Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

The staff officer also told the evidence that he had created by himself.

Chapter 580: Taking the Opportunity to Launch a Recoil

"For a long time, we have ignored the existence of these bandits, blindly thinking that they will not be a threat to us. It seems that I need to remind my superiors."

Fujiwara Kujo pretended to be deep and said that he wanted to show his importance in front of his subordinates.

As for whether his superiors will give him a chance to remind him, it's not his subordinates to worry about.

It was only from the mouth of the staff officer that he learned that the Eighth Route Army often purchased supplies through some special channels, and the bandits were likely to be the suppliers at the other end of this channel, and an idea came to him quietly.

"Your Excellency, the matter of the truck and the supply station has been investigated. Shall we report to the head of the Beiyuan Division immediately?"

Seeing that Fujiwara Kujo was not in a good mood, the staff officer made a suggestion in due course.

Raiding, trucks, and supply depots are the three sharp swords hanging over Fujiwara Kujo's head, and they are the life-threatening swords of their subordinates who are all prosperous and all damaged. It is better to remove one as soon as possible.

"Well, don't worry, I have my own arrangements. You go to take a bath first, and then come and have a few drinks with me. Today is a good day, haha!"

Fujiwara Kujo hesitated for a moment, but did not agree to the staff officer's proposal.

In his opinion, good news is like the bricks and stones of a wall. After the sweep is successfully completed, and they are brought to Beiyuan Qianye together, they will be three good news, which will be built higher and higher. It can also be exchanged for a credit.

Anyway, the raid is not over yet. If something unexpected happens during this period, these two things can also be used to save lives at critical moments, so it's better not to rush to report.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Your Excellency."

The staff officer was well aware of Fujiwara Kujo's carelessness, and he didn't expose it, so he left after a word of flattery.

The units of the Eighth Route Army who arrived at the predetermined location first, regardless of the hard work of the journey, directly began to build fortifications.

The truck of shovels seized by the cavalry company played a big role in saving time and effort in digging trenches.

After the simple fortifications were built, the first wave of chasing little devils also arrived.

The soldiers immediately put down their shovels, picked up their guns, and began to fight back.

I thought this attack would still be the same as before, the enemy first used artillery fire and then charged in groups.

But unexpectedly, the little devil just fired a few rounds of the cannon shells symbolically, and then immediately started to charge.

Little devils without heavy firepower support, in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, they are shit.

In less than 10 minutes, the little devil's first charge was repelled.

After hiding in the trench and resting for a while, the little devil's follow-up troops arrived and charged again.

There was no accident, the little devil fled in a panic after leaving a pile of corpses on the ground.

After repelling the little devil's three charges in a row, even the Eighth Route Army was surprised.

This kind of game of giving away heads for free has never been encountered before.

Did the little devil lose his head, or was there some kind of conspiracy hidden?The commanders on the front line are all puzzled.

After much thought, telegrams were sent back to the brigade headquarters.

"What kind of play is this?"

Chief of Staff Qin, who was informed of the situation on the front line, was also stunned. He put on heavy firepower and ignored it, and relied on the infantry to charge. Could it be that the little devil wanted to imitate the Eighth Route Army in fighting tough battles?

"It doesn't look like there is some conspiracy?"

Brigadier Chen was also a little confused.

If you say this is an enemy's conspiracy, you can't see the effect at all. Just letting the infantry rush forward has no meaning other than giving away the head.

"Report, the [-]st Regiment, the [-]nd Regiment, and the New First Regiment have withdrawn to the second line of defense."

The telegraph operator reported the latest news received to Brigadier Chen.

"Yes, that's right."

When Brigadier Chen heard the news, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I said, why did the little devils catch up so quickly? They must have abandoned the supply troops and pursued lightly. No wonder there was no artillery fire. Their cannons should still be there. It's halfway."

Brigadier Chen stared at the map, drawing curves on it with the pencil in his hand.

"Order the front-line troops to take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative to attack and launch a counterattack against the enemy. The distance should be controlled within fifteen kilometers. Don't love to fight, and withdraw after the fight."

Brigadier Chen kept his pencil on the map and gave the order straightforwardly.

The little devils who had been repulsed three times in a row were a little bit cowering. They couldn't figure out why the Eighth Route Army, which seemed to have retreated, still had such a strong fighting power.

Especially in hand-to-hand combat, one by one seemed desperate, holding a bayonet and rushing towards crowded places, not even dodging, just stabbing desperately, an Eighth Route Army soldier can basically exchange five or six little devils.

This way of fighting made the little devils terrified, and they didn't dare to show their faces when they hid in the positions, even for the troops who followed up to catch up. There were more and more little devils in the positions.

It's better to wait for the supply troops to catch up and carry out artillery strikes first.

The commanders of the little devil's troops all had such thoughts in their hearts.

But they didn't wait for the supply troops, but they waited for the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive sides switched identities.

"Toot, toot, toot..."

A rush of charge horns sounded, just as the little devil who was huddled in the position poked his head out of curiosity, wanting to see what happened.

I saw countless figures emerging densely in the Eighth Route Army's position opposite.

Immediately afterwards, these figures seemed to be flying on land, and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

He had been actively charging for several days, and now he was suddenly charged by the Eighth Route Army. The commander of the little devil suddenly lost his mind and didn't know whether to counterattack or defend.

In just a few seconds, the Eighth Route Army soldiers at the front had already rushed into the little devil's position.

Now there is no need for the commander to give an order, and the little devil was forced to pick up his gun and start fighting back.

The little devil who had already learned how powerful the Eighth Route Army is in hand-to-hand combat is not an opponent at all.

As more and more Eighth Route Army rushed into the position, the little devil was soon defeated.

Except for those who were already entangled by Eighth Route Army soldiers and couldn't escape, the little devils at the back of the position turned around and ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.

With this run, the momentum of the troops dissipated.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army chased after them like tigers hunting sheep.

It is a bayonet to catch up, and shoot directly at a distance.

The little devil troops who came later didn't know what was going on, they only saw their own people fleeing for their lives, so they turned their heads and ran after them.

The little devil became weaker and weaker as he fled, and the Eighth Route Army chased him more and more fiercely, chasing him for more than ten kilometers in one breath, and the corpses of the little devil were all along the way.

Some supply troops marched faster and had already entered within a range of fifteen kilometers. After seeing this situation, most of them fled together, and the few remaining who wanted to resist were easily wiped out by the vigorous Eighth Route Army soldiers.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army kept in mind the orders of their superiors, and the pursuit distance was set within [-] kilometers. If it exceeded [-] kilometers, no matter whether they could catch up or not, they all gave up pursuing and began to retreat.

As for the infantry guns that had been captured, they were too bulky and inconvenient to carry, so the soldiers stuffed two grenades into the gun chambers and blew them up.

Chapter 580 Contacting Yui Iijima

This countercharge directly reversed the situation on the battlefield.

The little devil who was chasing after him was immediately stunned. He originally wanted to smash the Eighth Route Army's defense line in one go, but he didn't expect to be hit head-on.

So much so that the little devil even suspected that the retreat of the Eighth Route Army was a deliberate illusion, the purpose was to attract them to pursue, and then ambushed here with heavy troops.

So far, a dramatic scene has appeared in the sweep initiated by the Fujiwara brigade.

As the active attacking side, the little devil's army cowered fifteen kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army's defensive position, trembling and afraid to take a step forward.

The frontline troops of the Eighth Route Army finally got time to rest after five days of continuous fighting.

At the same time, various unconfirmed telegrams were sent back to the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade in Xingxian County about the Eighth Route Army's suspicious formation and the Eighth Route Army's ambush of heavy troops.

The staff officer found out the two incidents of the missing truck and the attack on the supply station in one go, which made Fujiwara Kujo appreciate his ability very much, and specially prepared food and drinks to entertain him.

On the one hand, the superiors took care of their subordinates, and on the other hand, they also had the idea of ​​letting the staff officer direct the raid.

After all, this sweep has entered a smooth stage, and it is estimated that there will be no special difficulties in the future.

The staff officer has the ability to let him take command instead of him, so he can just spare time to go to Dragon City, find Beiyuan Qianye to contact him, and minimize the loss caused by this trouble.

The two exchanged cups, their faces flushed from drinking, and the staff officer couldn't help but feel complacent, patting his chest to promise that he would not disappoint Fujiwara Kujo's trust.

At this moment, the subordinate hurriedly sent a pack of urgent telegrams.

There was a change in the battle on the front line. The retreat of the Eighth Route Army was a fake ambush. ． ．

A telegram full of various accidents woke Fujiwara Kujo, who was already drunk, instantly sober.

If only one or two troops sent such a telegram, it could also be used as an excuse for passive combat.

But now almost all the troops have sent the same telegram, it is impossible for everyone to fight passively.

A cold sweat ran from the top of Fujiwara Kujo's head to the soles of his feet, and he realized that he was a little too happy too early.

"Your Excellency, the battle situation has developed to this point. I am afraid that the subordinate's ability is not enough to command the overall situation. Please ask your Excellency to stabilize the overall situation."

The staff officer immediately stated his position. Taking over in this situation is a mess. Unless you are full and looking for trouble, it is better to stay as far away as possible.

Fujiwara Kujo no longer cared about being angry with the staff officer. What he wanted to know most now was what happened on the front line.

"Order the troops to stop the attack, rest in place, count the losses, and report in time."

After a short period of panic, Fujiwara Kujo stabilized his mind and passed instructions to the troops.

The fighting continued for five days, and finally under the effect of this counter-charge, a temporary ceasefire was entered.

The little devil didn't know what happened, and the Eighth Route Army also didn't know why it suddenly ceased fire. All the troops sent soldiers into the forward positions to investigate.

Two hours later, Fujiwara Kujo finally got the result.

According to statistics, in this pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, there were more than 26 casualties, 31 infantry artillery, [-] mountain artillery, and more than [-] mortars were blown up.

This number, for the Fujiwara brigade, can be said to be a serious blow.

Coupled with the losses in the offensive and defensive battles in the first five days, the Fujiwara brigade lost nearly half of its combat personnel, which is equivalent to the destruction of two wings.

Fujiwara Kujo felt unacceptable to have paid such a price before achieving substantial results.

If the sweep fails, he will surely be dead, regardless of whether the truth about the missing truck and the attack on the supply station has been found out.
