The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the brigade commander's request for help telegram was like a big stone thrown into the water, it directly caused an uproar!
The military commander who had just fallen asleep was shocked!
This winter sweep was initiated by myself, and so far the results are good!
If bad news suddenly breaks out at this time, and a major general brigade commander of the Imperial Army is killed during a raid, then the raid results that the army has achieved will immediately be wiped out because of this defeat, and it may even suffer a disaster.
To the front army’s accountability!
A major general is already a senior general in the imperial army. On the Chinese battlefield, there are only a handful of generals who have been directly killed by the Chinese army!
If an incident occurs under one's own hands, it will definitely be regarded as a major failure in one's military career!
He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Immediately follow the requirements in the telegram. Contact the aviation force now. As soon as the conditions for takeoff are mature, planes will be dispatched to reinforce Lingqiu City!"
"Didn't the aviation force lose a fighter plane outside Lingqiu City yesterday, and everyone was clamoring for revenge? Now is the opportunity!"
"Tell them not to think about saving fuel and aerial bombs. I want them to work closely with the mixed brigade to completely kill the independent group!"
"The Imperial Army has lost too many troops to this Independent Regiment. I want all its troops to be destroyed and buried underground with the Imperial Army who died in battle. I don't want to hear any more bad news about the Independent Regiment!"
"Hi! I'm going to make arrangements now!" the chief of staff replied quickly!
But he did not leave immediately, and reminded cautiously: "Sir, in addition to the aviation force, should we add a few more troops to reinforce Lingqiu and form a direct encirclement of Lingqiu City!"
"In case Lingqiu City fails to hold on and is captured by this independent group, we must have enough troops to surround them so that they have no way to escape, and then kill them to avenge the imperial army who died in the battle!"
The army commander thought for a moment and refused: "There are three infantry brigades in Lingqiu City, so there should be no problem in encircling an independent regiment!"
"Moreover, deploying troops from other places to reinforce Lingqiu will inevitably affect the raids in these places, and the gains outweigh the losses!"
The chief of staff still did not accept the order and left, and continued to remind: "Sir, don't forget. In addition to a major general brigade commander, there is also a brigade chief of staff in Lingqiu City!"
It was only then that the army commander understood what the chief of staff meant, and he suddenly reacted!
A look of solemnity quickly flashed across his serious face!
Compared with a major general brigade commander who has little backing, the chief of staff of the brigade who has a lot of power behind him is obviously more scrupulous to him!
He immediately asked: "Is there any news about him in the telegram? He must not die, otherwise I, the lieutenant general, will be suppressed by the forces behind him!"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "It was not mentioned!"
"But he is the chief of staff of the brigade, so he must be with the brigade commander!"
"Order!"
The military commander breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and began to make a decision!
"Call back to Lingqiu City immediately and ask them to ensure their own safety. No matter they are the brigade commander or chief of staff, they must not die!"
"You must hold on until the reinforcements arrive. If it doesn't work, you can abandon the city defenses and fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army in the city until dawn!"
"In addition, the military headquarters will dispatch two reinforcement brigades to march from Laiyuan and the northwest direction of Lingqiu to reinforce Lingqiu, forming an encirclement of the independent regiment attacking Lingqiu. The main force of the independent regiment must be completely annihilated in Lingqiu City!
"
"Chief of Staff, please arrange the specific troops to be deployed to reinforce Lingqiu. The sooner the better!"
Outside Lingqiu City, the shelling continues!
Li Hao held up the telescope and stared at the city head as always!
On the surface, Li Hao seems to have done nothing, but his mind is not idle!
Judging from the grenades thrown out one after another from the inside of the city, how many Japanese and puppet troops are still on top of the city!
"Boom boom boom..."
After another round of mountain cannon shells hit the city and exploded, Li Hao finally spoke!
"Continue to fire mortars and concentrate your fire on the city head!"
"The mountain cannon battalion brought out two mountain cannons, approached the city gate, and blasted open the city gate for me!"
"The attacking troops are ready for an assault. Once the city gate is destroyed, rush in immediately!"
"The commando team and the reconnaissance company will follow the attacking troops into the city. Through detours, they will seize the Japanese brigade headquarters, ammunition depot, and material warehouse as soon as possible. Kill the brigade commander and prevent the little Japanese from jumping over the wall!"
"After taking these targets, continue the action, cooperate with the main force entering the city, quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, and completely occupy Lingqiu City!"
The two mountain cannons were quickly dismantled into parts, and several artillerymen carried them into the offensive position!
"Set up the artillery here!" Yuan Qingfeng, the artillery battalion commander, pointed at two points and ordered!
Less than three minutes later, two mountain cannons stood in front of Li Hao, with their muzzles forward, pointing directly at the city gate!
"Load and fire..."
Yuan Qingfeng shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes widened as he stared at the city gate without blinking!
"Boom boom..."
An explosion soon sounded in the city gate, and two fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke instantly shot up!
"Hit the target, continue loading, fire, and blast the city gate directly!" Yuan Qingfeng shouted excitedly!
After three cannons and six shells hit, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the dark city gate!
The closed gate has been blown to pieces, leaving only some frames connected to the city gate hole!
Behind the city gate, there were several scattered corpses. It must have been that the Japanese guarding behind the city gate were killed by two mountain cannons!
"Comrades, fight with me, rush into the city, and capture Lingqiu City!"
Dozens of warriors more than ten meters away from the city jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the city gate like hungry wolves!
Two soldiers rushed to the front, holding light machine guns in their arms, charging forward while firing towards the city gate!
"The commando team, the reconnaissance company, and the follow-up offensive troops, set off now and charge into Lingqiu City!" Li Hao ordered while keeping a close eye on the battlefield.
"The artillery continues to fire, concentrate the artillery fire on me to blast the city gate tower, prevent the Japanese from getting close to the city gate tower, and cover the troops to enter Lingqiu City. As long as we enter the city, we will win!"
On the top of the city, the captain of the Japanese guard squadron was already in despair. Facing the Eighth Route Army rushing toward the city gate like hungry wolves, and looking at the few subordinates left around him, he was helpless!
Some Japanese were unwilling to give in and shouted: "Reinforce the city tower and throw grenades at the city gate to block the Eighth Route Army's attack!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Before he finished speaking, an explosion sounded from the city gate tower!
Mountain artillery shells and mortar shells, at least six, hit the city gate tower at the same time!
The city gate tower, which was bombed into ruins last night, once again received a baptism of artillery fire!
In the explosion, the few soldiers in the ruins were directly dealt a devastating blow!
Several soldiers who had just rushed to the city gate tower were also affected and knocked over by the explosion, forcefully forcing the Japanese behind them back!
