Thousands of people have all left the city overnight, and Lingqiu City looks particularly deserted after dawn!
Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng stood on the top of the city, looking down at the entire county!
He wants to have a panoramic view of the entire Lingqiu City, and remember every street and alley in his mind!
As the top commander of Lingqiu City, only by doing this can he be able to handle the next defensive battle with ease and remain calm!
Suddenly, Chen Bing, commander of the first battalion, ran over panting and reported: "Chief of Staff, the situation of the troops has been calculated!"
"Including the third battalion that just entered the city, we have three main battalions and a reconnaissance company!"
"The total strength before the war was nearly 1,900, but now there are less than 1,100 left!"
"In addition, we also captured more than 230 puppet troops in the city. The third battalion also brought back nearly 300 prisoners when they entered the city. There are almost 500 people in the camp. How about adding them directly to the army!"
"If they join, our total strength will exceed 1,500, and we will be more confident in defending Lingqiu City!"
The chief of staff immediately made a decision: "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Replenish the troops immediately. We are now trapped in Lingqiu City. The Japanese and puppet troops may attack us at any time. An extra hour will increase our chances of holding Lingqiu!"
"Go and do it now, add them directly to the front-line combat troops, and mix them with our soldiers!"
Chen Bing quickly replied: "Okay, I will contact all the political cadres of the three battalions now and ask them to mobilize the prisoners to join our independent regiment immediately!"
Hong Linfeng then added: "Add one more when mobilizing!"
"We have evacuated all the people in the county. The leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade was captured by us. He also killed one or two thousand little Japanese outside the city! The Japanese army is coming fiercely. After entering Lingqiu City, they will definitely kill all of us.
, maybe we might massacre the city to vent our anger!"
"Join our garrison, block the Japanese attack, and then choose the opportunity to break out. Only then will everyone have hope of survival!"
"Otherwise, after the city is broken, no matter whether they join our Eighth Route Army or not, they will definitely suffer bloody revenge from the little devils, and they will not escape death!"
Chen Bing quickly replied: "I understand, let's mobilize now!"
"I will definitely explain the situation clearly to them. It is a matter of life and death. I believe they will make the right choice!"
Hong Linfeng continued to order: "Leave mobilization to political cadres, the main force cannot be idle!"
"Before the Japanese troops come over, seize the time to build street fighting fortifications in the city!"
"The regiment commander has an order. When the Japanese arrive, they will definitely attack us with planes and artillery. Relying on the city fortifications to defend to the death is no different from surrendering to death!"
"The best way is to let the Japanese in and fight with them in street fights."
"In this way, their planes and artillery will be ineffective, and while we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, we can kill the maximum number of Japs with the minimum casualties, kill them in large numbers, and hold on until dark!"
Chen Bing quickly replied: "The troops have already started taking action!"
"Each battalion or company is organized as a platoon, and each main platoon is divided into an alley. The battlefield is arranged by digging holes in the walls, shooting holes, and fortifications, etc. to ensure that the little devils cannot get out when they enter, and whoever comes in will die!
"
Chen Bing left the city in a hurry!
After the figure disappeared little by little, Hong Linfeng turned his attention to the streets and alleys that were being renovated!
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese are coming!"
An exclamation made Hong Linfeng look away from the city, then quickly turned around, raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the observation post's finger!
"It's the Japs' vanguard force, an under-organized infantry squadron plus dozens of cavalry, nearly two hundred Japs!" Hong Linfeng judged with a serious look on his face!
More than two hundred Japanese soldiers fought their way to a position six to seven hundred meters outside the city before stopping!
The troops quickly dispersed into battle formations, with machine guns on the ground and the muzzles pointed at the city head, assuming an offensive posture!
The rifleman squatted half on the ground, holding the flat end of his rifle in his hand, also aiming at the city head!
Dozens of cavalry did not stop, they quickly divided into three and ran towards the other three gates of Lingqiu City!
Only then did the main Japs force enter Hong Linfeng's sight!
A look of solemnity quickly flashed across Hong Linfeng's serious face. After thinking for a moment, he began to give orders: "The Japanese are coming. The troops at the top of the city are ready for battle!"
"Although we don't have many people, we have strong firepower. Each company has been strengthened with one heavy machine gun and five light machine guns. The firepower is more than twice the original!"
"If the Japs launch a probing attack, don't be anxious, bring them closer and fight, try to kill their probing attacking troops, and give the Japs a show of strength!"
The company commander guarding the city immediately passed on the order, and then half-crouched behind the city gate, staring at the Japanese from the crenels motionless!
"Chief of Staff, the Japs don't seem to be planning to attack!" the company commander suddenly shouted!
After joining the forward troops, the Japanese did not make many changes. They just ordered the troops to stop and rest, and did not even set up the artillery!
"Rumble..."
At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded outside the city, and the cavalry who went to investigate the other three city gates returned to their positions three times like crazy!
Five minutes later, the Japanese five hundred meters outside the city finally moved!
But instead of launching an attack, they divided their forces to attack the other three gates of Lingqiu, with a reinforced squadron sent in each direction!
Hong Linfeng quickly reacted: "I understand, there are too few Japanese here, and he is afraid that when he attacks, we will break out from other gates!"
"In order to completely surround us here and kill us, the Japanese decided to surround us first and cut off all our escape routes before launching an attack!"
"Order all the troops defending the city to stand ready, and the troops who are repairing fortifications in the city to speed up!"
"The first Japanese offensive force has arrived outside the city, and the follow-up troops will definitely come over soon!"
"Weng buzz..."
As soon as the order was issued, the roar of the plane reached my ears from far to near!
Hong Linfeng's expression changed immediately, his face became gloomy, and then he cried out!
"The kid is ruthless enough. It seems that our independent group has really hit their weak point this time. We are determined to kill our independent group here, and they dispatched three planes! We have been fighting the kid for so long,
It’s the first time I’ve been treated so well!”
"Only one squad is left at the top of the city to monitor the Japs. The others all retreat and hide in the corners of the city wall to avoid the bombing!"
"The little devil is here for revenge, and the city will definitely be bombed!"
Just as the sparse figures on the top of the city disappeared, three silver-white planes appeared over the battlefield!
When circling around Lingqiu City, the flying altitude becomes lower and lower!
The aviation force's loss of an aircraft yesterday has not yet been avenged, so the Japanese aviation force has also become popular. In order to take revenge, the scene where the aviation force appeared with three aircraft was shown just now!
