Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 247 The Heart to Kill

After finally surviving until dawn, the chief of staff finally walked into the tent where the headquarters was located with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Did you find out?" Ono stared at the chief of staff and asked with a sullen face.

"General, we have found out! Although the Eighth Route Army took back the third line of defense and the high ground on the hilltop at night, they did not stick to it. The scouting troops we sent out recaptured these two positions. However, the landmines left by the Eighth Route Army were lost again. We caused more than 20 casualties of the imperial army!"

"According to the recollections of the severely wounded alive on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain by some means."

"Because the troops hiding on the top of the mountain were all stationed on the mountainside, there were not many people left on the top of the mountain. The Eighth Route Army who suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain easily occupied the top of the mountain, and then condescended to throw grenades and grenades at our troops stationed on the mountainside!"

"The Eighth Route Army attacked us from above. Although the warriors resisted desperately, they couldn't withstand the unilateral massacre by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Less than half an hour after the battle started, our troops stationed on the top of the mountain had to retreat!"

Ono suddenly interrupted: "Then the Eighth Route Army followed us and retreated, fighting all the way to the third line of defense!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff replied with his head down.

"Baga, have you figured out how the Eighth Route Army got to the top of the mountain, and why our troops stationed on the mountainside didn't find out?" Ono stared at the chief of staff and continued to question.

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "No, the investigation team searched for nearly two hours and found nothing!"

It turned out that in order to prevent the tunnels left by the engineer company in the other two highlands from being discovered by the devils, when retreating, Wang Ping directly ordered the entrances and exits of the tunnels to be blown up.

Coupled with some other hands and feet, it looks no different from a bomb crater.

Unless the devils dug down to a depth of one or two meters, they would never find the existence of the tunnel.

However, it is obviously impossible for the devil's reconnaissance troops to dig down every bomb crater on the battlefield so deep.

Therefore, how the independent group reached the top of the mountain quietly became an eternal secret for the devils.

Seeing the chief of staff with his head down, Ono was so angry that he wanted to chop him off with a knife.

After waiting at the headquarters for so long, the chief of staff didn't even figure out the most important question, how could he not make him angry.

With anger, he smashed the things on the bullet box in front of him to pieces, and shouted loudly.

"Revenge, so many warriors died in battle, at the hands of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. As their brigade commander, we must avenge this revenge!"

"Chief of Staff, assemble the troops immediately and have breakfast. Then call for air support. In an hour, I will launch an attack on the fourth line of defense of the Independence Regiment. I will reach their garrison before noon, fight them decisively, and wipe them out!"

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff, who was also angry with the Independence Regiment, replied loudly.

But he didn't leave right away, but hesitantly replied: "But, General, there is a problem we must solve!"

"Otherwise, today's attack will not be possible at all!"

Ono frowned, staring at the chief of staff and asked: "What's the problem, let me tell you, no matter what the problem is, it can't stop the Independence Regiment from being wiped out today, and I can't stop me from avenging the warriors who died in battle!"

"It's the strength of the troops. Our strength is insufficient!" The chief of staff replied hesitantly.

"Although we have more than 6000 troops entering the mountain, the combat troops only have three infantry brigades, one regiment of the Imperial Association Army, and the brigade headquarters guards!"

"With yesterday's attack and last night's battle damage, we have already lost two entire infantry brigades, and almost one regiment of the Imperial Association Army has also been lost!"

"Now we have only one infantry brigade left to launch an attack, and there is no Royal Association Army to coordinate operations."

"If you attack rashly, even if you can break through the remaining three defense lines of the independent regiment, the remaining troops will not be able to fight a decisive battle with the remnants of the independent regiment?"

"Why did you report such a big matter now!" Ono stared at the chief of staff and asked sharply.

Successive defeats on the battlefield had already filled him with disappointment and dissatisfaction with the deputy chief of staff.

If he can't give himself a satisfactory explanation, Ono doesn't mind using this matter to ask the military to replace the chief of staff.

You must know that false reporting and deliberately delaying the reporting of military information are fatal mistakes that are absolutely not allowed for military commanders.

The chief of staff was also aware of Ono's anger, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he immediately expressed his thoughts verbatim.

After listening to the explanation, Ono felt powerless as if he had punched cotton.

The reason why the chief of staff concealed it and did not report it was all for himself.

In the end, he could only suppress his inner anger and curse: "Chief of Staff, do you know that because of your delay, we will have to wait at least half a day before we can continue to attack the Independence Regiment!"

"Immediately send a telegram to our troops outside the mountain, requesting the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army and a squadron of the Imperial Army to enter the mountain to reinforce us immediately!"

"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will immediately send troops to attack the fourth line of defense of the Independent Regiment."

The chief of staff couldn't help heaving a long sigh of relief. After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he realized that he had escaped this disaster.

Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, he replied immediately: "General, please rest assured, I will give the order right away!"

"Also, for the upcoming Xiamen, I will definitely not let the general down. After the reinforcements arrive, within three hours at most, I will command the troops to the Independence Regiment's base!"

"Yoxi!" Ono finally chose to give the chief of staff another chance.After all, he has partnered with him for several years, and he has always performed very well before.

Although the former enemy headquarters of the Independence Regiment hadn't rested all night, Wang Ping didn't feel sleepy at all.Because, the staff officer just delivered the loss situation to himself last night.

Facing the bloody casualty data, he couldn't sleep because of his heartache.

The second battalion plus the guard company and the third battalion firepower company had more than 600 people before departure, the chief of staff took away more than 200 people, and took away nearly 400 people himself. In the end, less than half of them came back alive.

The chief of staff was better off, because they were not captured at close range with the Japanese army, and the losses were less, and nearly 130 people were withdrawn alive in the end.

But even so, among the 130 people, there were about [-] seriously injured, and more than half of them were lost.

The most casualties were the troops that I brought. There were 250 people who died alone, and there were more than 130 seriously injured. Only [-] people came back unscathed.

"Chief of staff, that is to say, in one night, we lost 350 soldiers alone, and with the serious wounded, we lost more than 400 people."

"Yes, Commander!" The chief of staff replied with his head down.
