Chapter 1,000: Reinforcements
"Report, the devils are starting to assemble again, and it seems that they can't hold it back."
In the unsheltered river network, there were many guerrilla scouts, and they wandered in the vicinity of the devil's troops, and they quickly reported the slightest movement of the devils to their commanders.
Because the whole area has been destroyed by the people and the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu, the paddy fields, ditches, unfathomable rivers and dangerous fields that fill the water make the devils helpless against the guerrilla scouts who wander nearby.
These scouts are experienced brothers who are always out of range of the devils, but they can see the devils from a distance.
If the devils send a small team to pursue, they can always easily escape with the help of the terrain, if the devils ignore it, then the devils will suffer.
Several times the devil soldiers were hidden and resting by these guerrilla reconnaissance brothers, and then the artillery team roared to bombard, so that the little devil suffered a lot of losses, so that the little devil kept tense nerves.
Now that the devils have regrouped and are preparing to launch a strong attack in the direction of the head of the realm, the guerrilla battalion commander Shen Biao also got the news for the first time.
"I was just beaten by us and my head was bleeding, and now I'm leaning here with a dead face, this little devil is really cheap, don't you think it?"
The successive victories made the battalion commander of the guerrillas, Shen Biao, also look relaxed, and when he heard that the devils were assembled, instead of being nervous, he made a joke.
The officers of the battalion headquarters also had no sense of nervousness, and let out laughter, and the devil was weaker than expected, which undoubtedly strengthened their confidence in victory.
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, our fortifications are not used as decorations, since the little devil is going to die, then come to die." Company Commander Zhang Hao's dark face was full of sneers.
Every brother in the guerrillas was very warlike, and although some brothers had been killed or wounded in the previous battles, compared to the brutality of the general battle, it was no different from tickling, and it inevitably bred some pride.
Shen Biao looked at the excited brothers, and did not forget to remind: "Jokes are jokes, but there is a full brigade on the opposite side of us, and before we completely eliminate them, we will give me a twelve-point spirit, and we are not allowed to underestimate the enemy!" ”
"Did you hear me clearly?!"
"Clear!" The brethren replied in unison.
"Return to your positions and get ready to fight!"
Soon, the company and platoon-level officers gathered at the battalion headquarters rushed out of their bunkers and hurriedly ran in the direction of their respective companies.
The captain of the devil brigade, Hirayama Kei, is also really anxious this time, in order to defend the honor of their brigade, they must defeat the Chinese troops in front of them before the artillery brigade arrives and capture the head of the realm.
Therefore, the captain Hirayama Kei also gave a death order to the squadron leaders under his command, that is, if he couldn't fight down, he committed suicide to apologize.
The squadron leaders summoned the squad leaders to convey the original words, and transferred the pressure from the commanders to the squad leaders.
The squad leaders also did the same, and soon, every devil soldier got an order, that is, if they couldn't beat the head of the nether realm, they would apologize.
This made every ordinary devil soldier become solemn, they had never felt that their role seemed so important.
And if they really capture the head of the boundary, I am afraid that without the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas coming to fight, the devils will have to apologize for their crimes.
"Except for bullets, rifles, and grenades, all extraneous things are left in the camp!"
This time, the devil was completely desperate, ready to leave behind all the backpacks and pack horses that affected the operation, and all the troops attacked lightly.
The devil distributed all the ammunition he carried, as well as the dry rations, and the pack horse carrying the ammunition suddenly became relaxed and let out a cheerful neighing sound.
All the devils who can fight have been replenished into the combat unit, even the men are no exception, and the wounded soldiers are responsible for staying in the camp to guard the pack horses.
Soon, several squadrons of devils were ready to go, their bayonets unsheathed and murderous.
This time, the devils no longer concentrated on attacking one point in one direction, and the entire brigade was fully deployed, preparing to storm forward at the same time at more than a dozen attack points on the two-kilometer-long defensive line.
As soon as they broke through at one point, their breakthrough troops would be able to sweep towards both flanks, quickly cooperating with friendly forces to crush the resisting Chinese officers and soldiers.
Although Shen Biao and his third battalion were fully prepared, when the observation posts at the front reported that the devils were launching an attack line on both flanks, they still underestimated the courage of the devils.
"What should I do, once the devil attacks in many places, with our strength, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to deal with such a wide defensive line." Deputy battalion commander Luo Feng was worried.
If the devils concentrate their forces to attack them, they can also concentrate their forces to block layer by layer, consume the devils' vital strength, and those field fortifications can make the devils suffer.
It's a pity that this time the devils learned to be obedient, and no longer carried out their tactics of breaking through the two wings in the center, but blooming more on the entire front.
Although the firepower of the company and platoon units of the guerrilla forces has been strengthened, there is no chance of winning a firefight with a squad of devils.
But now there are more than 10 well-equipped infantry squads under the command of a battalion of devils, so at least more than 20 company-level troops are needed to defend against it.
Shen Biao's forces in their hands would be more than enough to concentrate one point of defense, but now that they have spread out the defense all of a sudden, they will suddenly become overstretched.
At that time, it is very likely that the whole line will be broken through by the devils, and no one place will be able to hold it, which makes Shen Biao, who originally wanted to show his strength, feel angry.
If he had a division of troops in his hands now, let alone a mere devil brigade, even if he came to a wing, he would be able to gnaw it down.
But the reality is that he only has a battalion of troops in his hands, and he has no chance of winning in the face of such a full-line attack by the devils.
"Old Shen, old Shen."
Just as Shen Biao and Luo Feng, the two principal and deputy battalion commanders, were scratching their ears and cheeks because of the changes in the battlefield situation, there was a majestic shout outside.
Hearing the sound outside, Shen Biao also patted his head, he kept thinking about how his third battalion could be in the limelight and fight a beautiful battle with the devils, but he forgot that behind them stood the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
The strength of their three battalions is indeed not enough to defend such a wide defensive line, but the troops of the Northern Jiangsu Corps are now only a lot more than the devils.
"I said Lao Shen, what are you two doing hiding here, I didn't respond after calling for a long time."
The blacksmith, the commander of the first battalion wearing thick cotton clothes, crawled into the bunker and watched Shen Biao and Luo Feng make jokes.
"Brother, how did you get to the front?" Shen Biao didn't care to answer, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with the blacksmith.
The blacksmith took off his hat, looked at Shen Biao and Luo Feng who were staring at the panda eyes, and said with a smile: "You have endured this night in front, and Chief Yang asked me to bring the brothers up to rest for you." ”
After hearing the blacksmith's words, Shen Biao and Luo Feng glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
Shen Biao hurriedly pulled the blacksmith to the simple map and said: "Let's talk about the change of defense later, now the devil is about to attack, I am worried about the lack of troops at hand, you are here just in time, let's sum up, how to fight this battle to teach the devil a lesson." ”
Now that the blacksmith and their battalion have come up, there are two full battalions on this front, and the defense is more than enough, Shen Biao has already begun to think about how to hit the devil to the maximum extent and eliminate the devil's living force.
