Chapter 173: Night
The first attack failed, and the officers of the second brigade of the 15th Wing gathered in the temporary headquarters of the brigade, and the squad leader and squadron leader surrounded the brigade leader, sitting on the temporary marching chairs, chewing rice balls in their mouths and drinking boiled hot water, but many of their lovers were wounded. X
"Gentlemen, this afternoon's attack failed, fifty warriors sacrificed their lives for the empire, the opposite group of **, has been underestimated by us before, the enemy has heavy machine guns and mortars, and dare to put the imperial army very close before firing i, this kind of opponent, only the main force of the enemy's Central Army can do it, the enemy has a steel helmet produced in Germany, indicating that the enemy army is the Central Army, everyone, you must pay attention to it."
"Your Excellency Captain, in today's battle, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, how did the troops that reconnoitred before!" The squadron leader of the first squadron said angrily, with a wound on his arm, in today's daytime battle, the first squadron suffered the largest casualties, and most of the casualties were soldiers of the first squadron, the squad leader lost one, and the military Cao lost four or five.
"Okay, what we have to do now is to prepare for the second attack, after the first attack, the brigade did not organize a second attack, considering that the combat troops during the day today suffered great losses, and the understanding and understanding of the enemy in front of them must be changed immediately, and it is also dark, today, the brigade will no longer organize a large-scale attack."
"Your Excellency, what should the Captain do about it?" The adjutant beside him asked.
"Wing? The artillery shells of the wing headquarters are still enough to fight for a whole day tomorrow, and our brigade is ordered to attack, that is to say, there will be a whole day tomorrow, and today's attack is lost, and the defensive strength of the squadron on the opposite side will definitely be strengthened, and there will be no large-scale attacks today. The captain of the second brigade is right, next week the rest of the wing is around the 155th division and the 58th division to carry out a diversion attack, from the effect point of view, the two divisions are pinned down by artillery fire and infantry feints, although the position was not defeated, but the squadron did not dare to move troops on a large scale to reinforce the direction of the assault column.
The 15th Wing still has enough to finish tomorrow's day, and the baggage squadron and artillery squadron of the wing have carried a lot of ammunition, plus there are also certain reserves in the wing headquarters, and the Japanese army's mountain artillery shells are quite sufficient.
"However, at night, harassing assaults are allowed."
"Draw part of the forces from the 2nd and 3rd squadrons and harass the positions of the squadron." The captain of the 2nd Brigade stood up and looked at the 2nd and 3rd squadron leaders.
"Yes," the two squadron leaders replied in unison.
"Then, the most important thing now is to finalize tomorrow's attack, from today's battle, it is not difficult for us to judge, the enemy is the elite of the Central Army, good shooting discipline, and relatively complete heavy firearms, so, tomorrow's daytime offensive, first of all, concentrate infantry artillery, bombardment of enemy positions, large-scale bombardment, today infantry artillery only fired a few rounds, did not cause any substantial damage to the squadron, there is no mountain artillery and field artillery to provide us with fire support, then use infantry artillery, after the shelling, the attacking infantry should strengthen its strength, each squadron of the attacking chain, requires one of the squadrons not to leave a reserve squad, the whole squadron is pressed up, after the infantry artillery shelling, at least four guns should be drawn to accompany the infantry forward to shoot, covering the infantry advance. ”
"Yes!" The officers in the command shouted in unison.
On the other side, in the command post of the 155th Division, the Japanese artillery bombardment had just stopped, and the soldiers around reinforced the command center, cleaning up the corpses and wounded.
Qiu Qingquan opened his mouth first: "Chief Li, it's still that request, I don't know if we can draw out some troops to reinforce the position of our preparation battalion, the Japanese army's offensive during the day is aggressive, we told the afternoon attack, tomorrow's may not be." ”
"Brother, it's not that I don't help, the main firepower that is advancing day by day is concentrated on our side, the Japanese artillery is fierce, but your assault column is rarely shelled, I can't joke with the troops, the Japanese are fighting so fiercely, I don't dare to take it lightly, if the Japanese storm because of my division of troops, resulting in the loss of positions, I can't afford this responsibility." Li Hansoul was very helpless, out of insurance, he didn't dare to transfer troops, so he could only try his best to explain to Qiu Qingquan.
"Then if the Japanese break through our position, I don't have to bear this responsibility? Don't my brethren in the assault column have to die? Can you get out of it without taking the slightest responsibility? As soon as Li Hansoul's words fell, Qiu Qingquan, who had been holding back, finally said what was in his heart, for this violent temper, it was not easy to endure it for so long.
Li Hansoul's face suddenly darkened: "What does Captain Qiu mean, is he threatening me?" As long as you don't have my orders, don't even think about moving! ”
The two of them had nothing to say, and Li Hansoul's heart was also full of contradictions, in this situation, he would not move the troops, in case the Japanese army attacked fiercely, there was an emergency, and the reserves were insufficient, what to fight? When the position is lost, how can it fight back?
On the other hand, Qiu Qingquan's assault column had provided assistance to the 155th Division in the attack on Luowang Station, and if there were no chariots and infantry of the assault column, the 155th Division, which was not familiar with the Japanese army, did not know how much it would have to pay to take Luowang Railway Station.
Li Hansoul was originally apologetic, but Qiu Qingquan's words made him unable to get off the stage, and the threat in his words easily made him very uncomfortable. The defense and dissatisfaction with the Central Army in my heart also slowly emerged with Qiu Qingquan's words.
Qiu Qingquan is also angry, and he can't control it, but now he is begging for Li Han's soul, even if Qiu Qingquan's temper is explosive, he has to be soft now, and after relieving himself, Qiu Qingquan's body leaned slightly.
"Sir Li, I'm really embarrassed to lose my temper." After Qiu Qingquan finished speaking, the guards behind him had to be surprised that this action and this kind of words would come out of their commander's mouth.
"Chief Li, please understand, Qingquan is also out of urgency, the Japanese army's attack today is not right, the Japanese army in front of us is at least the strength of a wing, in terms of artillery fire, even more than a wing, the Japanese army with this kind of strength, if you really want to attack, will your position not be lost, most of your losses, I'm afraid most of the losses come from artillery bombardment, right?"
Qiu Qingquan dragged the combat map from the table next to him, which already showed the combat situation of the squadron, Qiu Qingquan pointed to the 155th Division in the center and the 58th Division on the right flank, and then pointed to the assault column located on the left side of the 155th Division.
"The Japanese army attacked our assault column, and was beaten back by the preparatory battalion of our assault column, thanks to the brothers fighting to the death, and our preparation battalion was properly equipped, but the Japanese army that attacked our department had a lot of troops, and it was by no means less than the attack on your department, and the Japanese army was trying to contain your department with artillery and part of the infantry attack, and then tried to break through from our assault column, and finally crushed our whole army." Qiu Qingquan said in the end,
