Chapter 968: The Strong Man Breaks His Wrist (Third Update!) )
Lieutenant General Ito's words made the command suddenly quiet.
However, it didn't last long before the silence was broken by the sound of cannon fire again at the station.
"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack again......" the chief of staff shouted anxiously.
"All troops are on alert and reinforce the front-line defenders at any time~ Also, during the battle, the main thing is to repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army and try to avoid casualties!" Lieutenant General Ito, who has no solution for the time being, can only bite the bullet and deal with it in the old way.
This time, the gunfire of the offensive lasted only ten minutes before it ended.
Under the anxious waiting of Lieutenant General Ito, it took more than ten minutes for the chief of staff to rush over, and his face was solemn.
As soon as he came in, he complained: "Division commander, this problem must be solved!" ”
"Just now, in just ten minutes of fighting, we suffered nearly 200 casualties, half dead and half wounded...... If we continue to fight like this, as long as the Eighth Route Army has a sufficient number of shells in its hands, we will definitely lose more than 1,000 casualties overnight~"
"Also, the road next to the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army base area must have also been destroyed, even if we concentrate all our troops to build the road, a maximum of 20 kilometers a day, from here out of the Eighth Route Army base to Linfen, there are nearly 70 kilometers, which means that we still have to spend three nights in their base area. There were 1,000 casualties each night, and the total of the four nights combined was 4,000. If the Eighth Route Army also comes to attack us during the day, it is possible that all the casualties will add up to 5,000 people! ”
The chief of staff was not alarmist at all, and said that the data was still preserved.
The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ito, was well aware of this fact, however, he could not think of a solution to this problem.
The time, the place, the people and the ...... They are all on the side of the new regiment, and the only thing they can rely on is the 7,000 troops in their hands.
He hesitated for a long time before staring at the chief of staff and asked, "I know all this...... Chief of Staff, you say, is there a solution! ”
"There's one!" The chief of staff gritted his teeth and replied.
Although this plan was vetoed by the division commander this morning, in the eyes of the chief of staff, those heavy equipment and thousands of veteran elites are not comparable at all.
Those heavy equipment can be replenished if they are lost, but it is really impossible to find a way to snatch them back from the Eighth Route Army~ However, the veterans are completely gone.
They are not like recruits, they are all well-trained, experienced in combat, and very strong in combat.
When it comes to ordinary troops and local garrison troops, it is easy to be a captain or even a squad leader.
Lieutenant General Ito saw the chief of staff's thoughts at a glance, and then asked rhetorically with a frown: "You still plan to persuade me to give up all heavy weapons and retreat with only the infantry to break through and retreat!" ”
"Hey!" The chief of staff no longer hesitated and answered very directly.
"Compared to those heavy equipment, veterans are definitely more important to our division. The losses of the troops are already large enough, if more than 4,000 veterans are killed or wounded, even if the front army replenishes us with a sufficient number of recruits, it will take at least half a year for the division to restore the combat effectiveness of its heyday! ”
"The equipment is different, and the superiors can replenish it at any time after losing it. In the case that there is really no replenishment, when the troops are back to combat effectiveness, we can still take back those heavy weapons from the Eighth Route Army. ”
Lieutenant General Ito did not speak with a calm face, but fell into deep thought.
It took a full five minutes before he decided with a serious face: "Then give up all heavy weapons and retreat with only the infantry to break through and retreat." In this case, no matter how badly the Eighth Route Army destroys the road, it will not be able to stop us from breaking through! ”
"Order all officers above the rank of captain to come here for a meeting, we will set off overnight!"
When the devils were meeting, the third round of the attack of the new regiment began.
What Zhong Chenggong didn't expect was that the devil, who had always been cautious at night, actually fought back.
Because the retreat of the first company of the guard battalion was not timely, it was directly blocked by the devil's roundabout armored vehicles, and then it was completely annihilated.
"Something is wrong, Chief of Staff, the devils are not fighting back, they are going to run away!" Yan Song, the third battalion commander who was guarding next to Zhong Chenggong, frowned and reminded.
"I can see it too!" Zhong Chenggong's brow also furrowed.
"It's just that I can't figure it out, the road in front of me has been destroyed, and the little devils are running away now, how can they get out of here!"
Soon, the mystery was solved.
Nearly seven thousand devils, who had nothing but rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, ammunition that could be carried on their shoulders, poured out of the garrison like a flood that burst the embankment, and then began to march along the road in the direction of Linfen!
"Lao Yan...... The task given to us by the regimental headquarters is completed, and when the devils are gone, we can kill them and pick up the heavy equipment left by the devils! Zhong Chenggong's nerves, which were still tense just now, instantly relaxed, and he said happily.
"It's really effortless, I didn't expect the little devil to give us this hand!"
"It's not that simple!" Yan Song was not as happy as he imagined.
"On the battlefield, even if the devils retreat or are completely annihilated, they will destroy their weapons and ammunition before they die, so that we will not be able to replenish our supplies...... In the barracks in front of you, there are more than 30 mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry guns of various calibers, all of which can form an artillery regiment. With so much heavy equipment, it is absolutely impossible for the devil to give us away in vain! ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as Yan Song's words were finished, a series of violent explosions sounded in the devil's camp.
The huge fireball that rose into the sky rose directly into the sky more than ten meters high, and the surrounding area of nearly 100 meters was illuminated.
The good mood on Zhong Chenggong's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good~ The devils are going to destroy the heavy weapons and weapons and ammunition that they can't take away!" ”
Then he ordered: "Immediately contact all the troops that can be contacted, and from now on, launch an all-out attack on the devil's station, kill me, and snatch back the supplies and heavy weapons that the devil is going to blow up!" ”
"Since the devils decided to abandon their heavy weapons and retreat overnight, it means that they don't want to lose too many troops on the way to retreat, and they can't afford to lose. In that case, there must not be many troops left behind by them! ”
"Why didn't I react sooner, and I was delayed for a few minutes!"
After speaking, Zhong Chenggong showed a regretful expression on his face.
He threw the binoculars to the side, drew the pistol hanging from his waist and rushed out of the headquarters, commanding as he went.
"Everyone in the command followed me, went into the devil's station, and grabbed ammunition and equipment...... A second earlier in the kill might have captured several more boxes of bullets and shells! ”
"Comrades, all rush ...... me"
Soon, a loud trumpet sounded around the devil's station.
Everyone who launched the attack knew that the devils had fled, and the remaining devils were blowing up weapons and ammunition. As soon as you rush in, there will be countless ammunition and equipment waiting to be captured.
Therefore, each company put on a deadly posture when attacking.
