Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 963 An Unsolvable Problem (Second Update!)

"Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack has started again!" the chief of staff shouted in panic as soon as he rushed over.

"The shells are coming from all directions, how come there are so many of them!" Lieutenant General Ito was also frightened by the dense explosions ringing in his ears, staring at the chief of staff and asked.

"I don't know about humble positions!" The chief of staff shook his head and replied.

"Aerial reconnaissance report by the Air Force during the day, there is no Eighth Route Army on all the roads leading to us. Why did so many people gather around us in just a few hours, and there are dozens of mortars!"

"It must have been divided into small paths. Our aviation troops are all staring at the road. Small targets can easily escape their detection by walking on small paths. That must be the case!" Lieutenant General Ito suddenly realized.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and began to give an order: "Order the artillery, and immediately counterattack!"

"The Eighth Route Army only used mortars to sneak up on us from a long distance. We have more mortars than they do. Two of them are enough to attack them. If we can't fight back and kill them, we can directly use infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and field artillery!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff immediately ordered the combat staff officers around him to give orders.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked back: "Division commander, do you want to order armored vehicles and infantry to attack... Under the cover of artillery, fight back against the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"No!" Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied.

Then his face became ugly: "It is night now, and we are not familiar with the surrounding terrain. If we attack rashly, not only will we not be able to attack the Eighth Route Army, but we may be bitten back by the Eighth Route Army who attacked us. It is not worthwhile!"

Lieutenant General Ito was frightened by the Eighth Route Army's sneaky night attack methods, so he refused after thinking about it.

It didn't take long for the mortar squadrons, mountain artillery squadrons, and infantry artillery squadrons scattered throughout the garrison to start counterattacking.

At this moment, the constant explosions in the station stopped as if they had been discussed.

"Division commander, our artillery drove away the mortars of the Eighth Route Army as soon as they fired!" The chief of staff took the opportunity to compliment.

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

As soon as the words were finished, the explosion sounded again.

Not only that, but this time there was also the sound of machine gun fire and various other gunshots.

The chief of staff's face turned red in an instant, and the Eighth Route Army slapped him severely with shelling, which made him see once again how difficult his opponent was.

"Something's wrong~" Lieutenant General Ito yelled with a frown, ignoring the chief of staff's compliment.

"The shells are all falling around our garrison, and there are gunshots, it must not be a sneak attack~"

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Ito showed an expression of enlightenment, and then his face turned pale, and then continued to shout: "I understand, this time the Eighth Route Army is not attacking us from a long distance with artillery fire, but attacking us. The defensive line around the garrison launches an attack!"

"Impossible~" the chief of staff subconsciously retorted.

Then he shouted: "Is the Eighth Route Army crazy? We have a main force of [-] elite troops... Even if the entire Xinyi regiment is killed, they will not have the guts to attack us!"

"Master, may it be that you are worrying too much!"

"Report!" A lieutenant communications officer rushed over suddenly, with panic on his face!
"Sir, the defense line to the east of the garrison was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the defenders and patrol troops on the defense line suffered heavy losses. We request reinforcements!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communication officer rushed over: "Sir, the north of the station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army..."

"The artillery will launch a counterattack immediately...the mortars in the hands of the Eighth Route Army must be destroyed~" Lieutenant General Ito gave the order almost roaring.

"Armored Detachment ~ Reinforce each battlefield separately, and assist the defenders to repel the Eighth Route Army's attack!"

"We have more than 7000 people. If we want guns and guns, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to swallow us up even if a new regiment arrives... This must be a conspiracy by the Eighth Route Army. Other troops should strengthen their guard and reinforce the defenders around the station at any time!"

After 10 to [-] minutes, more than a dozen armored vehicles arrived in place one after another to participate in the battle, and the sound of guns surrounding Lieutenant General Ito's ears slowly stopped.

The battlefield, which was still lively just now, suddenly fell silent.

"Division commander...the Eighth Route Army that attacked us retreated...just?" a combat staff officer rushed over to report.

"Just what? Just say something, what time is it now, what else can't be said!" Lieutenant General Ito frowned, his face did not change because the gunfire stopped, and he stared at the combat staff and ordered angrily. .

"Hi!" The combat staff officer hesitated for a few seconds to reply.

"The casualties of the troops are slightly higher!"

"A total of twelve Eighth Route Army launched attacks on our garrison at the same time. Each Eighth Route Army was covered by artillery fire. Our troops guarding around the garrison almost lost their partners. In addition, there were eight patrols that were devastated by the Eighth Route Army. The entire army was wiped out. The artillery shells smashed into the garrison also caused us a lot of casualties..."

"According to the statistics: 286 people were killed in battle, and 51 people lost combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries!"

"What about the casualties of the Eighth Route Army! It is impossible for our troops not to fight back. They also have guns and cannons in their hands, not fire sticks!"

"This..." The combat staff officer looked hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

But when he saw Lieutenant General Ito's eyes about to get angry again, he hurriedly said.

"The casualties are not large!"

"Before the armored unit took part in the battle, our troops were suppressed and beaten by the Eighth Route Army~"

"Although there are not many Eighth Route Army attacking us, their firepower is very strong. Each Eighth Route Army is equipped with at least five light machine guns and three mortars~ and our defenders at each firepower point have only one reinforcement squad, so they are not opponents at all!"

"Also, as soon as our armored units and reinforcements went to the battlefield to join the battle, the Eighth Route Army voluntarily withdrew from the battle..."

The chief of staff next to him suddenly interrupted: "Division commander, you can be sure... the purpose of the Eighth Route Army's attack is to consume our troops, not to wipe us out!"

Lieutenant General Ito did not answer, but listened to the chief of staff asking: "Now that the defense line around the garrison is joined by armored vehicles, can we guarantee to defeat them when the Eighth Route Army attacks again?"

"Yes..." the chief of staff affirmed.

But without waiting for Lieutenant General Ito to speak, he continued: "But there is a prerequisite, the Eighth Route Army is attacking the firepower of our armored vehicles!"

"The garrison is too big. There are more than [-] large and small firepower points around the garrison, and there are only a dozen armored vehicles. Even if an armored vehicle is in charge of one firepower point, half of the firepower points can be guaranteed!"

"As for the remaining firepower, I can't guarantee it!"

"Also, we can't guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will change their sneak attack methods. They are too cunning. We have never seen many sneak attack methods before, and there is no way to defend against them!"

"Bageya Road~The Eighth Route Army has created a problem for me?" Lieutenant General Ito cursed loudly, clenched his fists, with anger in his eyes.
