War of Resistance

Chapter 1419 World War I Changsha (42)
At this moment, when the machine guns of the national army rang out, the soldiers of the Japanese army who were lying on the ground to shoot at the national army troops finally started to play their role. They began to aim at the machine gunners and shoot!
"boom!!"

"boom!!"

"Tut, chug, chug..."

When the gunshots rang out, and the light machine guns of the Japanese army were also firing, the firepower of the national army suddenly stagnated.

Fortunately, just as the Japanese army's machine guns sounded, the officers and soldiers of the national army finally began to counterattack, crackling, and it was very lively for a while.

And the officers and soldiers led by Lu Shaojie just arrived at the position at this time.

"Battalion Commander, why are you here?" Lin Jianda asked Lu Shaojie.

"The little devil's artillery fire should also be prepared, ready to avoid the Japanese artillery fire!" Lu Shaojie said in a deep voice.

"Ah? The Japanese army is about to start bombardment, sir, hurry up and retreat to the rear!" Lin Jianda persuaded Lu Shaojie.

"Don't worry! This bit of artillery fire can't blow me up. These little devils can't move on." Lu Shaojie smiled.

At this time, with the addition of active forces, the firepower of the Japanese army has also weakened, because their casualties are also increasing!
Yes, there were also casualties among the national army, but after all, they occupied a favorable location, and their firepower was even stronger than that of the Japanese army. Under such circumstances, it was actually very difficult for the Japanese army to take advantage of it.

Seeing this situation, even Ikeda Yongxin, who is very stubborn, had to directly give the order to suspend the attack-he is not stupid, the enemy's firepower is so fierce, even if he orders the troops to continue to attack, it will not help Yes, instead of sending people to die, it is better to wait for artillery support!
……

"Reporting to your Excellency, the commander of the division, the Eighth Regiment's attack has been frustrated. The enemy troops have annihilated our division's troops that invaded Changle Town, and they have dispatched artillery units. Their firepower is still very fierce. The commander of the Eighth Regiment requests Your Excellency, division commander, can approve the artillery support!" A Japanese lieutenant officer ran to the No.13 division commander, Tanaka Shizuichi, and reported.

"What's the opinion of the head of the Onitsuka brigade?" Tanaka Shizuichi asked.

"Reporting to your Excellency, division commander, the commander of the Onitsuka Brigade means to agree to the request of the Eighth Regiment, and if possible, ask the division commander to mobilize the aviation unit to bomb Changle Town!" Zhong Zuohui reported.

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuichi thought for a while, and said, "I agree with the request from the head of the Onitsuka Brigade and the Eighth Regiment, and immediately call the Aviation Department of the No. 11 Army Headquarters!"

"Hay!!" The Zhong Zuo Li responded rightly.

Looking at the various signs on the map, Tanaka Jingyi was actually not at peace, because he knew that his troops might have hit an iron plate.

The No.13 Division originally had congenital defects compared to other divisions. In a series of battles such as the Wuhan Battle, its vitality was seriously injured. Although it has barely made up for it now, the combat effectiveness of the troops has declined seriously. The objective situation still exists.

Based on such a series of internal reasons, plus the fact that the national army dispatched four divisions to drag them, on average, one of their infantry regiments will face one division of the Chinese army to fight.

If they were facing Chinese troops with weak combat power like the Sichuan Army, perhaps they would have dealt with it quite easily, but now, they are facing the direct descendants of the Central Army, and their logistics and other aspects are not as good as the sixth. Division, their difficulties will be exaggerated!

Therefore, for various reasons, Tanaka Jingyi hopes that her troops can tear a hole in Changle Town, and then go directly south from the gap in Changle Street, forming a mutual echo with the Sixth Division headquarters!
……

The retreat of the Japanese army did not make Lu Shaojie very happy. On the contrary, he frowned tightly as he watched the Japanese soldiers retreating in an orderly manner.

"Battalion Commander, the little devil just withdrew like this, do you think there will be fraud?" Lin Jianda, the company commander, directly asked Lu Shaojie beside him.

"There must be fraud. This time they dispatched more than 300 people to attack. This is already a full squadron of theirs. Besides, their firepower is not weaker than ours. They immediately attacked after only losing more than a hundred people. Retreat, this is not a good signal in itself!" Lu Shaojie analyzed.

"Then battalion commander, what should we do?" Lin Jianda asked.

After rolling his eyes a few times, Lu Shaojie said, "Get out of Changle Town immediately, by the way, don't forget to bring our wounded and guns!"

"Yes! Sir!" Lin Jian replied.

Soon, after this round of confrontation, the officers and soldiers of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]st Guard Regiment remaining in Changle Town withdrew from Changle Town with their own wounded and the weapons of the headquarters.

That's right, this is also the "good tradition" that Zhang Tianhai brought to the security forces of the Ninth War Zone - because in Zhang Tianhai's view, his own weapons and equipment are quite sophisticated, if they are reserved for friendly troops or enemy troops, That is an absolutely great loss!

It is also the implementation of a little thought that makes the guards of the ninth theater always recover their combat effectiveness in a very short period of time in several battles.

why?In fact, after a thorough study, the formation of an army is mainly inseparable from two aspects: one is well-trained soldiers, and the other is weapons.

For Zhang Tianhai and others, given China's poor and weak strength today, if the soldiers are gone, he can train again, and those are elite soldiers; but if the weapons are lost, it will be quite troublesome to replace them. that's it.

Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, and Li Yinglun captured and recovered weapons through previous battles, so although the security forces of the Ninth Theater had lost weapons in previous battles, they were definitely "profitable" in terms of overall scale.

……

"Commander, almost all the troops of the First Battalion have withdrawn from Changle Town, do you think it's not appropriate?" Guo Qiliang, the acting head of the first security regiment, asked Zhang Tianhai.

"What could be inappropriate? I think it is very appropriate. I know the strength of the first battalion. It is the strongest battalion-level unit in the entire army, and the quality of the soldiers is also very strong. The little devil wants to beg for it under their hands." Cheap, I guess it is unlikely. They are withdrawing now to prevent the next round of large-scale bombing and attack by the Japanese army." The corners of Zhang Tianhai's mouth rose slightly, showing a slight smile.

Zhang Tianhai knew that if his troops suffered a loss, they would never be as calm and unhurried as they are now, and they would definitely run out with no armor.

"If the Japanese army took advantage of the chaos to occupy Changle Town, wouldn't our troops have to make great efforts to recapture it?" Guo Qiliang frowned slightly, obviously he was a little worried.

"Don't worry! After several bombings by our army and the Japanese army, Changle Town will not have too many strong buildings for them to garrison. What's more, we fight because we can win and save Do you want to fight with the purpose of strength? As long as our troops are still there, it will not be a problem when we take back Changle Town." Zhang Tianhai smiled, obviously already very confident.
