But Shirai Matsushita had other ideas. He also wanted to use the current 122nd Division as a perfect bait to lure the enemy on the opposite side and attack them more violently.
And an important opportunity they are waiting for is the arrival of dawn, which is also the reinforcement of their two divisions, which can break through the enemy's defense line and support their troops.
Although the current situation is not very good, at least the two divisions supporting them are not progressing smoothly at the moment.
No matter which direction they were in, the two divisions of the Japanese army that came to the rescue fully appreciated the tenacious fighting style of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army.
Under the tenacious blockade of the joint forces of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army, now numbering tens of thousands, was unable to break through their defense lines and support the Japanese 122nd Division, which was currently besieged outside Langfang City.
If this continues, the demise of the 122nd Division is doomed.
But Shirai Matsushita and Sato Sakura also firmly believed that even if the speed of their peripheral troops' support was slightly slower due to the blocking of the enemy on the opposite side, they could still reach the designated combat position after dawn.
The blocking force on the opposite side is only less than one-third of their reinforcements, so there is no reason to stop them for too long.
"We are now using ourselves as bait to make the enemy on the opposite side keep biting the hook."
Shirai Matsushita looked at the situation on the map and said.
"That's true, but it's more than that. The enemy on the opposite side has bitten the hook, but whether we can pull them out of the river is another matter."
Sato Sakura¡¯s brain is now sober.
He was a little dazed under the continuous impact just now.
At this moment, with the help of Shirai Matsushita, he also recovered his ability to think rationally.
"Now I'm starting to worry about whether our troops in other directions can hold on until dawn."
As Shirai Matsuji said this, he looked at the other Japanese defensive positions on the map with some worry.
Their forces are not just concentrated near the division headquarters.
In other directions of Langfang City, they also deployed troops to surround the enemy.
Some of these troops have been surrounded by the enemy and have been completely wiped out, while others are undergoing fierce enemy attacks.
There are still troops who, although they have not been attacked by the enemy, do not dare to act rashly now.
Because they knew very well that in the darkness at this moment, there was probably an enemy ambush waiting for them to leave their defensive positions.
As long as this Japanese army leaves its defensive position, they will lose the most important barrier against the enemy on the opposite side.
In the wild night, if they want to fight the enemy on the opposite side, they will inevitably suffer failure.
This is the bloody experience summed up by other Japanese troops.
The enemies on the opposite side are also very capable of fighting. They have instruments that can observe their movements at night. They can accurately determine the location of the enemies on the opposite side in such a dark night.
Under such circumstances, the enemy can take advantage of this and carry out uninterrupted attacks on the weak links in their defense.
Therefore, an important principle has been formed within the current Japanese army.
That is, no matter what the circumstances, do not leave your defensive position without authorization after nightfall to support the positions of other troops in nearby areas that are under attack.
The enemy on the opposite side will not watch them go to support at this time. They will definitely use their advantage in vision to ambush them.
This kind of thing has happened not once or twice.
Even if the Japanese troops are just a bunch of pigs, they are now smarter.
"Can they hold on until dawn?"
Shirai Matsushita asked.
In contrast, these troops are actually smaller and more dispersed.
Although their division headquarters suffered the most ferocious attack, their strength is still sufficient. At least in a short period of time, they will not be directly eliminated by the enemy's armored forces.
¡°Just when I was worried about these troops, bursts of roaring sounds came from a distance.
He was very familiar with that sound. It was the loud sound that could only be made when several enemy artillery regiments bombarded together.
That was in the dark night, the devils who had beaten the war drums were now using the drumsticks in their hands to hit the Japanese positions in other directions.
"It's in the direction of the 34th Regiment. Their position suffered a fierce attack from the enemy."
Sato Sakura, who was on the side, listened to the direction the voice came from and said directly.
¡°It¡¯s less than twenty kilometers away from us, but we can¡¯t support them now.
With such fierce artillery fire, they don¡¯t have such complete defenses. I don¡¯t think they can withstand tonight. "
Shirai Matsushita said this, with deep worry in his eyes.
Sato Sakura, who was standing next to her, said: "Yes, the attack they suffered was too violent. I don't think they can sustain it anymore."
With that said, he immediately said to Shirai Matsushita next to him: "We still have a mobile force here, do you want to support them?"
"No, if we go to support them, then I can guarantee that the troops we support will be directly wiped out by the enemy's troops before they reach our position."
Shirai Matsushita said immediately.
It is now very clear-headed, that is, the best state for each unit is to fight independently, and do not think about supporting each other, because as long as they support each other, they will be exposed in the wild.
Leaving the defensive position and facing the enemies hidden in the darkness, it will only be more difficult for them to survive.
Sato Sakura rubbed her head in distress, and then said: "Now there are two divisions, haven't they come to support yet? The enemy is only a few thousand people, why can they stop them for so long?"
When he said this, he hammered the table angrily.
Now Sakura Sato is a little irritable.
"If these two divisions that promised their support could arrive on the battlefield earlier, then their 122nd Division would not be in such a mess now.
But nothing could be possible. At this moment, the two divisions were blocked by thousands of people.
"They said we have to wait until dawn at least.
In the darkness, their troops did not disperse. "
The staff officer beside him said.
This sentence was followed by another dull sound, the sound of a fist hitting the table. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
