Chapter 180 Things Are Not Optimistic
The transportation convoy between Beixiazhuang and Meng County was attacked, 67 vehicles were all damaged, and more than 200 soldiers were killed or injured.

A lone piece of information was placed on the table, the information had been opened, and the Japanese text on it was clearly visible to everyone.

Slap.....Crackling.....

The slap on the table made a violent sound, and the table was shaken, as if it was about to collapse.Beside the table was the furious head of the division. At this time, he was staring fiercely at a Japanese army commander in the headquarters, almost wanting to devour him.

"Hi"

Commander Ri Gaosheng of Meng County's garrison shrank his neck, lowered his head, and stopped talking after silently cheering.

He didn't know how to explain this matter, because it couldn't be explained at all. He was duty-bound to assume that the transport team was attacked in his defense zone. This responsibility must be assumed by him, but he was also very desperate for this matter.

The road between Beixiazhuang and Meng County is only more than 60 kilometers, and the straight-line distance is less than [-] kilometers.

There is a brigade stationed in Beixiazhuang, and Meng County even has his unit. Logically, according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for guerrillas to dare to ambush the transport team here. If a battle occurs anywhere between this road, his The wing can also arrive for support within two hours. With his strength as a fully formed wing, unless the Republic of China army dispatches a fully formed division, any ambusher will never come back.

However, the army of the Republic of China ambushed the transport team during this period, not only successfully disabled the transport team, but also completely retreated.

This is simply a slap in the face.

As soon as the convoy was attacked, he received a telegram for help, saying that the enemy was outnumbered.This time the transport team has a reinforced squadron with more than 300 escort squadrons, and the enemy that allows them to call for emergency help must also be very strong.So he immediately led a reinforced brigade of nearly 2000 people to support. In order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible, his brigade marched all the way in a hurry, and it took less than an hour and a half to reach the battlefield.

But what was left to him was bombed and smashed transport vehicles and burned supplies all over the ground, and more than 200 soldiers were killed in battle. Note that it was not casualties, but deaths in battle.

According to the report of the surviving soldiers, the entire battle lasted only half an hour, and the attackers had very strong firepower. During the half-hour attack period, the continuous shelling never stopped.

Moreover, the enemy is not interested in fighting at all, and immediately retreats after half an hour,

Ri Gaosheng also specially checked the battle site, and the ground was indeed full of shell craters.

"General"

Having organized his thoughts in his mind, Ri Gaosheng began to speak.

"This time the convoy was attacked, and I am duty-bound. The enemy's ability to organize such a large-scale ambush in my jurisdiction is a major dereliction of duty on my security work, and the squadron leader in charge of the escort is also on the alert. It is my dereliction of duty to discipline my subordinates."

No matter what the cause of the matter is, it is always right to admit that you are wrong first.Based on this principle, Ri Gaosheng made a wave of voluntary confession first.

And his eyes also saw the expected scenery, the anger in the division commander's eyes decreased a lot.

In his heart, he couldn't help but praise himself, but on the surface, Ri Gaosheng still put on a look of grief and continued.

"After this ambush, I found that a lot of our previous intelligence was wrong, and a lot of common sense was wrong." He emphasized with two repeated words, thereby attracting the attention of the division commander.

"Let's talk about it." The head of the division really became interested.

"In our occupied areas, that is, in Shanxi, Hebei, and Chahar, there are a large number of guerrillas of the Republic of China. The main force is called the Eighth Route Army. We used to think that these troops were poor in combat effectiveness, poor in weapons and equipment, and lacked in supplies. , and the training of the soldiers is also poor, so they have not paid much attention to it.”

"This can be shown in the battle of Pingxingguan"

"If they want to ambush the imperial army, they must hit the superior force. With the same force or even one to two forces, they are not opponents of the imperial army at all."

"And because of the lack of ammunition, their combat method is very simple. After a short firepower confrontation, they immediately charge to fight hand-to-hand at close range."

"But in this ambush, they showed a completely different behavior from the past"

Speaking of this, he paused, took out a few photos, spread them on the table one by one, and pointed to the photos and said.

"This is a photo I took from the scene"

"Look, commander, here, here..."

Ri Gaosheng pointed to the two photos, focusing on the bomb crater and the bombed car in the photos.

"All the cars were blown up by mortar shells. There are a lot of craters around the battlefield. From the perspective of power, it is bigger than grenadiers, but smaller than 82mm mortars, so it should be 60 caliber mortars. Shotgun"

"After the war, I counted that there were more than 3000 bomb craters on the road here. After calculation, the actual enemy fired more than 8000 mortar shells in this ambush. In addition, according to the reports of the surviving soldiers, the enemy's machine gun fire started from the battle. It didn't stop until the end, and even the enemy didn't clean up the battlefield after the battle, even if we didn't collect the guns and ammunition we discarded, but retreated directly."

"I also found a large number of warheads left by the enemy on the road"

Listening to the report of his regiment leader and looking at the photos on the table, the division leader was stunned for a while.

He is very familiar with the Eighth Route Army. It is said that the main purpose of its operations is to harass the supply line in the rear. In his opinion, this group of guerrillas who have to be self-sufficient in weapons, ammunition and food supplies is a joke. They rely on manually reloading a few bullets in the countryside Coming to fight the imperial army is simply courting death.As long as the battle ahead stabilizes, these fleas can be wiped out in minutes after the empire withdraws its hand.

And the facts also support his cognition. Although the news of the convoy being ambushed often comes from the rear, the ambushed are all small-scale convoys. Even if they try their best to organize several large-scale attacks, it will not hurt However, the empire can afford the loss of several transport brigades, and it cannot have a decisive impact on the frontline battle situation.

However, he knew very well that the only factor that caused this situation was the poor equipment and supplies of the Eighth Route Army. They couldn't even organize a few decent large-scale battles. In their eyes, an army of one brigade was tough.

And if the Eighth Route Army has obtained enough weapons and ammunition, then the supply line in the rear...

"Are you sure it's the Eighth Route Army?"

With contemplation in his eyes, the head of the division asked.

"Yes, the attackers were wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army," Ri Gaosheng replied affirmatively.

"Where did they get so many weapons and ammunition?" Looking at the photos on the table and the road full of bomb craters, the division chief was puzzled.
