Chapter 1199 The overall situation is too bad
When he walked into the command center, he knew the battlefield situation almost exactly.
Looking at the sand table in front of him where the combat staff had marked the real situation of the battle, he frowned and analyzed.
"According to the intelligence and the report of the frontline garrison, the Eighth Route Army that confronted us did not have any mobilization, so the Eighth Route Army that attacked our reinforcements was likely a secret force that the New Regiment had not been exposed!"
"The Eighth Route Army has more than 5,000 exposed on the battlefield, and there is also a mountain artillery battalion and an armored battalion. If nothing unexpected happens, the New First Regiment has a strong cavalry battalion that has not been exposed. It must be hidden south of the battlefield, waiting for Major General Shibasaki and others to break through..."
The chief of staff immediately reacted: "Second Commander, I will send a telegram to Major General Shibazaki right away. There is an ambush force of a cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army to the south, so that they can break through from other directions!"
"No! Let's break through from the south!" Lieutenant General Fujino refused unexpectedly.
The Chief of Staff's face was instantly replaced by shock and confusion.
Fujino did not explain and directly ordered: "Execute the order and call Major General Shibazaki back. There are at least an ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army cavalry battalion in the south, but the troops still break through from the south. As long as he uses the cavalry troops in his hands, he can use the smallest casualties to break out of the Eighth Route Army's encirclement. Please ask the new cavalry battalion to chase after it!"
A few minutes later, the Chief of Staff, who was puzzled, couldn't help asking as soon as he returned to the command center.
"The division commander, the cavalry battalion of the new first regiment is not the other Eighth Route Army cavalry units we have encountered. In terms of force, it is comparable to the two cavalry battalions of the other Eighth Route Army!"
"Our cavalry brigade has only half of their strength!"
"Even if the cavalry brigade is dispatched to drag the Eighth Route Army cavalry battalion, it won't take too long!"
"The cavalry battalion is too fast to chase down our breakthrough troops in the end, causing us a heavy casualty!"
Fujino shook his head and replied: "No matter how much casualties are, they are not as good as the casualties caused to us by the armored forces..."
"Whether it is a cavalry or an infantryman, if you don't get anti-tank artillery, if you encounter armored troops, you will only be chased all the way!"
"The cavalry is different. First, use the cavalry brigade to drag the new cavalry battalion to cover the troops and successfully break through. Then concentrate enough light and heavy firepower to cover the palace to block the cavalry. Major General Shibasaki can lead the remaining troops and ask the cavalry to pursue them!"
"Although the cavalry is invincible in front of the infantry, the equipment in the infantry is fatal to the cavalry, that is, the light and heavy machine gun!"
"Major General Shibasaki is the best officer in the Great Japanese Empire. He knows very well what methods to use to deal with the cavalry!"
At the front command of the new first regiment, the regiment commander Wang Ping kept holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield, judging the situation by the firelight and gunfire on the battlefield.
"No, the Japanese are going to break through!" Wang Ping's face changed and shouted.
Then he ordered: "Contact the cavalry battalion and prepare for raiding the Japanese. They do not require them to kill many Japanese, but they must hold them back and slow their breakthrough!"
"Three armored companies will immediately start chasing and intercepting the Japanese who are breaking through and retreating!"
"Commander, I just observed it carefully. The three regiments of the direct brigade have focused on the Japanese divided by the encirclement and suppression armored battalion. This is not enough. It is not the time to reap the results!"
"When the pursuit battle is over, the armored assault battalion will come back, plus dozens of mountain cannons, no matter how many Japanese are, we will not be enough to kill us!"
"So, the most important thing now is not to kill the Japanese, but to rob them and leave more Japanese on the battlefield!"
Commander Chen also saw the every move of his subordinates on the battlefield and felt a very regretful idea.
Under the night, the three armored companies in the new group were seen very clearly because of their strong firepower and headlights.
The three armored assault companies were completely unstoppable, and they kept striking forward and continued to attack, without any intention of stopping.
The divided Japanese soldiers, depending on the number of troops, only left a force of varying forces to a battalion to surround them. They did not attack, but just dragged them here with powerful firepower to prevent them from breaking through!
The three regiments of the direct brigade saw a squadron of Japanese soldiers being divided and left the troops of a main battalion to siege them. It was like a homeless man who had been hungry for a long time, opening his mouth and trying to swallow them in one bite.
They continued to attack and divide the remaining Japanese devils, but they didn't expect that they would only eat the Japanese devils in front of them!
"The overall view of these people is still a bit bad. I will give them an order now. Beating the dog in the water is so bad. Such a good opportunity must not be let go!" Commander Chen frowned and replied.
In less than five minutes, a radio operator rushed over with the communications service.
"Chief, the commander of the Fourth Battalion Rong was urgently sent. At least two brigades of Japanese soldiers rushed towards their defense and had already fought with their peripheral troops..."
"I must have come to pick up this mixed brigade!" Wang Ping judged.
Then he asked: "Is this a telegram from the Envoy to ask for help or a report to inform the enemy's situation!"
"Notice the enemy's situation!" The communications soldier replied immediately.
"That means that the vacant army can withstand the attack of the Japanese. It seems that he has not been idle during this period. He must have built a lot of positions on the path the Japanese must pass, otherwise he would not be so confident!"
"Call him back immediately: "Before dawn, I don't care what method he uses, kill the most Japanese with the smallest casualties, and I can't let them go deep into our base. After dawn, let them come in!"
"Also, we ordered local troops to evacuate the villages along the highway overnight and clear the fields to prevent the Japanese who have no place to vent their fire after dawn!"
On the battlefield, the commander of the first regiment of the direct brigade was commanding the troops to siege more than 600 Japanese devils divided by the armored company.
After two rounds of attack, the Japanese were directly reduced to 400 people. The regiment commander must have given him two more hours to completely kill them.
"Captain, the remaining heavy machine guns of the Japanese were killed by the cannon company. Give me another chance. I will definitely lead the first battalion into their circular fortifications!" The battalion commander of the first battalion shone with his eyes and asked for battle.
"Captain, you can't be biased... I used to give all good tasks to the first battalion. This time, I can't let the first battalion eat alone. Our first battalion has not killed so many Japanese devils at once. No matter what, the second battalion has to get a share!" The second battalion commander added unwilling to fall behind.
Just when the regiment commander looked embarrassed, the guards beside Commander Chen rushed over.
"Captain Li, commander!"
"Leave a battalion and heavy machine gun company to surround the remaining Japanese, and surround them without attacking them. The other troops immediately catch up with the new armored troops and intercept the Japanese who are breaking through and retreating!"
Commander Li immediately replied: "Go back and tell the commander, the first regiment will come out now!"
"The heavy machine gun company, the third battalion stayed, and the Japanese surrounding me, no one soldier could let them escape... Others, follow me to catch up with the new armored troops!"
