Chapter 726: The Devil Doesn't Want to Give Up (First Update!) )
Scolding and scolding, the problem still has to be solved!
Seeing that the communications staff officer lowered his head and did not speak, he could only take the telegram and order helplessly!
"You continue to guard the radio, and the call to the attacking troops cannot be stopped, and any news will be reported as soon as possible!"
"I'll go see the commander now and report this in person!"
After saying that, the chief of staff rushed to the war room next to him!
The commander, as usual, in the event of a war, no matter how big or small, will stay in front of the sand table!
The operational staff will mark the battlefield situation on the sand table as soon as possible, so that the commander can learn the latest battle situation at the first time, and then make a judgment and issue an order!
"Sir, something has happened to the attacking troops!" The chief of staff rushed in and reported with a solemn face!
The commander's first reaction was the same as that of the chief of staff, although shocked, but not shocked!
The strength of the attack force is very strong, and the strength of the Eighth Route Army left in Laiyuan cannot threaten their safety at all!
Even if it is attacked, it is a small-scale sneak attack, a small episode in the whole battle, nothing to worry about!
The chief of staff saw at a glance what the commander was thinking, knew that he had misunderstood, and regarded the incident he was going to report as a small accident!
He immediately explained: "They were ambushed by an unknown enemy on the way to Gongqiao Village, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and they are organizing troops to break through the siege......"
"The signal suddenly disappeared halfway through the telegram, and no matter how we contacted the call, they didn't get any response!"
"So we only received this half of the telegram asking for help, and we only knew that they were ambushed, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and we didn't even know who the enemy was, how many troops there were, and what firepower configuration!"
"Nani?" The commander is blinded!
No longer unfazed, a pair of eyes stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Are you sure that the telegram was sent back by our attacking troops?" ”
"As far as I know, in addition to the Eighth Route Army that is killing Gongqiao Village, there are no other Eighth Route Army troops, and there are no other anti-Japanese forces, how can the attacking troops suddenly encounter an ambush, and they also suffer heavy casualties, directly to the point of breaking through!"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know what I do!" ”
"There is so little content in the telegram that there is almost nothing to refer to!"
"And we haven't been in touch with them since the signal was cut off, so there's definitely something wrong with their radio station!"
"It must be so!" The commander was silent for a moment and replied!
In fact, the moment he gave this answer, another possibility appeared in his mind!
The attacking troops have already encountered an accident on the ambush battlefield!
But as soon as this idea appeared, he rejected it!
The strength of the attacking force is very strong, even if the enemy sends one regiment, or even two regiments, it is impossible to kill them in such a short time!
Of course, the commander did not dare to think about this possibility!
The attack force is all the mobile troops that Laiyuan City can dispatch, if something happens to them, then the advantage of the imperial army in Laiyuan City will be gone!
When the time comes, he can only be a shrinking turtle and trapped in Laiyuan City!
As for attacking like this, giving the Eighth Route Army two mantis cicadas and yellow finches behind, consuming their vitality, I definitely don't dare to think about it!
Intellectually and psychologically, they believe that the possibility of an accident in the army does not exist, so only the possibility mentioned by the chief of staff remains!
However, the commander also understands that on the rapidly changing battlefield, no matter how thoughtful he is, accidents may occur!
In order to put himself at ease, he had to find a way to determine what he had just judged!
The telegram could not contact the attacking troops, and the first thing that came to the commander's mind was the intelligence staff officer!
"Call the captain of the border city immediately, there is an urgent military situation here that needs his intelligence support, the sooner the better!" The commander decisively ordered!
After waiting for less than two minutes, the captain of the border city rushed in, his face full of irrepressible excitement.
After receiving the order to see the commander, he subconsciously thought that the battle was going well, and the commander wanted to commend himself!
But soon he realized something was wrong!
The war room not only did not have a relaxed atmosphere after winning the battle, but was very dignified!
"Something's wrong!"
As the head of the intelligence department, the captain of the border city has a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people, and these three words subconsciously pop up in his mind!
The excited expression on his face quickly disappeared, and he ran directly to the commander and reported very seriously: "Sir, I am ordered to report!" ”
"Take a look at this telegram first, and then tell me what you think!" The commander didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the half-telegram he had just received!
The content is very short, only a few dozen words, and the captain of the border city read it at a glance, and then he exclaimed with disbelief on his face!
"This can't be, the telegram must be fake!"
"There is no enemy in Laiyuan who can threaten the attacking troops at all!"
"Even if the attacking troops are attacked, it is a small force sent by the garrison regiment in order to ensure that they take Gongqiao Village, harassing the marching speed of the slow attacking troops, and buying time for their main force to take Gongqiao Village!"
The chief of staff immediately asked: "Is it possible that the troops sent by the Eighth Route Army in the past two days!" ”
"It can't be!" The captain of the border city answered in the affirmative!
"Laiyuan's territory is full of Chinese who work for the imperial army, and with them staring at it all the time, Laiyuan's every move can't escape the eyes of the lowly position!"
"Even if the other party only dispatches one company, it is impossible to enter Laiyuan City quietly!"
"Not to mention the large forces of enemies that can threaten the attacking troops!"
The commander stared at the captain of the border city and asked, "Border city king, your answer is related to the life safety of more than 800 imperial troops, I hope you will think about it again, and then give me an affirmative answer!" ”
The captain of the border city believed in the intelligence network he had set up single-handedly, and also believed in the local snake controlled by his own intelligence network, and replied in the affirmative: "I guarantee that no enemy has entered the territory of Laiyuan in the past few days, especially a large number of enemies, it is even more impossible!" ”
"Yo Xi ......"
The commander's heart suddenly relaxed!
With this guarantee, the possibility that the attacking troops encountered accidents on the march was completely denied!
Since there were no other units of the Eighth Route Army involved in this battle, the attacking troops must have encountered a small force of blocking troops sent by the garrison!
Although it is not clear how these blocking forces caused the attacking troops to suffer heavy casualties, why the attacking troops sent such a telegram for help, what really happened on the battlefield?
But there is one thing that the commander and the chief of staff can be sure of: with the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan, even if the attacking troops are severely damaged by conspiracy and trickery, it is impossible to eat them!
The chief of staff also thought of this, followed with a long breath, and then proposed: "Sir, I suggest that you immediately contact the aviation forces and ask them to send planes to reinforce the battlefield and see what is going on there?" ”
The commander didn't answer directly, stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically!
"How long does it take from the time we send a telegram to the aviation to the time the plane takes off and the time the plane arrives over the battlefield!"
The chief of staff thought for a moment and replied: "If the aviation is prepared, the plane will take off immediately after receiving the telegram, and it will take twenty minutes!" ”
"If you're not prepared, it will take thirty minutes!"
The commander continued: "If we send cavalry directly over, how long will it take to get to the battlefield!" ”
The chief of staff stared at the sand table and analyzed: "If the attacking troops march normally, the battlefield should be between fifteen and twenty kilometers away from the county seat, and it will take thirty to forty minutes for the cavalry to march to the battlefield in a hurry!" ”
"Then send the cavalry directly!" The commander made a decisive decision!
"The planes are moving too much, as soon as they are dispatched, the Eighth Route Army that is killing Gongqiao Village will definitely retract!"
"And the reinforcement effect of aircraft on the battlefield is not great!"
"Especially in skirmishes, if a bomb is dropped, it will blow up even our own people!"
"Cavalry is different!"
"Battlefield assault, reinforcements, anything!"
"If the attacking force is really surrounded by the enemy, the cavalry can surprise from the periphery of the battlefield!"
"You can also cooperate with the attacking troops, directly kill Gongqiao Village, and assault the Eighth Route Army there!"
Despite the fact that the attacking troops were ambushed and it was likely that something would happen, the commander still did not want to give up the great exploits of the entire Eighth Route Army in the territory!
This is the real reason why he sent cavalry to reinforce the battlefield!
On the ambush battlefield, Li Hao didn't know that an explosive bag smashed into the right place at the right time, and he actually brought himself a fighter plane to his mouth!
At this moment, the Flying Thunder Cannon has already thrown out all three explosive packets!
Mortar shelling also stopped!
The battlefield, which stretches for more than 500 meters, is full of huge craters more than one meter deep!
The corpses of the little devils around the crater are lying on the ground in various postures, motionless!
There were also a lot of corpses that were directly blown into minced meat.
Shattered internal organs, stumps and broken arms, blood...... Heavenly Maidens scatter flowers all over the battlefield!
"Tick ......"
The loud trumpet suddenly sounded and reached Liu Senyun's ears!
He was equipped with a telescope that allowed him to clearly see the situation on the battlefield, and then he was scared!
Although I was prepared in my heart, I also thought about the possible tragedy of the battlefield!
But it's another thing to actually see!
I am already a veteran, I have seen countless devil corpses on the battlefield, and I have been on the battlefield many times, at this moment, facing the picture in front of me, I still have a feeling of nausea and vomiting!
The battlefield is so tragic that if you really want to find one word to describe it, only the four words hell on earth are the most appropriate!
At this time, the sound of the charging horn woke him up from the blindfold, and the task given to him by the regiment commander suddenly appeared in his mind!
Holding back the feeling of wanting to vomit in his heart, he shouted as he got up from the ground: "Comrades, the little devils are done playing, they all rush with me, solve the remnants of the enemy, and quickly end the battle!" ”
"The little devil plane is coming, we must end the battle before the plane comes, clean up the battlefield, and then retreat!"
After speaking, Liu Senyun rushed to the battlefield, like a leopard, the faster he rushed!
