Chapter 537: The Fierce Battle Begins
Hu Bin had just finished issuing the order, and a telegraph operator said that the political commissar had sent a telegram, Hu Bin reached out and took it, and then looked at it.
After reading the telegram, Hu Bin thought carefully for a while, and said to another correspondent: "Send a telegram to the political commissar, the people evacuate, evacuate the women and children first, and tell the people that the destroyed houses will be rebuilt for them, please feel free to leave with us.
In addition, open the military food depot, we are all responsible for the food and use of the people during this time, remember to cooperate with the actions of the chief of staff, in order to reduce casualties, we must gradually retreat, the other is to attract the devil over, stretch the devil's offensive line, and the supply line is also extended, so when arranging the retreat, we must communicate with the chief of staff in time! Hu Bin said to the correspondent.
The correspondent recorded it, Hu Bin signed it, and the telegram was sent out immediately.
At this time, on the Yan'an side, the commander had already received information that the devil's troops were already marching to Hu Bin's side.
"This stinky boy, the devil is here, and he doesn't forget to take revenge? 300,000 devil troops, what does this kid think? The commander said anxiously.
He didn't know what Hu Bin thought, and all he could do now was to believe Hu Bin. Because Hu Bin beat Jiang Dingwen, he discussed it with the commander-in-chief, it is definitely not as simple as revenge, there must be a backhand behind him, and Hu Bin must have his purpose in doing this impulsively, so the commander does not send a telegram to scold Hu Bin now.
But when he saw that the devils were already attacking Hu Bin's side, the commander was anxious, the troops of the 300,000 devils, Hu Bin was not in command at the headquarters, isn't it fatal now? With Hu Bin in the headquarters, the commander can still feel at ease. Because Hu Bin has created several miracles, the commander has a lot of trust in Hu Bin in his heart, knowing that he must have a way to resolve the crisis, the key is that Hu Bin is not in the command now!
"I really don't understand, what is Xiaobin going to do? Still going to fight? Hey, I'm going to die. That rabbit cub is not good like this, once there is a war, all the plans will not be told in advance, just let us worry, and this time, I will see what he will do! The commander-in-chief was also quite anxious, because he didn't know what Hu Bin was planning.
"Report, according to our intelligence. It seems, it seems, Li Dalong's troops also followed Hu Bin to the front line! At this moment, a secretary came to the office and said to the commander-in-chief.
"What? Li Dalong also went, didn't he stop? Why did you go again? When the commander heard this, he stood up in surprise, looked at the secretary and said.
"I don't know. The intelligence is here! The secretary came over with the information and handed it to the commander-in-chief. The other people in the office looked at the commander in confusion, the commander had stopped Li Dalong before, but now Li Dalong actually went to the front line, this is even worse.
"No, no, no! Lee Da Long is not such an impulsive person, I understand him. A little arrogant, but not impulsive, and now he can follow Hu Bin to fight, which shows that he believes in Hu Bin, so I am relieved. The commander sat down as he spoke. I was indeed relieved.
"That's right, when you say that, I'm also a lot relieved, Li Dalong can follow him, which means that Xiaobin persuaded him, there must be some plan, or, you go and ask Li Dalong to find out his tone?" The commander-in-chief asked, looking at the commander-in-chief.
"Okay, or I won't be able to sleep!" The commander stood up and walked outside.
Soon, the telegram arrived at Li Dalong, Li Dalong saw that it was the commander's telegram, and thought about it for a while, Hu Bin confessed to him last night, don't tell the commander, but the commander is now asking what is going on!
"Huh, what can I do about this, you send a telegram back to the commander, just say, please believe Hu Bin!" Li Dalong exhaled and said to the guards beside him.
"Yes!" The guard nodded, stopped the car, and headed back.
"Please believe Hu Bin! Hey, this kid probably has a backhand! After the commander-in-chief saw the commander-in-chief holding Li Dalong's telegram back, he nodded and said.
"I guess too, there must be a backhand, what this kid is playing, we don't know, we can only wait, and we have to cooperate with Chongqing to condemn Hu Bin, this rabbit cub is estimated to hate the two of us again!" The commander also nodded and said, but he was really not worried. After getting such a sentence from Li Dalong's side, he was much more relieved.
At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost dark at this time, Hu Bin's troops had already arrived at the forward position of Shangluo, and the troops had also deployed, but there was no action, they had to wait for the action of the special regiment, and the troops had been driving for an afternoon, and they had not eaten yet, so they needed to take a break!
At this time, the devil's troops had already handed over fire to Hu Bin's troops, and on the Yingcheng side, the devils took the lead in attacking, and also dispatched bombers to bomb Zheng Xin's troops of the 105th Division.
Then there was the shelling, after the bombardment, the devil's infantry came up, but this line of defense, they have been repairing for more than half a year, in the face of the devil's bombardment, their casualties are not very large, and now seeing the devil's infantry coming up, the troops of the 103rd division hit the devil head-on, so that the devil left more than 1,000 corpses and retreated.
Then there was another artillery bombardment on the devil's side, and the devil had been attacking fiercely, rotating the infantry wing to launch a fierce attack on Zheng Xin's troops, from more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 7 o'clock in the evening, the devil charged 3 times, leaving more than 4,000 corpses.
It's dark, the devil doesn't fight, and Zheng Xin asked people to clean up the battlefield, and then the devil waved a white flag and came to collect the corpse, it's summer, if you don't collect the corpse, they won't be able to fight tomorrow, and the corpse will stink tomorrow. And Zheng Xin's side is also counting casualties.
"Most of the paralyzed ones were killed, more than 2,700 people were killed, and when the infantry was really fighting, the casualties were never less than 1,000!" Cao Liang, chief of staff of the 103rd Division, opened his mouth and scolded.
"So, we played 1-1?" Zheng Xin asked.
"Almost, 1 to 1, tomorrow will be a sad day, according to the order of the command, we will hold out until the evening of the day after tomorrow, and we will be able to retreat to the second line of defense by the evening of the day after tomorrow!" Cao Liang said.
"There are 2 divisions of troops below, hold on for 2 and a half days, Made, the devils will still attack in turn tomorrow, and the reserve troops must be ready!" Zheng Xin said.
"A reserve of 3,200 people from the back came up, if it is not enough, we continue to transfer?" Cao Liang asked.
"No, it can't be mobilized, it's not the worst time yet, wait a minute, now we can still hold on, the devil won't have a good time tomorrow, unless they bombard Lao Tzu for a day, then Lao Tzu will be convinced, admit defeat, I see how much ammunition they have, by the way, do you know where the devil rests?" Zheng Xin asked.
"Know, our artillery battalion can hit!" Cao Liang said.
"Then fight, the artillery can't fire during the day, but it's still okay at night, blow it up for me, blow up one less and kill one less, that is, our artillery battalion still has fewer large-caliber guns, if only a little more, order them to open fire, right? The little devils fire artillery during the day, we fire artillery at night, there is nothing to say, by the way, can you hit the artillery positions of the devils? Zheng Xin asked.
"No, the devils are very treacherous, their artillery positions are outside the range of our artillery, and they can't hit them at all! However, the devil's artillery can't hit our artillery. Cao Liang shook his head and said.
"Then let's fight, order them to fire!" Zheng Xin said.
"Yes!" Cao Liang nodded and immediately went to order.
10 minutes later, the artillery battalion of 103 began to open fire, and launched an artillery bombardment on the place where the devils were resting, that is, there were not many artillery, and many places were not bombed, so many devils were still able to successfully retreat beyond the range of artillery bombardment, but it was not bad, more than 2,000 devils were killed, and many were injured.
And in the other defense lines, they are almost doing the same thing, that is, shelling the devils, and in the other 4 directions, the devils all launched attacks in the afternoon.
"Brother Bin, telegram from the chief of staff, today's battle damage report!" Mo Shu took the telegram and handed it to Hu Bin, who was sitting there eating.
Hu Bin heard it, took it, turned on the flashlight, and looked at it carefully. After reading it, Hu Bin handed the telegram to Mo Shi and asked him to put it away.
"How's the fight?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"It's okay, it's better than I thought, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, the devils began to attack one after another, and our entire casualties were about 20,000, of which 11,000 were sacrificed!" Hu Bin said.
"It's just begun, and it's okay to have such a large number of casualties?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Tomorrow is the most intense day, the devils will definitely attack, and it won't work in the back, so it's understandable that the casualties are large now, but they also killed a lot of devils, and in addition to the current shelling, they basically achieved 1 to 1, which is quite good, and in the case that we don't occupy the air and artillery advantage, we can hit this, which is very good.
However, tonight is estimated to be enough for the devils to drink a pot, and they would not have thought that we would shell them at night! Hu Bin sat there and said.
"At the current rate of casualties, we may not have many troops in a week!" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and said.
"You can't count it like that, now the devils are in full swing, and they have sufficient weapons and ammunition, but once they have large casualties, the intensity of the attack will be much smaller, and the devil's soldiers are not machines, they can fight like this every day!" Hu Bin looked at him, shook his head and said.
"Hey! Made, the devil really doesn't fucking talk about credit! Li Dalong sighed and scolded.
"You don't expect this, you count on this, you might as well expect pie to fall from the sky, so it's more likely!" Hu Bin heard it, sneered and said. (To be continued.) )
