"Boom..." A mortar shell, with a sharp whistling sound, accurately landed around the headquarters. Finally, it exploded less than thirty meters away from the headquarters. The explosion caused by the shell
Amidst the huge explosion, a burst of rubble fell from the roof like raindrops. In just a moment, the huge battle was shrouded in thick smoke...
"Old Chen, Old Song, are you okay..." In the headquarters war room, under the protection of the guards, Commander Deng Hua, who was unharmed, patted the dust on his body and faced the position of the political commissar.
He asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Haha, Commander, don't worry. The Japs haven't built the shell that will kill me yet..." Just as Deng Hua finished speaking, the hearty voice of political commissar Chen Kang rang in the war room. Very good.
It diluted the tense atmosphere in the war room due to the explosion of artillery shells just now...
"Commander, I, Sun Shiquan, don't want to die until the kid is driven away... Besides, if the kid wants to kill me with artillery shells, he will have to practice hard for two more years..." Staff Officer Sun Shiquan
A long sound followed closely and reached everyone's ears.
"Well said, the little devil has not yet created the artillery shells to destroy us..." Deng Hua replied with great agreement.
However, since the last reserve team with combat effectiveness was launched, Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan, who frowned and never relaxed, has not had such a good attitude. He said with a worried look...
"Five hours have passed since the commander, political commissar, and reserve troops launched their attack. According to reports from commanders at all levels, including the street fighting at the front, the total number of troops we have that can continue to fight is less than 2,000.
The kid in charge of the attack has already advanced the display to a position less than one kilometer away from the headquarters. If the main force does not launch a counterattack, maybe all of us will really die in Huai'an City and be buried with the kid outside the city.
It’s…”
"Yes, we can't drag it out like this. Otherwise, our Seventh Corps will really be wiped out in this Huai'an city. No, no matter what, I can't let the Seventh Corps be ruined by just a few of us.
In hand...Chief of Staff, please contact the headquarters immediately and report our situation. I hope the headquarters can take our situation into consideration and launch a counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops an hour in advance..." After a brief reflection, Commander Deng Hua had to admit.
The iron fact in front of me. Then, he ordered very decisively.
Hard work paid off. Less than five minutes after the telegram was sent out, a reply from the headquarters was sent to Deng Hua...
"Okay, okay, great, this time, our Seventh Corps is saved... Lao Chen and Lao Sun, the headquarters called back and agreed to our suggestion. Fifteen minutes later, based on three signal bombs, the Japanese puppets
The army launched a counterattack. Cooperate with the main forces outside the city to annihilate all the main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops in northern Jiangsu..." After reading the telegram he had just received in his hand, Commander Deng Hua's face was immediately enveloped in excitement and excitement.
said.
Before the two partners could react, Deng Hua had already returned to his usual serious look before the battle. He gave decisive orders to the combat staff who were waiting for orders in front of him.
"Commander Wang, please pass on my order. All combat troops on the frontline will launch a bombardment based on three signal flares after the rocket launcher battalion directly under the headquarters launches a counterattack against the current Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, order all civilian personnel and logistics personnel of the headquarters
The personnel all joined the counterattack and caught the enemy by surprise..."
"Yes, Commander..."
In the direction of the north gate of Huai'an City, in the rear of the Japanese offensive troops, there is a ruins less than 500 meters away from the front. A dozen soldiers in Japanese military uniforms are taking advantage of the cover of darkness, under the command of platoon leader Yan Yufa, to attack from along the way.
When you encounter the corpse of a little devil, search for weapons and ammunition that you can continue to use.
"Platoon leader, the brothers have replenished enough ammunition. We have also seized six crooked guns from the Japs. Now our platoon has almost one machine gun per person..." After several battles, we have become familiar with street fighting.
Li Yuqing, the squad leader who had picked up the realm, rushed to Yan Yufa with excitement and reported.
"Well done. Tell the brothers that we will set off immediately to find the bad luck of the little devil and avenge the brothers who died..." As he spoke, Yan Yufa picked up his crooked light machine gun and carried it with him.
More than a dozen subordinates walked toward the forward position not far away, where fierce gunfire could be heard.
Just as a group of more than ten people were dodging Japanese scouts and speeding towards the rear of the Japanese and puppet attacking troops, three sharp whistling sounds reached everyone's ears. Following closely behind, three colored flares,
Above their heads, three gorgeous fireworks bloomed...
Of course, the three signal flares did not mean anything to Yan Yu's platoon, which had been deep in the rear for several hours. After all, for the sake of confidentiality, the troops launched a strategic counterattack and prepared to annihilate all Japanese and puppet troops. Such important news could not be
A small platoon leader may be informed several hours in advance.
However, although he did not know what the three signal flares meant, Yan Yufa, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, noticed something at the first time. Without any hesitation, he waved to his subordinates behind him and quickly hid in with more than ten people.
Amidst the ruins on both sides of the street...
"Xiao Li, our army is sending out signal flares now. Something important must have happened. Take a soldier with you and go to the front to see what is going on. Remember, you must get back safely. Let's
There are only a dozen or so people left in the first row. We must not suffer any more losses..." Looking at the brightly lit battlefield not far away, illuminated by artillery fire, Yan Yufa noticed a strange look and faced
Li Yuqing beside him ordered.
"Platoon leader, don't worry. After a few days, the little devils couldn't do anything to me. This time, they can't do anything to me either..." Li Yuqing replied with confidence. However, what he didn't expect was that
, the war that was about to happen was completely beyond his expectation.
In the temporary headquarters of Huai'an City, as the signal flares took off, and under Deng Hua's orders, the rocket launcher battalion directly under the headquarters, which had not been used, immediately revealed its ferocious face.
Four rocket launcher batteries, with a total of forty rocket launchers, were divided into four directions and launched an unprecedented and almost devastating artillery attack on the Japanese and puppet attacking troops located in the forward positions.
In the direction of the north gate, a rocket launcher battery consisted of ten rocket launchers and sixty large-caliber rockets. Almost at the same time, like raindrops, they fell among nearly a thousand Japanese and puppet troops.
For a moment, the deafening explosions of artillery shells and the heart-rending screams of the Japanese and puppet troops were heard on the battlefield like a symphony. And as the smoke cleared, nearly a thousand square meters were completely covered by artillery fire.
The area, whether it was a house or a bunker, was turned into flat ground as if it had been blown by a typhoon.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops gathered in the area covered by artillery fire. In addition to corpses with missing limbs and arms everywhere, they were placed in various postures on the pitted ground.
Apart from the bursts of screams, not even a single Japanese soldier was seen standing on the ground intact. And the huge battlefield was immediately enveloped by the thick smell of blood...
And just when the Japanese and puppet troops responsible for the attack had not yet reacted to the shock in the face of the sudden and violent attack. On the position, the hundreds of soldiers who were attacked by the Japanese army were like bloodthirsty wolves.
In general, he quickly rushed out of the position and launched a swift counterattack against the dull-looking Japanese and puppet troops in front of him...
"Baga, the Chinese have begun to counterattack. Retreat, retreat quickly..."
"My, what kind of artillery fire is this? It's so powerful...Brothers, if you don't want to die, run for your lives immediately..."
"Brothers, run for your lives, the Northeast Field Army has begun a counterattack..."
"Come on, kill the Japanese..."
Desperate screams began to sound on the Japanese and puppet army positions. The hundreds of Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still looking dull, after hearing the deafening shouts of the soldiers, were like frightened rabbits.
He dropped the weapons and ammunition he could, spread his legs, and began to retreat as fast as he could.
However, at this moment, Li Yuqing, who was responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, was like a headless fly, not swaying to either side, and collided with the rapidly retreating Japanese and puppet troops.
"No, the enemy has retreated, and our main force has begun to counterattack... Hurry, separate from the enemy immediately, tell the platoon leader, and change the kid's clothes immediately. Don't die in the hands of the kid instead of your own people."
In the hands of..." Seeing the retreating Japanese and puppet troops, they did not appear to launch an attack on him. After looking at the Japanese and puppet army uniforms he was wearing. After a brief shock, Li Yuqing immediately reacted and faced the subordinates around him.
, said with a nervous look.
"Ta da da... Whoosh whoosh..." Just as Li Yuqing finished speaking, the sound of machine gun fire reached the ears of the two of them. Immediately after, the bullets streaked through the air with a "whoosh whoosh"
The sound rang in their ears. A machine gun bullet went right into Li Yuqing's shoulder...
"Squad leader, you were shot..."
"Stop talking nonsense, go quickly, separate from the enemy immediately, tell the platoon leader the news here...go..." Seeing the increasingly chaotic battlefield around him, he clearly knew that if he could not report the news to the platoon leader quickly, he would probably be killed.
, the remaining ten or so people in his platoon would be wiped out by his own people under the impact of these defeated troops. Enduring the bursts of pain from his shoulders, he pulled the soldiers behind him and rushed towards the starting point.
