Chapter 571: Li He, who regrets it

In fact, compared to the proportion of casualties that he has now accounted for half of the troops before the start of the battle, the number of casualties of the Japanese troops in front of him is even more staggering. In the fierce battle at close range at night, the accuracy is not the decisive issue. Whoever has a weapon in his hand that has a fast rate of fire per unit of time will take advantage.

And Li He, who is quite self-aware, does not fight the white-knuckle battle that the Japanese army is best at. He knew that although his automatic rifle had a fast rate of fire, the body of the rifle was much shorter than the Japanese Type 38 rifle. And in terms of troops, he occupies an absolute disadvantage. If you fight a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army, which they are good at, then you can only suffer from it. Therefore, in the middle of the battle, he would rather retreat a little more than fight a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army.

As soon as the Japanese approached, they were all entertained with a dense rain of bullets. With the cooperation of the superior infantry of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, more than 300 Japanese troops participated in the battle, and the casualties reached more than 200 in half a night. Especially because of the restrictions of the terrain, the battle for the three-way courtyard could only be used to add fuel tactics, and hundreds of casualties were killed and injured at once.

It can be said that it is equivalent to a regular field squadron, fighting for this for the entire Tongliao County, but the small courtyard has been disabled. At this time, both the Japanese army in front of him and Li He, who was clinging to the courtyard that had become a ruin, all reached the end of the crossbow because of excessive blood loss.

The blood was about to drain, and the two sides whose strength had consumed the embers were just barely holding on to their tenacious willpower, just staring at each other across two small streets that were not too wide. Although they all know that the opponent's strength is running out, no one has the ability to eat the opponent completely.

In addition to the occasional rifle and machine gun fire, coupled with the occasional explosion of grenadiers from the Japanese army. Where Li He was, all the offensive and defensive battles had stopped. Except for the still dense gunfire in other directions, this is the calmest of all the battlefields in the entire Tongliao County.

And after dawn, Li He's instructor, who had not heard from him since he set off, and the third company he led finally appeared, but they appeared in the wrong place. The main force of the three companies led by him did not take advantage of the opportunity given to him by Li He to create a zào from behind the puppet Manchurian county government, but hit the puppet Manchurian Tongliao Post Office in a more southwestern direction.

In other words, the three companies brought by this instructor are a little out of the way, not to mention the distance interspersed, and they are too far away. And that's not the worst of all, the worst thing was their encounter with a Japanese mobile force at the post office. Although the Japanese troops encountered were not many, they were entangled by this Japanese army, and they could no longer continue the in-depth assault or regain the goal set by Li He for them.

Li He, who received the report, couldn't wait to give himself two big mouths in the face of this situation. The problems I used to worry about still appeared. This old man actually took the troops astray, although the puppet Manchurian county government and the Tongliao Post Office are not far away, but in the southwest direction. That is, his interspersed distance is a little too far.

Not only can he not give himself a little strategy, but he can't take care of himself at the moment, and he has to coordinate the support of friendly and neighboring troops for him. The location of the government of Tongliao County, the puppet Manchurian, is not far from its southwest. I let him go directly around and intersperse there, just to play two points to coordinate with each other.

Even the second company, which was advancing along the north street of Tongliao County from the front, attacked the puppet Manchurian county government from the north and east. At the same time, in the actual battle that is not far away, the three sides can play a role in supporting each other, responding and cooperating, and distracting the attention of the Japanese troops in front of them, so that they cannot figure out the direction of their main attack.

At the same time, disperse the enemy's defensive forces and create Zào fighters for each other's neighbors. As a result, there is such a situation now, and all the plans that I have painstakingly formulated before have completely failed. also forced himself and the remaining troops of the second company into a situation of fighting alone in disguise.

For Li He, who is under great pressure right now, this is really not good news. The only thing that still has some comfort is that the chief of staff of the division has just come to report on the battle situation, and the troops of the 53rd Regiment in the north have completely broken through the Japanese defense in the direction of the north gate. At present, he has entered Beishuncheng Street, and he is close to his original target, the puppet Manchurian County Government.

The other one, with a strength of about a company, had already reached the area of Taishan Palace, which was not far from him. Although he was unable to fight on his own for the time being because he did not know where he was, he was still relieved of his embarrassing situation.

To the south of itself, the main force of the 2nd Battalion, which had been strengthened by the division with one engineer and one reconnaissance company, had successively broken through the Japanese resistance. Along the central street and the south street go hand in hand, it has reached the position of Huichang Shengyang Bank in the center line of Tongliao County. And a considerable part of the Japanese army, step by step, compressed in the direction of the western city wall.

The most important thing is that he launched an attack along North Street, and it is also the second company with the most complete structure among the three companies in his hands, and it has now reached a distance of less than 200 meters from the puppet Manchurian Tongliao County Government. And this news is undoubtedly the best news he has received so far.

However, even when the attack was launched, the second company was fully organized and supported by recoilless guns and twelve-millimeter machine guns. But after all, there is only one company of troops, and they are also responsible for the main direction of attack with the most concentrated and well-fortified Japanese troops, and the casualties in the fierce battle last night are not light, and the current strength is already seriously insufficient. Under the desperate resistance of the Japanese army, there has been a lack of follow-up attack.

In fact, if it weren't for Li He's cold shot, he would have attracted the main strength of the Japanese army in the eastern half of the entire North Street to his side. With only one company and two companies, it will not be able to hit the current position under any circumstances. The strength of a company has such a great ability, and it really achieves such a great result in one night under the all-out resistance of the Japanese army.

Originally, according to Li He's idea, the second company was actually a feint to attract the attention of the Japanese defenders in the eastern half of North Street, so that it would be convenient for him to take the rest of his troops to intersperse behind the Japanese army. But I didn't expect that because of some mistakes in execution, the second company, which was originally a feint, was the biggest one in progress.

It's just that although the second company made rapid progress, it was limited by the limitation of its troops, and it did not completely wipe out the small group of Japanese troops behind it. Behind the second company, there were still a large number of small Japanese troops remaining. And these small remnants of Japanese troops behind them were still quite a big threat to the second company.

After hesitating for a long time, Li He finally picked up the walkie-talkie, and asked the instructor to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army in front of him at any cost, and to move closer to the second company with all his might. At any cost, Li He emphasized these words three times. As for the feelings of the instructor over there, he didn't care about it.

What he knows now is that if he doesn't find a way to increase the strength of the second company, the second company, which has already suffered more than half of the casualties after a night of hard fighting, is even in danger of being outflanked by the Japanese troops who have regrouped behind him. If it weren't for the brother troops in the north, they also hit near the puppet Manchurian Tongliao County Government, distracting the attention and strength of the Japanese army.

If the small group of Japanese troops that were scattered were too scattered, they could not be concentrated. In addition, the follow-up troops of the division have been successively marched into Tongliao City to participate in the battle, which has also attracted the attention of this part of the Japanese army. Then the second company is now not only unable to take the lead, but is already in a critical situation.

Once the second company is surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, then the plan that he had formulated before to attract the attention of the surrounding Japanese troops with the first company under his own command, and the second company and the third company, interspersed in the north and south, will be interspersed with detours and directly penetrate the Japanese army's defense core in the entire Tongliao City.

Even the impact on the entire battle situation in Tongliao City is quite fatal. The Japanese army, which was no longer a threat on the front line of North Street, could fully meet the brother troops inserted from the north. In this way, the battle situation on the north side of the entire central street will be in a stalemate, which will undoubtedly greatly delay the time and process of seizing Tongliao.

So when Li He said this, his tone was quite tough. It makes people feel that he is not communicating with his own instructors, but reprimanding his subordinates. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a trace of calmness in his mind, he would even want to directly remove the instructor from command.

Although Li He was very reluctant to do this, it was still very clear to him that the fighter plane was fleeting. The second company, which suffered more than half of the most critical casualties, could not be reinforced in a short period of time, and it might even be difficult to protect itself under the siege of the superior Japanese army. As the commander of a battalion, he could not accept that one of his companies would be wiped out in the current situation.

Putting down the microphone in his hand, Li He's intestines were about to turn blue. Knowing that the instructor had no actual experience in front-line combat command, he still agreed with his idea of following the operation of the third company. If, after the death of the commander of the third company, even if the third company is handed over to the instructor of the company, the current situation will not occur.

Experience, this is the price of lack of practical experience and strain experience. The instructor was so dogmatic that he had told him to find a reliable guide no matter what means he had. Because even if the girl in front of him is very good, after all, she has not gone through a strict political trial, and according to discipline, it is impossible for him to tell the whole interspersed plan.

And even if it is possible to provide so-called route guidance, if there is no map and it is fighting at night in an unfamiliar area, there will be deviations of one kind and another, and the results are not reliable. When it comes to actual action, it is best to find a reliable guide to lead the way. Not only can there be a lot of unjust paths, but there will be no such deviations in the implementation of the plan.

Although the instructor over there did not say the reason for the deviation, Li He still roughly guessed it. He thinks that this situation must be due to the fact that his instructor is too dogmatic to violate the discipline of the masses, and would rather go around in the dark than temporarily force a certain citizen to lead the way for him.

This veteran of himself has lost his way in the labyrinthine alley, and if he hadn't found a guide, I'm afraid he would still be wandering around there and wouldn't be able to gather the troops. What's more, the instructor who doesn't have any actual combat experience and is purely a novice on the battlefield? I'm afraid I'm even more wolf than myself.

It's just that it's too late to regret it, and the question is how to make up for the mistakes that have occurred and make up for the lost time. But now that he has died with no soldiers to send, all he can do now is to order the third company to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army in front of him and move closer to the second company with all his strength at any cost. This is the only solution to the problem that I can think of, and the only measure I can take.

But what will be the result of the implementation over there, with the previous lesson, Li He is not sure whether his deployment will be successful. Fortunately, the brother troops in the north have also hit the perimeter of the puppet Manchurian county government. The possibility of the second company being outflanked and annihilated by the Japanese army is already very small. This is probably the most fortunate thing for Li He at present.
