Chapter 307
"…Zi…Ayi, the position has been captured?"
"Reply to the seat. With the unremitting efforts of all our colleagues, the engineer regiment wiped out countless enemies and completely took the position. The Japanese invaders were already like a dog that was lost in their family, and our soldiers..."
At this moment, Ayi was so excited that he reported to Liao Mingyu with a roar. After expressing his inspiring emotions, his finger finally released the button to the machine.
"So... OK! Where did you come from so much nonsense?" Liao Mingyu shouted loudly from the machine.
Ayi was startled and the walkie-talkie in his hand almost fell to the ground. Now he didn't know what to do next.
Damn, you kid can't say a few words?
On the other hand, Liao Mingyu was speechless because the radio could only speak unilaterally at the same time. He listened to this guy's one-minute "speech"
Shaking his head, he calmed down a little, and said again: "I did a good job, so I can give you a face. I can lose less useless nonsense next time."
"Yes...yes, I understand!" Ayi quickly replied.
"Okay, let me talk about the next arrangement. You can leave a small number of troops on the position. If the next wave of Japanese troops attack again, the engineering regiment will only be defeated but not win!"
"Ah? I'm a good man, are you sure you want to do this?"
"What, obey the order, remember, wait for a wave of Japanese offensive positions to give them, but it cannot be too fake. At least you have to fight in one game and pretend that you can't beat them and are forced to retreat. Do you hear it clearly??"
"Yes, I get it."
Ayi was very puzzled. What kind of order is this? Why should he let them take back the position to Japan? And pretend to lose. Isn’t this difficult?
Although he was extremely puzzled, he did not dare to ask more questions, but just conveyed the order word for word.
This position was originally built temporarily, but now it has been bombarded with artillery fire from both sides. Not to mention pretending to be defeated, I am afraid that the next wave of Japanese troops will launch a large-scale attack and they may not be able to defend even if they fight head-on.
There was no way, and we still had to do what we should do. At this time, the soldiers of the Engineers began to repair the positions.
If you have specialized in art, they may not be as good as the three main groups for the time being, but they can be several streets ahead of the latter in terms of building positions.
You should know that the two main positions of the 233 Highland and the left-wing jungle were built by them before the war, so the speed and quality were not hyped. Even if the Japanese came here, they might not have been repaired so well in such a few days.
At the same time, the Engineering Corps also arranged a large number of detonators and TNTs in front of the position, connected to the wires to make remote-controlled bombs, and there are also many S-type mines, which are enough for the Japanese to drink a pot of it.
...
After the 165th Regiment retreated, the captain of Shigehiko ran to Tanaka Shinichi with timidity, waiting for the upcoming anger.
But Tanaka didn't get angry this time, and it was completely reasonable for the 165th Regiment to be defeated. After all, it was very good that a new recruit team could do this.
Now he has to re-examine the other party's strength. Although this guy has a bad temper, his military literacy is still of a certain level.
Judging from the firepower and combat effectiveness of the Chinese army opposite, if you just rush over and attack, it would probably be the best situation that you will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and hurt yourself, but you can't think of any way to deal with it for a while.
Tanaka stared at the combat map for a long time and said nothing. At this moment, he was thinking hard about the next strategic plan.
The two main positions of the Chinese are as solid as a rock and cannot be defeated in a short while. The only way out now seems to be the open area far away from the headquarters.
"Yishi, you have been working in that open area for two days. Have you noticed any problems?" Tanaka Shinchi asked with a frown.
"Report to the division commander, after my observation, the defenders arranged by the Chinese were obviously a second-rate unit. From the battle, we can see that their combat effectiveness was almost the same as that of the 165th Regiment. Even under our full shelling, the enemy collapsed in an instant."
"So, the other party is just a recruit? If it were my 56th Regiment, I would have taken down the position long ago, and maybe it would have attacked the 233 Highland from behind."
Jiangkou, the captain of the 56th Regiment, who likes to brag and make a big splash, said with disdain. Although his words also made other officers present very disgusted, the combat effectiveness of the 165th Regiment is indeed too bad.
Judging from the strength of the enemy on the front line, if they were fighting against the 165th Regiment, their position would not have been captured by Xia Yan for the second time.
"Don't make a noise! Shigehiko, continue talking." Tanaka scolded unhappily.
"When the enemy attacked back later, although their equipment was much stronger than the previous wave, their combat efficiency was still very low. The reason why they could regain their position was completely dependent on their equipment and the 165th League itself."
When he talked about this, Xia Yan was also a little blushed. Who made his troops so unscrupulous?
Shinichi Tanaka narrowed his eyes and pondered without saying a word. His cold eyes gradually fell on the open area on the map. No one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, the 18th Division only tentatively bombarded several times, but each time it was attacked by three artillery battalions unwilling to be outdone.
Strangely, they did not launch a large-scale attack, and the battlefield seemed to have entered a confrontation stage, which made Liao Mingyu unable to understand the other party's intentions for the time being.
...
At the same time, Tengchong, which is more than 100 kilometers away, has begun a thrilling offensive and defensive battle.
The battle situation became increasingly severe, and both sides invested a lot of troops, especially the Yunnan Expeditionary Force. Under the command of Wei Lihuang, the two armies launched an attack from three directions at the same time.
The US Flight Task Force in China dispatched more than 200 aircraft of various types to carry out endless bombardment of various Japanese garrison sites such as Tengchong, Gaoligong Mountain, and Laifeng Mountain.
Although the Japanese air defense forces were also trying their best to resist desperately, they lost their air supremacy and were very passive under the bombing of the US military.
The Japanese Army Air Flight Team in Myanmar dispatched aircraft to conduct several air battles, but now facing the US air force that is not inferior to their quality and quantity, the Japanese fighter jets are obviously unable to do so.
Both sides had to use their greatest strength, and the battle situation became more and more intense. Strictly speaking, the Expeditionary Force had a huge advantage in military strength and firepower, but the battle situation did not proceed as expected.
First, the 2nd Army that attacked Gaoligong Mountain had problems. The Japanese 146th Regiment used a night attack to severely damage its 6th Division, causing the morale of the entire army to plummet and block the attack.
