Chapter 535 Huge casualties
534 Kenji Doihara frowned a little when he heard the words of Shiro Onoshiro, but he did not refute. After all, the nature of the tasks now is different. What they have to do now is to grab the money back quickly.
If they are not snatched back, they will definitely be punished. On the contrary, the people in the base camp will not care about the casualties now, but as the commander of the division, he must not care about it!
"Da da da da!"
"Dadada!" Sun Hao and the others were still shooting on the position, and the Japanese troops were constantly compressing. In front of Sun Hao and the others' positions, there were many Japanese corpses in the Japanese had accumulated into a bunker.
The Japanese who attacked were hiding behind the corpses and shooting at Sun Hao and the others.
"Blow me hard and kill them. Anyway, he is good enough!" Sun Hao shouted loudly. Now the soldiers can hardly hold on.
This battle lasted for more than 4 hours, and there was no time to eat and drink water in the middle. When I went to get ammunition, I found some time to fill myself with a few mouthfuls of water, and then continued to enter the position to fight!
"Kill!" The soldiers also shouted loudly. Although they were tired, as Sun Hao said, it was enough. Every soldier who was still alive here basically killed one or two Japanese soldiers. He had good marksmanship and might kill more!
"Bang!"
"Bang!" Sun Hao's subordinates were still looking for opportunities to shoot heavy machine gunners and light machine gunners and cannon throwers. They had to kill them first.
Otherwise, they would be under great pressure. The Japanese's cannon throwers would shoot shells into the trenches. Now the Japanese have no cannon throwers, so Sun Hao and others can shoot at the Japanese!
"Bastard!" The brigade commanders behind were very angry. They attacked for 4 hours in a row and invested so many troops to attack, but they still failed to take this position.
Moreover, the casualties were still huge. The troops that were put into the past were more than 1,000 casualties in each wing, and more than one-third of the casualties were killed. Many officers and technical troops were killed. How could they not be anxious in this situation?
"No, we must find a way to continue fighting like this. There will probably be tens of thousands of casualties here!" A brigade commander said in a very angry voice.
"Stop? Blast with cannons?" a brigade commander asked back.
"That's not possible. Once we stop, our previous efforts will be wasted a lot. Now they are very tired. The troops we attacked can still continue to change troops, but as long as we stop, they can rest on the Eighth Route Army opposite!" Another brigade commander also spoke.
"Just just now, the 14th Division's troops and the joint forces of other divisions have launched an attack on the Eighth Route New Second Regiment. Their casualties are not that big. Only our side has huge casualties, and the losses are all important people!" The brigade commander who spoke at the beginning said.
"Can the Air Force come over and bomb those positions and the troops that cover us rush forward first?" a brigade commander suggested.
"You can contact the Air Force, but I guess they are bombing those roads now. Now their mission is to destroy the roads leading to other bases, otherwise, they will be moved away when it gets dark.
Moreover, they don’t have much time to bomb now. It’s almost 3 o’clock. Look at the mountains over there, there is already fog. I guess there may be heavy fog again tonight!" Another brigade commander said worriedly.
"Baga, if there is heavy fog, we will be in trouble at night. I heard that last night, the troops chasing Sun Hao had huge casualties in the mountains. The troops of the 14th Division had more than 3,000 casualties, and I don't know how they died!" The brigade commanders thought of this and were very worried. Last night, there were troops chasing Sun Hao, but unfortunately they didn't catch up.
"What should we do? If there is no breakthrough tonight, our troops will have to retreat. It is definitely unsafe here.
If Sun Hao comes back, it may pose a huge threat to our troops. We need to ask the command center to allow them to agree to our troops retreat back!" A brigade commander suggested.
"Damn it, if we cannot take this position within 2 hours, then our troops must retreat back. Otherwise, we will not know how we die at that time. The heavy fog will be very unfavorable for our large troops to fight.
And according to what we know, there are actually cannons on the Eighth Route Army. Now they dare not fire the cannons because they know that we have planes in the sky. Once their cannons are revealed, our planes can blow them up.
But at night, our artillery was difficult to find them, but they could know our location. No, we needed to send a telegram to the command center to let them agree to us 2 hours later.
No, in an hour, if we don’t take this position, we will retreat!" One of the brigade commanders said very firmly.
He is from the Fifth Division, and he is very clear about Sun Hao's ability. If Sun Hao and the others attack at night, they will suffer huge losses!
"Yoxi, I think we'd better send a telegram to our division commander. If we can't conquer this afternoon, our troops need to retreat more than 30 kilometers to the back to be safe. This place is not safe!" The other brigade commanders nodded when they heard this.
Knowing that they were on a foggy day, they were at a disadvantage. Once Sun Hao came to the camp, they would be in trouble.
On this side of the position, Sun Hao and the others let go of their hands to kill. They had already fought to the point of fighting, so they could only fight to the death. Now the entire regiment's troops are already on the way, and there are still troops from the 4th Battalion left. They are walking back and probably they are about to come back.
And here, there are only about 2,000 people left, and the others are either sacrificed or sent to the hospital behind.
"Teacher Commander, Lao Wang sent a telegram. Their troops suffered huge casualties, but the results achieved were also huge. They did not lose the face of our Eighth Route Army. The positions were full of Japanese corpses.
