Chapter 634: Major General Noda's Response (First Update!) )
Outside the coal mine, Hong Linfeng looked anxious, as if he was waiting for something!
"Boom, boom...... Dadada......"
As soon as the gunshots rang out two kilometers away, the anxious look on his face was gone!
Huang Sheng next to him reacted even more, and shouted directly with excitement: "Chief of Staff, the regiment commander's side has already started, it must be the devil reinforcements who have already drilled into our pocket formation!" Can we step up our offensive and take the coal mines! ”
"Wait two more minutes!" Hong Linfeng also had a smile on his face, and then he began to give orders!
"The mountain artillery moved forward, and after two minutes, the cannon was loaded with bayonets, and the remaining fire points of the coal mine were directly called one by one with the mountain artillery, and they were completely destroyed!"
"Yes, Chief of Staff!"
"Boom ......"
Two mountain guns opened fire at the same time, and the stone wall blocking the garrison was instantly blown up and turned into a pile of ruins!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Explosions kept sounding in the stronghold, and the mountain artillery blew up the mortars and continued to bomb!
Soon, dozens of puffs of black smoke rose from the devil's stronghold, and more than a dozen firepower points were also blown up silently!
"Blow the trumpet, machine gun cover, and start the attack!" The third battalion commander Huang Sheng shouted and ordered!
At the Japanese headquarters in the mine, the captain squadron leader was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and scolded while walking back and forth in the headquarters!
"Haven't the reinforcements come yet? What are they doing to eat, they have been stopped two kilometers away for so long and can't rush over, they must not want the troops to suffer too many casualties, and they deliberately drag it out and don't fight hard! I'm going to contact the headquarters and find His Excellency the General to sue them! ”
The deputy captain hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Sir, judging from the sound of gunfire from the blocking position, the Eighth Route Army that blocked them has at least one battalion, and it is also equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the firepower is strong!" ”
"It's definitely impossible to break through the position in a short period of time!"
"It's not true that the Eighth Route Army is blocking them, it's true to eat them in one bite!"
The squadron leader was silent, and his face became whiter and paler!
With so many troops and such powerful firepower, if you let yourself command, it will not be limited to passive blocking!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the possibility of the Eighth Route Army completely annihilating reinforcements was greater, and then I was even more anxious!
"Then what are you still doing in a daze!"
"If our inference is true, the Eighth Route Army will not only take the coal mines, but also eat our reinforcements, then we will all die here! Contact the garrison headquarters immediately and report our judgment, we need more reinforcements! ”
"Hey!" The adjutant hurried to receive his orders!
But before the person moved, a second lieutenant rushed in with a wound: "Sir, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and there are mountain artillery to participate in the battle, our heavy firepower is almost lost, and it can't be stopped!" ”
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has entered the coal mine!" Another officer rushed in, wounded all over his body!
After saying this, he fell to the ground with a thud and passed out!
"Boom ......"
Two shells smashed right outside the headquarters, the shells exploded, and the stone wall blocking the outside of the headquarters collapsed with a bang, turning into a pile of ruins!
Without the stone wall obstructing the view, coupled with the continuous fire from the explosion of the cannonballs, the squadron leader has already faintly seen the figure of the Eighth Route Army!
"It's over!"
These two words quickly flashed in the squadron leader's mind, and his face became even whiter, with a look of despair!
"Boom ......"
Before anyone could react from the shock, the explosion rang out again!
This time it was directly in his ears, and then he saw a burst of white light flashing in front of his eyes, and the whole person flew up directly from the ground as if he had been hit hard, slammed into the stone wall behind him, and lost consciousness!
In order to quickly solve the problem and prevent the little devil dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry and destroying the equipment and materials that are about to belong to the garrison regiment, several gunners who operated the two mountain guns had a good time today!
In the mining area, as long as there are houses that can hide people, they will destroy them all!
The headquarters where the devil squadron leader stayed was their last target for shelling!
With the leader of the devil squadron buried in the rubble, the gunfire on the battlefield began to slowly weaken, and the whole offensive battle also came to an end!
At the Japanese Garrison Headquarters in Datong, the communications staff officer walked in front of Major General Noda with a solemn face!
"General, our contact with the coal mine was cut off five minutes ago!"
"The radio station can't contact them, and judging from the humble position, the coal mine has been captured by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Smack!"
Major General Noda slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were red, as if he could breathe fire!
His worst fears have happened!
At this time, a picture of his back was already floating in his mind!
More than 2,000 absentees joined the Eighth Route Army, picked up the weapons and ammunition captured by the imperial army on the battlefield and attacked the imperial army in turn, and there were constantly tragic pictures of the imperial army being killed!
It is certain that once this kind of picture becomes a reality, the military balance in the Datong region will be broken, and the imperial army will no longer have the advantage of troops, nor will it hold the initiative on the entire battlefield, but will suffer heavy casualties in the endless offensive of the Eighth Route Army, and finally have to give up a large number of occupied areas and retreat to Datong!
After the Eighth Route Army occupies those occupied areas, it will definitely develop into base areas, and use these new base areas to continue to expand its strength!
The strength of the Imperial Army in Datong will become weaker and weaker, while the Eighth Route Army will become stronger and stronger!
The more Rear Admiral Noda thought about it, the more desperate he became, and his face became more and more pale!
"Sir, something has happened to the reinforcements!" Another staff officer rushed in!
"The two reinforced squadrons of the front-line reinforcement coal mine were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army two kilometers away from the coal mine, more than 400 imperial troops were wiped out, and 25 vehicles transporting the imperial army were also destroyed!"
"Touching ......"
This time Rear Admiral Noda did not smash the table, but sat down in his seat with a slump!
This bad news can definitely be called worse for him!
After a long time, he regained his spirits, and ordered with a serious face: "Order all the garrisons in Datong to strengthen their vigilance from now on to prevent the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army from taking the opportunity to attack us!" ”
"Without an order, no unit can take the initiative to provoke the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army!"
"Coupled with the losses just now, the total strength of the imperial army in Datong has reached the point of serious insufficiency, there are no mobile troops, and no matter where the forward position is broken, we have no troops to reinforce!"
"At that time, there will be a situation where the front-line positions will collapse on all fronts!"
"We must not allow this kind of thing to happen, so in the next period of time, we must hold back, properly handle the provocations of the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, and never trigger a large-scale battle!"
"I will immediately report to Shangfeng the casualties of our Datong garrison during this period of time, and ask for reinforcements!"
In the mine, which has been bombed into ruins, the gunfire has completely stopped!
When Li Hao rushed over, the troops were cleaning up the battlefield!
Compared with ordinary small and medium-sized coal mines, this large coal mine with a garrison in front of you is not only larger in scale, but also rich in various materials hoarded inside!
"Commander, we're rich!" As soon as Hong Linfeng saw Li Hao, he exclaimed excitedly!
"The devil also built a small arsenal in the mine, in which there are nearly 100,000 rounds of various bullets alone!"
"Recently, the equipment and ammunition we have captured are all from the little devil combat troops, and they have used some of them themselves, and there is not much ammunition that ends up in our hands!"
"Now that we have these 100,000 rounds of ammunition to replenish the troops, our combat potential will definitely be re-upgraded, and it will definitely be no problem to fight two battles!"
"There is also food: there are more than 500 little devils in the mine, they only eat fine grains and do not eat coarse grains, and they have stored rations for nearly a month, so we have seized 30,000 catties of fine grains in the coal mine, including rice and white flour!"
"There are more coarse grains, almost 100,000 catties!"
"There is also Dayang, a few traitors captured in the coal mine confessed: because the outside is not peaceful during this time, the Datong garrison is insufficient, and the devil has not transported the mine for almost a month, last month's income plus this month's sporadic income, as well as the interests that the devil originally deducted, are all in the small treasury of the coal mine devil's station!"
"The ocean, the gold, and the yen, if all converted into the ocean, it will definitely be more than 100,000!"
"In addition, we also rescued 2,856 absentees and seized the equipment of all the little devils in the mining area!"
"In addition to the damaged ones, there are two heavy machine guns, one mortar, six light machine guns, and 264 rifles, which can almost form two infantry companies!"
The smile on Li Hao's face became thicker and thicker, and his eyes lit up and ordered: "Bring it back, bring all the harvest back to the secret camp, not a single bullet, not a grain of grain will be left for the little devil!" ”
"And bullet casings, collect them all and bring them back!"
"The political commissar reported that although the repair institute was transferred to the deep mountains, their research has not stopped!"
"During the anti-sweep period, they have already made bullet propellants, limited to the shortage of raw materials, although the daily output is not much, but it can already meet the needs of reloading 10,000 rounds of ammunition per day!"
"I gave an order to the commissars to support the production of reserve bullet propellants at all costs, and then expand the production of reloading bullets!"
"I'm sure that when we return to the base area and bring back all the equipment we have seized in the past few days, our output of reloaded ammunition will be at least five times great!"
"So every bullet casing on the battlefield is a treasure in the eyes of our garrison regiment!"
