Chapter 1027: Dont pretend, youre going to be a clever card!
Yes, according to common sense, the four-line regiment that broke through all the defense lines of the Japanese rear wing should be the one who was brave enough to chase the poor enemy, and would not give the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were fleeing a glimmer of chance.
But the Four Lines Regiment came to the opposite direction. Not only did they not intend to pursue the victory, but instead fought steadily. The entire vanguard army just advanced less than 1,000 meters and stopped the pursuit.
This not only gave the remnants of the Japanese army a chance to survive, but also gave Yamashita Fumi to mobilize his troops to re-arrange the rear wing.
The 683rd Brigade located on the front battlefield basically used no infantry except for using artillery bombardment and heavy machine guns to attack Japanese positions on the flanks.
In this attack war initiated by the entire Second Mixed Brigade, except for the main force in the rear wing battlefield and the artillery brigade, it seemed that it had not reached a complete collapse.
After all, they seem to have more than 3,000 imperial officers and soldiers. Even if the Chinese want to swallow them in one go, it will not take a day or a night.
But Yamashita knew that this was actually the harshness of the Chinese.
If the Chinese gather all the main forces and attack the remaining more than 3,000 Japanese imperial officers and soldiers, it would be like fighting against an injured wild boar with a knife. Although the wild boar is destined to become a dead pig, the Chinese will not feel much better if they fight to the death.
Therefore, the vicious Chinese wanted to kill his fierce wild boar, but they didn't want to be too hurt, so they gave up the knife and used ropes.
Yes, now the Chinese not only severely damaged the artillery brigade, but also continuously compressed the tactics of the second mixed brigade's tactics and circumcision space. It was like a rope that was constantly tightened. When the second mixed brigade wanted to fight desperately, it was because of reality that they could only watch the enemy's rope tighten and eventually the entire army was destruction.
But for Shanxia Wen, who was sitting on a chair, what could he do even if he saw the Chinese people’s vicious plan?
Unless he now orders the entire army to abandon the baggage and break through the mountains.
You don’t have to look at the cliffs on the right wing, and you can tell at the foot of the mountain that perhaps the Chinese would rather want him to do this.
Not to mention that the mountain is rugged and difficult to move, maybe it would be possible to ambush countless elite Chinese troops. As long as the opponent takes up the high ground and only uses one infantry squad, a large area can be blocked. It is difficult to climb that kind of high ground with bare hands, let alone catch it in the rain of bullets, which is almost indissoluble.
Then you can only take a detour, but in such a big mountain, it is not that easy to find a way out again? Maybe it’s easy to take a day, but it’s just a cliff.
In such a mountain, the march was slow and there was not much food. Perhaps no Chinese attacks were needed. Just dragging them alone could starve the remaining 3,000 people to death.
For Yamashimi, who is somewhat rational, the battlefield is now a Jedi. If it drags on, it is destined to be annihilated. However, the mountain that seems to be able to escape is more like a trap and a real death. If all the heavy weapons are abandoned and they will not even have the opportunity to wait for reinforcements.
Even Yamashita Fu was actually completely desperate for the 108th Division that was coming to assist.
Yes, the 108th Division had already called in the morning. The Chinese deployed at least two infantry divisions on the necessary route of the 108th Division, blocking the two infantry brigades of the 108th Division from Liaocheng and Licheng.
Even if the 108th Division attacks regardless of casualties, it is estimated that it will take at least 2 days to arrive.
Two days? Yamashita Fumiya knew that it was just a statement that the 108th Division comforted him. I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to make a promise. Even if they arrived as promised, two days would be enough for the Chinese to tighten most of the ropes. He had only more than 3,000 people left in his second mixed brigade, but that was a hope after all, not?
Yamashita Fumi sat on the chair and didn't speak for ten minutes.
In the distance, Tang Dao, who had already walked out of the Shanzhong Command, arrived at the third camp's position accompanied by Ye Chenghuan.
"Leng Feng, how about the casualties of the first battalion in this battle?" Tang Dao glanced at the battlefield where the Japanese army was corpse, and did not ask about the number of enemies annihilated, but first asked about his own casualties.
"Report to the commander, because of the Japanese artillery and infantry raid, in the first wave of counterattacks, my battalion suffered a lot of casualties, so I asked the regiment headquarters to punish him." Leng Feng, who won the victory, had no happiness on his face, and heaviness appeared on his face.
"The Japanese army's surprise raid was not only unexpected by your third battalion, but also by the regiment headquarters. You asked for punishment now, not to set me, Director Ye, Chief of Staff Gu and others on the fire! You just want to say how many casualties in the entire battalion have so far." Tang Dao frowned slightly and criticized.
"Report to the two commanders. Ten minutes ago, 136 people were sacrificed in our battalion, and more than 80 seriously injured were rescued. There is no count of minor injuries for the time being." Leng Feng lowered his head and said.
"Then how many enemies do you annihilate?" Ye Chenghuan asked in surprise.
This battle is not small in scale, but it is definitely not the first time for Ye Chenghuan, who has experienced many battles. However, this is the first time that Ye Chenghuan led his troops to fight after he came to the Four Army Group as the director of the Political Department.
Ye Chenghuan, who already has a certain understanding of the strength of the Four-Entertainment Group, has enough confidence in the victory of this battle, but he is still worried.
As the main regiment of the 683rd Brigade, he had worked hard with the Japanese army a lot and knew the strength of the Japanese army very well. Even with the current military literacy and firepower intensity of the Four Army Regiment, it would be amazing to attack under the formation of both sides and be able to fight a 1-2 loss.
To be honest, Tang Dao ordered the three infantry battalions to face the three defense lines of the Japanese army, and the offensive and defensive forces were roughly the same. Ye Chenghuan was very opposed. He even clearly pointed out at the senior military meeting of the supervisor-level level attended by the three battalions commanders that Tang Dao used the lives of the officers and soldiers under his command as a joke.
This is why Tang Dao knew Ye Chenghuan's upright personality. If he had any other troops, the third leader said that the first leader would not take the life of his brothers under his command, and he might not turn against him on the spot, so he would have recorded the account.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But what surprised Ye Chenghuan was that Tang Dao really managed the Four Lines Regiment like a solid piece. Even if he opposed it so much, and the real situation was the same. However, from Lei Xiong to Gu Shaoxun to the other two infantry battalions commanders, they all raised their hands to agree to Tang Dao's tactics.
This made Ye Chenghuan a little disheartened, but as a soldier, he did not intend to give up. He even persuaded Tang Dao last night, and he personally led all the remaining combat troops of the special agent battalion as reserve teams to support the three infantry battalions.
However, Tang Dao still refused.
Ye Chenghuan, who was forced to stay in the command post of the regiment headquarters, almost sleepless all night. He was even more anxious when he heard the news of the Japanese army on the front line's initiative. However, this time he did not blame Tang Dao.
After working with Tang Dao for two months, he actually had a very good impression of Tang Dao, a commander who was a few years younger than him. Except for yesterday's order, the others were perfect enough.
The Japanese army's active attack was beyond everyone's expectations, and the same was true for him. If there was any problem, the superiors held accountable and Ye Chenghuan had decided to advance and retreat with Tang Dao.
Fortunately, no one of the three infantry battalions and artillery battalions disappointed. Not only did they block the Japanese attack, but they also launched a general attack on the Japanese rear wing defense line according to the time set by the military meeting and successfully defeated the Japanese defense line.
This is a good thing. The only thing that worries Ye Chenghuan is that his side has suffered too many casualties.
When he heard that more than 130 people were sacrificed, it was a subversive impact for Director Ye who had already made various mental preparations. Therefore, despite the presence of the chief officer Tang Dao, he took the initiative to ask about the number of annihilated Japanese troops.
"The corpses of the devils have not been available yet. Director Ye, you know that the Japanese devils have always been stubborn and hard, and there are very few deserters or surrenders. The devils on this position are probably here!" Leng Feng hesitated and replied. "There are about a thousand people."
"In addition to serious injuries, there are only more than 200 people, and they wiped out a thousand enemies of the defenders, with a 1-5 loss." Ye Chenghuan's mind instantly showed this data comparison, and his mind was buzzing in an instant.
In fact, this is a battle loss ratio that he never dared to imagine in his dreams.
Even if he used to attack the weakest White Dogzi, he still used defense to attack, which was roughly the same. In the past, he led the 772nd Regiment and fought no less than five times. He still used his superior forces to use his superior terrain to ambush the final victory. The battle loss ratio was mostly maintained at 1 to 2, or 3.
No wonder Tang Dao was so sure to fight like this yesterday! It turned out that he was confident.
"The casualties are still a little bit greater. Leng Feng, the chief officers of your third battalion, including the company commanders of each company, should take it as a warning. After the war, they personally wrote a detailed report to explain their own advantages and shortcomings in this battle, and handed over to the regiment headquarters." Tang Dao nodded and said.
"Sir, it's okay to talk about the advantages and disadvantages, but those big guys have problems writing their names, so they ask them to write their own reports..." Leng Feng was a little embarrassed.
"There are excellent people, they are all company commanders and can't even write words. You battalion commander are so embarrassed to cover them." Tang Dao frowned and couldn't help but get angry. "Didn't college students give them these tutoring balls in the past few months? Li Jiujin, who is a damn girl, must have been foolish to me again. Tell me about them that if I can't write words, I'll draw circles for me instead. Then I ask Director Ye to take them to the military meeting of the regiment headquarters to read one by one."
Damn! Ye Chenghuan twitched hard. Commander Tang was taking revenge on him yesterday’s objection! At the level of Li Jiujin and others, they must be circles except for their names!
"I'll go and have a ball, waiting to be scolded!" Li Jiujin, who was jogging all the way from the trenches, just heard Tang Dao scolding "Damn Li Jiujin". He immediately turned around and ran away, and pulled his own straight guard.
Li Jiujin knew Tang Dao's personality very well. I'm afraid that his cold-faced battalion commander would have said that Tang Dao was extremely unhappy, otherwise Tang Dao would not have called him and scolded him.
It is worthy of being a Tang Dao's iron player, Li Jiujin guessed it too correctly.
Tang Dao was actually quite satisfied with the captains and company commanders who were promoted by grassroots soldiers under his command. Although they had different personalities, they all had the courage and wisdom necessary for soldiers. Whether Li Jiujin, who followed him from the beginning, Wei Donglai, Cai Yongguan, etc., who later joined, they were all the best among the intermediate officers of the Four Lines Regiment.
But they also have an extremely stubborn feature of this era, and more than 60% of them are illiterate. Just like Li Jiujin, who wrote the jin in his name, the one in his vertical writing was crooked and unbearable to look at it. Cai Yongguan, a company commander of the Sichuan Army who was born in a bandit, was even more awesome. He didn't even know how to say it, but his father even made the name very complicated. Every time this guy signed, he would have a big cabbage and two circles. He also said that his cabbage was very distinctive and difficult for anyone to imitate.
Well, ugly is actually a characteristic. Tang Dao must admit that he makes sense.
Before, thinking that there were such a group of top students on the way, Tang Dao specially arranged some male students to give tutoring to these companies and platoon leaders.
A girl, Tang Dao, dared not arrange it. Since ancient times, Hongzhuang loved heroes. Although those guys were not very educated, they were murderous and wild when they came down from the battlefield. To put it in modern terms, they were walking hormones. Once something happened, Tang Dao was afraid that his future father-in-law would draw his sword and chop him.
‘Damn it, I asked you to send the elites of the nation to places where they need them to guard the nation, not to let you find a wife for your subordinates.’
Without Dan Tai Yunshu's words, Tang Dao could think of it even with his butt.
Men and men may still find resonance on the battlefield, but reading and writing are all about it! It's really almost meaningful.
The poor students, led by Li Jiujin and Cai Yongguan, have prepared all the pens and papers, either the troops have something to do or the battalion department, and the regiment department has a meeting. After two months, I haven’t even learned all the names. The truth that “there are too many stationery for poor students is just not used” is fully demonstrated.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Tang Dao actually used this opportunity to remind himself, Director Ye, to let these rough people learn more about culture, whether they are talking about various great principles, talking about lofty ideals, and drawing a grand blueprint for the future, they will also understand more!
Otherwise, they know the evil capitalist comprador and imperialist hegemony? At this time, they only know that if they don’t fight off the Japanese, their parents, wives and children will be bullied, and their brothers will be killed by the Japanese like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.
"Haha, regiment, don't blame Battalion Commander Leng and Company Commander Li. These are all problems for me, the director of the Political Department. After this battle, I immediately asked the teaching brigade to organize a captain-level cultural training class after I went back. It would not affect the normal work of the troops. I would give me half a year, no, three months to ensure that the heads of each company could write a report normally." Ye Chenghuan in a good mood said quickly.
"For Director Ye's sake, I won't mention this anymore." Tang Dao saw Ye Chenghuan taking the initiative to take on the job, his expression no longer serious.
"Sir, then the next step is still like you arranged at the meeting. Don't you kill the Japanese, but press them step by step?" Leng Feng pulled the topic to the subsequent battlefield.
"Hehe, this! That's not what I proposed, but Director Ye's idea. You have to ask him." Tang Dao smiled slightly and pushed Ye Chenghuan out.
Ye Chenghuan was still a little restrained and serious when he arrived at the Four Army Regiment. Perhaps it was because of the brigade commander Cheng and Commander Liu that he should not steal the limelight of the chief official Tang Dao, so he rarely expressed strategic and tactical opinions at military meetings. That is, yesterday, he might have had great concerns about the lack of military investment, so he finally stood up and no longer tolerated it.
This tactic of using the Japanese army to exhaust the Japanese army like a gradually tightening rope was also proposed by him. It is probably because he did not want to fight the Japanese invaders who were still fighting the trapped beasts, and it was useless to lose the troops of the Four Army Regiment and the 683rd Brigade. Tang Dao and Brigade Commander Cheng accepted his suggestion.
As the final victory was about to be achieved, more than 3,000 Japanese troops fought their best and at least 1,500 Chinese soldiers were taken away. This was something that both commanders Tang Dao and Brigade Commander Cheng were unwilling to see.
It’s not that I dare not sacrifice, but that I don’t need it.
The 108th Division did not lie. Seeing that the Second Mixed Brigade had already crashed into the net of the 683rd Brigade and the Four-Road regiment, the boss of the 80th Group Army immediately adjusted his troops and not only sent out the infantry division of the Third Army, but also sent all his reserves, the newly established independent regiment of the 683rd Brigade, the two new regiments of the 921st Division, and a main regiment of the 511th Division to intercept the 108th Division.
The military order received by more than 20,000 Chinese soldiers was that unless the entire army was in full swing, a Japanese invader would not be allowed to cross the line of defense.
‘Fight to the death and never retreat’ is almost completely contrary to the Eighty Army, which has summarized the essence of guerrilla warfare.
It can be seen from this that the boss and the entire Second War Zone must resolutely eat up the determination of the Shanxia Cultural Tourism Group.
If you fight like this, let alone two days, multiply this number of days by five, it is estimated that the 108th Division will not be able to reach this place. The only support the Japanese army can only obtain is from the air.
In the battle yesterday, half of the attacking Japanese fighter jet formations were killed. Do they still dare to come? Even if they dare to come, the air defense position composed of 27 anti-aircraft guns and more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns has been re-alived and is waiting in the mountains.
Japanese aircraft either come to fight for bayonets at a low altitude or drop bombs at a height of 2,000 meters, and the threat is no longer that great.
The second mixed brigade group was already the turtle in the pot and it was stewed.
It depends on whether it is boiling on high heat or simmering on low heat!
"But I still have a question. What should I do if the Japanese dog jumps over the wall and flees to the mountains? Our troops cannot cover the entire mountain range, and there will inevitably be fish that miss the net." Leng Feng hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Then we are asking for it!" Facing Leng Feng, who was straightforward, Ye Chenghuan and Tang Dao looked at each other and replied with a smile.
"What you Captain Leng wants, do you think Director Ye would not have thought! The reconnaissance company under Director Ye had already gone on duty yesterday." Tang Dao turned his head to look at the mountains and rivers in the distance, with a cold look.
"The trap has been dug long ago and the hunter has already been in place. It depends on how the sick tiger in the foot of the mountain has chosen. Was it hanged by us with a rope? Or try hard to jump around again!"
Yamashita is also trying his best to make his own choice.
For both the main generals, the battle to this extent, no strength is retained, and including intentions, it is already considered a clear card.
The rest depends on how they play cards.
The order of playing cards is wrong, and cards that seem to win may not be able to laugh to the end.
