Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 228 Jedi counterattack? (three more!)
After killing the devils, the Eighth Route Army who were still alive on the ground carried the wounded and retreated to the nearest artillery hole.

Justice Cheng Xiao and Chief of Staff Zeng Quan also followed Wang Ping's gaze to see this scene.

When the faces of the two people showed puzzled expressions, Wang Ping replied directly in an orderly tone: "Contact Zhang Yunshan and give up the second line of defense immediately. Without the machine gun bunker, continuing to hold on is sacrificing the lives of soldiers in vain!"

"I'll give the order right away!" Zeng Quan immediately picked up the phone to contact Zhang Yunshan.

Just when he was about to put down the microphone, Wang Ping walked over to pick it up.

"Zhang Yunshan, I'm Wang Ping!"

"It's less than two hours before dark, and you still have a line of defense in your hands, and the devils can't give up their attack. So, you still have a fierce battle to fight. Considering the devil's offensive is too fierce, and there are planes Support, I allow you to hold on to the third line of defense for an hour before giving up voluntarily!"

"Also, after this battle, your second battalion will be reorganized quickly. All the recruits transferred to you will be replenished to you. Be sure to reorganize two full-staffed companies for me, and compress the three garrison companies into One company, I will be useful at night!"

"Leader, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!" Zhang Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then answered loudly through the receiver.

As soon as he put down the phone, Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan looked over.

Political commissar Cheng Xiao first asked, "Leader, is there any action tonight!"

Wang Ping nodded noncommittally: "During the day, the little devils have planes and run in the mountains. Compared with them, we have no advantage at all!"

"But it's different at night. At least the little devil's plane above our heads can't come."

"Although the artillery can still counterattack at night, the reaction speed will definitely be much slower than during the day. This gives our artillery battalion a chance to counterattack. With the arrangement, not only can the artillery fire kill and injure the devils in large numbers, but also let the devils try Once you have a taste of artillery coverage, you can also transfer in time. After all, the artillery battalion is equipped with infantry artillery and mountain artillery that are light and easy to transfer!"

"There is also the advantage of night, for sunsets who are not familiar with the terrain, at night, they will become blind."

"But we are different. We are familiar with the terrain. Even when it is dark, we know where to retreat and where to attack..."

"Boss, you want to attack the devils at night!" Zeng Quan immediately responded, his eyes lit up and asked.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "Not only do I attack at night, I also want to fight back against the devils!"

"Look at the map. There are rugged slopes between our second line of defense and the third line of defense. There is no place to build a temporary camp. In addition, for the safety of the temporary camp at night, the devil will definitely place the camp in a relatively From our safe distance!"

"But look here!" Wang Ping analyzed, pointing to an open space between one or two lines of defense.

"The terrain is flat. Once the Japanese army takes our third line of defense, it will be more than two kilometers away from our fourth line of defense, and there are still two lines of defense blocking it. It is convenient and safe to temporarily station here for rest. So I am sure that as long as the Japanese army wins our third line of defense, [-]% of them will choose to camp here tonight!"

Cheng Xiao, the political commissar, was much more rational. He frowned and asked, "Commander, do you want to sneak attack the devil's garrison?"

"No!" But after a few seconds, I denied this idea.

"It's too far away from our fourth line of defense, and there are two lines of defense in the middle. Among other things, the infantry artillery in our hands can't hit the shells, let alone mortars!"

"Unless we move the artillery to the vicinity of the Japanese garrison, this is impossible. Although the infantry artillery is light, it is almost impossible to bypass the Japanese defense line and pass through the forest for several kilometers at night. And even if we reach the destination, we cannot even retreat. Eighty percent of them will be made dumplings and wiped out by the Japanese counterattack troops, so the gains outweigh the losses, not your Wang Ping's fighting style."

"It's still the political commissar who understands me!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"The devil's garrison is indeed not my goal. Thousands of Japanese and puppet troops gather together. Even if they are blind, they are still a very powerful force. We only have this few people, we can't fight with them, don't lose money Madam broke up again!"

"Although it is safe for the devils to be stationed here, there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is too far away from the third line of defense!"

"This gives us a chance to counterattack the third line of defense and take it back from the kid!"

"Impossible, the devil is not a fool, how could we easily let the fat in his mouth be snatched away by us! Leader, I think this idea is too risky." Political commissar Cheng Xiao vetoed it with a serious face after thinking about it.

"The devils have so many planes and cannons to support them. It would take hundreds of casualties to take down a line of defense from us. We have nothing but a few infantry artillery and mountain artillery, and the devils have strong combat effectiveness. It must be very difficult to defend. Awesome, I can't imagine how much we will have to pay to regain these lines of defense from the devils!"

Wang Ping continued speaking unmoved, with a confident expression on his face.

"Political commissar, what if I can keep the casualties within one company? The risk is not worth taking!"

"A company of infantry~" Cheng Xiao frowned immediately.

"The devils know that we are best at night attacks, and the third line of defense is facing us. It must be the place where the devils focus on defense."

Seeing Wang Ping nodding his head, Cheng Xiao continued to analyze: "According to my inference, the devils will deploy at least two infantry squadrons on this line of defense, and one battalion of the Imperial Association Army!"

Zeng Quan suddenly interrupted: "Political Commissar, did you make a mistake!"

"The whole line of defense is so big. We can only deploy two companies and three hundred people. Where can the devils have room to deploy so many troops? Two infantry squadrons plus one battalion of the Imperial Association Army, that is nearly 700 people. The devils really put If so many troops are placed in the position, we don’t need to attack, as long as we use artillery, a dozen of them can be killed or injured with one shot!”

"Not only the positions, but also the hilltops a hundred meters away. I judge that most of the Japanese and puppet troops are defending on the hilltops not far from the line of defense."

"Don't forget, in order to weaken the power of the devil's shelling and bombing, our third line of defense directly abandoned the high ground on the top of the mountain and built it halfway up the mountain."

"After taking down the defense line, the defense line is meaningless to the devils. As long as the devils occupy the high ground on the top of the mountain, even if we send troops to retake the defense line, it will be futile!"

Zeng Quan replied with a face of enlightenment: "As long as the devils occupy the high ground on the top of the mountain, they can control all surrounding areas with firepower, including our defense line."

Cheng Xiao nodded affirmatively: "That's what it means. So, to recapture the third line of defense, it is more straightforward to take back the hilltop highland behind the line of defense. As long as we take it back, the third line of defense is ours!"
