Chapter 149: Still Waiting!

Just when the Japanese puppet army in the defensive position heard that their own artillery units in the rear began to counterattack, they felt relieved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info suddenly found that at the front of their position, a large number of attacking infantry suddenly appeared.

These raiders, who rushed to the forward positions, did not even give them much time to react. Looking at these assault infantry armed with submachine guns and light machine guns, as well as capable of holding thirty rounds, it was impossible to defend against each other.

Moreover, experienced old devils, from the tactical actions of the Eighth Route Army that these raids on the position, it can be seen that this is a group of enemies they have never come into contact with, and they are very elite and have extremely rich combat experience.

In the face of this kind of very elite enemy who has never been in contact with it, not to mention those frightened puppet troops, even the Japanese troops with combat experience and well-trained positions were also defeated by the special division assault force.

One after another, the trenches were taken by the assaulting Eighth Route Army, and the guards were killed on the positions. Before the subsequent reinforcements arrived, the defensive line of the forward position was declared broken, leaving the defenders in the rear equally stunned.

'Yaga! Why are these eight-way attacks so powerful! Aren't they a bunch of cavalry? When the cavalry fights an offensive battle, it can be so powerful. What the hell is going on here? ’

Some little devil officers couldn't help but sigh like this. But just when they lamented that the attack of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, the Sharp Arrow Brigade, which had not been addicted to fighting before, soon received an order from Li Xiangdong.

Accompanied by the six rocket vehicles of the Sharp Arrow Brigade, the current was once again turned on, and one rocket after another rose into the air, heading straight for the Japanese artillery position with the momentum of thunder. This scene also fell into the eyes of the Japanese puppet army on the front line and the attacking Eighth Route Army.

Many of the Eighth Route Army, who didn't know that there was such a killer weapon in the troops, were really shocked when they saw such a fierce artillery attack: "Oh my God! This is how many cannons are firing movements, and the blow is too dense! ”

On the other hand, some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army said happily: "Haha, this little devil's artillery has suffered." I really didn't expect that the headquarters would dispatch so many heavy artillery. It seems that our army will win this battle! ”

Compared with the jubilant side of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese puppet army as the defensive side was a little frustrated and shocked. Looking at the meteor-like shells, which set off bursts of explosions in the rear artillery positions, it became clear that their artillery unit was finished.

But this is not the end, Li Xiangdong considered that the Japanese artillery positions were limited, and only used half of the Sharp Arrow rocket artillery vehicles, and the remaining six artillery vehicles were still on standby.

After all, compared to others who only saw the powerful striking ability of rocket artillery vehicles, Li Xiangdong learned from He Zhengdao that the cost of these rockets was not cheap. Every time you shoot an extra shell, it costs money to make it!

It can save a little bit, anyway, half of the rocket artillery vehicles of the Sharp Arrow Brigade are enough to destroy the Japanese artillery fire that counterattacked before. If the little devils still have artillery and don't use it together, the remaining half of the brigade can shoot out shells at any time.

Knowing that the artillery positions on the front line were covered by the deadly artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese commanders who stayed in the rear to learn the news also felt incredible. But he knew that this time the Eighth Route Army was afraid that it was going to be serious!

In fact, after the rocket artillery of the Sharp Arrow Brigade counterattacked, the artillery unit of the Second Column, which had previously stopped shelling, and another artillery regiment immediately launched an artillery bombardment of another Japanese position, cooperating with the infantry to carry out a breakthrough battle.

Relying on this method of suppressing one position after another with firepower, the special divisions that served as the main attack also began to attack the defensive blocking positions set up by the defenders of Tongliao on the front line one after another. For a time, the situation in the entire Tongliao instantly became critical.

Receiving a telegram from the front again asking for help, Miro Umeji, who was staying in the rear, also felt incredible. In his opinion, the movements of these Eighth Route Army were too fast, and before the war in the Chaoyang area ended, they began to attack Tongliao again.

Looking at the offensive actions of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that they want to take advantage of the emptiness of our army's strength to break through the defensive and blocking positions set up by our army on the periphery. From this point of view, these Eighth Route Armies are indeed worthy of our attention. ’

Listening to Mei Xianji's words, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency Commander, but at present, the elite troops of our army are concentrated in the Nomenhan area to fight with the Soviet army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to retreat."

And judging from the overall situation of the battle at present, the number of casualties of our army is much higher than that of the other side. Although our troops also destroyed many tanks and planes of the Soviet army, their own losses were also not small.

If this war cannot be ended in a short time, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that our losses will be even greater. Is it to send a telegram to the Cabinet of Ministers to see if it is possible to temporarily suspend the confrontation with the Soviet troops? ”

Regarding the chief of staff's suggestion, Mei Jijimiro shook his head directly and said: "This is not possible at all!" Judging from the current overall international situation, the purpose of the Soviet army's large-scale invasion of our defense zone is to make us submit.

At the moment it is not easy for us to hold on, and I think the same is true on the part of the Soviet army. Speaking of which, this may really be in response to an old Chinese saying, the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. I think the Eighth Route Army must have seen this and dared to mobilize the people in such a way.

Otherwise, with only their small strength, would they dare to attack our defense area in such a big way? Perhaps, if the Eighth Route Army dares to take such a bold risk, there must be the support of the Soviet Army behind it, hoping that the two sides will force us to submit.

And the ministers in the cabinet, although they know that the current situation is not good for us. But if they admit defeat so easily, God knows what harsh conditions the Soviet Union will propose. Therefore, this battle will continue! ”

Although Mei Xinji Miro has already seen that both the Japanese side and the Soviet side want to end this battle as soon as possible. But generals on both sides know that whoever wins on the battlefield will win more negotiating benefits for their own countries.

It is precisely because of this understanding that no one dares to give up lightly. After all, defeat is a hard thing for any general to accept. And both armies are in the country, more or less extremely influential.

If that side declares defeat, then the commander of this force will inevitably become a scapegoat. At least for Umeji, he didn't want to be a scapegoat like that.

So for Zhukov, who hopes to use this battle to revive the prestige of the Soviet army and his own influence. He didn't know that once he commanded the troops to lose the battle against the Kwantung Army, then the fate that awaited Zhukov would inevitably be liquidated.

A loser is not worthy of sympathy in the army. Coupled with the current complicated situation in the Soviet Union and the army, Zhukov did not want to be a loser, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would strive to win.

No matter how many troops are lost, as long as they are victorious on the battlefield. Then for those at the top, he is a victor, a military general who has made outstanding contributions to the country.

In this way, even if someone still wants to attack his idea, he must also consider the opinions of the people. For any victor, the people will worship and trust. This is sometimes a talisman for being a high-ranking general.

How the Kwantung Army responded, He Zhengdao actually didn't care. For today's Northeast Field Army, except for the four columns that are still developing and accumulating strength in a low-key manner, the remaining three columns have already fought one after another.

At least judging from the current results, the results of the reorganization of the Northeast Field Army are still very satisfactory to the Yan'an side. Not to mention recovering some occupied areas, it also advanced the offensive of the troops further to the northeastern hinterland.

Just when He Zhengdao was paying attention to the front-line war, a telegram sent by the Fourth Column asking for war made He Zhengdao look a little angry. said bluntly: "These people, the good days have not passed for a few days, why don't they know how thick the sky is!" ”

In the face of the telegram sent by the Fourth Column requesting war, as well as a battle plan, He Zhengdao also felt that it was a little too taken for granted after reading it. After all, the position of the four columns is actually called the encirclement of the Eastern Army on all four sides.

In this case, if there is no foreign aid support, the Fourth Column will launch a campaign to recover Benxi and Dandong. Even if they defeat the two places in a short period of time, I believe that they will not be able to hold it in the end, but they will expose their own strength.

Thinking of this consequence, He Zhengdao immediately said: "Draft a telegram and tell me the column leaders of the Fourth Column." The battle to regain the northeast has just begun, and they don't need to be in such a hurry to organize any campaign to regain lost territory.

Regarding the enthusiasm of their four columns of officers and soldiers, Noji expressed his understanding and gratification. But for the order of the four verticals, it remains the same. If anyone dares to send troops without the order of the noji, whoever takes the lead will be punished.

At present, how long has the army just been reorganized, has the new and veteran cooperation reached tacit understanding and integration? Fooling around, I really thought that the troops had regained a little strength, so I thought about expanding the territory, what was I doing in such a hurry? ”

When this telegram was sent to the Fourth Column, Hu Youliang, who had already returned to the Fourth Column, said directly: "Commander-in-Chief Yang, I said a long time ago that the commander would not agree to our easy battle. Our situation here is a little different from that in Kannai.

Although with our current troops, we have the ability to recover places like Benxi and Dandong. But after recovering these lost territories, we need to send troops to garrison them, and we need to form a democratic government. None of this is realistic for us at this stage.

Once the Kwantung Army is provoked, they can also draw a large number of reinforcements from the Korean side. At that time, if the troops in the pass cannot support in time, how long can we hold out with only one column? ”

Such words made Yang Jingyu also seem a little silent. But after half a ring, he still sighed: "It seems that I am in too much of a hurry!" It's just that the people outside the gate have been waiting for the news of our victory for too long! ”

A sincere sentence made Hu Youliang feel it. It's just that Hu Youliang knows better that He Zhengdao is in the next big move. And the identity of the four verticals in this big move is actually very important, but all this still needs to wait!
