Chapter 216 Reinforcements appear, prepare for counterattack!
After a whole day of attack, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and even the heavy artillery battalion was bombarded.
The Japs no longer have any artillery now.
Tonight's night attack was discovered by the Tiger Guards Division again, and the Japanese could only charge forward at a desperate price.
At present, the Japanese losses are much greater than those of the Tiger Guards Division.
Moreover, the intensive firepower and tenacious resistance of the Tiger Guard Division made some Japanese officers doubt whether they could really capture the opposite position.
But now the Tiger Guards Division actually retreated on their own initiative, although they only retreated to the next line of defense, ready to resist again.
But this still made many Japanese soldiers cheer, and also increased their confidence in taking over Chidong County.
After fighting for a whole day without taking the Tiger Guard Division's position, we now took the Tiger Guard Division's first line of defense in less than twenty minutes.
This immediately boosted the morale of the Japanese.
"Yoshi..."
Division Commander Arai Tianwu, who had been observing the battle results, put down his telescope and said excitedly.
The battle situation had not made any breakthrough and the losses were so heavy that the division commander, Takeshi Arai, was of course nervous.
But now the division commander Arai Tianwu can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because in the view of the division commander Arai Tianwu.
As long as we take the first line of defense of the Huben Division, we will be able to take the second and third lines of defense of the Huben Division.
This is not just the idea of the division commander, Takeshi Araiida.
This is what most of the Japanese think, even Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe thinks so.
Just as thousands of Japanese soldiers swarmed towards the second line of defense in Chidong County.
Just when the heavy artillery unit of the Tiger Guard Division ran out of ammunition.
A troop was quietly approaching the Japanese's rear, and this was the tank troop materialized by Zhou Weimin.
"Attention all units... No lights on without orders... No unauthorized firing."
"Again, all units, take note... No lights on without orders... No unauthorized firing."
"Drivers, follow the tanks in front closely and never get separated from the team."
......
Chidong County North Gate Command Center.
"Commander, the Japanese are too crazy. They don't care about casualties at all."
"The east, south, and west gates of Chidong County are almost undefendable."
"The heavy artillery units at the east, south, and west gates of Chidong County have already used up all their shells."
Xu Hu ran into the command center and reported loudly to Zhou Weimin.
At this moment, Xu Hu was already a little nervous.
In fact, it was not just Xu Hu. Liu Feng at the east gate of Chidong County, Wang Dali at the south gate, and Sun Hu at the west gate all began to get nervous.
The reason why Liu Feng, Wang Dali and Sun Hu were still able to hold on was that they were waiting for the tank troops.
"Order Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu to abandon the second line of defense and retreat to the third line of defense."
"Also tell Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu to prepare to launch a counterattack against the Japanese."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Zhou Weimin put down the telescope and said to Xu Hu.
At this moment, Zhou Weimin had already materialized the tank troops and had also established contact with them.
Zhou Weimin was ready to launch a counterattack against the Japanese.
As long as the tank troops arrive at the designated location, Zhou Weimin can issue the order for a counterattack.
But that will take another ten minutes.
"Yes!" After hearing this, Xu Hu hurried to convey the order. After conveying the order, Xu Hu came to Zhou Weimin and said.
"Commander, are the tank troops about to arrive?"
Zhou Weimin nodded after hearing this, and then said to Xu Hu: "We have contacted the tank troops, but they will need time to reach the designated location."
"By the way, where is Wu Qianli now?"
The east gate, south gate and west gate of Chidong County were commanded by Liu Feng, Wang Dali and Sun Hu.
But at the north gate of Chidong County, Wu Qianli no longer took command after Zhou Weimin arrived.
"Commander, Wu Qianli is now at the second line of defense." Xu Hu said hurriedly after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.
"Go, ask Wu Qianli to come over. He will be needed to command the guard regiment in the counterattack." Zhou Weimin said slowly after hearing Xu Hu's words.
"Yes!" Xu Hu said quickly after hearing this.
After Xu Hu left, Zhou Weimin contacted the tank troops again.
The news is that everything went well.
In fact, Zhou Weimin could have deployed the tank troops directly to the rear of the Japanese.
After all, the pitch-black night can conceal the tank troops that appear out of nowhere.
However, the system reminded Zhou Weimin that there were still some Japanese troops in the rear.
Therefore, the system suggested that Zhou Weimin deploy the tank troops in several small woods far behind the Japanese army's rear.
Zhou Weimin thought about it and decided to follow the system's advice.
After all, the system is Zhou Weimin’s biggest secret, and Zhou Weimin doesn’t want anyone to know the existence of the system.
There is no way to be exposed even if there is a slight chance of it.
"Commander!" After Xu Hu brought Wu Qianli back to the command center, he saluted Zhou Weimin.
"Master!" Wu Qianli also saluted Zhou Weimin.
"Is he injured?" Zhou Weimin said, looking at Wu Qianli's bandaged left shoulder.
"Master, it's not a big problem. It's just a penetrating wound. It will be fine after a few days of rest." Wu Qianli said after hearing this.
"We all underestimated the Japs this time. The losses this time are too great."
"After this battle is over, we will immediately return to Hutou Mountain. Our Tiger Guard Division will need to rest for a while."
"You should also study under the Chief of Staff for a while."
After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin stepped forward to look at Wu Qianli's wound and said.
Wu Qianli's wound was indeed a penetrating wound, but no bones or muscles were injured, so it was not a big problem.
Just rest for a while.
Besides, the Tiger Guards have no shortage of medicines, and most of the doctors are materialized by the system.
The medical skills are very high, and as long as the injury is not fatal, it can basically be cured.
"Yes!" Wu Qianli and Xu Hu said at the same time after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.
"Since you are injured, stay by my side. I will let Xu Hu take your place to counterattack the Japanese!" Zhou Weimin said, looking at Wu Qianli.
"Master, I'm still able to..." Wu Qianli said hurriedly after hearing this, but Zhou Weimin interrupted before Wu Qianli finished speaking: "This is an order."
After speaking to Wu Qianli, Zhou Weimin looked at Xu Hu and said, "Now you go and lead the guard regiment and guard battalion to prepare for the counterattack against the Japanese."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hu quickly said, "Yes!" and then turned and left the command center.
After Xu Hu left.
In front of Wu Qianli, Zhou Weimin contacted the tank troops, and at this moment the tank troops had arrived at the designated location.
This time is three minutes faster than the ten minutes Zhou Weimin expected.
Now the Tiger Guards Division is waiting for Zhou Weimin's order to counterattack the Japanese.
Zhou Weimin did not hesitate at all. After knowing that the tank troops had arrived at the designated location, he ordered the guard battalion to launch a counterattack signal flare.
