Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1167 Slap yourself in the face (first update!)

"Let them break through, and the millions of catties of grain will be given to Xinyi, and the more than 2000 people in the transport team will die in vain?" the chief of staff asked back with a look of disbelief.

Fujino was very sure of the order: "Execute the order!"

After the deputy chief of staff went to give the order, he explained: "If we don't let them break through, what can we do?"

"Another infantry brigade at Songshan Pass will also be lost!"

"Look at the sand table. Xinyituan is too cunning. The Songshan Pass they chose is nearly [-] kilometers away from the two nearby checkpoints!"

"It will take at least five hours for our reinforcements to arrive. How long do you think a brigade of imperial troops at Songshan Pass can last without losing all their artillery? Five hours, three hours, or two hours Can’t even persist? Don’t forget that the Xinyi Regiment is attacking them front and back, and is equipped with a large number of artillery. Our fortifications, telegrams, and artillery towers are completely vulnerable to mountain artillery!”

The chief of staff finally came to his senses: "You are right, commander of the division, the Songshan Pass will definitely not hold!"

"Since we know that Songshan Pass cannot be defended, there is no need for the imperial army to continue to die there!"

"However, we managed to surround them with great difficulty. We were about to close the net, and now we have to release them by ourselves. It's really embarrassing to watch them break through!"

Lieutenant General Fujino felt more aggrieved than anyone else. He led the whole battle by himself, and lost more than 2000 imperial troops and several million catties of food.After such a big battle, the result was that the Eighth Route Army didn't even catch a hair.

Taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down, he replied, "It's all about being aggrieved, but as commanders, we must keep calm!"

"Only if we let them break through, our loss will be minimized! Otherwise, the imperial army from the brigade at Songshan Pass will have to join in. To use the old Chinese saying, we will lose our wife and lose our army..."

The chief of staff also calmed down, and asked Fujino, "Master, should we continue tomorrow's operation?"

Fujino shook his head and replied: "The Eighth Route Army has already run away, what's the use of continuing... However, the defense here must be strengthened!"

"The food and ammunition we lost yesterday must be re-transported to us by the front army. In order to prevent the food from being robbed again, one of the three infantry brigades that rushed here yesterday was left behind, and the other two brigades returned to their respective stations!"

"At the same time, the Imperial Association Army we formed must form combat power as soon as possible. Compared with the new regiment, the imperial army's strength is still too small. Only by using the Imperial Association Army to make up for it can the imperial army draw more troops to fight against the new regiment. Go to war!"

"Finally, it is also the most important point. Although we let the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement break through, it does not mean that this battle is over. We will grit our teeth and swallow such a big loss!"

"When the Songshankou garrison retreated, they buried the dozens of landmines that were strengthened to them yesterday on the road, and used the landmines to slow down the speed of the Eighth Route Army's breakout!"

"At the same time, leave a small amount of reconnaissance troops and keep an eye on them!"

"Now it's less than four hours before dark, and with the slowness of the landmines and millions of catties of grain, the Eighth Route Army can't penetrate too far into their bases if they can only go by road!"

"After dawn, the aviation unit was dispatched immediately, and under the guidance of these reconnaissance troops, it carried out a covering bombing of the Eighth Route Army that had broken through."

"Especially those food and ammunition, we can't get it, and the Eighth Route Army can't even think about it!"

"Right now in North China, food is more precious than gold. Whoever has food can buy people's hearts and build more troops!"

"Also, the intelligence department's intelligence network in the new regiment's base area must be re-established for me to find important targets that can be bombed in the new regiment's base area, and then dispatch bombers to bomb them continuously. I can't let them continue to develop with peace of mind! "

At the Songshan Pass position, after the first round of attack was repulsed by the Japanese army, the Invalids immediately ordered the troops to launch a second round of attack.

Seeing a company rushing towards the high ground under the cover of heavy machine guns, the Rongjun immediately raised his binoculars and stared at the high ground.

He wanted to find the remaining firepower points of the Japanese army on the high ground, and then ordered the artillery to destroy these firepower points.

"The battalion commander...something is wrong. Our attacking troops have all gone up. Why is there no movement from the devils on the high ground?" The deputy battalion commander next to him reminded with a frown.

Rong Jun didn't know what the devil was up to, so he hesitated and judged: "It is likely that the heavy firepower in the devil's hand has been blown up by us, and he plans to use melee and bayonet to repel our attack!"

"Notify the attacking troops, let them be more vigilant, and retreat immediately if something goes wrong!"

"Artillery, provide artillery support to the attacking troops at any time."

"Third company, prepare for battle, and be ready to rush up to reinforce and meet the second company at any time!"

When giving the order, Rong Jun's eyes never left the highlands from the beginning to the end.

Soon, the offensive troops rushed to a position less than 50 meters away from the top of the hill, and then began to accelerate the assault, with grenades in their hands.

After rushing forward for another 20 meters, a round of grenade rain flew to the top of the mountain.

In the violent explosion, more than 100 people armed with rifles rushed towards the high ground like hungry wolves.

"Battalion Commander, the devils have retreated... not only the devils on the high ground, but all the devils in the stronghold have also retreated..."

"Retreat..." Rong Jun was confused by the news.

In his opinion, what the devil should do now is to stick to his position, block himself in the encirclement and wait for dawn.The way of active retreat should not appear on the devil at all, and I never thought about it.

However, it took only a few seconds for him to react.

"I know, if only our fourth battalion attacks, the devils will definitely defend. Now that there is an extra sixth battalion attacking back and forth, Songshan Pass will definitely not be able to hold it. Since we can't hold it, there is no need to bring in hundreds of little devils and We work hard!"

"The little devil commander is more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"

After sighing, Rong Jun's face became serious again, and he ordered: "Since the Songshan Pass has been taken, immediately take all the cars and cross the Songshan Pass to join the Sixth Battalion, and hand over the cars and all the wounded to the Sixth Battalion!"

"Also, the guard company, the third company, conduct a dragnet search of the surrounding area."

"It is not ruled out that after the main force of the devils retreat, they will leave a few secret sentries to stare at us, so that they can see through the battle that the regiment commander has worked so hard to lay out!"

"boom……"

Ten minutes later, the violent explosion of sacrifice suddenly sounded on the road and reached Rongjun's ears!

Immediately afterwards, two more similar explosions came one after another.

At first, I thought it was some kind of unexpected Rongjun, but a very bad premonition immediately popped up in my mind.

The communications soldier rushed over panting, with a touch of panic on his face, and reported: "Battalion Commander, it's a landmine. The devil planted a landmine on the road!"

"Landmines, haven't the little devils always ridiculed landmines, saying that burying landmines is not a method that soldiers should use! Now they are using it themselves, and they are not afraid of slapping themselves in the face!" Rong Jun frowned and cursed.

Cursing, scolding, Rong Jun's mind did not rest idle.

If the convoy wants to pass through the Songshan Pass, the problem of landmines must be resolved.

In addition, the devil planted landmines on the road for no reason, whether there is any other conspiracy, this also needs to be considered by yourself, otherwise, you will never know when you will get into the devil's pocket array!
