Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 181 Divide the troops and detour, General Ridge, Master Ridge!
"Nagata Taro, an old devil, is ruthless enough to blow up his own people."

Xu Rui, who was observing the battle between Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain on the roof of the bunker headquarters in the south gate of Jinghai County, soon saw the devils shelling the two sides at the last moment of the battle on the two hills, and said with a slightly changed expression.

"Our people must have suffered some casualties!"

Luo Youdu nodded solemnly, "I've already had people call to inquire about the casualties of the first and second battalions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain."

"But this time, depending on the situation, we should have wiped out the two devil infantry brigades attacking the mountain. It shouldn't be a problem to wipe out more than [-] enemies."

Xu Rui nodded, it's just that when the little devil's suicide shelling bombed even his own people, when he was entangled by the devil's infantry, there must be some soldiers on the mountain who had no time to hide in the artillery holes under the trenches.

The shelling of the devils regardless of their own people will definitely cause casualties to both sides in the fierce battle.

Soon, the staff officer who called to inquire about the casualties of the first and second battalions ran up from the bunker headquarters below.

"Reporting to the regiment, Chief of Staff."

The staff officer of the regiment headquarters who ran up reported: "The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping reported that on Dabei Mountain, the first battalion was bombarded by the devils, causing the first battalion to be bombed and sacrificed more than [-] people.".

"Liu Shuoming, the commander of the Second Battalion on Xiaobei Mountain, reported that the second battalion had more than [-] casualties due to the last shelling by the devils."

Xu Rui heard the words and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "The second battalion suffered a lot of casualties because of the shelling of the devils at the last moment.".

"But the combined casualties of the two battalions were less than one hundred, which is within our tolerance."

Luo Youdu nodded, and said: "Tuanzuo is right."

"I didn't expect that the old devil, Nagata Taro, would be so ruthless. Seeing that the devil's army attacking the mountain was on the verge of destruction, he would order the artillery to bomb, even his own people. This is indeed ruthless. We didn't expect Xiao The devil doesn't even let his own people go."

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to the staff who reported the situation: "Order Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming to pay attention to the devil's hand."

"Be careful to hide at any time to avoid the suicide shelling of devils!"

The staff officer who reported the situation stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, group seat.".

After the staff officer who reported the situation went down, Xu Rui picked up the binoculars and looked outside the city, and then said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Next, let's see how the old devil Taro Nagata will fight next."

"Chief of Staff, do you think the old devil Taro Nagata will continue to attack Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain?"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say!".

"Although Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain are the two commanding heights outside the city of Jinghai County, they can form a corner with the defenders in the city. However, the strength of our defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain is different. There is only one battalion of troops. It is estimated that Nagata Taro has already seen the strength of the defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain. Perhaps the next second attack should be a real attack on the mountain, and the old devil will definitely do it Well prepared to attack the mountain.”

Xu Rui nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!".

"However, we can't be careless. Maybe the old devil like Nagata Taro is thinking of other ways to break the city?"

Luo Youdu heard the words and said: "The old devil can't take down Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain. It will take several hours to break through Jinghai County, which is simply impossible."

"The people guarding Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain are the first-class main battalions of our 303 regiment. It is not a problem to hold them for a few days."

Xu Ruining said: "I just feel that Nagata Taro, an old devil, will not really smash Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.".

"Our counterattack just now should be the old devil Taro Nagata, who paid attention to the casualties caused by attacking the mountain."

When Luo Youdu heard this, he couldn't deny it.

He just said: "But if Jinghai County is to be destroyed, the old devil Taro Nagata will inevitably first take down the two commanding heights of Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain outside the city.".

"Otherwise, if you fight from the two mountains to the south gate city, you will only be attacked by firepower, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

Xu Rui said, "That's true."

"But still don't be careless, order the battalions to strengthen their security! Order Duan Peng to see if he can attack the devil's artillery group and destroy it!"

Luo Youdu said, "The success rate should not be high. Near the Devil's artillery group, there are two squadrons of troops arranged around the artillery group's position to guard against death."

"Try it!"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Maybe it's not impossible to hit a living horse."

"But let Duan Peng pay attention, he can act at any time after he has some grasp."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu nodded and said, "Okay!" Then Luo Youdu arranged for someone to directly send an order to Duan Peng, the commander of the reconnaissance company, through the walkie-talkie.

After that, Luo Youdu and Xu Rui continued to go out of the city to observe the devil's movements with binoculars.

At this time, the tentative attack failed, and after more than 303 horses were annihilated by the counterattack of the 2000 regiment's defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, Nagata Taro's face has not been very good at this time.

He descended to the top of the mountain with a gloomy face, and after returning to the military tent headquarters on the back of the mountain, Nagata Taro kept staring at the map on the table.

Seeing that Nagata Taro's face was gloomy, but there was no roar of anger, the chief of staff of the division, Kenzaburo Taketo, knew Nagata Taro's current mood, but he was actually holding back and not breaking out.

"Teacher commander!"

Taketo Kensaburo, chief of staff of the division, said in a low voice.

"I'm fine, Zhuteng-kun."

Seeing Taketo Kensaburo's voice, Nagata Taro waved his hand and said, "I can afford this loss."

"Unexpectedly, the rumor that Xu Rui's department has a secret weapon capable of throwing explosives is really true. Those explosives, Mr. Zhuteng, have you seen them?"

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and said in a concentrated voice: "I see, probably each of them is at least about ten kilograms, and some are about twenty kilograms.".

"Moreover, the projectiles from the back of Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain directly covered the soldiers of the imperial army attacking the mountains, and I saw that the projectiles covered a range of about 200 meters from the bottom of Xiaobei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain. Inside."

Nagata Taro said in a condensed voice: "Take Fuji-kun observed very carefully.".

"I saw it too! The range of this kind of thing should not be large, but in terms of defense, it can pose a threat to attacking troops at close range."

After a pause, Nagata Taro continued, "The next step is to attack Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain. I'm afraid our casualties will be more than two thousand."

"Even with the cooperation of artillery fire, our infantry will eventually attack the mountain. But the enemy's artillery positions are all behind the mountain, and our artillery fire cannot cover there, so it will be very difficult."

Seeing this, Kenzaburo Taketo, who knew Nagata Taro's commanding style, said at the right time, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Forcibly attacking Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain will cause too many casualties. This is not the exact usage of the soldiers of the imperial army. We have a lot of troops, but if we attack like this, we will fall into Xu Rui's trap completely. The loss outweighs the gain. gone."

Nagata Taro pointed to the map, and said in a concentrated voice: "So, I decided not to continue to attack Xiaobei Mountain and Dabei Mountain.".

"Divide the troops into two, and directly detour from the flanks to attack the rear of the enemy's main force."

Kenzaburo Taketo saw Nagata Taro pointing at several places on the two wings of Jinghai County, and suddenly said: "Division Commander, you mean to divide the troops into two groups, from the east and west sides of Jinghai County, and attack the tigers behind the enemy in a wide range. Ting stronghold, Heyuan County and other places.”.

"It's just that this circuitous journey is too long!"

After a pause, Taketo Kenzaburo pointed to the map and said, "What's more, if you detour from both sides of Jinghai County, you must pass Jiangjunling and Laoyeling.".

"Jiangjunling is the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Laoyeling is the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment. According to intelligence, these two enemy forces are elite troops that have fought against the imperial army. Once the troops are divided and detoured, These two places must be won. It’s just that once the battle starts in these two places, Xu Rui will definitely know.”

Nagata Taro said slyly, "If Xu Rui knows, can he still divide the troops?"

"These places don't belong to Xu Rui."

Taketo Kensaburo reminded, "The enemy army in Laoyeling is the troops of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment, and the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment and Xu Rui's unit previously fought against the rest of the Fourth Brigade and the 40th Infantry Regiment."
