Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

This devil is so stubborn, doesn't he know how to hide? He just stands there and gets shot.

Now that the system rewards so many mines, more laborers are needed. The Japs are top-quality laborers, and the potato-loving Soviets have long praised them for this.

It seems that we have to fight more gently next time, and it would be best to capture more Japanese prisoners.

Lin Tian thought.

If the Japanese knew this, they would probably want to die again. They tried their best to avoid it, but they couldn't...

"Commander, news has come from Zhenhua that traces of another group of devils were found 120 kilometers away from us." At this time, Liu Wu and his men had also caught up and reported.

"Oh? Where?" Lin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up and asked.

"It's here, Old Eagle Mountain! However, about four armies of the Central Army have surrounded the Japs and are fighting fiercely with them." Liu Wu took out a map and pointed.

"Central Army? Why did they go there?" Lin Tian asked.

Liu Wu reported the specific intelligence. Since Lin Tian was not staying in the command center, the news would inevitably be delayed.

After listening to Liu Wudao’s report, Lin Tian suddenly realized.

"How is the Central Army fighting?" Lin Tian continued to ask.

Since the Central Army has surrounded the Japanese, it would be somewhat unreasonable for them to go and grab heads.

Lin Tian wants both substance and face.

We have to get the head without letting the central army have any complaints. It would be best if... we could thank him in return.

This is really a way to make money while standing.

"The Central Army had a hard time fighting. According to Zhenhua's report, the Japanese almost broke through several times, but they used air strikes to help the Central Army."

"Commander Song even called us to thank us."

Liu Wu said with a smile that he already understood Lin Tian’s thoughts.

"No wonder. They were the Japanese's elite 110th Division. Although they retreated, their combat power is still there."

"Besides, they are surrounded and at risk of being destroyed at any time. They will definitely be doomed to fail."

"Although the Central Army has an absolute advantage in manpower, the Japanese often outnumber their opponents. The outcome of this battle is still unknown."

Lin Tian smiled and said that since the Central Army was fighting so hard, his chance had come.

"Tell Zhenhua and his men not to attack proactively. They just need to help the Central Army defend the encirclement."

"Commander Song will definitely ask us for help."

"Order the troops to resupply and head towards Eagle Mountain in half an hour."

Lin Tian continued.

Liu Wu nodded, and the two smiled at each other.

……

At Laoying Mountain, Chen Hu looked at the charge that was once again repelled and punched the bunker in anger.

"Ah! Damn it, we've been beaten back again! This 110th Division is really a tough nut to crack!"

"Order the artillery to bombard the enemy positions for half an hour, and then organize another charge half an hour later! I don't believe we can't take this high ground!"

Chen Hu said angrily.

On the other side, Zhang Jun was also having a hard time fighting. The Japanese had already occupied the high ground of Eagle Mountain, and it was difficult to fight them from their high ground.

Moreover, the Japanese were very accurate in their shooting skills. They often hid in inconspicuous corners and sniped at their own heavy machine gun and mortar positions.

Zhang Jun originally wanted to go to the front line in person to boost morale, but the Japanese snipers really made him afraid to go up.

Miki Kiyoaki was sitting in a cave with a frown on his face.

He sent troops to carry out suicide attacks one after another. Several times, a gap had been opened and hope was within reach, but unexpectedly, several fighter jets suddenly flew in from the sky and strafed the gap, closing it again.

Miki Kiyoshige was extremely anxious, as these fighter planes were exactly the same as the fighter planes in the first division that Furukawa Kazuharu had mentioned.

Since their fighter jets have already arrived here to join the battle, the ground forces of the first division may arrive soon.

If he still can't break through, his fate will be the same as Kazuharu Furukawa's.

"Order! Form another assault team and attack the Central Army's encirclement from three directions. I don't believe we can't break out!" Miki Kiyoaki said in a deep voice.

"Ha!" the generals under his command bowed.

……

"General! Our charge has been repelled again, with heavy casualties!" a regimental commander reported sadly.

"Damn it!! Why are these devils so hard to defeat! If they keep going like this, they will really break through!!"

"Let the troops withdraw and replace them with another regiment!"

"I don't believe it. I'll wear them out until they die!"

Chen Hu ordered impatiently.

This was the sixth charge that was repelled, but he also understood that the Japanese were just holding on.

In this case, he adopted a rotation strategy, allowing the troops to take turns to consume the Japanese.

No matter how tough the Japanese are, there will come a time when they can no longer hold on.

"Chief of Staff! Have you found out which unit of the air force that came to help is from?!" Chen Hu continued to ask.

"Reporting to the Commander, according to Commander Song's reply, this is from the First Division of the Eighth Route Army, the same division that liberated Taiyuan!" the chief of staff reported.

"Oh? The Eighth Route Army really has an air force. This is incredible."

"Think of a way to contact them and have their air force strafe the enemy positions!"

"Damn it! These Eighth Route Army soldiers only fired a few shots at the edge of the encirclement when they saw the Japanese were about to break through!"

After hearing the news, Chen Hu said with dissatisfaction.

He had no idea what the Eighth Route Army was up to, but they had the ability to help the Central Army defeat the Japanese, but they didn't do it.

This is very annoying.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese suicide squad just destroyed one of our artillery positions. We suffered heavy losses. All ten mountain cannons were destroyed!" At this time, a subordinate suddenly came to report.

"What?! What are the artillerymen doing? They actually let the Japanese attack them!" Chen Hu was heartbroken and angry.

Ten mountain cannons are not a small number. Without the suppression of these mountain cannons, it will be more difficult to defeat the Japanese.

"Chief of Staff, send a message to Commander Song! Ask Commander Song to contact the Eighth Route Army and ask their planes to help!" Chen Hu turned around and ordered.

He really had no other choice. He wanted to wear the Japanese out, but the Japanese only targeted his weak points.

If this continues, let alone destroying the Japanese, his casualties will surely be even more severe, so he should ask the Eighth Route Army for help.

Zhang Jun had the same idea. His situation was not much better than Chen Hu's.

In previous battles, the Japanese often used a regiment to chase down a division or even an army of the Central Army.

The current ratio of the two sides' military strength is 3:1. It seems that the Central Army has the advantage, but in fact it is at a disadvantage.

The art of war also says that if there are ten of them, you should surround them. They only had three times the number of troops, but they were trying to surround 40,000 elite Japanese soldiers, which was already difficult to defeat.

They had miscalculated before. They thought the Japs were a defeated army, a routed force, and must have little combat effectiveness. They must be in a hurry to retreat and would not be very powerful.

But now it seems that they underestimated the enemy.
