Chapter 281 Harvest and Cost

"what?"

"Can you say that again?"

In the headquarters of the 29th Division, the division commander suddenly jumped up from his chair and ran to the telegraph operator, his tone full of disbelief.

"Master, last night Luokou, more than 100 kilometers to the left, was occupied by devils. Now the communication lines on the flanks have been cut off. The [-] divisions of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army all want to be forced to retreat."

The telegraph operator repeated the telegram with a wry smile.

At this time, a regiment leader also ran in quickly. It was the regiment commander Liu who was in charge of the left wing. He was in charge of defending the area where the friendly army met.

"Commander, all the troops on the left have retreated. Luokou was occupied by a devil's regiment, and their logistics supplies were cut off first." The commander obviously knew the information better than the telegraph operator. He got the information from the 105th Division.

"How did they do that"

The corner of the teacher's mouth twitched.

A wing penetrated more than 100 kilometers to occupy the rear traffic arteries. This is really excellent. A devil's wing has at least 3000 people, and 3000 people blatantly penetrated and attacked the rear traffic arteries.

"The devils took advantage of the night to move, and they also brought a large number of bicycles and mules to speed up the march. In addition, the devils who attacked on the front line have stepped up their attacks in the past two days, and the attention of the defensive troops has been diverted."

The head of the regiment shook his head and told the news he had just heard from the 105th Division.

"I'm talking about how the defenders did it. There are more than 30 defenders, a distance of more than 100 kilometers, and there are two regiments in Luokou. How could it be occupied without a sound?"

The commander of the devil's moves is very clear. Light infantry and light equipment are interspersed in the forest. If you don't pay attention to the defensive troops, you will be cut off and divided. It is really hard for him to imagine how the defenders could not find out how a wing of defense lines penetrated more than 100 kilometers.

"cough cough..."

"They, hey" the head of the regiment shook his head, first sighed, seemed helpless, but also couldn't help laughing, and continued, "Hmph, it's not for the sake of robbing supplies, the two troops almost went off in order to rob the supplies, especially It was the two regiments from Luokou, and there was even an armed fight because of this, although they didn’t shoot, several people still died.”

"As a result, both sides tore away the troops defending Luokou, coupled with the pressure on the front line, so the troops were transferred to the front line."

"and···"

Speaking of this, the group leader paused deliberately, and then said in an extremely incredible tone.

"In the [-]-kilometer junction between the two armies, there is actually a blank area with a width of [-] kilometers."

"A three-kilometer defensive vacuum?"

The teacher widened his eyes.

"Well, both sides have withdrawn from the range of the other side's cold guns, because in the previous friction, the two armies often used cold guns on each other, but the higher-ups never dealt with it, so the frontline troops each retreated for more than a kilometer."

The head of the group finished the last sentence in a strange tone.

"Excellent..." The teacher was stunned for a long time, and could only hold back this sentence.

Although the various troops are obviously fighting on their own, after all, the nominal unified war of resistance is still there, and it is really amazing to be able to do this kind of thing.

After confirming the accuracy of the telegram, the division commander quickly suppressed the shock in his heart. After quietly expressing his admiration for the pig-like friendly army, he came to the map, looked at the military deployment map on the table, and fell into deep thought.

An enemy regiment occupied Luokou. Although the devils had few troops and no reinforcements, given Luokou's terrain, it would take at least five days to attack. There is a serious lack of large assault artillery.

Although the 120 mortar is powerful, but due to the particularity of the mortar, its damage to solid bunkers is only a little larger than that of the 75 caliber gun. Compared with the devil's 105 gun, the 120 mortar piece is much more powerful. , the destruction of the bunker was far worse.

Barrel artillery has an inherent advantage in muzzle velocity and projectile hardness.

If he guessed correctly, at this time the devils must launch an attack on the left position across the board, trying to join the interspersed wing, occupying an area of ​​more than 100 kilometers.

"Not enough, is there any use for the devils to occupy this area? There is no important city in a mountainous area?"

The teacher couldn't understand this point.

Devils used to occupy big cities. After all, big cities have large populations and factories, and they can search for materials and population resources. My base area is in a mountainous formation, with inconvenient transportation. The army of devils will not be attacked by my guerrillas Crazy?
The teacher didn't think much about it, nor did he think that the devil's purpose was to base the warehouse in the area. First, he didn't know that there were tens of millions of tons of supplies in the warehouse. The teacher thought that there were only one million tons in the warehouse as expected. The transportation will be suspended during this period. Secondly, the devils have always been mainly occupying the main roads or factories of the city, and rarely launch attacks for the purpose of robbing resources.

It's just that the division commander obviously doesn't know how powerful the transportation force in the base area is now, but without food and material restrictions, how huge the demographic dividend can explode is beyond anyone's imagination.

Looking at the deployment on the map, the division commander quickly made a decision.

"The defense line on my side is still firmly in my hands, and the defense lines of the 105th Division and the Sichuan Army next to me are also very solid, but considering that the devils will definitely outflank my side after occupying the left wing, it is necessary to shrink the defense line."

"But there is no need to rush to shrink, anyway, the devils are being suppressed and beaten now, take your time, first prepare the defense line in the rear, and then slowly retreat"

"It is best to set up the defense line in a mountainous area, so that the devil's heavy artillery will be powerless"

The teacher slowly plotted the plan.

······
The 29th Division belongs to the Independent Artillery Regiment.

"Regimental Commander, the third batch of cannons has been delivered, a total of [-] cannons, should they be distributed directly?"

In the headquarters, the head of the regiment was looking at the front edge of the position with a high-powered telescope, and a transport team leader walked in.This is the captain of the transportation team directly under the regiment, equipped with rare super mules, and is responsible for the transportation and transfer of cannons in the mountains.

"Well, let's distribute it directly to each battalion, each battalion has enough gunners"

The regiment leader nodded, and continued to look forward. In his field of vision, the devils attacked the position wave after wave. During this period, the bombardment of the devil's heavy artillery brigade was also mixed in. I have to admit that the devil's large-caliber heavy artillery is unparalleled. , it is not comparable to his 120 mortar. The 150 caliber gun with the lowest power is four times that of the 120 mortar shell. As for the 240 super heavy gun, it is 120 times that of the 10 mortar. The advantage of the barrel artillery made the devil's heavy artillery do great damage to the bunker.

Even cement and steel bunkers are difficult to support for a long time. Under the concentrated fire of the heavy artillery brigade, many reinforced concrete bunkers were also destroyed, and only those super large and super thick bunkers could support them.

but··
The line of defense binoculars looked at the captain of the transportation team who had just walked out of the door, and the captain sneered.

The devils are powerful, but they are not bad on their own side. If they are not as powerful, then they should be in numbers.

The independent heavy artillery regiment has always been overstaffed. The whole regiment has a total of nearly 7000 people and is usually equipped with more than 100 120 mortars. However, there are actually 120 independent artillery platoons. That is to say, the artillery regiment can be expanded at any time into a platoon with [-] Heavy Artillery Brigade with [-] heavy mortars.

But now with the third batch of cannons released later, even if the previous losses are removed, the number of cannons in the regiment is now 530. As for the supply of artillery shells, a transport team of more than 6 people in the rear is responsible for supplying artillery to the artillery regiment. Transport shells.

Moreover, after the battle started, a large number of shells were urgently dispatched from the rear. If there were no accidents, they would arrive tomorrow. As for the exact number, he didn't know, but it must not be less.

As soon as he thought about it, an officer walked in and told him about the transport team.

"Reporting to the head of the team, the transport team from the rear has arrived. It is currently parked at the third gate five kilometers away from us and is unloading. The transport team has a total of 80 carts and a total of [-] shells."

'Another five hundred spare 120mm mortars'

The corner of the leader's eyes twitched: "..."

He knew that there would be a lot of shells transported from the rear, but he didn't expect that there would be so many, and the news of his request to transport the shells had only been sent out for four days. In such a short period of time, nearly [-] tractor trucks were gathered. This organizational ability is also terrible .

However, so many shells also greatly increased the confidence of the regiment leader.

'Quantity versus quality, I have enough shells here, let's see who wins...'

Raising the binoculars again, he looked at the front-line positions. After about a few hours, the sound of the front-line guns suddenly became more intense, and new cannons joined the battle.

······
boom boom boom

Intensive hugs from afar kept coming.

At the Devils Command opposite the 29th Division, five Devils division heads and two Devils heavy artillery brigade heads gathered together. The headquarters was full of anxiety and cursing.

"Baga, Baga"

"Why did you stop the shelling support? Why did your heavy artillery brigade stop after so long? There are still so many bunkers on the opposite side."

A ghost division leader scolded angrily.
"Commander Kobayashi, all the shells in our brigade have been fired, and the rear logistics team will arrive tomorrow."

The brigade commander of the Artillery Brigade also knew that he was in the wrong, and instead of scolding the other party, he persuaded him sensibly.

After all, the artillery brigade and the opponent's artillery conducted a confrontation before, and the result was not satisfactory. A lot of shells were wasted, and the enemy's artillery did not decrease at all. In the woods, the mobility is very strong, and the transfer can be completed in almost one minute, and the transfer speed between the mountains is extremely fast. During the bombardment of more than two hours, the enemy was not hit at all.

However, as the low-altitude reconnaissance plane was shot down, no pilot dared to do low-altitude reconnaissance anymore. The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was extremely strong. Although there was no threat to high altitudes, they were almost 100% shot down at low altitudes.

But the enemy is hiding in the dense forest, invisible at high altitude, afraid to go at low altitude, no investigation, two hours of artillery bombardment has no results, the only effect is that the enemy has been transferred for two hours, and the shelling on the front line has been reduced a lot .

"telegraph"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the voice in the headquarters, and a telegraph operator handed over a piece of information.

"read"

The head of the No.17 Division, the commander of this offensive operation, said.

“来自方面军司令小冢大将的命令，第167师团、134师团、169师团、157师团、140师团即将抵达，全部归属No.17师团师团长指挥，务必在三天之内攻破八路军防线”

The telegraph operator read out the message.

Then another officer came in.The person who came was an officer of the supply team of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.His transport team of 5000 people and more than 500 large trucks brought a thousand tons of heavy artillery shells.

"In three hours, five aid divisions will arrive"

"Mr. Xiaolin's heavy artillery brigade is also ready. After three hours, you will be responsible for suppressing the opponent's artillery, and the rest of the division will launch a group attack."

The head of the Devil's No.17 division slapped the table hard.They have been attacking here for four days, and then they have not made an inch of progress for four days, which really makes these division heads feel ashamed.

"Hi!" The rest of the division heads also responded loudly.

Including the divisions and regiments who came to support, and the reserve soldiers behind them, they have a total of 40 people, and the opposite is only a division of the Eighth Route Army. Although this division is really too big, with a total of 12 people, the ratio of troops is also three to one one.

With such a huge ratio of troops, it makes no sense that they cannot attack the position.

······
In the end, due to the breach of the friendly positions on the two wings, and the endless reinforcements from the devils, and the Eighth Route Army in other places were also involved by the devils, only 35 regular troops came to support them. After a half, they retreated backwards, and even because of the haste of the retreat, they only had time to take away the masses in the base area. The transfer of more than 29 million people left the responsible militia with no spare capacity to deal with warehouses and resources, which were full of warehouses It fell into the hands of the devil.

But the devils are also uncomfortable. Although the 29th Division is surrounded on three sides, it has also become a salient, a salient that protrudes more than 70 kilometers in the occupied area. The fruits of the battle are gone.

In order to avoid accidents and stabilize the newly occupied area as soon as possible, the devils finally assembled more than 100 million offensive troops. Nearly half of the devils in the entire land of the Republic of China gathered in this 200-kilometer-long circular position.

Devil Command, 20 days after the battle ended.

"The statistical results are out. A total of 100 million tons of steel, grain, gasoline and other materials have been seized." The staff officer reported the amount of materials for this battle.

"so much"

"Yo Xi"

After hearing this number, the devil's general commander suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his face burst into laughter. With 2000 million tons of materials, and more than 300 million tons of steel among them, this battle is a big victory, an absolute victory.

"How about the losses of the various troops"

Then he asked and answered.

The staff officer hesitated for a while, then he took a deep breath and reported the number of casualties.
