Chapter 956: Reinforcements Leave (Third Update!) )
At the headquarters of the 135th Wing, the tense mood of the wing commander finally improved a lot.
Two infantry squadrons and anti-tank squadrons coordinated with each other and not only blocked the assault of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army, but also managed to destroy three of the armored vehicles, forcing them to retreat.
"Sir, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army has been defended by us...... As long as two brigades of reinforcements come over, we will be able to flank them inside and outside and take them out! The chief of staff of the wing reported with an excited face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the communications officer rushed over with a very unsightly face.
After glancing at the Wing Commander and Chief of Staff, he directly showed a hesitant expression.
"What's the matter? Report directly! The chief of staff ordered with a frown.
"Hey!" The communications officer hurriedly replied: "The second brigade is in a hurry, and they encountered the interception force of the Eighth Route Army on the way over!" They are armed with armored vehicles, they have great firepower, and the troops have already lost almost an infantry squadron. ”
"The rest of the troops are retreating to their positions, and there is no way to reinforce us!"
"Nani?" The wing captain's brows furrowed suddenly, and a few words came to his mind: "Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" ”
"Commander ~ The third brigade is in an emergency, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army on the way over, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and they are retreating to the station under the surprise attack of the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army!"
The wing captain finally reacted, and shouted with a shocked face: "This is not just a siege of the city and reinforcements~ The Eighth Route Army not only wants to kill our reinforcements, but also wants to eat us, eat our entire infantry wing!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of violent explosions rang out nearby.
"Shelling...... The Eighth Route Army shelled us with the artillery we left on the artillery positions! The chief of staff cried out in disbelief.
"Sir, the blocking force has been shelled, the enemy has used at least one brigade of mountain artillery and a large number of mortars, we have no position, not even trenches, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and artillery support is urgently needed!"
"Let them hold on, I don't have artillery support here. But without the retreat order, no one can take a step back! The chief of staff of the wing decisively ordered.
Then he looked at the co-captain.
"I'm sure that the Eighth Route Army wants to eat our entire wing here!" The co-captain was even more determined in his judgment.
Then he pointed to the village next to him and ordered: "All the troops have entered the village, rely on the village to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and start acting now!" ”
"Also, contact the division commander, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a large number of troops and armored troops to annihilate our 135th Wing, please send reinforcements to hurry up~ The Eighth Route Army has armored vehicles, and it is best to have tanks in the reinforcements, which can easily destroy the tanks of armored vehicles!"
Nearly 2,000 devils began to move towards the village under the shells that kept falling overhead.
Because the shelling was so fierce, they left behind a lot of heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns that required several people to move.
Of course, there are also the corpses of the devils who have been blown up everywhere and the wounded devils who have not yet died.
Outside Xiangfen City, after all the infantry scattered around Xiangfen City was concentrated, Lieutenant General Ito did not have so many worries.
Although the Eighth Route Army in the city broke through and ran away, at least he didn't have to worry about the troops at hand being broken by the surrounding Eighth Route Army tonight!
"Division commander, something happened...... "I finally got ready to rest, and the chief of staff's hurried footsteps and panicked reports sounded outside the tent.
Lieutenant General Ito had to sit up from the bed.
As soon as the chief of staff rushed in, he hurriedly reported: "Division commander, the 135th Infantry Wing was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army also dispatched armored vehicles, and the troops suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements!" ”
"Map~" Lieutenant General Ito's brows furrowed and he blurted out an order.
The chief of staff had already prepared, and immediately put a copy of the map he had brought over on the table of the begging tent, and then pointed out the specific locations of the three brigades of the 135th Wing.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning...... Although the distance from us to the station of the 135th Wing is not far in a straight line, there is a river in the middle, and we have to go around to a place where there is a bridge to pass, and the time is at least twice as long as we expected! ”
"What then?" The chief of staff is in a hurry!
"They even sent out armored units, and three brigades were attacked at the same time with heavy losses. Their main force must have been killed, this is a clear plan to eat our 135 Wing! ”
"The artillery battle that the division strengthened for them was taken by the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army at the very beginning. Without artillery support, if there is no more troop support, they will definitely not hold out until dawn! ”
Lieutenant General Ito stared at the map and did not answer.
After hesitating for a full minute, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the cavalry troops, the two tank squadrons of the tank brigade, to set off immediately and reinforce the 135th Wing!" They have strong assault ability and fast speed, and they can get to the battlefield in time even if they take a detour! ”
"What about the division headquarters...... The Eighth Route Army, which broke through from Xiangfen City tonight, captured two tanks that we were equipping...... If the tanks are all transferred away, and they use the tanks to attack us, our remaining armored vehicles will definitely not be able to stop us! The chief of staff immediately raised his concerns.
Lieutenant General Ito shook his head in reply.
"Don't be careful! We are also armed with anti-tank guns, as long as the Eighth Route Army has the courage to dispatch those two tanks, the anti-tank squadron will definitely destroy them as soon as possible! ”
"Boom ......"
The roar of huge engines and the sound of horses' hooves soon resounded on the battlefield.
Fourteen tanks remained in the tank brigade, one by one rushing out of the garrison.
More than 1,300 cavalry, escorts rushed out together on both sides of the tank. The huge movement can be heard clearly from a distance, and Wang Ping is no exception.
From the moment Wang Ping received the telegram from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the former enemy headquarters of the new regiment kept a calm face and stared at the map motionless.
A loud roar finally made him move.
A pair of eyes staring at the map quickly shot out two sharp rays, and a touch of killing emanated from him.
"The devil's cavalry and chariot troops have been dispatched~ Order the reconnaissance company to figure out how many reinforcements the devil has dispatched, especially the number of combat vehicles, how many tanks, how many armored vehicles, the clearer the better!"
As soon as the operational staff officer left, Huang Yuanqiang stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Regiment commander, our opportunity has come?" ”
"Still waiting!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.
"We have to wait for them to cross the river, and then we blow up the bridge before we can get moving!"
Li Wen's eyes lit up and he replied: "This method is good, blow up the bridge, the devil reinforcements will not be able to come back, and we can take care of the little devils in front of us!" ”
"It's not as simple as you think......" Wang Ping retorted.
"Don't forget, the devils also have a 136 wing, so even if we start to assault the devils outside Xiangfen City, we must fight quickly!"
"Also, blow up the bridge, although our pressure is much less, but the pressure on the cavalry battalion and the engineer company is not ordinary!"
Speaking of this, Wang Ping directly showed a worried expression on his face.
