Chapter 967 Request for Tactical Guidance
"More than half of your casualties in a row, and the fortifications were seriously damaged. There is no need to continue to stick to the 103 Highland!"
Wan Lianqing explained, and then ordered again in a deep voice: "The second round of Japanese attacks is about to begin, your troops will withdraw from the battle immediately! Execute the order!"
"Yes! Retreat immediately!"
Although he was reluctant to blow up the basically intact main fort and did not want to withdraw from the position in such a mess, the soldiers took obedience as their duty. After hearing Wan Lianqing's tone, there was no room for negotiation, so Wu Bin could only accept the order.
"Move quickly!"
Wan Lianqing nodded gently and instructed in a heavy tone: "Try to ensure that every brother can come back intact, especially those seriously injured brothers. We must do our best to keep them alive."
Wu Bin raised his head and raised his chest and stuck out his butt and said with a heavy emphasis: "Yes! Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!"
After the battle started, most of the medical and nursing forces in the entire regiment were concentrated in Heights 103 and Heights 110, participating in first aid on the line of fire and medical rescue in the backfield!
At present, the seriously injured have basically been transferred to the 110th Highland and the regiment headquarters field hospital for rescue, and the minor injured have also done a simple hemostatic and bandage treatment!
As for those heroic officers and soldiers who died in the country, Wu Bin has sent someone to collect their bodies in body bags and are transporting them back.
The combat regulations of the Hu Ben Army stipulate that as long as conditions allow, the bodies of martyrs who died in their country must be collected and transported back to the rear and buried in the martyrs' cemetery.
After receiving the order to retreat, Wu Bin did not drag his feet and immediately ordered the troops to start cleaning the battlefield. He packed everything he could withered, and blew it up directly!
After Wu Bin and others cleaned up the battlefield and planted a large number of mines, the second wave of attacking Japanese soldiers rushed to the foot of the 103 Highland Mountain.
Command post of the 7th Japanese Army Regiment.
"Report to your Excellency Colonel, our army has captured 103 highlands!"
After paying a heavy price to capture the 103 Highlands without defense, just counting the report of war damage, the Japanese wing staff officer Ken Sada rushed to the front of the captain of the wing, Ichima Ono, and shouted loudly after bowing heavily:
"According to preliminary statistics, so far, the number of deaths in the Imperial Imperial Army has been about 850, and 25 chariots have been lost. More than 250 Chinese troops have been killed and injured!"
The chiefs of staff of various Japanese troops belong to the General Staff system. The staff team led by the Chief of Staff is only responsible to the superior staff unit, and the military chief officer at the same level does not have the power to appoint and remove the Chief of Staff, which has led to the domineering and arbitrary behavior of the staff team.
The Japanese army did not have a chief of staff at the wing level, so the power of the "corps staff" was more or less suppressed.
"Baga! The entire 4 infantry squadrons and 2 chariot squadrons disappeared like this! But we only captured a small, insignificant high ground!"
After reading the battle damage statistics sent by the United Staff Ken Sada, Ichima Ono's face was as deep as water, but his heart was like a knife. He had known that this battle was not easy to fight and had made enough mental preparations, but the casualties ratio of 1:4 still made him feel extremely painful and uncomfortable.
As the saying goes, "It can be seen from the sight of the leopard." Through this head-on battle, Ichima Ono has truly experienced the power of the Tiger Army.
According to the current battle situation statistics, Ichima Ono can easily calculate that if he cannot find an effective breakthrough in the next tough battle, even if he fights all the entire regiment, he will not be able to break through the 486th Highland, the core position of the Chinese Tiger Army.
Before even attacking the periphery of the 486 Highland, the entire regiment would suffer a catastrophe!
"No, you must never consume such a stupid thing anymore!"
Ichima Ono was shocked. He came to the Myanmar War Zone to "make achievements" and realize his dream of a general as soon as possible, rather than "died before he succeeded", and to destroy his future, destiny, and even his life in this mountain fortress with little military value!
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Ichima Ono felt a strong desire to survive deep in his heart, and he quickly ordered the Japanese staff officer Ken Sada:
"Immediately call the front-line imperial army to build positions on the spot for defense. Don't pursue them first, and wait for the next combat order."
"Hayi!"
Ken Sada quickly paused the commander.
At this time, Ichima Ono continued: "Sada, please immediately report the situation here to the division commander and the chief of staff, and request tactical guidance!"
The Japanese officers are very proud of their face and will not easily admit defeat, admit defeat, and ask for support from their superiors.
But when the war is not going well and the situation is beyond expectations, it is no longer something that the highest commander of the troops on the scene can handle, but he dares not leave, the Japanese commander must find a higher-level person to take responsibility and make decisions, so he said the words "request for tactical guidance" very distinctively!
"Hayi! Please rest assured, the division commander and the chief of staff will definitely come up with a complete solution!"
Ken Sada once again ordered the leader to order, and he knew very well what the situation was. If he carried out a strong attack according to the previous combat plan, the entire 7th Regiment would suffer a catastrophe in at most half a day!
"Sada-kun, please!"
Ichima Ono bowed to Ken Sada very seriously, and he had all the meanings he deserved!
The Japanese troops paid the price of serious casualties and finally "conquered" the 103 Highlands, but they did not dare and had no strength to continue attacking the 110 Highlands in front.
At the same time, under the strict order of the regiment commander Yang Ruifu, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Regiment did not rashly launch a counterattack against the Japanese, but were on high alert and quietly waited for the Japanese's next military operation.
As a result, the enemy and us had a very "tactical understanding" in the middle of the battle, forming a situation where the well water does not violate the river.
Yangon War Zone Command.
The battle at the Yecheng Sea Fortress came to a temporary end, and Yang Fan quickly received a report on the damage statistics of the war.
After reading the report, Yang Fan handed the report to Stilwell, Li Zongren, Yang Chengliang and others through it, and ordered Huang Hong in a deep voice: "Immediately send a commendation telegram to the 7th Regiment, and also order it to annihilate the enemy. Don't care too much about the gains and losses of a city and a place!"
"yes!"
Huang Hong immediately took the order and left.
After reading the telegram, Stilwell happily extended his thumb to Yang Fan and praised: "This battle was very beautiful. More than 800 Japanese infantry were killed, 25 tanks were destroyed, and 8 bombers were shot down. The total number of Japanese soldiers killed nearly a thousand people!
And only 124 people were killed on our side, and the damage to the battle is really amazing!”
At this time, Li Zongren smiled and continued, "Yes, it's so exciting!
Chapter completed!
