Chapter 1153 begins action
Hu Bin received a telegram from Patton at night. Patton told Hu Bin about the daytime battle today. Large-scale battles were all very serious casualties a few days ago and after the battle, so Hu Bin could understand this casualties.
But Patton said that he hopes Hu Bin's troops can be dispatched as soon as possible.
"Do you want to go out? Will you go out tonight? We have not issued an order to go out before." A senior staff officer asked Hu Bin.
"If you don't go out, send a telegram to Xiang Feng. The Japanese troops may break through the defense line tomorrow during the day. At that time, his troops should pay attention to safety and concealment. If necessary, dispatch armored troops to attack Japanese troops. Do not move infantry troops!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
"Now Xiang Feng's troops are at the forefront, less than 20 kilometers away from the main position. If the Japanese troops break through early tomorrow, they may pose a threat to Xiang Feng's troops. Therefore, Hu Bin needs to explain.
"Yes!" a consultant responded.
"Send a telegram to Patton and tell him that this is not the time to counterattack, and I need to wait. Now my troops will only fight against the Japanese, which will not help the war. Therefore, my troops still need to wait. Please let General Patton hold on for another day or two!" Hu Bin said to another staff officer.
Another staff officer recorded the telegram and handed it over to Hu Bin. Hu Bin signed it and asked them to send it out.
After sending the telegram, Hu Bin walked out of the tent. It was still very cold at night. Hu Bin tightened his coat and looked at the sky. The sky was still dark and there were no stars at all. The meteorological army sent a telegram saying that it would cool down in the past two days and that it might snow.
The next day, it was still cloudy, but the cold air came over and the weather cooled down again, and it was already very cold during the day.
Japanese troops launched an attack on the US positions again. Today, Japan invested more troops in the entire US defense line, and the battle was very difficult.
There were many corpses on the US position, and no one cleaned them at all, because after the war, the American soldiers sat in the trenches without any thoughts.
Especially those recruits were frightened by the scene in front of them, or they were thinking.
The veterans gathered together and smoked. That afternoon, after the Japanese attacked, the veterans were still sitting together, the same place yesterday. There were seven or eight veterans sitting here yesterday, and today there were only 5 left here.
Moreover, the company commander who came to smoke yesterday was also sacrificed. Now their company has been incorporated into another company. The new company commander is still a second lieutenant. Originally, the lieutenant could be the company commander, but the two companies, the lieutenant and the captain were all killed, and there were only two second lieutenants left, one as the company commander and the other as the deputy company commander.
When the company commander was looking at his position, he saw the five veterans sitting there smoking. After thinking for a while, he walked over and sat down with them.
"Get!" A corporal handed it to the lieutenant with a lit cigarette.
"There is another wave!" a sergeant said.
The lieutenant nodded without saying anything, but took a breath of cigarette.
"Is there no news of retreat yet?" the sergeant asked.
"The regiment commander died, the regiment headquarters was blown up, heavy artillery! No one inside came out, and all three battalion commanders died in battle. Now it's our company commanders who support us. What news can be found?" The lieutenant raised his head and looked at the veterans and said.
"God, what's wrong with you?" a sergeant said in looking at the sky.
"There is a news, I don't know if it's true or false. I heard that Chinese troops will help us! I just don't know when or where to help!" the lieutenant said.
"Chinese? Oh, yes, those Chinese are really good. We had a Chinese before. I heard that going to investigate brought a lot of news to our army, but we were caught later. What's the name?" A sergeant said and asked the others.
"What do you know? There are so many people who die, who dares to remember?" said another veteran, and the other veterans nodded when they heard it.
They dare not remember, and they dare not even play with the recruits. If the recruits go to the battlefield like today, more than half of them will die in a day, and some will even die. They can integrate into the team of these veterans, at least they will only get to know each other if they can survive in a few battles.
Otherwise, it would be useless for them to meet the recruits, and there would be more sadness at that time. Therefore, they would never remember the names of the recruits, and they would not even know what their names were. Those who knew their names could only read them in the catalogue.
"Will the Chinese troops come to help? I heard that the Chinese troops are very powerful? Really?" a sergeant asked.
"Who knows, but I heard that when Japan invaded China and was attacked by China, it shouldn't be bad, right?" a sergeant said.
"Don't think so much. I don't know if I can see it alive!" Another sergeant said, and the others immediately fell into silence. They were smoking cigarettes and sat quietly.
After more than ten minutes, they heard the sound of shells breaking through the air and immediately got into the anti-aircraft hole. Listening to the banging explosion outside, after the explosion, they followed the orders from the above, came out of the anti-aircraft hole, lying on the trenches, and waiting for the Japanese infantry in the distance to come.
After more than two hours of fighting, there were less than 20 people left in their company, and those who were seriously injured were quite happy. They said they were a company, but in fact they didn't even have a platoon. The company commander who took office today died.
Now they are the sergeant, but the sergeant doesn't have to issue any orders at all. They are all veterans and no longer need to command.
If reinforcements have not come tomorrow, they can hold on to one round of attacks at most. The second round of attacks will be reimbursed. The veterans are sitting in the hole, smoking cigarettes, and looking at the helmet inside the hole, which is cooking their food tonight.
"Report, Brother Bin ordered our troops to start assaulting Pocatello. The Second Army immediately followed, the Third Armored Army and the First Infantry Army, as the Second Echelon, the Second Infantry Army, the Third Army, and the Fourth Army, as the Third Echelon, and set off immediately!" A staff officer took Hu Bin's telegram and arrived at Xiang Feng's tent and spoke.
"Order, our army, prepare immediately, and set off in 10 minutes!" Xiang Feng heard it and said to all the staff officers in the command center.
"Yes!" When the staff members heard this, they all stood up, then picked up the phone and started calling each division.
"It's going to be a fight!" Xiang Feng nodded. Xiang Feng knew where to fight. He had a meeting the night before yesterday, and the division commander below also knew that he had a meeting for those division commanders yesterday. Now he just needs to march according to the plan.
Ten minutes later, a rumbling sound came from the entire forest. The tanks, armored personnel carriers, and vehicles began to drive out of the forest and marched towards Pocatello along the main road and the plains.
The people living nearby saw so many headlights in the distance, and they all looked at them in a daze, and they didn't dare to lean over. When the troops were passing by a small town, the American people in the town came out to see them.
At first they thought it was the Japanese troops who came, but when they saw the paint on the tank, they all cheered and asked to say hello to the soldiers. Most of the soldiers couldn't understand it. Although the soldiers now understand some simple tactical English and also need to communicate easily, most of them still don't understand it.
However, the soldiers could know that the Americans welcomed these people and smiled.
"God, there are so many troops, it seems that our front line can be held!"
"God bless the United States!" Many Americans were very happy to see so many tanks.
And those who continued to march northward passed by a checkpoint of the American troops. They had already received a notice to send those troops over. In fact, there were no one to put them on. Trucks were walking on the road, and other tanks and armored personnel carriers were all marching on the plains. Now they had to speed and assault Pocatello at the fastest speed.
"Salute!" A second lieutenant in the checkpoint led his platoon of soldiers standing on the side of the road, saluting the vehicles heading north, and the passing Chinese officers also saluting them.
"Can we win? There are quite a few troops?" A soldier asked his platoon leader.
"It will definitely win!" the platoon leader nodded and said. The troops continued to march north,
After less than 10 minutes of march, he passed a built-in position from the United States. However, Japan had not attacked this position and controlled the traffic route from Yancheng to Pocatello. Chinese tank troops quickly passed the position.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters and find that the troops are now advancing north!" A division commander stood there, watching the Chinese troops marching from the flanks of their positions, and said to a staff officer beside him!
"Report, the Chinese troops have taken action. They have just arrived at the position No. 22 and are moving north!" A staff officer came to Patton with a telegram and said to Patton.
"Okay, but why are they on the 22nd position? They should have appeared on the 15th to 18th position. We were attacked violently here, and the 22nd position was not attacked!" Patton heard the staff officer saying that the Chinese troops were taking action.
But it was strange that the appearance of the Japanese attack was on Twenforts, not on the 22nd position.
"What the hell is going on? We don't need reinforcements there!" Another lieutenant general also couldn't understand the situation and asked. (~^~)
