Chapter 764 Key Line of Defense
The Chinese armoured forces set out at 12 p.m. and began to march separately towards Meiliao and Madeya, where they were to launch an attack on these two defensive positions at 2 a.m.
In order to have the effect of a surprise attack, before the troops marched, the commanders at all levels gave orders to the fighters, not to talk when they were in the car, not to make loud noises!
Hu Bin also knew in the command that Xiang Feng's troops had set off, and he was already very tired at this time, and he had not slept since last night, and now while the combat troops had not yet arrived in the combat area, Hu Bin lay down on the benches in the headquarters to rest.
Those staff officers also knew that Hu Bin had not rested for a long time, and now he was sleepy, so it was either a very urgent telegram, or it was reported to those senior staff officers to deal with it, and those senior staff officers also had great authority, or they went to Li Dalong and asked Li Dalong to deal with it.
Li Dalong rested a little last night, and now he is lying on the table at the headquarters to take a nap, if there is something, he has to get up at any time to deal with those things.
Almost an hour later, Ding Wanzhong and Xiang Feng's troops were about to approach the devil's position, and in order to confuse the devil, the vehicles were several cars before turning on one headlight, as long as the driver could see clearly.
At this time, Ding Wanzhong sat on the armored command vehicle and watched the march of the entire army, and the entire marching team had no other sound at all except for the sound of the vehicle engine. Ding Wanzhong climbed out of the command car and sat on the roof of the car, and there were other soldiers on the roof.
"Commander, how did you climb out!" Sitting on the roof of the armored command car was Ding Wanzhong's guard unit, and a guard soldier saw Ding Wanzhong coming out, looked at him and asked.
"Come out and breathe, Made, the weather is so nice!" Ding Wanzhong looked up at the sky and said, the stars in the sky can be seen very clearly, he has not looked at the night sky carefully for a long time.
"Commander, you say, when will we be able to completely defeat the devils, I heard that Brother Bin has killed a lot of devils, why haven't we completely defeated the devils?" A soldier said to Ding Wanzhong.
"Don't talk nonsense, the division commander is thinking about the problem!" A platoon commander next to him immediately said that they were shaking as they moved forward with the armored vehicle.
"It's okay, I didn't think about the problem, I thought about it for so long, and I still think about it, I don't have to die of exhaustion!" Ding Wanzhong said with a smile.
Then he looked at the soldier and explained: "We also want to win, but there are many devils' troops, much more than our troops in Yan'an, they have millions of troops, we can only fight with them slowly now, there will always be a day to win, you know, Brother Bin has killed so many devils, slowly, the devils will always fight anymore!" ”
"Yes!" The soldier smiled embarrassedly and said, probably because the platoon commander had just said about him.
"You may not know, 4 years ago, not to mention tanks, our troops in Yan'an, even a few artillery, we were able to block the attack of devils at that time, now we have artillery, planes, tanks, by the way, and our Bayi rifle, this is all our own making, what are you afraid of.
At that time, if we got a 38 big cover, it would be amazing, the soldiers of the whole regiment were red-eyed, now you see, the 38 big cover is a fart, who wants this gun, if you don't hit the vital point, you can't kill people at all, and you still shoot and pull the bolt.
Now you look at our automatic rifles, a cartridge of 30 rounds, it is enough to pull the bolt once, and the firepower is great! Therefore, the strength of our country is getting stronger and stronger, and we will definitely be able to defeat the devils.
And you see, today we are on the front line, but the devil has 200,000 troops, and we have only invested in the attack. About 100,000, 1 to 2, we also took down the little devils, you say, can we win? Ding Wanzhong looked at the soldiers and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Several of the fighters sitting in the car nodded firmly!
"Commander, when do you think we will return to China? I've heard that we can't go back to China yet, can we? Another squad leader looked at Ding Wanzhong and asked.
"Returning home? Not! I want to go home too, you want to too, we've been out for more than half a year. Ding Wanzhong looked at the soldiers and asked.
"Hmm!" The fighters were nodding.
"But we can't go back, if we go back, the devils will come in from the border of our country, and it is estimated that many people will be killed by the devils, as you have seen, during the day today, the devils are using local recruits as cannon fodder, and they don't care about their lives or deaths, and keep letting them charge, and we have to kill.
Think about it, if we go back, the devil will let our compatriots be cannon fodder, will we fight or not? If we don't, the devils will kill us.
So, for the sake of the people of our country, we may not be able to go back now. However, you should also rest assured, once you have the opportunity to go back, I think Brother Bin will definitely let everyone go back, who doesn't want to go home, right? Ding Wanzhong explained to the soldiers with a smile.
This must be explained, the soldiers have been out for more than half a year, and there is no homesickness, especially as Chinese, who want to be able to return to their roots, and they do not want to die abroad.
Although the bodies of the soldiers who died in the army will be transported back to China, they still want to fight at home, so that they believe that if they die, their souls can find their homes and visit their families, while abroad, they are afraid that their souls will not find their way home.
However, after they heard what Ding Wanzhong said, they all nodded, and they also saw today's situation, the devil really didn't treat the local soldiers as people, just let them charge, and charge under such powerful firepower, that is, to die!
"Divisional commander, we're almost there!" A staff officer in the command car got out and said to Ding Wanzhong, who was sitting on the roof of the car.
"Good!" Ding Wanzhong heard it, moved to the position of the roof exit, the soldiers helped him go down, and after arriving at the headquarters, the staff officer pointed to the current position, Ding Wanzhong saw that it was less than 5 kilometers away from the devil's defense line, and now it is indeed necessary to prepare.
"Inform the vanguard to stop when you reach a position 3 kilometers away from the devil, let the infantry get out of the car, and follow the battle plan we discussed before, move carefully to the devil's side, and don't make too much movement!" Ding Wanzhong said to the correspondent.
The correspondent immediately picked up the microphone from Command and began to speak.
At this time, the vanguard did arrive at a place 3 kilometers away from the front line of the devil, and after receiving the order, the soldiers turned off the lights, and then walked to the devil's side, bypassing the mounds in front of them, and the vanguard could see the strong lights above the devil's position in the distance.
The bright lights were sweeping in front of the entire devil's defense line, and they were also worried that they would be attacked by the enemy, but fortunately, the strongholds they set up in the main defense line were all killed by the troops of the special regiment, so the Chinese troops could get so close.
As an infantry unit, there is no commander who does not know that the reason why China's troops are marching so safely is because there are troops of the special regiment escorting them in the dark, and they have cleared out those troops who came to reconnoiter in advance, and they have also killed all the strongholds set up by the devils on the march in advance, so that the devils are completely blind.
Not long after the vanguard troops had just advanced, the large troops behind them also arrived, they scattered their cars, and after parking the cars, the soldiers got out of the cars and gathered, followed their battalion commanders to the front, and turned over those small mounds, and they could see the devil's defense line in the distance.
20 minutes later, the entire unit was fully deployed, and was cautiously approaching the devil's side, while the armored troops behind were waiting for Ding Wanzhong's order.
"Division Commander, Division Commander Xiang telegraphed, their troops have been deployed and have begun to march towards the devils, please instruct!" A staff officer took the telegram and read it to Xiang Feng.
"Order them to attack at any time, our side is also deployed, we can attack at any time, launch an attack now, it won't make the devil too much time alert in advance, you can fight directly!" After Ding Wanzhong heard the words of the chief of staff, he immediately said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.
At this time, Ding Wanzhong had already let the armored command car drive to the top of the hill, so that he could climb to the roof of the car and watch the situation on the devil's side.
"Report, telegram from the special regiment, he hopes that our tank troops can quickly break through the devil's position No. 7, because behind the No. 7 position, there is a group of devils' artillery, once they fire, it will bring huge casualties to our troops, and the No. 7 position is a brigade of the devil on the defense!
The artillery cluster of the devils is directly behind position No. 7, and if the armored forces are fast and can break through in 5 minutes, then they can stop the artillery attack of the devils! Another staff officer said to Ding Wanzhong with a telegram.
"Tell them, I know, I have ordered an armored regiment with an infantry regiment to specifically storm the devil's position No. 7, the whole attack starts from here, we will not let the devil's artillery position fire!" Ding Wanzhong said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard it and went to send a telegram as well.
They had comprehensive intelligence support before, and this was all observed by the special regiment, so before leaving, Ding Wanzhong discussed with several division commanders that they should kill the artillery positions in advance, so as to minimize the casualties of the troops, therefore, on Ding Wanzhong's side, the No. 7 position is the key defense line they want to break through quickly.
