Chapter 815 The situation is bad
The 56th Army has been resisting the attacks of the Japanese on the front line, and in Naozhi, the Japanese also launched an attack. Just like, the Japanese took advantage of the night to get about 200 meters in front of the position and stopped rushing, but lay on the ground and shoot against the Chinese troops.
Because Chinese troops fired on it, they could see the flames clearly and knew that behind the flames were Chinese soldiers, so the Japanese lying on the ground aimed at the back of the flames just now and shot. Even if they couldn't hit it, they could still hit the Chinese soldiers if they shot too much.
"After you shoot, roll a little and move to the side!" Platoon Commander Li immediately shouted when he saw that the casualties were so great that he was there. He felt that the Japanese were using flames to lock on the people on his side.
"Bang bang bang!" The soldiers in his platoon immediately rolled around after hearing the shooting, then continued to shoot, shot a few times, squatted down, moved forward for a while, and continued to lie on the trenches and shoot.
In this way, about 20 minutes, the casualties of Platoon Commander Li's platoon immediately dropped. The soldiers of the other platoon also learned to see it. They found that this could indeed reduce casualties. However, the location of the heavy machine gun was still very large, and it was still necessary to replace people in a few minutes. There was no way to do this. Firepower must be suppressed, otherwise the Japanese would rush up. Once they were closer, the casualties here would be even greater.
The battle started from 10 pm to more than 1 pm. At this time, there were not many Japanese on the position. The Japanese might have seen that there were not many people on the position and ordered them to retreat.
"Made, what do those Japanese want to do? They don't rush, they just lie on the ground and fight!" Company Commander Wang cursed after the Japanese retreated, and then went to check on the wounded people on his side.
The seriously injured have been sent down. There are not many minor injuries and there are no need to take care of them. They are all scratched by bullets. Or they have to go to the hospital behind after the bullets pass through the arm and stop the bleeding.
"The third company commander, the third company commander, the battalion commander ordered the count of the wounded and reported it as soon as possible!" A communication soldier from the battalion headquarters ran over and said to Company Commander Wang.
"I understand, report it immediately!" Company Commander Wang heard it, responded loudly, and asked each platoon to count the casualties. The platoon leader asked the squad leader to count the casualties of each platoon. Five minutes later, the three platoon leaders on Company Commander Wang's air raid shelter.
"Come on!" Company Commander Wang saw them coming and handed them a few cigarettes. The four of them sat in the air-raid shelter and started smoking.
"I sacrificed 7 people in my platoon and seriously injured 5 people!" Platoon leader Li lit a cigarette and said.
"I have seriously injured 6 people in the platoon and 8 people are sacrificed!" said the second platoon leader.
"I have seriously injured 9 people in the row and sacrificed 4 people!" The leader of the third platoon nodded.
"Mad, just now, one-third of my troops were consumed like this?" Company Commander Wang said a little angry when he heard this.
They had the advantage just now, but they didn't expect that the casualties were still so large.
"Tamad, the Japanese are here to consume us. Look at the way they attack, they don't want to rush into our position at all. They have been consuming in our position. They are only about 200 meters away from us, not far or near, we have to aim and fight, but we can't see clearly.
They were distributed dozens of meters in front, back and forth, and they were also scattered. On our side, there was a trench, all on the same line. The Japanese lay on the ground, fixed the muzzle, and fired a few more shots. They would definitely hit our people, damn, hold their breath!" Platoon Commander Li said.
"There are at least 100 Japanese corpses in front of our position, and there must be them! But how come I feel so angry!" Company Commander Wang also sat there and cursed.
"If they fight like this in the evening, we will not be able to exert our firepower advantage at all, especially the heavy machine gunners, which have the greatest casualties! It will account for more than half of us!" said the second platoon leader.
"Company Commander, when you go to the battalion commander to report later, ask what's going on with this battle. We can't keep doing this. The Japanese will definitely come back later. If you come a few more times, our company will be reimbursed!" The third platoon leader looked at Company Commander Wang and said.
"I know, by the way, the logistics department will deliver food later, and it will probably be delivered to you soon. You can eat first. I will go to the battalion commander to report the situation. He probably needs to report to the superiors. I feel that the superiors find something wrong, and there will definitely be a solution!" After saying that, Commander Wang stepped on the cigarette, he stood up and walked out of the air-raid shelter.
Soon, the casualties of various troops were counted and reported directly to Zhang Zhen.
"More than 3,000 people have just been sacrificed and more than 4,000 people have been seriously injured. How did they command? I have only 70,000 troops in one army. I will be reimbursed in 10 days? I don't need to pay him back. The Japanese will definitely attack later!" After seeing the war damage report, Zhang Zhen started to curse.
Although he knew in his heart that the casualties might not be small tonight, he did not expect that the casualties would be so big.
"Captain, we probably killed tens of thousands of Japanese devils. Although there is no way to count them now, we will know after dawn!" The staff officer next to him looked at Zhang Zhen and said.
"No matter how many Japanese devils I killed, I want to reduce casualties. We have to persist for a month, one month, do you understand? For a month, just like that, tell me, why I persist for a month, I can't persist for 10 days!" Zhang Zhen heard it and shouted at the staff officer.
The staff officer heard it and didn't dare to speak, just stood there.
"Tamad, the Japanese can suffer casualties. There are millions of troops there. We only have more than 300,000 troops of Mad. Can we fight with them? The Japanese want to consume us to death, so they think about it, Mad!" Zhang Zhen was sitting there at this time, unbuttoned his shirt and started cursing.
He knew the purpose of the Japanese, but there was no better way. The Japanese would definitely not attack during the day, at least they would not attack these days. They would all use the night to fight. Once they came over, they would fight with you to consume. They also knew that if they really hit the position directly, they would definitely not be able to rush in. It would be better to consume it first!
On Naozhi's side, Gan Lichu, the commander of the Sixth Army, was also cursing. His troops suffered more than 6,000 casualties tonight, and the first round of attacks was only the first round. Although the following report, his Sixth Army annihilated at least 10,000 Japanese soldiers tonight, Gan Lichu didn't care how many Japanese soldiers were annihilated. He was thinking that according to such consumption, his troops could not last long, and it was impossible for them to last for a month!
"Come here, answer the commander's call. I want to talk to the commander!" Gan Lichu was silent for a while and said to the staff officer next to her.
The staff officer next to him heard this and immediately started dialing the number. After the operator answered, Gan Lichu picked up the phone and spoke directly with Wei Lihuang.
"Captain Gan, what's wrong? What's the matter with you? The Japanese attacks are very fierce?" Wei Lihuang took the phone and asked.
"The Japanese attacks were fierce, but we still repelled their attacks. We annihilated more than 10,000 enemies tonight, but our army suffered more than 6,000 casualties. I guess Commander Zhang would not be much better than me!" Gan Lichu said immediately.
"What, the casualties are so great?" Wei Lihuang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't get angry at first. He knew that Gan Lichu must have come for this matter.
"Commander, it's strange that the attack of the Japanese this time is completely different from what we fought with them before. They did not care about casualties, and they did not want to capture our position at once, but shot against us in front of the position.
You also know that our firepower is better than that of the Japanese, and we are in the trenches. Logically, our casualties are acceptable because the casualties are more than 3,000 points, but there are also many serious injuries. In this way, our combat reduction will be very powerful.
The Japanese came to consume our troops. After 200 meters in front of the position, they stopped charging, but lay on the ground and shot against us. Although we still had an advantage in shooting at night, this advantage was not obvious. And it was obvious that the Japanese wanted to consume us, regardless of casualties!" Gan Lichu said to Wei Lihuang.
"What, I'm still fighting like this?" Wei Lihuang was stunned when he heard this!
"Yes, that's how they fight! I just watched the observation position for a long time, and they took advantage of the advantage of the night to shoot at our soldiers in the trenches. Although we can kill a lot of them, we ourselves have many casualties.
I just calculated that if we were to do this, our troops would be consumed in less than 5 days, and the casualties of the Japanese were estimated to be between 50,000 and 80,000. In the next two days, the Japanese would definitely directly attack our positions, and our casualties would be even greater. And in the later days, our troops would be seriously insufficient!
80,000 casualties, plus our other months, 400,000 casualties can be exchanged for consuming our 300,000 troops. The Japanese will not suffer any losses. They have many new recruits and are all local soldiers. They will not feel distressed!" Gan Lichu said to Wei Lihuang.
"Ta Made, they did this. By the way, have the Japanese retreated now?" Wei Lihuang heard it and immediately knew that what Gan Lichu said was right. The Japanese had a reason to fight like this. They used 400,000 to fight you 300,000. Although the number of casualties was too high, they had to have an absolute advantage in strategy!
"I guess they will attack in an hour. In 3 hours, that is, before dawn, they will retreat and come tomorrow night!" Gan Lichu said.
Wei Lihuang heard this and became silent.
