Chapter 869 The commander sighs
After the order was issued, Wang Ping continued to ask: "Is there any other news?"
"Yes!" the communication platoon leader answered immediately.
"Bailiff Yan, the third battalion, reported that the Japanese and puppet troops who were responsible for harassing suddenly turned around and marched back to Xiangfen County. They were trying to find a way to slow down their march! Battalion Commander Yan also said that if the regiment headquarters could give him another battalion, he would have a way to kill them on the way to retreat by the Japanese!"
"God really helps me!" Wang Ping shouted in front of his eyes.
"In order to hold back the three infantry brigades of the Japanese, our first, second and fourth main battalions will definitely suffer heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the Japanese immediately sent an infantry brigade to our mouths to make up for our losses!"
"Platform Commander Yang, please send the commander a telegram immediately and transfer the original text of Yan Song's report to the commander. Please ask the commander to choose the battlefield and kill them... and then call Yan Song back and ask him to contact the commander on his own initiative. From now on, his third battalion will obey the commander's command!"
"Yes, the leader..."
After watching the communication platoon leader rush out of the war room, Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to Jin Kai.
"Captain, are you going to start the attack?" He came in and looked at Wang Ping with his eyes lit up and asked.
Wang Ping nodded and ordered: "Order the troops to prepare for battle. The kitchen team seized the time to cook dinner. There were still two hours before the Japanese plane could not come out. We strive to have an hour later and leave in two hours!"
When he came in, he immediately replied: "Please rest assured that the troops are ready!"
The atmosphere at the command center of the Japanese military brigade in Xiangfen County was very solemn.
Since the withdrawal order was issued, Major General Kawaguchi's face has never looked good.
Because the situation feedback from the battlefield is increasingly proving one's judgment on the situation.
"General, the three brigades call back, and the Eighth Route Army moving around them seemed crazy, attacking them, blocking them, and preventing them from withdrawing from the Eighth Route Army base. Now, the three brigades will suffer huge casualties every step back!"
"It must be that the Eighth Route Army has set its sights on one of our brigades again and wants to kill this brigade in their base!" Major General Kawaguchi replied with a calm face.
After looking down at the gold watch on his wrist, he continued, "It will be dark in less than two hours, and the aviation army must return. The Eighth Route Army must want to drag it until dark. After the aviation army is forced to return, we will concentrate our main force and kill one of our infantry brigades!"
After saying that, Major General Kawaguchi had a strong murderous aura radiated from his body, staring at the Chief of Staff and ordered.
"Give orders to the three brigades to strengthen their offensives and not be afraid of wasting ammunition. If the infantry cannot solve the problem, use artillery to solve the problem, or call for airline support. Be sure to seize the last two hours when the aviation force can still reinforce, rush out of the Eighth Route Army base and return to the base!"
"Also, order the intelligence department, no matter how much the price it costs, be sure to find out the specific location of the Eighth Route Army reinforcements!"
"The forces of several regiments cannot suddenly disappear under our noses!"
"Only by figuring out their specific location can we determine what the next goal of the Eighth Route Army is!"
Although there were Japanese aircraft cruising back and forth above their heads, the forces of the two regiments of the military region's direct brigade still seized the time to rush towards Xiangfen County.
Because they walked on small roads, mountain roads, and were scattered in units of companies, they hid in advance when they heard the roar of planes from afar. The Japanese did not see the Eighth Route Army marching under their noses.
"Commander, the results of the battle have been counted!" The commander also followed the troops with two legs. As he walked, the excitement of the Chief of Staff of the Direct Brigade came from behind.
"Seeing that you are so happy, you must have gained a lot!" The commander asked with a good mood.
The Chief of Staff immediately replied: "The seizure is very huge: there are more than 800 rifles captured. If the ones destroyed by shells and explosives packs are included, there will definitely be more than 1,000. In addition, there are eight intact heavy machine guns, nine mortars, two infantry guns, four mountain guns, and 25 light machine guns. The total number of various bullets is over 150,000. This is just a box. It is not counted as the Japanese carrying them. If all of them are included, there will definitely be nearly 100,000 more bullets!"
"There are many shells, there are 200 infantry shells, 500 mountain shells, and more than 1,100 mortar shells. Except for mortar shells, all other shells were seized by us before we could use them."
"In addition, more than 250 puppet troops who followed the Japanese to operate were captured by us!"
The commander answered very satisfiedly: "It's still a lot of money that was seized in Wang Ping's war. After one battle, a regiment's equipment was obtained, and there were so many ammunition!"
The Chief of Staff knew the meaning of the commander's words and analyzed with emotion: "Yes, Commander! If we were to fight this battle ourselves, without the new platoon of engineers and flying thunder cannon companies participating in the battle, not only will the casualties be large, but it would be great if the capture was half as high as it is now!"
"The Japanese are too cruel. When they see that the situation of the war is not good for them, they will destroy the excess weapons and ammunition and prevent us from seizing them!"
"If the engineer platoon hadn't instantly killed nearly two squadrons of the Japanese with explosives, the Flying Thunder Cannon Company suddenly fired and killed dozens of people, creating conditions for a battle. We should end the battle before the Japanese could react and not give the Japanese time to destroy weapons and ammunition. Many weapons in this place would definitely be blown into scrap iron before the Japanese died!"
The commander couldn't help but sigh: "This is why under the same circumstances, the New First Regiment can fight stronger and stronger under the heavy army of the Japanese. And many troops not only cannot be able to spread, but they will fight weaker and weaker!"
"The reason is very simple. Since you decide to fight a battle, then fight an annihilation battle. Take out all the cards in your hand and end the battle as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. On the battlefield, the more you are afraid of wasting ammunition, the more difficult it will be to kill the enemy!"
"The result of this is that when the ammunition is used, the troops are also lost a lot. Instead, they failed to defeat the Japanese, or defeat the Japanese, and their weapons and ammunition were almost destroyed by them before they died. What did they not seize?"
"Of course, there are prerequisites for fighting like this, that is, you have full confidence in the battle that the troops are about to fight."
"If a squadron of Japanese devils don't have confidence, then fight a squadron of Japanese devils. If it doesn't work, fight a squadron of Japanese devils. In short, you must be sure to win to fight like this!"
The Chief of Staff is the future brigade commander of the direct brigade. He knew very well that the commander was taking the exam to teach him.
He nodded thoughtfully and replied: "Please rest assured, commander, after the battle is over, I will definitely summarize it carefully and learn as much as possible in commanding the troops as possible!"
After that, I subconsciously wanted to ask the commander whether the equipment and ammunition seized by the troops had immediately replenished the troops.
You know, since the end of the battle, several battalion commanders focused on these equipment and asked themselves more than once when they would fill up the heavy machine gun platoon and mortar company in their hands.
Before he could say anything, the communications consultant rushed over.
"Chief, the telegram of the leader of the new regiment king!"
"Give it to me..." Although I haven't read the content of the telegram yet, as an excellent soldier, the commander has a strong premonition, and there must be good news to tell himself about this telegram!
