"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They abandoned the city wall and ambushed a large number of troops behind every gap in the city wall. When more than half of the troops crossed the gap, they suddenly launched an attack on us. We were unable to defend ourselves and were caught off guard!"
A second lieutenant who retreated lowered his head and reported!
The captain roared with anger: "Baga, are you all stupid pigs? There are so many troops, even if they are attacked, they will not be severely damaged in an instant. Why don't the remaining troops fight back? I don't believe the Eighth Route Army
The fighting power is so strong that it can cause so many casualties to the attacking troops when we counterattack!"
The squad leader lowered his head and replied: "Even in a humble position, I want to fight back, but the Eighth Route Army's firepower is too fierce!"
"At least one heavy machine gun and four crooked guns were placed behind the gap in the humble attack! There are also many Eighth Route Army troops ambushing in the ruins less than thirty meters away from the gap!"
"As soon as the heavy machine gun fires, throw the grenade into the gap!"
"The troops were fired upon by five light and heavy machine guns at the same time, and grenades were constantly raining down from the sky. With such powerful offensive firepower, the warriors were so overwhelmed that they had no chance to even raise their heads! Let alone fight back!"
"idiot!"
The captain also understood at this time!
This matter was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end. The anger I had been holding back was not suppressed at this time, and it all burst out!
The whole person was like an angry lion, staring with a pair of red eyes and began to give orders: "The artillery will fire immediately. Concentrate all the artillery fire on me to cover several gaps in the city wall. I will cover the entire fifty-meter radius of the gap. I will
We must kill all the Eighth Route Army troops hiding inside!"
In Lingqiu City, when he saw that all the Japanese in the gap had been killed, the platoon leader gave a decisive order!
"Everyone retreat, it's not safe here!"
The heavy machine gunner was still immersed in the pleasure of killing the Japs just now, and shouted with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are we retreating? We are blocked by the city wall, and the Japs outside can't see us! As long as we stay here, the Japs will come to us as many times as we can."
Just kill as many as you can, and don’t let a single Japanese enter the city through the gap!”
The platoon leader ordered with a serious face: "Retreat! We have been exposed. The devils outside the city can't hit us with guns, but they have cannons and they can blow up us!"
"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to kill the Japs today. There are thousands of little Japs outside the city. As long as you have the ability, you can kill as many as you want. But there is a prerequisite. Everyone must save their lives from the Japs' attack first!!"
"According to the original battle plan, we retreated fifty meters and continued to fight at the gap!"
"The counterattack distance is a bit far, and we definitely can't hold the gap like we did just now!"
"But we must not let the little devils easily enter Lingqiu City. We must make them pay the price of blood for every step they take!"
"Boom boom boom..."
A platoon of more than thirty people had just withdrawn from the battlefield when an explosion sounded behind them!
Almost all the soldiers had expressions of rejoicing on their faces that they had survived the disaster!
If the platoon leader hadn't insisted on leading everyone to retreat, the troops would have been suffering under artillery fire at this time, and they would have suffered heavy casualties in the end!
Outside Lingqiu City, the captain held up his telescope and scanned back and forth between the three gaps in the city wall in front of him, silently calculating the time for the bombardment!
After the mountain artillery squadron, infantry artillery squad, and mortar squadron fired more than five hundred rounds in a row, he finally spoke!
"Stop the bombardment! The infantry begins to attack. Heavy machine guns and mortars accompany the infantry in the attack, providing fire cover for the attacking troops at any time and killing any Eighth Route Army counterattack troops that may appear in the city!"
"This time we will enter Lingqiu City no matter what!"
"Hi!"
Seeing the murderous expression of the captain, several squadron leaders quickly responded without daring to say any unnecessary nonsense, and then rushed towards their own troops!
The three infantry squadrons were divided into three, and they lined up as skirmishers to attack the gap in the city wall, going faster and faster!
The artillerymen carried mortars, and the heavy machine gunners carried heavy machine guns, rushing towards the battlefield, ready to stop at any time to provide fire support!
The mountain artillery squadron, the infantry artillery squad, and the mortar crews without tasks were all squatting next to the artillery, ready to continue firing!
"Da da da……"
Just as one-third of the attacking force crossed the gap in the city wall, the gunfire that the captain least expected to hear rang out!
Fortunately: this time there was only gunshots and no grenade explosions!
The captain held up his binoculars and could clearly see his subordinates who had been shot and fell to the ground. In the moment of heartache, he also saw a scene that made him happy!
Many subordinates who reacted quickly lay down in the gap decisively, raised their machine guns and fought back!
The two heavy machine gun teams accompanying the team in the attack also reacted quickly. Bullets whizzed overhead, setting up the heavy machine guns in the gap, and then began to counterattack!
The two mortar teams also stopped and set up artillery directly outside the city. They took simple aim and then opened fire with the heavy machine guns!
"Sir, the gunfire in the city seems to have stopped!" The adjutant shouted excitedly within half a minute of the two sides shooting!
"The counterattack force of the Eighth Route Army must have been killed by our offensive force!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the infantry blocked outside the gap moved!
Under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars, quickly enter the city, completely occupy the gap, and then expand the occupied area in the city!
A few minutes later, a second lieutenant rushed over from the gap: "Sir, we have entered the city!"
"We have occupied the three gaps blown up in the city wall! The troops have entered the city and are expanding the occupied area!"
"However, the city gate has been blocked by the Eighth Route Army. The main force can only enter the city through the gap for the time being!"
The serious expression on the captain's face became relaxed at that time, and he immediately ordered: "The mountain artillery squadron, the baggage squadron, and the cavalry squadron will stay outside the city to guard, and all other troops will enter the city!"
"We must not only enter Lingqiu City before dark, but also completely occupy it and kill the Eighth Route Army inside!"
At the former Japanese army headquarters in Lingqiu City, Hong Linfeng stood in front of the sand table, staring at Huang Sheng without blinking. He pulled out the small flag representing the independent regiment and replaced it with a small flag representing the Japanese army!
After setting up the sand table, he reported: "Chief of Staff, it has been exactly an hour since the Japanese army started attacking. All four walls we defended have been lost, and the four companies have suffered more than one-third casualties!"
"The three companies that defended ten gaps also suffered heavy losses, and less than half of them were able to retreat!"
"But the casualties of the Japanese attacking troops were also very high!"
"The four infantry squadrons in the first round of the attack all suffered more than half casualties. The biggest loss was at the South Gate, where almost the entire army was destroyed!"
"The four infantry squadrons in the second round of attacks also suffered heavy casualties. Preliminary judgment shows that the total of the two Japanese losses should exceed 500 people, which is equivalent to killing at least two Japanese for every soldier we sacrificed!"
Not only did Hong Linfeng not smile, but he shook his head and replied: "The casualties are still too great!"
"The Japs are outnumbered and we are few. Even if one soldier can fight three of them, it's not enough!"
"Tell the combat troops that the real bloody battle has only begun now. Let them use all their guerrilla warfare skills. Don't care about the gains and losses of street by lane. Retreat when it's time to retreat!"
"The same goes for equipment. If you lose it, lose it. You can never fight the Japanese for a machine gun!"
"Last night we seized a large number of light and heavy weapons, enough for everyone's consumption!"
"Even if we lose one machine gun and we can kill one more kid, we will still make more money than buying and selling!"
