Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 954 Bad News Continues (Second Update!)

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Less than 5 minutes after the chief of staff left, the screeching sound of shells crossing the sky reached his ears.

Lieutenant General Ito's face changed, and he shouted: "It's infantry artillery, at least ten infantry artillery will fire at us again!"

Soon, a large number of fireballs rose into the air outside the tent. The flames produced by these fireballs directly illuminated the garrison, and then the chief of staff rushed in.

"Sir, we have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, please move immediately, this place is too dangerous!" The head of the security brigade who came in with the chief of staff reported nervously.

Lieutenant General Ito did not embarrass his captain of the guard, and while preparing to transfer, he ordered: "Chief of Staff, contact the Field Artillery Brigade, and kill the infantry artillery exposed by the Eighth Route Army...I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army hidden near us still has such a powerful force." Artillery power!"

"Boom boom boom..."

After the command was issued, more intensive explosions began to sound outside the tent, and one of the shells directly hit a position less than 20 meters away from the tent.

The scorching air wave pushed the tent directly, and it was almost overturned!

"Protect the head of the division!" The captain of the guard ordered with lingering fear, and then seven or eight guards rushed into the tent and surrounded the head of the division, intending to use their bodies to block the bullets and fragments that might fly around.

A lieutenant rushed in along with him, with a panicked expression on his face!

"Division Commander, the east of the station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They assembled at least [-] mortars and bombarded our defense line. The troops suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements!"

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army wants to swallow our Central Route Army in one gulp!" Lieutenant General Ito had a very bold idea in his mind.

Although he was taken aback by this idea, Lieutenant General Ito, who slowly calmed down, thought more and more that it was possible.

Immediately ordered: "The artillery will counterattack immediately... Chief of Staff, draw a squadron from the mobile unit to reinforce the eastern defense line. In addition, draw one-third of the troops and heavy weapons from the tank brigade and anti-tank squadron. We must stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking!"

This time the chief of staff did not leave directly, and suggested after handing over the order to a combat staff officer next to him.

"Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army must have assembled so many infantry artillery and mortars to attack us. It is definitely not just for sneak attacks and harassment. It is for the safety of the division headquarters. I suggest that you contact the 136th Regiment immediately and ask them to transfer at least one infantry soldier. The brigade came to reinforce us~ No, one brigade is too small, it cannot be ruled out that this is the Eighth Route Army's siege for reinforcements, they must at least call in two infantry brigades for reinforcements!"

"As for the remaining infantry brigade, the protection division strengthens the field artillery and heavy artillery for them!"

"Also, we should order the reinforcement tank unit of the 135th Regiment to send half of the tanks back to the headquarters of the reinforcement division. They are fast, and it only takes half an hour to kill them!"

Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for almost a minute before deciding: "Just follow your suggestion just now and give the order~"

"Also, contact all the troops we can contact immediately, and find out the number, strength, and equipment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked them!"

"We have been mopping up their bases for so long, and we have been trying to meet their main force, but we can't. Why did so many Eighth Route Army troops pop up around us overnight!"

Time passed by, the anxious Lieutenant General Ito did not wait for the good news of the chief of staff, but he waited for even greater bad news.

"Sir, the southern defense line of our garrison was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They used at least one brigade's mountain artillery. The shelling intensity was very high. Before the attack even started, the squadron defending the south suffered more than half of the casualties?"

"Where's our artillery? Why haven't we launched a counterattack!" Lieutenant General Ito finally couldn't help cursing.

"The counterattack has already begun~ However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. The infantry artillery, mortars, and mountain artillery that have just been exposed are all scattered in units of two or three, and they are still bombarding. Transferring the artillery position, it is very difficult for our field artillery brigade to lock them, and the counterattack effect is very poor if we kill them!" The chief of staff who hurried over reported helplessly.

"Bageya Road!" Lieutenant General Ito cursed angrily.

As soon as the four words were spoken, another staff officer rushed in, with thick gunpowder smoke still on his face.

"Division commander, the north of the station was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The troops suffered heavy casualties, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

"There is also the east side that was first attacked. The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was too fierce. The three armored vehicles that went up just now were all destroyed by the shelling of the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops!"

Lieutenant General Ito was also anxious, and immediately asked: "Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have?"

"Two infantry squadrons, two tank squads, and two anti-tank squads~ the other infantry and armored units are in the artillery positions, protecting the artillery!" the chief of staff reported like a few treasures.

"Send them all out, and we must block the Eighth Route Army's offensive!" Lieutenant General Ito ordered through gritted teeth.

"Also, contact the tank brigade, the 136th Wing, and let them speed up and quickly reinforce the division headquarters. The tanks assigned by the tank brigade must come back within half an hour, otherwise the military law will be enforced!"

The violent explosion on the battlefield became the best cover for the transfer of the two tanks in the hands of the direct subordinate team, and the dull roar did not attract anyone's attention.

"Captain, the devil's artillery station is in front~ All the field artillery has been set up, and we are conducting a confrontation with our artillery~ The heavy artillery is being deployed, and it shouldn't take long to participate in the battle!"

"You must not let their heavy artillery fire!" Li Wen decided decisively.

"The power of the heavy artillery is too great. When a shell hits it, the shock wave of soldiers in a radius of tens of meters can kill people. Once these heavy artillery are fired, the casualties of the three newly formed main battalions must exceed our imagination. !"

"Commander Jin, is your assault battalion ready? If ready, we will kill them now and raid their artillery positions!"

"It's ready, let's go now!" Jin Kai replied with excitement on his face.

When there were more than 200 meters away from the artillery position, the dull roar of the engine finally overwhelmed the sound of the artillery on the artillery position and reached the ears of the infantry around the artillery position.

The devil infantry subconsciously shot a shuttle of bullets in the direction of the sound.

It's okay not to shoot, but the devil will regret it once he shoots.

The headlights of the two tanks were suddenly turned on, and the devil infantry in front of them were directly illuminated, and then the vehicle-mounted machine guns and the assault battalion behind the tanks fired.

Four vehicle-mounted machine guns and more than twenty light machine guns fired together, and the bullets swished towards them like an impenetrable steel storm.

Many devils still had expressions of astonishment on their faces, the bullets had already smashed their bodies into sieves!
"The Eighth Route Army wants to sneak attack on the artillery positions... Counterattack, counterattack immediately, firmly block them, and protect the artillery positions!" The infantry squadron leader was also frightened, but he quickly reacted and ordered, suppressing his inner panic.

"Da da da……"

Several machine gun firepower points around opened fire quickly, but the swishing bullets hit the tank armor, which had no effect other than sparking a series of sparks.The two tanks still roared and continued to kill them, and the vehicle's heavy machine guns also stared at them and fired!

Under the protection of the guards, Lieutenant General Ito anxiously waited for the reinforcements to arrive quickly.

At this time, not only did he lose the high spirits he had a few days ago, but he also began to worry about his life.

"Division Commander, the artillery position has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the guards are about to lose their hold!" Suddenly, a figure rushed into the tent.Before Lieutenant General Ito could see the other party clearly, the sound of a frightened report reached his ears.

"Impossible... There is an infantry squadron and three armored vehicles in the artillery position. How could it be impossible to hold it at the beginning!" Lieutenant General Ito calmed down with the last bit of reason, staring at his subordinates and asked.

"Tanks, the Eighth Route Army dispatched two tanks!" The subordinate quickly replied.

"It's over... The artillery is over..." Lieutenant General Ito suddenly thought of these words, and his face turned pale!
I have completely forgotten about the two tanks that the Eighth Route Army just seized in Xiangfen City.
