After one night, my lack of combat experience has been fully exposed!
Although the chief of staff is arrogant and arrogant, he has already recognized his shortcomings in his heart!
The captain of the garrison in front of him, although his military rank is not as high as his own, he has climbed up step by step from the bottom relying on his military exploits, and his actual combat experience is definitely richer than his own!
Now that he has this concern, there is at least an 80% chance that this judgment will become reality!
The Eighth Route Army that attacked them ran away at dawn. After dark, they came back and continued to attack Lingqiu City. Although this coincided with the plan made by the brigade leader at the beginning, the main force of the independent regiment was consumed through defensive battles!
However, the brigade commander obviously missed a very crucial thing, that is, artillery!
If both sides have no artillery, the brigade commander's plan will definitely be perfect!
The Eighth Route Army ran away after dawn, and fought back after dark. Anyway, relying only on light reinforcements, even if the independent regiment had ten times the strength advantage, it would not be able to threaten Lingqiu City!
However, the addition of artillery made the entire plan too uncertain!
The Eighth Route Army has artillery, and also has many powerful mountain cannons. The only three mortars of the city defenders are not enough in front of them. This means that no matter how this city defense battle is fought, the troops will always be at the mercy of the Eighth Route Army.
Under the pressure of artillery fire!
The defensive battle tonight has confirmed the existence of this variable!
In just one night, the independent regiment used artillery fire to kill more than 400 defenders, and also advanced the offensive position to more than 40 meters outside the city!
If the independent regiment comes back tonight and continues to attack Lingqiu City using the same method, and the defenders lose more than 400 people, then Lingqiu City's originally large number of defenders will immediately become nervous.
At that time, not only will it be impossible to continue to implement the brigade commander's plan, but a large number of the main forces of the independent regiment will be consumed through defensive battles. It may also put Lingqiu City and the entire brigade headquarters into crisis!
The chief of staff frowned more and more, then turned his attention to the captain of the garrison, stared at him and asked!
"If you have any ideas, just say it, don't hesitate!"
"Hi!" the captain replied quickly!
"My humble suggestion is to send out scouts immediately to follow the retreating independent regiment and find their hiding place during the day!"
"When daybreak, our planes arrive at the battlefield and direct the planes to bomb the hiding place of the Independence Regiment!"
"In addition, we can also send troops to take the initiative and, under the cover of aircraft, try to eliminate as many Eighth Route Army troops hiding around the county town to reduce the pressure on the city defense at night!"
"We have planes covering our heads during the day. As long as we don't divide our forces and try to avoid small roads and take the main roads where we can get air support, there will definitely be no problem with safety!"
The chief of staff's mind was still a mess just now, but a very clear idea suddenly emerged!
His eyes lit up and he analyzed: "Deploy elite scouts out of the city, follow the independent regiment, and find their hiding place!"
"After daybreak, four to five hundred elites were drawn from the city. Under the cover of aircraft, they went straight to the hiding place of the Independent Regiment. First, the aircraft carried out a covering bombing, and then the troops moved up to harvest the remaining enemies! Even if the main force of the Independent Regiment could not be killed, one
There will definitely be no problem in inflicting heavy damage on them!"
"Even if the remaining Eighth Route Army comes back at night, we won't be afraid anymore!"
"Continue to implement the brigade commander's battle plan to consume the independent regiment, drag them to Lingqiu City, and wait for the frontline mopping up troops to complete their mission and come back to annihilate them!"
"This is a very good idea, I totally agree!"
The captain thought for a moment and added: "Sir, after our scouts are dispatched, they should focus on looking for the artillery unit of the independent regiment!"
"They have eight mountain cannons, which are the heavy weapons that pose the greatest threat to us! As long as they can kill their artillery, even if they don't kill an independent infantry regiment during the day, we will be very safe at night!"
"very good!"
The chief of staff's frown slowly relaxed and he answered immediately!
"I'm going to call the brigade commander to report now! Arrange the scouts immediately and wait for my order!"
Less than five minutes into the call, the chief of staff put down the phone, a smile slowly appeared on his relaxed face, and then ordered!
"The brigade commander has agreed to our plan!"
"Immediately release the scouts you just prepared and let them keep an eye on the retreating independent regiment!"
"The third squadron of the garrison, the third company of the Imperial Association Army, and the special agent team, assemble immediately!"
"After the plane to reinforce us arrives, I will personally lead the team to fight out of Lingqiu City!"
"In addition, in order to strengthen the firepower of the attack force, a heavy machine gun squad will be drawn to supplement the attack force. The guard team I brought will also attack together!"
Outside Lingqiu City, the main force of the independent regiment was retreating in an orderly manner under the command of Li Hao.
Li Hao is very confident in his plan and is determined to win!
But Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng didn't seem so confident. He walked beside Li Hao with a worried expression!
Just as he was about to speak, a squad leader from the reconnaissance company rushed over: "The regiment commander, the chief of staff, Captain Xiao and our company commander asked me to report: the fish has been baited, more than 20 little devils have just come out of Lingqiu City, look at them
All the moves are made by veterans and elites!”
"good!"
Li Hao was more confident than before and spoke with more confidence. He directly ordered with a smile: "Tell you company commander and captain Xiao that we can start taking action!"
"But there must not be a random fight. Kill all the Japs who deserve to be killed, and none of the Japs who shouldn't be killed. I still hope they will bring more Japs out for me!"
Hong Linfeng's inner worries were reduced a lot at this time, and he immediately said: "Captain, if the enemy comes out of the city, it proves that we can lure the enemy out of the city!"
"Just now I was worried that the little devil wouldn't be fooled and would defend Lingqiu City and not come out!"
"Now it seems that what you just said was right. The little devil still has no long memory and is still as arrogant as ever. He once again made the fatal mistake of underestimating the enemy!"
"I think that after having airplanes, my troops will be invincible. I completely forgot that airplanes sometimes lose their effectiveness on the battlefield!
"I'm going to go to the first battalion now to see if the artillery battalion they prepared for the Japanese is ready!"
"The little Japs in the city must hate our artillery battalion to the core right now. As long as they show up, the Japs will definitely pounce on us like crazy under the cover of the plane. There must be no problem with such a good bait!"
Li Hao searched the entire regiment and found eight soldiers who knew how to be carpenters. They took action and finally made eight wooden mountain cannons before dawn!
The mules and horses were pulled with various camouflage on them, and escorted by a battalion of nearly three hundred soldiers, they retreated along the road in a mighty direction away from Lingqiu City!
A group of three little Japanese scouts quickly found the ruts left by the mountain artillery when they retreated when the commando team deliberately released the water!
"Yo Xi, this must be left by the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery unit. If we follow the mountain artillery unit, we will definitely be able to find them!" Captain Cao, the leader of the team, shouted excitedly!
Then he ordered with a serious face: "There must be heavy protection from the Eighth Route Army around the mountain artillery, and there may also be rear troops, so we must be cautious. No one can die before we find the hiding place of their mountain artillery unit. Start taking action now!"
