All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 210, nearly ten thousand casualties
"Have you confirmed the location?"

"Battalion Commander, I've confirmed everything. I guarantee with my head that it will be absolutely fine."

"Then tell the bazooka company, let's watch the fireworks."

On the edge of the front camp of the Japanese army closest to the valley, Zhang Dabiao, who had never shown up, showed his whereabouts.

He led a capable team, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the attack by the tank and cavalry regiment in the south, and sneaked into this forward camp.

In the middle of the investigation, the whereabouts were once exposed.

The Japanese soldiers in the camp engaged them and even used artillery.

The vigilance of the Japanese army should also be praised as the opponent Zhang Dabiao.

But it doesn't prevent Zhang Dabiao from setting off a big firework for the praiseworthy enemy.

The best way to admire an opponent is to let him die.

"...,...,..."

The observer reported the artillery coordinates one after another to the rocket battery in the valley behind through the high-power walkie-talkie.

Shelling beyond the artillery's field of vision mainly relies on artillery observers.

On the two identical artillery maps, all positions have horizontal and vertical coordinates.

The artillery observer pointed out the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the enemy's position based on what he saw, and provided guidance for the artillery.

On the top of the hill, all the bazookas have been loaded.

The soldiers adjusted the direction and angle according to the detected coordinates, and with an order, hundreds of rockets roared and pierced the night sky.

In just ten seconds, the forward camp became a sea of ​​explosions.

The entire camp seemed to be turned upside down, supplies and things were scattered in a mess, and the soldiers who were directly bombarded by the rockets fell to the ground in disorder.

The wind and waves formed by the shock wave blew off Zhang Dabiao's hat.

He could barely keep his eyes open, and he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Exciting, this big firework is too exciting."

"Battalion Commander, there are more exciting things!"

Less than thirty seconds later, the second wave of rockets came again.

After a baptism, there is no complete good place in the camp, the ruins after the entire earthquake.

"Hey, this is really powerful!"

Zhang Dabiao chuckled, extremely satisfied with the doomsday scene created by his side.

Without a little bit of defense, who can react to being bombed suddenly?
Judging from his rich experience, the two waves of rockets caused more than half of the enemy's casualties in this camp.

The key is that heavy weapons such as artillery have been damaged a lot.

There was a very loud explosion just now, it is very likely that the ammunition caused the explosion, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

The little devil's attack tomorrow morning will stop for a while without accident.

"withdraw!"

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and led the capable team to retreat easily.

I have to say that it is cool to have artillery support, and their infantry don't have to spend too much effort, they can just bomb his mother.

A wave of Fuyu's firepower covered it, and no enemy could hold it back.

If it weren't for the large scale of the enemy and their lack of strength, taking this opportunity to occupy the camp and reap a wave would yield even greater gains.

What a pity, what a pity.

"The forward camp was hit by eight-way rockets, and the Fifth Infantry Battalion suffered heavy casualties. The artillery lost nineteen [-] howitzers, three [-] infantry guns, and an ammunition depot with [-] tons of ammunition."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Hisao Tani almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

His eyes were wide open, as if he was going to eat people, and the officer who reported the news was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

The rest of the people didn't even dare to take a breath, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

overnight.

They lost all the cannons of two heavy artillery brigades, two howitzer brigades and one mountain artillery brigade. The total loss of artillery was as high as more than [-] pieces.

It accounts for [-]% of the number of artillery owned by the entire Sixth Division.

In addition to the loss of more than a dozen artillery pieces in the artillery battle during the two-day offensive, there are only a dozen artillery pieces left in the entire division.

The unprecedented loss is unprecedented since the establishment of the entire division!
Casualties have not been counted yet, but it is conservatively estimated to be more than 2000 people, including a large number of artillery technical arms.

This artillery is no better than infantry, it can be trained by catching any farmer.

Artillery requires knowledge, and without a certain culture, you can't even memorize artillery watches.

After this battle, the Sixth Division was truly traumatized. Even if they withdraw from the battle now to repair and replenish, it will definitely be difficult to return to the peak before the war within a year or so.

Chief of Staff of the Division Ikeda Koichi stood in the corner, watching his nose and nose with concern and not saying a word.

He made a small calculation in his heart:

The No.13 regiment has completely lost its combat capability, and there are only more than a thousand remnants left, of which the wounded account for more than half.

Even if it loses two thousand five.

The No.20 Triple Alliance is taking over. Yesterday and tonight's losses are added, and about a thousand people were killed in battle, and four to five hundred were injured.

The casualties reached [-]%, which belonged to a small and half disabled.

The entire cavalry regiment was wiped out, and only a few of the 600 people escaped.

With the two heavy artillery brigades and the troops directly under the division, the casualties tonight were as high as [-].

At present, the total number of casualties is more than 6000, and the number of wounded is about [-].

Oh, this is not counting the tank teaching brigade, a tank regiment was damaged, and more than 900 people died.

Based on this calculation, they have lost 500 people in this battle.

Ikeda Koichi was taken aback by his calculation, and took a deep breath.

At present, the total number of people engaged in the battle from the eight routes does not exceed four thousand, and they have caused nine thousand five hundred casualties.

When did their Sixth Division lose such a battle?

Ikeda Koichi couldn't accept it. He suspected that he had made a mistake in his calculation, but he did the calculation again, and it was still the same.

Nearly 30,000 people were invested, more than 200 aircraft were used, and two to three hundred tons of bombs were dropped.

It turned out to be what it is now.

Ikeda Kou was about to explode, holding his forehead in a depressed mood.

In fact, he is not the only one who is doing the calculations, the data is transparent and anyone can calculate it.

Many military officers did some mental calculations, and they were all surprised.

Their Sixth Division claimed to be the best at fighting, and they also had aircraft and tanks to provide support, but they fought like this.

Are there two thousand casualties on the Eighth Route?Probably not.

Even if it was two thousand, the casualty ratio of one to four point seven severely stimulated their self-esteem.

Now there is only one thought in everyone's mind: "Are you still fighting?"

"General, I think it's okay to wait. Maybe my No.40 Fifth Regiment successfully carried out the mission and occupied the arsenal of the Eighth Route!"

Ushijima persuaded.

His No.30 Sixth Brigade has the most complete combat effectiveness in the entire division.

Except for the heavy losses of the artillery that was transferred away, the infantry was basically intact.

It took a lot of effort for the boss to open up a road in the mountains, and he was able to go around and deal a fatal blow to the eight roads.

Ushijima is of course unwilling to ask him to give up and back down now.

Gu Hisao seemed to have been hit with a sap just now, and his whole brain was in chaos.

Hearing Ushijima Mitsuru's persuasion, his face was flushed like a dying person returning to the light.

Like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

Gu Hisao murmured:

"Yes, we haven't lost yet. We still have the hole cards. If we occupy the eight-way arsenal, we will win."

He pinned his hopes on the circuitous No. 40 Fifth Infantry Regiment.

Everyone saw that Hisao Tani's state was not right, he was hit too hard, did he have a mental problem?

But it's okay to speak.

The eighth road's arsenal is the most important thing, as long as it is occupied or destroyed, their sixth division will not be considered a loser.

No matter how big the loss is, it is not considered a loss.

It just didn't meet the initial expectations, and won at a very small cost.

Ikeda Koichi said: "Balu carried out two attacks and used all available means. It should be safe tonight, and there will be no third attack."

His words soothed everyone's hearts.

They were all terrified by the attack, and now if there is a third attack, they will go crazy for one or two.

Scared and scared to death.

With hope, everyone continued to sit and wait for the news.

Outside the tent, the living people were cleaning the battlefield, rescuing the wounded, and dealing with the aftermath of the attack just now.

There were sighs and sighs everywhere in the camp, and a mood called pessimism was brewing and pervading the crowd.

Casualties accounted for one-third of the total.

Excluding the infantry No.30 Sixth Brigade, which suffered little loss, the number of casualties accounted for almost half of the remaining [-] people.

In other words, out of ten people a soldier knew, almost five faces were either dead or wounded.

There is even a small probability that people I know will disappear.

With such a heavy loss, the news cannot be concealed, and it has been spread throughout the camp.

The consecutive failures in the past few days have already made the sixth division's fighting spirit low and their fighting spirit weakened.

The sudden night attack tonight gave them a fatal blow.

Tired all day, unable to rest and sleep peacefully, their fighting spirit fell to the bottom.

Is it possible that in the future when you sleep, you have to open one eye and close one eye?
The officers and soldiers at the grassroots level didn't know that a field regiment had reached the rear of the Eighth Route Army, and the higher-ups placed high hopes on them, thinking that there was still a possibility of a comeback.

In the eyes of the soldiers, the battle has been completely defeated as it is now.

They failed miserably, completely.

The painful wailing of the wounded is everywhere, and the listeners feel the tears when they hear it.

Those who died in battle and were injured, their today is their own tomorrow.

Thinking about it this way, the already pessimistic mood of the soldiers once again cast a heavy shadow.
