Chapter 895 A night of victory?
Touch over and prepare for action!" Faced with a group of armed expatriates, Wang Tieshan felt even more worried and issued an action order without hesitation.
Outside Shimen City, the Eighth Route Army, which was operating around the Japanese and puppet troops, also received orders to close the net.
The confidence of the Japanese commander was also beaten to pieces at this moment.
"Hisser Commander, the arsenal in the city was attacked by unknown armed forces, and the armed expatriates who defended the arsenal were destroyed..." The messenger hurried into the war room and reported.
"Bageyalu, we miscalculated!" the commander shouted with a sudden enlightenment.
"I just want to fight the National Salvation Army outside the city, and ignore the enemies in the city, which ended up taking advantage of the loopholes!"
"Chief of Staff, are there any troops in the city that can reinforce the arsenal and take it back from the enemy. Listen to the exchange of fire, there should be no more than one platoon of enemies who just attacked the arsenal!"
The chief of staff shook his head and said, "Only more than 60 expatriates in the headquarters are left to protect the headquarters, but the low-level officers can arm all the staff and civilian staff, and they should be able to collect more than 50 people!"
The Shimen Arsenal is very large, and the weapons and ammunition stored in it are piled up like mountains. It must not be thrown away, nor can it be put into the hands of the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army. Otherwise, if you survive, you will be sent to the military court.
Looking at the Chief of Staff, he ordered decisively: "All civilians, staff and staff of the Armed Command immediately form an infantry squad and set out to regain the arsenal!"
"Armed expatriates continue to protect the headquarters! Their combat effectiveness is too poor, and it is okay to rely on fortifications to fight defensive wars. It is no different from letting them take the initiative to attack the enemy and kill them!"
The headquarters has a small arsenal, and the Chief of Staff has formed an infantry squad in just ten minutes and headed straight to the arsenal...
"Commander, the reinforcements that are closest to us have just sent an emergency call. They were raided by the National Rescue Army's chariot troops. The troops suffered heavy losses and could not reach the outside of Shimen City on time. Please hold on for a while!" The communications staff came over to report.
"Nani?" The commander was shocked by the bad news and shouted with dissatisfaction: "Are they a bunch of stupid pigs? They can still be attacked by the chariot troops if they are killed by the stone gate. Where are their vigilances going?"
"Call them back immediately: I will distribute some of the troops to drag the National Rescue Army's chariot troops and find a way to eat them. Other troops bypass the battlefield and continue to reinforce the Shimen. The headquarters even has the guards on the city wall. Any city wall that is broken through will bring us a devastating blow, and we will definitely not be able to hold on for too long!"
After saying this, the commander slumped on the chair.
He was too tired and thought he was here to win tonight, but all the accidents came were all caused by various accidents, which made him nervous and tried his best to deal with them.
Soon, there was a dense sound of firefighting in the direction of the arsenal. The commander sat on the chair and looked forward to it, hoping that they could bring themselves good news and relieve the command's depressed morale.
"Your Excellency Commander... Something happened to the warehouse! The armed expatriates who were defending the warehouse were attacked and the entire army was destroyed..." Another messenger ran into the war room to report.
The expectant expression on the commander's face immediately turned solemn, then turned into anger. Looking at the few remaining subordinates in the headquarters, he cursed dissatisfied and said, "Bageyalu, who can tell me how many enemies are hidden in the city?"
"First, the arsenal was attacked, but now the arsenal was attacked. I don't believe that the enemy's intelligence personnel lurking in the city have such strong combat power."
"There must be an enemy who has penetrated into the stone gate!"
The messenger then reported: "The commander is wise. The enemy who attacked the warehouse was wearing imperial military uniforms and equipped with a large number of submachine guns and pistols. He has a very strong combat power. He knocked down half of the expatriates who defended the warehouse as soon as he made a move, and then began a close-range raid..."
"After thirty armed expatriates were destroyed without even holding on for a minute!"
"These enemies must be elite troops infiltrated by the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army. They were afraid that we would destroy the materials and ammunition in the city, so they captured the arsenal and warehouse while siegeing the city!"
The commander was so angry that he punched the table in front of him, as if he had made up a great decision, and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Forty people from among the armed expatriates who protected us to attack the warehouse. It is best to be able to regain it. If you can't regain it, you must find a way to kill into the warehouse and destroy the supplies inside!"
"Since the enemy wants to get the supplies inside so much, I don't let them do it. I would rather destroy it than let them seize a bullet or a grain of food!"
"Notify the troops in the reinforcements to do the same, and the enemy will not be able to find anything that the Imperial Army cannot protect!"
"Send a telegram to all reinforcements: The headquarters decided to burn together with the siege of the country-saviors! After they arrive at the battlefield, they should not be afraid of accidental injuries, and immediately concentrate all artillery fire to bombard the battlefield!"
"As long as I can kill the National Savior Army, it doesn't matter if I die!"
What the commander didn't expect was that in the face of absolute advantage, he had no chance to die.
As soon as the Chief of Staff was about to arrange the troops, a dense exchange of fire came from the commander's office.
An expatriate rushed in in a panic: "Sir, there is an enemy attacking the headquarters!"
"They have very strong firepower, and they will kill the two machine gun positions at the door if they take action."
"We are no match for the time at all, so we can only retreat to the yard to delay time. Please move away from here immediately!"
The communications officer ran in immediately, his expression much heavier than before: "Commander, call back from our nearest reinforcements!"
"The National Salvation Army not only sent chariot troops to raid them, but also sent a large number of infantry and artillery to surround them."
"The reinforcements have been reduced by one third, and they have to retreat to three high grounds and stay waiting for assistance."
"Please contact other reinforcements immediately to rescue them, otherwise they will last for up to three hours!"
"Hisser Commander, the reinforcements in the south of the city were urgently telegrams: They were besieged by at least three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and they could not reinforce the Shimen in a short time!" A telegrapher hurried in to report.
After saying that, he handed the telegram to the communications consultant and rushed back to the telecommunications room.
After the civilian staff and staff officers of the headquarters were removed, there was no extra staff in the telecommunications room. A telegrapher was in charge of a radio station, and he had to rush back to operate the vacant radio station immediately.
At this time, another radio operator ran into the war room: "Report to the commander, the reinforcements in the north of the city were besieged by the Eighth Route Army. The opponent equipped a large number of artillery and cranes and organized an emergency artillery attack with more than 30 artillery pieces participating. The troops suffered heavy losses and could no longer continue to reinforce the Shimen. They were trying to find a way to break through and retreat..."
"It's over..." Listening to the sound of firefighting in the front yard, the radio operator brought one bad news after another, the commander was completely desperate!
