All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 178, Countermeasures after defeat
"It's a beautiful fight, as expected, the direct assault of the chariot is the essence!"

Tokutaro Junjing witnessed the chariot troops rushing to the Eighth Route Army's position and exclaimed loudly.

The chariot troops made a roundabout attack, easily disrupting the formation of the Eighth Route Army, leading the first and second infantry brigades that were flanked on the road, and split the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, not only the previous dilemma can be solved.

It is still a trick to turn against the customer, and the eight roads that were divided and cut off the connection have now become a piece of meat on his lips.

Now you can vent your anger.

Tokutaro Juni gave instructions to his subordinates with great interest: "Order the third infantry brigade to attack the right wing and cooperate with the chariot troops to destroy the remnants of the enemy."

"Order the artillery squadron to carry out a heavy bombardment of the enemy's left flank position and suppress its possible support."

The firepower of this Eighth Route Army was unusually fierce, and the sneak attack at the beginning caused great losses to the tank troops.

The loss when attacking the eight-way position later was not as much as before.

It is right to wipe out part of its vitality and give it a serious injury, and to revenge and vent its evil spirit.

But don't be carried away by hatred.

Shinagawa Ryuji reminded Tokutaro: "Don't forget, our mission is to capture the Eighth Route Armory by surprise, not to destroy an unknown Eighth Route main force."

Juni Tokutaro is not a young man, he has already passed the age of impulsiveness.

Facing the reminder from his colleagues, he nodded: "I understand, we have wiped out the enemies on the right wing, and we will continue to set off when the road is cleared."

One is the elite infantry wing under the Class A division, and the other is the rare tank teaching brigade.

Two elites serving the Eight Route Army and one main group?

At present, there is no one worthy of it, and the [-]nd Regiment must not be taken seriously by them.

Even if he is the veteran main force of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

There is only the arsenal, the large arsenal that can arm the Eighth Route Army once a year.

The arsenal with the most advanced weapon manufacturing machinery.

Compared with it, let alone one main force group, even if ten main force groups are bundled together, they are just a drop in the bucket.

……

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

When the news of the victory of the [-]nd Regiment's first ambush came.

The deputy chief of staff read the entire telegram in a cadence, and said beamingly: "The [-]nd Regiment is indeed an old army. Let's lay an ambush first and give the enemy a blow."

He directly gave a conclusion: "I think this blocking battle should be stable."

Master Liu had a smile on his face. The [-]nd Regiment belonged to the [-]th Division. He was naturally happy that his troops had won the battle.

Well, he still had worries in his mind.

A new piece of information was revealed in the telegram, that there was actually an extra tank unit attacking together.

Why hasn't this information been heard before?

Not even a bit of news came back, and the intelligence department was more or less responsible for the poor intelligence collection.

Of course, now is not the time for accountability.

Commander Liu is more worried about how many variables will be added to this blocking battle with the appearance of tank troops.

When the difference in weapons between the infantry and the two sides is not large, the battle will evolve into a trench shooting similar to World War I.Any attacking party must bear the firepower of the enemy.

There are two solutions.

Use powerful firepower to bombard the position, destroy the personnel and weapon fortifications on the position, and cover the infantry assault.

Or it is a sideways detour, forming a two-sided attack to break through the position.

The [-]nd Regiment was not weaker than the Japanese army in all aspects, and had relatively rich experience in commanding such battles. Commander Liu believed that the command and combat team of the [-]nd Regiment could handle it.

But more tanks are different.

The Japanese army did not use tanks on a large scale in Shanxi operations before, and the Eighth Route Army has always lacked experience in fighting tanks.

The New Second Regiment under the command of Kong Jie once fought in Toudaogou.

Using the rocket launcher to cover, the rocket launcher's precise strike and destruction achieved a record of destroying all twelve tanks.

Can the [-]nd Regiment reproduce that battle?

According to the existing intelligence, the Japanese army has a large number of tanks. Will the [-]nd Regiment not have enough bazookas?
In short, Master Liu was worried that the [-]nd Regiment would not be commanded properly.

In the event of a mistake, casualties are one aspect, but there will be a big hole to make up for after the key.

After thinking about it, he still expressed his concern and asked someone to send a telegram to remind him.

The boss quite agreed with his opinion, but he still praised the [-]nd regiment fiercely, adding praise to the content of the telegram.

Motivate them to keep going.

The boss thought of Chen Hao who had already rested, and called a correspondent to inform him:
"Hearing that he won this kind of battle, I guess he can sit up excitedly."

Master Liu immediately smiled and echoed: "He is a person who enjoys the battle in his bones, and he is more excited than anyone else when it comes to war."

The deputy chief of staff nodded approvingly.

This was also the reason why they tacitly held Chen Hao back to prevent him from going to the frontline.

What is needed on the battlefield is extra calm, Wen Zhan Zexi is not invulnerable, if you are too impulsive, you will easily suffer.

The key is not to let Chen Hao appear in any danger.

Fortunately, he listens to persuasion, if that kind of stubborn donkey...it would be a headache to think about.

Not long after, Chen Hao, who had heard the news, rushed over more energetically.

"I heard that the Seventh Seventh Regiment beat up the vanguard of the Sixth Division?" His tone was full of lightness.

The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army is no fun, no matter who is fighting, Chen Hao will help out.

He got an affirmative answer from the deputy chief of staff.

Chen Hao immediately said: "Well played, I remember that the [-]nd Regiment seems to have changed half of their outfits, right? A unit with combat effectiveness like this should enjoy better treatment."

He almost made it clear that he wanted to equip the [-]nd Regiment.

It's just that the weapons and equipment brought by Chen Hao have already been distributed, and there is not much to distribute in the warehouse of the logistics department.

It's rare for him to make some comments, and the boss must find a way to satisfy them.

The boss slowly said: "A treasured sword is equipped with a hero. Naturally, good weapons should be given priority to the hero's troops. The first batch of weapons and ammunition manufactured by the arsenal, I think it can be given priority to the [-]nd Regiment."

"Makes sense."

Commander Liu extended it and said: "Which troops performed well in this battle, they will be encouraged in order.

Let the donkey of the production team pull the mill, and you have to hang a carrot in front of the donkey, right? "

Mr. Liu's image metaphor made several people in the command room laugh heartily.

Every soldier who has used a new type of weapon dislikes the original old weapon from the bottom of his heart.

The two are not in the same dimension at all.

But wolves have more meat and less meat.

Except for a few units like the Independence Regiment, which have all been re-equipped, most of the units are still using a mixture of old and new weapons.

Those troops who still use old weapons will definitely be very eager for the carrots hanging in front of them, and the next battle will have to risk their lives!

It can be said that this is no less than the boss's promise, and the project has become an incentive to give away a house and a wife.

What's more, this is not a painted cake, it can really be eaten in your mouth.

Chen Hao accompanied the head of the headquarters to drink tea in the room and wait for the news. At this time, he was no longer dozing off, but full of energy.

The hot blood in the chest suppresses the need to vent.

Give him a hoe, and he can plow five acres of land in one go.

Waiting seems to be a torment.

Suddenly, a soldier hurried in and presented a telegram.

The deputy chief of staff took it and just glanced at it, and his face immediately changed drastically: "What's going on, it was a big victory half an hour ago, and now it's a big defeat?!"

"let me see."

The boss took the telegram and quickly read it at a glance.

Feeling depressed in his chest, he slapped the table hard, making the ordinary wooden table creak, as if it was about to fall apart.

"This [-] regiment..."

The words came to his lips, but the boss didn't know how to describe them.

It is said that they did not fight well, but the ambush at the beginning was really good, which gave the Japanese army a blow.

It is said that they fought well, but they were attacked by Japanese tank troops and directly defeated one-third of their troops.

The tide of battle turned in an instant.

Not only was the whole regiment in danger, but the previous strategy to stop the enemy was completely shattered.

Master Liu sighed after reading the telegram, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the problem was with the chariot troops.

This Cheng Shifa was more than brave in commanding battles, but he lacked flexibility and was a bit dull.

Moreover, the headquarters had already sent a telegram to remind him about the need to be vigilant against the Japanese tank units.How did he become the head of the regiment? Didn't he prepare some countermeasures?

It turned out like this.

If it was Li Yunlong who commanded the battle, with his cleverness, he would be able to realize it without reminding him, let alone make such a mistake.

Mr. Liu felt extremely regretful in his heart:
"A small half of the [-]nd Regiment was defeated. Cheng Shifa, the head of the regiment, has an unshirkable responsibility. I think that after the battle is over, we should send someone to investigate in detail and hold him accountable for improper command."

"Whether it's good or bad, it's all after the war." The boss paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

His mind was running like a fine machine, thinking of ways to remedy it.

Although half of the troops of the [-]nd Regiment were defeated, half of the troops were still organized and their combat effectiveness was still there.

Use the rocket launcher to cover the attack, and the rocket launcher is aimed at a single point to destroy it.

To a certain extent, it is possible to stop the attack of Japanese tanks.

So there is no need to fear the Japanese tank unit just because of this loss.

The boss stopped suddenly: "How long will it take for the tank company that started from the Independent Regiment to arrive at the position of the [-]nd Regiment?"

"Based on the forward speed of their tanks, theoretically it will take another two hours."

The deputy chief of staff replied.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be based on theory alone. He immediately sent someone to send a telegram to inquire about the tank company.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Chen Hao, who had read the telegram, was very disappointed with the failure of the [-]nd Regiment.Not long ago, he spoke good words for them, so the slap in the face was a little quicker.

The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the commander did not expect that the war may be dragged into defeat.

The most notable example is that old fellow Sakata.The headquarters moved forward too fast, unexpectedly it was placed under the artillery fire of the new regiment.

No one is ever victorious in all battles. If they were defeated and shot, the Eighth Route Army would have lost its commander long ago.

Disappointed, just disappointed.

Chen Hao no longer focused all his attention on the [-]nd Regiment. He considered it from the perspective of the overall situation, and quickly came to a judgment.

"The enemy will not get entangled with the [-]nd Regiment."

Chen Hao's words broke the silence, and everyone looked at him.

The deputy chief of staff asked, "Why?"

Chen Hao calmly analyzed: "Judging from the current actions of the Japanese army, the most important thing for them is to open the way and go straight to the location of the arsenal.

If it were me, I wouldn't focus on the Qiqiertuan.

An infantry regiment, what kind of garlic is he?

The mobile troops directly bypassed them, losing even one more look.

There are large troops following behind, just spread out a force to surround and destroy them. "

While others were still savoring and sorting out this point of view, the boss had already figured it out.In fact, what he lacked was a little inspiration.

When Chen Hao said this, the boss figured out that the Japanese army's style of play was learned from the Germans.

Now that the enemy has a large number of tanks and trucks to pull infantry, it is possible to carry out motorized and rapid assault operations.

Fortunately, the Japanese army only learned a half-baked trick.

If two mobile forces are used to form two big fists and attack with pincers, sandwiched in the middle like the [-]nd regiment, there is a risk of annihilation of the entire army.

Now their situation is not optimistic.

The front is just an infantry regiment, and the back is the strength of an entire division. Once it is entangled, the end will definitely be worrisome.

"Report, the tank company sent back a telegram, and they can arrive at the location of the [-]nd Regiment within two hours."

The news became less important at this point.

After thinking for a while, the boss said: "Call back, the Japanese tank troops broke through the defense line of the [-]nd Regiment, and they will definitely accelerate towards the arsenal.

Order your tank company, find a suitable location to ambush, defeat its tank force, destroy the infantry's truck vehicle, and make it dare not venture in. "

Master Liu immediately understood the boss's intentions. The key to the rapid advance of the Japanese army lies in tanks and trucks.

The [-]nd Regiment didn't have that ability.

A tank company with twelve T80 tanks can do it.

If the vehicles of the Japanese army are destroyed, the basis for their rapid advance to assault the arsenal will be gone, and enough time will be bought for their strategic encirclement.

The deputy chief of staff asked, "What about the [-]nd Regiment?"

"Let the [-]nd regiment get out of the way and retreat to the west. The Japanese army should not be interested in him, and it should not be difficult to withdraw the troops completely." The boss said.

The order was quickly sent to the front by telegram.

After being disturbed by the bad news from the [-]nd Regiment, Chen Hao lost his good mood. He stood up and stretched, and walked around the yard to get some fresh air.

Waiting is always a very tedious thing, far less exciting than being on the battlefield.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunshots.

It was very close, as if it was near the village.

Chen Hao pulled out his pistol instantly alertly, and the deputy chief of staff immediately opened the door and asked, "What's going on, where is the shooting?"
