Chapter 420: Endless Means

………………………………………… As the firepower of the Northeast Army gradually weakened, the casualties of the Japanese half of the brigade also began to decrease. According to the experience of the captain of the half-side group, this was a sign of the retreat of the Northeast Army.

"Withdraw! Withdraw, Lao Tzu will definitely not pursue! Half of the captain said loudly in his heart. Although his brigade suffered heavy losses, as long as he did not lose his position, then he still had merit. And the most important point is that the brigade, which has suffered heavy losses, will not be sent to the battlefield in the first place. The Northeast Army's constant sneak attack was really fed up with them. He couldn't figure it out, didn't the troops in China rest? Or are they all night owls, and they are refreshed at night. When they came to the land of the Northeast, they didn't sleep well. Just kidding, anyone who is awakened by the sound of shelling at night will not be able to sleep well, and his spirit will become sluggish.

"Report to the team leader, the Yamano Wing Captain sent a liaison to confirm the losses of our brigade." The herald came over with a Japanese soldier and said.

"Half of the captain, the large force of the wing can feel it immediately. How about the attack of the Chinese people? Listening to the sparse gunfire, the liaison staff officer could hardly believe that half of the brigade had been subjected to heavy attack.

"The people of China have begun to retreat, and these people should be some of the people who have left behind the palace. Please tell the captain of the mountain field that our brigade has lost more than half of its brigade and is no longer able to fight again. Captain Half said.

"I know, I'll report to the Yamano Captain." The Japanese soldier nodded and turned to leave.

Ten minutes later, a Japanese soldier came in with a few young men.

"Banbian-kun, take your brigade and the wounded back to the county seat! The defense here is left to us. Yamano Osa patted half of the captain on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Captain!" The captain of the half team said loudly.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the whole position trembled. The faces of the captain of the half of the group, who was about to leave, and the captain of the mountain field who was taking over the position, changed wildly.

"Yaga! The shelling of the people of China, they did not retreat! The captain of the mountain field roared with a distorted face.

Tick Tick Tick Tick ...... The loud charge of the Northeast Army sounded in the night. One after another, black shadows quickly rushed to the Japanese positions under the cover of night.

What frightened the captain of half of the brigade and the captain of the mountain field was that I don't know when, the soldiers of the Northeast Army actually touched the front of the position silently. If the Northeast Army doesn't attack, it will be really difficult for them to find out.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, order the troops to enter the position quickly," Yamano said loudly. It was really good when the Northeast Army attacked. It happened that half of the brigade was carrying the wounded and withdrawing from the position, and the mountain and field brigade had not yet taken over the position, and in addition to the half of the brigade's position, it could only accommodate a brigade of about 1,000 people, and could not accommodate a wing of more than 2,000 people (a wing of more than 3,000 people, under the jurisdiction of three infantry brigades, and half of the brigade was subordinate to the mountain and field wing, so the current so-called mountain and field wing is more than 2,000 people. Boom boom!

Da-da-da-da!

The artillery roared, and the heavy machine gun Yang Wei frantically harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers in the dark night.

"It's yours, it's a large army of the Shina people!" Looking at the dense firepower, the face of the Yamano Wing Captain was extremely gloomy.

Kill!

With fierce shouting, the soldiers of the Northeast Army finally rushed to the battlefield.

The Japanese army, which was suppressed by the artillery fire of the Northeast Army, recovered its vitality, after all, the Japanese wing that had just arrived on the battlefield could not deploy firepower at all, which made them passively beaten under the artillery fire of the Northeast Army, but the Northeast Army rushed to the position, and the artillery fire of the Northeast Army was useless. In hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army had a unique advantage. White-knuckle combat is an extremely rigorous training project of the Japanese army, and the first division of the Japanese army is the most elite unit of the Japanese army, which is deeply influenced by the spirit of bushido, and the white-knuckle combat that shows the spirit of the military katana is naturally very familiar. At the moment when the Northeast Army rushed to the position, several Japanese soldiers spontaneously stood back to back, holding snow-bright bayonets, and rushed towards the Northeast Army soldiers with fierce faces.

Because it was a night raid, all the soldiers of the Northeast Army had white towels wrapped around their shoulders. It was very easy to distinguish in the light of the fires that could be seen everywhere on the position.

Da Da !

The Japanese soldiers who were deeply influenced by the spirit of bushido did not expect that the Northeast Army would have no spirit of bushido, and when the two sides competed, they actually used a large number of light machine guns. No matter how elite the Japanese bayonet training is, in the face of bullets, it is still useless.

"Phew! If you have time to play with a little devil like you, it is better to kill a few more to earn military industry. A man with a light machine gun said with a disdainful face.

The guns on the battlefield were loud, and the Japanese soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties under the superior light machine guns of the Northeast Army. The whole battlefield was in chaos.

For half an hour, the entire battlefield was a pair of soldiers of the Northeast Army who were cleaning the battlefield.

"Fuck, the little devil's combat effectiveness is strong, more than 200 brothers have died on Lao Tzu's side, nearly 1,000 people have been seriously injured, and almost half of Lao Tzu's troops have been scrapped." The commander of the fourth regiment said scoldingly.

"Okay Lao Hu, you are cheap and obedient, your battle damage is only about a battalion, and those lightly wounded can go to the battlefield after a period of recuperation. On the contrary, it was the luck of the artillery company that bombarded the Japanese headquarters with one shot, otherwise how could we have completely annihilated this Japanese wing. The co-captain's command knife belongs to you, and I will not be polite to the three captain's command knives. The commander of the fifth regiment smiled and pinned the three Japanese command knives to his waist. He's not too heavy.

"Retreat! Don't summon the big army of little devils. The commander of the fourth regiment, Mei Zizi, pinned the command knife of the commander of the mountain field wing to his waist, and then shouted to the troops to retreat. How can the captain's command knife be compared to the wing commander's command knife, even if there are more of them, they can't be compared.

When the Japanese army arrived, all they saw were corpses all over the ground.

At the same time, on the southern battlefield, the Japanese reinforcements were also attacked by the 6th and 7th regiments of the Northeast Army. But this wing was lucky, although it suffered heavy losses, but under the leadership of the wing commander, it broke out, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army retreated after a little pursuit. They also did not want to run into the large forces of the Japanese army.

Haicheng, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Yaga! Cunning Shina people! "The Northeast Army's attack pattern of one regiment has always made Lieutenant General Shibagoro ignore the actual combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, and in addition, his mind has always been on the heavy artillery of the Northeast Army, ignoring the combat effectiveness of the infantry, thus causing the Japanese army to suffer huge losses.

"The Yamano Wing was wiped out. What the hell is going on? How many troops did the people of China send? Lieutenant General Shibagoro roared loudly.

"From the south, the total strength of the people should be about four regiments, and as for the mountain and field wing, it is most likely that there is a problem with the command of the mountain field. Your Excellency, Division Commander, it seems that there is a problem with our layout, and the Northeast Army has seized the distance between our reconnaissance unit and the headquarters and caught us by surprise. In this case, I believe that we should narrow the scope of reconnaissance and absolutely not give the Northeast Army another chance. Major General Hanzo Yamanashi said in a deep voice.

"Hmmm! Send electricity to the troops in front and ask them to retreat two kilometers back and station. Lieutenant General Shibagoro said in a deep voice. Tonight is a good night's sleep. With the loss of a wing in the north and half of it in the south, the mountain of corpses shrouded the entire army in gloom, and if not careful, the morale of the troops would be too bad.

Headquarters of the Southern Military District.

"Report to the commander, news has come from the troops, according to your revised plan, both sides have made great gains. In particular, the 4th and 5th regiments actually annihilated a wing of the Japanese army, and their own casualties totaled only about 1,000 people. But there were still nearly 2,000 corpses left on the battlefield, and the two sides combined, we killed 5,000 Japanese soldiers at one time! If this continues, the Japanese army will not last long. Qian Zhuangfei said excitedly.

"This is just the beginning. The Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment are almost rested. Let them also start moving, and the Japanese army must not be stopped tonight! Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Let them attack the East and the West?" Qian Zhuangfei asked.

Zhen Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "No, continue to attack the north and south sides. The Japanese army has suffered a new defeat on both sides, and the morale of the soldiers who have just entered the battle must be low, and with common sense, where we have just won a big victory, even if we strike again, we will not choose to be there, so continuing to attack there may be unexpected gains"

Before starting to move, Zhen Zhen originally wanted to attack in four directions, but after pondering for a while, he chose to use four regiments to attack two sides, one side and two regiments. One regiment was responsible for attacking, the other was for lurking, and it was much easier to get close to the enemy in the darkness of night. In addition to the attack of one regiment and one regiment of the Northeast Army on Moss, it was easy to confuse the enemy. As it turned out, his luck was good, the enemy was almost following his script, losing five thousand men in two battles.

Although he was a little suspicious, Qian Zhuangfei still carried out Zhen Zhen's order to the letter. Qian Zhuangfei did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with serving as the herald of Zhen Zhen as the political commissar of the Southern Military Region, although Zhen Zhen did not have a good reputation in the Northeast Army, but only when he really contacted him, he would find that he was a calm personality and thoughtful person. And he is very strategic and assertive, just like this wolf pack plan, everyone is not optimistic, but he still insists. Although it is only a small victory now, in terms of battle losses, the Northeast Army is much smaller than the Japanese army. Moreover, the Northeast Army suffered fewer deaths and more injuries. With the relatively sound field ambulance team of the Northeast Army, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers in the Northeast is much smaller than that of any unit in the country. In addition to the local battle, wounded soldiers can be sent back to the rear for treatment as quickly as possible. This also greatly improves the survival rate of wounded soldiers.

And the Japanese army is not good in this regard. Although there are military doctors, they can't hold out in the face of a staggering number of wounded. In addition, the Japanese army is now surrounded by the Northeast Army, and the fate of logistics is in the hands of the Northeast Army. In this case, the gap in superiority between the two sides will only become more and more obvious.
