, an unusually tragic battle is not something that can be staged by one side, but by the willpower and flesh and blood of both sides......
I don't know if it's because the fight is too intense, both sides focus on how to destroy the opponent, and ignore one point: it's already dark!
