After a few minutes, the captain spoke, and analyzed with a calm face: "The garrison regiment is too cunning, and today's battle is obviously because of our plan. We certainly can't afford to make the same mistake in the future. ”

"Send a telegram to the division commander immediately, I want aircraft support, and destroy the offensive position of the Eighth Route Army after dawn, so as to prevent them from attacking us again tonight."

"Also, report our casualties and ask for backup."

"Finally, the troops are on increased alert, and no one can leave their positions without my orders, and they can't stick their heads out of the trenches."

"Especially our flanks and rear, all of them need to be on guard."

"The garrison regiment is too cunning, according to intelligence, they also have a mysterious unit with very strong combat effectiveness, and now there are battles everywhere in Datong, and the defense line around Datong is in vain, it is not ruled out that they will send a small number of elite troops over the mountains and mountains to go around the rear and flanks of the position to sneak attack us, or hide around the position and shoot us coldly."

The next night, although the captain of the Japanese army had already made preparations, he finally fell for the feints of the garrison regiment and lost more than 200 people.

More importantly, the division headquarters stationed in Datong did not send a single reinforcement over.

The captain of the brigade was in a hurry, and all the extra artillery, baggage soldiers, and machine gunners in the position were incorporated into the infantry to make up for his growing shortage of troops.

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao, was very dissatisfied with last night's attack.

Sitting at the table with a frown, his eyes studying the commando's hand-drawn defense map of the Caoziling Japanese army over and over again, hoping to find one or two breakthroughs and consume more little devils.

"Regiment commander, do you want to let the independent company and the spies be connected." Hong Linfeng proposed.

"They have made a detour back behind the Caoziling defensive line and found the Japanese artillery position."

"According to reconnaissance, in order to make up for the losses of the front-line defensive troops, the Japanese command evacuated almost all the troops that could be transferred from the artillery positions."

"Now there is only one reinforced squad of infantry and less than 300 gunners left in the artillery position, if they are allowed to participate in the battle, they can take the Japanese artillery position in half an hour at most, and then cooperate with the main force to flank the Japanese positions in front and rear, and they will definitely be able to take this place in one night."

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Their task is indeed to cooperate with the main force to make dumplings, but now is not the time." ”

"We did kill a lot of Japanese puppet troops in these two nights, but our own losses were also very large."

"More than 300 people were injured at the expense, and a large number of shells and explosives were consumed, and many of the thunder cannons, artillery, light and heavy machine guns were blown up by the little devils."

"When the general offensive is finally launched, the losses of the troops will definitely be greater."

"It's a big loss to pay such a big price to finally eliminate more than a thousand devils on Cao Ziling."

Hong Linfeng frowned and asked: "But the devils on the mountain ridge are becoming more and more cautious, and they are not fooled at all, except for using the independent company and the spy company to attack back and forth, I can't think of any other way to continue to consume a large number of their troops and attract other Japanese puppet troops to come over for reinforcements." ”

"Get the armor on!" Li Hao made a decision very decisively.

"In two nights, we must have killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers."

"As long as we kill a few hundred more people tonight, if the Japanese army wants to stop us in Caoziling, we must transfer troops from Datong to reinforce Caoziling, or dispatch the Japanese puppet army in Laiyuan, Guangling, and Weixian to flank us in front and rear."

"No matter how the Japanese army chooses, the final winner is us."

Hong Linfeng was stunned for a moment, frightened by Li Hao's decision, and then reminded in a hurry: "The head of the regiment is cautious!" ”

"After subtracting the losses outside Hunyuan City, there are only three tanks and three armored vehicles left in the armored company."

"The Japanese army on Cao Ziling is equipped with a large number of artillery, and now that the combat vehicles are dispatched, there will definitely be losses."

"These chariots are the treasures of our garrison regiment, and they can't be produced by themselves, and if they are lost, they will be gone."

Li Hao replied firmly: "Execute the order." ”

"Those chariots are indeed the treasures of our garrison regiment, but if they are not used in the regiment, no matter how powerful the treasure is, it is a pile of scrap metal."

"Only by going to the battlefield and giving full play to their role can they become real treasures."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if they are really destroyed on the battlefield, they have proved the value of their existence by killing devils."

"And now only the decoy of the tank company can impress the little devils, take our feint attack as the main attack, and create an opportunity for the artillery to surprise them."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the offensive began on time.

The captain of the Japanese army stood on the high ground, looking at the battlefield with the rumbling of artillery, and his expression was very serious.

"Sir, the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army have reappeared!" The vice-captain reminded.

The captain replied with a calm face: "This time we can't be fooled again no matter what." ”

"The artillery opened fire, and I stared at the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army to blow up their real purpose to see whether it was a real attack or a fake attack."

"The infantry continues to hide from the artillery raids that the garrison may fire from the artillery in the anti-artillery holes, and no one can come out in advance without my orders."

As soon as the words of "chariot ......" were finished, an exclamation sounded in his ears.

Then the captain saw a scene that frightened him, his eyes instantly widened, his mouth was open, and he had a stunned and shocked expression.

One tank and two armored vehicles, shot in a row, rushed out of the offensive position filled with gunsmoke and rushed to the mountain.

Dozens of Eighth Route Corps followed closely behind, rifles and light machine guns, using the chariots as their own cover to prevent them from being hit by stray bullets flying from the blocking positions too far away.

The battlefield was too large, and the artillery had to not only shoot, but also dodge the artillery counterattack of the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment, and the probability of hitting three combat vehicles in high-speed movement was almost zero.

In the blink of an eye, the three chariots struck more than fifty meters towards the mountain.

None of the dozens of Eighth Route Armies were left behind, still following closely behind.

"Sir, the garrison regiment has even dispatched chariots, and this time it must be a real attack." The vice-captain reacted from the shock and made his own judgment.

"It is recommended to let the troops enter the position immediately, and it will be too late if they don't come out."

"The speed of the chariots is too fast, and there are many infantry behind them, all the way is like a bamboo, light and heavy machine guns can't stop them at all, and the mountain artillery and field artillery can't catch up behind the position, so they can only let the infantry go up and destroy those chariots."

The captain felt the same way, but the opponent was too cunning, and he didn't make a decision right away, but wrinkled his brow for a final struggle, and then made a decision.

"Sir, there is a guard post behind the position that has found the activities of the Eighth Route Army." A second lieutenant rushed over to report.

The deputy captain immediately said: "Sir, the humble position is now 100% certain, this is the real attack of the garrison regiment." ”

"Chariot cover, infantry assault, and troops detour behind us to cooperate, flanking us front and rear."

"Give the order quickly, or it will be too late."

The captain no longer hesitated: "Order the troops to enter the position immediately, resolutely repel the attacking troops of the garrison regiment, and destroy the three combat vehicles." ”

"The guards are on increased alert to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on us from behind."

"Especially the artillery units, they must be the first sneak attack targets of the detour troops of the garrison regiment."
