Chapter 53 Air Forces Dispatched
The Japanese attack was frustrated this time and suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, because of the commando, they were in chaos behind them.
In addition, the third unit was destroyed, the Japanese will definitely not end the battle easily next.
And Lu Ming speculated that the Japanese were likely to receive support.
In combat, the biggest advantage of the Japanese army was artillery and aircraft.
They will rely on these two weapons to cause damage to the position and then successfully take the position.
In fact, without the support of artillery and aircraft, it would be not easy for the Japanese army to take down the position.
Of course, these shameless things often violate the Geneva Convention and use poison gas bombs directly.
This also shows that as long as the tactics are used properly and the troops are stubborn and firmly defended, the Japanese are not invincible.
After Lu Ming's proposal, most of the soldiers of the New Regiment began to retreat and took turns to rest, leaving only a few sentry guards on the position.
At the same time, in the nearby 358th Regiment.
The regiment commander Chu Yunfei and the chief of staff Fang Ligong showed serious expressions on their faces. In this battle, they fought fiercely and blocked the attacks again and again.
However, even if they are capable, they are troops of the Jinsui Army after all, and the officers and soldiers will inevitably have different intentions.
For example, the first battalion commander Qian Bojun and the deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui, didn’t they want to surrender to the Japanese as puppet troops in the end?
Therefore, they do not have the fighting will of the Eighth Route Army. Although their weapons and equipment are good, they cannot fully demonstrate their strongest combat power.
In this battle, they blocked the Japanese attack and suffered significant casualties.
Especially at the end, Yuuka Hatani, the captain of the Third Regiment's Grand Left Regiment, fought himself, and the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to attack on the flanks.
If Lu Ming hadn't beaten the Third Regiment, their flank positions might not have been able to be defended.
"The regiment has more than 1,000 casualties in the regiment and consumes a lot of ammunition. If we continue to attack, our regiment will have all the money!"
"You also know that it is still difficult to add to our Jinsui Army's current situation, and we..."
Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei and said with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The 358th Regiment is a strengthening regiment, which shows that Yan Laoxi values Chu Yunfei.
However, the Jinsui Army also had various problems.
As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.
Chu Yunfei has the ability and is also valued, but some of his direct superiors are inevitably going to wear small shoes for him.
In addition, although the Jinsui Army had its own arsenal, it was also greatly affected. It was replenished with weapons and ammunition, which was not as arrogant as before the war began.
Because Yan Laoxi's arsenal was transferred too late, a lot of equipment and inventory fell into the hands of the Japanese.
In addition, the Jinsui Army was too abolished, and even artillery could be lost in order to save its life.
The eight Jin orogenic artillery in the artillery regiment directly under the Eighth Route Army were now rescued by the Jinsui Army in the Hutuo River.
There is a saying that can describe their current situation well, that is, the landlords have no surplus food!
"Brother Li Gong, have you noticed that they can also defend their positions until now when the new regiment is fighting."
"And the results they have obtained are far greater than ours. You must know that there are only more than a thousand people."
"I can conclude that the one who solves the Japanese corps must be their troops. This Li Yunlong is really not easy."
Chu Yunfei ignored Fang Ligong's words. He stood in front of the map and said with a solemn expression on his face.
"According to all sources, they have killed at least the forces of the three Japanese squadrons."
"The combat effectiveness of this unit is indeed very strong, and their regiment commander Li Yunlong is very good at defensive operations."
"But they may not be the ones who dealt with the Japanese wings. The artillery battalion has reported that the Japanese wings were destroyed by mountain cannons."
"Without the New First Regiment, without mountain cannons, they would not be able to destroy the Japanese wing headquarters at this time."
Fang Ligong thought about it and directly expressed his opinion.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh. Although he had an artillery battalion, he didn't have much ammunition.
Otherwise, he would not have allowed the third wing of the Japanese devils to set up the under his nose.
"No matter what, this new group is definitely not simple. Let's learn more about their situation."
Chu Yunfei was silent for a while, and said with a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, the team leader." Fang Ligong immediately agreed.
The 358th Regiment suffered a certain amount of casualties, but their strength is still strong and they are still continuing to hold their positions.
And in the capital of Jin Province, the first Japanese Army headquarters.
News began to be transmitted through the radio station, and Chief of Staff Jie Yuan Xuanyi continued to report.
The main force of Yamamoto's special agent team has made a large-scale detour. The Fourth Brigade and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army have made every effort to attack the Li Yunlong regiment and the Chu Yunfei regiment's position.
At first, the news made the army commander Yoshio Shinozuka very happy. He believed that this battle would bring great achievements.
However, not long after, bad messages began to be sent back.
The Fourth Brigade, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, suffered a setback, and lost more than 2,000 people. The Third Regiment headquarters was bombarded, and officers such as Hasegawa Yuto were broken.
The main force of Yamamoto's special agent team was stubbornly blocked by the Eighth Route Army in Yangcun. They were exposed and could not raid the headquarters.
At least one regiment is rapidly supporting Yangcun, and the headquarters has likely been transferred!
After Yoshio Shinozuka received the news, his face turned gloomy.
"Hiss Commander, are we going to end the current battle?" Chief of Staff Jie Yuanxuan came over and asked carefully.
"No matter who shells the Third Regiment, it doesn't matter anymore. The 358th Regiment and the New Regiment must be completely annihilated."
"Contact the Aviation Force and dispatch it immediately tomorrow morning, and the Fourth Brigade provides air support."
"In addition, contact Yamamoto's special forces team to let them abandon their previous combat plans, withdraw quickly, and support the Fourth Brigade's operations."
"Li Yunlong's new first regiment, Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment, I don't want to see Jin Province having enemy numbers for these two regiments!"
Yoshio Shinozuka got up, and he looked at Keyuan Sheng in front of him, and said with a serious expression on his face.
"Hi, Commander." Jie Yuan Xuanyi immediately saluted and agreed.
Soon, the First Army Command began to contact the aviation force, and the aviation force immediately stated that it would send six bombers to support the operation.
The Yamamoto Special Agents, which were fighting against the Independent Regiment in Yangcun, also received orders. They took advantage of the arrival of the 772nd Regiment and evacuated the battlefield one after another.
Although the Independent Group was prepared for some time this time, it was still beaten to no avail.
Yamamoto's agent team was equipped with submachine guns and also supported by tanks and armored vehicles, and the Independent Regiment suffered heavy casualties.
But this time they still blocked the gun for the headquarters, otherwise the headquarters would be in great danger.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the next morning, the sky had just become brighter.
Several black dots appeared in the sky in the distance, and gradually, these black dots became clear.
These are Japanese bombers smearing plaster flags.
There were six bombers, and they went directly to the positions of the New First Regiment and the 358th Regiment to throw aviation bombs!
Chapter completed!
