"Xiangcheng Xianji is unwilling to give in." Gao Jianwu found after wandering on the front line that the Japs were retreating and fighting at the same time, and were in no rush to break away from the battle.
Instead, he dragged the entire battlefield southward!
The fierce battle lasted for most of the day, from day to night, without the artillery fire support commanded by Gao Jianwu. In the current pursuit battle, the two sides gradually returned to their original form of individual duel.
The Ping An Cluster, whose firepower configuration was slightly better than that of the Little Devils, was basically evenly matched against the 26th Division in field battles.
However, the main force of Jinsui District, which has worse firepower configuration, is slightly inferior.
After all, the proportions of elite veterans on both sides are different. Although the Ping An Cluster has recruited some puppet troops to expand, these people originally came from fighting with the wind, and their skills and tactics are still much worse than those of the well-trained little Japs.
No matter how much Gao Jianwu and Shen Quan attach importance to daily training, they will not be able to get enough training in that time, and they will not have to go to the battlefield to fight with the little Japanese.
In the previous battles, Gao Jianwu's artillery fire was cheated, so it didn't feel too strenuous to fight.
Until today's battle, Gao Jianwu has not been able to provide any artillery support at any time. Tianyihei's mortars have also misfired. Returning to individual weapon duels, the shortcomings of insufficient training have begun to be exposed.
Fortunately, the Ping An cluster is strong enough in terms of firepower. Facing the counterattack of the Japs is often the time to reap the rewards. Once they get close, the Japs will not be able to take advantage.
Therefore, the little devils who fought against the Ping An cluster had already learned to fight at a distance of about 200 meters.
As the distance between the two sides increased, casualties began to decrease. In comparison, the Ping An cluster still suffered a bit in this regard. It was just that it had the upper hand in terms of numbers, and overall it still had a slight advantage.
...
"Call nearby mortars to gather at the company level, follow me!" After Gao Jianwu realized that the 26th Division was not escaping, but deliberately trying to pull the strings, he stopped being polite and began to gather mortars to release more mortars for the 26th Division. Blood.
Night shelling is a nightmare for other artillery observers, but for Gao Jianwu, it is not that difficult.
As long as the current terrain matches the three-dimensional map in his mind and the origin is confirmed, Gao Jianwu can guide the mortar to blindly fire according to the coordinates!
Although the field of view is reduced at night, based on the flames ejected from the muzzle of the gun, it is only possible to see a distance of five to six hundred meters.
This is Gao Jianwu's most comfortable position. The enemy poses little threat. Rifles and light machine guns can basically be hit by casual marksmanship. But for Gao Jianwu, who was lying on the bunker and observing, the probability of this was almost zero.
】
Gao Jianwu was often at the forefront, and he was not foolhardy. Now that he had a heavy responsibility, how could he belittle himself?
He just wants to win the greatest victory in this war at the smallest cost.
With the commando bodyguards, Gao Jianwu walked along the front line of the mortar attack range, using extremely efficient efficiency to clear out the little Japanese who resisted. The results of one squad after another gradually converged into the results of a squadron. Gao Jianwu was not in a hurry at all and directed the mortars to clear the target areas.
Listening to the rhythmic sound of mortar explosions in the distance.
Kenji Kojo and Ikki Gumon are numb.
This cliff is where the night-killing god from Wucheng comes to Yanmen!
what to do? What should we do now?
Kenji Xiangcheng suddenly felt that his plan was a bit overestimating. According to the other party's elimination method, it was completely unstoppable!
"Disperse! Spread the team widely!" Ikki said through gritted teeth, looking at the battle situation in the distance.
The plan has been reported, and they will grit their teeth and hold off their opponents no matter what.
With the advantage of the opponent's artillery attack, the only thing Ikki could think of was to spread out the team to consume the opponent's artillery shells.
At the same time, it also greatly reduces its own casualties.
Kenji Xiangcheng nodded and passed the order to the remaining brigades through the radio, and then gradually distributed it to the squadrons and squadrons.
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders. The troops below naturally dispersed after suffering losses. However, the battlefield tonight was huge, and some places had not yet encountered the great killer Gao Jianwu.
Gao Jianwu gradually became aware of the Japs' actions. Although it was easy for the shells to explode at night and become worthless, the cost-effectiveness of killing two or three Japs with one shot was simply too low.
Since the 26th Division had no intention of resolutely escaping, Gao Jianwu was not in a hurry.
After the little devils dispersed, the infantry duel on their side gained the upper hand. As the offensive side, the troops are now basically fighting at the platoon level. Now there is a safe cluster with machine guns and grenade launchers or 60 mortars in place. Completely in control of the situation.
Even for the Jinsui District troops who only have machine guns, the situation has now entered a rhythm they are familiar with. It is completely different from the strenuous struggle during the day.
If the fight continued like this, it was obvious that Kenji Kojo, who was suffering a loss, couldn't hold on any longer. After more than 2 hours of fierce fighting, he lost nearly a brigade.
"Gumon-kun, this won't work, we can't hold on anymore." Xiangcheng Kenji gritted his teeth when he saw the battle damage.
"Retreat, let's return to Dai City, leaving a few scouts to follow the Eighth Route Army." Gumen Yihui also lost confidence. If he couldn't hold on for a day and failed to lure the enemy and was annihilated, wouldn't it be a joke?
Let's give it a try again.
In terms of the wording of the report, I suggest that the report be more serious. For example, after a fierce battle for a whole day, our 26th Division encountered more than 10 regiments of the Eighth Route Army's main force. Among them, the artillery regiment was completely attacked by the Eighth Route Army's main artillery force. According to the on-site battle situation, it is speculated that the division The attack method of Tubal Road artillery is highly similar to that seen near Wucheng. It is speculated that it should be the same part of Tubal Road artillery. After a bloody battle, our 26th Division annihilated and severely damaged no less than five main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and suffered nearly two brigades of casualties.
At present, the number of places facing our army is still increasing. Suspected enemies of Wucheng are constantly rushing to Yanmen, requesting that the 41st Division be dispatched north as soon as possible to wipe out the main force of Tubal Road.
From now on, we need to gradually increase the number of battle losses and slowly make up for the losses, so that when reinforcements arrive, the flaws will not be exposed. "
Gumon Ikki is obviously an expert in deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. In today's battle situation, except for them, who are in the middle of the situation and grasp the information, no one knows the real situation in a short period of time.
The loss of an artillery regiment and the 2nd Infantry Battalion was already considered a serious injury, and it was enough to impress the senior officials.
Coupled with the fact that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been bitten, Gumen Yihui's powerful medicine will basically make it impossible for the North China Expedition Army headquarters to sit still.
"Order the cavalry regiment to attack and assist the various ministries to retreat to Dai City." After hearing this, Kenji Xiangcheng weighed it up, "Junmen Gumen, I'll leave the report to you. I'll go sit in the cavalry regiment and block the news from being exposed. "
The 26th Division has been disabled, but now Kenji Kojo doesn’t dare let anyone know the truth because he can’t handle it!
The number of Japs left is not small now. The baggage regiment and engineer regiment have basically retreated with little loss. Once the infantry brigade returns, Kenji Kojo will integrate them into the infantry regiment as soon as possible. Cover your eyes and ears.
Although the captain of the Cavalry Regiment is also a confidant promoted by Kenji Kojo, the matter is so important that Kenji Kojo has to handle it personally no matter how tired he is.
...
"Detachment leader, it seems that all the kidnappers have escaped." Song Tiecheng, who was following Gao Jianwu, couldn't see a single kiddo for a long time, so he whispered to Gao Jianwu.
Gao Jianwu carefully locked the front of the telescope and observed for a while. There was no more gunshots, and there was no shadow of the little Japs moving around.
"Send a few brothers over to take a look, be careful!" Gao Jianwu turned to Song Tiecheng and said.
"Okay, I'll take someone to take a look." Song Tiecheng responded, and after saying that, he led a group and walked over.
Watching Song Tiecheng disappear into the darkness, Gao Jianwu lay on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
After fighting fiercely for most of the day, Gao Jianwu was exhausted.
Song Tiecheng came back in more than ten minutes and said, "Detachment leader, we've seen it all. All the little devils are gone. It seems they have indeed escaped."
Seeing that the Japs really retreated, Gao Jianwu breathed a sigh of relief. The Japs had to keep biting. Although the troops had the upper hand, the consumption was huge and it was already too much to bear.
Gao Jianwu called the communications soldier, took out his walkie-talkie, adjusted it to all channels, and began to speak directly.
"I am Dong Liang. I am Dong Liang. I order all ministries to immediately send people to conduct reconnaissance to confirm the enemy in front of you. If the enemy is confirmed to have retreated, immediately complete the assembly and seize the time to clean the battlefield. If you receive it, please reply! Repeat, if you receive it, please reply!"
"Yao Yao Dong Yao received!"
"Yaoyaodong two received!"
...
Over the walkie-talkie, replies from various ministries gradually came.
Taking advantage of this time, Gao Jianwu and his men began to inspect various battlefields, exploding various ammunition and equipment in inconspicuous places next to the casualties of the Japs. Song Tiecheng and the others followed Gao Jianwu without feeling anything at all, thinking that Gao Jianwu wanted to see each battlefield in person. Seeing the staggering and mutilated little devil along the way, Song Tiecheng felt particularly relieved, as if his energy and energy had recovered after a tiring day.
By the time Gao Jianwu walked through the battlefield of five or six kilometers, the weapons and ammunition he left behind were enough to replenish the health of the entire army. At a place where a kid's truck overturned, Gao Jianwu threw out a truck full of flour!
Of course, there are more bullets and 90mm small steel cannons and small steel cannon shells, almost half of which are carried by normal little devils. Each regiment keeps discovering surprises in the process of cleaning the battlefield!
...
"Old Gao, this is the fucking battle, it was so enjoyable!" Li Yunlong saw Gao Jianwu return to his temporary front finger and grinned under the dim candle. Although his eyes were bloodshot, he was still in high spirits. .
"Comrade Liaison Officer, this time the brothers in Jinsui will suffer!" Gao Jianwu ignored Lao Li, but walked to the Chief of Staff of the Liaison Officer and said with some seriousness.
"Gao Detachment, what are you talking about! Why are we still divided among our families?" Liaison Officer Chief of Staff Yang pretended to be angry, but soon showed a smile, "We won't lose in this battle! The 26th Division was crippled , the plan mentioned by the Gao detachment is basically half successful. The rest is to bite the bullet and continue to work hard to eat the 26th Division."
"In addition, there is good news. Our commander has ordered three regiments to march forward with light equipment. We will win this battle!"
