But regardless of whether what this guy said was human language or not, Chen Zhiping knew one thing. This guy was really messing around, but he really didn't care about anything. If at this juncture, he was trying to stir up some trouble, then The matter is serious. There are only so many people left in the army now. If all these numbers are used up, they will have to be cancelled.
Looking at Chen Zhiping's hurried away figure, Wang Deyao shook his head and said nothing. He had already said what he should have said, and he had not said anything else. The words had already been said. If these two people really knew If you are ashamed but then act bravely, you should also know what to do.
Now for Wang Deyao, what he is already thinking about is how to get out of the battlefield. The gunfire here has been ringing for such a long time, and the Japanese troops in other directions will definitely notice the difference between bomb explosions and artillery shell explosions. The Japanese troops are still It is possible to tell the difference, and the gunfire that heralds the ground battle has been ringing for such a long time. The Japanese army over there would be a fool if they did not notice the abnormality here.
I have been delayed here for too long, and the main force of the Seventh Division has not responded. Although the main force of the Seventh Division is still being bombed, relying on the advantage of its large number of troops, it is on its retreat route. I set a trap for myself, hoping to eliminate most of the defenders of Alhorqin Banner in one fell swoop.
Although it is somewhat impossible to mobilize the strength of a regiment, after all, the main force of the Seventh Division has been organized into a group and is dispersed. It wants to quickly assemble the strength of a regiment under a large-scale air attack in a short period of time. , is not that easy.
Unlike the 28th Regiment, which has not been targeted as a key target, the 26th and 27th Regiments over there have always been the targets of key attacks. In this case, whether it is Kunizaki Nobaka The general would like to take advantage of this opportunity again, but it is still very difficult to assemble enough troops during the fierce night bombing, and it will cost a lot.
I am afraid that the current Lieutenant General Kunizaki Noboru is not willing to pay this price unless he is sure to gather his troops without being discovered by the planes in the sky. But at least for now, the aviation force will not give him this opportunity. The Japanese troops on the center line Above his head, the continuously falling flares had already killed all his hopes.
Although it is unlikely to dispatch a large force, it is not difficult for Noboru Kunizaki to dispatch one or two infantry brigades. Moreover, the smaller the number of troops dispatched by the Japanese army, the easier it will be to avoid aerial bombings. According to the actual situation of his current troops It seems that if the Japanese army comes with one or two more infantry brigades, even if they do not set up an ambush but attack by force, it will be difficult for them to resist.
Especially when the melee lasted for such a long time, the ammunition consumption was very large, and the casualties of the troops were not light, it was even more disadvantageous for me. The majority of my troops were new recruits. Although they had completed full training, they had not been tested in actual combat. , have not yet truly learned battlefield survivability, especially how to control the use of ammunition on the battlefield.
Wang Deyao saw with his own eyes the gathered troops. The bullet belts on most of the soldiers were half deflated, and even the ammunition pouches on the chests of some submachine gunners were empty. In other words, these soldiers had lost their strength in the previous melee. , destroyed most of the ammunition carried.
As for the number of grenades consumed, it is even more shocking. Most of the grenade bags on the soldiers are already empty. Even if there is stock, most of them only have one left. Looking at the few ammunition on the soldiers, Now Wang Deyao is a little lucky, thanks to the fact that his troops are still equipped with manual rifles.
If, like the old army, they were all equipped with automatic rifles from top to bottom, even if the automatic rifle could only fire three bursts, I am afraid that for most of the soldiers, the ammunition bags on their bodies would have become as much a decoration as their grenade bags. , automatic rifles are indeed very powerful, one can almost catch up with a light machine gun.
But the consumption of ammunition is also very fast. If his troops are equipped with all automatic rifles, these new soldiers who are on the battlefield for the first time may not be able to get a few bullets out of their bodies. Of course, Wang Deyao also knows this clearly. , my own mistakes in judgment are also one of the reasons why the troops are currently short of ammunition.
Originally, I just wanted to fight a sneak attack. Even with the light and heavy machine guns with spare ammunition, because of the tactical intention, I only carried 1,000 rounds of spare ammunition for the heavy machine gun and 300 rounds of spare ammunition for the light machine gun, as well as rifle bullets, submachine gun bullets and grenades. I didn't bring any spares at all.
Because he never thought that this night attack battle that he had planned to fight quickly would turn out like this, nor did he consider that a soldier's hundred rounds of portable ammunition and four grenades would be used in just two days. Half of it was consumed within an hour.
Thinking about it now, it was my own mistake in judgment. I knew that there were many new recruits in the army, but I chose to attack at night. Coupled with the previous chaotic battle, the new recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time were either excited or scared. It would be weird not to shoot as hard as you can to embolden yourself when you get the chance.
Or he didn't know how to save ammunition, and when he encountered the enemy, he only focused on shooting to eliminate more enemies. In addition, in order to reduce casualties, he was forbidden to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. In less than two and a half hours, he carried ammunition to fight. Halfway out, I'm afraid cadres at all levels have already handled it effectively.
There is no spare ammunition carried at all. The eight-millimeter ammunition and 77-caliber ammunition used in light and heavy machine guns cannot be used with 79-caliber rifles. Once the ammunition of these rifles and submachine guns carried is exhausted, I am afraid that it is basically impossible to replenish it now. Too possible.
And judging from the performance of the troops in tonight's melee, coupled with the exhaustion after the melee, Wang Deyao is very worried that once he retreats and encounters an ambush by the Japanese army, the troops are likely to fall into chaos again. , then it is simply wishful thinking to want to assemble again, or to assemble under the condition of an ambush.
How can I choose a safe retreat path? I must consider it now. I must not take any more risks at the moment. I must fight steadily to ensure the safe evacuation of the troops participating in the war. Now it has become my most crucial issue, and it has even exceeded , encirclement and annihilation of the besieged Japanese army.
Thinking of the series of things that happened tonight, Wang Deyao could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Now he occasionally asked himself in his heart whether he really made the wrong decision in this night battle. But for a character like his, There was nothing in the world that he would regret, even the occasional uncertainty was only for a moment.
However, he knew that the ammunition fired tonight would have a 1% hit rate. It would be very rare for a hundred shots to be able to hit one or two people. He could only hope that this battle would end. No matter how many people are left in the troops he brought out, these new recruits will mature as soon as possible.
Whether the new soldiers in the army can truly mature through this battle, for Wang Deyao now, that is a matter of the future. He now knows best the route he came from, and for the sake of the safety of the army, he must not take it again. , the route must be re-selected to ensure that the troops can be brought back safely.
What gave him a little headache was that it didn't matter which way the infantry chose. If it really didn't work, they could choose to go through the gap between the two Japanese armies. But what should he do with the artillery that Qiu Jintang mobilized for him? Originally, according to the plan, these artillery would be deployed today. Later, it was necessary to shrink to the Kundu front line, but in order to cooperate with its own operations, all these artillery units stayed behind.
The 122 rocket launchers are relatively easy to say. They are all carried by cars and move quickly. But what about the two 155 heavy howitzers and the field artillery battery? I can't give the order to blow up all these guns. If that were the case, he wouldn't have to settle accounts with his superiors, even Qiu Jintang would have to kill him.
As an old comrade in arms, Wang Deyao knew that this guy valued artillery as much as his life. As the deputy chief of staff of the artillery, after every battle, he would go around the entire battlefield to collect his own battle-damaged or battle-damaged artillery abandoned by the Japanese army. Every part, every part He won't miss a single cannonball.
Even if it is a cannon whose barrel is blown away, as long as the other parts have value that can be used, he will collect them. If he knows that he will be equipped with strengthened cannons and blow them up in order to safely evacuate, he will definitely cooperate with them. Those artillery pieces, especially large-caliber artillery pieces and one-two-two rocket launchers, are like lifeblood in his eyes.
The current situation is that there are only a few roads in the entire Aruhorqin Banner. It is very convenient for the Japanese army to rely on roads to set up ambushes, and the current situation of the army really cannot withstand another toss, but these cumbersome heavy artillery and field artillery , and the artillery shells they carried, but they couldn't deviate from the road.
The field artillery that can be disassembled and lighter can be said to be more serious. The worst case is dismantling it and changing the original traction horses into pack horses. As long as you don't climb mountains and don't take the road, but even if those heavy cannons are dismantled, there will be nothing but Except for a few parts, it cannot be moved by horses.
These two 1917-style howitzers made in France are powerful and have a long range, but the weight of these three and a half tons is too heavy. Now we must not only ensure the safety of bringing these artillery units back, but also ensure the safe retreat of the troops. , is undoubtedly a problem that gives Wang Deyao an extremely headache.
Just as Wang Deyao was carefully observing the battle situation and constantly calculating the time and route of evacuation in his head, a correspondent hurried over and handed a telegram to Wang Deyao: "Commander, the telegram from the Chief of Staff, I want you to sign for it immediately."
Wang Deyao was slightly shocked when he heard the telegram from Yang Jicai. With the sensitivity he had developed on the battlefield over the years, he immediately knew that Yang Jicai's previous warning had become a reality. The main force of the Seventh Division, or one of them, Change the original battle plan and make a U-turn to directly plant the flags on the left and right of Bahrain.
Wang Deyao grabbed the telegram and read it quickly at a glance. His brows furrowed more and more. After receiving the news that the 28th Regiment was attacked at night, the main force of the 7th Division not only failed to rescue the 28th Regiment, but instead They braved the firepower of heavy artillery and air strikes to launch a forcible attack on the front lines of Balaqirud and Aohan Yingzi.
The leading 27th Regiment, with the cooperation of the 1st Division of the 26th Regiment, has launched forced attacks on the two places many times. After an hour of fierce fighting, although the defensive forces held the two places with the support of heavy artillery, It was a strategic point, but due to insufficient troops it had no choice but to shrink. After a bitter battle, it had to give up the commanding heights of Zhangjiayingzi.
Although artillery fire control has been used as much as possible, this penetrated into the entire defensive zone and prevented the loss of the commanding heights between the two major points, which brought considerable trouble to the entire defensive operation. The Japanese army occupied the Zhangjiayingzi line and could Looking down at the entire Bala Chirud in depth.
