Chapter 701: Ambush
Wang Changhe is commanding the troops to fight, and now he does not dare to be sloppy, because things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and the requirements for the commander's command ability are very high.
"Report, the troops of the 5th Regiment of the 232nd Division have arrived outside the town of Xibu and are now attacking the devils inside the town!
"Don't enter the town first, wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, and send a telegram to Fang Lei, I need his troops to enter the town to find out some information, fast!" Wang Changhe said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately went out.
"Report, the commander sent a telegram, in Mandalay, an armored brigade and an infantry division are dispatched, and now they are rushing to our side, the armored brigade is expected to arrive between 8 and 10 tomorrow morning, and the infantry division is expected to be between 10 and 12 o'clock!" A staff officer came in and said.
"Got it!" Wang Changhe nodded and said.
Now Hu Bin does not interfere with the command of front-line operations at all, but only reports some information, and the specific command is handed over to Wang Changhe to do, Wang Changhe also knows that he needs to independently command more than 2 divisions of troops to fight, and in the future, Hu Bin's troops will definitely develop, so Hu Bin needs to train the ability of commanders.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, on the front line, the battle continued, and almost more than an hour later, all the positions outside the town of Xibu were taken, and only a part of the devil's troops had now retreated into the town.
And the devils who broke through to the west are still suppressed in the encirclement, and they can't get out at all, not only can't they get out, but in just over an hour, the devil's casualties have already passed half. If you want to break through, you can't break through.
"Your Excellency the division commander, you can't hold it here, while the west is not encircled, you have to go out!" Hyakutake Haruyoshi's captain of the guard suggested to him.
"No, I can't go, my troops are all here. I can't go! Hyakutake Haruyoshi immediately shook his head and said.
"No, the commander sent a telegram, we must retreat, once the siege is closed, we can't get out, come on, leave with the division commander, quickly, and. The staff officers have also begun to pack their things, and now they are almost burned, leave immediately, and we will escort you out!" The captain of the guard said to the entire command.
He had to leave with the division commander and the staff officers here, because Okamura Ninji sent him a telegram and gave him the power to dispose of it temporarily, and the only request was to go out with Hyakutake Haruyoshi.
"Yaga. I'm the commander of the division! Hyakutake Haruyoshi heard him say this, and shouted very angrily.
"Hi. Your Excellency, Division Commander, now that I have received an order, I must take you out! The captain of the guard said immediately.
"I'm not leaving!" Hyakutake Haruyoshi shouted in pain.
"Quick!" The captain of the Guards immediately waved his hand behind him, and several fighters of the Guards Brigade immediately dragged him out.
"All retreat, quick!" The captain of the guard immediately shouted at the staff officers, who immediately followed him out. Outside the headquarters, they retreated to the west.
At this time, Hu Bin's troops were also storming the town of Xibu, and the soldiers of the special regiment had just entered the town and found that there were many devils. Many of the devils were wounded, and they were armed and ready to fight in the streets with the Chinese troops.
After this situation was reported to Wang Changhe's side, Wang Changhe ordered the troops to start attacking, first bombarding the house with bazookas, and then letting the infantry rush over to kill the devils, the whole army advanced very fast, the wounded soldiers of the devils did not have any chance at all, some could not even move, the houses collapsed, all crushed to death inside, and some were killed by the Chinese soldiers who rushed in.
The Chinese troops began to clean up house by house, because it was a small town, there was no need for so many troops, so Wang Changhe immediately mobilized two regiments of troops to rush to the east with bazookas and join up with a regiment defending there.
According to the intelligence, Yamashita Fengwen also has an armored brigade to come over, so in order to be able to completely solve the devil of Xibu, Wang Changhe needs to set up a defense line in the east and kill the devil's armored brigade.
At this time, Hu Bin received a telegram from Wang Changhe at the headquarters, and learned that the troops had attacked the town, and there were not many devils in it, and the troops attacked very smoothly, and it was expected that the devils in the entire town would be completely cleaned up in an hour.
"Send a telegram to Wang Changhe, quickly kill the devils of Xibu, those materials that we can move, what can be used, take them, what we can't use, or what can't be moved, they will be burned, or blown up, and they can't be left to the devils, in addition, the entire army will fight before 3 o'clock in the morning, and after it is over, retreat immediately, and retreat back the way it came!" Hu Bin said.
"Just come back?" Li Dalong heard it and looked at Hu Bin in surprise.
He thought that Hu Bin would let Wang Changhe continue to stay over there, although he would not let Wang Changhe do it to defend against Xibu Hu Bin, but if he continued to stay there, he would be able to continue to fight, hide during the day and come out to fight at night!
"Gotta come back, it's windy!" Hu Bin nodded and said.
"The wind is blowing?" Li Dalong still doesn't understand, what does the wind have to do with retreating, can't you fight when the wind rises?
"The rainy season is coming soon, and there is no need for our troops to continue to stay over there, it is raining, it is not easy to fight, and it is not easy for the troops to hide, and there is no need for us to fight with the devils here, the time is not right, just warn.
Our purpose is to relieve Wei Lihuang of a little pressure, not really to fight with the devil, if I really want to fight hard, I will not go to fight Yamashita Fengwen, how good it is to fight Mandalay, go and give Wang Changhe an order, don't fall in love, take it when you see it! Got it" Hu Bin nodded and explained to Li Dalong.
"Also, now is not the time for a decisive battle. I'm going to send a telegram to Wang Changhe now! Li Dalong nodded and went out.
At this time, Hu Bin also walked outside, and when he got outside, he found that the moon was completely hidden in the clouds, and the rainy season was estimated to be these two days.
"Made, if it is best to fight Mandalay at this time, the devil's air force is useless, but it's a pity, it's not the time." Hu Bin looked at the sky and said with a sigh.
Now attacking Mandalay, although it is able to kill a lot of devils, but strategically speaking, it is going to suffer, Hu Bin hopes that the Japanese devils can fight with the British, let them consume first, China has been consumed for almost 10 years, and it is time to let the foreign devils and the real devils go together.
"Yaga!" After receiving the last telegram from Hyakutake Haruyoshi, Yamashita found that he could no longer be contacted, and he was in a hurry, and he sat in the car and quickly went to Xibu to reinforce him, hoping to hold back the Chinese troops.
"The report, still can't be contacted, it may be that there is more luck than luck. According to the last bulletin, there were less than 3,000 people left in Hyakutake Haruyoshi, and he simply couldn't hold out for long. The chief of staff looked at Yamashita and said.
"How much more time will it take for our armored brigade to arrive, we want them to hurry, if our tank troops arrive, Hu Bin's troops will not be able to stop it at all, and they may be able to rescue those wounded and a large amount of supplies hoarded over there!" Yamashita asked.
The staff officer saw it, looked at the time, and found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, so he said, "It will be about another hour."
I think we may be able to rescue the wounded, before Hyakutake Haruyoshi sent a telegram, those who could move, he gave them weapons, and then arranged in the town, ready to fight with Hu Bin's troops in the street, so as long as our armored troops arrived, there may be a chance to rescue our wounded! ”
"Yo Xi, order them to speed up and give me a heavy defeat to Hu Bin's troops." Yamashita Fengwen heard it, nodded and said with satisfaction.
"Hey!" The Chief of Staff nodded in response.
At this time, the Japanese armored troops were marching rapidly on the road to Xibu, with the tank troops of the devils in front and the truck troops behind, the entire armored brigade, with more than 100 tanks and more than 3,000 infantry, mainly fighting with the tank troops.
"Attention, the devil's tank is coming, 3 bazookas are staring at a tank, I blew up those tanks for the first time, remember to let the soldiers replace them with armor-piercing shells, Made, even a few tanks dare to rush over!" A regiment commander of the 102nd Division explained to the communications soldiers beside him.
Those communication soldiers immediately began to inform, and now the three regiments on this side are lying in ambush on the hillside on the side of the road, and the fighters carrying bazookas are ready to shoot, as soon as the devil's tank comes, they will shoot over.
"One armored brigade, can we do it with 3 regiments?" One of the regiment commanders of the 232nd Division asked suspiciously.
"Definitely, what are you afraid of, as long as we kill those tanks as soon as possible, there are not many devils behind us at all, even if there are a lot of devils, we have to eat them!" The regiment commander of the 102nd Division said with great confidence.
The regimental commander of the 232nd Division heard it and did not speak, his unit had previously been in reserve, and now it was transferred to this side to defend against the tanks coming from the east.
"There are still 3 miles of land, and there are still 3 miles of devils' tanks and the vehicles behind them have completely entered our ambush circle, Made, let you see this time, there is nothing great about having tanks, Lao Tzu has a sharp weapon for restraining tanks!" The regimental commander of the 102nd Division lay on the ground, holding a telescope and looking at the convoy in the distance. (To be continued.) )
