Chapter 458 The Eighth Route Army deceives people too much
The lieutenant lowered his head and did not speak. The chief of staff had to stand up and rescue him: "General, it must be that the Eighth Route Army has too strong firepower!"
"We are one kilometer away from the battlefield, but when we hear the sound of gunfire, we are sure that the Eighth Route Army that ambushed our escort troops was equipped with at least 70 light and heavy machine guns!"
"Such a powerful ambush firepower, coupled with our escort troops being caught off guard and attacked, will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Major General Yoshino couldn't believe the result, frowned and asked, "Even if the losses were heavy, it would not reach the point where they were completely lost!"
The lieutenant replied to the scalp: "Sir, the Tujiao Route Army that ambushed us is too close to us. At the beginning of the battle, it smashed seven or eight thousand grenades on our escort troops. You can imagine that so many grenades exploded together, coupled with their powerful firepower, how could it be impossible for them to lose all!"
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army. I must find them and destroy them!" Major General Yoshino's anger came out, staring at the direction of the battlefield and cursed.
The lieutenant immediately replied: "Sir, then I will notify the captain to chase and kill the Tu Eighth Route Retreat troops and destroy them!"
"Nani?" Major General Yoshino frowned and refused.
"What are you chasing? Don't you know it's night now? The Eighth Route Army has strong firepower and is equipped with heavy mortars. If there are still traps in front, then our reinforcements will also suffer heavy losses? Eighth Route!"
"Notify the escort troops! Treat the wounded, clean the battlefield, and then return to the station as soon as possible!"
"We will deal with them when dawn. As long as the attack on the arsenal is fast enough, we can force them out and have to fight us!"
With four mortar squadrons and more than 2,400 Japanese and puppet troops, less than 500 survived, and everyone was injured and almost lost their combat effectiveness.
Faced with this result, Major General Yoshino was in tears. Although he hated the Eighth Route Army that had attacked him, Major General Yoshino could only ninja first.
Otherwise, facing the elusive and well-equipped Eighth Route Army, coupled with the night of no fingers around, the army may suffer greater losses.
On the way to retreat between the Guards and Guards, Captain Zhou was already impressed by Wang Ping.
Be brave, have vision, and are good at capturing fighter opportunities. More importantly, you can still maintain your rationality in the face of victory, stop when you know what you are good, and have a view of the overall situation...
As an excellent general, Wang Ping actually possesses all these qualities and abilities that he needs as a regiment-level cadre.
As soon as Wang Ping joined the retreating troops with the retreating heavy mortar troops, the Chief of Staff of the Guard Regiment rushed over with his eyes shining.
"Captain, Captain Wang, the losses have been counted!"
"The artillery was not lost. The infantry lost more than 800 people, half of which were sacrificed, and were basically caused by grenades thrown by the Japanese when they counterattacked!"
"However, we have achieved great results. Although we didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, we still know how many enemies the soldiers killed."
"About the count, there are no less than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops killed and injured by us!"
Captain Zhou's eyes also shot out two rays of light.
"Captain Wang, if you attack continuously, the Japanese will definitely suffer no less than two thousand people, or even three thousand people! Now we have eaten two thousand people, and more than a dozen heavy artillery have killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers. In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops in the garrison are less than 10,000!"
"If you have the chance to kill two or three thousand of them, the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the arsenal will lose more than half of them! If you don't want to be completely wiped out in our hinterland, you should carefully consider whether you should continue to stay here to attack our arsenal!"
"Then keep fighting! Tonight, we will fight to kill another two thousand of them!" Wang Ping said astonishingly.
"And even beat him!" Captain Zhou was stunned and asked with disbelief.
"The soldiers just finished a battle, and everyone was very tired. More importantly, the ammunition was basically consumed." Captain Zhou raised his concerns.
"Also, the Japanese were deceived and lost more than 2,000 people. Even if they were stupid, they would not make the same mistake. The Japanese reinforcements did not chase after them, we must be worried that there would be traps waiting for them in front of us, and they were afraid that they would go deeper from their base in Taiyuan, and they would not retreat after being attacked!"
Wang Ping analyzed calmly: "Just now we were pulling our teeth from the tiger's mouth, and we ambushed them under the eyes of the Japanese. This time we will not ambush, we will attack directly, and we will pull the hair on the tiger's body once!"
"How to pull it out? After the battle just now, the Japanese station must be on high alert."
"It is still the northeast corner of the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison, the base of their baggage troops!" Wang Ping continued to analyze.
"You are right. After experiencing the battle just now, the Japanese were indeed very cautious. But there is another possibility. If we continue to attack the Japanese in the same way, the Japanese will have inertial thinking. At that time, we can unexpectedly catch the Japanese off guard."
Captain Zhou hasn't figured it out yet, but he has no intention of continuing to ask.
The battle just now made him realize that he would definitely not suffer any losses when he fought with Wang Ping.
"Captain Wang, as long as the ammunition problem of the troops is solved, let the soldiers take the time to rest for two hours and eat some dry food to ensure that they can restore their combat effectiveness. As for how to fight, it is still said before, the guard regiment will obey your command!"
"I'll give you three hours of rest!" Wang Ping decided to look at his watch.
"It's early morning, we'll be operating at three o'clock. As for ammunition, I'm ready. At that time, each person will have fifty bullets and three grenades!" As the director of the arsenal, he still has the control of a small amount of weapons and ammunition. Besides, this is to protect the arsenal. Even if the ammunition is used very large, the superiors will not say much.
After several hours of noise and chaos, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed again returned to tranquility.
Because many troops were lost in the artillery attack, the baggage troops stationed in the northeast corner of the garage, the baggage troops and the guards were only a little more than two thousand left.
Major General Yoshino replied again that he would rest on the marching bed, and he wanted to accumulate energy for tomorrow's battle and take revenge on the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield.
The patrol and the police force, although very tired, did not dare to blink for a moment, staring at the forests and bushes around the station without moving.
No matter what kind of movement happens around you, there is a string of bullets coming up without any mercy.
"Wuwuwuwu...boombo..." Suddenly, the screams that made the Japanese familiar and fearful cut through the quiet night again, awakening every Japanese at the garage. Then the baggage troops stationed a violent explosion sounded.
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army dares to come over. I want to kill you!" Major General Yoshino, who had been rushing up from the camp bed, cursed loudly.
As soon as he entered the command center, he asked: "Did the 8th Route Army that sneaked into our sneak attack on our mortars on the other side of the mountain like before?"
"Hi, and in the same position!" the duty consultant answered immediately.
"The Eighth Route Army bullies people too much! I dare to use the same method twice. Is there no way to bully the Imperial Army? Bageyalu, I must destroy you this time!" Major General Yoshino felt very humiliated and cursed loudly.
