Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Seeing He Zhengdao pointing at the Kongjiagou sand table he made, he said calmly: "The total strength of the little devils currently trapped in Kongjiagou is probably less than 1. Now, plus the second division that arrived today , we have more than [-] troops here.

Although in terms of military strength, we have an absolute advantage.But you should all know that little devils are crazy.Especially when they know that they must die, those little devils will fight back even more frantically.

For this reason, what you commanders have to do in the battle tonight is to order the troops not to carry out fast attacks.Give me a steady push forward.Once there is a position that cannot be chewed, our artillery will be called for support.

For tonight's encirclement and annihilation battle, I have only one request, and that is that the attacking troops must minimize their losses.During this period of hard fighting, I believe you all know that the casualties of the divisions of our column were not small.

At this last battle, I do not wish to see any further serious casualties.As long as you carry out the tasks you have received, the little devil may not last until dawn.After this battle is over, our anti-encirclement and suppression campaign can be considered a complete success. "

'Yes, please rest assured, Commander, we will definitely not fight recklessly with the little devil! '

As regimental commanders of the independent column, most of them are old subordinates of He Zhengdao.They all knew that He Zhengdao was very sensitive to the number of casualties.He Zhengdao also pays more attention to the number of casualties on his side when he usually reports the situation.

If the ratio of the enemy's battle damage is too high and one's own side still has the advantage, then the officer leading the command will not only have no credit, but also have to accept severe criticism from He Zhengdao.He Zhengdao did not hesitate to deal with the mistake of greedy for meritorious deeds.

'To the east, tonight's frontal attack will be carried out by your reconnaissance brigade in cooperation with the armored regiment.As for the artillery brigade, there will be a half-hour bombardment before the attack.But our heavy artillery will not be used tonight.

I believe you all know that the heavy artillery shells we have seized are currently limited.In our arsenal, we failed to successfully imitate the shells used by heavy artillery. The shells we seized were one round less, so we should use them sparingly.

Only the mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery brigade, as well as the artillery regiments of the two main divisions, will participate in the shelling of the general offensive tonight.After the bombardment began, your reconnaissance brigade cooperated with the armored regiment and went straight to the core area of ​​the little devil.

Remember, don't advance too fast, just like the attack last night, keep going steadily.When you break through the little devil's line of defense, let the main force of the second division that cooperates with you take over and completely encircle and wipe out the battle of the remnants of the enemy.

When you attack the core area, the terrain there may not be suitable for the armored regiment to attack.At that time, you will need to carry out a hand-to-hand attack.However, artillery units will also provide support at that time.

In short, I hope that after the attack begins tonight, by daylight, we will be able to end the fighting and begin our retreat.After this battle, we believe that there will be no more major wars within this year, and you can also take a rest. '

For the reconnaissance brigade to once again take on the main offensive task, the heads of the main teams participating in the meeting were naturally a little envious.But they also knew that in terms of combat effectiveness, their main regiments were indeed inferior to the main regiments of the reconnaissance brigade.

'Yes, Commander!Scouting brigade, guaranteed to complete the mission! '

'good!It is now five minutes past six, and you will be given two hours for each unit to prepare.At eight o'clock tonight, the general attack begins! '

'Yes! '

As the main regiment leaders and division commanders who participated in the meeting left the headquarters, He Zhengdao looked at Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff who was resting for an afternoon, and said with a smile: "Old Wang, after this battle, we can go back to Yulin too. Sister-in-law Is it about to give birth?"

As a veteran of the Red Army and the chief of staff of the independent column, Wang Tianlin, with the help of Xiao Jinguang, also found a peasant girl in Yulin to marry.Although the wedding was simple, Wang Tianlin also felt very happy.

Thinking of being rescued from the enemy camp by He Zhengdao at the beginning, and now being the chief of staff of the major general of the independent column, Wang Tianlin knew very well that without He Zhengdao, maybe he would not have everything he is now.For this, he was naturally grateful.

When it comes to his wife and the upcoming child, Wang Tianlin rarely blushes but smiles and said: "Well, it's about to be born soon! However, I asked the political commissar via telegram last time, it seems that the child should not be born yet!"

'Okay, after this battle is over, I will let the car regiment take you back first.When my sister-in-law gave birth, if you were not around, I would feel worried to some extent.Not being able to watch the birth of a child is also a regret of being a father.

It hasn't been born yet, so your child is probably waiting for you, my father, to come back before coming out!When the baby is born, you can treat us to a good meal! '

'It should be!However, there is no need to go back early, right? '

'Why is it unnecessary?This is the most important thing in life, how can it be delayed.Besides, after this battle is over, the rest is the matter of post-war reconstruction.What does it matter if you take a break for a while?That `s a deal! '

'Yes, thank you Commander! '

The longer he gets along with He Zhengdao, the more Wang Tianlin can feel the mature side of He Zhengdao that does not match his age.At least when it comes to commanding operations, many division commanders and regiment leaders of the independent columns will involuntarily forget He Zhengdao's real age.

The independent column can have the current scale, the young commander can be said to have worked hard.This record of consecutive victories has also made He Zhengdao the most popular anti-Japanese general among the generals of the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese Anti-Japanese War! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The remnant of the No.12 Division, who originally planned to break out in the afternoon, soon lost the idea of ​​breaking out after seeing the heavy rain that fell in the afternoon.In this weather, how far can they go on only two legs?

Most importantly, there was no air to cover them from above.How could the Eighth Route Army, who were watching them outside, let them leave happily?After some consideration, Hitomi Hidezo once again ordered tomorrow to decide whether to break through.

The little devil, who had rested for a long time, seemed to have recovered a lot.In addition, they don't have to worry about the lack of food for the time being. After eating a full meal, these little devils are also not idle in the afternoon, constantly strengthening the defensive positions in the core area.

Anyone who is not stupid knows that the Eighth Route Army is bound to attack them again tonight.If you don't hurry up and strengthen their fortifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to see the rising sun again the next day.

Even after some consideration, Hitomi Xiusan summoned his regiment captain, pointed to the defensive area outside the barracks and said, "Retreat all the guards on the two front lines of defense, and all these troops will retreat to the positions in front of the camp to start defense.

Presumably tonight, the Eighth Route Army should dispatch their tanks and armor.Taking advantage of the fact that the Eighth Route Army has not yet launched an offensive, we need to strengthen the defensive positions at the front of our position and dig more anti-tank trenches. I hope we can hold on for a longer time.

If the Eighth Route Army launches another attack tonight, their attack will definitely be more violent than yesterday.The troops on the two front lines of defense will withdraw in the evening, and don't alert the Eighth Route Army who are watching us in advance.

The rest of the troops were all put into the task of building fortifications.Even if we may all die here in the end, I also hope that before we die in battle, we can kill and injure a large number of the attacking Eighth Route Army, so as to show our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. "

'Hi! '

Under the order of Hidezo Hitomi, the Japanese army, who rested for half a day, devoted themselves to excavating fortifications and bunkers.For many Japanese soldiers, tonight was a very difficult night, and the stronger the fortifications, the safer they would be.

They all experienced the scene of the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery shelling yesterday.Even if they don't have the materials to build solid bunkers and potholes, they still hope to build more anti-bunker holes to avoid the impact of small-caliber artillery.

As for the temporary headquarters of the wounded battalion and the division, they have been moved to dead ends.With the help of the terrain there, it can still effectively avoid the heavy artillery attacks of the Eighth Route Army.The mistake of last night, I think they will not repeat it.

The Japanese army digging fortifications and bunkers in the rain also felt a little unlucky as the weather gradually darkened and the rain gradually weakened.After all, if it is rainy, it will also increase the difficulty of attacking troops.

Looking at it now, God seems to favor the Eighth Route Army.At such a critical time, God didn't even help.But even so, the Japanese troops in the forward position that received the order to retreat quickly withdrew to the rear position.

The Eighth Route Army observation post, who had been staring at the little devil's forward position, immediately said in surprise: "Look, the little devil seems to have retreated back? At this time, they retreated back, what is their intention?"

'Don't worry about it so much, report the situation quickly!It's so late, it's impossible for the little devil to break through at night, right?Looking at it like this, it is estimated that they want to shrink the line of defense and fight a protracted war with us!If this is the case, the battle will be difficult to fight at night. '

As the forward observation post reported the news, He Zhengdao, who was eating at the headquarters, seemed somewhat surprised to hear this situation.After thinking about it, he felt that the little devil should be shrinking his troops to prepare for the battle.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Let the reconnaissance brigade send a few reconnaissance teams to infiltrate the little devil's forward position. See where the little devil has withdrawn their defense line."

'Yes, Commander! '

Now that the little devil has already made some moves, He Zhengdao naturally needs to make some timely responses.For the little devils to shrink their troops to defend, He Zhengdao could see that there might not be many Japanese soldiers surviving in Kongjiagou.

If it wasn't for the problem of troop strength, the little devil wouldn't have to give up the outer blocking positions.After all, it would take some time for the Eighth Route Army to capture these blocking positions!

If the little devils have enough troops, they can completely block the Eighth Route Army's attack with the help of the blocking defense line established on the periphery.Instead of suddenly withdrawing the troops they deployed on the front line like now.

Along with the squad of the reconnaissance brigade, they began to launch a tentative attack on the little devil's forward position.The reconnaissance team that arrived at the front line searched carefully, and found that all the little devils on the front line had indeed withdrawn.

'Nothing!The little devil walked very calmly, taking all the supplies and ammunition away! '

'Okay, continue to reconnaissance to the second-line position.Our task is to see where the little devil has retreated.Find out the defense layout of the little devil, and provide intelligence support for the follow-up troops to attack. '

'Yes, captain! '

A group of members of the reconnaissance team sent two members to send a message to the rear, informing the little devil that he had abandoned the outer frontline positions.Knowing this situation, He Zhengdao immediately dispatched offensive troops to take over these positions.

Since the little devils are going to retreat, they don't need to hide anything.The little devil wants to shrink the line of defense, so the independent column shrinks their line of defense.Kongjiagou is only that big, and if the little devil retreats, he will always fall into a situation where he has nowhere to retreat.

When they arrived at the second line, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team were somewhat surprised that the little devil's blocking force was still not found.It was only when they saw that the Japanese third line of defense looked stronger than last night's attack, they finally knew the reason.

The news was sent back to the rear headquarters, and He Zhengdao looked at the three Japanese fortifications marked on the sand table.Pointing to the third fortification, he said: "It seems that the little devil lost more than we expected last night, and he has been unable to send troops to garrison the two outer positions.
