The garrison regiment's special agent battalion attacked the position. Battalion Commander Liu Senyun held up the binoculars and stared at the battlefield without blinking. He was very nervous!
In addition to the reason that the group leader Li Hao is standing next to him, there is another reason that is also very important!
This is the first battle for the special agent company to expand the special agent battalion. If it is successfully fought, the special agent battalion can gain a firm foothold in the garrison, and its commanding ability can be recognized by more than ten cadres of the garrison and above!
Otherwise, even if he wears the hat of the commander of the secret service battalion, he will look down on himself!
Fortunately, the battle situation has been developing in the planned direction without any accidents!
One of the key attack points of the spy battalion had been completely submerged by artillery fire. Although the Japanese and puppet troops were protected by trenches, Liu Senyun believed in his artillery even more!
At this moment, in addition to six mortars, there are also two mountain cannons and three infantry cannons that are firing!
Although mortar shells mainly kill people with shell fragments, their power is limited!
But mountain artillery and infantry artillery are very powerful!
The trenches in front of us had just been dug by the Japanese and puppet troops. They had only been briefly reinforced, and even the soil on both sides of the trenches was still wet!
Regardless of whether it is a mountain artillery or an infantry artillery, if a shell flies over, even if it hits the edge of the trench and does not hit the target directly, the trench will collapse!
More importantly, in addition to killing people with fragments, the shells they fire can also produce powerful shock waves!
Within a radius of five meters around the impact point, even if the little devils squat in the trench and successfully avoid the flying fragments above their heads, the shock wave can knock them out of combat!
If you are lucky and take precautions, you can still save a small life, but you will faint from the shock!
Unlucky, he was shocked to the point of bleeding from all his orifices, and died on the spot!
A few minutes ago, the troops attacked!
The artillery fire was prepared for five minutes before the attack. If the Japanese reinforcements had not arrived in time, the troops would have successfully broken through the first ring of Japanese fortifications!
If the artillery fires for another five minutes now, if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese reinforcements that have just arrived on the battlefield must have been almost completely blown up!
As long as the Japanese no longer have reinforcements coming, the next assault on the special agent battalion will definitely win!
Thinking of this, Liu Senyun decisively ordered: "After one minute of shelling, the Second Company will immediately launch an attack and tear apart the Japanese defense line in front of me!"
"The second and third companies are also ready for the assault!"
"As soon as the hole is opened, kill it immediately. The second company will attack the Japanese defense line on the left, and the third company will attack the Japanese defense line on the right, and eliminate them on the battlefield!"
"Then the company continued to attack the second line of defense of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"The artillery is ready. As soon as the assault is successful, we will immediately bombard the Japanese second line of defense directly in front of us!"
"Stop firing as soon as you kill them!"
"This time, we have to be overwhelming. Before the Japs can react, we will fight all the way to the outside of the stronghold. Then we will intercept all the Japs' troops outside the stronghold, eat them bit by bit, and prevent them from returning to the stronghold! Finally, we will capture the empty troops.
Stronghold!"
"Tick tock..."
The charge horn soon sounded on the battlefield. More than a hundred soldiers, like leopards, sprang out from the offensive position. Under the cover of night, they charged towards the Japanese and puppet defense lines with guns in hand!
Six heavy machine guns were mounted on the high ground and fired wildly!
The whizzing bullets turned directly into meteors, flying over the heads of the attacking troops and towards the Japanese and puppet army positions!
"We're in! We're in in a row!" Liu Senyun stared at the scene closely, his eyes motionless, and he shouted excitedly!
Then he started to give orders: "Two and three in a row!"
"Expand the gap, kill the little devils on both sides of the gap, and kill them quickly!"
"Move the heavy machine gun forward, cover the first company and continue to kill the Japanese second ring fortification!"
"The artillery opened fire immediately and launched a three-minute artillery fire attack on the Japanese second line of defense. Cover the first company and continue the forward assault!"
"The guard platoon and the recruit company are on standby, ready to reinforce the battlefield at any time!"
After issuing a series of orders, Liu Senyun calmed down from his excitement and looked at Li Hao, who still had a calm expression next to him!
"Captain, your method works!"
"The little devils are worried about the thunder cannons we are equipped with, so they don't dare to concentrate their troops!"
"Their strength is too scattered. As long as we concentrate our firepower and troops to attack one point, we will definitely be able to dominate the battlefield. Before the little devil can react, we will fight all the way to the outside of the stronghold and kill the little devil in the three ring fortifications.
The Japanese all blocked up outside the stronghold and then ate them one by one!"
Li Hao nodded and affirmed: "The troops fought well!"
"But we can't be careless, especially in the upcoming encirclement and annihilation battle!"
"The enemy and we are mixed together, and heavy weapons are almost useless. The superiority of troops and the combat effectiveness of the troops are the key to determining the outcome of this big battle!"
"Tell each company platoon leader that we must not only regard the battle in front of us as an attack, but also as our training ground!"
"When the troops attack, stability is the priority. In every battle of annihilation, superior troops and firepower must be concentrated to eat up the little Japanese who are divided and surrounded one by one!"
"Now the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands, and we have to attack several surrounding counties and cities. Even if the little devils send troops to reinforce, they will only focus on the surrounding counties and cities first, and not here!"
"So the little devil in front of us is a lone army. We will not receive any reinforcements in a short period of time, and we have enough time to deal with them!"
"If we can't eat tonight, we will continue tomorrow night, but we must control the casualties of the troops!"
"Use fighting to train, end the battle with the minimum cost, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
In Lingqiu City, the arrogance before the war can no longer be seen on Colonel Aoki’s face!
The huge pressure and losses forced him to lower his head and re-examine the defense team!
They are so powerful: well-equipped, sophisticated in tactics, and they also have secret weapons that make the imperial army wary...
If the defense group only occupies one aspect, you can definitely block the attack of the defense group easily!
But the garrison regiment occupied several aspects!
Faced with these problems, Colonel Aoki felt timid in front of the Chinese army for the first time!
Concentrate your troops to defend the stronghold, fearing that the garrison will dispatch secret weapons, and kill all the defenders with a few shots, which is a waste of troops!
Divide your troops to defend the ring fortifications outside the stronghold. The troops are too scattered!
Facing the defensive regiment's concentrated attack with superior strength and firepower, the defense line is in danger and may be torn open by the defensive regiment at any time!
This is the biggest problem facing Colonel Aoki now!
Facing the constant calls for help from strongholds outside the city, he was very embarrassed and didn't know how to make a decision!
"Sir, urgent report from the successful stronghold: the garrison has broken through the first line of defense and is launching a fierce attack on the second line of defense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another staff officer put down the microphone and reported hurriedly: "An urgent report from the stronghold in the east of the city: the garrison has broken through their second line of defense!"
"Sir, urgent report from the stronghold in the south of the city. Their first line of defense has also been breached!"
"The second line of defense is in danger and may be breached at any time!"
Colonel Aoki frowned and cursed: "Baggeya Road, the garrison is taking advantage of the weakness of our scattered forces, concentrating our forces to focus on the attack, first tearing holes in the defense line, and then penetrating the entire position, dividing and surrounding our troops.
Then eliminate it bit by bit!”
The adjutant immediately reminded: "Sir, I humbly suggest that the troops retreat immediately!"
"Once they are separated outside the stronghold by the garrison, their destruction is not far away!"
"If they return to the stronghold, they can still hold on through the turrets and bunkers in the stronghold for the final time!"
Aoki refused without hesitation: "We can't retreat!"
"Stay outside the city and fight with the garrison. Even if they are divided, surrounded, and finally wiped out, they can still kill many Eighth Route Army troops before they die!"
"Once they return to the stronghold and the garrison uses their secret weapons, the warriors and the Eighth Route Army will not have a chance to fight?"
"A few powerful artillery shells came down and killed them all. Not even the Eighth Route Army could be seen. What a loss!"
"Since we will inevitably be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army whether we retreat or not, then we will not retreat, but continue to defend the fortifications outside the stronghold, and fight to the death with the attacking troops of the garrison, and bring in a few more backstops!"
I have to say that Colonel Aoki’s analysis is right!
Maximize the useable value of every soldier on the battlefield, even if those soldiers are dying!
Although it is a bit cruel, and there is a suspicion of treating the troops stationed outside the city as cannon fodder, it is definitely beneficial to the entire war situation!
As long as Colonel Aoki's goal can be achieved, a large number of the garrison's offensive troops will be consumed at the cost of annihilating the entire garrison outside the city!
If not, the vigor of the garrison may be destroyed and the ability to continue attacking Lingqiu will be lost!
The little Japanese garrison outside the city did not know that they had become cannon fodder in the hands of Colonel Aoki, and that they had been drained of all their usable value!
On the battlefield, facing the Eighth Route Army rushing from all directions, although he was frightened, he still fought to the end!
And all this is exactly what Li Hao has dreamed of!
In the Battle of Lingqiu, the garrison suffered heavy casualties!
Li Zhiyong, former deputy commander of the First Company of the Independent Battalion, the fastest-promoted recruit in the regiment, was very lucky to survive!
The secret service company expanded the secret service battalion. Because of his outstanding battlefield performance and ability, he was directly transferred to the secret service battalion and directly served as the commander of the second company!
At this moment, he was commanding the Second Company to hunt around the Japanese positions and eliminate all the little Japs who were still alive!
"Da da da……"
A string of tongues of flame suddenly emerged from the front position!
The two soldiers at the front fell down in response!
Li Zhiyong immediately lay down on the ground, raised his telescope and took a look, with an excited smile on his face, and immediately shouted!
"There are Japs ahead, almost a small team!"
"Damn it, after fighting for so long, we finally met an organized Japanese!"
"Order, four rows on the left wing will detour, five rows on the right wing will detour, the others will attack me head-on, surround them first, and then attack!"
"Shoot the grenade first to find out whether the little devil is real or not!"
"Machine gun cover, suppress the Japanese, while the others crawl forward and slowly move over, greeting them with grenades!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The three grenade launchers quickly started firing. After three consecutive rounds of wine grenades, Li Zhiyong clearly saw the three Japanese soldiers being blown out of the trench!
"Da da da……"
The entire company's seven machine guns followed suit!
The machine guns currently equipped by the army are all modified from the arsenal and are fed by magazines. As long as there are a sufficient number of magazines, a machine gunner can easily operate them, and jamming is rare!
Therefore, the firepower fired by the seven machine guns was both fierce and tricky. The bullets stuck closely to the trenches and flew whizzingly, giving the Japanese no chance to show their faces!
