Chapter 1148 The brigade leader lost a lot because of a small thing
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
The shells passed over the city with a screaming sound, and hit the battlefield between the enemy and us steadily.
Fires shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and countless soldiers were blown away along with the soil on the ground. Thunderous explosions spread across the battlefield at the same time, deafening.
To be honest, Huang Yu didn't expect this move from the Japs.
A group and a half of the Japs had 1,400 or 500 people. As a result, the Japs in the city gave up immediately and used them as bait to severely injure the attacking troops they sent.
This shows how ruthless the Japanese brigade commander was. In order to achieve his goal, the lives of more than a thousand soldiers under his command were not a big deal in his eyes. He would just give it up.
The Japanese could indeed severely damage the attacking troops of the Sole Brigade by doing this, but Huang Yu was not unprepared.
He brought more than 20 heavy artillery pieces, more than 40 mountain artillery pieces and field artillery pieces, and prepared them for firing well in advance of the action to deal with possible accidents on the battlefield.
Now that the Japanese artillery had exposed its targets in advance, it gave Huang Yu a good chance to destroy them all in one battle.
If I could really kill the Japanese artillery before the general attack, I would be able to use artillery fire to suppress the Japanese and puppet troops during the subsequent attack, and the casualties of the troops in the siege battle would definitely be much smaller.
At the enemy headquarters of the 1st Brigade, Huang Yu grabbed the microphone next to him when he received the news that the attacking troops were covered by Japanese artillery fire!
This is a phone specifically connected to artillery positions.
Although the radio station is no longer a rare treasure in the Sixth Army Division of the Wing.
Although the Japanese army only equipped troops at the brigade level with radio stations, at the regiment level or above, the number of radio stations equipped by the troops began to increase geometrically.
Because the wing headquarters and brigade headquarters may send troops out for maneuver at any time, in order to facilitate command, even if these mobile troops only have two squadrons, the headquarters will equip them with radio stations.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, in addition to the three brigades, each of the main wing of the Japanese army is equipped with two radios (one of which is a backup), the wing headquarters is equipped with two high-power radios, and generally two to three mobile radios are strengthened, plus
When you get up, it's ten steps upward.
A main brigade is equipped with at least thirty radio stations in total.
Although many radio stations were destroyed in the battle or bombed by the Japanese themselves, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army still captured many during the battle.
In addition to the radio stations captured by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army when they captured a large number of counties and strongholds occupied by the Japanese, the number of radio stations equipped by the entire Yizhong Sixth Army division has exceeded fifty.
All radio stations at the basic regiment level and above are equipped with radio stations, and all important battalion-level stations are also equipped with radio stations.
Like heavy artillery regiments and special forces regiments, basically every battalion is equipped with a radio.
Although the radio station is very convenient and can communicate with each other anytime and anywhere, it is not as convenient as the telephone because of the need to translate messages.
Therefore, as long as the distance is not too far, in order to quickly contact the other party, everyone generally prefers to make a phone call.
"Report to the headquarters, this is an artillery position..." The expectant report of his subordinates soon came from the phone receiver.
Huang Yu didn't waste any time and directly ordered: "I am Huang Yu..."
"I request the artillery unit to immediately mobilize all mountain artillery and heavy artillery to launch an artillery counterattack against the Japanese artillery unit in the city. The faster the better, and try to kill the Japanese artillery unit in the city for me."
"Promise to complete the task..." The person who answered the phone on the other side was also a cheerful person. He hung up the phone after shouting these five words.
Huang Yu put down the microphone at the same time and turned his attention to the map again.
…………
Japanese Army Baoding Garrison Headquarters.
The chief of staff was personally answering the phone call from the garrison in the north of the city. Listening to the report on the phone, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and his expression was very complicated.
After listening for a full minute, he put down the microphone, considered his tone for a moment, and then reported: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"Report from the garrison in the north of the city: The artillery unit hit the target and successfully covered the battlefield where the enemy and we were fighting with artillery fire. A large number of Eighth Route Army troops were killed and injured in the artillery fire..."
"Our soldiers also suffered heavy losses."
"But because there were more Eighth Route Army troops on the battlefield than we did, their casualties were obviously more than ours."
"in addition……"
"The Eighth Route Army that besieged our attacking troops has begun to show signs of retreat after being covered by artillery fire. Maybe this artillery raid can help many of the attacking troops return to Xiongxian County..."
Relatively speaking, this is the only good news among several news that the chief of staff thinks.
The brigade leader seemed to think so too. He sighed deeply and said: "The Chinese have a saying: put yourself to death before reliving. I was a little confused before, but now I finally understand."
"As long as we fight hard enough and fight to the end with the Eighth Route Army with the determination to die, unless the Eighth Route Army also gives up their lives, we will definitely be able to find a way out."
"Let the artillery continue to bomb me..."
"The Eighth Route Army that besieged the attacking troops certainly didn't expect that our heroes would be cut off. They would rather not have the more than a thousand elite troops they besieged to drag them down."
"Unless they are prepared for more than 3,000 troops to be severely damaged by our artillery troops, they will definitely withdraw from the battle, and the attacking troops will have the opportunity to quickly break away from the battle and withdraw to the county."
This time the chief of staff did not hesitate.
It could not only severely damage the besieging troops of the Eighth Route Army, but also rescue the attacking troops from despair. This was a good thing that could not be achieved even if it were pie in the sky. He had no reason to refuse.
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosions coming from outside the city were getting denser and more intense, and the brigade commander could hear them clearly even while guarding the headquarters.
At this moment, he only had one idea: the artillery troops should quickly blast away the Eighth Route Army that was besieging the attacking troops.
From time to time, I turned to look at the phone, hoping to receive good news from the north of the city as soon as possible.
"Rumble..."
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The phone ring that the brigade leader was anxiously waiting for did not ring as promised. Instead, a series of explosions occurred at close range.
The impact point was very close to the headquarters, and everyone could clearly feel the vibration and shock wave from the explosion.
The brigade leader was stunned. His eyes widened for a long time and he didn't react.
The chief of staff reacted quickly, his face turned pale, and he shouted: "No... something happened to the artillery unit..."
"Your Excellency, Commander, we forgot that the Eighth Route Army also has an artillery unit and is equipped with a large number of heavy artillery."
"If the two sides really fight, we may not be their opponent. In the end, we completely exposed the artillery unit to the Eighth Route Army, which is really inappropriate..."
The brigade commander finally reacted and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and notify the artillery to move...quickly..."
"They must not have any accidents, otherwise there will be no need to defend Xiong County..."
