Chapter 410 Tempering the Troops (15)
Chapter 410 Tempting the Army
Chen Hao and Huo Yuanjia started to help treat the wounded from 11 noon, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch. They were busy until around 2:30 pm, and after the persuasion of Lu Liwei and others, they returned to the command center to have a meal and rest.
As soon as he arrived at the command center, the guards quickly brought several bowls of noodles. Chen Hao was so hungry that he grabbed a bowl of big mouthfuls and started eating. Half of it, Huang Congli, who was observing the movements of the Japanese army on the hill next to the command center, walked in quickly.
"Congli, how about it, what's going on in the Japanese army?" Chen Hao asked a little vaguely while eating the noodles.
Huang Congli gave a military salute meticulously and reported loudly: "Principal, after the Japanese army's attack was frustrated in the morning, he stayed honestly and had no abnormal movements."
Chen Hao nodded and continued to eat noodles. Lu Liwei asked Huang Congli: "Congli, the Japanese army's follow-up troops should have arrived, right? To be honest, the current little force of the Japanese army is not enough for us to get between our teeth, haha."
"Yes," Huang Congli replied surongly: "The scouts reported that the Japanese follow-up troops were driving towards Shentou Village continuously. At around 4 o'clock today, there will be three infantry corps and two cavalry corpses near Shentou Village one after another."
"Will all the five wings arrive today?" Chen Hao showed a vigilant look, put down the bowl, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Principal." Huang Congli replied affirmatively.
Thinking of more than 700 wounded wounded people with different injuries, Chen Hao couldn't help but frown.
However, Lu Liwei, a war madman, was overjoyed and grinned and said, "Hehe, after waiting for so long, some people finally got beaten."
Of course, Lu Liwei did not forget to observe Chen Hao's reaction. Chapter please see Chen Hao frowning, Lu Liwei hurriedly curled his smile and asked carefully: "Principal, aren't we going to vigorously consume the Japanese army and temper the troops? Why do you seem a little worried when you hear the arrival of the Japanese army?"
Chen Hao glared at Lu Liwei and said with a deep pain: "Lu Dabang, haven't you seen that the battle in the mountains on the left in the morning caused such a large casualty?
Oh, let’s not mention the soldiers who died. The more than 200 seriously injured people alone make our medical department overwhelmed and exhausted. The next battle will definitely be even more tragic. Do you think, can we bear it if we fight a few more battles?"
"This..." Lu Liwei couldn't help but be stunned. He was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "Principal, if we continue to consume this, our army will really not be able to bear it and will be unable to support it."
"Yes," Zheng Tiehao said lewdly: "Our army's original plan was to mobilize several times the Japanese army's forces in local areas based on familiar terrain, and eliminate the Japanese army in mobile warfare. In this way, casualties will be greatly reduced.
However, the blocking war here has now become a war of attrition. The Japanese army can afford to lose some troops, and they are happy to see that they can defeat our army. We have poor family and are the most elite troops here, but they cannot afford to lose."
"Tie Hao analyzed it very well. We really can't afford to lose such a war of attrition." Chen Hao stood up and said as he walked.
"Principal, what should I do?" Lu Liwei said with a bitter face: "Can I not shoot a single shot and see the Japanese army coming, and I will be a deserter and run away with the troops?"
Xia Xingshuo opposed: "Lu Dabang, this is not called escape, it is called strategic transfer."
Huang Congli said worriedly: "But the Japanese army is coming and its spirit is very strong. If our army flees without fighting, on the one hand the morale will be greatly affected. On the other hand, if it is transferred like this, the Japanese cavalry corps are not vegetarians and will inevitably chase after them. At that time, it will be dangerous."
"This may not be necessary," Chen Hao said with a smile: "Congli, don't forget that we have brought a lot of mines this time. When we retreat, we can lay a huge amount of mines in Shentou Village. Hehe, if the Japanese cavalry corps dare to pursue, they will suffer."
Zheng Tiehao, Huang Congli and others actually wanted to fight hard with the Japanese army for a few battles. However, having said that, it was obvious that there was no chance this time.
Everyone showed a look of indifference. Lu Liwei asked unwillingly. "Principal, do you really need to 'strategic transfer' immediately?"
"No, I don't want to arrive here in the middle of the night. Before I could get enough of the fight, I evacuated cowardly." Chen Hao's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
It also needs to illuminate everyone's eyes.
Chen Hao sat back in his seat, looked at Xia Xingshuo, and continued, "We have not used many of the arrangements that Xingshuo has made here before, so we can't waste them. It will be a waste of money for the Japanese army."
"Yes," Xia Xingshuo said loudly: "The 60mm mortar we transported here before, and the Maxim heavy machine gun had not yet shown its power, otherwise it would not be the Japanese artillery's turn to show its power. Also, the mortars and grenade launchers that the Guards had just transported here have just been arranged. While the Japanese army was not prepared, they would definitely reduce the threat of Japanese artillery fire."
Chen Hao continued happily: "In addition, because the battle in the morning became hasty, it was a hand-to-hand battle that was easy to lose both sides, so the casualties would be so heavy. If the Japanese army attacked normally, the guards could exert the power of the m1903 continuous rifle and give the Japanese army a large amount of killing at the lowest cost."
Lu Liwei smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, you have been talking for a long time and have built such a big circle. In the end, you still have to fight."
"What, are you unhappy?" Chen Hao deliberately glared and asked loudly.
"No, no, no," Lu Liwei waved his hand quickly and said, "This is exactly what the students want. It's too late for the students to be happy, so why are you unhappy? Besides, the principal has built such a big circle to teach us to understand something, and the students have benefited a lot."
"Okay, I'm not kidding." Chen Hao took the towel handed over by the guard, wiped his mouth, and said loudly: "How to fight the next battle? You should discuss it carefully. I will continue to treat the wounded with Master Huo."
After saying that, Chen Hao and Huo Yuanjia stood up and rushed to the medical treatment site. Zheng Tiehao, Huang Congli and others were busy arranging troops, waiting to fight with the Japanese army.
Starting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the vanguards of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Division, the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division, the 53rd Infantry Regiment of the 17th Division, and the vanguards of the 2 cavalry regiments began to come to the vicinity of Shentou Village one after another.
Under the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Regiment of the Cavalry of the Ninth Division, each regiment entered the designated position in a strict and orderly manner and carried out "camping and setting up camps".
