Less than five minutes into the call, the confusion on the chief of staff’s face disappeared and was replaced by confidence again!
He put down the microphone and began to give orders: "The troops continue to defend based on the city wall!"
"Although the independent regiment is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition! However, no matter how much ammunition they have, they will eventually run out, and they will not replenish it after they run out. So as long as we persist, the current crisis will be resolved by itself!"
"What about the Eighth Route Army who are digging trenches outside the city?" the garrison captain continued to ask worriedly!
"Their individual bunkers have almost taken shape. The people are hiding behind the mounds to deepen the trenches. The bullets we fired cannot threaten them at all. How can we watch them dig the trenches and directly push the offensive position outside the city?
Sixty meters!”
After finishing speaking, the captain's tense nerves still did not relax, and he still looked worried!
"Order the gendarmerie to prepare for attack!" the chief of staff ordered decisively!
"Five minutes later, the gendarmerie went out, used grenades to greet the Eighth Route Army hiding in the bunker, and blew them all up!"
"The troops at the top of the city are also prepared. After the military police attack, the Eighth Route Army hiding behind the bunker will definitely show up to fight back. What everyone needs to do is to withstand the trenches being dug by the Eighth Route Army. As long as someone shows their head, shoot them immediately!"
"There are not many Eighth Route Army troops outside the city. If we shoot and attack them from a high position, we can definitely suppress them with firepower, cause them a lot of casualties, and cover the gendarmerie to get close to them!"
When the Independent Regiment attacked the position, Hong Linfeng held up his binoculars and stared at the battlefield without blinking, ready to change the attack method at any time!
Compared with the Japanese Chief of Staff, he has richer combat experience, and he also learned a lot of tactics from Li Hao!
In Li Hao's words, with his current commanding ability, he can already be the leader!
"Chief of Staff, there is movement at the city gate!" First Battalion Commander Chen Bing suddenly reminded!
"The Japanese are going to fight back and destroy our method of shortening the attack distance. God helps me!" Not only was there no worry on Hong Linfeng's face, he was very excited!
Then he ordered: "Mountain artillery and mortars, all stop shooting, adjust the target, all artillery are aimed at the city gate, wait for the Japs to come out, and give them a one-minute firepower attack. This is what the Japs are sending us."
If you don’t eat the fat that reaches your mouth, you won’t eat it for free!”
Chen Bing then added: "I asked the Third Company to prepare for a counterattack. The Japanese will come out and give them a head-on blow!"
Hong Linfeng shook his head in surprise and said in denial: "No, you can't move even in three companies!"
"Don't forget that there are still a large number of Japanese and puppet troops hiding on the city wall! They are condescendingly staring at the Third Company. As long as the Third Company emerges from the bunker, they will definitely be targeted and then killed. The gain outweighs the loss!"
"Leave the Japs out of the city to the artillery to deal with them. If there are fish that slip through the net and the artillery can't kill them, let the Third Company attack again, but they must pay attention to concealment. The Japanese and puppet troops on the city will definitely suppress them and not let them go."
Opportunity to shoot!"
On top of the city, faced with the sudden stop of bombardment, the Japanese chief of staff couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief!
He subconsciously judged: "There must be no cannonballs on Tubal Road!"
The captain of the garrison thought for a moment and replied: "From the beginning of the siege, the eight mountain guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army fired at least 300 rounds at us, and the mortars also fired nearly 300 rounds! Even if they had enough ammunition, they often fired
We can’t afford to waste it like this!”
The confident face of the chief of staff soon showed a long-lost arrogant expression, and then replied: "Since the Eighth Route Army has no artillery shells, it will be our turn to counterattack next!"
"All the troops at the top of the city are ready for battle and are targeting the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops!"
"As soon as they show their heads, shoot them with bullets and kill them!"
"Bring more grenades to the gendarmerie, rush out thirty meters and then throw them at the Eighth Route Attack troops!"
"Bunkers and mounds of dirt can stop bullets, but they can't stop grenades falling from the sky!"
"There are more than a hundred military policemen. Each person has four grenades, which adds up to nearly 500 grenades. If they hit the Eighth Route Army together, even if they can't blow them all up, they can still kill them almost!"
"Military police attack!"
More than a hundred Japs, holding guns in one hand and grenades in the other, roared out of the city gate like a flood that burst a dam!
Then they quickly dispersed, forming a skirmish line at the city gate and rushing toward the trenches that were being deepened and widened sixty meters away!
On top of the city, the puppet troops have been waiting for them for nearly three hundred days!
All the light and heavy machine guns were set up at the crenels, and the black muzzles pointed directly at the trenches outside the city!
The machine gunner holds the handle of the machine gun tightly, staring at the shooting target with a serious face, ready to fire at any time!
The rifleman squatted half-crouched behind the battlement, holding the rifle in his hand. The barrel of the gun extended from the shooting hole, aiming towards the trench, searching for the shooting target!
The enemy and ourselves are at war with each other, and a firefight could begin at any time!
The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff also stared at the trenches that were still being dug out, unblinking, wanting to witness them being killed by the attack troops and the city head troops jointly!
To his disappointment, the gendarmerie had already rushed out halfway, and no one from the Eighth Route Army hiding in the bunker had shown up yet!
"Sir, these Eighth Route Army troops are really able to keep their composure and don't fight back at this time!" The captain of the garrison next to him seemed to have seen the victory before waving to him, sighing with a smile on his lips!
The chief of staff responded arrogantly: "Whether they show their faces or not, they will lose this battle and will definitely be killed by us!"
"Don't worry, as long as the gendarmerie rushes forward another thirty meters, the grenades will rain down on the heads of the Eighth Route Army, and they will be finished by then!"
"Woooooooo..."
Tonight the scream that the Chief of Staff hates to hear sounded again!
A bad premonition quickly came to mind!
Before anyone could react from the shock, the explosion sounded!
The arrogant expression on his face disappeared on the spot, and then turned into a frightened expression, and he shouted in despair!
"Impossible, how come the Eighth Route Army still has artillery shells!"
"Why did they blow up the attacking troops, not the city walls?"
In order to be more conducive to defending the city, all obstacles within two to three hundred meters outside the city were cleared away, so as soon as the Japanese soldiers left the city, they were all exposed on the flat ground, without even a hiding place!
A total of eleven artillery shells fell from the sky and hit the city gate. The flying fragments directly intertwined a steel storm at the city gate, harvesting the lives of the surrounding little devils!
By the time the chief of staff recovered from the shock, there were corpses lying on the ground at the gate of the city!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They directly shelled our attacking troops. In this way, our plans were completely disrupted by them!" the captain of the garrison reminded with a heartbroken look!
Seeing that the chief of staff was sullen and silent, the captain continued to shout: "We have no artillery to counterattack, so the attacking troops can only be passively bombed. There is also flat ground outside the city, and there is no place to hide. Moreover, the troops gathered at the gate of the city, forcibly
Even if someone rushes through the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire to intercept them, there won't be many left!"
"There is also the Eighth Route Army outside the city. They are covered by artillery fire and will definitely not show up. In this way, our troops guarding the city will be useless. We can only watch the attacking troops being bombed."
"Chief of Staff, I suggest that the attacking troops withdraw immediately and not rush out any further!"
"Retreat..." the chief of staff shouted with an aggrieved look!
Tonight was definitely the most frustrating night in his life!
Because there are no cannons, facing the Eighth Route Army with a large number of artillery, they can only be beaten passively. One after another carefully prepared strategies are shattered because of the superior artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army!
