Chapter 903: Midnight Assault (Second Update!) )
The speed of road repair by the bulldozer was very fast, so Lieutenant General Ito, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was not in a hurry at all. Apart from the constant orders to the cavalry units to strengthen their vigilance, no other orders were given.
As soon as it was six o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had walked nearly 30 kilometers.
"Division commander, today's marching mileage is nearly ten kilometers less than we estimated, do you want to rush for another two hours to make up for the missing ten kilometers!" The chief of staff walked up to Lieutenant General Ito and reminded in a whisper.
"No, the troops stop advancing, camp on the spot, and go again tomorrow...... As for the ten kilometers less, it's a big deal that we spend an extra day on the march! Lieutenant General Ito refused without hesitation.
Seeing the incomprehension on the chief of staff's face, Lieutenant General Ito suddenly had a smile on his face, and then asked rhetorically.
"Do you think about why my guts have suddenly become so small, not as arrogant as the front line, and don't take the Chinese army in their eyes at all!"
The chief of staff immediately showed an embarrassed expression, nodding his head, not shaking his head.
Lieutenant General Ito did not pursue this question, and explained: "This is the first time that our division has fought with the Eighth Route Army, and I don't want the soldiers to take risks until we find out the combat style and strength of the new regiment!" ”
"Also, according to what I know about the Eighth Route Army, night combat is what they are best at. At night, neither our air superiority nor our firepower superiority could be brought into play. Therefore, we must try to avoid fighting at night, which is to defeat the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings, and it is taboo for soldiers! ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of the Eighth Route Army, it's that I don't want the soldiers to die before they even arrive in Linfen City. The soldiers under our command are all elite of the imperial army, and even if they die, they will die on the frontal battlefield, instead of being killed by the sneak attack and cold guns and cannons of the Eighth Route Army, which is too cost-effective! ”
The chief of staff replied with a look of sudden realization: "The commander of the division is wise, and he has been taught in his humble position, so he will go and give the order to camp on the spot now." ”
"Regiment commander, the devils have stopped, 30,000 elites, camp along the highway......" Li Wen reported with a solemn face.
Throughout the day, the Japanese army was as vigilant as ever, and did not give themselves any chance to sneak attack them at all.
Wang Ping's face became even more solemn: "The head of the Devil Division is more cautious than we imagined, and it is difficult to deal with!" The march was stopped before it was dark, in clear preparation for our night attack on them...... Levin, this time we have met an opponent! ”
Then very decisively made the decision: "Can't wait any longer!" Since the devil doesn't give us a chance, then we create it ourselves! ”
"Li Wen, Tang Guangxin, as well as Deputy Company Commander Zhang and Company Commander Yang, tonight we will cooperate with each other and beat them hard, so that the devils know that our new group is here, and it is absolutely impossible to go all the way to Linfen unimpeded!"
Taking advantage of the night to attack the devil's station, even if Wang Ping does not give an order, Li Wen will do it.
Although the devils are very vigilant, the direct team is not vegetarian, as long as they are not afraid of startling the snake, Li Wen has many ways to deal with them. What's more, with the founder and head of the special forces of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, Li Wen has even more heart.
However, Li Wen's face did not show a fanatical expression before the battle like Tang Guangxin and the others, and he still had a worried expression.
"But, Regiment Commander, what about the Devil Sapper Wing and the bulldozers they equipped?"
"If these two threats are not solved, the highway that Company Commander Yang and they have worked so hard to destroy will be useless!"
Wang Ping replied with a calm face: "The devil has sappers, and we also have sappers!" ”
"In the morning, I guessed that the little devils might not give us a chance to sneak up on them, and then I sent a telegram asking the commissar to transfer the engineer platoon. If you use a car at night, you should arrive at 3 o'clock in the morning. By tomorrow, everyone will know how one of our engineer companies can kill the devil and an engineer wing......"
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Japanese garrison, which stretched for several kilometers, slowly became quiet.
Most of the devils huddled in tents to rest, and outside the tents were a pile of blazing bonfires, patrols, and machine-gun bunkers separated by hundreds of meters from each other, warning everyone around who wanted to approach that this was a military stronghold and no one should approach. Otherwise, light and heavy machine guns behind machine gun bunkers would definitely beat the enemy into a sieve.
"Captain, there are devil sentinels in front, one open sentry and two dark sentry, cooperating with each other...... Fifty meters behind is the path of the devil patrol, and every ten minutes a patrol passes through it......"
"More than a hundred meters behind is the machine gun bunkers arranged by the devils around the station, and each bunker has several little devils......"
"Can you find a way to erase the devil light and dark sentinel in front of you......" Li Wen asked with a frown.
The subordinate shook his head and replied: "It's almost impossible to ......"
"The devils are too vigilant, and their light and dark sentinels are arranged in a triangle, twenty meters apart from each other, unless we attack at the same time. Otherwise, the devils at other posts will definitely fire warning shots. And if we don't get rid of the front sentinels, it's impossible for us to get close to the two dark posts behind! ”
"Then go straight to the assault!" Li Wen decided to use the most direct and violent means to deal with these devils.
"Assaulter, get as close as possible to the devil post, as soon as my gun sounds, the first team is responsible for the devils in the front three posts, the second team is responsible for the three posts on the left, and the third team is responsible for the three posts on the right......"
"After taking the sentry post, quickly assault the devil station, the sniper is responsible for taking out the devil machine gunner in the nearby machine gun bunker, and the fireman provides fire cover!"
"However, as soon as they receive my retreat order and see me give the signal to retreat, the three detachments must immediately disengage from the battle and retreat."
"You must remember that our task is not to destroy how many devils there are, but to lure the enemy and force the devils to send troops out of the garrison to encircle and suppress us. As soon as they leave the station, we have a way to clean them up! ”
"Da Da Da ......"
The assault hand held the submachine gun in his hand, the automatic pistol, suddenly fired, and the dense bullets suddenly flew towards the devil post more than ten meters away.
Regardless of whether the devil was lying on his stomach or squatting, he did not escape the baptism of bullet rain, and was instantly beaten into a sieve.
The "assault ......" is a group of three assaulters, and like a leopard, it jumps up from the hidden grass and rushes towards the road.
"The devil patrol is coming, fire, kill them~" The little devil who was patrolling reacted the fastest, holding a machine gun and rushing over with a rifle. The leader of the first detachment gave the order to shoot after only frowning.
This time, in addition to submachine guns and automatic pistols joining the battle, the firefighters in the back also held the light machine gun in their arms and fired at the little devil who had already entered the field of vision.
The firefight was too close, and the dense bullets killed four or five little devils at once.
The remaining little devils threw themselves on the ground, picked up their rifles and fought back. The Heavy threw the machine gun to the ground and set it on fire.
"Fireman covers, assault hand presses over, grenade grenade!" The detachment leader continued to order.
At this time, the disadvantage of single-shot rifles in close combat became apparent, and in the face of the commandos who were dodging and dodging towards them in the night, all the bullets they fired were empty.
The devil was in a hurry and shouted for machine gun fire.
However, their machine gunners had been so desperately suppressed by the two machine guns equipped by the fire team that they did not even have a chance to shoot up, let alone provide them with fire support.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Soon, explosions sounded on the battlefield.
Three grenades exploded in the air, and although the devils were lying on the ground, holding their heads, the fragments of the grenades falling from the sky still drilled several bloody holes in their backs!
