Chapter 219 The devil knows that we are going to fight? (2nd Update)
219
Yamane and Yoshimoto were there waiting for a telegram from their division commander, because now they didn't have enough troops at their disposal, and the two of them felt that they didn't feel any sense of security, and they needed to have more troops.
The two of them heard the staff officer say that now when the commanders of the two divisions did not send a telegram back, they were also angry, and their casualties were so great that the telegram had not yet returned.
They don't know what the hell is going on above.
At this time, Shiro Inaba and Ichiro Nanata, who were in the county town behind, discussed for a night, and they really couldn't mobilize more troops!
"Baga, or, we now order our troops to withdraw from there, I think, it might be better this way!" Nanata Ichiro thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't pull out the troops at all.
These two brigades were forcibly transferred by them before, and the result was that when the Eighth Route attacked their Japanese troops in other places, they had no reinforcements to support them at all, so there were huge casualties in various places.
Now the Eighth Road seems to know that there are no reinforcements on the devil's side, and they are fighting even harder, they are all places to impact the devil's defense, and they are still chasing and fighting, and the devils don't give up when they retreat, so they are very distressed!
"Withdrawal is not good, once withdrawn, our engineering troops who are building roads here are not safe at all, and the Eighth Road will definitely still want to destroy this railway, and once they come over, there will be even more destruction!" Shiro Inaba immediately shook his head and said.
"Then, please ask the troops of the Fourth Division to come and help, they are now guarding an empty county town, it is useless at all, it will not work at all, and a wing of troops has been put there. It's a waste, I think, let's get them to get a brigade to our side, and I think our troops will be able to hold out there! Nanata Ichiro looked at Shiro Inaba and asked.
"No, no, you don't know the troops of that division. If we get to our side, our casualties will be even greater, and the troops of this wing will not succeed enough to defeat them, and it will definitely not work to let them go over there! When Shiro Inaba heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.
He had never thought about this unit.
"Then what do you say, we are still in the preparation stage, if we continue to consume like this. The day before yesterday, our two divisions suffered more than 700 casualties, yesterday our two divisions suffered more than 1,200 casualties, and today has just begun, and more than 500 casualties have been inflicted.
You do the math, we have 2 divisions. More than 50,000 people, after a month. How many do we have left? Now our casualties are still expanding, the number of casualties is increasing every day, our two divisions, and there are many new recruits, damn it, grind like this. You don't have to wait for those 3 divisions to come, our 2 divisions will be finished first" Nanata Ichiro heard it and scolded.
During this time, the attack of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and various places were recklessly launching attacks, making them defend various points. It's all very painful.
And the Eighth Route can fight like this, mainly because now the headquarters has issued them a lot of ammunition, so the various units of the Eighth Route Army also dare to fight, attack the devil's station, and nourish the war with war, and after winning the war, they can get more materials and continue to develop the troops.
The devils are very rich here, even the defense troops of the Fourth Division in various county towns have also been attacked, and up to now, the devils have lost 4 county towns in the north, all of which are controlled by the Fourth Division, and after the Eighth Route occupied that side, it also received great supplies!
After Shiro Inaba heard Ichiro Nanata's complaint, he sat there worriedly, and now he didn't know what to do, he had also sent a telegram to Terauchi Shouichi before, hoping to choose other lines of communication to transport supplies, so that the two divisions could free up more troops to fight, but there seemed to be no news at all, and Terauchi Shouichi did not reply to them at all.
"Report, Yamane Fresh and Yoshimoto Gotada sent another telegram asking for support!" A staff officer reported to the room where the two of them were sitting.
"Tell them to hold out for 2 days first, and now we are also mobilizing troops to go over!" Inaba Shiro said a little furiously, this is the third such telegram.
"Hold on for 2 days, and you will have troops?" Nanataichiro looked at Shiro Inaba and asked.
"Then what do you say, now you have troops?" Inaba Shiro said angrily, now the two of them don't dare to mobilize the troops in various places, because they can't be mobilized!
And after Yamane Xian and Yoshimoto Gotada, who were on the front line, received a telegram from Inaba Shiro, the two of them sighed.
"2 days, Baga, can we hold out for 2 days?" Yamane rarely heard it and cursed.
"I think, let's let the soldiers stay in the trenches, we can't go out again, if the eight roads come to attack, we can also defend, we must not enter the mountain, as long as we don't enter the mountain, I think, the eight roads have no way to take us for a while, 2 days, we should be able to hold on!" Yoshimoto Wuzhong thought for a moment and said helplessly.
"What else can we do?" Yamagen said depressedly, immediately, they gave an order, all the troops, rest in the trenches, can not go to the mountain, can only defend the spot against the possible attack on the side of the Eighth Road!
Now Hu Bin after they retreated to the back, they rested in the mountains, they were busy all night last night, and now they are tired, and they have slept until more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Bin got up, at this time there are also soldiers who got up, and began to eat steamed buns sent from the back troops, in order to avoid exposing their positions, Li Qinwei has notified the large troops behind to send food to his company.
"Brother Bin, the head of the regiment telegraphed!" Zhong Mochu came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.
"Oh!" Hu Bin ate steamed buns, took the telegram handed over by Zhong Mochu, and read it carefully.
"Well, inform the regiment commander and wait for our news, but the soldiers must be prepared in advance, if there is a real fight, there may be no rest tonight! So, let the fighters rest in the afternoon! Hu Bin said to Zhong Mochu.
"Okay!" When Zhong Mo heard this, he continued to run to his position.
Now Zhong Mochu is taking those newcomers to learn telegraph, and the entire Sixth Company must be able to read and write, and must learn skills such as sending telegrams, reading maps, and measuring distances.
After Hu Bin finished eating, he called Lu Feng and Huo Qingge, took 10 soldiers, and began to reconnoiter to the devil.
When he arrived at the bottom of the outer mountain, Hu Bin found that there was no one in the bunker that the devils had built before on the top of the mountain, not only did there be no devils in the mountains where they did the devils last night, but there were no devils on the mountains where they did not act last night.
"Damn, what are the devils doing?"
After Hu Bin observed for a while, he found that there were no devils, a little confused, I don't know why the devils would give up these mountains, it stands to reason that it is completely impossible, give up the mountains, then the devils really expose their own defense situation, all of them are exposed, and the situation of the devils below is observed from the top of the mountain, and it is unobstructed!
"Wait a minute, I'll go up and have a look!" Hu Bin took a machine gun and carefully leaned on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers below also held a gun and pointed it at the top of the mountain, fearing that the devils would have an ambush on it and attack Hu Bin.
It took Hu Bin more than ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain and found that there were really no devils.
"Your uncle, really not?" Hu Bin took a look and found that there were really no devils, and then lay in the trenches, observing other hills, and found that there were indeed none, and then observed various places to see if the devils were ambushed, or not.
Hu Bin looked at the position of the devils below, and he found that the devils were all in the trenches, and on the flat ground, there were few devils active, as if they were going to fight.
"What do you mean? Know we're going to hit you guys? Hu Bin looked at the situation below and felt that something was wrong, those devils were ready to defend.
After watching for a few minutes, Hu Bin climbed to the back and beckoned to the soldiers below to come up, while Hu Bin continued to return to the same place and observe the devils below the mountain.
"Well, it's about 700 to 800 people, a big circular defensive position, Nima's, so you want to defend such a big position, he's arrogant, right?" Hu Bin said there.
Hu Bin carefully observed, and found that although the devils have people on the entire position, but the density of defense is very low, if a feint attack is carried out on a place, and the main attack is launched in a place, the devil's position will be broken through immediately, but the troops who launched the main attack, the casualties will definitely be very large!
"Brother Bin, what's wrong?" After Lu Feng came up, he said to Hu Bin.
"Well, look below, the devils are ready, as if they know that we are going to fight them!" Hu Bin gestured below and said to them.
When Lu Feng heard it, he picked up the telescope and looked at it carefully.
"Brother Bin. No, the devils are ready, if they are forced to fight, they will suffer heavy casualties, you see those devils, they won't leave the trenches at all! Lu Feng put down the binoculars and said to Hu Bin.
"I just don't know if the devil is a ploy like this, to attract us to attack the past, and then they have other troops nearby, if this is really the case, once the fight starts, we will suffer a big loss!" Hu Bin said worriedly.
"Well, that's, do you want to fight?" Lu Feng heard Hu Bin's words, nodded, and agreed with Hu Bin's consideration, but still asked Hu Bin if he wanted to continue fighting.
"I don't know yet, call the monk and ask him to send a scout in disguise to reconnoiter a 20-mile radius here!" Hu Bin said to Huo Qingge. (To be continued.) )
