Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 258: Life or explanation, which one do you choose?

Another benefit?

Fang Shengli didn't understand what Zhou Weiguo meant.

Zhou Weiguo chuckled and looked at the sky that was about to get dark. "I'll attack at night. If he dares, he can send me aviation reinforcements."

Even if you are a powerful fighter jet or bomber, in this age of night vision goggles, you are blind and might even crash into a mountain. No one dares to take action at night.

It was late at night and Zhou Weiguo lay on an ammunition box covered with a quilt and slept until four o'clock, then sat up.

"You're awake. Wash your face." Xiao Ya came in to call him. Seeing that he was already up, she took his arm and handed him a towel.

Zhou Weiguo washed up and handed a handkerchief to Xiao Ya and asked, "Have all the troops assembled?"

"Several battalions have assembled half an hour ago, and the food has been delivered. Oh, and I'd like to bring you your food."

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and pointed outside; "No, let's eat together."

Today's meal is braised pork and cabbage and pork offal soup. The independent regiment has never reduced the food. If there is no money, the squad will go to rob. Anyway, the traitors have a lot of money, so it's free to rob.

However, such meals are not available every day, only on the eve of a battle.

To use Zhou Weiguo's original words, if I die, I'd rather die well-fed.

One meal before the battle, one meal after the battle, and then eat something lighter, otherwise thousands of people would not be able to bear eating like this every day.

Fang Shengli and several others were already in the operations room, and there was someone on duty at the phone. They were all eating in silence, and then listening to Zhou Weiguo give the combat orders.

"Don't get up, eat quickly." Zhou Weiguo came to his seat and sat down. Xiao Ya liked lean meat, so Zhou Weiguo gave all the lean meat in the lunch box to Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya had long been accustomed to it and ate the food in the lunch box in silence.

The silence on the eve of a battle is always terrifying, because no one knows who will be alive from the start to the end of the battle.

"It's half past four." Fang Shengli raised his wrist to check the time.

It's time to attack. If we wait until dawn, it will come quickly and the Japanese bombers will be here by dawn.

If the attacking force does not engage with the Japanese army, it will be bombed.

"Let the first battalion advance first and stop about 70 meters away from the Japanese army. Then the artillery will launch an attack on the predetermined target. The tanks will follow and the anti-aircraft machine guns will pay close attention. As long as there is machine gun fire, fire a burst of bullets first. It is better to waste bullets than to let them go."

Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…

The earth-shaking sound of the artillery fire woke up the 11th Regiment and another regiment commander in the central village.

After getting up, they quickly put on their clothes and went to the next room.

"what happened?"

"Sir, the enemy is launching artillery fire."

The commander of the 11th Wing came to the map and took a look. "It seems that they want to launch an attack at night to avoid our aviation reinforcements."

"More than that, I think they do this to use their infantry to defeat us, so that their air force won't have to move. If they don't come, our air force won't all come here, and if they don't come, it will be easier for them to evacuate."

"We have to hold out until daybreak. As soon as daybreak comes, air forces will rush over to help us beat them back. At the same time, we can also attract the enemy's air force to come over and destroy them in the sky."

The independent regiment launched a counterattack, and by the time Yu Huohuo found out, more than ten minutes had passed.

Regarding Zhou Weiguo's sudden attack, Yu Huohuo probably understood what he meant.

He tapped the edge of the table and said, "Dial 59, 41, and the attacking units, don't worry about the losses. After the battle, I will report and give them priority to replenishing troops and weapons and ammunition."

The biggest difficulty for local troops is the recruitment of soldiers and the replenishment of ammunition after the battle.

Now, to break this situation, it depends on their attack. I have to replenish my ammunition and weapons, and my manpower. If I don't attack with all my strength, I will kill them.

"The Fourth Squadron must be prepared for combat to avoid Japanese air force reinforcements after daybreak, and intercept them on the northern line." The chief of staff next to him reminded.

Yu Huohuo waved his hands. "This is his air force's problem. We can't interfere. After all, we don't understand that thing."

Don't interfere with things you don't understand.

The 11th Squadron was ready for battle. They received an order ten minutes ago to enter the battlefield after the order was given to intercept the enemy's Tsuki Aviation Squadron and, if possible, assist the infantry in attacking the th Regiment.

The Hawk biplane fighter has been pushed out of the hangar, the runway has been cleared, and the lights in the tower direction are flashing. This is a final check.

Ground crews conduct careful checks to avoid emergencies after takeoff.

After checking one by one, they spent the next period of time waiting for the tower signal, waiting for dawn, and waiting for the Japanese troops to take off.

After all, if you go there early, it will waste fuel, and it will be useless if you go there later.

The independent regiment launched an attack and Terauchi Juichi also received a report.

He didn't even need to look at the map to know what the other party was planning.

To be honest, if those two wings were defeated or destroyed, it would be impossible for all the air forces to come over, and his plan to use the main force of the air force to comprehensively intercept their evacuation route would come to nothing.

I used those two squadrons to attract the headquarters to mobilize the air force to bomb Wuhan. Without this reason, there would be no way they could come.

"Let the Seya Detachment and the Sakatan Division contain them and prevent them from receiving reinforcements."

With two squadrons deployed for a few days, they should be able to hold on no matter what.

I can't hold on anymore.

The captain of the 11th Regiment had blisters on the corners of his mouth in just half an hour.

According to reports from the front line, the attacking enemy was like crazy, firing bullets and artillery shells at the positions without mercy, and their artillery kept moving forward, so they had to eliminate their own machine gun positions one by one. Now, the enemy had occupied the first-line positions and were advancing towards the second position, and some troops stationed on the hillside were also attacked fiercely by them.

Just a few minutes ago, no one knew how the other side managed to pull the artillery to the top of a mountain and fire from above. Every shell that fell would take the lives of the imperial soldiers.

It's still dark before dawn. When it gets light, they will have to pick them off one by one, and it's possible that their headquarters will be within their attack range.

"I think we should break out to the north." The commander of the 11th Regiment pointed to the north.

The troops reported that only the attack from the north was weaker, which might be a way out given by the enemy.

"We are tasked with attracting them. If we evacuate, how will we explain this to our superiors?"

Explain?

The commander of the 11th Squadron took a deep breath and said, "Let me ask you a question. Which is more important, giving an explanation or staying alive?"
