Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1144 Counterattack before dying (second update!)
"What's the end?" The chief of staff next to him hadn't reacted yet.

Lieutenant General Ito frowned and asked: "Do you still remember the telegram sent by several infantry brigades this morning? Last night, the Eighth Route Army beat them all night, but they did not make a strong attack, and the losses were very small!"

"I was very happy at the time and thought our tactics were correct. As long as we stick to our positions, the Eighth Route Army can't do anything to us. Now it seems that I was wrong. It's not that the Eighth Route Army can't do anything to us, but that they don't want to garrison thousands of troops on the front line for us. Pay too many casualties!"

"Through uninterrupted tentative attacks, the ammunition of our frontline troops has been consumed, and we will launch an attack after we run out of ammunition and food~"

The chief of staff finally reacted: "It must be so~"

"Division Commander, there are several brigades that don't have enough ammunition tonight... If the Eighth Route Army continues to attack us like last night, then these brigades will definitely run out of ammunition and food in the middle of the battle!"

"Without ammunition, they can't even withstand the attack of the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, let alone the main force! Division commander, we must think of a solution now, otherwise these brigades will definitely be finished today!"

"Retreat... other than retreat, there is no other way to keep these infantry brigades!" Lieutenant General Ito replied through gritted teeth.

Then he frowned and ordered: "Send a telegram to these brigades and tell them to move to the nearest troops. After dawn, all troops will retreat and return to Linfen under the cover of aviation!"

"Then what about the new regiment base we took down?" the chief of staff subconsciously asked.

"Give up, give up everything!" Lieutenant General Ito replied calmly.

"Compared to the thousands of imperial troops on the front line, those bases are nothing. As long as the troops are still there, if they are lost this time, we will regain them in the next raid!"

"However, when the troops are retreating, burn all the villages and towns they pass along the way! Since those ordinary people who support the Eighth Route Army like to run, then we will burn their houses. Winter is coming soon, for them , houses and food are equally important. Since they support the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army must teach them a lesson and make them pay the price!"

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army promise to protect the common people? We burned the houses of the common people, making their promises empty words!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and he replied: "Strike against the prestige of the Eighth Route Army among the common people!"

"Without prestige, it will be a huge trouble for the Eighth Route Army without perfect logistics supplies, whether it is recruiting troops or collecting food!"

"Of course, the Xinyituan can also choose to help the common people repair their houses before winter, but it is almost impossible for the Xinyituan, which only has more than 1 people, to repair all the houses of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people! "

"So, what we do will definitely hurt their prestige, and it will put huge pressure on the weak logistics of the Eighth Route Army, and it may even directly bankrupt them!"

As soon as it got dark, crackling gunshots sounded around the nine front-line Japanese garrisons.

The Japanese Third Battalion attacked by the Second Battalion didn't have many bullets, whether they were rifles or heavy machine guns, except for shells.

As soon as the gunshots rang out outside the garrison, the captain of the Devils became anxious.

"The army must save ammunition, we are running out of ammunition!" This was the first order issued by the Devil Major.

The adjutant reminded: "Sir, even if this is the case, the remaining ammunition in our hands is only enough for three or four hours!"

"We'll get through these three or four hours first!" The major, who had no other choice, replied helplessly.

"Da da da... bang bang bang..."

The sound of gunshots and shell explosions lasted less than an hour, and the firepower on the east side of the garrison was obviously weakened.

"Sir, the [-]nd Squadron to the east is almost out of ammunition!"

"Send the [-] rounds of ammunition that the guards have just pulled out, so they can save some use!" The major commanded, the worried expression on his face became more and more serious, and he repeatedly explained to the adjutant.

As soon as the adjutant left, a subordinate rushed over.

The major, who thought that another squadron had a problem, was about to speak when the subordinates who rushed over rushed to report: "Sir, the command of the division headquarters!"

"Let's break through and retreat immediately, and move to the second or fourth infantry brigade nearby. After dawn, under the cover of aviation, we will withdraw from the new regiment's base!"

In the past, Shao Zuo would have been shocked when he received the retreat order, and he didn't want to execute it, thinking that retreating in front of the Eighth Route Army would be a humiliation to him.

However, at this moment, he did not have such an expression, and there was even a happy and relaxed expression on his tense and anxious face.

Without any hesitation, he directly ordered: "Artillery, concentrate all artillery, and launch a 10-minute artillery attack on the Eighth Route Army position east of the garrison..."

"For the garrisons in other directions, leave all the puppet troops who cooperate with them, and continue to block the Eighth Route Army's attack. All other troops move to the east of the position, and we will break through in 10 minutes!"

"All the remaining ammunition in the brigade will be sent to the second squadron... During the breakout battle, the second squadron will play the vanguard, and the other troops will follow up!"

Outside the camp, Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan didn't know that the devils wanted to break out.

However, he still knew that the ghosts in the encirclement were short of ammunition!

"Boom boom boom..."

Undoubtedly, he was shocked by the sudden artillery fire from the Japanese army.

"Battalion Commander, the devil is crazy, concentrating so many artillery shells on our second company..." Wu Yanrong, the instructor next to Xiao Yunshan, exclaimed in surprise.

"They're not crazy..." Xiao Yunshan replied with a frown.

"There are two possibilities for the devils to do this: one is that they want to break out and use shells to smash a breakthrough in our encirclement!"

"One is that they have no ammunition in their hands, and they want to use shells to make up for their lack of ammunition!"

"No matter what the possibility is, the east is our key defense direction!"

"The recruit company, the artillery company, the mountain artillery company, and the garrison battalion that cooperates with our operations, all go over and reinforce the second company!"

Xiao Yunshan was very meticulous, he didn't give the Japanese and puppet troops a chance, and directly transferred all the mobile troops he could use!

Without any preparation, hundreds of shells smashed into the second company's position. Even if the second company was made of iron, it would be blown to melt, not to mention that the second company was not made of iron.

After the 10-minute artillery attack ended, the entire second company had less than 50 active soldiers, and more than half of them were lost.

At this moment, more than 100 devils, who had received a large amount of ammunition supplies, killed them like desperately.

"Ready to fight……"

The second company commander got up from the mud, ignoring the mud on his body, and ordered loudly.

"Da da da..." The devil's firepower was very fierce, and the light and heavy firepower concentrated together crushed Erlian to the point where he couldn't lift his head.
