Chapter 816 Take the initiative
When Wei Lihuang answered Gan Lichu's call, the person was silent, he was thinking, what should I do in this situation now!
"Commander, Commander!" When Gan Lichu was talking over there, she heard that there was no movement on the other side, and immediately shouted.
"I'm listening, do you have any good ideas over there now?" Wei Lihuang asked.
"There is no good way, there are many devil troops, even if we quickly kill the devils in front of us, there will still be devils coming behind, I estimate that on our side alone, the devils may have mobilized more than 600,000 troops! With so many troops, we can't fight for it!
Now the devil just wants to annihilate us, as long as we are completely annihilated, then Hu Bin's troops can only retreat, and when the time comes, the devil's army peak will be directed at our southwest border! Gan Lichu said.
"I know, you resist first, I'll find a way, there must be a way!" Wei Lihuang said.
"Commander, you have to hurry up and find a way, our side will also find a way!" Gan Lichu said anxiously on the phone.
"Good!" Wei Lihuang nodded and said.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Lihuang immediately opened his mouth and said to the staff officer: "Answer the call of Commander Zhang Zhen of the 56th Army!" ”
"Yes!" The staff officer next to him nodded, picked up the phone and dialed, while Wei Lihuang stood there with a frown, thinking about what Gan Lichu said just now, this matter really has to be solved quickly, otherwise the devil will really do this.
"Commander, it's connected!" When Wei Lihuang was thinking, the staff officer next to him took the phone receiver and handed it to Wei Lihuang.
"I'm Wei Lihuang!" Wei Lihuang took the phone and said.
"Commander, I'm Zhang Zhen, please instruct!" Zhang Zhen said over there.
"How are the casualties on your side, are you tired?" Wei Lihuang asked with great concern.
"Hey! Commander, I was about to report to you, this battle is so aggrieved, the devils don't care about casualties at all, they have been lying in front of the position and shooting at us, it is now night, and our firepower advantage cannot be brought into play.
Although we have killed a lot of devils, our casualties are also very large, more than 7,000 casualties, according to the devil's way of playing, we can't hold out for a month, it's difficult for a week! Zhang Zhen heard Wei Lihuang's words, and immediately poured bitter water for Wei Lihuang.
"I know, Lao Gan's side is the same, our side will find a way, you still continue to hold your position, don't let the devil attack you!" Wei Lihuang said.
"Don't worry about this, if the devil wants to break through our position today, it's impossible!" Zhang Zhen said immediately.
"Okay, let's do it first!" Wei Lihuang hung up the phone, and then walked back and forth in the command center with his hands behind his back.
"Commander, what's wrong, something is wrong at the front?" Du Liming saw Wei Lihuang like this, walked over and asked.
"Well, there's something wrong at the front!" Wei Lihuang heard it, nodded, and told him about the situation.
When Du Liming heard it, he didn't feel good.
"Commander, the devils fight like this, we look like we are taking advantage, but in fact we have suffered a big loss, they have enough troops, and most of those troops are not Japanese, they dare to fight like this, we can't fight like this!" Du Liming said to Wei Lihuang.
"Let's figure it out! It can't be fought like this, now it's still 2 lines of defense, and if the other lines of defense are like this, we won't be able to hold out for a few days! Wei Lihuang nodded and said.
Du Liming heard it, nodded, and stopped talking, it was indeed troublesome.
And for about an hour, the second wave of the devil's attack came, and it was not surprising that it was still like this, although the defending troops did kill many devils, but the casualties of the defending troops were not small.
At dawn, a statistic showed that the 56th Army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, and the 6th Army also suffered more than 11,000 casualties.
"Report, Commander Wei's telegram!" A staff officer took a telegram and arrived at Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin had just gotten up, and today the troops were going to officially attack the devil's position, so Hu Bin got up early, afraid that something would go wrong at the front line, he didn't expect that the first telegram was actually sent by Wei Lihuang.
Hu Bin took the telegram and looked at it carefully.
"Made, Okamura Ninji, it's really like this!" Hu Bin finished reading the telegram and scolded in a low voice.
At this time, Li Dalong entered the headquarters from the outside, and saw Hu Bin standing there, holding a telegram in a daze, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The devil is playing tricks, but, I have to say, very effective!" Hu Bin gave the telegram to Li Dalong and spoke, and Li Dalong took the telegram and looked at it.
"Fighting like this, Wei Lihuang's troops can't stop it for a few days? It's dangerous! Li Dalong finished reading the telegram, looked at Hu Bin and said.
Hu Bin nodded and said: "Not only can they not withstand it for a few days, but we also can't withstand it for a few days, the devils fight like this, consume first, and then force us to fight a decisive battle, and finally kill them, he Okamura Ningji relies on his own troops, regardless of casualties!" ”
"Well, then there is no way, Wei Lihuang sent you this telegram, which shows that he has no way!" Li Dalong nodded, looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"We must let Wei Lihuang form an attack corps, take the initiative to attack during the day, use air superiority, and cover the attack of ground troops, and at the same time, the bombers in the sky must also be dispatched to bomb, don't let the devils get close to our defensive positions! However, this can only be delayed, and I don't know how long it can be delayed. Hu Bin shook his head and said, now he doesn't have a very effective way.
"It's the only way to go, let the air force force destroy as many devil troops as possible during the day, if you can't get them together, it's the best." Li Dalong nodded and said.
"Send him a telegram to the past, and at the same time let the air force units cooperate with them in the fight, and bomb wherever they can, but I think our side must be more troublesome.
Since the devils really adopted this style of play, the casualties on our side will really be controlled, and if the devils catch us, they dare not delay time, and secondly, they dare not have big casualties, and they will stick to us even more. Hu Bin said to Li Dalong.
"Well, send a telegram to the troops on the front line, and tell them to pay attention." Li Dalong nodded, he was worried that according to this style of play, the Chinese troops would indeed suffer.
At this time, on the Nay Pyi Duo front, Xiang Feng's troops also got up early, and the armored troops were checking their tanks and making sure that the vehicle's ammunition and fuel were sufficient before going to eat, while the infantry was also checking their weapons and ammunition.
Li Qinwei is the same, at this time Li Qinwei looked at the Dagong defense line in the distance, there are not many devils in this defense line, that is, about 60,000 people, but the fortifications are permanent fortifications, there are many pillboxes and bunkers, pillboxes are easy to fight, just use artillery and fighters, bombers to fight, but those bunkers are not easy to fight, difficult to find.
"Report, telegram from the Air Force, support planes have taken off." A staff officer took a telegram to Li Qinwei and said.
"Well, are the artillery ready?" Li Qinwei nodded and spoke.
"It's ready!" The staff officer nodded.
Li Qinwei heard it, looked at his watch, and said, "Order the troops, and leave on time at 8 o'clock." The 244th Infantry Division sent a brigade to follow the Panzer Division! Li Qinwei said.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately left and went to call the one in front.
At 7:50, the roar of an airplane engine was heard in the sky, and the soldiers on the ground saw it and looked up at the plane in the sky.
"Our plane!" The soldiers saw it and said with a smile.
The plane quickly passed through them and headed straight for the devil's position.
As soon as they arrived there, they began to bomb the positions of the devils, mainly to bomb out a few passages and let the tanks rush over, and the other was to aim at the pillboxes and drop heavy bombs to blow up the pillboxes.
"Assemble, assemble, quick!" As the soldier was watching, he suddenly heard his company commander shouting.
When the soldiers heard this, they took their weapons and began to assemble, and as soon as they had finished assembling their books, their company commander told them to set off, following the tanks.
At this time, their position was still several kilometers away from the devil's position, and they were going to walk over, follow those tanks, and now the tanks were deployed in front, and then followed by a string of infantry, and the planes in the sky were still bombing at this time, bombing the devils.
Now the devils on the position are all in the bomb shelter, as long as they don't get hit by a bombshell, they will be fine, if they get a bombshell, then they will be unlucky, and if they don't blow up, they will be shocked to death inside.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The devil's position is still exploding.
At this time, in the headquarters of the devils, the commander of this side, Kobayashi Takezo, was holding a telescope and looking at the Chinese troops in the distance.
"It's coming!" Kobayashi Takezo said softly.
"Report, Chinese infantry is coming, it is expected that they will attack in 20 minutes!" A staff officer came over and said to Kobayashi Takezo.
"Don't let our troops enter the trenches so quickly, the Chinese artillery units will definitely bombard!" Takezo Kobayashi said to the staff officer.
"Hey!" The staff officer nodded when he heard it.
"Send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, the Chinese troops have launched an attack on our defense line!" Kobayashi Takezo said to the other chief of staff beside him. (To be continued.) )
