Chapter 726: Take down a few planes for fun (first update)
The leader smiled and nodded: "If Li Yunlong was commanding this battle alone, there might be some impulsiveness."
"Kong Jie and Huang Yu both participated, which shows that they decided to fight this battle after careful consideration."
"Kong Jie has a cautious character and never fights an uncertain battle."
"Huang Yu's mind works very quickly and he often comes up with some unexpected tactics and tactics."
"Huang Yu must have had an idea for the storming of Baoding."
"Although I don't know how they plan to storm Baoding, I have confidence in them."
"chief of staff……"
"We are too far away from the battlefield and beyond our reach."
"But the Yizhong Eighth Route Army can be reinforced from other aspects."
"Let the intelligence department immediately pay attention to the mobilization of all Japanese and puppet troops around Baoding, and report any news immediately."
"Okamura Neji will not give up Baoding easily."
"Helping the Yizhong Eighth Route Army block all reinforcements is to give them the best support."
"Especially in the direction of Beiping..."
"In order to attack the base area in the center of the wing, Okamura Neiji has seconded tens of thousands of elite troops from the Kwantung Army."
"The Kwantung Army has a large number of troops, so it doesn't matter if all of them are defeated."
"I'm worried that Okamura Neji will try to take advantage of the Kwantung Army again."
"Mounting troops from the three eastern provinces southward, they raided Baoding and caught the Eighth Route Army by surprise."
The chief of staff agreed: "The North China Front seems to be strong and strong, but there are too many places that need to be defended."
"It is difficult to mobilize heavy troops to reinforce Baoding in a short period of time."
"The only way to break the situation is to find foreign aid."
"I will make arrangements now to have people keep an eye on all the routes southward for the Kwantung Army and not give Neji Okamura any opportunity to take advantage of it."
…………
"Boom boom boom..."
Li Yunlong is the king of attack.
Although the heavy machine guns on the top of the city fired fiercely, the bullets they fired could not turn around.
As long as the attacking troops dig trenches and the soldiers hide inside, it will be useless no matter how many machine guns the Japanese army mounts on the city walls.
Mortars are direct-firing artillery. Shells fall from the sky and can injure attacking troops despite the protection of trenches.
Relatively speaking, mortars pose a much greater threat to attacking forces than heavy machine guns.
Although Okamura Neiji can airdrop mortars to Baoding, he cannot airdrop professional artillery.
Kill the artillery. No matter how many mortars are in the city, they are just a pile of scrap metal and will have no effect.
The three mortar companies under the Sole Regiment were specifically focused on bombing the Japanese mortar positions.
Relying on the numerical advantage, six of the eighteen shells in the first round hit the target accurately.
In the violent explosion, a large amount of black smoke rose from the Japanese artillery position at the same time. Japanese artillerymen were blown away, some were blown over, and some fell to the ground screaming.
Even three mortars were blown over.
"Baga... we are being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery..." the leader of the Japanese artillery squadron shouted with fear.
"They have more mortars than we do..."
"Everyone move quickly and get out of here...quickly..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The mortar fire rate was too fast. The squadron leader had just ran five or six meters when the second round of shells had already followed.
Many more little Japs fell under this round of artillery fire.
…………
Dozens of soldiers who were lying more than 500 meters outside the city took action again, wielding engineering shovels and desperately digging holes in the ground.
After a while, the excavated soil piled up into a small mound in front of his head.
The pit was almost half a meter deep. The soldiers digging the pit took advantage of the situation and hid in it, huddled inside and continued to expand and deepen the bunker.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the scattered individual bunkers outside the city had been connected into a line.
About a battalion of troops took shelter inside to repair the fortifications.
There is also a company of troops who divide their troops into squads and dig trenches bit by bit towards the corners of the city wall using earth digging methods.
In order to prevent the bullets fired by the Japanese from the top of the city from flying into the trenches and injuring the troops inside.
Several trenches are all S-shaped.
Inside the unfinished former enemy headquarters, Huang Yu was pointing at the Baoding city wall and introducing his ideas again.
"Captain, Commander Li..."
"Since we have enough time to attack Baoding."
"Then let's trade time for casualties."
"Use three days to build offensive positions outside the city and surround Baoding."
"The offensive position is divided into three trenches, one hundred meters apart from each other. The frontmost trench is two hundred meters away from the city head."
"The commandos are lying in wait there."
"After the general attack begins, use the shortest possible time to get to the outside of the city and blast the city wall."
"The trenches are connected by communication trenches."
"All mine cannons are deployed in the first two trenches.="
"Prepare more than three preparation positions for each flying thunder cannon."
"After the first round of launch."
"It doesn't matter if it hits the target or not."
"All were moved to the reserve position through the trenches and prepared for another launch."
"The same flying mine artillery position can only be used once on the battlefield, leaving no opportunity for the Japanese artillery."
"A total of one thousand thunder cannons must use explosive packets."
"Based on a 20% hit rate, that's two hundred explosive packets."
"One explosive pack kills ten Japanese and puppet troops, and more than two thousand Japanese and puppet troops are finished."
"Kill some more of the other troops."
"We have wiped out all the little Japanese mobile units in the city.
"The troops suddenly launched a general attack and tried to tear a hole in the city."
"The commandos took the opportunity to enter Baoding, and we won this battle."
Kong Jie thought for a moment and replied: "Three days of digging trenches will definitely be enough."
"The only thing I'm worried about now is what will we do after daybreak?"
"Given the little devil's fighting habits, he will definitely call for air support."
"If we choose to retreat, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will be able to break out of Baoding under the cover of aircraft and destroy the offensive positions we built overnight."
"We repaired it at night, and during the day the Japanese bombed it. Over and over again, we couldn't repair the offensive position in ten days."
"If we don't retreat..."
"The troops will be exposed under the nose of the Japanese army."
"Even if there are trenches to hide in, the casualties will be very high in the face of aircraft bombing."
"We worked hard to kill hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in one night."
"The Japanese planes only need a few aerial bombs to wipe out one of our main battalions."
"I'm worried that before Baoding is captured, all the siege troops will be blown up."
Huang Yu had obviously thought of a way to break the situation in advance and replied: "Be prepared for air defense in advance."
"Minimize the threat from the Japs' planes."
"How to surrender?" Kong Jie asked immediately.
"The plane is in the sky and we are on the ground. As long as the height is high enough, our rifle guns can't do anything to them."
"Let the Japanese planes find their bombing targets." Huang Yu continued to introduce.
"The troops created smoke in the offensive positions and used thick smoke to block the pilots' vision, so that they could not see the situation on the ground and could only bomb blindly."
"The accuracy of the bombing has deteriorated, and the casualties of the troops have naturally decreased."
"If the Japanese choose to lower their bombing altitude, they will rush into the smoke and bomb us at low altitude."
"The light and heavy machine guns we have are not just for free."
"Maybe we can even fly a few planes for fun."
