445
At the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie is preparing to defend the third line of defense.
Communications platoon leader Zhang Xuelin suddenly ran towards him: "Regiment commander...Deputy Chief of Staff Huang sent an urgent message...The assault battalion has an important military operation. Please cooperate with the main force of the regiment to expand the results..."
"Are you sure it's Xiao Huang's telegram?" Kong Jie grabbed the telegram, feeling both excited and nervous.
He had been waiting for this telegram for several days, and finally it arrived.
Just halfway through, my face lit up with joy. As I read the rest of the content, I sighed: "He is still as courageous as ever..."
"The Japs heavy artillery brigade, the two Japs from two regiments, the little Japs from an infantry brigade... so many enemies, you want to eat them all in one bite... It's not easy!"
Li Wensheng also read the telegram nearby. Before Kong Jie could finish speaking, he reminded him with a worried look on his face: "Captain, I think Deputy Chief of Staff Huang has too much appetite!"
"As the saying goes, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite...You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...I suggest that the assault battalion should eliminate the enemy one bite at a time and not be greedy for credit."
“If you eat too much and get stuffed to death, then it’s a bit too much!”
Kong Jie was noncommittal: "Xiao Huang's appetite is indeed a bit big!"
"If I were asked to command this battle, I would definitely not dare to eat so many Japanese and puppet troops in one go!"
"But I believe Xiao Huang!"
"In addition to the assault battalion, he also has a special operations team directly under the regiment headquarters, and a large number of flying thunder cannons..."
"If you are not sure, you will definitely not bring it up, let alone ask the main force of the group to cooperate with him in the form of a telegram!"
"Don't doubt the people you doubt, don't doubt the people you employ..."
"Chief of Staff, contact the heavy artillery battalion immediately..."
"The assault battalion will attack the Japanese heavy artillery brigade in due course in the next battle..."
"Require the heavy artillery battalion to launch attacks on the Japanese mountain field artillery positions, infantry artillery positions, and tank troops at the same time. The harder the artillery fire, the better!"
"Try to seize this opportunity to completely eliminate the artillery unit in Sato's hands!"
"Considering that there is always an aircraft patrolling over the battlefield, the heavy artillery battalion will be attacked by air once it is exposed!"
"Require Chen Daliang to prepare for air defense in advance and plan the retreat route in advance..."
"If an artillery position is targeted by aircraft and bombed..."
"I would rather lose the artillery than keep the gunner!"
"If the artillery is lost, we can still capture it from the Japanese..."
"If the gunners are gone, they will be gone... The retraining cycle is too long, we can't afford to wait!"
When Li Wensheng picked up the phone and gave an order to the heavy artillery battalion, Kong Jie's order did not stop: "The main second, third, eighth and ninth battalions, all be ready for counterattack!"
"We will try to launch a counterattack when the Japanese launch their next attack!"
"My appetite is not as big as Xiao Huang's, but no matter what, the Japanese and puppet attacking troops will eat it!"
"If the counterattack force still has the ability to attack, I will not stop them if they continue to attack and fight their way into the Japanese offensive position!"
"Let each battalion take out all their belongings, and under the cover of artillery fire, kill as many Japanese and puppet troops as possible at the minimum cost, completely defeat the Sato division, and make them lose the ability to continue attacking us!" …
The Japanese army attacked the position, and Lieutenant General Sato was commanding the troops to launch a new round of attack.
After being baptized by incendiary bombs, the blocking position has turned into a scorched earth.
Eight tanks and four armored vehicles were parked in the offensive position, ready to go.
For more than 600 days, the puppet troops were divided into twelve groups and followed closely behind the tanks...
"Start attacking..."
Zuo Tōchu looked forward to the order, hoping that this attack would avenge the past and seize the blocking position.
"Boom boom boom..."
Artillery was the first to join the battle…
Howitzers, field artillery, mountain artillery, infantry artillery... roared and fired artillery shells at the blocking position, killing and injuring all the Eighth Route Army troops who got out of the artillery holes.
"Rumble..."
Twelve tanks roared out of the offensive position, followed closely by the Japanese and puppet troops, determined to die and charged towards the blocking position. When Lieutenant General Zuo Teng was looking at it, a messenger rushed towards him in a hurry, with cold sweat on his forehead. Before he could stand still, he hurriedly reported: "Division Commander..."
"The baggage troops were attacked by unknown enemies..."
Lieutenant General Sato was focused on the battlefield and did not take this matter too seriously. He said with a nonchalant expression: "It must have been done by the guerrillas and local troops under the Independence Regiment!"
"Their main force cannot withstand our frontal attack, so they want to sneak attack our baggage troops, force us to divide our troops, and reduce the pressure on the main force's frontal defense..."
"This style of play is too old-fashioned. I have seen it before on other battlefields, and I took precautions in advance!"
"Order the puppet army and the imperial army who protect the baggage and ammunition to resolutely repel the enemy's attack and protect the safety of the baggage!"
After saying that, I turned my attention back to the frontal battlefield...
As a result, the messenger who came to report did not move at all, as if he did not hear the order just now and continued to report.
"The enemy attacking the baggage troops is definitely not the guerrillas and local troops...please ask the division commander for a clear warning...boom..."
When the messenger was about to continue speaking, a series of earth-shaking explosions came from the baggage train station.
The battlefield is nearly four kilometers away from here, and the sound of explosions is still like thunder, deafening. Even a fool knows that these explosions are unusual.
Lieutenant General Zuotou finally became a little anxious. He looked at the messenger again and asked anxiously: "How many people do they have, how are their equipment, what heavy weapons do they have... What happened to the explosion just now?"
The messenger hurriedly reported: "I don't know how many troops there are, but they are very skilled and equipped with very good equipment. They are also equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenades!"
"With this attack, we will wipe out all the security posts we have placed on the outside. We won't even have a chance to shoot back!"
"The explosion just now must have been caused by the thunder cannon!"
"They advanced the offensive position to more than a hundred meters in front of the formation. They used thunder cannons to launch explosive packets to attack us at close range!"
Before Lieutenant General Zuo Teng could react to the shock this bad news brought him, another messenger came running toward him on a fast horse: "Report to the division commander...the heavy artillery brigade was attacked by the main force of the main force!"
"The opponent is equipped with a large number of mortars and grenade launchers. Just take out the four heavy machine guns we have set up around the artillery position!"
"The escort force suffered heavy casualties and will soon be unable to withstand it..."
"The main force again?"
Lieutenant General Sato asked back with a look of disbelief, and then another question popped up in his mind: "Who can tell me how many troops the Independent Regiment has hidden behind the troops? They have so many main troops there!"
"The frontal battlefield is almost unable to stop us, but they still have the remaining strength to divide their troops and go around to our sides and rear to attack the heavy artillery brigade and baggage troops. Aren't they afraid of losing sight of one thing?"
