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

Chapter 292: More than [-] troops lost!

"Good fight, good fight!"

Xu Rui observed the final battle situation through binoculars in the bunker headquarters.

The remnants of the devils who were suppressed by the artillery fire on the slope below the riverside on the north bank of the Nanliu River were all killed.

"Tuan Zuo, all the devils who crossed the river should have been wiped out. Even if there are a few remnants, it's insignificant."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said with a laugh.

"The Chief of Staff said so."

Xu Rui nodded and smiled, and then told a staff officer on the side: "Command the battalions not to go out to clean the battlefield for now.".

"What's more, in this situation, it's actually impossible to go out and clean the battlefield. The devil's artillery is still shelling our river defense positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River!"

The staff officer mentioned by Xu Rui stood at attention and said, "Yes, group seat."

Soon, the staff officer immediately picked up the phone on the table behind, and directly ordered the battalions to stay in their positions and not to go out to clean up the battlefield.

After all, the howitzers and infantry guns on the artillery position of the devil somewhere on the south bank of the Nanliu River have not been destroyed by anti-battery artillery.

But at this time, Taro Takeshita's face was gloomy as he watched the devil's troops crossing the river and attacking them completely wiped out.

"Bagaya deer, Bagaya deer, hateful, hateful!"

Takeshita Taro could only grit his teeth and bark angrily.

Nearly [-] people crossing the river were finally detonated and wiped out with landmines buried under the ground on the slope of the river on the north bank of the Nanliu River.

In addition, at the last moment, the 303rd Regiment launched the Feilei Cannon that had not been seen for a long time. Takeshita Taro also saw the densely packed explosive packets from the sight of the telescope.

At that time, Takeshita Taro already knew that the destruction of the 55th Infantry Regiment was an inevitable outcome.

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Division Commander, the 55th Infantry Regiment is gone!"

The Chief of Staff of the 41st Division, Major General Tada Hideki, whispered bitterly.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

At this time, the shells whistling past the heads of the two continued to hit the north bank of the Nanliu River screaming.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

A few seconds later, the sound of the explosion from the north bank of the Nanliu River clearly reached the ears of Takeshita Taro and Tada Hideki.

"Order Fukuto Secondo to stop the bombardment. The 55th Infantry Regiment is finished. What's the use of continuing the bombardment now? The enemy troops on the north bank of the Nanliu River are probably hiding in the bomb defense caves again."

A distraught Takeshita Taro said to Tada Hideki.

"Hey, I understand, division commander."

Major General Tada Hideki, the chief of staff of the division, nodded bitterly, and then waved his hand to signal the Japanese staff officer on the side to quickly call and inform the artillery regiment commander Fukuto Secondo Colonel on the rear artillery group.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

The devil's staff officer who was signaled immediately whispered, and then ran down the mountain, and returned to the military tent headquarters below, and used the field phone to notify the artillery position behind.

In less than half a minute, the Devils artillery group stopped shelling.

Without the screaming sound of shells, Taro Takeshita felt better.

However, looking through the binoculars at the corpses of the devil soldiers who were killed in the Nanliu River and the slope on the north bank of the Nanliu River, Takeshita Taro's mood suddenly turned bad again.

"Xu Rui, you really are not easy to deal with."

Takeshita Taro said through gritted teeth.

"Teacher head."

Major General Tada Hideki, the chief of staff of the 41st Division, said helplessly, "We didn't expect that the first time we encountered the enemy army in Mingjia Town. The landmine detonated the entire town of Mingjia, eating up the strength of one of our infantry brigades."

"Now, after our force crossing the river landed and landed, the enemy army actually planted landmines on the slope of the river on the north bank of the Nanliu River. After the detonation, the imperial soldiers hiding there had no way out. Xu Rui is really cunning, we still underestimate the enemy."

After a pause, Tada Hideki said again, "Now, most of the iron-clad assault boats of the troops crossing the river have been destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire, and a small number are on the north bank of the Nanliu River, and there are not many."

"Now, without the two hundred iron assault boats in our hands, it is impossible to attack Jinghai County from the Nanliu River to the north."

"Master, what shall we do?"

Without saying a word, Takeshita Taro walked down the mountain and returned to the military tent headquarters below.

Then, the old devil looked gloomy after looking at the military map placed on the middle table in the military tent headquarters.

"The Nanliu River is wide and there are no boats. We cannot cross the river to attack Jinghai County, Huting stronghold, Heyuan County and other places currently controlled by the 303rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army."

Takeshita Taro pointed to the map, and said in a concentrated voice: "What's more, if we fail to cross the river, even if we still have two hundred iron assault boats in our hands, if we continue to cross the river at this time, we can only give away people's heads."

"Even if it's a detour, the Nanliu River is also an unavoidable hurdle, division commander."

Pointing to the map, the chief of staff of the division, Major General Hideki Tada, said bitterly, "So I suggest, division commander, we may need to ask the headquarters for the support of the iron assault boat."

"Once the latest battle situation is reported, a reprimand from the headquarters will follow, Tada-kun."

Takeshita Taro reminded with a bitter expression.

"That can't be helped, division commander."

Tada Hideki said helplessly: "No one thought that the attack across the river would fail.".

"Actually, commander, we should have concentrated half of the ships to cross the river from the Nanliu River Stone Bridge to attract the main force of the enemy. The other half of the ships carried half of the Imperial Army soldiers from the 55th Infantry Regiment, and they were sent from other sections of the Nanliu River. Sneak attack and forced crossing. For tens of kilometers upstream and downstream of the Nanliu River, even if Xu Rui's troops have 1 horses, it is impossible to deploy layers of defense along the river."

Although Takeshita Taro knew that Hideki Tada was an afterthought, he was right.

It was just that Takeshita Taro felt that under the cover of powerful artillery fire and the air-ground coordinated firepower of the air raid fleet, the 55th Infantry Regiment crossing the river could land on the shore and land on the north bank of the Nanliu River. The 55th Infantry Regiment was able to reach the city of Jinghai County.

But what I didn't expect was that Xu Rui actually had a 40mm anti-aircraft gun in his hand, and shot down all fifty fighters that cooperated with them.

At that time, the river-crossing fleet had already arrived in the middle of the Nanliu River.

At that time, it was impossible for Takeshita Taro to order the fleet to turn around and return to the south bank.

What's more, the actual situation is unrealistic.

At that time, we could only bite the bullet and order the river-crossing fleet to continue northward and quickly increase their horsepower to rush to the north bank.

Of course, it landed successfully in the end, but half of the fleet was lost during the charge.

I won't say much about the latter situation.

"That's the end of the matter, it's pointless to talk about it now. Tada-kun!"

Takeshita Taro shook his head and said bitterly: "Since we are going to fight against the enemy Xu Rui's troops, the ships needed to cross the Nanliu River are indeed necessary."

"Now, the two hundred iron assault boats in our hands have been lost, so we should send a report to the headquarters and ask for support!"

Tada Hideki nodded silently, just thinking about the loss of about [-] troops since the start of the war, he felt that the battle report sent to the headquarters of the First Army looked very ugly.
