"Commander-in-Chief, the artillery shells of the stubborn Japanese are really free. In this short time, at least several hundred rounds have been fired." Lieutenant General Guo, who walked in from the door and dusted himself off, looked a little heavy. "Dog."
If you are so willing to spend money, you can't put heavy troops on the flanks of our army! Do you think we have to transfer a regiment from the 128th Division over there to support Tang Dao and the others?"
Seeing that the Japanese army's dozens of artillery spared no expense, and in less than ten minutes, the position was filled with smoke, and there was no intention of stopping, the calm Lieutenant General Guo finally became a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Guo, you are so concerned that you are causing chaos!" Lieutenant General Wu, who had been sitting in the headquarters and carefully watching the map, heard his colleague say this and couldn't help but raise his head and smile. "What's wrong, are you doing this to Tang Dao and him?"
The independent battalion has no confidence!”
"It's not that we don't have confidence, it's just that the Eighteenth Division's strength is no less than that of our army. Now that it has added an infantry brigade, its strength is even larger. It is not difficult to mobilize an infantry regiment to reinforce its vanguard." Lieutenant General Guo.
Shaking his head. "If the infantry companies of the Independent Battalion are fighting and are surrounded by a large Japanese army, and they are outside the defense line, and if the Japanese come to the encirclement point for reinforcements, do you think our army will rescue them or not?"
"Haha! My brother Guo! If it were anyone else, even if we were leading a group, I might be as worried as you are, but the leader is Tang Dao. You and I don't know how evil that kid is! Only
He took advantage, so who else took advantage of him? Of course the Japanese are not the best." Lieutenant General Wu laughed loudly, and then handed a note on the table to Lieutenant General Guo. "Look, this was five minutes ago.
The message he sent."
"The Second Company of our independent battalion has defeated one side of the Japanese army's position that is currently surrounded. About a hundred Japanese soldiers are still confronting our army in the fields. I decided to launch a general attack on them after implementing five minutes of fire suppression. They must be defeated before their reinforcements arrive.
Annihilate them!" Lieutenant General Guo picked up the note and muttered softly, with a look of joy on his face.
"What does this mean? They surrounded an infantry squadron of Japanese troops with just one infantry company, and had already defeated one of them and trapped the rest in the encirclement?"
"That's right!" Lieutenant General Wu nodded with satisfaction. "This kid Tang Dao is really a born soldier. He can be beaten like this in an unprepared encounter. Even with almost the same strength,
How dare you think of a war of annihilation."
He picked up his pocket watch and looked at it, "I also want to know how he did it. In fifteen minutes, he wiped out an infantry squadron of Japanese troops on his frontal position, causing the Japanese troops on his two flanks to completely lose frontal protection.
, it is not impossible to annihilate them all."
He looked at his colleagues with deep envy, "Brother Guo! Our family doesn't speak the same language, and you also know the family background of my Northeast Army. I will give you the equipment of a full infantry regiment in exchange for
What do you think of this brat Tang Dao being alone?"
"Commander-in-Chief, you can't be influenced by that Tang Dao guy, who can be so generous in poaching people? You know that our 43rd Army only recruits so many people, so please spare me, Lao Guo!"
Lieutenant General Guo was startled. He shook his head like a rattle and refused without even thinking.
If the weapons and equipment are no longer available, they can be bought or returned to Sichuan to raise them, but if the talents are gone, they are gone. This is just like what later generations said in peacetime, wives and cars cannot be loaned out. In times of war, weapons that can kill people
A subordinate who can fight is more important than a wife.
"By the way, the meaning of Tang Dao's telegram is that he will resolve the battle within half an hour?" Lieutenant General Guo wisely changed the topic quickly, not giving his partner a chance to continue wielding the hoe.
Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Lieutenant General Wu could only stop entangled in the matter for the time being. He nodded and said: "Yes! Tang Dao means not to give the Japanese reinforcements a chance to rescue them. He will fight quickly, but this guy! This
A battle was fought, it was like military training, and it was clear that he wanted to stab the Japanese in the heart again before leaving."
"Training troops?" Lieutenant General Guo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, dissatisfaction welling up in his eyes: "This kid likes to play this kind of counter-tactics, everyone thought he wanted to make more military exploits, who knew
He actually wanted to rely on a night attack to temper his newly established independent battalion, which was too hasty."
"Hey, Brother Guo, you have a calm temperament, so you naturally focus on stability in everything." Lieutenant General Wu shook his head. "But this time I feel that Tang Dao did the right thing. Some things can be stable, but here
This is an emergency that calls for urgency.
The Japanese army hates our army so much that they may take risks and chase after them. Most of their Tang Dao Independent Battalion are elites of our army. The more dangerous the battlefield, the more likely it is that their independent battalion will appear on that battlefield. I won’t want to go back to that time.
It's too late to break in.
The battlefield is the best training ground. The independent battalion may lose hundreds of people in this battle, but its combat effectiveness after running in will definitely be a higher level than when it first formed the army.
This long-distance march and night attack on the Japanese artillery positions looked extremely dangerous. In fact, our side took the initiative and could attack when we wanted and retreat when we wanted. On the contrary, it was much safer.
When it comes to the Tang Dao, it's as tough as a chicken thief!"
"Forget it, then I will listen to you, Commander-in-Chief. I want to see how hard Tang Dao can stab the Japanese with this opportunity of training. If he doesn't annihilate more than 200 enemies, let's see how I treat him when he comes back.
It's a crime!" Lieutenant General Guo stopped mentioning sending reinforcements. The expression on his face was very serious, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth still betrayed him.
This is a typical Chinese self-effacement, just like when a father introduces his son to outsiders, he always calls him a son of a bitch, and he even doesn't hesitate to scold himself.
Therefore, no matter how satisfied he is with Tang Dao, as the leader of an army, Comrade Lao Guo cannot smile broadly on his face. He can only keep his happiness in his heart.
As for saying that Tang Dao will be punished if he doesn't kill more than 200 enemies, isn't that the same as not saying anything!
Tang Dao had already taken down nearly a hundred people with his second company alone. At this moment, he was still chasing and fighting the remaining one hundred people. There were two infantry companies over there who were also engaged in firefights with a Japanese infantry squadron.
Well, with their equipment and combat effectiveness, if nothing unexpected happens, they can easily kill dozens more people.
The main force of the Japanese army was 4 kilometers away from Tang Dao and his fighting site. By the time they received the call for help and arrived, Tang Dao had already fled with his three infantry companies.
It can only be said that the two commanders who were chatting and laughing in the headquarters still underestimated Tang Dao.
Tang Dao did not take the half hour that Lieutenant General Guo said to annihilate the Japanese army, which was surrounded on three sides and had only one direction to escape.
In just ten minutes, most of the Japanese troops were wiped out.
Originally, no matter how disadvantaged the Japanese army was, if Tang Dao did not dare to pay a large number of casualties, they might eventually be defeated, but there was no problem in persisting for another half hour and forty minutes.
But Tang Dao used a trick that the Chinese ancestors were tired of playing, surrounding three buildings.
Grenades and light and heavy machine guns were assembled on three sides at the same time to suppress the Japanese army. The infantry crawled close to more than 40 meters and threw grenades wildly, causing the Japanese army to scream in agony, but they did not launch a charge as the Japanese army hoped.
It’s not that there are people in the Japanese army who understand. They also played this trick under Songjiang City. They attacked from three sides, leaving only a gap that seemed to be able to escape. They waited for the Chinese defenders in the city to be unable to hold on and seize the way through the gap.
After escaping, they no longer have to contend with solid fortifications and can easily kill the Chinese soldiers who have fled into the wilderness and have no fighting spirit.
To put it bluntly, this tactic is a psychological battle.
Even if you know that abandoning the current position and escaping through the gap may lead to death, human beings always take chances, what if they can?
If you stay on the battlefield, you will die sooner or later, but if you escape, even if your chances of survival are slim, there is still some hope.
Under the critical attack of two consecutive rounds of grenades, some in the Japanese army finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose to leave their original fighting positions and move towards the gap.
The battle line continued to collapse until a Japanese soldier jumped up and bravely rushed into the darkness. The fighting spirit of the remaining Japanese soldiers was completely gone.
More and more Japanese soldiers no longer ignored the shouts of the sergeant and squad leader, dragging their guns and fleeing towards the gap.
As for whether you will be severely punished by military discipline if you return alive, you have to be alive first to qualify. This is the simplest truth.
The dozen or so Japanese troops still standing strong on the position could no longer pose any threat to the hundreds of Chinese infantrymen who were getting closer and closer.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" the sound of the charge horn sounded again.
