Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 354 Flanking from both sides
What will be the result of the counterattack, you don't need to think about it.

Batch after batch of stubborn soldiers rushed up and were beaten back in batches, and batches of soldiers fell in the process.

Even the devils wondered why these Chinese troops launched such a senseless attack. They could clearly hide in fortifications and mountains to cause more trouble for the imperial army.

Do they think this can stop the advance of the imperial army?

Soon, the commander of the first theater realized that this tactic was very wrong.

It's just that at this time, the frontline troops had suffered more than [-] casualties, and some troops were even beaten and collapsed and began to flee in all directions.

So, the commander issued another order: "Stay where you are, don't retreat half a step, or you will be shot to death!"

But there are already many troops at large on the front line, and this order has become nonsense before it is issued.

The commander had no choice but to add an order: "Withdraw to the mountains and deal with the enemy!"

Three orders were issued intensively in a short period of time, but they did not consider that the communication equipment in Zhongtiao Mountain was insufficient and the signal was not good, so some troops were counterattacking, some were stationing, some were retreating, some were fleeing, some were then just surrender...

Before the enemy's ground offensive officially started, Zhongtiao Mountain was already in chaos.

Devils usually don't attack at night, but Zhongtiao Mountain is an exception.

There is no other reason. Devils like to attack during the day to take advantage of their equipment, and Zhongtiao Mountain is not suitable for bombing with planes and artillery, let alone tanks.

Since these equipments are useless in the first place, there is no need to be obsessed with attacking during the day.

On the contrary, only infantry can be used to attack and the infantry is attacking the enemy's bunkers and fortifications, but the night can be used as a cover for the infantry.

What's more, the devils also sent a large number of mainland advance teams and puppet troops to sneak into Zhongtiao Mountain to launch an infiltration war... Although the puppet army is not effective in combat, it is very powerful for infiltration warfare.

This is because it is not easy to cultivate the Guizi Continental Advancement Team. From language to living habits, it will take several years to be flawless.

And the puppet army...the language and habits don't need training at all, just throw it to the opposite side and it will be a stubborn army that is fake.

If there is any difficulty, it is that the puppet army is timid and the mission is extremely dangerous.

In this regard, the method given by the devils is "heavy rewards", as long as they are willing to participate in the infiltration war to fight for a thousand oceans, if there is a result, they will be rewarded with a thousand oceans for killing each person.

At that time, the value of Dayang was that 100 yuan could buy a big cow.

With two thousand oceans, you don't have to worry about life for the rest of your life. Of course, some people are willing to take the risk for a lifetime.

(Note: It is said in the documentary that the devils invested in the airborne troops in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan. This should be wrong. Further discuss this issue in the comment area)
How can the stubborn army stand the devil's combination of infiltration warfare and frontal attack? In less than two hours since the devil launched the attack, the commander of the first theater lost control of the seven armies... At this time, the troops stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain There are a total of 7 armies with about 11 people.

The so-called "loss of control" means that the order cannot be communicated to the target force, or even if the order is communicated to the target force, it cannot be effectively implemented.

The devil's attack force was only three divisions and more than 5 people.

This surprised the commander secretly. To him, the devil's combat power was extremely terrifying, almost invincible.

At this moment, Guo Baizhou handed over a telegram with a look of shock, saying: "Commander, the devil's two airports were bombed by the Eighth Route Army one after another. Its [-] planes, pilots, ground crews, etc. killed thousands of people!"

The commander raised his head in astonishment, and then laughed: "Chief of Staff Guo, I'm afraid this is a fake news from the Eighth Route Army! With the strength of the Eighth Route Army, I will believe it if we hit Prime Minister Bei, but hit Yuncheng..."

He smiled and shook his head as he spoke.

Did the Devils Airport explode as soon as they said it would explode?

If it was so easy, it would have been bombed several times by the Fifth Army.

"Commander!" Guo Baizhou replied sternly: "This matter is absolutely true! Our military agents have confirmed this information, and the flames of the devil's Yuncheng and Beixiang airports can be seen from more than ten miles away!"

The commander's smile stagnated, and then the brows on his forehead frowned.

The defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain have been defeated so far, but the Eighth Route Army has won a complete victory. Doesn't this embarrass our army?
Thinking about it, the commander immediately ordered: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't tell anyone about it!"

Guo Baizhou's face was a little unnatural, he didn't expect the commander to think about these things at this moment!
But this is actually very normal, because this is the thinking of warlords. What they think is not "brothers play on the wall and keep outside". What they think is that it is normal to lose to the enemy, but it is absolutely impossible to lose to your own people!
Then the commander ordered: "Order the Ninth Army to immediately withdraw to the Yellow River to build a ferry, and restore the Yellow River shipping as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Guo Baizhou stood up and answered.

This is also his idea, and the restoration of the logistics transportation line is the most important thing at this time.

It's just that Guo Baizhou didn't expect that what the commander restored was not a "logistics transportation line" at all, but an escape route for the garrison in Zhongtiao Mountain.

The news of the bombing of the airport also reached the Taiyuan First Army headquarters.

Neiji Okamura dropped the pen he was holding on to the ground when he heard the news.

"They..." Neiji Okamura's tone was soft at first, and then he suddenly roared: "How could these guys break into the airport? What are our troops doing?"

Shinozuka Yoshio replied: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, they didn't break into the airport!"

"Then why..." Neiji Okamura had just said this, and immediately realized the problem, and then he slumped on the chair and said weakly: "'Spray into the bomb', is it 'Spray into the bomb'?"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied: "They suddenly fired a large number of 'jet shells' towards the airport a few kilometers away. Although these shells are not accurate. But there are enough of them, and our army's aircraft are too dense, so... ..."

Neiji Okamura stopped Yoshio Shinozuka from continuing, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, and couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.

Neiji Okamura had never suffered such a disastrous defeat in his military career, and the defeat was so complete, and what was worse...he was still powerless against the enemy.

For example, this time, the Eighth Route Army bombed the airport with "jet bombs"... This is also a good tactic. Suddenly, a large number of "jet bombs" are fired at the airport. As long as one plane can be blown up, it is a victory.

However, can the empire develop "jet bombs" because of this?

No, because the Eighth Route Army and even Chongqing don’t have many aircraft, so what can they do with the development of “jet bombs”?
Can the empire defend against "jet bombs"?

That's something that pops up out of nowhere. To use the Chinese words to describe it, it's "It's easy to hide a spear with a bright gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow."

"Spray into the bomb" is undoubtedly this difficult backstab.

After thinking about it, Okamura Ningji gritted his teeth and ordered: "Occupy Zhongtiao Mountain as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied.

He understood Neiji Okamura's anger.

Neji Okamura was eager to end the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, not to vent his anger on the Chongqing army, but to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army after the Zhongtiaoshan Battle.

At that time, it was a double attack from the front and the flanks.
