Chapter 826 Cannon Fodder
Xiang Feng was very depressed when he saw that he had been fighting for so long in front and had not yet knocked down the defense line outside Naypyidaw.
Now it's already dark, and when it comes to fighting at night, the devils are familiar with the terrain of the trenches, and they will definitely suffer a loss when they fight, in order to reduce casualties, Xiang Feng has to order the troops to stop attacking, and once his side stops attacking, the devils of the Nay Pido defense line will definitely retreat.
If they retreat directly to Yangon, it would be better, he knew that Li Qinwei would definitely block them tonight, for fear that they would flee in all directions, so it would be quite difficult to chase them.
"Send a telegram to the troops on the front line, end the battle in half an hour, let them start preparing for defense, and prevent the devil's troops from coming to sneak attack at night, and the logistics must also hurry up and send food up, I'm worried that we will have to fight tonight!" Xiang Feng said to a staff officer beside him.
At this time, Xiang Feng had anger in his heart, and this anger was also very inexplicable, he thought, if the troops of the special regiment were here, they would not have to fight for so long, and now the soldiers of the special regiment have already infiltrated the devil's side, there are not many troops here, and Hu Bin did not give an order to let them participate in the attack!
"Division commander, don't get angry, I think, Brother Bin must know that it is not easy for our divisions to break through the Nabido defense line and annihilate most of the devils, the soldiers on the front line are fighting very hard, we shouldn't talk about them like that!" At this time, the political commissar of the 1st Armored Division came over and said to Xiang Feng.
"I know, and I don't blame them, but you don't understand it, and I take back what I just said!" Xiang Feng heard the words of the political commissar and realized that he had just lost his temper.
"Well, we have been fighting a lot recently, maybe the nerves are a little tight, I think, the commander will definitely consider fighting this battle, and most of the troops will have to rest." The commissar continued.
Xiang Feng heard it, threw a cigarette to the political commissar, lit one himself, stood there, looked at the stars in the sky, sighed, and did not speak.
"What's wrong, what's going on? Is there something I don't know? When the political commissar saw Xiang Feng like this, he asked.
"No, no! That's it, let's not talk about it, it's a private matter! Xiang Feng still didn't want to say it.
"Okay, if there is anything, you can come to me at any time, I am much older than you, I have a lot of personal matters, I still have more experience!" When the political commissar heard him say this, it was not easy to continue asking, Xiang Feng nodded.
"Report, the commander telegraphed, asking how our attack is now, if we can't take the Naypyitol defense line before dark today, it doesn't matter, don't press the devils, let them go, just pay attention to mobilizing armored troops to chase after us at night, so that our casualties can be controlled to a minimum!" A staff officer said to Xiang Feng with a telegram sent by Hu Bin.
"Send a telegram back to Brother Bin, our division fought bravely, but the enemy's defense line is very long, in order to reduce casualties, our department does not dare to advance too fast, and now there are about 6 kilometers of defense on both sides that have not been defeated, and my armored division will be dispatched at any time at night to pursue the retreating devils!" Xiang Feng said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard the answer and immediately turned and left.
"Division commander, I'll go to the front to see the wounded, you're on duty here?" The political commissar looked at Xiang Feng and asked.
"Okay, wait, snuff out the cigarette, wait until you get to the front, don't smoke, it's dangerous!" Xiang Feng nodded, and when he saw that the political commissar was still holding a cigarette, he immediately reminded him.
"Yes!" The commissar said with a smile.
And Xiang Feng sat down directly after he left, feeling very boring! At this time, the line of defense in front of him, which was controlled by his troops, the soldiers were now out of the battle and began to arrange the matter of defense, and most of the soldiers were sitting on the edge of the trenches.
They had been fighting for a day, and they were quite tired, and now they were waiting for food to be brought later, but they didn't have to wait long at all, and the soldiers of the cooking class came over with food and distributed food to the soldiers.
The soldiers sat on the trenches and ate, now everyone is used to the smell of blood on the battlefield, they can't care so much about it, for them, nothing matters, life is the most important thing.
"Brigade commander, brigade commander, I found that the devil has someone leaving the trench!" At this time, a battalion commander ran in front of the commander of an infantry brigade and said.
"What, just started running? We've just stopped? The brigade commander was holding a bowl of soup and looked at the battalion commander with a steamed bun in one hand and asked.
"yes, I'm running now, but it's all going to Nay Pyi Do!" The battalion commander said.
"Someone, send a telegram to the front finger, and find that the devil has started to run away to Nay Pyi Duo, and there are not many of them now!" The brigade commander heard it, thought for a moment, and said to the communications corps behind him.
"Yes!" The communications soldier immediately picked up the phone and contacted the command in the back.
"Have you eaten it?" The brigade commander asked the battalion commander.
"No! I'll go back and eat! The battalion commander said with a smile.
"Let's eat here, come on, get something to eat! Later, you can tell me what the morale of the soldiers is now, and how we have been fighting like this, and the casualties of our troops, you have to tell me about it, I always feel that we are fighting along the trenches of the devils, and we always have a little strength that we can't use it! The brigade commander asked the battalion commander after giving instructions to the guards behind.
"There is no problem with morale, comrades all know that the devils can't beat us now, and the casualties are okay, not big, now the firepower on our side is fierce, and there is no need to rely on the soldiers to rush over to solve the devils.
However, brigade commander, it is the forces on our side that cannot be spread along the trenches, and they cannot give full play to our combat effectiveness at all, and many troops are waiting in the back, taking turns to attack! The battalion commander spoke.
"I know this, is there any other reason? The trenches keep our troops from working, and that's a reason! The brigade commander asked again.
"Also, brigade commander, I said don't scold me, the soldiers are a little soft, those local recruits, at all, hey, they are here to send them to death, many times, we can obviously kill them, and the back is to beat them in the stomach or thigh, hoping to give them a glimmer of life, don't die like this.
Actually, hey, we can't tell, why are those local soldiers so stupid, the little devils just want them to be cannon fodder, they know, and they rush to our side, that's looking for death! The battalion commander looked at the brigade commander and reported helplessly.
At this time, the brigade commander came with food, and the battalion commander took it, thanked him, and began to eat.
"The country is gone, what's so strange about being cannon fodder, isn't there a lot of puppet army in our country? Isn't it cannon fodder! So, if the country is not strong, if the individual is strong, it is a fart, and no matter how strong it is, it is cannon fodder at most! The brigade commander spoke.
"Yes!" The battalion commander heard it, nodded and said very approvingly.
"However, what you said is also right, we can't kill it like this, we have to find a way, I'll think of a way later, tell the division commander, and ask the division commander to send a telegram to Brother Bin, if there is a way not to kill, then it's best!" The brigade commander continued.
"Well, I think so too, we can actually let those captives come over and shout, or do a good job of ideological work for him, but we don't understand what to say here, and it's hard to communicate!" The battalion commander swallowed what was in his mouth and said to the brigade commander.
"You're right, we're going to use other methods to break the military spirit on the devil's side!" The brigade commander heard it, nodded and said.
However, at this time, on Li Qinwei's side, after Li Qinwei arranged to watch the captured troops, he immediately began to maneuver with a large force and inserted himself behind Naypyidaw.
Now he was going to block the Naypyito's retreat over there, and Li Qinwei's armored troops set off first, with a small number of infantry units, and soon reached the back of Naypyidaw.
As soon as they arrived, they found the retreating Japanese troops, and the commander of the armored division, Lu Chunwen, immediately ordered the assault to begin, and the armored troops of the entire division rushed towards the retreating troops of the devils, and the heavy machine guns were all fired, and the devils had nowhere to hide.
And the infantry troops, under the cover of the armored troops, quickly occupied the high ground of the devil's retreat route, and simply repaired some fortifications over there to block the devil's continued retreat!
The retreating devils suffered very heavy casualties under the impact of the tank troops, and some wanted to run, but they couldn't run the tanks and bullets, so the troops of a brigade that had just retreated, after the tank was impacted twice, almost all the troops were wiped out, although there were still alive mouths, but those live mouths could only lie on the ground and dare not get up at all.
And the devils in Nay Pyi Do, now know that the back road has been cut off, and they are also very frightened, and soon, those local recruits secretly left Nay Pyi Taw City and ran to other places without the devil officers paying attention, and some of the devil officers wanted to stop them, but those local recruits also knew that there were many local soldiers, and they could resist.
They didn't want to die here, as long as the officers of the devil dared to stop them, they dared to kill, and soon, a large number of local recruits took weapons and left Naypydo.
At this time, when the infantry behind Li Qinwei came over, they also found those local recruits who had fled in all directions, because they had guns, so they definitely couldn't let them go.
Therefore, Li Qinwei ordered his team to catch the fleeing recruits outside Nay Pyi Do, as long as they did not resist, the Chinese soldiers would not be killed, and if they resisted, they would be absolutely killed, no matter what! (To be continued.) )
