At this time, the hilltop where the enemy was trapped was illuminated by torches like daylight. Perhaps the enemy was afraid that our army would make a sneak attack in the dark, so they lit countless torches on the hilltop where they were holding on, posing a great threat to the attacking troops.
"Commander of the First Regiment, what is the comparison of the strength of the enemy and ours now and the current situation of the war?" Looking at the Commander of the First Regiment with red eyes, Lu Dongsheng suppressed his fiery temper and asked.
"Division Commander, the enemy still has about 250 troops now. We launched two battalion-level charges, but failed to charge forward, and many comrades were killed." As he said this, his red eyes became even redder.
.Lu Dongsheng patted the regimental commander on the shoulder and said nothing.
"Commander of the First Regiment, you take the troops down to make corrections first. I have brought the Third Regiment and I will definitely avenge you. Don't worry." The division commander said.
"Yes, sir."
"Commander of the Third Regiment, you lead the troops to take over the position of the next regiment and conduct a tentative attack in an hour. I don't believe they are ironclad." The division commander turned to the commander of the Third Regiment behind him and said.
"Yes, Commander, resolutely complete the task."
Immediately, the second regiment's position began to move. It didn't take long for all the troops of the first regiment to withdraw. The disbanded regiment arrived at the designated attack position and waited for the attack order.
"Start the attack."
"Tick-tock-tock..." As the charging horn sounded, under the cover of the heavy machine gun's vitality, about a hard force began to charge. Slowly, the top of the mountain was getting closer and closer, but the enemy did not see any movement, quietly.
Yes, it's already a hundred meters away.
"Hit!" Suddenly countless tongues of fire erupted from the enemy position, and the soldiers who were attacking at the front fell one after another. "Order the troops to retreat." Seeing the firepower in front of him, "Lu Dongsheng said with clenched fists.
"Division commander, let the mortars from the division headquarters be connected, otherwise the casualties of the troops will be too great, and we cannot afford such heavy casualties." The political commissar said, looking at the casualty data compiled in front of him.
Yes, mortar company. After listening to the words of the political commissar, Commander Lu Dongsheng slapped his head fiercely. "Order the mortar company to set up a position immediately and bombard the enemy's trapped hills. After the bombardment was completed, the three regiments launched
charge."
Soon, the mortar company completed the deployment of the position. "Thunder, boom, boom, boom..." With the sound of explosions, the small hilltop immediately fell into a sea of fire. Looking at the scene in front of him,
Lu Dongsheng finally understood what Army Commander Liu Hua said during the meeting: Chen Quzhen's troops must be treated with heavy firepower to kill a large number of people before they can launch a charge.
Just like that, after several rounds of artillery fire, all that was left was to simply clean up the battlefield. Looking at the stumps and broken arms in front of him, Lu Dongsheng was shocked again. From then on, it changed his understanding of heavy firepower.
"Send a report to Mr. He, saying that we have wiped out all enemy reinforcements, and reported the casualties of the troops to the army commander, waiting for the next order." Lu Dongsheng said, looking at the bodies of the fallen martyrs in front of him.
"Mr. He, first division battle report."
Looking at the battle report in front of him, Mr. He was silent. "Order the First Division to set off for Cili first and surround Cili County. The Second Division and the Third Division will follow up and report the losses of the First Division to other troops so that they can take it as a clue."
Caution, don’t underestimate the enemy, send a report to the Seventh Army Corps, we are setting up bait.”
As orders were issued, the troops of the three divisions began to surround Cili from all sides. At dawn, the Second Army successfully completed the siege of Cili County, and all mortars were ready.
, waiting for Mr. He’s order.
"Brigade Commander, Brigadier, something has happened. The Communist Army has surrounded the county and added a lot of artillery." The Cili garrison commander, who was still in bed, was woken up by his chief of staff early in the morning.
"What are you talking about? The Communist army is surrounding the county. Where are their troops?" the brigade commander asked in disbelief.
"It's true, brigade commander. The commander of the second regiment is still guarding the city wall." The chief of staff said, looking at the panicked brigade commander in front of him, dumbfounded.
"Let's go and take a look." After saying that, he put on a piece of clothing and walked out.
"Brigade Commander, look, the Communist Army has surrounded all the city gates and set up more than a dozen mortars." Seeing the brigade commander, the commander of the Second Regiment breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the brigade commander toward the city wall.
, hand over the telescope.
"What are you still doing? Let the two battalions that left the city last night come back for reinforcements." Roadblock roared with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Brigadier Commander, we can't contact those two battalions. They should have been given away by the Communist troops outside the city..." The chief of staff looked at the brigade commander's cannibal eyes and stopped talking.
"Damn, why am I so unlucky? I sent a report to Commander-in-Chief Chen in Shimen, asking for reinforcements. He said that Cili was besieged by the main force of the Communist Army He Long and was holding on. I hope the commander-in-chief will send reinforcements quickly, otherwise Cili will not be able to survive.
Protect." After saying that, he continued to observe the enemy's situation with his telescope.
Chen Quzhen Shimen Headquarters. "Commander-in-Chief, telegram from Cili." The staff officer walked into the room holding a telegram and saluted.
"What's going on?" Chen Quzhen asked with her eyes closed.
"Brigadier Wang reports that Cili is currently besieged by He Long's main force and has lost two battalions of troops. Now Cili is in danger. I hope the commander-in-chief will send reinforcements quickly to relieve Cili's danger." The staff officer said in detail.
"What? He Long besieged Cili. Let's go to the war room." Chen Quzhen stood up immediately.
"Chief of Staff, how is the situation in Cili now?" Chen Quzhen asked immediately when she saw the Chief of Staff walking around.
"Commander-in-Chief, Cili reported that He Long's troops surrounded the county town last night and began to attack the city this morning. The communist army had the assistance of mortars. Now the harvest troops only have four battalions. Brigadier Wang said that they can still hold on.
We have only one day today," the chief of staff briefly introduced the current enemy situation.
"He Long's main force only has 10,000 troops. Order: Commander Zhang will lead the troops of his three brigades to immediately go out of the city to reinforce Cili County. Under favorable circumstances, we will form a decisive battle with He Long's main force. I will bring
Two of the three remaining brigades in the city serve as reserves and can go out of the city for reinforcements at any time. I hope we can deal a heavy blow to He Long's troops this time."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, resolutely complete the mission." Commander Zhang shouted loudly.
"Well, there is an ambush by He Long, the main force on the road. Don't disperse the troops. Hold them together. One He Long's force cannot defeat one of our main divisions. Go ahead, I'll wait for your victory report." Chen Quzhen patted her hands and followed her.
Master Zhang, who conquers the world, said.l
"Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that I will honor my command and complete the mission." Commander Zhang said with a military salute.
