The fortification group prepared by Wang Ping for the devil has a total of four lines of defense!

From two o'clock in the afternoon until five o'clock, the first three lines of defense were taken, and there were two more air support in between!

"General, the aviation reports that it is getting dark very early, and from now until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they will not be able to send the air force to support us!" The chief of staff reported with a frown.

The whole afternoon did not advance an inch, which can definitely be called a shame for Major General Kawaguchi, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is invincible in the frontal battlefield.

Major General Kawaguchi didn't know how many times he had been angry, so that all his subordinates didn't dare to say a word more, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and vent all the anger of Major General Kawaguchi on himself.

"Eight Grid Yalu, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's will to resist is so strong, if it was other troops guarding the position, it would have collapsed under the fierce attack of the imperial army!" Rear Admiral Kawaguchi replied with anger.

The chief of staff comforted: "General, the Eighth Route Army, like our Imperial Army, is not afraid of death, and in terms of will to fight, it is no worse than the Imperial Army. In addition, our opponent's new regiment is more cunning, building a very strong position, and arranging a large number of anti-artillery fortifications that can withstand aerial bombs! ”

"With these fortified bunkers, many of the advantages of the imperial army have been weakened."

"In this case, the imperial army can only fight hard with the enemy, consume the opponent's strength little by little, and then take the position!"

"In the humble opinion, it is already very good that we can take the three lines of defense of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in one afternoon, and a forward position!"

Major General Kawaguchi's face looked much better, but the anger in his heart still surged upward.

After finally taking a deep breath to suppress it, he stared at the battlefield and ordered: "There is still a line of defense in the entire fortification group, it must be the strongest line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, after all, after crossing this line of defense, we will enter their base area!" ”

"General, you mean, the last line of defense of this fortification group in front of you must be the most difficult to fight!" The chief of staff asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Not bad!" Major General Kawaguchi affirmed.

"The line of defense is the most difficult to fight, and we have no aviation support. After dark, our firepower advantage will also be greatly weakened, and it will be even more difficult to take this line of defense! ”

"Order, the troops stopped the offensive and turned to the defense, leaving an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army at the front to defend the three lines of defense that we had taken down in the afternoon. The rest of the troops, camped outside the fortifications, we will continue the offensive tomorrow! ”

As soon as the Japanese offensive stopped, the three battalion commanders gathered at the former enemy headquarters of the new regiment.

Three people, each with a very unsightly face, lowered their heads, and didn't say a word.

Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, and the unemployed soldiers of the fourth battalion, even had wounds on their bodies, and the red blood had soaked out of the gauze, staining the military uniforms red.

"Let's all report on their casualties!" Wang Ping broke the heavy atmosphere of the command and asked.

"I'll talk about it first...... "Xiao Yunshan, the commander of the second battalion, was the first to stand up.

"I brought two companies plus troops directly under the battalion headquarters, a total of about 400 people, and now there are 158 people who can continue to fight, and the remaining 52 people are seriously injured, and all the others are sacrificed, directly losing half of the troops!"

"The third battalion also has 400 people participating in the battle, and now there are still 142 people who can continue to fight, and the remaining 69 people have lost their combat effectiveness due to minor and serious injuries, and all the others have died, directly losing half of the troops!" Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, followed closely and reported.

The faces of the four battalion of the invalids were much better, and among the three lines of defense that were taken by the devils, the third line of defense he defended was the most fierce attack by the devils, and he not only had to be bombed by the mountains and fields, but also suffered two rounds of bombardment by the little devils' aviation.

However, because many of the soldiers of the 4th Battalion had spent time in frontal battles and knew how to dodge shelling and bombardment, the casualties of the 4th Battalion were much less.

"Commander, the casualties of the fourth battalion are slightly smaller...... But 145 people were also sacrificed, 45 people lost their combat effectiveness because of minor and serious injuries, and more than 200 of the more than 400 people I brought can still continue to fight! ”

"Slap ......" As soon as the invalids finished speaking, there was a sound of slamming the door at the door.

The commander held the armed belt in his hand, slammed it on the sleeper at the entrance of the headquarters, and then walked in in a rage.

When he saw Wang Ping, he scolded: "Wang Ping, have you won a few battles, are you going to have your tail in the sky, and you dare to fight a positional battle with the devil!" ”

"I heard it all just now, three battalions will lose five or six hundred people in one afternoon, how many people in your new regiment can withstand such losses!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you are now the head of the regiment, I would have wanted to shoot you right now!"

The deputy chief of staff also came in at this time and said with a dissatisfied face.

"Wang Ping, the casualties of the troops are indeed a bit large...... If guerrilla warfare and movement warfare were used against the little devils, the casualties would certainly not be so great! ”

"I know you, you never suffer losses in wars, you just want to take advantage. Explain to us right away why you chose to fight a positional battle with the devils here that we don't have any advantage in. If you can't explain it clearly, I'm sure that although your commander can't shoot you, he will definitely remove you from your post! ”

Seeing the commander and the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters appear together at his former enemy headquarters, Wang Ping was stunned for a long time and did not react.

Because he couldn't think of a reason why the two of them were here together.

"Commander, chief, why are you here!"

Seeing the political commissar who walked in later, he immediately asked: "Political commissar, the commander and the chief came together, why didn't you send me a telegram." Now the Japanese puppet army is attacking with heavy troops, and there are little devils and spies everywhere, what should the chief do if something happens to us! ”

The deputy chief of staff immediately interrupted: "Wang Ping, don't divert the topic, why we come here, you don't care, Political Commissar Huang is here, we won't let you be informed." Now I, Commander Chen, and you, want to know, why are you fighting a positional battle with devils, resulting in so many casualties among the troops! ”

Wang Ping didn't explain, but replied confidently: "Please rest assured, the two chiefs, I, Wang Ping, have always only taken advantage of the devil and not suffered losses, and this time it is the same." ”

"If the two chiefs want to know the reason why I chose to fight a positional battle with the devils, you can choose to observe our next combat meeting here, and you will know when the time comes."

"Okay, we'll listen here!" Before the deputy chief of staff could speak, Commander Chen, who was still holding back his anger, sat on a stool next to him.

The arrival of the commander and the deputy chief of staff made the atmosphere at the command quite tense, especially several battalion commanders, chiefs like the commander, who basically had no contact with them in peacetime. Now there were two chiefs at once, and they were sitting together in a meeting, which made them nervous and excited at the same time.

Wang Ping, who is full of confidence in himself, is like a nobody, what to do or what to do!

After glancing at a few of his subordinates, he almost asked, "The losses of the troops are large, I admit that." However, didn't everyone find that the combat effectiveness of the troops was stronger. As long as they are soldiers who survive on the battlefield, everyone becomes a well-deserved veteran. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yunshan, the second battalion commander, was the first to agree!

"My fourth company lost more than half, and in the afternoon they mobilized dozens of people from the prisoners to replenish the troops, and in time there was no run-in training, and I can still see at a glance that the combat effectiveness of the fourth company is much stronger than before the start of the war. If you go through some more running-in training, the combat effectiveness will be at least fifty percent higher. ”

"Murderous, the troops have a murderous spirit!" Yan Song followed suit.
