Chapter 543 The fierce battle continues
Li Qinwei bandaged the injured soldier. When the soldier saw that he was a division commander, he wanted to stand up, but was pressed by Li Qinwei.
"There are not so many rules on the battlefield!" Li Qinwei said with a smile.
"Teacher Commander, I killed two Japanese devils. I could see clearly. I was there, and I was still lying there now!" the warrior said with a smile.
"Okay, it's not easy to fight, aren't it??" Li Qinwei looked at the soldier, laughing at the question, and at the same time bandaging the soldier in his hand!
"Well. However, I've been on the battlefield before, but I didn't kill the Japanese. I just injured one, and was later beaten to death by other comrades! It's not my credit." The soldier said shyly.
"That's great. At the beginning, I was following Brother Bin's butt to carry a gun!" Li Qinwei deliberately encouraged the warrior and said.
"By the way, division commander, when will Brother Bin come? Brother Bin come, my brothers said that as long as we resist, when Brother Bin comes, we will chase the Japanese and fight. Brother Bin will kill those Japanese, sure!" The warrior asked again. The other soldiers also stared at Li Qinwei.
"That's right, Brother Bin is here, it's time for us to chase the Japanese to fight. Now we just need to hold on. After the fellow villagers behind us retreat, this is our world. We can fight the Japanese as we want, but now we can't fight casually. We have to wait until the fellow villagers behind us leave.
So, comrades, we have to hold on. I know that everyone is very tired and scared. I am actually scared. Every time I go to the battlefield, I am scared, but I know that I am scared of being useless. If I don’t kill the Japanese, we are not only afraid, but even the people behind us will be scared. They will be bullied by the Japanese. No matter how scared we are, we must pick up our weapons and look at the Japanese. We cannot let the Japanese go!" After Li Qinwei tied the soldiers up, he said to the other soldiers.
"Well, we know!" The soldiers nodded.
"Eat something. I'll go to other places to take a break after eating. The Japanese will attack in the afternoon!" Li Qinwei photographed the warrior and stood up and said. The other warriors also stood up and watched Li Qinwei leave.
"Mad. Now our main force has less than 9ooo people. Such a battle is really a big sacrifice!" Li Qinwei stood there, lit a cigarette and said.
"Teacher Commander, when will Brother Bin come?" A regiment commander looked at Li Qinwei and asked.
"I don't know, but I will definitely come. Brother Bin can't let the Japanese attack the city we control, so now we just have to persevere!" Li Qinwei shook his head and said.
"Well, we know too. We just don't know what to come, just come. When we come, we are not afraid of those Japanese. With the army commander here, the morale of the comrades is high!" Another regiment commander nodded and said.
"Yes, Brother Bin is here, and he has the courage to fight in war. He fights whatever he wants. The Japanese didn't even dare to come. This time the Japanese attacked us, and they knew that Brother Bin had taken the troops out, and they wouldn't dare to come over if they were beaten to death!" Li Qinwei looked into the distance and nodded and said.
He also hopes that Hu Bin can come soon. Since he became the division commander, the casualties this time were the biggest, and other divisions were similar. There is no tactics at all in defense operations. As long as it can be blocked, there is no other tactics for you to choose from!
"Brother Bin, the telegram from the front line, preliminary statistics on the morning's war losses!" Mo She took the telegram to the place where Hu Bin was resting and said to Hu Bin.
"Yeah." Hu Bin nodded, and started reading with the telegram.
"Hu!" Hu Bin looked at it for the first time. There were more than 16,000 casualties this morning, of which 7 of them were sacrificed. However, on the battlefield, it is initially expected that the casualties of the Japanese will only be more or less. Hu Bin is somewhat comforted. Such a war loss ratio should be the highest in combat for ordinary troops.
Later, Li Tianxing also said that the troops now have to hold on for one day. Only after one day can they retreat to the second line of defense, which can delay the Japanese for a day and allow the soldiers to take a break. The shells are now like they don’t have money, because their supply lines are broken and they can be sent here immediately without ammunition.
If you retreat to the second line of defense, then the Japanese supply line will be lengthened. Don’t look at it. It’s less than 50 miles away. However, with the consumption of food, the transportation of wounded personnel, and the transportation of troops, the supply will be much slower. Therefore, such a fierce attack by the Japanese will not be maintained at that time.
"Tele to Chief Li and Political Commissar Li, speed up the retreat, put the Japanese in and fight, prepare enough reserve troops, and in addition, the militias of each division must also be organized and wait for my orders at any time!" Hu Bin said to Mo She.
"Yes!" Mo She nodded and said.
Hu Bin sat there, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. Now he was under a lot of pressure. Some people in China were accusing Hu Bin of not fighting the Japanese, beating his own people, and taking away the main force. They said that Hu Bin was helping the Japanese.
Even his father, Hu Changgui, also sent a telegram to Li Dalong. Li Dalong brought it to Hu Bin. In the telegram, he asked Hu Bin what he was doing and why he didn't transfer troops to resist the Japanese, but took Hu Bin to Shaanxi.
"Hu!" Hu Bin exhaled.
Now Hu Bin just hopes that when it gets dark, his troops will be able to move quickly. As long as it gets mobilized, Hu Bin will feel better. As soon as he reaches his goal in one day, the pressure on those troops who are defending will be reduced sharply!
"Brother Bin, eat something!" After Mo She went to explain the telegram, he came over with the food. Hu Bin took the lunch box and started eating.
"Brother Bin, I just received a telegram from the deputy commander, and he stated that he would come to our side tomorrow and ask our troops not to move. Do we want it?" Mo She said to Hu Bin.
"No, now we just think that we have lost contact. We don't have any telegrams to Yan'an or Chongqing. By the way, we don't have any telegrams to Commander Peng or Commander Chen, we just can't answer them!" Hu Bin said.
"Okay!" Mo She nodded.
After Hu Bin finished his meal, he lay there and went to bed. Now he must rest well, and his troops will start to move tonight!
On the other side of Nanyang, Wei Lihuang had secretly issued an order to the troops behind him, ordering them to act at night, hide during the day, and gather in Xinyang quickly. The troops will not be in any way. Moreover, Wei Lihuang also issued an order to the troops along the way from Shangluo to Xinyang. On the main road, there should be no checkpoints. All troops will enter the defensive positions and make way for Hu Bin's troops.
At around 3 pm, the Japanese in Hubei launched a fierce attack again. Now they were anxious. They were so injured that they still could not invade. Moreover, the troops of the two attacking divisions were rotating attacks, but after fighting like this, they still failed to successfully rush to the defensive position of the 99th Army once.
So the division commanders on the front line were also very angry, but when they saw such powerful firepower on the defensive position, they also knew that if they wanted to fight, the casualties would probably increase, but the command center behind them was urging them tightly, so they could only order the troops to strengthen their attacks.
In order to be able to fight fire with the 99th Army troops, they have already concentrated a division's heavy machine gun and wanted to use firepower to suppress the firepower of the defensive positions. However, this morning, more than 70 of their heavy machine gunners died, all of whom are old machine gunners and experienced.
Because Hu Bin's ordinary troops also train sharpshooters just to deal with heavy machine gunners and mortars, and also the commanders who led the Japanese to charge. Therefore, the division commanders on the front line are also very troubled.
"Baga, if we still can't make a comeback this afternoon, it will probably be difficult then. Now we will suffer a lot of casualties!" A division commander said as he looked at the bombardment of the positions in the distance.
This was when the Japanese artillery bombed the defensive positions of the 99th Army, and those troops had already begun to charge towards the defensive positions of the 99th Army under the cover of the artillery. However, the two division commanders behind looked at the situation in front, with a look of sorrow.
They originally thought that this battle was easy to fight, but Anan Weiji suppressed them and prevented them from attacking Hu Bin's troops. They didn't understand. Now they knew that if they were really fighting in a field battle, a division unit might not win against a division unit of the 99th Army.
"The 99th Army, we must kill it. If we don't kill this army, it will be a great threat to the empire. The commander of this army is Hu Bin, and Hu Bin has caused our empire to lose a large number of generals.
Damn it, when Hu Bin was in Xi'an, he was a company commander and battalion commander. At that time, he had to concentrate a large number of troops to kill him. Unfortunately, his wings are hard now, and he is no longer a cordial that several divisions can chew on." Another division commander said a little annoyed.
"Who could have thought that he could grow so fast? This time I guess we have to fight firmly and not make a rash move. Hu Bin now has brought tens of thousands of troops out. Once they kill from somewhere, it will be troublesome. Even if he just goes to their defense line, it will be a huge pressure.
I heard that Hu Bin took away the most powerful attack troops of the 99th Army, Baga. Now these troops can be said to be the most powerful troops in China, and the troops taken away by Hu Bin are even more powerful, which is unimaginable. So, if we advance rashly, we may suffer losses at that time." The division commander said with some concern.
Dear friends, today there are only two updates. I will make up for the chapters that are not updated tomorrow or the next day. Thank you for your understanding! (To be continued.)
