"Chief of Staff, do you see anything?" Li Hao turned his head to Hong Linfeng and asked.

"Commander Chen's reinforcement of the first battalion given to us is too powerful." Hong Linfeng praised without hesitation.

"In the absence of equipment advantages, you can fight with devils in hand-to-hand combat. Looking at the entire garrison regiment, the commando team and the reconnaissance company can do this. ”

"If several of the main battalions of our garrison regiment can reach this level, coupled with the excellent equipment of the garrison regiment and sufficient ammunition, the overall combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 30%."

"It seems that we have the right choice to return to the base from Commander Chen." Li Hao showed an expression of approval.

"Not only did it leave most of the baggage ammunition to reduce the burden and combat pressure on the troops to return to the base area, but also let us see the strong combat effectiveness of the old Eighth Road, and know that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the people."

Speaking of this, a very bold idea popped up directly in Li Hao's mind.

Dig up some cadres who are good at fighting tough battles from Commander Chen back to the garrison regiment, let them serve as the backbone of the army, train the troops, and train the garrison regiment into an elite that cannot be defeated or delayed.

As the old saying goes, even if you see the shortcomings of the garrison regiment here and learn the training methods, and use the same methods to train the troops when you go back, you can only learn a superficial one.

Those cadres of the garrison regiment are used to living a good life, and they can't learn the essence of this at all.

Only cadres who have grown up step by step in such an environment can train a truly elite force in the same way.

Of course, that's all for later.

Everything will have to wait until the battle is over, and it will not be considered until the battle is won.

The large number of automatic pistols equipped by the mobile battalion became the last straw that overwhelmed the little devils.

Pistols, a battalion is not weaker than the little devil's bayonet formation, cooperate with each other, and harvest the lives of the little devils on the battlefield.

Three infantry squadrons attacked, but in less than ten minutes they were broken into a squadron, and finally withdrew from the battlefield in disarray.

The wing commander had arrived at the offensive position a few minutes earlier, and the attacking troops had returned from the battlefield in disarray.

When the smoke of gunfire on the battlefield cleared, the six tanks and armored vehicles that had been lying on their stomachs stopped motionless on their positions, apparently without any damage on the surface.

Nearly 500 corpses of soldiers fell to the ground in various postures, most of them were their own people, and only a small part were the Eighth Route Army.

As for weapons and ammunition, many of them were hastily brought back to their positions by the retreating Eighth Route Army.

"Eight Tooth Road!"

The co-captain clenched his fists, his muscles exposed, and his eyes were red as if they could breathe fire.

Staring at the battlefield, he ordered: "The artillery brigade concentrates all its artillery to attack Tiger Ridge, and I will blow up all the Eighth Route Army above and raze all positions to the ground." ”

"The second infantry brigade, the first battalion of the Imperial Army, prepare for the attack."

"Tank squadrons cover, although the Eighth Route Army is armed with anti-aircraft machine guns, can penetrate armor at close range. But as long as we get too close, our tanks will not be in danger. ”

"All tanks come to a stop after attacking a hundred meters in front of the formation, acting as a fixed fire point to provide fire cover for the attacking troops."

"This time, we must take Tiger Ridge and catch up with the Eighth Route Army that is moving into the mountains."

"Otherwise, all the officers above the squadron leader level of the attacking force will be cut off and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."

Now that he is one step away from victory, he can eat it in his mouth if he tries harder.

This is a battle feat, and if he can win it, he will be promoted to the commander of the major general brigade in the future.

Therefore, the co-captain will never allow this piece of fat to slip out of his mouth.

On the mountain ridge two kilometers away, every move of the Japanese army was watched by Commander Chen.

After glancing at the time, not only was he not nervous, but he showed a relaxed expression.

Li Hao has been guarding Tiger Ridge for almost an hour, and the battlefield is so big, not surprisingly, the roundabout troops are almost in place.

As long as the general offensive starts, the little devils in the encirclement will become grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for long.

"Chief, a regiment reports that they are in motion......" a cavalry communicator came running over and reported.

As soon as the front foot left, another cavalry messenger rushed over from behind the mountain: "Report to the chief, the second regiment, the third regiment, all enter the attack position. ”

The chief of staff immediately said: "Commander, do you want to start attacking now?" ”

"The little devil under the mountain is about to launch a third attack on Tiger Ridge, it must be even more fierce than the offensive just now, I'm afraid that Comrade Li Hao won't be able to hold on."

Commander Chen shook his head and denied: "No, we will fight after the third attack of the little devil begins." ”

"Li Hao has three battalions in his hands, obviously only two battalions were used just now, and one battalion is in reserve and has not moved, so it must be no problem to hold Tiger Ridge."

"The little devil also has two infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and a regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, totaling more than 4,000 people."

"If we attack now, they will definitely report to the regiment and wait for reinforcements, and the siege and annihilation battle will become a tough battle, which will not be good for us."

"After the devil's third attack begins, if we attack generally, they will be divided into two parts by us, and each will be broken, so that it will be beneficial to us."

"Order: The three heavy mortar companies are all aimed at the Japanese assembly area, and immediately open fire as soon as the counteroffensive begins, first fire five minutes of rapid fire, and then use platoons as units to cover the operations of the main battalions."

"Woo woo woo ......"

Twelve mountain artillery pieces and six infantry guns opened fire at the same time, and a total of eighteen shells flew towards Tiger Ridge with a piercing scream.

In the rumbling cannon, more than a dozen black pillars of smoke, dirt, logs, and soldiers hiding in the trenches quickly rose from the Laohuling blocking position, which were blown up into the sky along with the splashing firelight, and finally smashed everywhere like scattered flowers.

Soon, the position was shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, and he couldn't see his fingers.

"Regiment commander, the little devil looks up to us too much, and at least assembled an artillery brigade to attack us." A solemnity flashed on Hong Linfeng's face.

"Time is limited, we don't have time to build anti-artillery holes, the artillery fire of the little devils is so fierce, the troops on the position must have suffered heavy casualties."

"It would be nice if it was in the base area, the heavy artillery battalion only needs to dispatch two companies, and four or five rounds of salvo fire can reimburse the little devil artillery brigade, see how arrogant they are."

Li Hao didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered with a serious face: "Let the guard battalion be ready for battle." ”

"As soon as the shelling stops, immediately enter the position, or use the method of hand-to-hand combat to repel the attack of the little devils."

"It's been more than an hour since the battle began, and the time for the counterattack we agreed with Commander Chen is approaching, so there is no need for the reserves to continue to stay, and strive to eat all the little devil attacking troops in this battle."

The artillery brigade fought for ten minutes before stopping, and before Li Hao could catch his breath, two mortar squadrons joined the battle again.

The number of artillery pieces is greater and the rate of fire is faster.

Shells rained down, enveloping the position in smoke once again.

"Commander, the little devil has begun to attack, and the chariot seems to have moved." Hong Linfeng vaguely heard the roar of tanks through the sound of artillery.

By the time the shelling was over, the smoke had cleared, and six tanks and armored vehicles had stopped a hundred meters in front of the formation.

The Devil's attacking force was rushing towards Tiger Ridge with a roar like a flood from a burst embankment, like a flood from a burst embankment.

"Boom, boom...... Dadada......"

Vehicle-mounted artillery, vehicle-mounted machine guns, began to roar, and fired past the attacking troops towards the ridges, providing fire cover for the attacking troops.

"Regiment commander, the firing distance is too long, and the anti-aircraft machine gun cannot penetrate the protective armor of the tank." Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Then fight the infantry." Li Hao made a decision immediately.

"Without infantry protection, those tanks and armored vehicles are our live targets, and sooner or later they will be killed."

"Order the second company of the air defense battalion to wait for the devil attack troops to rush to fifty meters in front of the formation and shoot at a crowded place."

"Hit for half a minute with the fastest rate of fire, and then retreat."

"The reaction speed of tank guns is faster than that of ordinary artillery, and if you don't retreat within half a minute, you will definitely be targeted by them, and you won't be able to withdraw if you want to."
