Bai Rihui led his soldiers in pursuit for a full two kilometers. When he realized that if he continued the pursuit, it might cause danger to his side and rear, he gave the order to stop the pursuit.
Their damage to the Japanese army was actually mainly concentrated in the pursuit of the Japanese soldiers in the front. When they wanted to pursue the Japanese soldiers later, they were actually unable to catch up with the Japanese army.
After all, they also wasted a lot of time when killing the Japanese soldiers who were caught up. When those Japanese soldiers who escaped were facing death, the potential in their bodies was stimulated, and they directly burst out the fastest running speed in their lives.
It has become very difficult for the soldiers of the Fourth Army to catch up with the Japanese soldiers.
When they returned to their position, they roughly counted and found that they had lost about a hundred troops in the battle just now.
Some were injured, while others were killed.
After they contacted the rear, they transported the wounded and the bodies of the dead soldiers directly from the underground passage behind their position to the city behind them.
That long and narrow underground passage has become their lifeline.
A large amount of ammunition, weapons, and personnel provided in the rear will enter their position from the passage below.
Although Bai Rihui and the others were very tired after this round of charge, they were in a good mood.
After all, in such a battle, they used the fire support provided by their rear to defeat the enemy on the opposite side with only very small casualties.
If it were not for the firepower provided by the rear, although they were confident of defeating this enemy attack, it would definitely take them longer than it does now.
Xia Yang stood on top of the city, observing the battlefield in the distance.
He showed a very satisfied smile when he saw Bai Rihui leading his soldiers and rushing out of his position to charge the Japanese soldiers who had just been shelled.
If he were the commander at the front, Xia Yang would do the same thing.
It should be said that this is a tactic often used by the four armies during defensive operations.
It is when the enemy's troops suffered relatively heavy losses and their morale was somewhat low, they suddenly rushed out of the position and attacked the Japanese troops.
At the same time, the troops behind them used light and heavy machine guns and other firepower to carry out overtaking shooting, suppressing the fleeing Japanese soldiers with firepower, and killing as many Japanese troops on the opposite side as possible.
Under this method of combat, the Japanese troops would suffer very heavy casualties, and it would also have a heavy blow to their morale.
¡°That¡¯s right, the troops in front of us fought very well.¡±
Xia Yang said as he took down the telescope in his hand.
¡°The commanders of our Fourth Army at the front are basically veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and their combat experience is very rich.
This time, they also have ground and air fire support, which is even more powerful for them.
The little devils on the opposite side thought that with so many more tanks and armored vehicles, they would pose a threat to us.
"As a result, those tanks and armored vehicles didn't even play any role, and were pricked by our artillery. "
As he spoke, he looked at the tanks and armored vehicles burning on the plain, emitting black smoke.
When the Japanese troops retreated, they left their tanks and armored vehicles behind them.
Some of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that did not have time to retreat were directly destroyed by the soldiers of the Fourth Army who caught up.
¡°These soldiers are not the kind of national army that fought against the Japanese army before. They lack effective anti-tank means and can only use their swords to chop tanks.
The Fourth Army has many anti-tank means. Whether it is close-range attack operations or medium and long-range bombings using their equipped anti-tank guns and rocket launchers, they can all be effective against Japanese tanks and other armored forces. of killing.
These Japanese tanks were originally very fragile. Their tonnage was insufficient and their armor was very thin.
Although after the battle with the Fourth Army, the tanks subsequently produced by the Japanese army appropriately increased their tonnage and the armor thickness of the tanks.
But because their steel production is very limited, they cannot do this.??Tanks and armored vehicles, pretending to have too much armor.
This resulted in the Japanese troops almost becoming moving targets when facing the anti-tank guns and rocket launchers of the Fourth Army.
This is why there is such a big gap between the Japanese army's infantry-tank coordinated operations and the Fourth Army's infantry-tank coordinated operations.
Because their tanks and armored vehicles cannot be the vanguard to open the way, nor can they provide good cover for the soldiers behind them.
Basically, tanks and armored vehicles have been destroyed by various anti-tank weapons of the Fourth Army before they can reach the enemy's position in front.
"How is the fighting situation in other directions?"
Xia Yang asked.
¡°Both are good. Our aerial fire support and ground bombing caused considerable losses to the Japanese army.
Now, most of their troops have chosen to retreat temporarily. Even the Japanese command headquarters now have to retreat further away from us.
Because they suddenly discovered that our artillery in the city could completely cover the location of their headquarters. "
Speaking of this, Qiu Guoping couldn't help laughing.
Their large-caliber howitzers originally had a very long range, but now that they use extended-range shells, the bombardment range they can cover becomes even larger.
Some of the Japanese headquarters were not blown away by their air power, but were directly blown away by their heavy artillery fire, so much so that they did not dare to stay in this area for one more minute.
"It seems that our combat results on the first day are pretty good. However, the little devils on the opposite side are not willing to give in. Their attack will continue at night."
Xia Yang said.
He was almost certain that when the Japanese launched such an attack at dusk, they must have planned to maintain the intensity of the attack at night.
However, now that the Japanese army has been defeated so tragically, they may have to wait until midnight to organize the next wave of attacks.
Thinking of this, Xia Yang said: "Order the troops in front to rest immediately after returning, but stay vigilant. The Japanese army on the opposite side is likely to launch a night attack on our position in the latter half of the night." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel. com
