Chapter 346 The Eighth Route Army that cannot be underestimated (five more to ask for a monthly ticket)
346
Hu Bin sat there silently, while Mo Shot persuaded on the side, but Hu Bin didn't listen at all.
At this time, he was thinking about the commander's telegram, the commander was in the telegram, and his expectations for Hu Bin were very high, and it was also very clear in the telegram that the commander could only tolerate Hu Bin wandering outside for a year.
A year later, I must return to Yan'an, follow the commander, and start all-round learning, although the commander did not have a clear commitment to anything, but Hu Bin could vaguely guess that Mo Shot on the side was still talking, but seeing that Hu Bin had been thinking about things there, he knew that he had not listened, so he shook his head and sighed, stood up, and walked outside.
About half an hour later, Hu Bin stood up and walked outside the house, looking at the stars in the sky.
"I don't ask for a marquis to pay homage to the prime minister, I just hope that the war can end soon!" Hu Bin looked up at the stars in the sky and muttered.
When he first came, he saw that his father was just a platoon commander, and he hoped that he could help his father a little, and he also hoped that his father's life would be better, but later Hu Changgui and the commander met, and Hu Bin didn't need to worry about Hu Changgui at all.
Hu Changgui's qualifications are not bad, and his ability is not bad, he is still a person personally brought out by the commander, and the future future is needless to say, on the contrary, Hu Bin has to worry about the safety of his subordinates, if he really goes to Yan'an, then his own army will only slowly become an ordinary army.
Li Qinwei, Huang Wenjin, Xiang Feng, Xiang Lei, Shi Hao, Lu Feng. Slowly, only an ordinary commander, charging into battle with ordinary troops, whether he can survive to the end of the war is a question.
If you are in this unit and take them into unconventional battles, the casualties can be controlled. With the expansion of the troops, the casualties will become smaller and smaller, this Hu Bin knows it well, so why Hu Bin came here is also to fulfill the promise he made to Li Qinwei and them, follow him, and kill the devil at any time.
"Brother Bin, Team 3 has launched an operation tonight and successfully raided the checkpoint in the southwest direction of the devil. There were no seriously wounded, and the lightly wounded did not affect the operation. A telegraph operator came to Hu Bin's side and said.
"Okay, move immediately and move to the other platoons nearby." Hu Bin said.
"Yes!" The telegraph operator nodded.
Soon, the action reports of each unit also came one after another, almost every platoon was a squad to two squads challenging the devils, and when facing a squadron of devils, it was several platoons cooperating. Let's get rid of it.
Hu Bin was here, after receiving the telegram. From time to time, according to the map and the information transmitted back from Zhong Mochu's side, the combat objectives of each platoon were adjusted, and the early warning was given to each unit, so Hu Bin did not sleep all night all night.
And like Hu Bin, there is Takashi Sakai who didn't sleep all night. It was not until about 5 o'clock in the morning that the troops of the Eighth Route stopped attacking.
But in one night, the brigade led by Takashi Sakai suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and more than 500 people led by Hu Bin. On average, a soldier killed 5 people, and there were no casualties, 18 were seriously wounded, 45 were lightly wounded, 22 of which affected the later battles, and were sent back, and at the same time, 40 fighters were sent over to replenish the troops from the regimental headquarters.
"Baga, more than 2,000 people, equivalent to the strength of 2 brigades, just like this, the unknown jade is broken, what the hell is going on, and what kind of troops are coming to attack us, why are our troops too late to wait for reinforcements!" Takashi Sakai shouted in annoyance when he saw the battle damage report.
In one night, he lost 20% of his troops, and if this continues, it will not take a few nights for this brigade of his to be reimbursed.
"Hey, I don't know what the specific troops are, but they should be the same as the troops who came to attack our airport last time, according to the telegram description, their firepower is very strong, and it is the same as the group that attacked the airport last time.
They should be the troops of the Eighth Road, and the Jin Sui Army and the National Army will not carry out such an operation at all. A staff officer stood there and spoke.
"Is there any way to let those people continue to come tonight, and then we will become the commander of the singles." Takashi Sakai asked the staff officer.
"Hey, not at the moment, there are too many places we have to defend now, and the only way that is not a way is to let our troops, shrink the defensive line, and concentrate our troops, so that they don't dare to sneak attack us!" The staff officer spoke.
"Baga, in this case, you still need to say, now we have to prevent the national army and the Jin Sui army from rushing into Shandong, what if they know that we have shrunk the defensive line and start to come and surround us?" Takashi Sakai heard it and shouted at the staff officer dissatisfied.
"Hey!" The staff officer immediately stood upright, not daring to speak.
"Damn, what kind of army is this, the firepower is so powerful, can you afford it over there?" Takashi Sakai said very skeptically, he had also heard about the situation on the side of the Eight Roads, and poverty was one of the characteristics of the Eight Roads.
"Report, telegram from Your Excellency the Commander, asking about the battle on our side last night." At this time, a staff officer came over and said to Takashi Sakai.
"Call back, last night, more than 2,000 pieces of jade in our brigade were shattered, and there were basically no surviving soldiers in the various places that were attacked. At present, the defensive front of our brigade and regiment is too long, which provides very good conditions for the enemy to sneak attack, and there is no effective way to curb the sneak attack of this force and ask for tactical guidance. Takashi Sakai heard the words of the staff officer, thought for a moment, and spoke.
Now he had to enlist support from the military department.
"Hey!" The staff officer wrote it and showed it to Takashi Sakai, and when there was no problem, he went to send a telegram.
And after the telegram reached Nishio Shouzo, Nishio Shouzo immediately fell silent. Now although he has anger, he doesn't know who to send it to, and his troops, who are beaten so badly here, are about to catch up with those troops in Shanxi before.
"The report, the specific battle report, General Takashi Sakai has already sent it, and they presume that it was the same force that attacked our airfield before." Another staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Nishio Shouzo, who was sitting there silent.
"Eight roads? Eight ways again? How is it possible, the firepower of the Eighth Route cannot be so powerful! Nishio Shouzo heard it, and he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he immediately asked.
"Hey, that's what the telegram says!" The staff officer nodded.
"Damn, how could it be!" Nishio Shouzo raised his head, looked at the ceiling above, and whispered.
"The defense line of the 28th Brigade is indeed too long, if the Eighth Route Army continues to sneak attack, the next casualties may be greater, their firepower is too strong, but if we shrink the defense line, it is possible that the Jin Sui Army will seize the opportunity and directly dispatch a large force over!" The chief of staff next to him spoke.
"Mobilize the reserve wing of our military headquarters to Takashi Sakai, temporarily under their command, and order them, don't know how to defend, find an opportunity, find a way to ambush them, and set up some traps for them to get in!" Nishio Shouzo said.
"Hey! However, if the casualties of the wing we have prepared are too large, once there is a large-scale battle on the front line, our defense line will be in trouble, and the troops on our side will be replaced at any time, and we will rush to Changsha! The chief of staff replied and began to raise his own questions.
"Do you have a better way? If not, follow the order, there are too many casualties over there, we are just as dangerous, rather than this, it is better to send more troops over there and find a way to ambush them. Damn, Changsha has already prepared more than 300,000 troops, and there are more than 200,000 reserve troops behind, and they still don't let us sweep it.
If we send about 2 divisions of troops to sweep now, there is no trace of the eight routes, and we can completely annihilate them, and then even the Jin Sui army will retreat back for me, and now we are actually pressed down by those eight roads to fight, and the eight roads have taken the lead! When Nishio Shouzo said this, he scolded.
He can understand the importance of the Changsha operation, but for the Eighth Route here, it has already brought them a huge threat, and he also wants to take the initiative to attack and kill the Eighth Route troops.
In the headquarters of the Jin Sui Army, Yan Xishan had just gotten up when he received information from Tangyin County.
"Eight roads took the initiative to fight devils, is it a mistake?" After Yan Xishan saw the information, he looked at the several staff officers around him with great suspicion, which were also his think tanks.
"At first, we thought the same way, but Commander, if you think about it, the airport was bombed by the Eighth Road, and their current strength cannot be underestimated." One of the staff officers said to Yan Xishan.
"You really dare to fight, ha, Balu took the initiative to attack the devils in Tangyin County, do you really think they have no temper? But I like it, as long as I fight devils, I like it. The Eighth Road did a good job, but our Jin Sui Army lost most of Shanxi, and it has not been recaptured yet, ashamed! Yan Xishan said with a wry smile there.
"Commander, it's not that our Jin Sui army can't fight, it's really that the combat effectiveness of the devils far exceeds ours, and now that we can hold here, it's already very good, I think, sooner or later, we will be able to fully recapture Shanxi." Another staff officer said.
"It's hard to get it back!" When Yan Xishan said this, he stood up.
"After beating the devil, there are still eight roads over there, how can it be so easy to take?" After Yan Xishan finished speaking, he walked to the courtyard outside. (To be continued.) )
