Chapter 181: Split troops and detours and General Ridge, Laoye Ridge!

"All the old devil, Taro Nagata, is so cruel."

Xu Rui, who observed the battle between Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain on the roof of the bunker command center in the south gate of Jinghai County, soon saw the Japanese bombardment at the last moment of the battle between the two sides on the hills, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.

"Our people must have suffered some casualties!"

Luo Youdu nodded with a serious expression, "I have asked someone to call to inquire about the casualties of the first and second battalions on Dabeishan and Xiaobeishan Mountain."

"But this time, depending on the situation, it should be that the two Japanese infantry brigades attacking the mountain were annihilated, and more than two thousand enemies were annihilated, so it should be no problem."

Xu Rui nodded, but when the Japanese were killed by the Japanese, even when they were bombing their own people, they must have been entangled by the Japanese infantry, some soldiers on the mountain had no time to hide in the anti-aircraft cannon holes under the trenches.

The Japanese did not distinguish between their own shelling, and would definitely cause casualties to both sides in fierce battles.

Soon, the staff who called the staff who asked about the casualties of the First and Second Battalions ran up from the bunker command center below.

"Reporting Corps, Chief of Staff."

The chief staff of the regiment headquarters who ran up reported: "The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping reported that on Dabei Mountain, the first battalion was bombed and killed more than 20 people due to the bombardment of the Japanese. "

"Liu Shuoming, the commander of the Second Battalion on Xiaobei Mountain, reported that the Second Battalion caused more than 40 casualties due to the final artillery bombardment of the Japanese."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "The Second Battalion caused great casualties due to the last-minute artillery bombardment of the Japanese."

"But the combined casualties of the two battalions are less than one hundred, which is within our reach."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "The troupe said yes."

"I didn't expect that Taro Nagata, an old devil, was so cruel. Seeing that the Japanese troops attacking the mountain were on the verge of destruction, they would actually order the artillery group to bomb, even their own people. This is indeed cruel enough, we didn't expect that Xiao

The devils don’t even let their own people go.”

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to the staff who reported the situation: "Order Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming to pay attention to the Japanese's move next."

"Be careful to hide at any time and avoid the Japanese's suicide bombardment!"

The staff officer who reported the situation stood attentively and saluted: "Yes, the rank of the group."

After the staff who reported the situation went on, Xu Rui picked up the telescope and looked out of the city, and then said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Next, let's see how the old Japanese Taro Nagata will fight next?"

"Chief of Staff, do you think the old Japanese Taro Nagata will continue to attack Dabeishan and Xiaobeishan?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say!"

"Although Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain are the two commanding heights outside the city of Jinghai County, it can be a swaying force in cooperation with the defenders in the city. However, the forces of our defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain are all their own.

There is only one battalion of troops. It is estimated that now, Taro Nagata has seen the defending forces on Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe. Perhaps the next second attack should be a real attack on the mountain, and the old devils will definitely do it.

It’s all ready to attack the mountain.”

Xu Rui nodded with a serious expression and said, "Yes!".

"But we can't be careless. Maybe now, Taro Nagata, is thinking of other ways to break the city?"

When Luo Youdu heard this, he said, "The old Japanese cannot take down Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain. It will take several hours to capture Jinghai County, which is simply impossible."

"The ones who guard Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain are both the top main camps of our 303rd Regiment. It is no problem to hold on for a few days."

Xu Rui said in a narrow voice: "I just feel that Taro Nagata, the old devil, will not really fight against Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain to death."

"Our counterattack just now should be the old devil Taro Nagata, who attaches importance to the degree of casualties caused by attacking the mountain."

Luo Youdu heard this and could not refuse.

He just said: "But if the Jinghai County Town wants to be destroyed, the old Japanese devil Nagata Taro will inevitably take down the two commanding heights of Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain outside the city first."

"Otherwise, if you hit the Nanmen City from two mountains, you will only be attacked by firepower, which will not be worth the loss."

Xu Rui heard this, "That's true."

"But you still have to be careless and order all battalions to strengthen their security! Sent Duan Peng to see if he can attack the Japanese artillery group and knock it out!"

Luo Youdu said, "The success rate should be small. Near the Japanese artillery group, two squadrons were arranged to guard the gun group's positions strictly guarding the death."

"Try it!"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Maybe it's not impossible to hit the live horse."

"But let Duan Peng pay attention and take action after he has some grasp of it, he can act at any time."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu nodded and said, "Okay!" Then Luo Youdu arranged for someone to directly send a command of the reconnaissance company commander Duan Peng through a walkie-talkie.

Then, Luo Youdu and Xu Rui went out of the city to observe the movements of the Japanese with a telescope.

At this time, after the tentative attack failed and the 303rd Regiment's counterattack on Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe, Taro Nagata's face was not very good at this time.

After returning to the military tent command center on the back of the mountain, Taro Nagata kept staring at the map on the table.

Seeing that Taro Nagata's face was gloomy, but he did not yell in anger, the chief of staff of the division, Kensabashiro Takefuji, knew that Taro Nagata's current mood was actually pressing, and there was no explosion.

"Second Commander!"

Chief of staff of the division, Kensalo Takeraki, whispered.

"I'm fine, Bamboo Tengjun."

Seeing Kensalo Takeru speak, Taro Nagata waved his hand and said, "I can still bear this loss."

"I didn't expect that it was rumored that Xu Rui's subordinates had secret weapons that could eject explosive packs. It was really true. Did Mr. Zhu Tengjun see those explosive packs?"

Kensalo Takerado nodded and said in a concentrating voice: "I saw it, about each one, at least about ten kilograms, and some of them were about twenty kilograms."

"And the projectiles carried out from behind the Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain directly covered the Imperial Army soldiers who were attacking the mountain. And I saw that the projectiles covered about two hundred meters from the bottom of Xiaobei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.

Within."

Taro Nagata said in a voice: "Bashiki Jun observed it very carefully."

"I saw it too! This kind of thing should have a small range, but in terms of defense, it can pose a threat to the attacking troops at close range."

After a pause, Taro Nagata continued, "Then he will attack Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe. I'm afraid our casualties will be more than two thousand."

"Even with artillery fire, our infantry will eventually attack the mountain. However, the enemy's artillery positions are all behind the mountain, and our artillery fire cannot cover it, so it is difficult to deal with."

Seeing this, Kensalo Takeraki, who knew Nagata's command style, spoke at the right time, "Secretary Commander, what do you mean?"

"The attack on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain will bring too much casualties. This is not the exact use of the Imperial Army soldiers. We have a lot of troops, but in this way, we will completely fall into Xu Rui's trap. It's not worth the loss.

Now.”

Taro Nagata pointed to the map and said in a narrow voice: "So, I decided not to continue to attack Mount Xiaobei and Mount Dabei."

"Divid two units of troops, and directly detour from the flanks, attacking the rear of the enemy's main force."

Kensalo Takerata saw Taro Nagata pointing at several locations in the direction of the two wings of Kyokai Prefecture, and suddenly said: "Teacher Commander, you mean to divide the troops into two groups, from the east and west sides of Kyokai Prefecture, attack the tiger behind the enemy on a large scale.

Pavilion stronghold, Heyuan County and other places.”

"But, this roundabout way is too long!"

After a pause, Kensalo Takeraki pointed to the map and said, "What's more, if you go around from both sides of Jinghai County, you must pass through the General Ridge and Laoye Ridge."

"General Ridge is the defense area of ​​the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Laoye Ridge is the defense area of ​​the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. According to intelligence, these two enemy troops are elite troops that have fought with the Imperial Army. Once the troops are divided into roundabouts,

These two places must be taken down. But once the battle between these two places begins, Xu Rui will definitely know."

Nagata Taro said slyly, "If Xu Rui knew, could he still divide his troops?"

"These places are not his Xu Rui's."

Kensalo Takerata reminded, "The enemy army in Laoyeling is the unit of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Xu Rui's troops jointly fought the remaining troops of the Fourth Brigade and the 40th Infantry Regiment."
