Chapter 686 Li Yunlong: You know nothing (second update)
Author: 574981
Huang Qi then showed a happy expression and said: "Deputy commander, the Japanese's initiative to retreat shows that they know that they are not our opponent. I think this is a good thing?"
Li Yunlong shook his head: "You know nothing..."
"If we want to force Neji Okamura to mobilize troops from the front to return to Baoding, it's not enough to attack Baoding. We must inflict heavy losses on them and make them feel the danger that Baoding will be conquered by us at any time."
"Defense can severely damage the Japanese reinforcements more than offense, and hurt Neji Okamura."
"Now that the Japanese and puppet troops have withdrawn, we want to continue to inflict heavy damage on the Baoding garrison, so we can only turn from defense to offense and take the initiative to launch an assault into the center of the city."
"Our troops are limited, and the offensive pressure must be very high."
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he began to issue orders: "Find a way to form a commando team of 300 people, use all the thunder cannons and mortars, and maximize the firepower advantage. First, attack 500 meters into the center of the city, and then
We will decide our next action plan based on the war situation."
…………
At the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army in Pingyang Town, Major General Fujita was in a very bad mood.
I thought I would be able to make a breakthrough during the day, capture Pingyang Town, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army troops in the town.
Unexpectedly, I still underestimated the resistance of the Eighth Route Army in Pingyang Town and overestimated the ability of the soldiers under my command to deal with tunnel warfare.
By nightfall, a quarter of the tunnels in Pingyang Town were still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
The demolition team also paid a heavy price in the battle.
Coupled with the casualties caused by the Eighth Route Army's active attack, the brigade lost another brigade in the daytime battle.
I thought that the battle would end tomorrow, completely destroying the tunnels in Pingyang Town, and killing the Shunping garrison. Unexpectedly, something happened in Baoding City at this time.
There is an urgent need to mobilize troops to return reinforcements.
There are not many troops left in the three-way sweep, and Okamura Neiji's withdrawal of two reinforcement brigades at once will definitely make the troops even more stretched.
Even if he succeeded in taking Pingyang Town, he would not have enough troops to continue the fight.
But Baoding had to be rescued.
The commander is still guarding there, and nothing he can say can cause any accident to happen to him.
After discussing with Major General Kawasaki, they decided to have the rear right flank sweep troops back to support Baoding and annihilate all the Eighth Route Army attacking Baoding.
Only when the rear area is stable can they concentrate on sweeping the base area in the center of the wing.
More than two thousand Japs, armed only with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, advanced lightly and marched back to Baoding to aid.
…………
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, Kong Jie had prepared a pocket formation and was waiting for the Japanese reinforcements to hit their guns.
Several battalion company commanders were even more excited than taking chicken blood.
During this period of time, the garrison group has been out fighting the Japanese. They killed two squadrons today and a large group tomorrow. They were jealous and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese.
The arrival of the two reinforced brigades just gave them some relief from their addiction to fighting Japanese invaders.
"Are the artillery soldiers ready..." Kong Jie first looked at the commander of the field artillery battalion.
Compared with infantry, the probability of artillery going to the battlefield is much smaller.
The field artillery battalion is equipped with all 75mm caliber field artillery. They can only be used in big battles, and the chance of going to the battlefield is even smaller.
After finally winning a big battle, every soldier was exhausted.
The field artillery battalion commander immediately stood up: "Regiment commander, don't worry..."
"We have measured the shooting parameters of the artillery in advance. After the battle begins, we will ensure that the infantry will hit wherever we are asked."
Kong Jie continued: "The Japanese reinforcements have two reinforced brigades..."
"As long as our firepower is strong enough, we can blind them instantly and destroy their will to fight, and the rest of the fight will be much easier to fight."
"The combat missions of other units remain unchanged."
"The first battalion and one company are responsible for stopping the head, and the third battalion and the ninth company are responsible for intercepting the tail..."
"The cavalry company will also join the battle."
"The terrain here is particularly good for cavalry attacks."
"After the battle started, I patrolled and guarded the battlefield in platoon units. If I found any little Japs slipping through the net, I would rush in and eliminate them, striving to wipe out all the returning troops."
The scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded in the night sky.
Although the Japanese are on their way, their vigilance is not bad at all.
Before the shells even hit the ground, they all fell down in unison, moving very quickly.
At first glance, you can tell that it is the result of months of training and actual combat.
But field artillery is different from mortars.
The latter mainly uses shell fragments to kill the enemy. As long as the troops lie down in time, the damage can be minimized.
The former mainly uses shock waves to kill people. Even if the enemy is lying on the ground, the powerful shock waves can still shatter their internal organs.
There didn't appear to be any wounds on the surface, but the internal organs had been shattered to pieces.
Sixteen field cannons fell from the sky, and a large number of fireballs were instantly exploded along the highway. Thick smoke rose into the sky. Many little Japs were blown away because the bullets hit too close, and were even blown into pieces, leaving no bones left.
The captain of the Japanese team was no longer a novice on the battlefield. As soon as he heard the sound of artillery, he knew that he was being attacked by a large number of field artillery.
It is well known that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has a field artillery battalion that always follows the main force of the Duer Regiment.
Now that the field artillery battalion has appeared here, 80% of the main force of the Duer Regiment is also hiding here.
A bold idea quickly came to my mind: "Surround the point for reinforcements. The Eighth Route Army in the Wing wants to ambush our returning troops here."
"Don't lie down. The troops continue to advance and rush out of the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation as quickly as possible."
"They have more than a dozen field guns and a lot of troops."
"If we are blocked here and surrounded, Amaterasu will not be able to save us."
The second round of field artillery shells fell quickly, and in the billowing smoke, more Japanese and puppet troops were killed and injured in the artillery fire.
But they execute very well.
After receiving the order to advance, I rushed forward while staring at the artillery fire, letting the artillery shells explode around me.
"Da da da……"
The sound of a firefight suddenly sounded in front of the team. The captain's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Captain, there is an Eighth Route Army blocking force ahead..." The messenger hurried over to report, turning his bad premonition into reality.
"Can you rush over?" the captain asked anxiously.
"It's difficult..." The messenger frowned and felt confused.
"We must rush even if we are in a difficult situation. If we don't rush, all of us will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army here." The commander of the regiment ordered firmly.
After saying that, he said to the captain on the side.
"Take your men and attack, and use all the mortars and heavy machine guns we have equipped."
"Even if one life is exchanged for another, we will break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position,"
"Other troops will immediately gather towards me, and a temporary defense line will be established with me as the center."
"If the troops can't rush through, we can only stay here and wait for reinforcements.
"Send another telegram to the Baoding headquarters. Our unit was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the march and is in the process of breaking out..."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
