The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1008 I guarantee that the armored battalion will have meat to eat tonight (first update)
The deputy chief of staff's analysis was very reasonable. Okamura Neiji couldn't find any reason to refute. He stared at the sand table for another minute and then began to issue orders: "You are right..."

"If you want to successfully build the sixth blockade, continue to encircle and block the Sixth Army Division in the Wing with iron walls."

"We not only have to fight this battle, but we have to do everything we can to win him."

"Order: The 105th Regiment must not hold its position at any cost."

"The 104th Wing and the 106th Wing immediately dispatched a reinforcement brigade to reinforce the 105th Wing."

"Let them bring enough artillery and tank troops to prevent the Eighth Route Army from encircling the point for reinforcements."

"In case of being besieged by the Eighth Route Army, the reinforcements will immediately break out of the encirclement under the cover of artillery and tank troops, and decide whether to continue to reinforce the 105th Regiment or withdraw to their base based on the battlefield situation."

"The remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army have limited strength, and it is impossible to target our two reinforcements at the same time to encircle the point and provide reinforcements."

"As long as a reinforcement force arrives at the 105th Regiment on time, it will be no problem to repel the Eighth Route Army."

…………

Okamura Neiji is right. The troops left behind in the base area really cannot attack two encirclement sites at the same time for reinforcements.

But this does not mean that another reinforcement force he sent will reach the battlefield on time.

Although Yizhong is mainly composed of plains, transportation is developed and there are roads everywhere.

But Okamura Neji requested to bring more tanks and heavy artillery for self-protection, which meant that they could only use roads to reinforce the battlefield.

As long as the road is destroyed, a normal march that can be completed in more than an hour will definitely take an hour or two.

This period of time was enough for the remaining troops in the base area to capture the 105th Regiment.

At the enemy headquarters of the [-]st Brigade, Huang Yu was standing at the lookout to observe the artillery battle.

The base area dispatched two artillery battalions and two mountain artillery companies, and the Japanese dispatched four artillery brigades. The numerical and qualitative advantages were both on the Japanese side.

If the more than thirty artillery pieces dispatched from the base area were not all dispersed in company and platoon Wei units, even if the Japanese army concentrated their superior artillery fire to counterattack, they would not be able to catch them all. The artillery battle in front of them might have ended two minutes ago.

"Let the heavy artillery regiment join the battle..." The artillery battle between the two sides has been going on for almost 10 minutes. The Japanese army has never had new artillery troops join the battle. The result of the assault company's reconnaissance is that the Japanese 105th Regiment only has four artillery brigades. Huang Yu no longer hesitates. Make prompt decisions.

"The attacking troops rush forward..."

"Mortars and thunder cannons provided cover, stormed the blocking positions that the Japanese army had not repaired, and forced all the Japanese out of the town and into the positions..."

When the commander of the tank battalion heard that he was not included in the attack order, he became anxious on the spot: "Deputy Chief of Staff..."

"What is our mission..."

"The little devils in this town have no place to use as cover."

"The firepower advantage of the tank can best be used."

"Let's go ahead and make sure that all the Japs on the battlefield are killed, and we can kill the 105 Japs at the minimum cost."

Huang Yu shook his head and refused: "Don't be afraid to wait for good food...Why are you in a hurry..."

"The 105th Regiment in the town also hides an enhanced tank squadron, equipped with 16 tanks and armored vehicles, hiding in every corner of the town. It is difficult for our artillery to target and destroy them."

"Before we kill these tanks, the armored battalion attacks rashly. Do you think our soldiers can win in a one-on-one fight with the Japanese?"

The armored battalion commander's raised head immediately lowered.

The Japs Tank Squadron is a real tank unit.

Almost all the soldiers in the armored battalion became monks on the way, and could only engage in some simple armored battles, but could not handle anything more complicated.If they were to go head-to-head with the Japanese tank squadron on the battlefield, it would be tantamount to being a living target for the Japanese army. After half a year of training, they might not be their opponents.

It was impossible to win the battle, but the armored battalion commander didn't want such a good fighter to slip away from under his nose.

Although the Japanese chariot squadron is hidden in the town and the artillery cannot destroy it immediately, these chariots may not necessarily collide with their own chariot battalion.

In order to prevent the Japanese tank squadron from launching a counter-assault, the offensive troops specially carried more than a dozen anti-tank artillery.

Maybe the Japanese tank squadron would become a target for anti-tank guns before they could fight the armored battalion.

Staring at Huang Yu, he continued to ask: "Then when will we go to the battlefield..."

"There are only two teams of little devils in this town..."

"Kill some of the artillery and some more of the attacking troops, and there will be no one left on the position."

"If you join the war too late, you may not even be able to drink soup."

Huang Yu was very confident in his ability to control the field, and responded firmly to the armored battalion commander: "Don't worry, I guarantee that the armored battalion will have meat to eat tonight."

…………

At the headquarters of the Japanese 105th Regiment, the commander's face was full of disappointment.

The artillery units did not quickly eliminate their opponents in artillery battles.

The artillery battle, which I thought would be over in 5 minutes, continued for 10 minutes and it still didn't end.

But he couldn't help it either.

The 105th Regiment's station is only so large, and the space available for building artillery positions is limited. The artillery cannot be too dispersed, and positions must be established in groups.

The Eighth Route Army's activities are everywhere outside the station, and their artillery can establish artillery positions in companies and platoons.

Once the opponents are dispersed, no matter how strong the artillery wing is, they can only counterattack one by one and cannot end the battle in a short time.

This situation is the same for everyone.

The artillery failed to break through, so the regiment commander could only pin his hopes on the infantry.

When he learned that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had begun to launch an attack, he immediately rushed out of the headquarters, climbed to the highest roof of the town, raised his binoculars, and observed the enemy's situation through artillery fire, ensuring that he would know the latest battle situation on the front line as soon as possible and make adjustments at any time.

"Captain..." The chief of staff stood beside the commander, observing and introducing the battle situation he saw.

"The Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower was more intense than I imagined..."

"If we build blocking positions in advance, trenches can help us minimize the damage caused by mortars."

"But now we haven't repaired our positions. Many soldiers are hiding behind bunkers made of sandbags. As long as the mortar shells fired by the Eighth Route Army hit behind the bunkers, our soldiers hiding behind the bunkers will surely suffer heavy casualties."

"Didn't your Excellency, Commander, strengthen us with a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns? Let them all go to the battlefield to block the Eighth Route Army's offensive at all costs."

"Over and over again, and again and again, and finally exhausted. As long as we successfully repelled the first two attacks of the Eighth Route Army, and their offensive thought they would be frustrated, we can hold on until reinforcements arrive."

"Rumble..."

At this moment, a series of thunderous explosions suddenly sounded from the artillery position behind the headquarters. The huge fireball rising into the sky was as high as two stories. Thick smoke rose from the ground, and the houses below were exploded. After trembling twice, I knew at a glance that the explosion just now was not caused by ordinary mountain cannon shells.
