Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 843 The Commander Goes Crazy (Third!)

The fortification group prepared by Wang Ping for the devils has a total of four lines of defense!

From two o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon, the first three lines of defense were taken down, and two air support was needed in the middle!

"General, the Air Force reports that it is getting dark very early. From now until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they will not be able to send the air force to support us!" The chief of staff reported frowning.

Not making any progress for an entire afternoon, this is definitely a shame for Major General Kawaguchi who has been invincible in the frontal battlefield.

Major General Kawaguchi did not know how many times he got angry, so that all the subordinates around him did not dare to say a word, fearing that if he said a wrong sentence, Major General Kawaguchi's anger would be vented on himself.

"Bageyalu, I never thought that the Eighth Route Army's will to resist would be so strong. If other troops were defending the position, they would have collapsed under the fierce attack of the imperial army!" Major General Kawaguchi replied angrily.

The chief of staff comforted: "General, the Eighth Route Army is not afraid of death just like our imperial army. In terms of fighting will, it is no worse than the imperial army. In addition, our opponent Xinyi regiment is more cunning and has built a strong position. Moreover, a large number of artillery fortifications that can withstand aerial bombs have been arranged!"

"With these bunkers, many advantages of the imperial army have been weakened."

"In this case, the imperial army can only fight head-on with the enemy, consume the opponent's strength little by little, and then win the position!"

"From my point of view, we can take down the three lines of defense of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and one forward position in one afternoon, which is already very good!"

Major General Kawaguchi looked much better, but the anger in his heart still surged up.

After finally suppressing it with a deep breath, he stared at the battlefield and ordered: "The whole fortification group still has a line of defense, which must be the strongest line of defense of the Eighth Route Army. After all, if we cross this line of defense, we will enter their base!"

"General, what do you mean, the last line of defense in this fortification group in front of you must be the most difficult to fight!" The chief of staff asked back, frowning.

"Not bad!" Major General Kawaguchi affirmed.

"The line of defense is the most difficult to fight, and we don't have aviation support. After dark, our firepower advantage will be greatly weakened, so it will be even more difficult to take down this line of defense!"

"Order, the troops stop attacking and turn to defense. Leave an infantry brigade on the front line and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army to defend the three lines of defense we took down in the afternoon. Other troops, camp outside the fortification group, and we will continue to attack tomorrow!"

At the former enemy headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment, as soon as the Japanese offensive stopped, the three battalion commanders gathered.

Of the three of them, each of them had a very ugly face, lowered their heads, and said nothing.

Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, and the Rongjun of the fourth battalion, even had wounds on their bodies, and the dark red blood had already soaked from the gauze, dyeing the uniform red.

"All report their casualties!" Wang Ping asked, breaking the heavy atmosphere of the headquarters.

"Let me tell you first..." Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan was the first to stand up.

"I brought two companies and the troops directly under the battalion headquarters. There are a total of 158 people. Now there are 52 people who can continue to fight. The remaining [-] people were seriously injured. All others died, directly losing half of the troops!"

"The third battalion also had 400 people participating in the battle. Now there are still 142 people who can continue to fight. The remaining 69 people lost their combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries. All others died, directly losing half of the troops!" Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, reported immediately after .

The face of the Fourth Battalion's Rongjun is much better. Among the three lines of defense captured by the devils, the third line of defense he defended was the most violent attack by the devils. Not only did he have to suffer from the mountain artillery bombardment, but he also suffered two full rounds from the little devil's air force bombing.

However, because many soldiers of the Fourth Battalion had been on the frontal battlefield and knew how to avoid shelling and bombing, the casualties of the Fourth Battalion were much less.

"Regimental Commander, the casualties of the Fourth Battalion were slightly smaller...but 145 people were sacrificed, and 45 people lost combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries. Of the more than 400 people I brought, there are still more than 200 people who can continue to fight!"

"Pa..." Just as Rong Jun finished speaking, there was a slamming sound at the door.

The commander held the armed belt in his hand, slammed it on the sleeper at the entrance of the command department, and then rushed in angrily.

Seeing Wang Ping, he scolded: "Wang Ping, you have won a few battles, so your tail is up to the sky, and you dare to fight the devil!"

"I heard it all just now. Three battalions lost 600 people in one afternoon. How many people in your new regiment can withstand such a loss!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you are now the head of the regiment, I really want to shoot you right now!"

The deputy chief of staff also came in at this time, and said with a dissatisfied face.

"Wang Ping, the casualties of the troops are indeed a bit heavy... If you use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to deal with the little devils, the casualties will definitely not be so heavy!"

"I understand you. You never suffer in war. You just want to take advantage. Explain to us right away why you chose to fight the devils here in a positional battle where we have no advantage. If you can't explain clearly, I'm sure, your commander Although it is impossible to shoot you, it will definitely remove your post!"

Seeing the commander and the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters appearing in his former enemy headquarters together, Wang Ping was stunned for a long time without reacting.

Because he couldn't think of the reason why the two of them appeared here together.

"Commander, chief, why did you come here!"

Seeing the political commissar who then walked in, he immediately asked: "Political commissar, the commander and the chief came together, why didn't you send me a telegram. Now the Japanese and puppet troops are attacking heavily, and there are little devils and spies everywhere. The chief is here with us." What should I do if something happens!"

The deputy chief of staff immediately interrupted: "Wang Ping, don't change the topic. Don't worry about why we came here. We didn't let you be notified by Political Commissar Huang. Now you and I, Commander Chen, want to know why you came here. Fighting a positional battle with the devils caused so many casualties!"

Wang Ping did not explain, but replied with a confident face: "Please rest assured, the two chiefs. I, Wang Ping, always fight devils. I always take advantage of the advantages and not the disadvantages. This time is the same."

"If the two chiefs want to know why I chose to fight the devils, you can choose to listen to our next combat meeting here, and you will know when the time comes."

"Okay, let's listen here!" Before the deputy chief of staff could speak, Commander Chen, who was still holding back his anger, sat on a stool next to him.

The arrival of the commander and the deputy chief of staff made the atmosphere in the headquarters quite tense, especially the battalion commanders, who basically had no contact with the commanders.Now two heads suddenly appeared, and they were sitting together for a meeting, which made them both nervous and excited.

Wang Ping, who was full of confidence in himself, acted like a normal person, what to do or what to do!
After glancing at a few subordinates, he almost asked: "The army suffered a lot of losses, I admit that. But, haven't everyone discovered that the army's combat effectiveness is stronger? As long as it is a soldier who survived on the battlefield, everyone Become a well-deserved veteran."

"Yes!" Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan was the first to agree!

"More than half of my fourth company was lost. In the afternoon, they mobilized dozens of people from the captives to supplement the troops. Even before the running-in training, I can still see at a glance that the combat effectiveness of the fourth company is much stronger than before the war. After some running-in training, the combat effectiveness should be at least [-]% higher."

"Murderous intent, the troops have murderous intent!" Yan Song followed up and added.
