Chapter 106 Chu Yunfei wants to attack at night
Li Yunlong was envious and jealous that Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment had such a powerful cannon troop.

He wished that his new regiment could also have a few mountain cannons and fight a beautiful battle, so that Chu Yunfei could take a good look at the capabilities of the new regiment.

But these are just Lao Li's fantasies, and now he can only watch the 358 regiment play wonderful defensive battles.

Of course, now Li Yunlong is somewhat stimulated, he must launch an operation overnight to attack the Japanese and puppet troops.

A large number of scouts from the new regiment have launched a search. As long as a fighter is found, Li Yunlong will definitely choose to shoot without hesitation.

At this time, in the front-line brigade headquarters set up by the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade, a large number of Japanese and puppet army officers came quickly after receiving the order.

Major General Shotaro Katayama, head of the brigade, stood in front of the map with a gloomy face. He held a baton in his right hand, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

The commander of the Japanese Army Major and the Colonel of the Puppet Army obviously felt the anger of Katayama Shotaro, and each of them lowered their heads and their faces were full of tension.

"The tens of thousands of troops, supported by dozens of artillery pieces, have been unable to break through the defensive position of a regiment of the Jinsui Army!"

"If this battle is passed on, we will definitely become the laughing stock of the North China Front Army!"

"And on all of our resumes, there will be very shameful records!"

"All of this is caused by you, you are simply a bunch of idiots!"

Holding the baton, Katayama Shotaro slammed the 358 regiment's position marked on the map, roaring directly.

Although he is the major general brigade commander of the garrison brigade, Katayama Shotaro feels that the overall strength of this battle is strong and has an absolute advantage.

In his opinion, even though Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had some fighting strength, he would be able to deal with them easily if he personally commanded them.

Even Shotaro Katayama felt that in a day or two, he could complete the combat mission of the army headquarters and wipe out the 358th regiment and the new regiment!
However, the battle has continued so far, and the total casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops are more than 2000, and they have not even broken through the first-line defensive positions of the 358 regiment.

He couldn't accept such a result. Looking at the Japanese and puppet army officers in front of him, he was full of anger.

If it weren't for the concern that these officers would be needed for the next battle, Shotaro Katayama would have chopped them alive with his saber.

When the officers heard the reprimand, they stood up one by one, and then hastily bowed to admit their mistakes.

It's just that in their view, their own troops have already attacked with all their strength. It's not that they are too incompetent, but that the opponent's artillery is too powerful.

Especially Shao Zuo Fujita, his brigade had no chance to attack, and the opponent's six mountain cannons completely blocked their advance.

Shao Zuo Fujita felt that the artillery team had a great responsibility for the failure of the battle. After all, they had 24 artillery pieces and were unable to suppress the opponent's artillery, which was simply incompetent.

Of course, Shao Zuo Fujita could only think about such an idea, but could not express it.

Koichi Mori of the artillery team has the rank of lieutenant assistant, and his position is higher than him.

Moreover, Koichi Mori was directly under Katayama Shotaro, and Major Fujita was only temporarily strengthened to fight for the independent mixed fourth brigade.

If he accuses Koichi Mori in public, it will offend people.

Maybe Shotaro Katayama just put on a small shoe for him, and it will cause devastating losses to his troops.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, please give us another chance. In the next battle, we will definitely break through their positions quickly."

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, why don't we launch a night attack overnight, use the cover of night to advance quickly, and directly use hand-to-hand combat to break through their positions!"

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, although our attack failed, they must have suffered heavy casualties. We will definitely win this battle in the end."

After a while, the officers of the Japanese and puppet army spoke one after another.

They also analyzed that the 358th regiment suffered heavy losses and had weaknesses such as excessive consumption of ammunition.

Therefore, they believed that as long as the Japanese and puppet troops continued to attack, they would be able to obtain results and break through their defensive positions.

Katayama Shotaro's expression changed when he heard these words.

He looked at the map and thought for a while.

In the end, Katayama Shotaro made a decision that the Japanese and puppet troops should rest overnight to recover their physical fitness and continue fighting tomorrow.

At the same time, the seriously wounded in the army also needed to be transferred to Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town for treatment.

After making a series of arrangements, Katayama Shotaro directly contacted the First Army Command.

He hopes that the Army Command can send aviation troops to join the battle tomorrow to assist the artillery team to completely destroy the artillery unit of the 358 regiment!
At nine o'clock in the evening, the officers of the Japanese and puppet troops returned to their respective units, and they began to arrange for the troops to rest.

In addition, hundreds of Japanese puppet troops began to move towards Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town.

Most of these hundreds of people are seriously injured!

Katayama Shotaro decided to fight again tomorrow, so as to give full play to the advantages of aviation to defeat Chen Ziyun's artillery unit.

As long as Chen Ziyun's artillery unit is wiped out, he feels that it will definitely not be difficult to break through the 358 regiment's defensive positions.

However, Katayama Shotaro obviously didn't take Li Yunlong seriously, and he didn't even consider that the Shinichidan would take action.

Hundreds of people left the battlefield, and they were quickly spotted by a new group of scouts.

Li Yunlong knew that most of the puppet troops in these hundreds of days were seriously wounded, so he grinned directly.

In his old Li's eyes, isn't it obvious that this is a big gift from the little devil?

After nine o'clock, hundreds of people from the Xinyi Regiment acted secretly. They quickly built an ambush circle and made preparations for the ambush.

It was at this time that the 358 regiment was here.

Chu Yunfei took Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, to the headquarters of the artillery battalion. At the same time, he also summoned the battalion commanders from the front lines to meet here.

This time, in order to defend against the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, Chu Yunfei made a big deal.

Four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion have more than 3000 troops defending the front line.

In a day of fierce fighting, the four infantry battalions suffered hundreds of casualties, and the overall loss was not small.

The artillery battalion suffered minimal casualties and was hardly affected.

"The little devil has finished fighting with three axes, now it's our turn to make a move."

"Staying in place can only be passively beaten. If you don't take the initiative to attack, the position will be broken sooner or later."

"So I am going to select troops and launch a night attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in front of me!"

When the officers gathered together, Chu Yunfei said with a serious expression on his face.

When Qian Bojun and other infantry officers heard that a night attack was going to be launched, they inevitably showed embarrassing expressions.

In their view, it is not easy for the four infantry battalions to hold their positions in a day of fierce fighting.

It would put too much pressure on them to be proactive now.

After all, some of their companies have reached the point where their muscles are broken.

So for Chu Yunfei's idea, they were conflicted in their hearts.

The four battalion commanders lowered their heads and remained silent, unwilling to undertake the night raid mission.
