Five hundred and seventieth chapters Liu Hua excited generals
Chapter 573: Liu Hua’s Inspiring General
"Boom, boom, boom..." As a series of explosions sounded, the planes in the sky that were still arrogant just now turned into several huge fireballs. The six planes were strafed by the dense firepower network on the ground.
Next, four were directly destroyed. As for the remaining two planes, after the bombs were hurriedly removed from the belly of the plane, they flew away from this extremely mysterious battlefield with scars all over their bodies.
.
The arrival of the Japanese reinforcement aircraft not only did not relieve any pressure on the defending troops in the county. On the contrary, its heavy losses further aggravated the panic of the Japanese troops in the county and further hit their already extremely low morale...
Compared with the low morale of the Japanese troops in the county, the complete opposite is outside the city, where three main divisions are responsible for the main attack...
There are three main divisions and six main regiments with a total of nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters. When they see the Japanese aircraft in the sky, they are usually extremely arrogant in front of them and can almost be said to be invincible... In the advance detachment, various light and heavy machine guns are crazy
Under the attack, there was almost no room to fight back, and one after another exploded. Then, the remaining planes also withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment...
The morale of the soldiers has reached its highest point without any encouragement from political workers at all levels...
Compared with the results achieved by the first group of the advance detachment in the air, three main divisions sat on the positions in the three directions of the city gate. After passing through small groups, they conducted continuous tentative attacks for an hour. Under the high morale of
Encouraged, the soldiers launched successive attacks one after another against the Japanese positions in front of them...
As for the little Japs guarding the city wall, their nerves were already tense. Faced with repeated tentative attacks by the Eighth Route Army outside the city, after only an hour-long frantic blockade, they carried various ammunition at any time.
Already ran out of money without realizing it...
Just when the little Japs, light and heavy machine gunners, and even ordinary unpopular ones, faced another attack by the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and were about to pull the trigger again and use a dense rain of bullets to repel the Eighth Route Army's attack... they were surprised.
I discovered that the number of bullets in the ammunition boxes around me has reached the point where I can count them... As for the bullets carried by the infantry, they can also be counted with both hands...
All along, no matter what the situation, the little devil has enough ammunition and does not need to consider logistical supplies. He is worried about the lack of ammunition. For the first time, he felt that during a fierce battle with the enemy, his ammunition suddenly ran out.
, I felt extremely desperate at the time...
Of course, every move of the Japanese troops on the city wall was seen outside the city, in the eyes of commanders at all levels in the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army...
In the forward headquarters of the First Division outside the east gate of Baishan County, the division commander had been standing at the lookout for more than an hour. As the troops began another round of tentative attacks, the frown on his face finally slowly relaxed.
. And before the division commander himself had time to speak, the voices of the regimental commanders beside him came to his ears...
"Division Commander, the Little Japs have run out of ammunition... In this exploratory attack, the Little Japs' light and heavy firepower density is less than half of what it was just now. According to the Little Japs' personality, as long as they have sufficient ammunition, they will never do this.
...If my prediction is correct, the Japs must have almost used up their ammunition...The light and heavy machine guns actually started firing..."
"Well, I also saw it... I ordered the artillery positions behind me to prepare. After this round of exploratory attacks retreated, the artillery immediately opened fire and covered the entire city wall with artillery fire. Then, the whole division gave you a
The regiment provides fire cover. Your regiment must also take down the city wall for me within half an hour and open a breakthrough for the main force of the division to enter the city..." The division commander nodded with deep approval and immediately ordered
road...
"Commander, don't worry. All the commanders and fighters of the regiment have already polished their bayonets and are waiting for your order. Then, they will rush into the county seat and take care of the little Japs in front of us..."
The regiment leader replied with confidence, turned around and rushed out of the headquarters, running towards his troops...
In the blink of an eye, a section of the city wall where the east gate of the Japanese army was located was covered by fierce artillery fire... And just as the rumbling sound of artillery continued to reach the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Inside the temporary headquarters of the regiment, a group of
The regiment commander, with an excited face, was facing the dozen battalion and company commanders in front of him, arranging specific offensive tasks...
"First company, you are still the sharp sword of the whole regiment. No matter how much the price is, you must open a breakthrough for me on the city wall. Then, hold on to the breakthrough for me and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops... 1
The two companies of the second and third battalions followed closely behind, expanding the breakthrough opened by the first company... Behind the two battalions, the second and third battalions followed the breakthrough opened by the first battalion, rushed into the county seat at the fastest speed, and rushed into the county seat.
.. In short, we must occupy a prominent point for the main force behind us in the county town so that the troops can continue to attack... Do you all understand your mission?" He glanced at the dozen companies and battalions in front of him.
Commander, the commander of the regiment who received the main attack mission gave a loud order...
"Clear..."
"Very good, you should return to your positions immediately and lead the troops... After the bombardment is over, all the firepower of the entire regiment will be fired immediately to cover our sharp knife company and open a breakthrough... Let's break up the meeting now..." After that,
, the regiment leader took a few guards and quickly ran towards the offensive position of the Sharp Knife Company...
On the sharp knife company's attack position, after being assigned the task of sharp knife again, all the commanders and soldiers did not show any strange expressions. Maybe it was because everyone was already familiar with this task... After hearing the company commander's order, they immediately sat down
In the trenches, I began to wipe the weapons in my hands and check the various ammunition in the bullet belts...
Of course, compared with the calmness of the veterans, the faces of the dozens of newly recruited soldiers in the entire company clearly showed a trace of fear, even timidity...
"Platoon leader, do you think that more than a hundred of us can open a breakthrough on the city wall that the Japs are holding on to?" A recruit with a panicked face pointed at the city wall not far away that was completely shrouded in artillery fire.
Facing the platoon leader next to him who was wiping his pistol, he asked in a low voice...
"Let me tell you, back then, when the commander was not released, we did not have any artillery support. Each company only had one light machine gun, and the ammunition was not guaranteed to be sufficient... What's more important is that at that time, we were still in
Amid the wild bombings of the Japs' planes. At that time, our company, as the sharp knives of the whole regiment, was able to tear a hole in the Japs' defense line... Look at the Japs's defenses now...
The plane was shot away by us, and the troops still have such fierce artillery support. Looking at the light and heavy machine guns of the company, there are four crooked guns and one heavy machine gun, not to mention the ammunition. You can shoot as much as you want.
...With such good conditions, of course we can win...When the time comes, just stay close behind me when we charge..." Regarding the recruit's question, the platoon leader looked at the front door not far away.
The city wall that was constantly exploding said with pride...
"But, platoon leader, the Japs are not vegetarians... I heard some veterans say that the Japs' marksmanship is accurate..." Although, the platoon leader's words relieved the situation to a certain extent.
The recruit was nervous... However, this recruit, who had obviously surrendered from the Manchurian Army, was deeply afraid of the Japanese army... Faced with the platoon leader's answer, he still said with lingering fear...
"You kid, let me tell you the truth...haven't you seen that after more than an hour of our attack, the little devil is running out of ammunition...Besides, I heard what our company commander has said, because we
The commander's plan is that the little devils in the county town have not eaten all day and night, and they have not taken any rest... Coupled with the battle just now, the remaining little devils on the city wall may not even be able to hold a gun now.
Not to mention the combat effectiveness... So, don't worry. When the time comes, when you see the little Japs, just aim and shoot, don't be afraid..." the platoon leader continued to comfort...
In the blink of an eye, the ten-minute shelling was over... Just as the remaining little Japs on the city wall dragged their bodies with almost no strength, they quickly rushed to their combat positions.
A company of sharp knives had already rushed out of the trenches amidst a loud charge. More than a hundred soldiers, under the cover of a large amount of light and heavy firepower behind them, formed a skirmish line and quickly rushed towards the city wall...
At this moment, in the headquarters less than a few kilometers away from the northeast, Commander Liu Hua still held up the telescope in his hand and stood motionless at the lookout of the headquarters, observing the heated battlefield not far away.
It's been several hours....
In the entire headquarters, no matter who it was, including the advice from Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu, Commander Liu Hua smiled, shook his head, and continued to stand where he was, observing the battlefield not far away.
Because, at this moment, Liu Hua knew: This battle is a crucial battle, both for the Anti-Japanese Alliance and for the Northeast Field Army that will leave the country in the future... If it fails, then what will happen to him in front of him?
Several days of hard work and the results achieved by the troops in the past few days, including a carefully designed combat plan by the headquarters, will be in vain. The resistance alliance, advance detachment and all anti-Japanese armed forces may also be completely ruined here.
Of course, what worries Liu Hua the most is that the entire three northeastern provinces, thousands of square kilometers of land, will really fall into the hands of the Japanese army...
And if this battle is successful, the troops can wipe out the 40,000 Japanese troops in Baishan County. Then, at least within one to two months, all Japanese and puppet forces in the entire Mengshan area will disappear. The newly established
The anti-alliance alliance will also win a new period of development...
Of course, as the commander, Liu Hua is confident that within one or two months after the army's victory, the existing base area of the army will be expanded at least several times. The tentacles of the base area will be extended to himself.
The first target that has been tempered for a long time and has a large amount of iron ore resources is the Anshan area...
Therefore, for this battle, which is related to the future development direction of the three northeastern provinces. As the commander leading this battle, Liu Hua must not pay abnormal attention to it...
In order to enable himself to understand the situation of the entire battlefield at the first time, Commander Liu Hua had to stand at the lookout all the time and personally observe every move on the entire battlefield... and then, according to the situation at the first time, he could
The latest battle situation, various new adjustments have been made to the entire battlefield...
However, at this moment, just half an hour after the First Division launched a new round of attack, an excited voice quickly reached the ears of everyone in the headquarters from far to near...
"Commander...Commander, good news, good news just sent from the First Division; the troops have successfully opened a breach at the east gate. At the current position, there is already a main force of troops pouring out from the breach.
Entering Baishan County... A regiment of follow-up troops also followed up. Now, Mayor Wang is leading all the commanders and soldiers to occupy a large area at the city gate and the city gate, and is engaged in a fierce battle with the little devils in the city.
Battle. Commander Wang asked about the troops’ next combat plan and tasks..." Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu said with excitement...
Suddenly, Commander Liu Hua was standing at the lookout, motionless observing every move on the battlefield. A long-lost smile finally appeared on his face. He put down the telescope in his hand, walked quickly to the map in the headquarters, and looked at it.
The deputy commander next to him continued to ask...
"Lao Yang, how is the situation of the second and third main divisions? How long will it take before we can attack Baishan County and form a pincer attack on the Japanese army together with the first division..."
"According to the progress of each division that I just learned, the remaining two main divisions will definitely be able to tear apart the Japanese defense line in front of them in half an hour at most..." Yang Jingyu said with certainty...
"Okay, communications staff, immediately report the results of the first division to the entire army for commendation. At the same time, in the name of the field army headquarters, all officers and soldiers of the first division will be credited with first-class merit... Tell the commanders of the second and third divisions,
Breaking into Baishan County is victory. All the commanders and fighters of the First Division are waiting for them in the county..." Liu Hua immediately ordered...
"Commander, your order is really extraordinary. If the commanders of the second and third divisions find out, they will have to fight the little devil in front of them..." Yang Jingyu said with a smile...
"What I want is this effect... Staff Officer Wang, call back to Commander Wang of the First Division: Just say that I, Liu Hua, will give him a great credit. However, he is required to lead all the commanders and fighters of the First Division to hold the position and block the enemy's attack."
Countercharge... At the same time, after entering the county, the troops are prohibited from entering rashly. You must know that even a sick cat will bite if it is cornered. More importantly, what we are facing is armed to the teeth.
, you little devil with no humanity at all..." After taking a look at the city defense map of Baishan County in front of him, Liu Hua continued to order...
"At the same time, tell Commander Wang that after the remaining two main divisions have all entered the county, the three main divisions must fight steadily and advance hand in hand... Their mission is not to eliminate many little Japs, but to continuously compress the Japanese army.
living space. As long as three main divisions can drive the Japs out of Baishan County, it will be regarded as a great achievement... Finally, tell several division leaders that there is not a single Chinese in Baishan County, and there will be no Chinese in the future.
, let them give me a free hand and fight. If it doesn't work, push the artillery into the county town, and use cannonballs to destroy the houses in the county town one by one..."
"Yes, Commander, I will go and deliver the order right away..."
Looking at the departure of the combat staff at the entrance of the command department, Deputy Commander Yang, who was standing next to Liu Hua, couldn't help but sigh... At this moment, he had gone through a series of battles with Liu Hua again
After that, for the first time, I felt the decisiveness and excellent commanding ability of my partner in front of me. At the same time, I was also glad that I could fight side by side with such an excellent commander and command the battle together...
Sure enough, less than ten minutes after the combat staff officer left, a communications staff officer rushed into the headquarters with a telegram and an excited look on his face, bringing the good news that the Second Division had entered the county.
..
And just as the communications staff member finished speaking, the good news that the Third Division successfully entered the county came and reached everyone's ears...
"Commander, I saw that the commanders of the second and third main divisions were all fully unleashed by your provocation. In just ten minutes, they successfully entered Baishan County.
Together with the First Division, we formed a semi-encirclement situation against the Japanese troops in the county..." After reading the telegram in his hand, deputy commander Yang Jingyu said with a smile...
At this moment, Liu Hua's tense heart finally relaxed... Because as long as the three main divisions successfully broke through the Japanese city wall defenses and entered the county town, then the entire campaign plan would almost be successful.
More than half of it....
Thinking of this, Liu Hua felt unusually relaxed. Then, he said to the deputy commander Yang Jingyu beside him...
"Lao Yang, the three main divisions, really lived up to our expectations. They successfully invaded the county seat in such a long time... Now, the rest of our time is just to sit here and wait for the county seat.
