Predator Reborn

Chapter 232: Breakout Battle of Counter-Encirclement and Suppression (6)

"Click, click, click..." More than a dozen anti-air machine guns opened fire, and the intense firepower swept towards the aircraft. The Japanese aircraft had to raise its flight altitude again. The threat to the aircraft was temporarily removed, and then, mortars fired from behind.

It also rang. Liu Hua quickly raised his telescope, and a Japanese heavy machine gun was torn to pieces with the explosion of the shell.

Perhaps the Japanese army lost too many heavy weapons after continuous attacks. After seeing that their heavy machine gun position was targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery, they immediately stopped shooting and moved their position regardless of the nearly 100 Japanese troops in front of the position.

Therefore, without heavy machine guns and aircraft cover, the Japanese troops retreated in embarrassment after dropping more than a dozen corpses again. Seeing nearly a hundred corpses dropped by the Japanese in front of the position, Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh: Having air superiority is

Okay! When will his troops have air support? Thinking of this, Liu Hua couldn't help but laugh at himself. If he hadn't been rich, he might not even have artillery support, let alone air support...

"Consultant Wang..." Liu Hua came back to his senses.

"arrive!"

"Immediately count the losses of each unit, and call the two regiment commanders." Liu Hua ordered. "Yes, commander."

Not long after, Staff Officer Wang led the two regiment leaders to the bomb-proof cave where the headquarters was located.

"Commander, are you looking for us?" the two asked almost simultaneously as they got into the shell-proof hole.

"Well! Sit down first, Staff Officer Wang, and read out the statistics you just collected. I want to know the specific ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves." Liu Hua nodded to the two of them and looked at Staff Officer Wang.

"Commander, we just made statistics. The first regiment lost one squad, the third regiment lost 71 people, of which the first company lost 51 people, losing half of its combat effectiveness. The artillery battalion lost 21 soldiers, 3 mortars were damaged, and the guard battalion lost 21 soldiers.

Casualties." said Staff Officer Wang.

"You heard it! We lost more than a hundred people by wiping out half a squadron of Japanese troops. If the fight continues like this, all the troops will be lost before nightfall." Liu Hua looked up at the two regiment commanders and said.

.

"Captain Wang, please tell me first!" Liu Hua asked when he saw the two people were silent.

"Commander, the main reason why there are so many casualties is the Japanese planes! Although there are guards firing continuously in the air, the Japanese planes can make up for their accuracy even at high altitudes with their advantage in the number of bombs. So I think it is necessary to reduce the number of bombs.

To reduce the casualties of the troops, the Japanese planes must be dealt with." Wang Benqing said.

"Yes, Commander. I also agree with Commander Wang. The casualties in the regiment and the squad just now were caused by a Japanese bomb. It would be great if the Japanese planes could not find their targets and were blinded."

Shen Qinghua also agreed.

"Yes, you are blind..." Captain Wang said.

"Open your eyes and be blind...so that the Japanese can't find their target..." Liu Hua kept repeating this sentence, and at the same time, he searched for the same situation in history in his memory.

Suddenly, Liu Hua's eyes lit up, and he thought of the smoke and dust in the industrial cities of later generations. Isn't it a good hiding place?

"Commander Wang, immediately organize a battalion of soldiers to go to the woods on both sides of the position and cut down as many pine branches as possible. Then put a bunch of them every 20 meters on our position and light them as much as possible.

To create black smoke. In order to keep this black smoke going, you have to organize a company of soldiers to do these things. Go now, the next group of Japanese planes will be coming soon." Liu Hua quickly issued the order.

Order.

Soon, thick black smoke ignited on the Eighth Route Army position, one...two... Within a few minutes, the entire position was enveloped in thick black smoke, and there were signs of spreading to the surrounding positions.

, Liu Hua couldn't help but feel excited when he saw it.

"Commander Wang, ask the soldiers to put dots around the position. It's best to cover the little devil's position as well. This way we will be safer."

"Yes, Commander..." At this time, Wang Benqing also discovered the benefits of black smoke from his previous doubts, and answered excitedly.

At this time, Sakai was sitting leisurely in the command post, squinting his eyes. Because the battle just now made him regain his confidence. He believed that if the battle continued like it just did, then it wouldn't be long before the troops on the position were defeated.

The Eighth Route Army will be completely consumed by itself.

"Commander of the brigade, there is a situation. There is a situation on the Eighth Route Army position opposite." The chief of staff ran to him and said.

"Na Ni." As he spoke, he had already picked up the Vision and walked out of the headquarters.

Without looking into the distance, Sakai could clearly see the thick smoke billowing from the position opposite, and the thick black smoke was slowly drifting towards his position.

"Baga! Liu Hua is cunning and cunning. With this thick smoke, our air force will have no target, which means we will lose air support. Chief of Staff, our opponent is very difficult to deal with!" Sakai lamented.

"Hi! Your Excellency, brigade commander, should we change the battle plan and change the attack to defense?" the chief of staff nodded and suggested.

"No, Chief of Staff. Liu Hua's best time to break out is tonight, so we must use up their strength as much as possible before dark, so that they will be unable to break out at night. Otherwise, once dark, the entire battlefield will be

The world is dominated by the Eighth Route Army." Sakai still said with confidence.

"Hi…"

In this way, the Japanese army did not wait for the arrival of the second round of planes and launched another attack. Without the cover of planes, the chief of staff reduced the number of attacking troops. A small group of Japanese troops, under the cover of several heavy machine guns, shouted to Ao Ao.

The position launched a charge.

"Captain Wang, it seems that the Japs are trying to consume our strength!" Liu Hua noticed the changes in the Japanese army at a glance.

"Commander Wang, ask the troops to save ammunition as much as possible and move forward one company after another. The Japanese will probably engage in wheel battles. Also, order the artillery to attack the Japanese heavy machine guns and consume their heavy weapons. This will also be convenient.

We break out at night." Liu Hua ordered. At the same time, a company of troops quickly came to the position with weapons.

"Hit..." Following the order from the leading company commander, all light and heavy firepower fired at the same time... In an instant, half of a small group of Japanese soldiers were knocked down, and the remaining soldiers quickly lay on the ground and started shooting at the soldiers on the position. At the same time,

, several heavy machine guns of the Japanese also targeted the Eighth Route Army on the position. The intensive firepower immediately caused dust to fly in the position. Several soldiers who were exposed were hit instantly and fell in a pool of blood.

"Hidden disadvantages..." the voice of the company commander came from the position... However, the Japanese heavy machine guns did not last long. The mortars that had been aimed for a long time opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom... Several artillery shells landed on an enemy machine gun position. The intensive artillery fire immediately covered a heavy machine gun and several machine gunners next to it. When the smoke cleared, only the remains of the machine gun were left on the position.

The remaining heavy machine gun positions began to move their positions one after another, as if they had seen the god of plague.

As for the dozens of Japanese soldiers lying in front of the position, they were just happy to be covered by heavy machine guns. But in the blink of an eye, the heavy machine guns were gone, leaving only the team's three light machine guns... just like old people who were about to die.

, spitting bullets intermittently. He could not suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

"Baga, retreat." The squad leader knew that if he continued to fight, his entire army would be annihilated. He could only reluctantly give the order to retreat and retreat with the dozens of remaining troops.

The two planes that hurriedly came to assist in the battle couldn't help but feel depressed when they saw the thick black smoke in the sky. When they heard the intensive firepower on the ground and the constant explosions, the two pilots began to become anxious. In the end, they really had no choice but to deal with it.

He dropped the bomb at a rough location, waved his wings, and left the battlefield amid a burst of yelling and curses from the Japanese troops on the ground.

Because although most of the bombs he dropped fell on the Eighth Route Army's positions, a few of them landed on the Japanese positions without any deviation, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese troops.

"The second company retreats and reorganizes, the third company moves forward..." Wang Benqing's voice came from the position.

…

"Come up... Hurry, the little devil is coming up." Wang Benqing shouted loudly! Liu Hua, who had rested for nearly a whole day, opened his tired eyes.

"Commissioner Wang! Why is it the turn of the First Company again? This is the first time the Japs have attacked." Liu Hua asked when he saw Staff Officer Wang copying a message next to him.

"Commander, this is already the 19th charge of the Japs. They haven't even stopped for lunch..." Staff Wang said as if he was complaining when he saw the commander waking up.

"It seems that the little devil is also trying his best! By the way, Staff Officer Wang, are the casualties of the troops heavy?" Liu Hua asked.

"Commander, don't worry! Commander Wang just said it. It's not big. Since the sky above the position was shrouded in black smoke, the Japanese planes have never dropped bombs. Commander, you are really amazing. By the way.

"Commander, there is another good news this afternoon." Staff Wang said excitedly.

"What's the good news?" Hearing this, Liu Hua asked in relief.

"The Cavalry is back."

"Cavalry regiment?" Liu Hua has not come back to his senses yet. You know, the continuous battles have made Liu Hua almost unable to relax. If not for Staff Wang's reminder just now, he almost forgot that he still had a cavalry regiment.

"Where are Commander Wang and the others now? Correspondent, map!" Liu Hua reacted and asked quickly.

"In the afternoon, Commander Wang called: They are resting in the mountains to the east of Jinzhong County! It is in the mountains and forests on the left side of our position. I don't know how far away it is from here," Staff Officer Wang replied.

"Okay, with the help of the cavalry regiment, tonight's breakout will be much easier... There is less than an hour until dark, and the Japs are probably about to withdraw their troops... We are waiting. Staff Wang, your

The task is to contact Commander Wang as soon as possible. If you know their specific location and troop strength, report it to me immediately." Liu Hua ordered.
