Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1049 The confidence of the third brigade (third!)

At this moment, the communications staff officer broke in, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Commander, urgent call from the Third Brigade!"

"Two brigades of devils and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army came from Luliang, and brought a lot of food and ammunition supplies. However, they did not have mountain artillery or infantry artillery, only heavy machine guns and mortars! There are less than [-] kilometers left in the forest, and the Seventh Regiment is now fighting with them, slowing down their marching speed!"

Three thousand Japanese and puppet troops joined the battle, and devils accounted for more than half of them.The frenzied atmosphere at the headquarters just now froze!
Including Commander Wang, everyone frowned and thought about the impact on the entire battle situation after the [-] Japanese puppet troops joined the battle!
"From the perspective of firepower configuration, the devils in these two brigades should be the garrison brigade!" Commander Wang judged first.

The chief of staff next to him suggested: "Commander, as long as the third brigade can hold them back, when we get rid of the [-]-day puppet army here, the two garrison brigades don't have to be afraid. At worst, give them the city of Liulin County, anyway. It is impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us to withdraw from our base!"

"That's it!" Commander Wang made a decisive decision.

"Call back the third brigade and resolutely hold them back. At the critical moment, I agree with them to give up Liulin County!"

"Since the little devils want it, I will give them an empty city!"

The communications staff officer was just about to leave with a telegram signed by the commander, when a radio operator rushed in.

"Commander, a telegram from Deputy Chief of Staff Wang!"

Commander Wang took the telegram and only glanced at it before ordering in a hurry: "Staff Zhou, wait a minute, the order to the third brigade just now is cancelled!"

The chief of staff immediately asked: "Did something happen to Deputy Chief of Staff Wang?"

Commander Wang shook his head and said with emotion: "No... Wang Ping's courage and appetite are too great... He also received a telegram from the Third Brigade, and then suggested to me that Sanlu find an opportunity to kill the Three Thousand Riders. puppet army!"

Everyone in the headquarters was shocked by Wang Ping's proposal!

The reason why they have the confidence to kill the Japanese and puppet troops attached to them is because the devils are inferior to themselves in terms of military strength and firepower, and they are almost out of ammunition and food!

The third brigade is different from the three thousand Japanese puppet army that just entered Liulin.

In continuous combat, the Third Brigade must have lost a lot of people. Now there are 500 people, thank God.

In terms of military strength, the Japanese and puppet troops far exceeded the third brigade.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, although the two thousand devils inside belong to the garrison, the combat effectiveness is still higher than that of the third brigade, and the ammunition is sufficient!

In this case, let the third brigade fight them decisively, or they may be surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops, and they may be killed in the end!

"Commander, I don't agree, it's too risky!" the chief of staff retorted without hesitation.

Commander Wang waved his hand and replied: "Don't rush to refuse, listen to Wang Ping's reasons before speaking!"

"Wang Ping said in the telegram that we have two advantages: the first is the advantage in firepower: the light and heavy machine guns and mortars originally equipped by the Third Brigade, plus the light and heavy machine guns and mortars seized in Liulin County, the firepower In terms of military power, it must be stronger than the Three Thousand Japanese Puppet Army, and it is much stronger!"

"The second advantage is the artillery advantage: don't forget, the third brigade still has eight mountain cannons in its hands, and the ammunition is very sufficient, which can completely beat devils on the battlefield!"

"His idea is to proceed in two steps: the first step is to concentrate a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns, and use today's daylight to attack them continuously, slow down their marching speed, and consume their troops. As long as they don't enter Liulin County before dark !"

"After dark, use the old method we have been using for several days to continue to attack them in the first half of the night. Don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. The offensive must be fierce. Put on a strong attack posture and don't give them any chance to breathe."

"In the second half of the night, concentrate eight mountain cannons, focus on attacking one point where the Japanese and puppet troops are stationed, deploy the main force to attack their main force under the cover of artillery fire, divide and surround them, and eat them bit by bit!"

"The way of fighting is the same as ours last night, but Wang Ping emphasized one point, to strengthen the use of artillery fire on the battlefield, and try to use artillery shells to kill the active forces of the Japanese and puppet troops."

"If five hundred shells are not enough, throw in a thousand, and if one thousand shells are not enough, throw in two thousand..."

Seeing that his subordinates were directly frightened by Wang Ping's generosity, Commander Wang didn't wait for them, and directly ordered: "Commander Zhou, forward the original telegram from Deputy Chief of Staff Wang to the Commander of the Third Brigade, and ask him if he has the confidence to fight This battle is good. He knows the current strength of the Third Brigade best. Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles, so we won't point fingers here!"

Staff Officer Zhou came back less than 10 minutes after he left, with a shocked expression on his face. He was frightened by the call back from the third brigade.

"Commander, the third brigade has called back, confident to kill the [-]-day puppet army that entered Liulin!"

"It also said that the casualties in this battle will not exceed 500, please rest assured, Commander!"

The brigade commander of the second brigade on the side was the first to react: "Commander, Lao Zhang is so crazy and full of confidence, it must be because he made a lot of benefits in Liulin last night. I suggest, send him a telegram immediately and ask him The current family property!"

Commander Wang did not refuse, and Staff Officer Zhou returned soon after, with an even more shocked expression on his face than before.

After taking a deep breath, he replied: "Commander, Brigadier Zhang called back. A total of 12 light machine guns, six heavy machine guns, and six mortars were seized in the attack on Liulin. Ten light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, three mortars, one field gun, and nearly [-] shells of various types, all of which were brought to Liulin County by the devils from Luliang..."

"It's really rich!" The second brigade commander said with envy and jealousy.

"Combining the original equipment of the third brigade, there are more than 36 light machine guns, 36 heavy machine guns, [-] mortars, nine mountain artillery, and sufficient ammunition. If my second brigade is there, I also have the confidence to kill the three thousand Japanese puppet army!"

Commander Wang was very happy and said with emotion: "If the equipment is ready and the ammunition is sufficient, the troops will have enough confidence to fight. Shock cannons, too!"

"Call back the third brigade and agree to kill the [-]-day puppet army that entered Liulin!"

General Yongsheng, the captain of the Japanese army, did not sleep all night, thinking about the solution to the problem, and reflecting on the battles of the past few days.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't understand why I, who had an absolute advantage, was defeated so unclearly, and even lost troops.

The adjutant rushed in at an untimely moment and reported: "Sir, the aviation unit has arrived. The transport plane has replenished us with [-] rounds of ammunition. It should be able to last until we withdraw from Liulin!"

"Order the troops to retreat in half an hour. Tell everyone that we will march in a hurry along the way, and there will be no rest time. Therefore, throw away all the things that can be thrown away on your body, reduce your burden, and strive to march [-] kilometers in a hurry before dark, and retreat to the base of the Eighth Route Army edge!"

A few kilometers away, Wang Ping also began to give orders: "I have decided to kill the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us tonight..."

"For the past few days, we have taken turns attacking them during the day and at night. Today, we do the opposite and don't fight during the day. Let them go on their way!"

"Why?" Several people looked at Wang Ping with puzzled faces.

Wang Ping replied with a smile: "After a few days of fighting, I believe that every devil is very tired. Now they are in a hurry to withdraw from our base area, and they have to walk at least forty or fifty kilometers a day in a hurry! You think that a gang is already exhausted. After traveling forty or fifty kilometers, do you still have the strength to fight us?"

"At that time, as soon as the devil's plane leaves, no matter whether the devil has stopped or not, we will directly launch an assault and fight hand-to-hand with the devil, and let their field artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns become decorations!"
