A crooked gun mounted on the roof of the turret fired quickly, and the bullets flew out of the barrel and flew around like no money.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is attacking us outside the stronghold!" the second lieutenant rushed into the captain's room and reported.
When gunfire rang out, the captain of the Anji Town stronghold garrison was awakened. He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Go to the gun tower!"
"Order all troops to enter the gun towers and bunkers and prepare for battle!"
As soon as the captain climbed up to the gun tower, Captain Cao, who was guarding the top of the gun tower, hurriedly reported: "Sir, there is at least one company of the Eighth Route Army outside attacking us. They have been blocked by machine guns two hundred meters away. They are digging trenches there.
!”
"Da da da……"
As soon as the captain stuck his head out from the crenel of the turret, a string of bullets flew over with great force. They hit the outer wall of the turret, causing sparks and gravel to fly everywhere!
"Sir, be careful..."
Captain Cao shouted with a look of shock on his face, and subconsciously pulled the captain back.
The captain was unscathed, but his face had turned pale, and he shouted out loud: "It's a heavy machine gun. The Eighth Route Army outside has a heavy machine gun!"
"Shoot the grenades now and destroy them!"
"Hi!"
The second lieutenant next to him immediately took the order!
"Boom boom~"
Before anyone could move, two explosions sounded inside the stronghold.
The captain took a quick glance and saw that there were seven or eight people exploded around the impact point, including Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army. Some people fell to the ground and squirmed, letting out bursts of heart-rending screams.
"It's a mortar. The Eighth Route Army actually has a mortar!" the second lieutenant shouted.
The captain was already panicking. The strength of the Eighth Route Army was now revealed far beyond his imagination.
In the case of heavy machine guns and mortars, as long as the opponent's combat effectiveness is still good and there is enough time, the stronghold can definitely be captured.
Therefore, the hope of holding the stronghold based solely on the strength of the garrison itself is very slim.
The captain forced himself to calm down: "Everyone must enter the stronghold and gun towers. The mortars are powerful, but they cannot destroy our gun towers and bunkers!"
"Also, connect to the county seat immediately. We are attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The opponent is equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns. The firepower is very powerful. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
In Lingqiu City, the highest-level military meeting of the garrison was underway.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe sat at the head of the conference table.
The puppet army commander Zhou Yunian and the special agent captain Tian Chengzhi were the only two Chinese people sitting on one side of the conference room.
There were seven little Japanese officers sitting on the other side, all of them captains and squadron captains!
After the deputy captain introduced all the situations marked by Tian Chengzhi on the map, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe stood up directly from his seat.
"Everyone, I have decided to send troops to attack this independent battalion immediately!"
"They expanded their troops to 1,500 men under the eyes of the imperial army. Once the troops form combat effectiveness, the Independent Battalion will definitely become a very powerful opponent and a serious problem for the imperial army in Lingqiu."
"If the imperial army wants to kill them again, it will not only be difficult, but it will also have to pay a very heavy price!"
"So I decided to send out troops at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to attack the Independence Battalion!"
"Pa bang bang..."
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe, a flash of anger subconsciously appeared on his face, and he looked at the door of the conference room.
"Report sir, something happened..."
The second lieutenant who rushed into the conference room reported hurriedly without waiting for Watanabe to speak.
"The stronghold in Anji Town called to report: They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army was equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns. The pressure on the garrison was very high. There were many casualties. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe couldn't sit still and stood up from his seat.
There are not many troops left in hand. Although the more than 60 imperial troops in the stronghold of Anji Town are not many, they are particularly important to Lingqiu now.
More importantly, Anji Zhenhe guards the only way from Lingqiu to Laiyuan.
With the Anji Town stronghold, it can at least ensure the safety of more than ten kilometers of roads near Anji Town, so the Anji Town stronghold must not be lost!
After thinking about all this, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe quickly left his seat and walked to the map hanging on the wall.
"Sir, the Anji Town stronghold is right here!" the deputy captain pointed to a point on the map and introduced.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe frowned and just glanced at the map before making a decision: "The Anji Town stronghold must not be lost!"
Then he turned his attention to the second lieutenant: "Is there any other news? In addition to being equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, the Eighth Route Army that attacked them has reported other information, such as how many troops the Eighth Route Army has!"
The second lieutenant shook his head and replied: "No, the call was disconnected within less than two minutes!"
"When we called back, we could no longer contact the Anji Town stronghold!"
"In my humble opinion, our telephone line connecting the stronghold in Anji Town was cut off by the Eighth Route Army!"
"It must be so!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe affirmed.
"Anji Town is 16 kilometers away from the county seat. It takes three hours to march on foot. It's too long!"
"The Eighth Route Army has mortars and heavy machine guns, and there are only more than 60 garrison troops. Even if they defend, they won't be able to hold on for too long!"
"Sir..."
The captain of the cavalry squadron stood up.
"I am willing to lead the cavalry squadron to reinforce the Anji Town stronghold!"
"I just looked at the map. The one kilometer area around the stronghold is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry assaults!"
The deputy captain hesitated and reminded: "You can also dispatch an infantry squadron to follow up in a car!"
"Sixteen kilometers can be reached in half an hour for cavalry and cars!"
"Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is very good, we have built a lot of gun towers and bunkers at the stronghold of Anji Town. We have complete defenses. We will definitely have no problem relying on the fortifications to hold on for half an hour!"
"Let's do it!" Lieutenant Commander Watanabe no longer hesitated and made a decisive decision.
"The cavalry squadron and the first infantry squadron set out in cars immediately to march quickly to reinforce the Anji Town stronghold!"
The adjutant hesitated and asked: "Sir, do we want to continue our military meeting, and do we want to attack the Independence Camp tomorrow?"
"How to attack?" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe retorted angrily.
A carefully planned attack was disrupted by a sudden attack before it even started. Everyone will get angry, and Lieutenant Commander Watanabe was no exception.
After thinking for a moment, he added: "The special agent team takes action immediately. We must find out what kind of force the Eighth Route Army is attacking the stronghold in Anji Town!"
"There are too many new recruits in the Independent Battalion, so it is logically impossible for them to take the initiative to attack us!"
"If other Eighth Route Army troops also enter Lingqiu, then this independent battalion will have an extra foreign aid, and the situation in Lingqiu will become more complicated. We must send troops carefully!"
