Chapter 754: Matsumoto Regrets It (Third Update!) )
The ambush of the Japanese reinforcements was the fourth battalion of the new 1st Regiment, and the direct commander was the regiment commander Wang Ping.
Seeing that the remaining Japanese puppet army was compressed to the slope on the other side of the road and waited for reinforcements, Wang Ping knew that the time left for him by the devil was running out.
"Commander, the devils must want to wait for their plane to come, hit us with a counterattack, or even kill us!" The commander of the fourth battalion, the Invalids, also saw the purpose of the devil.
Then he frowned and reminded, "I suggest that the flying thunder cannon be lined up." There are not many devils in front of them, as long as a dozen twenty-pound explosive bags are smashed over, the remaining devils will be wiped out! ”
Wang Ping replied helplessly: "If the flying thunder cannon can be used, it will be on a long time ago!" ”
"They don't have explosives packs anymore, and for this battle, I took out all the gunpowder in my stock and lined it up for the flying thunder cannon, but I still ran out!"
As soon as the invalids gritted their teeth, they asked for battle: "Regiment commander, there are no flying thunder cannons, we still have people, and I will personally lead people to charge." Fat to the mouth, it is impossible to let them slip! ”
"Don't worry, we still have hole cards that haven't been played, and we don't need to fight with devils!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.
"Don't forget, we also have a mountain artillery company...... The mountain artillery squadron brought by the devils was killed by us before they could open fire, and they didn't take it with them when they retreated, which happened to be cheap for us. Inform the commander of the mountain artillery company to gather all eight mountain artillery pieces for me, and five shells for one cannon, and bombard me against the Japanese puppet army on the hillside. ”
Eight mountain guns fired together, and after only two salvos, the Japanese puppet army's assembly area was blown up in smoke and dust.
Mountain artillery is different from mortars and infantry guns, even if the devil is lying on the ground, the powerful shock wave can still kill them.
Therefore, every mountain artillery shell can take away several lives, some devils and some puppet soldiers.
The captain of the devil brigade in the middle of the pressure position dodged the shelling under the protection of the guards, but his face did not show any smile and surprise for the rest of his life, but a look of despair, and even a trace of fear in the despair.
The Eighth Route Army, which has always been ridiculed by everyone and is equipped with low-level equipment, not only has mountain artillery, but also has formed mountain artillery units.
Under the attack of an artillery unit of this size, even if he has twice as many of his subordinates, he will not be able to hold his position.
"Immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, farewell telegram: The Eighth Route Army has assembled eight mountain artillery to attack our assembly area, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and there are no fortifications to avoid the shelling for us to hold on, and we will definitely not be able to hold on to the arrival of the air force!"
"However, the humble post will definitely lead the soldiers of his subordinates to fight to the death, try to kill and injure the living forces of the Eighth Route Army, and weaken their strength?"
"Please contact the aviation corps of the brigade commander, and be sure to find the mountain artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army and destroy them."
"All the 600 mountain artillery shells carried out of the city were captured by the Eighth Route Army, if they can't destroy their mountain artillery troops, the Eighth Route Army, which has hundreds of shells, will definitely use these mountain artillery to bring unprecedented losses to the imperial army!"
The headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, the farewell telegram from Sanquan Town, made the headquarters that had just calmed down chaotic again.
The brigade commander, Major General Matsumoto, again turned into an angry lion and saw who bit whom.
In the midst of a series of scolding.
It didn't take long for the chaotic command to become silent, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
"Bage Yalu, what kind of battle is this, the Eighth Route Army did not destroy many people, but instead lost its troops and sent so much equipment and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army. This is not a war at all, it is a capital enemy! ”
"Immediately send a telegram to all combat units on the front line, in the course of the battle, if it is not the opponent, it is necessary to destroy the surplus weapons and ammunition at the critical moment, and absolutely no equipment and ammunition will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army of a regiment before the war, when the battle is over, is likely to fight more and more, and directly become a brigade! ”
"Also, contact the aviation to reinforce Sanquan Town, and you must find and destroy the mountain artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Only one field infantry wing of the Imperial Army is equipped with one mountain artillery squadron, but our opponent has two mountain artillery squadrons and eight mountain artillery, and there are hundreds of shells.
In the town of Sanquan, Major General Matsumoto has lost all hope.
Through these battles, he slowly understood that it was a very bad plan for him to send troops into the Eighth Route Army to grab food, and from the very beginning, he fell into the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, and they used this bad plan to counterattack the Imperial Army and fight the Imperial Army.
The grain was not snatched back, and he lost a large number of imperial troops.
More importantly, they took advantage of the fact that after they sent all their mobile troops out to grab food, they took the opportunity to attack Sanquan Town, so that they could not even take a large-scale reinforcement force, and in the end they could only send two squadrons to reinforce, and then buried two squadrons in vain.
If the troops that reinforced Sanquan Town a few hours ago were a reorganized brigade, Matsumoto was sure that they would definitely not be completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.
Maybe under the cover of aviation, they can counterattack Sanquan Town, recapture Sanquan Town from the Eighth Route Army, and then severely damage or even completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army that entered Sanquan Town.
However, there are no ifs and no regrets in this world.
The town of Sanquan was lost, the reinforcements were finished, and Matsumoto, who regretted it, now had only one thought, to reduce the losses as much as possible. When this battle is over, gather forces and take revenge on the new regiment.
Staring at the sand table, he asked the chief of staff: "How is the battle in Linfenbei!" How long will the aviation arrive! ”
"There is still half an hour left, and the humble post has already ordered our troops to shrink their defenses, hold on and wait for reinforcements, and when the aviation arrives, they will break through under the cover of the aviation and counterattack!"
"Yo Xi, the troops in Linfen North can't be lost anymore!" Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he continued to order: "Don't they still have half a brigade? Now it's dawn, there are aviation reinforcements, and the battlefield is our world! ”
"Let this half of the brigade reinforce the past, join forces with the disabled half of the brigade, and under the cover of aviation, counterattack the Eighth Route Army that attacked them, at least the Eighth Route Army in the north of Linfen will be severely damaged. Sanquan Town is lost, and Linfenbei can't be lost again! ”
Suddenly, a communications staff officer rushed in and interrupted Matsumoto, who was about to continue.
"General, Linfen Beikuyudian!"
"Something's wrong?" Seeing the nervous and panicked expression on the face of the communications staff officer, a very bad premonition quickly appeared in Major General Matsumoto's mind, and he stared at the communications staff officer and asked!
"Hey!" The communications staff officer bowed his head and mustered up the courage to answer.
"The sweeping troops are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army regardless of attrition, and the troops have suffered heavy losses, and it is very likely that they will not be able to hold out to the passage of the aviation!"
"The captain asked the aviation to carry out a covering bombing of the battlefield after the arrival of the aviation troops, destroy all the weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, and prevent the Eighth Route Army from being replenished by a single shot!"
"He also said that the Eighth Route Army consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition in the battle, and as long as there is no new ammunition replenishment, even if they win, the Eighth Route Army operating in the north of Linfen will become a remnant of a soldier with a shortage of guns and ammunition!"
Major General Matsumoto was stunned for a full ten seconds before he reacted.
"Half of the infantry brigade is gone! Eight Grid Yalu, what kind of battle is this, losing so many troops in one night, is it the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army that has become stronger, or the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army has become weaker! ”
