Chapter 914: Lack of Greed (First Update!) )
"Tanaka-kun, something is wrong, if there is still a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front, so that we will be consumed round after round, it won't be long before our three cavalry squadrons will be wiped out!" The other squadron leader reminded with a frown.
"This must be the new tactics of the Eighth Route Army...... Up to now, our losses have exceeded one cavalry squadron, and the Eighth Route Army has been eliminated less than a squad, with a casualty ratio of ten to one, no matter how many cavalry we have, we can't withstand such attrition~" Another squadron leader followed suit and added.
"Stop......" Tanaka Shaozo looked unwilling, but he couldn't ignore the opinions of the two squadron leaders, after all, they were both squadron leaders, although their own rank was one level higher than theirs......
"We are almost two kilometers away from the station, and we are almost at the pursuit distance set by the division commander...... If we continue to pursue, we will disobey the military order......" Tanaka Shaosa didn't want to fight either, especially after seeing the casualties of his own troops, this idea of ending the pursuit was even stronger. With a roll of his eyes, he found a reasonable reason to retreat.
The tent where Lieutenant General Ito was staying had a very solemn atmosphere.
The chief of staff, the commander of the cavalry wing, who is usually a high commander, at this time all bowed his head and stood in front of Lieutenant General Ito without saying a word.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road...... This is the elite cavalry unit of the Imperial Japanese Army...... Three cavalry squadrons could not even wipe out dozens of Eighth Route Army, and they suffered heavy losses...... This is an elite family, they are all stupid pigs......"
"And the aviation, what do they eat...... I will complain to the command of the Front, I will let them come and escort us, not let them hover overhead, but let them support the infantry and attack our enemy from the air......"
"The cavalry troops encountered several lines of defense of the Eighth Route Army in a row, and if they attacked from the air, even if they dropped a bomb, they would suffer heavy losses...... Eight grid tooth road, the air force is also a group of cowards! ”
The next actions of the troops also need a large number of aviation support, and if the division commander and the aviation force fall out at this time, a small move by the aviation force may cause huge losses to the division and regiment. The chief of staff would never allow such a thing to happen, and explained with a frown.
"The division commander is angry, it's not the fault of the aviation, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and the aviation can't attack at all~"
"They have no more than one platoon of troops on each line of defense, but they are armed with a large number of machine guns, submachine guns, and automatic pistols against our cavalry units!"
"Not only that, but the strength of one of their platoons is scattered on the defensive line with a frontal width of more than a hundred meters, surrounded by bushes, and unless they take the initiative to expose the target, the aviation will not be able to detect them from the sky at all!"
"Also, they held out for only one minute on each line of defense, and after inflicting a lot of casualties on our infantry troops, they retreated, and in just one minute, the aviation did not have time to dive bombing and attack them......"
Lieutenant General Ito's face looked a lot better, but he still scolded loudly: "Eight Grid Yalu, no matter what the reason, I didn't destroy the enemy, and I suffered heavy losses, this is a fact~ The Eighth Route Army has eaten our troops again and again under the noses of tens of thousands of our troops, this is definitely a shame for our division, a shame for Ito~"
After finishing, he stared at a few subordinates and asked rhetorically: "Calling you here now is not to hold you responsible, but to solve the problem...... The sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army just now was successful, and we took out more than one squadron of our cavalry troops...... I'm sure they will continue to attack us in the same way~ We must have countermeasures, take advantage of the opportunity of the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack us next time, fight a counterattack, kill them, and wash away the shame......"
After more than an hour of heated discussion, several of his subordinates all left the tent with excitement......
To the disappointment of the devils, for the next few hours, until dark, the new regiment did not launch another attack.
Until the infantry took over the guard patrol around the station, the Eighth Route Army did not appear.
Killing more than 100 elite cavalry of the Japanese army at the cost of an infantry squad was definitely a big victory for the Eighth Route Army.
According to Li Wen's idea, before dark, strike while the iron is hot and give the little devils another sneak attack, even if it is enough to kill one more of their cavalry squadrons......
However, Wang Ping refused.
"Commander, why...... You should have seen the battle just now, the devil cavalry has no way to deal with our tactics at all, and can only be beaten passively! If we fight again, even if the devils are vigilant, I can guarantee to kill a squadron of cavalry from them! ”
Wang Ping frowned and asked, "Are you really a fool when you are a devil?" ”
"Can you play it once and then play it again......"
Li Wen still wanted to fight again, because when he retreated just now, he found a good battlefield suitable for sneak attacks on devils, and continued to insist: "But, regiment commander, we have clearly analyzed just now, and the devil cavalry has no way to do anything about the sneak attack tactics we are using!" ”
"There is really no cavalry, as long as the terrain is suitable, the devil cavalry can only ram our position, and then chase our butts and beat behind, but what about the infantry, the devil brings infantry in the middle of the cavalry, and brings a large number of machine gunners, how are you going to let the troops retreat......"
"There are also grenadiers, don't forget, the grenadiers of the little devils can be accurate one by one, if they equip the cavalry with a large number of grenadiers, and when they encounter our defense line, they will first smash dozens of grenadier grenades, how can the troops kill and injure the devil cavalry. When the time comes, not only will you not be able to kill the devil cavalry, but your own people will also fall into it, and you won't be able to withdraw if you want to~"
Li Wen's face was still confident just now, and at this time, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared, even though it was very cold now, he still broke out in cold sweat.
He was frightened by Wang Ping's explanation.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Commander, what should we do then?" Don't fight? ”
"Fight, of course you have to fight......" Wang Ping replied without hesitation.
Then the conversation changed and continued: "However, when dealing with devils, there is a principle that must not be violated! ”
"The more I fight with the devils in front of us, the more I feel their horror and cunning!"
"To deal with such an enemy, no matter what tactical tactics, you can only use them once, and you must not use them twice!"
"You know, as the battle continues, these devils get to know us better and better!"
"In order to better attack them, and to achieve the maximum results at the lowest cost, we must use endless means to make them unclear about our combat style, and they are always in a situation of being beaten passively!"
"So, we won't fight cavalry today, and when it gets dark, we will find an opportunity to beat their infantry."
"If you can kill two or three hundred devils through a sneak attack in one day and one night, and you will be two or three thousand little devils in ten days, this result is already very good, you can't be greedy and insufficient, but be bitten by a snake......
