Chapter 1248 Despair
"These Eighth Route Army did not retreat directly after turning around, but turned to other directions to continue attacking forward!" The lieutenant hesitated.
Fujino raised his eyebrows and reacted: "Bageya Road, the purpose of this Eighth Route Army is not to attack, but to cut off its flesh!"
"Split some troops from us and concentrate their forces to kill the troops they divided!"
The lieutenant suddenly reacted: "Sir, if this happens, at least one of our infantry brigades has been divided by them!"
"Let them move closer to the main force immediately. Once they become lonely and have no cannons, in front of the Eighth Route Army armored forces, they can only be massacred and have no other way of life!" Lieutenant General Fujino ordered with a calm face.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Fujino had only one idea: sooner dawn, the air force came here sooner...
In a battlefield where he could not control the situation, he had no confidence at all.
At four o'clock in the morning, a news that made him extremely painful was finally told by the radio operator.
"The division commander, the two brigades in front are coming to say goodbye to the telegram. There are less than one squadron around the command center. The Eighth Route Army is killing them from all directions. They are ready to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Bang……"
Fujino suddenly clenched his fists and smashed them hard at the ammunition box beside him.
From the twitching expression on his face, it can be seen that the smash must have been very painful, but Fujino finally endured it.
Just as he was about to speak, a lieutenant with injuries rushed in and then fell directly to the ground. He must have been in serious injuries!
The two guards rushed over and helped him up. After a long time, the lieutenant endured the pain caused to him by the wound and reported: "Sir, it's over!"
"The troops divided by the Eighth Route Army's armored forces have finished. Only one squadron responds quickly and breaks out in time. Everyone else dies under their attack... It's so miserable. Many warriors were directly blown into minced meat, or crushed into meat mud by armored vehicles and tanks, and not even a complete corpse was left!"
Seeing the fearful expression on the lieutenant's face, Fujino knew that this man must have escaped from the battlefield.
The tragic tragedy on the battlefield has formed a shadow in his heart, creating fear from the bottom of his heart!
Nakamo Fujino's red face turned pale at this moment.
The heavy casualties made him feel desperate. He hesitated for a long time before answering: "In other words, with the casualties caused to us by the division of the Eighth Route Army, we lost another full infantry brigade in just a few hours!"
"It should be more than that!" The Chief of Staff did not want to interfere at this time, but as the Chief of Staff, it was necessary for him to keep the division commander rational and understand his strength. He hesitated for a long time before he answered with a stingy head.
Fujino's cold eyes suddenly shifted to him.
The Chief of Staff immediately felt a chill coming from the front. If he guessed correctly, the chill happened to be Fujino's gaze at him.
At this moment, he regretted it.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, so I can only answer in response to Fujino's eyes.
"In addition to the casualties caused to us by their armored forces, an infantry squad should be similar. However, division commander, you forgot the shelling ten minutes before the armored forces raid."
"A thousand shells hit our troops. Even if we dodge, the casualties will be less than small!"
"Judgement on low rank, the casualties should be no less than two squadrons."
Lieutenant Fujino had a calm face and didn't speak, but silence was also the best answer.
The atmosphere at the temporary command center suddenly became depressed, and everyone lowered their heads and refused to speak.
The sound of gunfire outside the command center sounded particularly clear and harsh at this moment.
When the Chief of Staff was hesitating whether to ease the atmosphere, the harsh whistle of shells spread from far to near and again to the command center.
"Architecture, a new round of artillery attacks by the Eighth Route Army has begun!"
Fujino's already pale face turned pale at this time.
In the first half of the night, he was attacked by the Eighth Route Army armored troops, losing more than 1,500 people. In the second half of the night, he was divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and lost nearly three thousand people, and the losses reached nearly 3,000 people. This means that the troops in his hands are more than 3,000.
Even if this little force reaches Taiyue, the effect it can play is very limited.
But even so, the Eighth Route Army around him still did not intend to let him go.
"Teacher Commander, the Eighth Route Army seems to have concentrated all artillery among us, with at least twenty mountain cannons, ten infantry cannons, and twenty mortars!" The artillery staff next to him analyzed!
"According to the Eighth Route Army's fighting style, at least three hundred shells will be needed in a minute!"
"Aren't they not enough bullets? Where did so many shells come from to attack us!"
Fujino has this question for a long time, and there is no need for artillery staff to remind him.
He glared at the other party and replied: "Is it meaningful to discuss these now? What I want is a solution, how can the warriors' casualties be minimized!"
The artillery officer shook his head and replied: "I am incompetent..."
"We used up our shells and there was no possibility of counterattacking, so we could only be beaten passively!"
"The only way to reduce casualties is to disperse the troops as much as possible, so that the lethality of the shells can be minimized!"
"Then why are you still standing there? You can't give orders immediately. I don't expect that before the air force comes, our troops will be killed by the Eighth Route Army!" Fujino ordered, suppressing the anger that was coming up in his stomach.
On the top of the mountain where Yan Song and Rongjun were located, they were very excited to see the Japanese at the foot of the mountain being blown away by shells.
But after the excitement, the two of them showed helpless expressions on their faces.
The casualties of the troops in the two major battles just now were too great.
Despite its absolute artillery advantage and armored vehicles cover, the Japanese are really too cruel.
After knowing that you can't survive, as long as you have one breath, you will detonate the grenade and die together with your own troops.
On the battlefield completely shrouded in the night, no matter how carefully the attacking troops searched, it was impossible to ensure that all the Japanese under their feet were killed.
Therefore, on the offensive road, there were constant explosions sounding among the attacking troops.
It was not the artillery shells shot by the Japanese, but the grenades they detonated!
During the violent explosion, the soldiers scattered around were either killed or injured, and the losses were very large, and the offensive troops were simply unable to defend themselves!
After two encirclement and annihilation battles, the casualties caused to the troops by the detonation of the Grenades were actually greater than those caused by the frontal attack, and much greater. These were what the two battalion commanders did not expect!
