The trap laid by the Japanese commander Major Qingchuan was no longer effective. The Qingyuan Squadron that was ambushing them was completely wiped out by hundreds of grenades.
When Major Qingchuan received the description from the returned Makino Kanan, his dark face twisted into an iron-blue color, and his knuckles turned white when he pinched them.
"Order all ministries to fight to the death from house to house, and order the security brigade to quickly end the search mission and return to Gaoyou to aid!"
"At the same time, request reinforcements from the Jiang Defense Team in Gaoyou Lake!"
Major Qingchuan stared fiercely at the firefight area where explosions kept coming out, filled with murderous intent.
Since his plan to attract the guerrilla forces that broke into the city into an ambush circle and eliminate them together failed, he immediately changed his plan, which was to stick to the guerrillas and summon peripheral troops to counter-encirclement.
It has to be said that the Japanese commander Qingchuan Qingchuan is rich in combat experience and flexible. Under such a vicious plan, if Yang Ling and others cannot escape quickly, they will be in danger of annihilation.
Relying on the intricate streets in Gaoyou City to engage in street fighting and delaying the offensive pace of the guerrilla troops, although the city will be beaten to pieces, the Japanese commander Major Qingchuan no longer cares so much.
Even if the outside reinforcements cannot arrive by then, it will be of little use if Gaoyou City is reduced to rubble and the guerrillas get a dilapidated city.
"Makino-kun, I have to ask you to do me a favor." The Japanese commander watched the messenger go out and turned his head to the returning Makino Kanan.
Makino Kanan took the Skeleton Special Forces out for a trip. At this moment, the smoke and blood stains all over his body, coupled with his sharp eyes, showed murderous intent.
"It doesn't matter, Aokawa-kun." Makino Kanan looked at his classmate, who also graduated from Army University, and forced out a smile.
Major Qingchuan smiled awkwardly: "Our troops in the city just fought a bloody battle with the guerrillas a few days ago, and the additional troops have not yet arrived. Now the troops are stretched thin. Do you think you can stay to help defend...
"
"Of course, I know that it is very impolite to ask you to stay in a dangerous place now, but I really have no troops available now." Major Qingchuan looked at Makino Kanan's brows and hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "I promise that as long as
When the security brigade troops return to support you, you can go and stay on your own, and I will report the situation to the headquarters and ask for credit for you."
Makino Kanan really did not want to participate in the battle in the city. He had already thought of leaving with the Skeleton Special Forces. After all, it was a matter of common sense that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.
But now faced with the words of his classmate and friend, he thought for a moment and nodded and agreed: "Why should Qingchuan-kun be so polite? As Imperial people, we have a common enemy. It is an honor to fight side by side with you.
."
"That's great." Seeing Makino Kanan agreeing, Major Qingchuan's face was full of excitement.
He had no doubts about the combat capabilities of this fierce special forces team. As long as they stayed, they would be worth two squadrons.
Of course, the happy Major Aokawa didn't know that Makino Kanan had already made a decision in his heart, although he could stay with his troops to help defend.
But once the situation is out of control or the defenders are destined to fail, he will not hesitate to take his men off the battlefield and leave on their own. As for the life and death of the conventional troops, it depends on their luck.
"So, what do I need to do now?" Makino Kanan asked.
Major Qingchuan walked to the city map spread on the table and said: "Then please ask Makino-kun and the officers and soldiers of the Skeleton Special Forces to go to the middle section of Bipa Street to help defend. Please."
After Makino Kanan carefully looked at the terrain near Biwa Street, he nodded and quickly walked out of the house with sonorous and powerful steps.
The Japs' frontline troops soon received orders to engage in street fighting. The Japs' troops who were trying to lead the guerrillas into an ambush circle quickly moved into the houses on both sides of the street and resisted house by house.
Bullets continued to shoot from the windows, roofs and walls of some houses, and the casualties of the steadily advancing guerrillas increased suddenly.
The previous Japanese troops were ordered to resist at all levels, relying on simple barricades. They could be destroyed with just a few grenades from a grenade.
But now the Japanese are hiding in dark houses, and they attack the attacking guerrilla troops without any trace, hindering the offensive of the companies operating at the front.
"Sir, the little devils have sneaked into various courtyards and houses. They want to fight with us in the streets..."
The changes in the battlefield situation were quickly known to Yang Ling. He did not expect that the Japanese changed so quickly.
As soon as they put an end to the insidious ambush plan of the little Japs, the Japs turned to street fighting and fought with the Japs in the streets. Yang Ling and the others would always suffer.
Because the individual combat quality and combat team combat capabilities of the guerrilla officers and soldiers are not as good as the strength of the little devils of the same size.
Now that the Japs have dispersed into the streets and houses, the disadvantages of the guerrilla officers and soldiers have been quickly exposed. Their ability to coordinate operations is not as good as that of the Japs.
"The Japs are going to be like rats hiding in the dark now. Let's stop hiding and tuck them in. Bring up the infantry artillery from the machine gun company and blast them. Let's see if the wall is strong or the shells are more powerful!" said Operations Staff Officer Liu Shengpo.
The jar hit the Eight Immortals table with a fist like a smash, causing the lantern to shake.
In this dimly lit temporary headquarters, which is less than 200 meters away from the battle area, within the range of the artillery shells, every explosion will shake and cause dust to fall.
But the little devil would not have realized that Yang Ling would take such a risk by moving the commander to such a forward position.
Hearing that operational staff officer Liu Sheng asked the cannons from the machine gun battery to be brought up for bombardment, staff officer Lei Xiong frowned and shook his head: "There are too many civilians in the city, and they will be accidentally injured."
"If you don't control the troops, there will be casualties in the war. Although we may accidentally bomb the people with artillery, it is better than our brothers risking their lives!"
Liu Sheng's tough face was full of indifference: "I have to say something that shouldn't be heard. A few casualties among the people will not destroy the country, but if all of us soldiers die, then the nation will really be destroyed!"
Although the words of operational staff officer Liu Sheng were reasonable, the staff officers and signal soldiers in the room all looked solemn. Although his words were reasonable, they really couldn't bear to attack their own people.
In fact, they also know that whether it was Tang Shengzhi, the city defense commander who left hundreds of thousands of people fleeing in Nanjing, or the man who ordered the bombing of the Huayuankou of the Yellow River in order to stop the Japanese pursuers, which eventually led to the death of millions of people in more than 40 counties and districts.
The drowned commanders all have such thoughts.
What they care about is the soldiers, not the people. As long as they keep the soldiers fighting, they don't take the casualties of the people at all. That's why they abandon them again and again, and they lose the people's hearts again and again, because they have been since the beginning.
Just did it wrong.
Because they have ignored the fact that the troops under their command are all produced from the common people, and they have abandoned the common people countless times, regardless of their life and death, and in the end they will only be abandoned.
