At this moment, the gunshots in the city stopped immediately after a burst of intensive grenade explosions. Then, nearly a hundred little Japs were seen rushing to the city gate. They started in the city gate hole.
, piled up bags of sandbags, preparing to block the entire city gate and hold on...
"Damn it, little devil, you and I are at odds with each other..." He looked at every move of the Japanese troops at the city gate. After looking at this moment, the city gate where gunshots sounded like exploding beans just now had become quiet.
Chang Xuying could not help but close his eyes in despair. Because at this time, based on his own experience, he had already guessed the outcome of the second battalion in the city. Then, he clenched his fists and continued to order:
"Order the Third Battalion to retreat immediately and get out of the fire range of the Japanese army..."
The remaining few hundred soldiers of the Third Battalion quickly retreated after hearing the retreat horn. The regiment leader Xu Ying closed his eyes and sat heavily on the ground. Then, his face showed
There was a hint of pain on his face... However, at this moment, a frightened cry reached his ears...
"Captain, they are the soldiers of the second battalion. The little devil threw the bodies of the soldiers out of the city wall..." "Little devil, I fuck your ancestors..." "Little devil, if you have the ability to fight with grandpa on the bayonet, take out the dead."
What are you angry about?" As the angry curses reached his ears, the group leader Xu Ying quickly opened his eyes.
At this moment, an incredible scene appeared in front of him... Five hundred meters away, the tall city wall was already illuminated by torches. Each little devil, under everyone's gaze,
The bodies of the sacrificed warriors were thrown directly from the city wall more than ten meters high. Then, they fell heavily on the corner of the city wall. In just a few minutes, under this section of the city wall, there were already
At least a hundred corpses of soldiers have been piled up, and the number is still increasing sharply. Looking at the soldiers around them, almost everyone has an angry expression on their face, staring with a pair of angry eyes, and blinking
Staring unblinkingly at the city wall a few hundred meters away...
"Commander, all the officers and men of the third battalion are asking you to fight. We will attack immediately. No matter what, we must snatch the bodies of our comrades from the hands of the Japs. Please approve the commander..." Just as the commander Xu Ying stared at himself
With a pair of eyes, he looked at every move of the Japanese army with an expression of disbelief. The third battalion commander, who had always had a relationship with the second battalion commander like a brother, stared at the regiment commander in front of him with red eyes and shouted loudly
's plead.
"Please approve the regiment commander, we must retrieve the bodies of our comrades..." Just when Xu Ying was deep in thought, thinking about how to answer, a huge roar reached his ears. He saw,
Behind the third battalion commander, nearly a hundred commanders and soldiers gathered one after another, looking at him at the same time, waiting for his answer...
As the roar rang out on the position, all the soldiers on the position, except for the necessary machine gunners, still stayed in the trenches to guard against possible counterattacks by the Japs. The remaining soldiers all gathered in front of the regiment leader Xu Ying. They stared.
A pair of red eyes looked expectantly at group leader Xu Ying, who was completely surrounded by everyone.
Looking at everyone's gazes, the regiment leader Xu Ying also fell silent. At this moment, a very fierce struggle was going on in his heart. Yu Qing, he must snatch back all the soldiers of the second battalion from the hands of the little devil.
However, for Yu Li, this was obviously a trap set by the Japanese army in order to anger him. At this moment, on the city wall five hundred meters away, an unknown number of light and heavy machine guns were fired at the little Japanese.
Under the control, he was already ready to fire, waiting for him to lead his troops towards their guns.
"Commander, just make your decision. We all listen to you?" Looking at the embarrassed commander Xu Ying, the third battalion commander slowly came to his senses after a brief moment of anger. Knowing that at this time,
There was a fierce struggle in the head of the group leader. Then, he said to the troubled group leader.
"Comrades, when I saw the inhuman behavior of the Japanese army, I felt the same as everyone else. I was also very indignant. I wanted to pick up my own weapons and snatch all the bodies of my comrades from the hands of the little devils and sacrifice them.
The soldiers took revenge. However, have you ever thought about why the Japanese army did this? If we attack now, we will be greeted by an airtight rain of bullets. By then, not only will we not be able to recapture all the soldiers of the Second Battalion,
Instead, he will lose his own life. At that time, whoever avenges the sacrificed soldiers will collect the remains of his comrades..." Xu Ying sorted out the thoughts in her mind and raised her fist.
, shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers...
For a moment, everyone shut their mouths because of the words of the regiment leader Xu Ying, and stopped shouting and encouraging everyone to attack and snatch the bodies of the soldiers of the second battalion from the hands of the Japanese. Everyone was there.
At the same time, he lowered his head and quietly thought about what the leader just said...
Finally, after a few minutes of silence, words slowly came out from the surrounding crowd: "Captain, we know we were wrong, just give the order, and we will all listen to you..." "
Commander, please give the order, we will avenge the soldiers of the second battalion..." "Captain, take revenge, we will take revenge..."
"Comrades, we will definitely repay this revenge. For the sacrifice of all the soldiers of the Second Battalion, we will definitely let the little devils get back all their money and profits... Now I order each company to return to their positions immediately and do what they have to do."
Do a good job of vigilance to prevent the little devils in the city from launching a counterattack..." After hearing everyone's answers, Xu Ying finally relaxed her nervousness and gave an affirmative order to the commanders around her.
"Report to the head of the regiment, the commander telegraphed, requesting you to return to the headquarters immediately to hold a combat meeting of cadres above the regiment level to make specific arrangements for the next stage of operations..." Just as everyone dispersed, a correspondent came
Reported when he arrived.
"The battle just now, if nothing else, the commander also saw it. The meeting later must be related to the battle just now. Commander of the third battalion, all the troops in the forward position will be temporarily entrusted to your command. Remember
, without my order, no matter how provocative the little devils on the city wall are, the troops will not attack. If nothing unexpected happens, the commander will definitely make new arrangements. Our first priority now is to accumulate strength for the next step.
Attack and accumulate enough combat power." After receiving the order to convene the meeting, the regiment leader Xu Ying nodded. Then, he ordered to the third battalion commander beside him.
"Commander, don't worry, I will definitely lead the troops..." the third battalion commander replied affirmatively.
In the temporary headquarters of the Fourth East Gate Regiment, the four main regiment commanders responsible for the attack, together with the three brigade commanders, arrived one after another. However, after the battle just now, everyone’s faces were filled with
There was a hint of haze. Because, in the first round of attack just now, not only the fourth regiment at the east gate lost a battalion of troops in Peiping City because of underestimating the enemy. In the other three city gates, at least one battalion was also lost.
The strength of a battalion. Such a huge loss can be said to be very demoralizing for everyone.
"Why are you keeping your heads down? Isn't it just a defeat? A defeat, and you, the veterans who have been on the battlefield, have been hit like this... Is it because of the defeat just now that you are afraid of the little guys in Beiping City?
The Japanese..." Looking at the regimental commanders and brigade commanders who lowered their heads and said nothing, Liu Hua frowned and said dissatisfied. Because he knew that it is not terrible for the troops to lose the battle. What is terrible is that...
Because of this defeat, the morale of this unit was lost.
"Commander, we are not afraid. We will avenge the sacrificed soldiers and kill all the little Japs in the city..." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, Xu Ying, the leader of the fourth regiment, who had just been holding back his anger at the forward position,
, unable to bear it any longer, Huo stood up from his seat and shouted loudly to everyone in the conference room...
"Yes, revenge, revenge for the sacrificed soldiers. Commander, just give the order, we must kill all the little devils in the city..." Each of the regiment leaders stood up from their seats, waved their fists, and shouted loudly
He roared, venting the frustration and anger in his heart at this moment.
"Okay, this is like the generals of our independent division. Even if we lose the battle, we can't lose confidence. Brigadier Li, please inform everyone first. In the first round of siege battle just now, the soldiers of the four main regiments
Loss. I hope everyone can stand up and face up to the mistakes of their command. Only by summing up lessons and learning from setbacks can we continue to be strong and win the war." Regarding everyone's performance, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction,
He gestured to Bruce Lee beside him.
"Commander, comrades, according to the statistics just now, in the first round of siege battle, due to everyone's underestimation of the enemy and the special deployment of the little devils, all units suffered huge losses to varying degrees. The four city gate directions
The four main regiments each lost about one battalion of troops. A total of 2,189 commanders and fighters were all sacrificed in the attack just now..." Bruce Lee stood up and said.
"Comrades, the loss of more than 2,000 soldiers in the four main battalions is not terrible. As long as we all have confidence, and the soldiers have confidence and determination... When the time comes, we will definitely let the little Japs in Beiping City, together with our own troops,
All the profits will be returned. Now I order everyone not to have any scruples in the next battle and not to be afraid of damaging the various cultural relics and historic sites in the city. The country is almost gone, so what is the use of these historical monuments. Therefore,
I have decided that we will attack by blasting and break through the city wall into the city. Do you have any opinions?" Liu Hua glanced at the commander in front of him and affirmed.
"No...it's just that, Commander, I hope that my fourth regiment can still serve as the main attack and avenge the sacrificed soldiers..." A group of commanders replied in unison, with confidence in their tone but also indignation towards the Japanese troops in the city...
"Very good, don't worry, everyone. All the commanders and fighters of the second brigade and the fourth regiment will still be responsible for the main attack. However, in order to increase the strength of the siege, Brigadier Wang, I will transfer four battalions of troops from your third brigade to reinforce them respectively.
As for the remaining troops and the guard brigades of the four city gates, while responsible for air defense, they also serve as the general reserve of the troops and can go to the battlefield at any time to participate in the siege battle." Liu Hua nodded and continued the order.
As the meeting was convened, the four main battalions that were transferred immediately began to assemble and reinforce the locations of the four city gates. As the four regiment leaders returned to the forward positions, the four main regiments responsible for the palace city
The remaining troops, together with a reinforced battalion, immediately entered a state of rest to replenish the physical strength consumed in the battle. They were prepared to launch a retaliatory attack on Beiping City before dawn, so that they would pay a little for their actions just now.
The price…
The rest time was short-lived. An hour later, the soldiers who had replenished their ammunition once again took up their weapons and quickly entered their fighting positions. Artillery pieces, light and heavy machine guns, also immediately started to move.
We were ready for battle and were waiting for Commander Liu Hua to issue the order to attack.
"Bang bang bang..." In everyone's expectant eyes, three signal flares were launched into the sky. Three gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky. The sound of gunfire was an order. As the signal flares were lifted into the sky, people gathered in the four cities.
All the artillery outside the door fired one shell after another at the majestic city wall at the same time...
Intense artillery fire completely enveloped the four city walls in less than a minute. Especially the dozens of heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment, using their fastest firing speed, fired a round weighing dozens of kilograms.
The artillery shells were fired at the city wall. In the words of the soldiers, the Japanese troops on the city wall knew that the independent division would not feel fear and fear just because of the casualties of a regiment. At this moment, everyone only had anger, and they fired a shell at the city wall.
A cannonball carrying everyone's anger was fired at the city head...
"Your Excellency, Commander, a new round of the Eighth Route Army's attack has begun... The four city gates were violently bombarded by the Eighth Route Army at the same time. The defenders suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of reinforcements..." Commander General Tada Shun said in his office
, while he was still immersed in the joy of annihilating a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, a loud explosion reached his ears, and at this moment, the chief of staff rushed in hurriedly, panting and reporting.
.
"Nani, the Eighth Route Army has launched a new round of attack... What does the Eighth Route Army want to do? It just lost a regiment of troops, and it launched a new round of attack without any rest. Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Tada Shun suddenly stood up from his seat, with a look of shock on his face, and asked in disbelief.
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is all true. The city defense troops reported that the Eighth Route Army assembled more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers to conduct violent shelling on the four city gates. The defending troops at the four city gates,
Facing the sudden and violent shelling by the Eighth Route Army, we all suffered heavy losses..." the chief of staff replied affirmatively.
"Bagheya Road must be revenge. The Eighth Route Army must be retaliating for our army's actions just now and the loss of their regiment just now. It must be like this...Chief of Staff, send two squadrons of reinforcements to each city gate.
Let them guard the city gate. As long as our army can block this round of retaliatory attacks by the Eighth Route Army, the morale of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be severely hit..." General Tada Shun reacted quickly. With rich combat experience, he was very
He quickly figured out the reason for the sudden attack by the independent division outside the city, and gave a loud order.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander..." With the dispatch of reinforcements, the ten-minute shelling also ended. After just ten minutes of fierce shelling, although the solid city wall did not suffer much damage. However, on the city wall, after passing
The shelling that lasted just ten minutes was as bloody and terrifying as Shura Hell...
Originally, a brigade of nearly a thousand little Japs stood on the city wall, preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops. However, what they did not expect was that they did not see a single Eighth Route Army soldier. Because of his enthusiasm, he rushed out of the trench and became a soldier.
They became their target. Instead, they were greeted by a rain of artillery shells.
Especially the mortar shells, which are fast-firing and mainly use fragments as the main upward force. Just one round of shells hit nearly a thousand Japanese troops who were all guarding the city wall before they had time to react and move.
Nearly a hundred casualties were paid... However, such casualties were just the beginning for the Japanese troops on the city wall...
Just as the remaining Japanese soldiers were running back and forth on the city wall, looking for a suitable hiding spot, one shell after another continued to fall around them, and then there was a violent explosion... Just like that, a
The little devils one after another were either blown to pieces or turned into cold corpses...
After ten minutes of shelling, nearly a thousand shells fell on the city wall in the direction of almost every city gate. After nearly a thousand shells of various types, the entire city wall was almost stained red with the blood of the little Japanese. Soldiers
The remaining limbs and arms were broken, and the internal organs were blown everywhere, leaving the remaining Japanese troops on the city wall with almost no place to stay...
"Da da da..." Just when the remaining Japanese soldiers on the city wall were stunned by the scene in front of them, a burst of intensive gunshots came to their ears from outside the city. Outside the city gate, the Eighth Route Army's position was
, all the light and heavy machine guns spit out dense rain of bullets almost at the same time...
"Baga, defend immediately and be sure to block the Eighth Route Army's attack. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Everyone, hold on for a few more minutes... Your heavy machine guns will fire soon..." Hearing the gunfire, the captain immediately changed from shock.
He reacted. He waved the command knife in his hand and drove the soldiers who were completely shocked at this moment into his fighting position...
