Chapter 578 The dream is broken
Five minutes passed, and the corps leader had not heard the counterattack troops attacking the National Salvation Army.
Seeing the time pass by, he couldn't sit still anymore and couldn't help but pace back and forth in the command center.
"Sir..." A communication soldier suddenly rushed in from outside, nervous and anxious.
The captain of the corps thought there was news about the counterattack troops, and before he could speak, he asked in a hurry: "Is the counterattack troops starting to act?"
The communications soldier was confused when asked and shook his head quickly: "There is no news from the counterattack troops, it's a problem in the west of the city!"
"The national rescue army attacking the west of the city has entered the county town. Their strength is far more than one company. Please send troops to reinforce immediately and drive them out!"
The captain of the regiment frowned and asked, "Baga! Didn't I send 100 people to reinforce the west of the city? Haven't they killed it yet!"
The communications soldiers reported with pain helplessness: "They killed them, but they had too few troops and were no match for the National Salvation Army!"
"Although there were only one or two hundred national rescue troops who entered the city, they had very strong combat power and well-equipped. They were equipped with eight or nine light machine guns. The reinforcements were defeated as soon as they contacted them!"
"After fighting the reinforcements, the national-saviors who entered the city immediately divided into three, two platoons rushed towards the arsenal, one platoon was on the material warehouse, and the remaining two platoons rushed towards the command center..."
"Dadada..." Before the messenger could finish his words, the familiar sound of machine gun strafing sounded outside the command center.
A few seconds later, a Cao Chief rushed in in a panic and reported while gasping: "Sir, someone attacked the command center, with at least two platoons of troops and five light machine guns. We only have a dozen people and a light machine gun, and we can't stand it anymore. You must transfer immediately!"
In order to gather more troops to counterattack the National Salvation Army, the guards of the command were also drawn by the corps captain, resulting in such a large command that only a dozen essential guards were dispersed, and they suddenly faced the elite troops of the National Salvation Army of two platoons, and of course they were not opponents.
The huge gap between the two troops is there, and it is no different from seeking death if you resist hard.
Of course, the captain of the regiment would not make such a stupid decision, and immediately ordered: "Everyone will move to the east of the city!"
"As long as we successfully join the counterattack troops outside the city and wipe out the national rescue army operating in the east of the city, it is not worth mentioning that more than 200 enemies entering the city from the west of the city. At worst, we can kill them back when the time comes!"
Hearing this decision, the guard captain was most happy and rushed to the brigade captain immediately to order: "Why are you still standing there? Protect the chief and go to the east of the city immediately!"
The corps leader was not pretentious and ordered while transferring: "Let me find a way to contact the remaining garrisons in the south and north of the city, immediately give up the city defense fortifications, marched quickly to the east of the city to meet with me, and concentrate all the remaining troops in the city to the east of the city!"
The team leader's decision was very timely, but it could not change the overall situation. He allowed him to live half an hour longer than others.
When they hurried to the east of the city, the attack of the National Salvation Army continued without any intention of stopping.
The shells kept hitting the team. As the fire splashed, several soldiers were blown over and fell to the ground and there was no movement.
The National Salvation Army's offensive firepower was also very strong. The bullets from outside the city were like a waste of money. A dense firepower net was woven over the heads of the blocking troops, which was closely attached to everyone's heads.
If you accidentally lift your head, your brain will burst and blood will fly...
Faced with this situation, the captain of the regiment was desperate and helpless, and could only place his hope on the lurking troops outside the city without any movement.
Regardless of the guard captain's obstruction, he forcibly climbed to the top of the city, hoping to find the lurking troops from a high position.
"Boom..." A shell exploded on the city head ten meters away from him. In order to protect the captain of the troop, the two guards had to use their bodies to block the commander and the explosion shell.
The explosion ended, and two soldiers fell to the ground one by one and one by one.
The guard captain saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
After seeing the captain of the corps frowning and holding the telescope without any gains, he decisively reminded: "Sir, this place is too dangerous, you must leave immediately!"
After saying that, regardless of whether the captain agreed or not, he commanded his two subordinates to fight him and began to retreat without saying a word.
Just after running out more than ten meters away, a shell hit the position they had just stayed and exploded, scaring everyone out of cold sweat.
Before the captain of the regiment had time to be glad, the captain of the Shouyang garrison ran over with a heavy expression: "Sir, if the troops lurking outside the city do not take action, the troops we assembled here will be wiped out!"
I couldn't contact the phone or the radio station. I just watched it on the city wall for a long time but couldn't find their traces. It seemed like I was missing, and there was no news...
Faced with the questioning from his subordinates, the corps leader could not think of any way to break the situation. The only thing he could do was to continue waiting.
Of course, the National Salvation Army will definitely not let him do what he wants.
The attack from outside the city has never stopped, and the artillery fire has become more and more fierce. The Japanese and puppet troops who can breathe in the east of the city are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The puppet army, which accounted for the majority of the team, began to make trouble. Seeing that the reinforcements were in nowhere and there was no trace, it seemed that they had already determined that they would definitely lose, and began to use various means to mobilize foreign workers to save their lives.
If there was a little injury on his body, he would fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. The more ruthless puppet troops stabbed themselves. More puppet troops hid behind the bunker without showing their heads, holding their rifles and shooting blindly outside the city...
Such a blocking cannot stop the attacking forces of the National Salvation Army.
As a result, the distance between the two sides became smaller and smaller under the gaze of the regiment captain, and the pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops became greater and greater and greater losses.
"You can also take the initiative. You can hold on as long as you can. Maybe the lurking troops are ready to attack!" The corps captain looked at the command of the guard captain beside him.
The duty of the guard is to protect the captain of the troop, but if the front line of defense is broken by the National Salvation Army, no matter how powerful the remaining guard forces are, they will not be able to complete the mission.
He can still distinguish between the more important ones.
Pointing at the two guards beside the corps captain, ordering: "You two stay with the protection commander, and the others follow me to block the national rescue army head-on!"
The addition of more than a dozen Japanese devils has stabilized the precarious defense line much more.
The corps captain was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a string of guns suddenly rang behind him.
The guards on both sides of the left and right quickly blocked the corps captain and threw the corps leader to the ground.
The captain survived and the bullet flew over to his scalp.
The two guards were not so lucky. The bullets had two blood holes in each of them, and they collapsed on the ground with a look of despair.
The captain's nerves tensed up again, and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the gunfire.
It was already dawn, and the captain of the regiment took a look and saw the situation in the alley: at least fifty national rescue troops came to him along the street, and the few national rescue troops in front were holding light machine guns, striking forward and firing at the same time. The speed was fast, and they almost killed their bullets.
"Baga, they must have pounced on an empty national-savior army at the command center!" The corps leader judged with a calm face.
If you can have an infantry squad in your hand, the corps leader will definitely lead everyone to kill. The brave ones will win when they meet on a narrow road, and use the bayonet that they are best at killing all the national rescue troops entering the city.
But for the team leader at this moment, this idea can only be a dream.
Reducing the troops that were saving the National Salvation Army in front, the only two subordinates around him were killed in the raid just now. Now no one soldier or soldier can be sent out, and even self-protection cannot be done, let alone hard work.
At this time, there is only one way to relieve him of danger: the counterattack troops lurking outside the city immediately launch an attack, disrupting the national rescue army that attacked outside the city, so that the troops that were fighting and blocking ahead have the opportunity to divide some of their troops to support them, and then fight out of Shouyang together to turn defeat into victory.
But no matter how anxious he was, the troops lurking outside the city did not appear.
"Dadadada..." A machine gunner found the corps leader lying on the ground. He pulled the trigger at him without hesitation, and shot all the bullets in the bullet bay in one breath.
The corps captain lost guard protection and was targeted by more than a dozen bullets at the same time. He had no choice but to hide. He was suddenly hit by four blood holes on his body and was killed on the spot...
The corps captain was beaten to death, and the national rescue army was on the back and in front of him. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the east of the city were completely desperate.
In particular, the puppet army completely lost the courage to continue fighting...
On the raid battlefield two kilometers east of Shouyang County, the sound of gunfire had completely stopped.
The cavalry pursuing the Japanese returned to the battlefield one after another. Each cavalry carried several rifles or carried a crooked handle, which were all captured by them just now from the Japanese.
There is one advantage of raiding the Japanese army with cavalry. If the cavalry slashes over with one knife, the Japanese will be seriously injured even if they don’t die, and they will have no chance to destroy their weapons at all.
Moreover, cavalry combat is a battle of cold weapons, and the Japanese army consumed very little ammunition, and almost all the ammunition they carried with them can be left behind.
Therefore, every time a cavalry goes to the battlefield, they can get a lot of spoils later.
Tao Yongsheng brought a cavalry platoon and finally returned to the battlefield. In addition to the saber, he also had a commanding knife hanging around his waist.
When I saw Zhou Cheng coming straight over, I was very happy to report: "Captain, the Japanese commander was killed by us... I am still a Zhongzuo, this is his command knife!"
"Fight well!" Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with the performance of the cavalry troops in the battle just now.
"I have seen the battle process. Except for those who were killed by shells, almost all the Japanese left on the battlefield were killed by you. After the infantry went to the battlefield, they didn't even drink soup, and only cleaned the battlefield and captured prisoners. Battalion Commander He just came over and complained to me, saying that you fought too fast and the infantry almost didn't keep up!"
Tao Yongsheng didn't think that the regiment commander criticized him again. On the battlefield, if the cavalry did not run fast without the infantry running, the word "cavalry" would be in vain.
After hearing the leader's words, he held his head proudly.
