"Warriors, charge!"
Although batch after batch of soldiers fell, Tojo Ichiro felt extremely painful.
But, he couldn't stop.
If you can't succeed in one blow, once the army is surrounded, it will be completely bad.
Therefore, Tojo Ichiro could only endure the pain and send the soldiers up one after another.
After all, the soldiers' constant charge paid off.
That is, the temperature of the weapons on the enemy's forward positions increases due to continuous firing, and the firepower density decreases.
Like a conventional light machine gun, the barrel needs to be replaced frequently.
If the temperature of the artillery barrel is too high, it must stop firing to cool down to prevent the barrel from exploding, etc.
Therefore, taking advantage of the enemy's reduced firepower density, continuing to charge, and constantly closing the distance to the enemy's forward positions, there is hope for a breakthrough.
As long as they get close, the Emperor's soldiers can take advantage of melee combat.
However, this reduction in firepower density is only relative.
Heavy machine guns with superior performance are different and can shoot continuously.
Braving the heavy machine gun fire, most of the soldiers fell under the muzzle of the heavy machine gun.
Such heavy casualties would be a heavy blow to morale.
The Japanese soldiers were okay, they were brainwashed with the Bushido spirit, and they were still charging without fear of death.
But the Imperial Association Army was different. In the past, many of them defected to the Japanese just to survive.
Now being forced to die is contrary to their original intention.
Despite the threat from Ichiro Tojo, and despite the fact that their family members were still in the hands of the Japanese, the ants were still able to survive, let alone the humans.
In this case, a lot of indolence began to appear.
Either they followed the charging Imperial Army soldiers and deliberately slowed down their pace, or they hid in the corpses and pretended to be dead, or even some people simply retreated, etc.
But everything was in vain, Tojo Ichiro released the supervising team.
The gunshots of the supervising team kept ringing out, and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were passive and sabotaging their work were constantly shot and killed.
Speaking of which, it is also ridiculous.
There was obviously not much ammunition left, but the Japanese team still had ammunition to kill their own people.
"Damn it, you've been working for the Japanese for eight lifetimes."
"Even if we want to rebel now, it's impossible. We have no ammunition."
"You stupid little devil, you really don't treat us as human beings."
…
Resentment spread rapidly among the ranks of the Imperial Alliance Army.
"Commander Hiroshi, Ichiro Tojo is desperate." Through the telescope, looking at the scene of Japanese soldiers constantly rushing to die on the front line, a staff officer smiled at Hiroshi.
"If Tojo Ichiro doesn't use this energy to break through, it will be impossible for him to break through later." Hiruzakuyi looked calm. Tojo Ichiro had no choice at all.
"Commander Bo, up to now, the Japanese planes have not appeared. Do the Japanese military headquarters really want to abandon Tojo Ichiro's army?" the staff member asked.
"I'm afraid it's hard to say until the end." Bo Zuoyi said. Although the 18th Army had anti-aircraft weapons, Bo Zuoyi could not be absolutely sure that the Japanese would not send planes until the end.
"Commander Bo, the weapons and ammunition in the forward position are depleted too fast and reinforcements are needed." Someone ran over and reported to Bo Zuoyi.
"I have already sent someone to deliver it." Bo Zuoyi said calmly. Not only did he send someone to deliver ammunition, he also had to replace the combat troops with new ones.
After all, the troops fought continuously and were very tired.
Facing Tojo Ichiro's attack, in order to maintain our own morale and combat effectiveness to the maximum extent, we must take advantage of wheel warfare as much as possible.
The troops take turns going up and resting.
"Commander Bo, I have a new idea." The staff officer observed the battlefield and found a scene where a large number of Imperial Army soldiers were shot and killed by the Japanese supervising team.
"Do you want to instigate rebellion against the Imperial Association Army before the battle?" Bo Zuoyi smiled directly.
"That's right, Commander Bo, the Imperial Alliance Army was forced to die and was inactive in various ways. Under such circumstances, if we are willing to give them a chance, a large number of people will definitely surrender." The staff officer said.
"There's no rush." Hiroshi waved his hand, "It won't be too late for us to wait until Tojo Ichiro is done with this."
Hirozakuyi certainly knew that as long as he could instigate rebellion against the Imperial Alliance Army, Tojo Ichiro's troops would soon fall into internal strife.
Once it's done, the battle may be over faster.
But now is not the time.
The Japanese war team is still shooting at the Imperial Army and is still intimidating them.
At this time, the Imperial Alliance Army had no chance.
Only when it gets dark will the Imperial Army have a chance.
At that time, even the Jinsui Army needed to instigate rebellion, and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army themselves would find opportunities to come over and surrender.
Moreover, Bo Zuoyi also has to be careful.
What to guard against?
That is to prevent the Japanese soldiers from sneaking into the crowd of surrendering Imperial Army soldiers. If the Japanese soldiers are not able to fight their way out, it will not be good.
…
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, this is the information the intelligence officer got back from the Jinsui Army." The chief of general staff handed the newly arrived telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief.
The deputy commander took it and took a look and said with a smile: "Tojo Ichiro doesn't have aircraft, artillery and tanks, how can he break through Hiroshi's defense line!"
"Yes, Tojo Ichiro cannot break through the powerful fortifications of the Jinsui Army without offensive weapons and ammunition. If he cannot tear open the defense line, it is impossible to escape." The chief of general staff nodded, "Of course, the premise is that the Japanese Don’t send artillery shells from the planes nearby.”
"Xiao Wu is waiting for the Japanese plane to arrive, but I guess Okamura Jining will not dare to send the plane to take risks." said the deputy commander.
"If the Japanese want to send a plane, the plane should send ammunition before the fight between Tojo Ichiro and Hirosaku. But it hasn't arrived yet. I guess the Japanese military headquarters is busy quarreling now." The Chief of General Staff also said Nodding.
"What's the situation now with the two Japanese divisions trapped in the mud?" the deputy commander asked.
"They are seizing the time to repair the bridge." said the Chief of General Staff. "Every time the Japs want to repair the bridge, they are bombed by the Jinsui Army. As long as the bridge cannot be repaired, the two Japanese divisions will be destroyed." Don't even think about coming here unless they take a detour. If you take a detour, it will take half a month, and Ichiro Tojo will be cold by then."
"Now Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army can no longer send troops, and Tojo Ichiro's army is also trapped. It is the fish and meat on Hirosaku Yoshi's chopping board. Now is the time for us to carry out the shotai line attack. ." The deputy commander said, "We have been preparing for so long, and finally the time is ripe."
"Yes, if we don't break the blockade as soon as possible, we will be trapped in the mountains and sooner or later we will be left with nothing." The chief of general staff nodded.
"However, if the two Japanese divisions trapped on the other side of the river cannot be dealt with, they may attack us when we launch an attack on the Zhengtai Line." The deputy commander said.
"Those are two Japanese divisions." said the Chief of General Staff. "If our army fights forcefully, it will definitely be severely damaged, and it will not be able to carry out any more breakthrough attacks."
"It seems that this has to happen again..." Before the deputy commander could finish his words, he saw Li Yunlong coming over.
"Li Yunlong, if you don't stay with Xiao Wu, why are you coming to the headquarters?" The deputy commander immediately became solemn.
The sample gun of AK47 has been sent to the rear area. The leaders of the rear area gave it a very high evaluation and asked Xiao Wu to be transferred there as soon as possible.
Although, Wu Ze is safe now, with two brigades around him to protect him.
But as the commander of the new brigade, Li Yunlong should always stay where he should be.
"Boss, don't be angry, Xiao Wu asked me to come." Li Yunlong explained.
"Xiao Wu asked you to come. What did he ask you to do?" The deputy commander's tone immediately softened.
"Hehe." Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "Xiao Wu said that now Tojo Ichiro's army is trapped, and Shinozuka Yoshio cannot send more troops. Now is the time to capture the Taiyuan Arsenal and Copper Smelting Plant. Opportunity."
"I don't agree with this matter." The deputy commander directly refused, "Although Tojo Ichiro's army is trapped, there are still two Japanese divisions there. At this time, if they attack the Taiyuan Arsenal and Copper Smelting Factory, even if they succeed, , those two Japanese divisions came to kill them, how could they bring the things back?"
Of course, the deputy commander-in-chief is greedy for the financial opportunities of Taiyuan Arsenal and Copper Smelting Factory.
But with two Japanese divisions here, we can't do this job now.
"Aren't they just two Japanese divisions? They will fall soon." Li Yunlong said lightly.
"Two Japanese divisions fell on their own?" When the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff heard this, they immediately smelled something. It was almost certain that this was what Wu Ze had done.
Being able to knock down two Japanese divisions at once, the chief of general staff and deputy commander looked at each other and almost blurted out: "Tell me what's going on."
Li Yunlong presented a document: "Xiao Wu has written everything in it. Let the two bosses take a look."
The chief of general staff and deputy commander-in-chief grabbed the document almost as if they were snatching it, and opened it to take a look.
In an instant, their eyes widened: "This, this, this... can you still do this?"
According to the description in the document, plague diseases will soon begin to spread among the ranks of the two Japanese divisions.
Plague has been the biggest taboo of military strategists and even countries since ancient times.
The plague will take away countless lives, and it is common for thousands of miles of bare land to be uninhabited.
As long as the plague spreads, let alone two Japanese divisions, even ten Japanese divisions will have to be abandoned.
Moreover, once these two Japanese divisions contract the plague, it will be a hot potato.
If Yoshio Shinozuka takes over, not only will the First Army's logistical pressure increase dramatically, but it will also be at risk of being infected by the plague.
Okamura Shining took over, and the North China Expeditionary Force faced the same situation as Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army.
If Yoshio Shinozuka dares not to accept him, and Jining Okamura does not dare to accept him, then the two Japanese regiments infected with the plague will have no choice but to fend for themselves in the wilderness!
As for whether they want to attack the Jinsui Army or the 18th Group Army, they will have no fighting capacity by then, so how can they attack!
No, since it was Xiao Wu's plan, it was absolutely impossible to allow the plague to spread, because it would hurt one's own people and harm the common people.
The chief of general staff and the deputy commander-in-chief quickly cast their eyes on the map. On the map, the two Japanese divisions were now in a very bad area.
That is they are basically surrounded by rivers.
As long as they are not given a chance to repair the bridge, they can't get out.
They had no chance to escape from the plague. If the Japanese army did not save them, they would have no choice but to fend for themselves.
The Chief of General Staff and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief both knew clearly that the two Japanese divisions were trapped here. This was definitely planned by Xiao Wu in advance.
After all, it was Xiao Wu who suggested that the headquarters send some guerrilla experts to help the Jinsui Army guerrilla.
Now it seems that Xiao Wu's real intention was not to help the Jinsui Army pester the two Japanese divisions, but to get this fatal blow in front of him.
"Boss, can you agree now that Kong Jie and I will attack the Taiyuan Arsenal and Copper Smelting Plant?" Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"In that case..." The attitude of the Chief of General Staff and Deputy Commander-in-Chief changed drastically.
The establishment of the Taiyuan arsenal and copper smelting plant is of great significance to our military's military industrial strength.
Not only can new guns be mass-produced, but we may also be able to develop more types of weapons.
More importantly, by then, as long as the machine is running at full strength, our army will no longer worry about the supply of ammunition.
Now that the threat of the two Japanese regiments will soon be lifted, if Lao Yan is not able to seize the money quickly, if Lao Yan reacts, Bo Zuoyi's main force will be free to eliminate Tojo Ichiro, and let Lao Yan pick the peaches If you leave, there will be no regrets in this world.
"Li Yunlong, what is Xiao Wu's plan for attacking the Taiyuan Arsenal and Copper Smelting Plant?" asked the deputy commander.
"I will take the New First Brigade to the Duan Arsenal, and Kong Jie's independent brigade will go to the copper smelting factory." Li Yunlong replied.
"You and Kong Jie's team have been taken away, so who will protect Xiao Wu's safety?" the chief of general staff said solemnly.
"Xiao Wu is safe now. Tojo Ichiro is trapped. The two Japanese divisions cannot pose a threat, and Shinozuka Yoshio cannot send more troops." Li Yunlong answered.
"Let's do this. Once Tojo Ichiro gives up, let Xiao Wu come to the headquarters." The chief of general staff said. Lao Zhou's mouth has been drained, and the spies who were lurking deeper have been dug out.
"Okay, okay." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "A person with great wisdom like Xiao Wu should have stayed at the headquarters a long time ago. Then I will go back and prepare."
"Li Yunlong." The deputy commander called him.
"What other instructions does the boss have?" Li Yunlong paused.
"The Taiyuan Arsenal and the Copper Smelting Factory are of great significance to our army. We must never go wrong in our work." the deputy commander-in-chief warned.
"Please rest assured, chief, I promise not to drop a screw." Li Yunlong was full of confidence. Although the defenses of the copper smelting factory and arsenal were tight, they were nothing.
Kong Erluzi and I went out to dig out the heavy artillery of the three Japanese divisions. By then, it would be a piece of cake to destroy whether it was the copper smelting plant or the defenses of the arsenal.
"Whether you and Kong Jie can take down the arsenal and copper smelting plant, the deputy commander-in-chief and I are not worried about that." The chief of general staff corrected, "If nothing goes wrong, the main problem lies in the Japanese heavy artillery of the three divisions that you, Li Yunlong, hid in the past. Although the Jinsui Army is still cooperating with us, the two sides are still arguing, you must correctly understand the meaning of the deputy commander-in-chief!"
"Don't worry, two chiefs. Xiao Wu has reminded me in advance of the reason for this. After the work is done, I will hide the heavy artillery again so that the Jinsui Army will not get the handle." Li Yunlong was very calm.
The heavy artillery is so heavy that it is difficult and inconvenient to carry it back and forth. Hiding things is our unique skill.
"Okay then, you and Kong Jie should seize the time to act and bring more transport manpower." The deputy commander nodded, "As for the details of your and Kong Jie's action plan, I won't ask. I think Wu Ze I must have planned it for you.”
"Hahaha, that's it, that's it, with Xiao Wu here, our work is never difficult, hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed, saluted and exited.
After Li Yunlong left, the chief of general staff and deputy commander-in-chief quickly began to convey orders to the troops below to prepare for the attack on the Zhengtai Line.
