Chapter 696: Such a good opportunity, our 358th Regiment cannot miss it, we must show our strength
Lin Zhenhua put down the phone and a look of relief appeared on his face. Before implementing the risky plan, he was not sure whether the plan would succeed.
Fortunately, the effect is very good. The losses of the troops are much smaller than yesterday. The most important thing is that after marching day and night, four battalions of troops have been moved to the vicinity of Pingding Gold Mine. There should be no major problems in launching an attack tonight.
"Old Li, the first wave of the Japanese attack has ended. We estimate that the second attack will come soon. Take advantage of this time and immediately order the special forces regiment to act as soon as possible. We must arrive at the Pingding Gold Mine before dark and launch a general offensive against the Pingding Gold Mine!"
"Captain Chu, you can't just stand there and watch the show. You have to get out. If what I say is correct, after the third round of attack by the Japanese, the Japanese paratroopers will land. Your mission is to eliminate them and never let the Japanese's center-blowing tactical conspiracy succeed!"
"The New 1st and 2nd Regiments will also launch a full-scale counterattack tonight to support the attack on the Pingding Gold Mine. The Zhaojiayu base has also begun to relocate the factory according to the order to ensure the safety of the arsenal and guarantee the supply of materials and ammunition to the front line!"
Lin Zhenhua arranged the operation for tonight, and commanders at all levels who received the order immediately began to act. Li Yunlong also left the command center as soon as possible and rushed to the Pingding gold mine front.
The development of the battle situation was exactly as Lin Zhenhua had expected. The Japanese launched a second and third round of retaliatory attacks. After dropping more than 200 bombs, the transport plane formation following closely behind began to airdrop soldiers, and the Japanese's second airborne operation officially began.
Lin Zhenhua, who had been waiting for an opportunity, did not give up the great opportunity in front of him. He picked up the intercom in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Comrades, the Japanese have been fooled. Immediately push out our anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and attack the Japanese paratroopers!"
"The air defense forces should be ready for air defense. If the Japanese fighter planes dare to come, you should immediately fire all your anti-aircraft rockets to let the Japanese see our thunderbolt counterattack methods and tell them that we are not easy to mess with."
After receiving Lin Zhenhua's order, the soldiers acted quickly. Machine guns were set up one after another. Even the armored vehicles were not idle. They set up the vehicle-mounted machine guns and fired crazily at the Japanese paratroopers.
"Baga Yalu! We can't continue to parachute over Taiyuan City. Immediately parachute to the suburbs of Taiyuan City and find a suitable foothold to provide support for the large-scale counterattack."
Colonel Nagata immediately changed the airborne troops' combat orders, changing the mission objective from attacking Taiyuan City to attacking the enemy's transportation lines to reduce the offensive pressure on the front-line troops.
It must be said that this order from Colonel Nagata was very timely, and avoiding the enemy's edge was the right approach. The Sato Squadron that carried out this airborne mission quickly changed the airdrop destination and successfully arrived at the suburbs of Taiyuan after paying the casualties of a small team.
In order to ensure the safety of the paratroopers, Colonel Nagata specially dispatched two squadrons of Zero fighters to provide them with air fire support to ensure that they could retreat to a safe area.
Chu Yunfei originally wanted to mobilize the forces of two regiments to launch a fierce attack, but after seeing the Japanese fighter planes in the sky, he had to give up the idea.
"Damn it, the Japanese are really cunning. They have completely made it impossible for us to implement our previous plan. Send a telegram to the college student immediately and tell him that the encirclement and annihilation operation cannot be carried out for the time being. I have sent a reconnaissance company to follow them to ensure that we will not lose the trace of the Japanese!"
"Captain Chu, we can't just stand here and watch. We must think of a solution. The 358th Regiment can't just be spectators. If we can't complete the tasks assigned by the college students, then we won't be able to share the fruits of victory. This will be extremely detrimental to the development of the 358th Regiment and will also cause a huge blow to the morale of the brothers."
"Every day we watch Li Yunlong and his men eat meat, while we can't even have a sip of soup. This is too scary if we don't compare. We can't compare with Li Yunlong in terms of food, nor in terms of combat record. It's okay for one or two days, but it's easy to cause morale to waver over time!"
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong put down the binoculars in his hand and said earnestly: "Captain Chu, old sir, you have high hopes for us, otherwise you wouldn't have sent us so many reinforcements. Soon the last batch of reinforcements will reach our total strength, and we will exceed 20,000."
"If we can't achieve good results in the future war, we will have no way to explain to our old commander. I think no matter how much it costs, we must kill the Japanese paratroopers and leave no one alive. We must show our strength to our friendly forces!"
