At the Japanese brigade headquarters, the rapid ringing of the phone instantly attracted everyone's attention, including the major general brigade commander!
The acting chief of staff quickly picked up the phone and his face became serious within half a minute of listening!
"General, something happened in the south of the city!"
"Our opponent, the Independent Regiment, is so cunning that they actually use grenades as artillery!"
"They assembled at least thirty grenade launchers in the south of the city, used infantry to force all our defenders onto the city wall, and then used the grenade launchers to launch grenades at the top of the city!"
"There are too many grenades. Even though the power of the grenades is limited, we still suffered heavy losses!"
The commander of the Major General's brigade raised his eyebrows and cursed loudly: "Bagh Yalu, I didn't expect that despite all our calculations, we finally miscalculated!"
"Tell me, how many people did the defenders in the south of the city lose just now, and how many people are left to continue fighting?"
"More than seventy people were lost, more than half of them were direct casualties!" the deputy chief of staff hesitated before answering, then added!
"They also reported that the Eighth Route Army that attacked them was equipped with at least five heavy machine guns and 15 light machine guns, and the number of machine guns was more than three times theirs! When the Eighth Route Army attacked, the light and heavy machine guns they set up on the top of the city almost collapsed at the first touch and were crushed.
We have to fight to the death, there is no chance to fight back!"
"From my humble judgment, the main attack direction of the Independent Regiment must be at the south gate of Lingqiu!"
The commander of the major general brigade frowned and fell into deep thought, and did not answer immediately.
He is a veteran on the battlefield and has rich combat experience. This problem is not difficult for him!
In less than a minute, a bit of murderous aura emanated from his body, and then he raised his eyebrows and began to give orders: "Move up the reserve team and go to the south gate!"
"Since the independent regiment chose the south gate as their main attack direction, then we will turn the south gate into their burial place!"
"The Eighth Route Army has grenades, and so do we!"
"And we still have the city head to defend, and we use grenade launchers to counterattack from a high position. Both the range and the hit rate are higher than the Eighth Route Army outside the city!"
"Immediately take out all the remaining grenades from the ammunition depot and equip the reserve team!"
"As long as the reserve team and the defenders in the south of the city are equipped with twenty grenade launchers, with the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, they can definitely overwhelm the grenade launchers of the Eighth Route Army and kill them!"
"As long as they destroy the grenade troops of the Independent Regiment, they will lose their long-range attack capabilities and can only attack Lingqiu City!"
"We have grenades. No matter how many light and heavy machine guns the Eighth Route Army has, they won't be enough for us to explode!"
"Without the light and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover, and without the grenade launchers, the independent regiment's storming will only lead to death. We will kill as many as they come, and completely turn the south of the city into their tomb!"
The deputy chief of staff's eyes lit up and he replied: "The general is wise, I have to arrange my humble position now!"
Outside Lingqiu City, Li Hao was guarding the offensive position, holding a telescope and staring at the city head without blinking!
It has been twenty minutes since the first round of attack ended, and the regiment commander has not issued an order to continue the attack!
Watching the time passing by, Hong Linfeng was anxious in his eyes and couldn't help but remind him: "Captain, can the second round of attack begin?"
"The offensive troops and grenade troops are all ready, just waiting for your order!"
"In the battle just now, we must have killed dozens of Japanese and puppet troops. As long as we repeat the attack just now, we will wipe out all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops at the top of the city!"
"At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and rush into Lingqiu City and capture it!"
Li Hao finally made some noise and replied seriously: "It's almost time to start attacking!"
"But this time we have to play differently!"
"The attack just now was just a small test for us. We used grenade launchers to kill a large number of defenders on the city wall and force out the Japs reserve team!"
"The Japs have always had the habit of keeping a reserve force when fighting. Only by forcing them to the top of the city and killing them with cannons will the Japs have no one left in the city!"
"As long as we take the city head, it is equivalent to taking Lingqiu City. It is difficult for any accidents to happen in the middle!"
Hong Linfeng looked suddenly enlightened and shouted: "I understand, the reason why you waited so long without attacking, Captain, is because you were waiting for the Japanese reserve team to come to the battlefield!"
Li Hao nodded and replied: "Yes, I just discovered that a large number of Japs have appeared at the top of the city. As expected, they should be the Japs' reserve team left in the city!"
"Wait a few more minutes. If the reserve team is really coming up, the commando team should have news coming soon!"
"At that time, we will strive for an attack to severely damage them, and then continue our efforts to advance into Lingqiu City without giving the Japanese and puppet troops time to mobilize troops or react!"
On a small highland 800 meters away from the City Wall University, several members of the commando team with the best eyesight were all climbing on the trees on the high ground, holding telescopes and staring at the Lingqiu City Wall motionless!
They were so condescending that every move of the Japanese and puppet troops on top of the city could not escape their eyes!
Less than two minutes after Li Hao finished speaking, a sound of horse hooves sounded behind him!
After another minute, Xiao Yuan's figure appeared in the traffic ditch, rushing towards him at a fast pace!
"Reporting to the captain, there are more people on the city top. They are all little Japs. They also brought a large number of grenades and set them up directly on the open space on the city head!"
"We judge that the Japs have transferred the reserve team here."
Li Hao snorted coldly and replied: "The little devil wants to retaliate with his own way and hit us with a grenade!"
"But when they encounter our independent group today, they are unlucky. This dream is destined to be shattered by us!"
"Order, commandos, and reconnaissance companies to assemble here immediately!"
"They are equipped with a large number of pistols and submachine guns, which are suitable for close combat and street fighting. Once the troops enter Lingqiu City, the two troops will immediately enter the city and cooperate with the main force to quickly kill the remaining enemies in the city. Especially the commander of the Major General Xiaoguizi Brigade, he must not be allowed to
Run away. Then completely occupy Lingqiu City, seal up all shops, warehouses, ammunition depots, and other military facilities controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, and count the seizures!"
"This is the first county town our independent regiment has captured since its formation. We must not return empty-handed after spending so much effort to capture it!"
"Mountain Artillery Battalion, each battalion and company is directly under the mortar platoon, all artillery is aimed at the city head, prepare the shells, and be ready for bombardment at any time!"
"Chief of Staff, now send signals to the feint attack troops in the other three directions of Lingqiu. The troops can start to attack. At all costs, the Japanese and puppet troops who are attacking are dragged to the top of the city. They cannot be allowed to enter the city to reinforce the south gate!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Three flares took off and exploded at the same time!
In less than a minute, gunshots like exploding beans were heard from the other three directions of Lingqiu, and there were also a lot of explosions of artillery shells!
"Commander, the feint attack force has started to take action, can we start fighting too!" the chief of staff asked anxiously!
"Infantry begins to attack, artillery and grenadiers, follow my orders and fire again. I want an attack to completely crush the little devil's dream and severely damage the reserve force that they have high hopes for!"
Hong Linfeng answered expectantly: "I'm going to give the order now!"
On top of the city, the captain of the Japanese Guard took over the command, a well-deserved elite in all battles!
Seeing more than twenty light and heavy machine guns suddenly appearing in the offensive position, although I was in a daze, I reacted quickly and gave the order with a serious expression.
"Pull out five grenade launchers to disperse and counterattack, and knock out the offensive firepower outside the city in the shortest possible time!"
"Our light and heavy machine guns also need to fire, but we must pay attention to concealment and constantly move the machine gun firing position! As long as the independent regiment's offensive firepower and grenade units are knocked out, they can shoot the Eighth Route Army offensive troops on the battlefield without any scruples!
"
The Japanese army's grenade fire was very accurate, and casualties began to appear as soon as they fired at the independent regiment!
Li Hao's face suddenly became ugly, and he made a quick judgment: "The Japanese who climbed up the city wall just now must be their reserve team, and the commander has also changed. It is completely opposite to the fighting style just now, and he actually has the courage to take the initiative to fight back.
!”
"Since they want to die so much, then I will help them,"
"Chief of Staff, you immediately come out with ten grenade launchers to counterattack!"
"Tell them that the grenade launchers must be dispersed and deployed. Every time two grenades are fired, a launching position will be moved to force out all the remaining grenade launchers on the city top!"
