Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 629 Devil's New Tactics (First Update!)

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that wants to break out of the siege has been blocked by us at the foot of the mountain. There are troops from the imperial army in several directions. Do you want to contact the defenders of the stronghold so that we can launch an attack together and wipe them out!" The fireball was fired, and even the panicked figures of the Eighth Route Army could be seen during the shelling, the adjutant couldn't help but suggested, with a frenzied look on his face.

Unexpectedly, the squadron leader who had always been ambitious and looked down on the Chinese army refused.

"Baga, have you forgotten the orders from the captain and the brigade headquarters?"

"Also, if these Eighth Route Army were really so easy to destroy, they were killed by us a month ago, and it is impossible to wait until now. Don't look at them being surrounded by us now, but you have forgotten an old Chinese saying, the rabbit is in a hurry They can bite people, not to mention that they are well-equipped and powerful troops of the Eighth Route Army.”

"How much do you want us to sacrifice the lives of the imperial army to destroy them? One squad, two squads, or even the entire infantry squadron?"

After a series of rhetorical questions, although the adjutant was unwilling, he could only obediently keep his mouth shut.

In fact, the squadron leader didn't want to let go of this golden opportunity more than anyone else.

In his opinion, the imperial army's attack from three sides, and the condescending attack, will definitely wipe out the new group of food at the foot of the mountain.

But he didn't dare, as the squadron leader, although he was not a senior officer of the brigade, but because he had a good relationship with the brigade leader, he had heard from the brigade leader the ideas of the higher-ups, especially the brigade leader.

Major General Matsumoto, head of the brigade, summed up several important reasons why the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment, which had come to an end, were able to rise again under heavy encirclement and suppression.

The two most important ones are that the imperial army underestimated the enemy, and the imperial army was too impulsive.

It's easy to explain underestimating the enemy, but impulsiveness is a bit intriguing.

Major General Matsumoto explained to everyone that in several consecutive battles with the Xinyi Regiment, the Xinyi Regiment showed the role of a hunter, while the imperial army played the role of prey, completely reversed.

As the prey of the imperial army, he was impulsive in every battle, taking the initiative to attack, actively attack, or actively encircle and suppress to create opportunities for the new group of hunters.

And at this time, the hunters are quietly lurking around, as long as the imperial army shows a little weakness on the battlefield, they will pounce on them, bite them hard, and then retreat quickly
Since neither impulsive nor proactive attack can kill the new regiment, but also lose troops and generals.Major General Matsumoto's first thought was to change the way, to stop quietly, to be the hunter himself, and let the new group of remnants be the prey.

In the orders to several captains, specific requirements were put forward in the battle against the new regiment.Unless you are absolutely sure, you must never take the initiative to attack.

No one can guarantee that once the imperial army attacks, the roles of hunter and prey will change again on the battlefield.

During the battle that lasted more than half a month, too many such things happened, and Major General Matsumoto couldn't help but be careless.

Especially after confirming the news that the Xinyi Regiment's garrison in Dashanli was destroyed by aviation, Matsumoto issued a strict order to the garrison on the blockade line: no one or any unit can take the initiative to fight against the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment.All the ministries strictly guarded the line of defense, blocked the remnants of the Xinyi regiment in the mountain, and let the remnants of the Xinyi regiment, which had run out of ammunition and food, fend for themselves in the mountain.

It was for these reasons that the squadron leader suppressed his inner impulse.

Of course, not taking the initiative to attack does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot be attacked remotely.

The conversation changed, followed by an order: "All troops immediately turn to defense, block the troops of the Eighth Route Army who want to come out of the mountain, and drive them back. The artillery troops fired with all their strength and killed them with shells!"

Wang Ping was very surprised. He hid in the trench with a pistol in hand, and he didn't wait for the devils to attack for a long time.

"Commander, what are the devils doing? Why don't they attack? Don't they have reinforcements?" Hong Ruijun next to him asked nervously but fortunately,

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "I don't know the specific reason?"

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, if this stalemate continues, it is impossible for the three shelf companies in the first row to rush past the devil's nose. Moreover, the devil's artillery is better than ours. The artillery platoon must have three mortars. It won't last long."

This was something that the leader of the Devil Squadron hadn't thought of. Although his own style of play was very aggrieved, it forced Wang Ping to retreat, and there was no solution.

Right at this moment, Wang Ping clearly felt that the artillery company's counterattack had weakened.

It took a long time for one or two shells to go over everyone's heads and hit the Devil's artillery position.

Not only that, the Devil Artillery seems to be full of confidence in cleaning up the artillery company.The only three mortars not only fired at the artillery company, but also sent a mortar to fire shells at the guard company.

"Da da da" not only that, there was intensive machine gun fire from the opposite daily average position without warning.

Just as Wang Ping frowned, he saw dozens of devil soldiers rushing out of the position.

These devils who rushed out, without exception, were either carrying grenades or bags full of grenades.

After rushing forward for 50 meters, they set up grenades under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns behind them.A row of nine grenadiers, ready to let the grenades also join in the long-range fire attack on the guard company.

Hong Ruijun looked nervously at every move of the frontier Rijun, and when he was about to ask the regiment leader if he was going to fight back, Wang Ping had already spoken, his tone full of helplessness and unwillingness.

"Retreat, everyone withdraws from the battlefield and returns to the woods!"

"Head, did you rush out without covering them?" Hong Ruijun stared at Wang Ping as if he had misheard and asked.

"How to rush?" Wang Ping shook his head and asked, and then explained helplessly.

"The devils stood still and stared at us. All the light and heavy machine guns were aimed at us. As long as we moved, no matter who it was, they would be smashed into a sieve in an instant. If the devils take the initiative to attack us, we can take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to repel the devils." When the time comes, let them rush through the open space with the devils and rush into the bushes!"

"The devil is too cautious. He must be afraid of being beaten by us in front of him. As a last resort, he will definitely replenish it and fight with us."

"Order the troops to retreat immediately along the traffic trench. As for how to get out, I will think of other ways."

Hong Ruijun was very unwilling, retreating now means that the guards even killed more than 20 soldiers who had just been killed in vain.

For a newly formed force, such a blow is absolutely devastating.

After returning, the morale of the guard company will definitely drop to the lowest level.

However, what the leader said was the truth, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only obey the order.
