Heyuan County.
10th Division Headquarters.
"Division commander, Lieutenant General Tanabe, according to the battle report from the front line, the Eighth Route New Regiment has launched a full-scale counterattack from Dagu Town, Lijia Town and 9 Xiaolu."
The battle report compiled by the 10th Division Chief of Staff Asada Ryoichi was reported to Ishikawa Jiro and Tanabe Moritake:
"The New Regiment received a large amount of air supplies a few days ago. The offensive was very fierce, especially the artillery fire. The artillery wing of the 10th Division was completely suppressed. Almost all departments are requesting tactical guidance!"
The faces of Ishikawa Jiro and Tanabe Moritake suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
They both guessed that the new group would counterattack, but they didn't expect that the new group's counterattack would come so fast and be so fierce.
Without saying a word, he directly hit the 10th Division on the head with a cannonball. Who can withstand this?
The Locust Army cannot afford to fight such a rich war. Were the artillery shells of the new Eighth Route Army regiment blown by the strong wind? What is the origin of the aid channel behind Li Yunlong?
Ishikawa Jiro suddenly thought of the 108th Field Artillery Regiment. This field artillery regiment was originally used to strengthen the 10th Division during the war.
However, in the Xinzhou battlefield, the 108th Field Artillery Regiment was completely wiped out by the air support called by the Eighth Route Army in the open plain terrain.
Otherwise, with the artillery regiment of the 10th Division, the 108th Field Artillery Regiment, plus the mountain artillery, infantry artillery and mortars of each brigade and regiment, we would have the strength to compete with the artillery of the new regiment.
High or low.
Of course, the 10th Division did not have as many artillery shells as the new regiment.
Moreover, heavy troops are needed to continuously transport combat materials from Taiyuan and Datong to the front line.
The new regiment only needs to pick up the radio and call, and the transport aircraft can airdrop combat supplies overhead.
It’s true that comparing people to each other will lead to death, and comparing goods to goods will lead to throwing away things.
Ishikawa Jiro said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that the new regiment can really defeat our 10th Division!"
The combat effectiveness of the 10th Division ranks among the best among Class A divisions. Unexpectedly, it is now facing the situation of being defeated by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
The main reason was that they did not expect that the new regiment's counterattack would come so quickly, and the engineer regiment had not had time to dig the tunnel fortifications.
Otherwise, with the tunnel tactics of the New Regiment, the New Regiment will surely suffer a lot.
"Ishikawa-kun, you are the commander of the 10th Division, you must calm down now!"
Tanabe Moritake reminded that he knew that Ishikawa Jiro was just being stubborn and could not accept the fact that the 10th Division could not defeat the Eighth Route Army.
"Tanabe-kun, you don't need to remind me, I'm very calm now!" Ishikawa Jiro said coldly, and then looked at the chief of staff, "Asada-kun, immediately order the engineering team to withdraw to the second line of defense and build it as quickly as possible
Tunnel fortifications, each regiment will hold the New Regiment at the first line of defense at all costs. If the New Regiment wants to defeat the 10th Division of Japan, it depends on whether they have the ability!"
"In addition, order the 10th Cavalry Regiment to prepare for attack!"
"Hi!" Asada Yoshihito lowered his head and quickly prepared a telegram.
Tanabe Mingwu said in a deep voice to the communications staff officer on the side: "Jinshan Jun, immediately report the situation here to the front army headquarters, and at the same time order the 21st Division, 23rd Division, 25th Division, and 35th Division
, speed up the attack!”
The 10th Division has been fighting here for half a month with the Eighth Route New Regiment, and has a deep understanding of the strength of the New Regiment.
This half-month battle not only made the 10th Division, but also the entire Japanese army get to know the new regiment again.
Judging from the current situation, with a quarter of the 10th Division's casualties, it is already impossible to defeat the new regiment with the 10th Division.
Now the 10th Division can only hold on and wait until the other four divisions encircle them and completely eliminate the new group.
"Hi!" Jin Shanzhong Zuo paused, then turned around and started drafting a telegram.
…
Dagu Town.
New Regiment Headquarters.
Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the head of the regiment, all artillery groups are on full fire, and more than 15,000 artillery shells have been fired at the Japanese and puppet army positions within two hours."
The rate of fire of the 60mm mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of the 82mm mortar can reach more than 20 rounds per minute.
The new regiment's more than 450 guns of various calibers poured shells at the Japanese positions as if they were free.
Once each attacking force discovers the enemy's massed counterattack position, the attacking force will immediately withdraw from the position, call for artillery fire coverage, and then recapture the position after the artillery fire is completed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After repeated battles, the new group of shells were quickly consumed, and the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were also rapidly increasing.
After such repeated pulling, the casualties of the new group of soldiers were not great.
"I'm a good boy!"
"What is this?" Li Yunlong said in a arrogant tone, "We still have 200,000 rounds of artillery shells, and some of them are just for fun with the Japanese."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng, his tone full of expectation: "Counselor Chen, after these 200,000 rounds of artillery shells have been fired, will you continue to airdrop them?"
Chen Feng on the side nodded: "In this battle, even if you destroy 1 million rounds of artillery shells, I will continue to arrange delivery."
"Hahaha!" Li Yunlong suddenly laughed and said, "Doing business with Consultant Chen is comfortable. When this battle is over, I will treat you to a drink!"
In the past, Commander Li Da always said that he had never fought such a rich battle in his life.
And this battle is the richest battle Commander Li has fought so far.
"Captain Li, you're welcome." Chen Feng said, "The more shells you can fire, the better. It's best to let the little devil know what Li Yunlong's ammunition capacity is."
Boss Chen still said the same thing, if the wool of the dog system is lost, you have to pluck it out hard.
"Li Yunlong's ammunition capacity?" Zhao Gang stared at the map and smiled without raising his head, "This word is new."
"Old Zhao, why are you always staring at the map?" Li Yunlong asked.
"I'm thinking," Zhao Gang said, "These little devils from the 10th Division have a cavalry regiment. Our cavalry only has one battalion. How to deal with them?"
At present, the cavalry battalion of the New Regiment has nearly 600 horses. Although more than 200 horses were captured in the last battle in the Xinzhou Basin, these 200 horses must be left to the 2nd Battalion of the New Regiment Cavalry.
Li Yunlong has received a telegram from the headquarters that the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment was organized into a new regiment, designated as the 2nd Battalion of the New Regiment Cavalry.
At present, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New 1st Regiment has returned to the team and has joined the 6th and 7th Battalions of the New 1st Regiment Division to fight on the outside.
"Haha!" Li Yunlong laughed immediately, his tone was quite confident, "Don't worry, we, Old Li, have already thought of a way to deal with the Japanese cavalry unit!"
Zhao Gang hurriedly asked: "What can we do?"
