Regiment commander, the third battalion took down the position! Seeing the main attack on the position, Hong Linfeng shouted excitedly.

"Let's go, go to the position! If we don't figure out how the little devils dodged our shelling, this battle won't be fought. Li Hao didn't say a word of nonsense, picked up the binoculars and rushed to the position.

Hong Linfeng followed closely behind, shouting as he rushed: "Guards, protect the regiment commander, it is too close to the second-line position of the Japanese puppet army." ”

On the position, except for one company that maintained vigilance against the second line of defense of the Japanese puppet army, the remaining two companies were cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded.

In order to take out the remaining two bunkers on the position, the main attack company lost an entire infantry platoon.

Many of the fighters in it were only seriously injured, and there was a possibility of being saved.

Of course, this is also the luck of the main attack company, the two dark bunkers are not together, and they cannot form crossfire, giving the main attack company the possibility of attacking in a roundabout way.

If the two bunkers were next to each other, both the frontal feints and the flank detour troops would all be exposed to the Japanese and pressed and beaten by them, even if they lost two infantry platoons, they would not necessarily destroy the two bunkers.

Li Hao entered the position and was taken by Huang Sheng to a dark castle that had been opened, and reported with a solemn face.

"Commander, this is the dark castle built by the little devil."

"It's completely different from the bunkers we've come across before."

"They are all built with cement, and there are a lot of steel bars in them, and the hole that has not collapsed after being blown up is so big, the little devil must have hidden in it to avoid our first round of shelling."

"I checked it, and all the bunkers on the battlefield are like this."

Just by glancing at the exposed steel bars around the hole, Li Hao understood what the problem was, and then a trace of fear flashed in his mind.

These reinforced concrete bunkers have only recently been built, and they can be destroyed by continuous fire from heavy artillery.

When they are completely dry and in the most sturdy state, it will be more difficult to destroy them with heavy artillery, and the price for the troops to take them down will be even greater.

Fortunately, he launched an attack in time to figure out this conspiracy, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss in the future.

Li Hao gasped, stared at Huang Sheng and asked, "How many corpses of Japanese puppet soldiers were found on the battlefield?" ”

"One squadron of the Japanese army, one battalion of the puppet army, more than 400 corpses." Huang Sheng replied.

Li Hao's expression became a little more solemn.

In the first battle just now, the special battalion and the third battalion alone lost nearly 300 people, and the fighting between the artillery did not stop, and they must have lost a lot of people, which means that the battle has been fought so far, and the two sides have actually reached a tie in terms of losses.

No, to be precise, the garrison was defeated, and it was a fiasco.

It took six or seven hundred rounds of heavy artillery shells to kill this Japanese puppet army, which was definitely a loss-making business.

Moreover, the attacking force of the garrison regiment was only a little more than half of the Japanese puppet army in Guanshan Town, and if the battle continued according to this casualty ratio, the Japanese puppet army had not been wiped out, and the garrison regiment was left with no one.

"Commander, how are we going to fight next?" Hong Linfeng suddenly interrupted.

"Judging from the reconnaissance before the war, there are still nine such bunkers on the second line of defense."

"And no one can guarantee that they will have it on the third line of defense."

"The Japanese puppet army brought more than 300 truckloads of supplies here, and most of them must be filled with cement and steel bars used to repair the dark fort."

"In addition, the heavy artillery battalion carried only a thousand rounds of heavy artillery shells."

"I thought it would be more than enough to take Guanshan Town, but I didn't expect to use up six or seven hundred rounds to win the first line of defense. At this rate of attrition, they don't have enough shells left for us to take a second line of defense. ”

Li Hao's expression became more and more solemn, then slowly turned gloomy, and finally made a decision with a touch of pain: "Retreat, this battle can't be fought anymore." ”

"Judging by the current situation, without two thousand heavy artillery shells, we simply can't take here."

"The attacking forces will also suffer heavy losses."

"We have limited family resources and cannot afford to fight such a war of attrition."

Hong Linfeng reminded: "Then won't it be more difficult for us to attack in the future?"

"The Japanese only built this reinforced concrete bunker, so we lost our troops and returned in vain."

"When their strongholds are all built, the troops will definitely have more reinforced concrete bunkers to deal with."

A hint of hesitation flashed on Li Hao's face, but it was quickly replaced by firmness: "Execute the order and immediately organize the troops to evacuate the battlefield." ”

"Behind the cavalry camp, if there is a Japanese puppet army that kills the stronghold, it will be killed directly."

Seeing that Hong Linfeng was still puzzled, Li Hao continued: "Chief of Staff, it is both advantageous and disadvantageous for us to retreat now. ”

"The disadvantage is what you just said, the reinforced concrete bunker in the stronghold will be built more and more, and it will become stronger and stronger, which will increase the difficulty of our attack in the future."

"But there are also benefits."

"Nearly 5,000 days of puppet army, it is impossible to stay in Guanshan Town all the time."

"They will definitely divide their forces to defend the blockade ditch and blockade wall that they have worked so hard to build, completely divide our base area, and then continue to attack the hinterland of our base area and encroach on our base area."

"In this case, the Japanese puppet army will inevitably divide its troops."

"As long as they divide their forces, we will have the opportunity to concentrate superior forces and defeat them."

"We can't take down the puppet army in Guanshan Town for nearly 5,000 days, and we can always take down the stronghold defended by an infantry squadron!"

"One squadron is killed in one operation, and four operations add up to one brigade."

"As long as there are ten battles, the little devils in the Japanese puppet army will be killed by us along the way."

"I decided to change the tactics of blocking the devils outside the base area, let the little devils enter the base area, and fight a war of attrition with them."

"Plus, there's another advantage to playing like this."

"After the Japanese puppet army entered the hinterland of our base area, food and drink could only be transported in from their rear."

"Isn't there a shortage of food for the troops? It's time to take these heavy troops to ease our food shortage. ”

"Of course, this is just an idea of mine, and we still have to study the specific battle plan."

As the chief of staff of the garrison regiment, the orders of the regiment commander were supposed to be carried out unconditionally.

Now with this explanation, Hong Linfeng was more convinced, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, I will arrange for the troops to retreat now......"

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, plus the first two good news, the good news just sent by Guanshan Town is already the third one.

The troops won three battles and three victories, and all of them were achieved in the hands of the garrison regiment, and the Japanese garrison in Shanxi had not encountered such a good thing for a long time.

From the army commander to the ordinary staff officers, all of them were smiling, immersed in the joy of the troops' victory.

"Commander, this battle further proves that our strategy for this sweep is correct."

"The garrison regiments that have inflicted heavy casualties on the imperial army on many occasions have been defeated in three consecutive battles at our hands, and they have to retreat temporarily, which shows that they are helpless against our tactics."
