Chapter 234: Pig Rush Tactics
After thinking for a moment, many Japanese officers shook their heads.
There was helplessness and confusion on their faces; facing such a powerful weapon, they were truly helpless.
Faced with this overwhelming bombardment, they were completely helpless and there was no way to avoid it.
Hundreds of rockets covered tens of thousands of square meters of land in an instant. No matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun the speed of the rockets.
They knew that the chances of survival under such an attack were slim.
Once hit by concentrated rocket fire, there is only one result, that is, to wait for death silently, or to lie in a crater and perhaps have a chance of survival.
But this was just a lucky idea. Under such fierce bombing, the crater was not necessarily a safe place.
Hasegawa immediately ordered his adjutant: "Pass my order, the 113th Regiment will withdraw from the battlefield immediately."
He knew that continuing the attack under these circumstances would only result in greater losses.
"Hai."
The Japanese adjutant responded and quickly went down to make the notification.
He moved quickly, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Hasegawa turned to look at the officers around him and said, "Gentlemen, you have seen the scene just now. The enemy actually has rocket launchers. Our next offensive operation will be very difficult.
Do you have any good way to deal with the enemy's rocket attack? "
After hearing the division commander's words, the officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had no better solution. Faced with this situation, they could only go ahead and use up all the enemy's rockets.
Hasegawa looked at everyone and pondered for a moment, then said, "Gentlemen, I am going to organize a death squad, use pig-rush tactics, and rush into the enemy's position at all costs.
By engaging them in a melee, the Eighth Route Army will be afraid to launch rocket attacks against us, unless they want to kill their own people as well.
There was determination in his eyes, and he was willing to sacrifice some soldiers to achieve his goal.
After hearing what Hasegawa said, everyone nodded.
They knew in their hearts that this death squad had a zero chance of survival. Even if they failed to break into the enemy's frontline, they would be able to consume the Eighth Route Army's rockets.
This is a helpless choice, but under the current circumstances, there seems to be no better way.
After the smoke cleared from the battlefield, there were densely packed large bomb craters everywhere and the bodies of the Japanese were scattered all over the ground. The scene was extremely tragic, like hell on earth.
The crater is like a meteorite crater on the surface of the moon, which is shocking.
After receiving the order to retreat, the Japanese soldiers of the 113th Regiment ran madly towards the rear, not wanting to stay on the battlefield for a second.

Daling Village forward command post.
Gundam used a telescope to see the attacking Japanese soldiers being bombarded by rockets, and said happily:
"Great, this scene is so damn cool to watch, so satisfying."
An excited smile appeared on his face and he was very satisfied with the power of the rocket.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Commander, rockets are indeed powerful weapons.
This round of attack killed at least eight or nine hundred Japanese soldiers. I guess their mentality has collapsed."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and he felt gloating over the Japs' misfortune.
Gundam nodded silently.
Although rockets are fun to use, they also consume a lot of energy. One round of salvo from an artillery regiment consumes nearly 360 rockets.
This is a one-time consumption. Fortunately, the Heian Arsenal has sufficient production capacity, otherwise Gundam would not dare to use rockets in this way.
He was well aware that the consumption of weapons required sufficient logistical support.
Gaoda said to the communicator beside him: "Communicator, contact the 386th Brigade and the Ping An Brigade immediately and ask where they are."
After receiving the order, the communicator immediately began to contact the two brigades.
Gundam knew clearly that once the two brigades of troops took action, they would definitely be discovered by the Japanese. After all, it was difficult to conceal the actions of eight or nine thousand people.
Only by achieving the combat objective as quickly as possible can the 102nd Division be surrounded.
His heart was full of anticipation, hoping that the two brigades could complete their mission successfully.

102st Division Provisional Headquarters.
Hasegawa decided to use a suicide squad of 2000 new recruits to launch a surprise charge against the Eighth Route Army's frontline positions in order to consume the Eighth Route Army's rockets.
There was a cold look in his eyes, and he regarded these soldiers as expendable.
In his eyes, these soldiers were just a group of cannon fodder. He would not feel sad no matter how many of them died. As long as he could achieve his goal, no one would blame him.
Anyway, there are plenty of new recruits in the base camp, so we can just use up one batch and send in another.
He only had the desire to win and didn't care about the lives of his soldiers.
The commander of the 113th Regiment walked into the command center with blood all over his face and went straight to Hasegawa.
His face was filled with fatigue and pain; the battle just now had left him seriously injured.
"Your Excellency, the 113th Regiment suffered heavy losses from the enemy's fierce bombing, with more than 1200 casualties in the entire regiment."
There was a hint of frustration in his voice, saddened by the loss of his troops.
"idiot!"
"Damn the Eighth Route Army."
Hasegawa cursed, feeling extremely angry.
"Okay, I get it. You can go down and recover."
There was a hint of indifference in Hasegawa's voice, and he didn't care about the injury of the captain of the 113th Regiment.
"Hai."
The commander of the 113th Regiment turned and left the command center.
Hasegawa did not blame the commander of the 113th Regiment. He knew that such a result was not caused by the commander. No matter which team it was, there was no way to escape under such fierce bombing.
His heart was filled with helplessness and he was shocked by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
The main force of the Eighth Route Army before him was definitely the toughest enemy he had ever encountered on the Chinese battlefield, bar none.
There was vigilance in his eyes, knowing that the upcoming battle would be more difficult.
Hasegawa said to the chief of staff beside him: "Chief of Staff, pass on my order.
The suicide squad will attack immediately and launch a charge on the enemy's position.
I want to see how many rockets the Eighth Route Army has."
"Hai."
The Japanese chief of staff responded and quickly went down to convey the order.
after an hour.
More than 2000 Japanese soldiers in the Japanese camp stood neatly 1 kilometer away from the front line. All of them had a piece of white cloth tied on their heads.
These were the Japanese suicide squad preparing to launch a sudden charge. There was only endless fanaticism and madness in the eyes of all the Japanese soldiers present, as if this was a very glorious thing.
They are brainwashed by militaristic ideas and have no fear of death.
This group of Japanese recruits are different from the old soldiers. Their beliefs are more fervent. Hasegawa seized on this point and formed the new recruits into a suicide squad. If he had replaced them with old soldiers, this effect would never have been achieved.
