Chapter 324: These little devils are moving
"Quick! Get the tanks in the rear up! Counterattack!"
The Japanese division commander ordered the tanks in the rear to rush up and attack the Eighth Route Army.
"Sato! Report our attack to headquarters! Quick!"
After giving the order, the Japanese division commander looked up at the dense flames on the top of the mountain and felt a chill in his heart.
I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army was so well prepared this time and its firepower was extremely strong.
It seems that this battle did not happen by chance, but was the result of careful planning and planning over a long period of time.
"Ugh……"
Thinking of this, the Japanese division commander couldn't help but sigh deeply, his heart filled with helplessness and worry.
At this moment, the only thing he could hope for was that the headquarters would send reinforcements to rescue him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this land will become the burial place of all of them!
At the same time, in the distant North China Front Army Headquarters, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Suddenly, one of his men rushed into Commander Heng Tianjun's office in a hurry, even a little out of breath because he ran so fast.
"Commander! This is bad! The 36th and 41st Divisions have come under fierce attack from the Eighth Route Army and are now trapped in a tight encirclement set by the enemy. There's no way to break out!"
Upon hearing the news, Commander Heng Tianjun slammed his hand on the table and cursed angrily, "Baka... Actually, I should have expected them to do this!
These damned Eighth Route Army soldiers have a very clear purpose: to cut off our fingers one by one like cutting vegetables, gradually weakening our strength..."
However, although the Japanese commander seemed to have long understood the strategic intentions of the Eighth Route Army, it is regrettable that he failed to make effective response decisions in time before that.
After all, the possibility of saving two divisions at the same time and getting out unscathed is almost negligible.
"Commander...what should we do next?"
The subordinate's mood was a little calmer at this time, and there was a hint of sadness on his face.
The Japanese commander did not answer him immediately, but walked to the map and carefully analyzed the current battle situation.
What is certain is that the next plan of this Eighth Route Army is to cut off the reinforcements from the direction of Jinzhou.
There is no doubt that this is their next target.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death any longer..." The Japanese commander took a deep breath and continued, "Order the 21st and 32nd Divisions to immediately rush to the central reinforcements' position to provide support!"
"But... General, aren't we going to support Heng City?"
The subordinate looked at Heng Tianjun with a confused look and asked.
During this short period of time, the Japanese commander did not speak, but just lowered his head and looked at the map in front of him.
He was struggling inside at this moment, not knowing how to make a decision.
"not going……"
After a long time, he finally squeezed out these three words from his mouth with difficulty.
After hearing the order, the subordinate saluted the other party with a serious expression, a standard and solemn military salute, then turned around without hesitation and left the place quickly with firm and powerful steps.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the Japanese eastern reinforcements who had received urgent orders from the headquarters were rushing towards Wang Lin.
They were fully armed and in high spirits, and were obviously fully prepared for battle, ready to provide strong support to Wang Lin and the troops he led.
At this moment, the large-scale movement of Japanese troops did not escape the eyes of aerial reconnaissance.
Our drone hovering in the sky was like a sharp falcon, quickly and accurately capturing the enemy's movements, and passed this important information to Wang Lin as soon as possible through advanced communication equipment.
After hearing the news, Wang Lin frowned and felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
Because if the current situation continues to develop, the 386th Brigade will have to face the fierce attack of two reorganized Japanese divisions alone.
Such tremendous pressure is not easy for any army!
However, despite the critical situation, Wang Lin was unable to spare any manpower to support the 386th Brigade.
After all, at this moment, the number of the wolf-like and ferocious Japanese devils in front of him was astonishingly large. They were like a tide that kept pouring in, making it difficult for him to cope.
Even if they fought with all their might, it would be difficult to wipe them all out in a short period of time!
To make matters worse, the new regiment that was originally planned to come to reinforce has not yet arrived at the designated location. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and is full of various unknown factors and variables.
If the cunning Japanese commander ordered the garrisons of other cities to come and besiege them again, the consequences would be unimaginable. This battle would probably turn into an unprecedented brutal and fierce battle...
"Brigade Commander! Japs! The Japs are preparing to support the central reinforcements!"
At this time, at the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, news came from the front-line reconnaissance troops, informing them that two Japanese divisions in the direction of Jinzhou were moving rapidly towards Wang Lin.
It seems that they are going to support the Japanese troops there.
"Damn it! These little devils are finally moving!"
The old brigade commander smiled calmly, lit a cigarette, and took a puff. "We absolutely cannot let those damned Japs get through! Quickly order the troops to seize the opportunity to stop them!"
"Yes!"
Following the order, the 386th Brigade immediately rushed towards the advancing Japanese division.
The two Japanese divisions immediately changed to cars, carrying a large number of soldiers and began to march quickly towards Wang Lin and his men.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Suddenly, a deafening and earth-shaking explosion suddenly sounded among the Japanese troops.
The explosion was as violent as a volcanic eruption, releasing endless energy and flames in an instant.
The blazing flames swept over with overwhelming force, like a giant beast with bared fangs and claws, ruthlessly devouring a large number of Japanese troops.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire battlefield was dyed scarlet.
The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion was as surging as a galloping horse, mercilessly hitting the body of every Japanese soldier.
Only screams could be heard one after another. Those fragile bodies were vulnerable to this terrifying force and were torn to pieces. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, it was a horrible sight.
All this happened almost in an instant. Such a sudden attack threw the Japanese troops into complete chaos.
They panicked and fled in all directions. The orderly formation collapsed in an instant. Someone shouted: "Quick! Find cover! Don't run around!"
Some people shouted at the top of their lungs: "Get down! Get down quickly! Don't show your head!"
Others shouted in horror: "Hide behind the car! Find the enemy's position quickly!" For a moment, all kinds of screams and shouts resounded through the sky, endlessly.
However, faced with this sudden attack, everyone was in chaos and could not calm down and think of countermeasures.
They ran blindly like headless flies, their hearts filled with fear and confusion, and had no idea where the deadly firepower came from.
At this moment, a Japanese officer stumbled up to the division commander and reported with horror: "Division commander! It's bad! We have been ambushed by the enemy!"
I saw the Japanese division commander standing on a high place, looking at the tragic scene of continuous artillery fire and smoke in front of him. Although his face looked a little solemn, he was not as panicked and nervous as others.
"Humph... These Chinese troops actually think they can stop our advance with this kind of tactics? This is simply wishful thinking and ridiculous!"
The Japanese division commander raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer of disdain.
Afterwards, he quickly calmed down and issued a series of orders: "Attention, all troops, maintain your formation and do not lose your composure!
Concentrate your firepower and conduct search and fire in suspicious directions! We must quickly locate the enemy's hiding place and eliminate them!"
As the division commander's orders were passed down, the increasingly chaotic Japanese army began to slowly restore order and reorganize effective resistance.
"Order the Kawasaki and Takagi Regiments to stay and fight these Chinese troops, and the other troops to continue to follow me to provide support!"
"Yes!"
The two Japanese divisions immediately withdrew some troops to engage in combat with the 386th Brigade, while the main force quickly left the area and continued to rush towards Wang Lin and his men.
"Brigade Commander! The Japs' main force has escaped!"
The scout immediately reported this urgent news to the old brigade commander.
Hearing this, the old brigade commander's expression suddenly became solemn.
"These little devils are so hard to deal with!"
He knew that he had to delay this reinforcement force at all costs to buy time for Wang Lin and his men to completely annihilate the Japanese central force.
But now, the situation is very critical.
"We can't just let them go! Order the 771st Regiment to harass them and buy more time for Wang Lin and the others!"
After the order was issued, the 771st Regiment immediately rushed towards the Japanese division.
But the enemy had the strength of two divisions after all, and one regiment could not shake their marching speed at all.
Even some of their troops were taken away by the enemy.
If this continues, Wang Lin will be affected by this side sooner or later.
Even the entire battle situation will be affected.
"Brigade Commander! The New 1st Regiment has returned!"
At this critical moment, the New 1st Regiment led by Ding Wei and three other regiments finally arrived.
"finally come!"
After hearing this news, Wang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
We can finally concentrate all our forces to launch the final attack on these Japanese devils.
"Order the New 1st Regiment, the 2nd Special Operations Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, and the Independent Regiment to begin compressing the Japanese troops from both sides! Hurry!"
Soon, the troops led by Ding Wei rushed directly into the battlefield and fought with the besieged Japanese troops.
At this time, the Japanese army was completely desperate and counterattack was no longer possible.
In desperation, a large number of Japanese troops surrendered, and the battle ended with the victory of the special operations brigade.
"It's too late to clean up the battlefield! Hurry and support the 386th Brigade!"
At this time, the remaining time was no longer enough for Wang Lin and his team to clean up the battlefield and collect guns.
The 386th Brigade had been struggling to hold off the forces of two divisions, and now they finally received reinforcements.
"General! Our central reinforcements were defeated by the Eighth Route Army!"
Inside the Japanese headquarters, the devil commander heard the news from the communicator.
The tense nerves finally broke down.
