Chapter 1152: Regional Decisive Battle
Send the prisoners away, and then there is no need for the paratroopers to remain here.
I had been resting for several hours, and my departure was just a few minutes away. The task of the paratrooper unit has been completely completed, and now, it is a matter of taking the battlefield, leaving from the flank, returning to the rear command, and then it will be able to hand over. Once you are in the center of the battlefield, you can turn to the side and find a road to get the ground troops. After meeting with the receiving troops, there will be no more danger in the future.
But before that, he was still in the middle of the battlefield. The enemies on this battlefield are not the same, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong, and if you want to pass this battlefield safely, in addition to choosing the right direction of travel, you must also rely on the help of other combat teams.
Their intelligence is also very important for the current paratrooper units.
This side has come to an end for the time being, and on the other side, the battle on the third battlefield has not yet come to an end.
In the rear road, the original crackling gunfire has completely disappeared at this time.
The Chinese troops had completely crossed the enemy's defensive line of fire, searching the surroundings for possible enemies.
In the previous positions of the Japanese troops, only the Chinese soldiers could stand at this time, and as for the Japanese soldiers, they were all lying on the ground.
The surrounding soil was almost scorched by itself, black smoke was coming from everywhere, and the stones were all black, and many cracks and bullet holes could be seen in them.
In the position, there were red blood stains everywhere, and even blood was still flowing down the ground in some places, not being absorbed. The soldiers didn't care about the dust and sweat on their faces, and they looked for the corpses one by one, as long as they lived. Then immediately it was a shot, and there was no thought of capturing the prisoner at all.
At this time, the commander was already quite furious, and the last order given to the troops was not to leave a living mouth.
The number of enemies here is very small, at least in terms of numbers, they have an absolute advantage. But this battle was fought for several days. It's just over now, how not to make the commander go into a rage?
I don't know if I can still withstand the frontline battlefield in the past few days of delay? If there were too many casualties in front, even if he went to the position immediately, he would not be able to hold it.
Engineers are already urgently repairing the blened-out roads, and more reinforcements from the rear have already left the city and are rushing towards this side. Some of their infantry had crossed the broken road and were already moving on foot towards the front line, and the rest needed to control vehicles. Therefore, he was left behind and waited for the road to open before he could start.
Ahead, the third line of defense of the battlefield.
At this time, there was not a single shot fired on the battlefield. The battle had just ended in less than twenty minutes, and the enemy's tidal wave of offensive had just passed, and there was no harassment for the time being.
It's just that the soldiers within the defense line are already embarrassed.
After two or three days, the defensive line was shelled again. was charged again, and the casualties were quite heavy. Fortunately, there are air force units on the battlefield to seize air supremacy with the other side. so that he was not attacked by the air, otherwise he would have lost this line of defense a long time ago.
The current guard unit still has the strength of combat effectiveness, and even half of the original full strength is gone, and the rest are either dead or seriously injured. There is not a bit of combat effectiveness. The defensive power of the defense line has also begun to become flawed everywhere, and the commander can't even eat now, so he is afraid that the enemy will target which flaw and drill directly into his own defense line, then he will really be powerless.
How long can it last. He didn't know. He only knew that if the speed behind him was not a little faster, he really couldn't help it.
The supply was completely cut off last night, and the ammunition used now is all from the previous reserve, and only the machine guns of the helicopter gunships are still available, and the other weapons and ammunition have long been used up.
"Captain!"
A soldier ran quickly, and the commander turned around: "What's the matter?" ”
The soldier gasped twice, then stood up and said to him: "Commander, the enemy with the plugged mouth in the back has been annihilated!" ”
The regimental commander's eyes widened slightly, and then he shouted: "Good! ”
He turned his head, looked at the enemy's position in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Now, life will be better!" It won't be long before supplies and troops will be delivered, and as long as we hold out for one more round, the enemy won't be able to turn the sky! ”
The regiment commander turned around and asked, "How are the parts damaged?" ”
Another officer immediately said: "There are one hundred and sixty-nine men in the first battalion, and two hundred and eleven men in the second battalion. Three Battalions ......"
At this point, he paused. The regiment commander suddenly chuckled in his heart and asked, "How is the third battalion?" ”
"Three battalions...... There were only seventy-six left. ”
The head of the regiment took a deep breath.
He sat down slowly, his hands raised, and rubbed his face.
The position of the 3rd Battalion was in the center of the defensive line, and this place was the main direction of attack of the Japanese troops from the very beginning. The regimental commander placed the most sophisticated and powerful weapons in this area, which also caused considerable casualties among the enemy's attacking troops.
But on my side, the casualties are not light.
Seeing that the regiment commander was silent, the officer continued to report: "There are still 238 people in the reinforced battalion, and the rear artillery battalion is the most well-organized, with a survival rate of about 75 percent, but there are only four 122-mm guns, three 152-mm guns, and one 203-mm gun left. ”
"Hmm." The head of the regiment snorted and did not speak.
The artillery battalion is not set up in front of the defensive line, and second, it is located far behind the defensive line and is used to strike at the rear of the enemy's attacking troops, or directly hit the opponent's camp. However, after the start of the fight, this place ate a lot of enemy air force missiles. With the help of our own air force and ground radar, every air attack artillery battalion can run in a timely manner, but those bulky cannons have no way to be transported to a safe place.
Therefore, the artillery losses of the artillery battalion were much, much greater than the casualties.
Without artillery, the attack power of the artillery battalion was naturally greatly weakened, and the shelling of the next few battles could only aim at the rear of the opponent's formation for killing, and the deterrent power was naturally much smaller.
The regimental commander thought for a moment and said, "We must defend another wave of attacks. In this way, let the reinforced battalion draw out a hundred soldiers to support the third battalion, and the artillery unit also draw another fifty men to the third battalion to strengthen the defense. The rest of the people, operating eight cannons, shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”
"Yes."
The officer saluted and immediately went down to issue the order.
The troops began to move, and at the same time, the news behind it had spread in the position, and all the soldiers were also refreshed when they heard the news.
Before this, he was fighting completely alone, and there was no way out. This makes every soldier have the mentality of fighting against the water, and there is a very abnormal burst of morale. And this kind of outburst, grinding to the present, there is actually not much morale left, and many soldiers are just holding their breath to fight the enemy, and they can't see when the battle is over.
And now this news means that his reinforcements will arrive soon. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they didn't have to struggle to support them here, at least the defense line was impossible to lose again, and if possible, they even had the opportunity to counterattack the enemy. Such a piece of news naturally invisibly made everyone see the hope of victory, and the low morale gradually began to pick up.
However, after carefully understanding the situation, the soldiers also understood.
The road in the rear was blown off, and the engineers were rushing to repair it. Although some of the infantry had begun to approach, they were running on their legs, and they were not very fast. From the point of view of time, he at least had to withstand a wave of enemy attacks before he could survive the arrival of reinforcements.
The soldiers took a deep breath. At this moment, their eyes changed.
The look of giving up, which had already been a little abandoned, was now completely disappeared from the eyes of the soldiers, replaced by a fierce, fierce look.
If you hold one more attack, you will hold the line. This is the most critical final battle, and I can't afford to fall short at this time.
Even the regiment commander and the officers who had been at the command post noticed this momentum a little, and couldn't help but smile faintly.
There is hope for his lone army, and naturally everyone can burst out with stronger combat effectiveness. Reinforcements are already on the way, and surviving this last calamity is considered a victory.
However, the enemy should now know that the troops in his rear have opened the way, so this wave of offensive will definitely be more ferocious than before. Although this is his last calamity, it is not so simple to stop the enemy's attack.
In a desperate gamble, it is really possible that he will be planted on this last attack, and it is quite likely.
However, now the regiment commander can no longer draw any ground forces to strengthen the defense, and if he lands in the air, it will definitely be too late now, and the enemy's last attack will not give him more opportunities to rest, and he will soon come to his position.
The regiment commander had no other way but to connect to the rear and request more and stronger air fire support.
If you have air supremacy, then it should be a little better.
At the rear airfield, a large number of fighter jets were prepared for the final checks.
One by one, air squadrons took off and headed for the third battlefield, and the ground airfields were also full of staff, directing one fighter fighter after another to take to the air.
The third battlefield area is about to start a decisive battle, and General Wang will certainly not be able to let the enemy break through his own defense line at this last pass. At this time, most of his attention was put on the third battlefield, and the army and air force gathered the maximum number of troops they could to support the third battlefield.
Now the third battlefield is the first turning point of the whole battle. Victory or defeat will have a very important impact on the future battle situation. (To be continued......)
