Chapter 96 Dare to act!
Colonel Kurai said angrily: "Immediately send an order to order the troops to shrink their defense lines and stick to them on the spot. I want to see how capable these hateful territorial eighth Route Army have."
"Hayi!"
A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully, turned around and sent the order.
In the end, Colonel Kurai decided to stick to it instead of breaking through.
Because after a long battle, they are now a tired army. If they break through now, they might be easily defeated by the Eighth Route Army.
Another point is that Colonel Kurai does not believe that these Eighth Route Army have the strength to destroy them.
After all, in the previous battle, the Eighth Route Army had not taken the initiative to siege so many Japanese devils, so Colonel Kurai still had enough confidence.
However, it was obvious that he guessed wrong this time.
Under the command of Brigade Commander Chen, various troops gradually advanced forward, and the Japanese's peripheral positions were successively captured by the Eighth Route Army.
In the end, more than two thousand Japanese devils were all trapped in a narrow area.
In the command center, Brigade Commander Chen was very excited and said with a smile: "I finally blocked all these Japanese devils."
The chief of staff next to him said: "But it is still a bit difficult to wipe out this Japanese devils."
"According to the current situation, they still have more than 2,000 people, and these two thousand Japanese devils are all combat troops, so it is not that easy to deal with."
Brigade Commander Chen smiled and said, "If it were before, it would be really not easy for us to kill them."
"It can even be said that it is impossible, but now we have enough chance to eliminate all the Japanese devils."
"First of all, after a series of battles, they are already a tired army, and their combat effectiveness has dropped seriously, which creates the first opportunity for us."
"Second, Li Yunlong sneaked into the Japanese's nest and brought all their supplies, including weapons and ammunition."
"The Japanese don't carry too much weapons and ammunition, and after the fierce battle during the day, the loss of these ammunition is also quite serious. How long can the ammunition they have left now?"
"Hehe~! I'm afraid it won't last long."
"With these two favorable conditions, we will have the opportunity to completely wipe them out."
Chief Zhou thought about it and it seemed that the same was true, so he nodded and said, "After that being said, we have not encircled and annihilated so many Japanese devils after all, so we should be careful."
Brigade Commander Chen said with a serious look: "We have one night tonight. If the Japanese are too strong, we can't eat them, so it's not too late to change their strategy."
"Of course, it's the best to be able to eat them."
"Because as long as we eat this little Japanese, we will completely break the Japanese's three-way siege, which will greatly shock the Japanese. I guess the Japanese will not dare to act rashly by then, and can only withdraw their troops obediently."
"So this battle is of great importance, and we must do our best to win."
Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "I understand."
Brigade Commander Chen stared at the map and said with a serious expression: "Arranging all the artillery soldiers of each unit to the front line. This time, there is no need to save shells for me, and take out all my family's assets."
"Try your best to launch an attack, and be sure to kill this Japanese devil in the shortest time."
"yes!"
Chief of Staff Zhou responded quickly and turned to convey the order.
At around 8 o'clock that night, the rumbling sound of cannons kicked off the counterattack.
The Eighth Route Army units concentrated all artillery fire and began to bombard the enemy's positions.
The Independent Regiment also arranged all the artillery on Qingsong Ridge, aiming at the enemy's positions and bombarded them indiscriminately.
"Boom~!Boom~!"
Hearing the constant explosions coming from outside, Colonel Kurai was so angry that he cursed: "Baga Yalu, these hateful local Eighth Route Army have really taken the courage of Xiongxin and Leopard. It's really outrageous that they really dare to attack the Imperial Army."
"This time I want them to see the power of our imperial army. I will immediately send orders to concentrate artillery fire and counterattack me. In any case, I must block their attack."
"Your Excellency Colonel!"
A Japanese officer next to him said with a sad face: "Christian Colonel, we don't have many shells."
"Nani?"
Colonel Kurai couldn't help but change his face.
The Japanese officer quickly explained: "Most of our shells are stored in the baggage camp, but the enemy occupied it in the camp, so..."
Hearing this, Colonel Kurai suddenly realized that their old camp had been occupied by the independent regiment.
During the day, in order to take down Qingsongling, they also wasted a lot of shells.
I guess there are really not many shells left now.
Colonel Kurai's face became even more ugly when he thought of this, because he suddenly remembered that not only was there insufficient shells, but their other ammunition would be less and less.
Colonel Kurai pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Strictly order all troops to hold their positions. In any case, they must block the enemy's attack and take the opportunity to consume the enemy's vitality."
"As long as we persist until dawn, we can get supplies through airdrops."
"Hayi!"
A Japanese officer responded respectfully and turned to convey the order.
Colonel Kurai continued: "Send a telegram to the commander immediately and ask the commander to send planes to drop supplies for us."
"Create a list of required ammunition supplies immediately and send them to the headquarters."
"Hayi!"
A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully and hurriedly ran to draft a telegram.
Colonel Kurai stared at the map in front of him, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this time, the old Japanese finally realized the danger.
Colonel Kurai's telegram for help was sent to Taiyuan as quickly as possible, the 1st Japanese Agents Army Command.
After reading the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that he cursed: "Haga Yalu, what did these bastards do?"
A Japanese officer next to him said: "Chief Commander calms down. This time the Eighth Route Army is bold and actually tries to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade."
"Now the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade has more than 5,000 people, more than half of them are lost, and only more than 2,000 people are left."
"And all the ammunition and drug supplies were seized by the enemy, making the situation even more dangerous."
Yoshio Shinozuka cursed: "Guari is also a total idiot. The Eighth Route Army is going to surround them, but they didn't notice it in advance. When they were surrounded, they realized the danger. What had they done long ago?"
