Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 231 Ono's Little Thoughts (Third)

After the order was issued, the chief of staff asked in confusion: "General, as long as we destroy the last point of firepower on the ground, the Eighth Route Army will have no chance of stopping our attack. Would it be worth the loss if we let the troops retreat at this time!"

Ono was in a good mood and patiently explained: "No, Chief of Staff, even if we destroy this firepower point, the remaining offensive troops on the battlefield will not be able to break through this line of defense."

"Don't forget, there are still many Eighth Route Army troops on the ground. And the machine guns we attacked with the team were knocked out by the Eighth Route Army. If we continue to attack at this time, it will be a struggle with the Eighth Route Army!"

A sudden realization flashed across the chief of staff's face.

"The general is right. The offensive troops of our first and second echelons were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army first and then took the opportunity to counterattack and eliminate all the machine gunners."

"The same mistake must not be made a third time, it's because you are thoughtful, General!"

Ono nodded affirmatively, "Yoxi, that's what it means!"

"Now the Eighth Route Army on the ground has no permanent firepower to rely on. As long as we launch an offensive again and equip the offensive troops with a sufficient number of machine guns and grenades, we will definitely be able to break through the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army in one attack!"

The sudden retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops made the third company commander who was ready for a deadly battle feel caught off guard.

But his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately issued an order: "Everyone is there, enter the defense hole, the little devil is about to bombard!"

After the 5-minute shelling ended, no matter how many people the Japanese army deployed to launch the attack this time, they immediately led the more than 200 people who were still alive in the position and quickly withdrew from the position.

"Report to the head of the brigade, the Eighth Route Army on the ground has retreated, we have not encountered any resistance, and successfully occupied the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army!" Not long after, a second lieutenant officer rushed to Xiao Yenian to report the good news.

In less than an hour, and with the loss of only two infantry squads, the imperial army took the third line of defense of the independent regiment.

In addition to being happy, more than a dozen officers, big and small, looked at Ono with admiration.

Among them, the chief of staff was the happiest, and after thinking about it, he suggested to Ono.

"General, there is still an hour before dark. I think we should take advantage of the victory and pursue, and make persistent efforts to take down the fourth line of defense of the Independence Regiment in one fell swoop!"

Major General Ono was also very moved, but he still refused after hesitation.

"Don't forget that we still need air force reinforcements. It takes half an hour for the bombers to take off here, and another half hour to go back. They can't fly at night. One hour is not enough for them to provide us with any air support!"

"Since we already have a way to deal with the independent regiment's defense line and the dark fort, then we don't need to worry, and the warriors need to rest after fighting for a day!"

"Also, this is the site of the Independent Regiment. They are familiar with the terrain. At night, they will definitely attack us with guerrilla warfare that they are good at. Therefore, we also need time to choose a suitable garrison to prepare for night attacks and counterattacks by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Then stop the attack!" The chief of staff replied very straightforwardly.

Then he changed the subject and added: "However, General, we still have to be prepared for the Eighth Route Army to launch a counterattack against us at night and regain the third line of defense we just won!"

"The battle just now has proved that in the face of the powerful imperial army, even the Eighth Route Army with machine gun bunkers cannot stop our attack."

"But it's different at night. We don't have air support, and the counterattack speed of the artillery fire will be much slower than during the day. Only at this time, the gap between us and the Eighth Route Army will be narrowed to the minimum, and the Eighth Route Army will turn defeat into victory when facing us." Chance."

"So I am sure that the Eighth Route Army will definitely not miss this opportunity!"

"Although I don't know how the Eighth Route Army will use this night. But in order to prevent accidents, we must take all circumstances into consideration, including the Eighth Route Army taking the opportunity to counterattack the third line of defense we just took down."

"Yo Xi! The chief of staff's reminder is very reasonable!" Ono replied with a serious face.

Then I raised the binoculars and re-observed the Eighth Route Army position I just took down!

Soon, the high ground on the top of the mountain behind the position was followed by Ono, and a smile flashed across his face.

Then, without waiting for the chief of staff to speak, he gave an order directly: "Chief of staff, have you seen the high ground behind the position? There are high mountains and dense forests, which are very suitable for Tibetan soldiers. You deploy two infantry squadrons, one heavy machine gun squadron, and one mortar squadron." The Artillery Squadron, plus a battalion of the Royal Association Army, will go there after dark, and set up a position centered on the top of the mountain. We must be prepared for defense, and we must also be ready to attack at any time!"

"In addition, another battalion of the Imperial Association Army, an infantry squad of the Imperial Army, and a heavy machine gun squad will be stationed in the third line of defense we just occupied, and then a defensive position will be established near the Eighth Route Army to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking the third line at night. Line of defense!"

"Old traitor!" These were the words that popped out of the chief of staff's mind.

Then he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The head of the brigade is worthy of being the head of the brigade. Whenever there is a chance, he will never forget to count his opponents."

But he said flatteringly: "The general is wise. As long as you occupy the high ground on the top of the mountain, the third line of defense can ensure no worries. In addition, you only put 400 people on the defense line. It must be to lure the Eighth Route Army to attack the third line. At that time, no matter how many people they come, as long as our troops hidden on the top of the mountain attack, the Eighth Route Army will be completely wiped out under the attack of the imperial army."

Ono enjoyed this kind of compliment very much, but he still ordered: "Okay, go and give the order right away, time is running out!"

"Also, in order to ensure the safety of the garrison at night, let the warriors have a good night's rest, recharge their energy, and fight to the Independence Regiment garrison tomorrow. Our garrison tonight must be far away from the Eighth Route Army's position, so that the artillery on their position cannot hit them. station!"

"I remember that there was an open space between the first and second lines of defense that we captured. The terrain was flat and high, and it was big enough. If we set up the garrison there, as long as the security forces were arranged, there would definitely be no problem in terms of safety. .”

The safety of the camp at night directly affects whether the troops can normally attack the next line of defense of the independent regiment tomorrow.

The complimenting smile on the chief of staff's face disappeared immediately, and then he replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, general, the humble post will be arranged!"

The atmosphere at the former enemy headquarters of the Independence Regiment was very dignified. Everyone was sullen and silent, immersed in the just-concluded battle.

With three companies and three machine gun bunkers, facing the Japanese army who changed their attack methods, they didn't even hold on for an hour.

This is not counted, the casualties of the Japanese army are full of two infantry squads.

Although more than two companies of the Imperial Association Army died, in the eyes of the few people in the headquarters, there is no comparison between the Imperial Association Army and the devils.No matter how many people died on the battlefield, as long as the devil is willing, he can make up for it at any time after the battle.

If the devils in the next few lines of defense also use the same method to attack, then the last three lines of defense in the hands of the independent regiment will not even be able to hold on until noon tomorrow, and they will all be broken through!

Faced with this result, everyone had a very bad premonition about the next battle of the independent regiment!Even started to worry.
