"Commander, the poisonous gas has not dissipated yet, please be careful." The guard platoon leader handed a water-soaked handkerchief to the division commander.
Teacher Dai took the handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and without saying anything else, he headed directly to the southwest of Tonggu City.
Arriving at the defensive position in the southwest of the city, the pungent smell of poisonous gas became even stronger. Entering the command post, the commander of the 1139th Regiment immediately led all the officers and soldiers in the command post to salute the division commander.
"Commander, why are you here? The smell of the gas bombs hasn't dissipated yet." Captain Xu was very concerned about the safety of the division commander.
"The casualties of your regiment." Commander Dai didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Reporting to the division commander, one battalion suffered more than half of its casualties, and the casualties of other battalions were not very large. There is no problem in defending the city." Commander Xu replied affirmatively.
"No problem? You said there is no problem?" Commander Dai walked to the lookout mirror and looked at the Japanese army in the distance. "Tanks and armored vehicles from both regiments have come over and will focus on attacking your position. The Japanese army wants to
If we break through here, we have to enter the city."
"Commander, we are at the position." Commander Xu replied firmly.
"The men are in position." The brothers present shouted in unison.
"Well, good job. However, the Japanese aircraft and artillery bombarded them like this, and they could still hide and the casualties were barely controllable. The Japanese army had not had such a large-scale tank and armored vehicle attack before, and they were still able to hold their positions without paying a huge price.
But this time, the Japanese army is desperate and desperate to enter the city. What should we do?" Commander Dai stared into everyone's eyes.
"Come on, is there anything else to discuss?" said a staff officer.
"Of course we have to fight, but we can avoid its sharp edge and reduce casualties. We can't hold on for two weeks without using our brains." Commander Dai paced in the narrow command post with his hands behind his back.
"Commander, you mean we let the Japanese in and then fight?" Commander Xu approached the commander and asked.
"There are too few American bazookas. To deal with tanks and armored vehicles, we can only use cluster grenades." Commander Dai said helplessly and sadly.
"Commander, you know how many Japanese tanks we destroyed with grenades during the bloody battle at Taierzhuang. During the Kunlun Pass, the Japanese also suffered losses from our grenades. Don't worry. When Japanese tanks and armored vehicles passed through the trenches,
, is the best moment to blow it up." Captain Xu was full of confidence.
Teacher Dai turned his back, waved his hand and said, "I know, it's just..."
Commander Dai did not say the rest of the words, but everyone knew that every time a tank was blown up, at least three to five soldiers would be sacrificed. The equipment was inferior to humans, so there was no other way but to fight with human lives.
"Commander Xu, I leave this to you. Open a gap to let the Japanese troops in. You must blow up the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles as much as possible. You must wipe out a large number of Japanese troops in street fighting." Commander Dai ordered.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission." Commander Xu saluted and accepted the order.
"Make sure to complete the mission!" the officers and soldiers in the command post shouted in unison.
"I'm leaving." Commander Dai returned the military salute, turned around and left the command post.
Twenty minutes later, Commander Dai appeared again at the command post of the Southeast 1140th Regiment in Tonggucheng. However, Commander Dai's order to the 1140th Regiment was not to let the Japanese into the city, but to hold on tightly and never let the Japanese soldiers die.
A car enters the city.
On the way back to the division headquarters, the Japanese artillery began to bomb again, and a new round of Japanese attack was about to begin.
Commander Dai turned around and observed with his telescope, then returned to the division headquarters.
Hu Biao gathered all the brothers he could. After the brothers stood in line, Hu Biao began to lecture: "Comrades, let's talk."
At this time, Yang Ying put on her helmet and held a Springfield sniper rifle in her hand. She ran over and reported: "Report to Deputy Captain Hu that Yang Ying, a member of the reconnaissance team, has applied to join the battle."
Hu Biao took a look at Yang Ying's equipment, hesitated, and said: "Approved to join the battle and join the queue."
