"Bagya Road..."
The commander of the wing became more and more anxious as he thought about it. He couldn't help but uttered a few curse words. Like an angry lion, he stared at the chief of staff who was rushing over and asked loudly.
"It's been almost ten minutes since the Eighth Route Army attacked."
"Why haven't the 1st and 2nd Brigades come back yet..."
"Some of their squadrons are right next to the base, and they can return to the battlefield in a few minutes. Why don't I even see the shadow of a returning reinforcement force?"
The chief of staff was also annoyed.
According to the scheduled battle plan.
After the garrison is attacked, the two infantry brigades sent out during the day will return to the garrison in squadron units one after another and launch attacks from the back of the Eighth Route Army to reduce the defensive pressure on the garrison.
After there are enough returning reinforcements, we can surround the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops from the outside, attack them from both inside and outside, and eliminate them here.
If the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops are too strong, they cannot be defeated by themselves.
The returning troops gave up the encirclement and continued to attack the Eighth Route Army from behind, harassing them until the two most recent infantry regiments arrived on the battlefield for a decisive battle.
The entire combat plan is foolproof.
As a result, the real battle went off the rails as soon as it started.
The return troops to relieve the pressure on the garrison were also missing.
Looking at the captain, he said anxiously: "I don't know even if I am in a humble position..."
"I will send someone to rush them now..."
"You can't come back after ten minutes from a distance of several hundred meters. It's too much. It's like treating the military orders of the wing headquarters as child's play."
"Da da da……"
As a result, the chief of staff had not yet moved, and the sound of fierce firefights happened to come from the flank of the battlefield.
That's the direction where the returning reinforcements are.
The commander of the regiment and the chief of staff looked happy. They thought that the reinforcements had begun to attack from the back of the Eighth Route Army, so they quickly raised their binoculars to look where they were.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The captain's already pale face suddenly turned even paler than before.
The chief of staff's lips trembled and he was a little awkward when speaking.
After holding it in for several seconds, he reported in a trembling voice: "Captain..."
"The Eighth Route Army also deployed chariot troops on our left wing... and cavalry..."
"The left wing's return to support our first infantry squadron is over..."
"Dong dong dong..."
Six tanks and armored vehicles lined up in two tank platoons, firing back towards the Japanese reinforcements.
The returning troops were only equipped with rifles and machine guns. They were suddenly attacked by tanks and could only be beaten passively.
Only after losing nearly a team did he react from the shock, and immediately turned around and retreated, trying to escape from the effective range of the vehicle-mounted machine gun.
But the two tank platoons obviously didn't want to let them go easily, and chased after them and opened fire.
The squadron leader led by the Japs has rich combat experience and knows that no matter how many soldiers under his command he continues to escape, they will all be killed by tanks.
Thinking that there were only six tanks of the Eighth Route Army chasing him, he immediately ordered the troops to divide their forces and retreat.
Although in this case, some soldiers will be chased and beaten by chariots until the entire army is destroyed.
But the troops who were not chased by the tanks could survive and continue to reinforce the garrison.
But he seriously underestimated the Eighth Route Army's determination to eliminate them.
When the troops were first divided, the Eighth Route Army had limited tanks to pursue them, and many people did escape the tanks.
Even he himself survived and felt that he had successfully escaped from the Eighth Route Army tank troops.
Before I could be happy, the familiar sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded not far away, and the sound became louder and louder.
Although it was night, the artillery fire on the battlefield was too fierce. With the firelight they exploded, the squadron leader could faintly see dozens of cavalry coming towards him.
His whole body was once again covered in despair, he threw up his legs and ran towards the station.
He had no heavy weapons in his hands, and no position under his feet to defend. Facing the fast-moving cavalry, he could only wait to die if he stopped here.
It's not far from the station.
If he could escape the cavalry pursuit and return to his base, he could still save his life.
After some calculation in my mind, I decided to save my life first.
Only if you save your life can you talk about other things. If your life is gone, then there is really nothing.
…………
The Japanese captain and chief of staff happened to see the Eighth Route Army cavalry working with tanks to chase the returning troops.
Watching the soldiers under my command being repeatedly shot to death by vehicle-mounted machine guns on the way to escape, or being chopped down with sabers by the cavalry chasing behind them, the pain in my heart cannot be described in words.
His right hand was clenched into a fist, his nails almost digging into his flesh, and he was shaking constantly.
"Captain..." The chief of staff couldn't bear to watch being massacred by the Eighth Route Army. He reluctantly put down his telescope and looked at the commander with an anxious look on his face.
"This must be a premeditated raid by the Eighth Route Army..."
"Not only do they want to capture our base, they also want to eat our returning troops together..."
"We must find a way to break the situation immediately, otherwise no matter how many troops we have, we won't be enough for the Eighth Route Army to massacre..."
"Break the situation?" The captain put down the telescope and asked with a cold snort.
"The tank squadron suffered a fatal blow and the mountain artillery brigade was wiped out. What can we do to break the situation?"
"Is it possible to let the soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight against the steel torrent of the Eighth Route Army?"
"We lost this battle..."
"Contact the 1st and 2nd brigades immediately..."
"Continuing to use squadrons as units to reinforce the battlefield is the same as refueling tactics. We must not give away any more lives to the Eighth Route Army."
"Let them immediately suspend their previous return plan."
"After all the troops are assembled, they will return to the battlefield in large groups to support them."
"Contact His Excellency the Commander immediately."
"We were besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong, and they only used a large number of tanks and heavy artillery."
"Ask them to contact surrounding troops immediately and march urgently to reinforce us."
The chief of staff continued to ask: "What should we do?"
"The Eighth Route Army has tanks to support them. We don't even have a decent anti-tank gun, only some mortars. If we fight hard, we probably won't be able to hold on for half an hour."
The captain looked back at the Eighth Route Army that had already entered the station, and analyzed it with a stern face.
"The Eighth Route Army not only has tanks to assist, but also dozens of mountain field guns that can provide artillery support to an attacking unit at any time."
"Don't talk for half an hour if we fight head-on. We won't even be able to hold on for twenty minutes."
"Not only can't we wait for the other surrounding main regiments, we can't even wait for our own two infantry brigades."
"Not good..." the chief of staff said anxiously.
"The Eighth Route Army has already reached the artillery position... and if we don't think of a way, the entire station will be destroyed."
The commander's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He thought for half a minute before giving the order: "Notify all troops in the station."
"Never gather together to fight against the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops."
"We fight in squadrons and squads. After being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, we stop them at all costs. The troops that are not attacked can go back to the flank of the Eighth Route Army to launch attacks and slow down their assault speed."
"This is a common method used by the Eighth Route Army to deal with us in New Year. Today I will retaliate in kind."
