The 44th Division only had three infantry regiments, and their field troops only had about 10,000 people.
There was already a regiment on the west side of the village.
If they were to take down another regiment of his, then the 44th Division would lose one out of three of their members.
If you start the battle to devour the Jinsui Army, the battle to the west of Duan Castle Village will probably start as well.
In this way, we can definitely take down the enemy's 44th division in the shortest time possible.
In fact, Han Ling's tactic was not advanced. It was just a siege point to attack the reinforcements!
However, tactics were not advanced or practical. A useful tactic was a good one.

In the afternoon, after resting for a few hours and having lunch, a regiment of soldiers began to attack the 44th Division's 1st regiment with the support of the Heavy Artillery Regiment.
The first regiment of the 44th Division had set up their base halfway up the mountain.
This was not good for the Heavy Artillery Regiment.
Moreover, they occupied a high altitude. It was very difficult for a group of clone soldiers to attack them.
However, in this kind of battle, the grenade launchers and mortars were very powerful.
The heavy machine guns in the regiment were like metal storms, firing countless bullets.
The light machine guns were also mounted on tripods and launched an attack on the 44th Division's 1st Regiment.
Hundreds of machine guns were firing at the 44th Division.
Countless bullets hit the sandbags in their trenches.
Similarly, the 44th Regiment suffered heavy casualties.
Facing countless bullets and cannonballs, they clearly felt that they could not withstand it.
At this moment, in the command center of the 44th Division!
"Regiment Commander, the casualties of our brothers are too great. Please let us retreat and rest first!”
The first battalion commander of the First Regiment was currently begging the regiment commander of the First Regiment, Wang Ming.
"Withdraw? No! You must hold on! Remember, you have to hold on for at least another hour before you can retreat. It hasn't even been an hour since the battle started, and you want to retreat? If that was the case, how were they going to fight in the future?”
Wang Ming stared at the battalion commander with wide eyes.
He knew that the Pingyuan Army's cannons were ferocious.
However, it had only been less than an hour. If they were to change people and replace the 2nd Battalion.
Then his team would be wiped out in less than two days.
"Sigh! Yes!"
The first battalion commander saw Wang Ming's determined gaze and could only leave helplessly.
Less than an hour after the battle began, their battalion had already suffered over three hundred casualties.
The elite troops of the Jinsui Army like them.
A regiment was about three thousand.
An infantry battalion had about eight hundred people.
The three infantry battalions, along with the regimental guard company and some other personnel, had a total of about three thousand people.
....
In less than an hour since the start of the battle, the battalion had suffered more than three hundred casualties. This was almost half of the casualties.
How could his first battalion commander not be anxious?
But Wang Ming had no choice.
The battle had just begun, and Lu Yinglin had given him the task of defending this place for three days and two nights.
If it was only the first day and two broken infantry battalions appeared, how could they hold on for three days and two nights?
This was also the reason why he was unwilling to withdraw them now.
...................
"Haha! This bunch of grandsons of the Jinsui Army were really good at resisting! They looked like they had suffered heavy casualties and had yet to be replaced! It seemed that the commander of the Jinsui Army was also a capable person!”
Han Ling was watching the situation with his binoculars and could not help but chuckle.
Actually, Han Ling was just spouting nonsense.
To be able to be a regiment commander among the elites of the Jinsui Army, how could he not have some skills?
"Marshal! Do you want us to go? After Shanyin County, our regiment hasn't even fought ten feet!”
Wang Chenggang asked.
"Your group? What? Why are you guys going up when we're setting the bait?
Moreover, if they really wanted to fight, this would be a tough battle. Your five regiments were all new recruits. A battle like the one in Shanyin County would be complete bullsh * t! Stay here for now. You will fight the war! It's just the beginning. What's the hurry?"
Han Ling glanced at Wang Chenggang.
Now is the time for the troops to set the bait. Your 5th regiment will charge forward.
In such a battle with the Jinsui Army, there would be many casualties.
After all, the other party was looking down from above and had the geographical advantage.
Instead of doing this, it was better to use bullets and artillery shells to exhaust them first.
They would first cripple them, then launch a feint attack to force them to send a message to Lu Yinglin, asking him to send troops over to support them.
Otherwise, even if they had eaten this group.
However, the two regiments in Shentangwan Village, together with a division headquarters and other troops, would be difficult to deal with.
Moreover, he was also looking down from above. When the time came, it would be much harder to fight.
If they could surround the reinforcements and take down one of his teams, the later battles would be much easier.
...............................
Shentangwan Village, Division 44 headquarters.
"Master, the First Regiment has sent a telegram. They are being bombarded by the Pingyuan Army. There were many casualties at the moment, but they could still hold on!”
Li Mingding handed a telegram to Lu Yinglin.
"Cannon?"
When Lu Yinglin heard Li Mingding's words, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes.
He knew where the cannon fire came from.
Because he heard everything.
These two places were not far apart, so it was not like he could not hear them.
The bombardment had been going on for more than an hour.
However, it did not stop. He felt that something was wrong. Why did it smell like a conspiracy?
"Zhuqing, have you noticed a problem? The Pingyuan Army has been firing for more than an hour. But listen to their cannon fire, it doesn't seem to have weakened at all. If their infantrymen did not attack, what else could they do? Why do I feel that something is wrong here?”
Lu Yinglin voiced out his doubts.
"That's right! Master, they really didn't seem to have any intention of stopping the bombardment!”
Li Mingding also reacted at this time.
"Logically speaking, they should have stopped bombarding the infantry a long time ago, but they haven't stopped yet. Even if their logistics supplies can be transported from Guisui to Shuozhou by rail, are they really that rich?”
Li Mingding's eyes narrowed. Then, he and Lu Yinglin looked at each other.
"Feint!"
The two of them said two words at the same time.
"Looks like they are feigning an attack! If it was a feint, it meant that they had other motives!”
As Lu Yinglin spoke, he quickly walked to the front of the map and his finger quickly drew on the map.
"Master, their current goal is definitely to destroy us. But now that we have the advantage, they will probably think of other ways to deal with us. He just didn't know what method it was!”
"Yes! I think so too, but it's very reasonable for them to just fight.
The position we are occupying now is the hardest to attack. At the same time, most of our forces are concentrated here! If they were to feign an attack on the first group, their goal would definitely be to destroy us first, but that's not right. Everyone knows to eat persimmons and pick the soft ones to pinch. If he hits us first, isn't he afraid that all his efforts will go to waste?”
