Chapter 178: Collecting Interest (Second Update!) )

"General, Qiushui Shaozo telegraphed, the Eighth Route Army that blocked them suddenly retreated, and they are marching in a hurry to reinforce the west of the city!" A communications staff officer hurriedly ran into the war room and reported.

"It's not good, it must be the Eighth Route Army that wants to run!" Major General Ono immediately reacted and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried phone rang in the war room.

The combat staff officer picked up the phone and listened to it for less than five seconds before his face changed.

Then as soon as he put down the phone, he stammered and reported: "General, the imperial army troops blocking the west of the city report that the Eighth Route Army that was confronting them suddenly disappeared. Now they have occupied the west of the city, but not a single Eighth Route Army has been found, and our warehouse in the west of the city has been emptied! ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army really escaped, and we were deceived by the Eighth Route Army again!" Ono was the first to react, and then roared and scolded.

"Scammed?" The chief of staff was puzzled and asked rhetorically!

Ono affirmed with a gloomy face: "The purpose of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Laiyuan City is not to take this county seat, but for the large amount of materials, equipment and ammunition that we have stored in the warehouse in the west of the city!" ”

"Haven't you seen it clearly? They took the material warehouse in the west of the city and turned the offensive into defense. At that time, I thought that it was our reinforcements that blocked the front of the Eighth Route Army, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, and the Eighth Route Army has no intention of continuing the offensive at all, all of which is our wishful thinking! ”

"I'm sure that if we had ordered reinforcements to continue attacking the west of the city, the result would definitely not be the same, at least it would have delayed the time for the Eighth Route Army to transfer supplies!"

At this time, a staff officer suddenly proposed: "General, since the Eighth Route Army has brought a large amount of supplies to retreat, then they will definitely not be able to move fast." We can order the Qiushui Brigade that has not yet entered the city to hunt them down! ”

"Yaga, are you a stupid pig! Qiushui Shaozuo is only equipped with mortars, and he can't even help a blocking force of the Eighth Route Army, let alone the main force of the Eighth Route Army! Also, do you know how much equipment we have hoarded in the warehouse in the west of the city, and the Eighth Route Army, which has been supplemented by these heavy weapons, can not only easily block the attack of Qiushui Shaozuo, but also set up an ambush halfway and eat the Qiushui brigade! ”

The chief of staff on the side hurriedly explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the requirements of the military department, each infantry brigade of our brigade is equipped with a heavy machine gun squadron, and the brigade is directly subordinate to a mortar brigade!" In total, five heavy machine-gun squadrons, four mortar squadrons. ”

"But because of the limited time, we still have two heavy machine gun squadrons and two mortar squadrons that have not been formed, plus the heavy machine gun company that the Imperial Allied Army has not formed, a total of 36 heavy machine guns and 24 mortars are scattered in various warehouses in the city."

"Although most of these heavy weapons are concentrated in the ammunition depot in the center of the city, in order to prevent Laiyuan City from being attacked, the defending troops can easily obtain equipment and ammunition supplies, and three mortars and three heavy machine guns are placed in warehouses in each direction of the city, in addition to a lot of light machine guns and rifles. As for ammunition, it was enough for half a month's combat needs of an infantry brigade. ”

"With the replenishment of these weapons and ammunition, although the Qiushui Brigade is a reinforced brigade, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army still far exceeds that of the Qiushui Brigade."

Ono said with a calm face: "We have already lost a warehouse, lost a large number of Imperial Army troops and Imperial Cooperative Army troops, and we don't want to lose another reinforced infantry brigade!" ”

The operational staff officer who had just proposed hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "General, I have not thought through my humble duties and ask for punishment." ”

Ono waved his hand and did not speak.

As a general, if you still worry about such a small matter with your subordinates, then the general's measurement is too small.

This is not counting, in the future, in this war room, there will be more than a dozen combat staff officers, large and small, and no one will rush to give their opinions to themselves.

"Boom ......" At this moment, two faint explosions suddenly reached everyone's ears in the war room.

The artillery staff officer was the first to react: "It's the explosion of the infantry artillery shell!" ”

Another staff officer shouted: "The sound of artillery came from the stronghold on the street, could it be that the stronghold on the street has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army again!" ”

"Contact the street base immediately and ask what's going on!" Major General Ono's already frowning brow wrinkled even deeper at this time.

Soon, a communications staff officer rushed into the war room: "Report to the chief, the telephone contact between the county town and the stronghold has been interrupted, and we used the radio to contact Aoki Shaosa, but Aoki Shaozo is chasing and killing the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold with the main force of the stronghold, and he is currently at least twelve kilometers away from the stronghold, and he doesn't know the situation of the stronghold!" ”

"Bageya Road, it must be Aoki's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain by the Eighth Route Army!" Major General Ono reacted immediately.

Then a pair of eyes stared at the map in front of them.

After reading the telegram, the chief of staff immediately reminded: "General, according to Aoki's reply, he only left more than 100 imperial troops in the stronghold, and if the infantry artillery shells just now were hit by the Eighth Route Army, the more than 100 imperial troops would definitely not be able to hold on for even ten minutes." The stronghold is in danger, and it must be supported! ”

"Also, we have also hoarded a large number of weapons and ammunition in the stronghold on the street, if the Eighth Route Army takes the stronghold and captures these weapons and ammunition, then the strength of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will definitely increase greatly, and it will be difficult to destroy them at that time, and many warriors will fall into the hands of bullets produced by the empire itself!"

"How many weapons and ammunition are there!" Ono asked rhetorically with a frown.

"The ammunition depot alone hoarded the equipment of a reinforced squadron. In addition, the equipment of the Imperial Army killed and seriously wounded in battle can also form a reinforced squadron, and the equipment of the remaining troops can form a reinforced squadron, and finally there are two infantry guns! The chief of staff replied with a serious face.

"The equipment of the three reinforced squadrons is enough for the Eighth Route Army to form a reinforced battalion, Baga!" Ono couldn't help but scold.

Then he ordered: "Contact Qiushui Shaozuo and immediately return to the stronghold on the street!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked the stronghold on the street was not the main force in the first place, and after a part of the infantry was transferred from the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army that remained was definitely even less and could not be threatened."

"After rushing to the stronghold on the street, if the Eighth Route Army does not retreat, it will be eliminated on the spot."

"If the Eighth Route Army has already left the stronghold on the street with the capture, immediately pursue them, eliminate them, and recapture the supplies and equipment!"

"In addition, contact Aoki Shaozuo, immediately stop chasing and killing the Eighth Route Army, return to the Shangjie stronghold, and work with the Qiushui Brigade to attack the front and rear to eliminate the Eighth Route Army attacking the Shangjie stronghold!"

"From the very beginning of this battle, we were led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. Now that the battle is over, we should come back with some interest! ”

"The Eighth Route Army, which attacked the stronghold on the street, is the interest I want. Tell Akisui Shaozo and Aoki Shaozo that it can't be a task to play, and military law is engaged! ”
