Chapter 578: It is better to use 1000 bullets to kill one devil than to let the soldiers fight with
Aoki Junyi threw aside the military discipline that the Japanese usually paid the most attention to. The orders he gave to his subordinates were very clear, which was to break through the enemy's interception at all costs and break out in the direction of Heiyunling.
"Tada, notify General Fujiwara immediately and ask him to open a retreat route for us immediately. It will be too late if we delay any later!" Junichi Aoki urged anxiously.
Ichiro Tada did not dare to delay and quickly contacted Ichiro Fujiwara. After learning that the 18th Flying Division would be able to join the battle in two minutes, he was completely relieved.
After learning that the air force was about to arrive, Junichi Aoki was not completely relieved. He looked towards the foot of the mountain. The enemy and our side were engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat. People fell every second, but Junichi Aoki didn't care. He had only one thought in his mind, that is, to move faster and disrupt the enemy's deployment before they could react. Only then would they have a chance to break out of the encirclement.
At this time, 39 Japanese fighter planes broke into the battlefield at low altitude and launched a fierce attack on the armored forces commanded by Zhang Dabiao. In order to get the Aoki Division to withdraw from the Komatsu Ridge position as soon as possible, Fujiwara Ichiro was very crazy and directly ordered six bombers to adopt a man-machine combination tactic and crash into the ground.
When Zhang Dabiao saw the Japanese fighter planes attacking from the sky, he immediately mobilized all the air defense forces he could mobilize and frantically strafed the incoming Japanese bombers.
"Brothers, fight hard and intercept the Japanese bombers!"
Lin Zhenhua had been watching the battlefield ahead. When he saw the crazy actions of the Japanese bombers, his face suddenly changed. He immediately climbed onto a self-propelled high-speed sports car and shouted angrily, "The Japanese fighter planes are coming. Sound the air defense alarm immediately. All air defense forces take their positions and aim at the incoming Japanese fighter planes. Shoot them hard!"
"Sanwazi, immediately lead your anti-aircraft battalion and charge forward to help the armored forces hold the position. Even if the entire anti-aircraft battalion is wiped out, we must not let the Japanese successfully break through!"
Li Yunlong was not idle either. While mobilizing troops, he quickly formed a second death squad. Taking the submachine gun handed over by the communicator Xiao Ma, Li Yunlong drank the mung bean soup in the bowl, and led the soldiers who had drunk the mung bean soup to launch a counterattack against the attacking devils.
The entire Xiaosongling was in complete chaos, with the enemy and us at loggerheads. Lin Zhenhua issued an order for each unit to fight on its own, requiring each unit to stop the Japanese from breaking through at all costs.
The Air Force Battalion arrived five minutes late and immediately engaged in a battle with the Japanese Air Force without any instructions. The fight between the enemy and us was extremely brutal, and there was even hand-to-hand combat.
However, compared with the well-prepared Aoki Division, Li Yunlong and his men were careless this time, and their defensive positions were full of loopholes. Many positions were broken through by the Japanese. They had to mobilize the reserve troops on the battlefield and engaged in a fierce battle for the positions with the Japanese. This high-intensity breakout and counter-breakout battle lasted for a full hour before it ended.
During the battle, two battalions of Japanese soldiers successfully broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Heiyunling. The remaining 1000-plus Japanese soldiers were blocked back in the Xiaosongling position, and the two sides were once again caught in a standoff.
Li Yunlong wiped the sweat from his head and said with a frustrated look on his face: "Damn it, that damn Jun'ichi Aoki is so damn insidious. I never thought that he would use the frontal breakout method to catch us off guard. It seems that we really underestimated Jun'ichi Aoki before. If the Air Force Battalion had not arrived in time at the critical moment, there would be more Japs breaking out from the front. This time the Japs really taught us a lesson. We'll talk about it later. The Japs' tactics are rigid and inflexible. I have to give them a good kick!"
Kong Jie dipped some cold water in the towel in his hand, and wiped his sweaty face with the cool towel. After feeling a little less hot, he replied solemnly, "Old Li, Junichi Aoki should have studied your combat style. This time he used reverse thinking and boldly broke through from the front, which was beyond our expectations. From this point, we can see that there are experts among the Japanese devils."
"When the Japanese broke through, I found that they didn't care about military appearance and discipline at all. They just rushed forward in a swarm. This has never happened before. From this, it seems that Jun'ichi Aoki is a pragmatist. As long as he can win, any rules are nothing in front of him. This time they have encountered a Japanese commander who dares to break the rules. In the battle with him, we must be very careful, otherwise we will suffer in the future!"
No one really paid much attention to what Kong Jie said. But after listening to Kong Jie's analysis, they immediately realized how difficult Jun'ichi Aoki was.
Lin Zhenhua put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said with a grim expression: "Everyone, the situation on the battlefield may be much worse than we imagined. The Japanese have two battalions of troops breaking through the siege. Their destination should be Heiyunling. Shenquan, who is defending Heiyunling, has only three battalions of troops in total. Facing the two-sided attack of the Japanese, it will be very difficult to hold on."
"We need to give orders to the air force battalion immediately and have them go to support Shen Quan in Heiyunling. We must ensure that Heiyunling is not lost at all costs, and we cannot let the two Japanese troops merge together, otherwise this battle will be half-baked. The Japanese's center-blooming tactics really have a great chance of success."
"Fighting on two fronts will be extremely disadvantageous to us, especially the Black Cloud Ridge where Shen Quan is stationed. After the Japanese cut off the supply of supplies, relying on the ammunition reserves in Shen Quan's hands, they can only hold out for two days at most. We must prepare for the worst in advance."
"I think we should let Zhang Dabiao lead the armored forces to advance towards Heiyunling. We should use the firepower and mobility of the armored forces to eliminate the two battalions that broke out of Junichi Aoki's encirclement and resolve the crisis in Heiyunling first!"
Ding Wei agreed with a look of approval, "The college student's suggestion is very good. No matter what Junichi Aoki plans, we can't let his conspiracy succeed! We have been worried about the Japanese hiding in the position before. We have mobilized them several times but failed to mobilize them out. Now the Japanese have taken the initiative to jump out. It can be said that this is exactly what we want."
"We can gather all our armored forces and launch an armored assault against Junichi Aoki. Lao Li will be in charge of the command. As for the Japanese and puppet troops on Xiaosongling, Lao Kong and I will be in charge."
"In order to reduce casualties, I will continue to use the college students' tactics and use artillery shells to completely destroy the devil's will to resist. Today is June 11th, and the base has begun to busy with summer harvest. We must end the war as soon as possible and must not affect this year's summer harvest and summer planting."
"The next battle will not require the college students and Lao Zhao. I mean to let the two return to the base to take charge of the overall situation. In terms of logistics, the three of us really cannot compare with Lao Zhao and the college students, not to mention summer harvest and summer sowing, which directly involves our food rations. It is not too much to pay attention to it!"
Ding Wei's proposal was recognized by everyone present. Before leaving, Zhao Gang reminded him worriedly: "Old Li, you can't act rashly in war. If the problem can be solved with artillery shells, don't let the soldiers go up to fight, let alone fight hand-to-hand with the devils. College students have given us so many advanced weapons, but they are not for us to use as firewood. You can't fight the same way as before. You must adapt to the new way of war."
"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, you two are no exception. You must not risk your lives like before. Instead, you must be good at using the weapons in your hands. If we don't have enough ammunition, we can continue to produce it. With the current production capacity of our arsenal, it is enough to meet our current ammunition consumption! College students said something very well, that is, people are much more valuable than weapons and ammunition. Don't fight hand-to-hand with the devils unless it is absolutely necessary."
Lin Zhenhua was not idle either. He just connected with Shen Quan and briefly talked about the current situation. Before the call ended, he earnestly warned: "Shen Quan, I estimate that Aoki Jun'ichi should arrive in the Black Cloud Ridge area in three or four hours. It is estimated that it will be almost dark by then. There is no one to help you guard your rear now. You need to urgently mobilize a battalion of troops to guard your rear."
"Don't worry about the ammunition. I have just issued a death order to the air force battalion, requiring them to deliver a batch of ammunition to you within an hour. In addition, we have opened a temporary landing field in Heiyunling, which can take off and land our transport planes normally. I only have one request for you, to defend Heiyunling at all costs. You must use all the ammunition you can and use fierce firepower to resist the enemy's attack. Don't be stupid and try to fight the enemy hand-to-hand."
Shen Quan assured him seriously, "College student, don't worry. I, Shen Quan, am not stupid. I would rather use thousands of bullets to kill a Japanese soldier than send soldiers to fight with the Japanese soldiers with bayonets. As long as there is enough ammunition, I, Shen Quan, have the confidence to defend Heiyunling. Not to mention that the air support sent by the college students will arrive soon. Even if the Japanese soldiers are desperate, I, Shen Quan, will not be afraid!"
After making the arrangements, Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua hurriedly left the foot of the small pine forest mountain, rushed back to the Zhaojiayu base by car, and began to deploy the summer harvest and planting work!
