Under such circumstances, continuing to attack would undoubtedly only increase casualties in vain.But if they stop attacking, it means that their whole day's hard work is almost in vain.Those dead soldiers, didn't they die in vain?

Thinking of this, although Renjian Xiusan was unwilling, he still said: "Send a report to the two regiment captains! Tell them that you can stop the infantry attack. But at night, the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to rest in the position, and must continue to bombard .

Also, gather up all the remains of the soldiers that were broken during the day.When the heavy artillery unit arrives tomorrow, I must kill all the Chinese soldiers on those positions.This is the worst casualty suffered by my No.12 brigade since its establishment.Bageya Road! "

Exhausted plan!

Regardless of whether the Chinese understand it, the little devil naturally understands it too.They are tired, and the Eighth Route Army that blocked them today is equally tired.In this case, it depends on who can hold on.As the attacking party, they will naturally find ways to weaken the will of the defenders.

After receiving the instructions from the brigade, the two captains heaved a long sigh of relief.Order the troops to start camping and rest, and build fortifications, in addition to guarding against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army on the position, they also sent people to collect the corpses.

It's just that the Eighth Route Army who came to reinforce them still ignored the little devil's act of raising the white flag to collect the corpse.It's not that easy to collect the corpse quickly.

Although such an approach seems somewhat inhumane.But the officers of the independent column knew that this was the principle taught by He Zhengdao.As long as it is an enemy, there is no need to talk about benevolence and righteousness.On the battlefield, there is no room for mercy.

Facing the Eighth Route Army, he didn't even give him a chance to collect the corpse.Although the two captains were angry, they were equally helpless.They know that when the two armies are at war, there is little benevolence, justice and morality to be seen.As long as there is an opportunity, they are eager to consume the opponent's strength.

Corpse collection soldiers, that is also soldiers.Since it is a soldier, it must be eliminated.On the battlefield, sometimes it is so unreasonable!

Seeing that the little devil finally refused to send someone to collect the body, but fired a cannon to retaliate.The Eighth Route Army soldier hiding in the cat's ear hole also smiled and said: "Damn, I want to collect the corpse, dreaming! Let's blow it up! Let's blow it up! Let's see how long you can blow it up!"

From today's fighting situation, it can be seen that the intensity of the little devil's shelling is also shrinking.Under such circumstances, how could the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the ground not guess that the shells carried by the little devil were almost exhausted.

Without artillery, both armies used similar weapons.Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly easier for the Eighth Route Army, which occupies a favorable terrain, to block them.Therefore, they also didn't pay much attention to the little devil's shelling and revenge.

After receiving the notification from the forward position, the commander of the third regiment, who was in command of Zhuo Zi's defense, also said thoughtfully: "It seems that the little devil retreated in spite of the difficulties, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to launch a big attack tonight.

However, tell the defenders on the two positions to be vigilant and not let the little devil take advantage of the loopholes.In addition, don't send troops to sneak attack at night, just keep your position and wait for the order to retreat tomorrow! "

According to the news reported by the reconnaissance brigade conducting intelligence reconnaissance behind the enemy, He Zhengdao, who was in command of the overall battle in Suiyuan, had informed the third regiment that the Japanese army had a heavy artillery unit and was about to rush to Zhuozi.

In the face of the little devil, he pulled out the heavy artillery unit again, and the third regiment leader knew it very well.It is estimated that it will be very difficult to hold on to the two blocking positions that have been held for a day.But being able to fight for one night is actually pretty good.

According to the order they accepted, in addition to delaying the time for the Japanese division to enter Suiyuan, the third regiment also needed to kill and injure the invading Japanese army.Judging from today's battle, the two main battalions are fighting very well.

Although this is the unit with the largest number of sacrifices since the formation of the three regiments.But the number of little devils they eliminated was also the most since the establishment of the third regiment.War is like this, if you want to kill others, you have to pay the price.

On the other hand, at this time, He Zhengdao sent a telegram to the reconnaissance brigade operating in Zhuozi.Tomorrow, they will set up blocking positions behind the two main battalions.

Wait for the two main battalions to retreat at any time, and block the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that may pursue them.However, He Zhengdao still did not report this situation to the third regiment.Because, it's still early for them to retreat! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The No. 12 Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was in charge of attacking Zhuozi, probably never imagined that they would be bumped into each other in their first battle with the independent column.The attack, which lasted for a day, finally ended in failure.

Looking at the still-silent blocking position in the distance, the Japanese soldiers on guard at the foot of the mountain also felt a headache.The fighting during the day had already made them realize that it might not be a wise decision for them to come to North China to participate in the encirclement and suppression war.

It's just that this time they went out to cooperate with the North China Front Army to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. It was more because the current North China Front Army commander Sugiyama Moto had also served as the division commander of the No.12 Division.

Now that the head of the teacher group needs help, how can they sit idly by?

What's more, they were very happy to go out and join the war.After all, only by continuously participating in battles can they continuously reap military exploits and finally be promoted and promoted.

In their opinion, what should have been an errand to accumulate military exploits turned into a brutal battle. The feelings of these Japanese soldiers can be imagined.Fortunately, they all know that the reinforcements will still belong to them when they win tomorrow.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which was staying in the blocking position at the moment, didn't take much rest.According to the order issued by the regiment headquarters, the remains of all the officers and soldiers killed in this battle were also transferred to the rear overnight by them.

As for the wounded, they were naturally transferred to the rear hospital for treatment.In addition, the officers and soldiers who fought hard all day during the day were arranged to rest in the air defense trenches.The task of being on duty is handed over to the reinforcements who arrived in the evening.

Listening to the sound of shells exploding on the ground after a while, the previous two times really worried them.It can be seen that the little devil only fired but did not attack. Most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the ground guessed that the little devil was trying to exhaust the soldiers.

In view of this situation, the two battalion commanders who temporarily replaced the commander quickly said: "The fighters who fight during the day still rest, and the rest of the fighters rest in the cat's ear hole next to the trench. If there is any situation, they can fight at any time."

In this way, no matter the fighters in the air defense trenches or the fighters in the cat's ear holes, they can get a good rest.Even if you can't sleep soundly, it's okay to squint once in a while.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army in the blocking position is not without countermeasures against the little devil's shelling and harassment.Using large-caliber mortars, the Eighth Route Army on the ground also fired a shot down the mountain from time to time, retaliating against them in their own way.

As a result, it was obvious that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain couldn't get a peaceful rest, and the little devils on the mountain couldn't rest in peace either.The most terrible thing is that the little devils who are on guard at the foot of the mountain are always worried that the shells fired from the mountain will fly to them.

When the two armies on the front line began to form a confrontation, the reconnaissance brigade squad active behind the enemy began to move at night.The heavy artillery unit that came out from Ulanqab was naturally also under the surveillance of the reconnaissance brigade.

Even if the heavy artillery regiment is around, there is also a regiment of infantry protecting it.But for the squad of the reconnaissance brigade, they didn't think about encircling and annihilating the officers and soldiers of the heavy artillery wing, but to carry out harassment tactics against them.

The heavy artillery regiment, which also did not choose to march at night, quickly set up camp and began to rest under the protection of the infantry regiment.For them, the road conditions during the day are also a headache for them.

The power of heavy artillery is self-evident, but to drag these heavy artillery, the requirements for road conditions are quite high.Even if the Japanese army dispatched many engineering troops to help correct the truth before the war, it is still difficult to march on some roads.

The officers and soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, who had worked so hard on their way, began to rest after dinner.As for the task of guarding and patrolling at night, the infantry wing is in charge, so they don't have to worry too much.

Even if the heavy artillery regiment chooses to rest, it is a relatively wide field of vision. The infantry regiment with a cordon can effectively detect enemies who may sneak attack them at night.But such a warning line is naturally not too far away.

Looking at the barracks where the Japanese Heavy Artillery Wing rested in front, the reconnaissance brigade squad lurking to the periphery also stared carefully at the Japanese Heavy Artillery Wing barracks ahead.As for the infantry patrol posts that are relatively close, they are also constantly watching.

When the time was close to midnight, watching the patrolling infantry, they also began to shrink the cordon inward.The four reconnaissance brigade detachments in an attitude of encirclement quickly launched an operation to clear the outer guard posts first.

Under the shooting of crossbow arrows, many scattered Japanese patrols were silently eliminated.When entering the two-kilometer area, all the squads stopped advancing decisively and began to lay minefields ahead.

After everything was ready, looking at the returning scouts, the team leader immediately said: "There are still 5 minutes, everyone starts to prepare. After five consecutive shots, everyone withdraws from the battle!"

'Yes, captain! '

The task of the reconnaissance brigade squad that sneaked into the area this time was to delay the marching speed of the heavy artillery wing.As long as they arrive at Zhuozi's border a little later, their mission will be considered a complete success.

When each squad came out, they were assigned two 120-caliber mortars.This kind of mortar with a range of five kilometers is undoubtedly a good sneak attack weapon for the reconnaissance team.

Even the 120 caliber mortars are not light, and most of the teams that can ride horses use horses to transport the two mortars.In this way, the action of the reconnaissance team will not be delayed.

Watching the pointer point to twelve o'clock, the other three reconnaissance teams quickly launched shelling.Although the two mortars are a bit small, they are an invisible deterrent to the officers and soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Wing.

As the two artillery shells screamed and went straight to the heavy artillery regiment's camp, the Japanese infantry who were patrolling the periphery immediately screamed: "Enemy attack! Shelling!"

The ear-piercing screams, accompanied by the rapid fall of the shells into the barracks of the Heavy Artillery Regiment.The deafening explosion caused many Japanese soldiers who fell asleep to jump up from the camp bed in an instant, and hurriedly put on their clothes and prepared to fight.

The hurried whistle that resounded in the camp area made the originally silent military camp instantly become chaotic.Fortunately, the little devil also made an emergency assembly at night, and things like Xiaoying would still not happen.

Just when the infantry regiment responsible for the safety of the heavy artillery regiment planned to rush to the place where the artillery shells were fired and eliminate the enemies who sneaked into the bombardment.The shells fired from the other three directions caused the shocked infantry captain to break out in a cold sweat.

Cautiously said: "Baga, are we surrounded? Why didn't our outer guard post issue a warning? Order the troops to strictly guard the camp area and prepare to block it. Notify the heavy artillery unit and let them carry out artillery counterattacks."

Seeing the shells flying into the camp from four directions, the infantry regiment leader's first reaction was that they might be surrounded.In this case, it may be a wise decision to stick to the camp.

As for sending troops to destroy the enemy's artillery positions, it was also very dangerous in his opinion.In this case, it may be a good decision to use one's own artillery to counterattack.

One after another, the shells fell into the barracks, putting all the officers and soldiers of the infantry and heavy artillery regiments in a state of high tension.The Heavy Artillery Wing, which also responded, also began to set up artillery to prepare for a counterattack.

But for the sneak attack reconnaissance brigade squad, seeing the Japanese barracks that had been attacked by forty shells, they quickly packed up their artillery and left.By the time the Japanese army countered the artillery attack, they had already left the previous place.

Hearing the sound of heavy artillery fire from outside the barracks, the captain of the Japanese army immediately said: "Let the cavalry squadron go and scout the situation!"
