This was a question that the adjutant hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask!
If Colonel Aoki cannot give a positive answer, he will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight!
Aoki's first reaction was to curse!
As a subordinate, and also his deputy, not only did he not assist his command and provide him with operational ideas, but he also questioned his orders. This clearly means that he does not believe in his command ability?
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out!
The adjutant’s suspicion may not be due to his own worries!
The outcome of tonight's battle has not yet been determined, and the number of casualties among the troops is still unknown!
On the battlefield, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles!
Now that I don’t even know my own strength, it’s too difficult to survive a hundred battles!
Even though I have been on the battlefield for a long time and am now very rational, the orders just now were issued after careful consideration!
At this moment, I still don’t have the confidence to give the adjutant a positive answer!
After taking a deep breath, he did not choose to bluff, but answered truthfully: "To be honest, I don't know either!"
"I can't give you a definite answer until the battle damage comes out!"
“But I believe in an old Chinese saying, success depends on people and planning depends on heaven!”
"Every time the garrison fights against the imperial army, it can win with less and win with more. I believe we can do the same!"
"Don't think too much, and there is no point in thinking about these things now! The most important thing for us now is to count the casualties, know ourselves and the enemy, and then we can think about other things!"
"You should do this yourself and calculate the losses in the shortest possible time. The more detailed the better!"
The adjutant slowly calmed down and replied with a serious face: "Sir, don't worry, I will leave my humble post now!"
"Da da da……"
Before anyone could move, a series of gunshots rang out outside the headquarters, and bullets even flew directly into the headquarters, causing a commotion!
When the adjutant walked to the door, several bullets flew right in front of him, and then flew back against his scalp!
Smelling the smell of burnt hair coming from his scalp, the adjutant's face turned pale at that moment!
Just a little bit away, a bloody hole will be punched in his head!
Subconsciously he retracted his head, then rushed towards Colonel Aoki and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
"Someone is attacking the headquarters, protect the commander!"
Several guards reacted quickly and pounced on Colonel Aoki at the same time, using their bodies to form a line of defense around him!
They were escorted until they were protected by a brick wall before they dispersed!
"What's going on? Could it be that this place is also being targeted by the troops from the garrison lurking in the city!" Aoki asked with a stern face!
No one answered this question, but the increasingly fierce gunfire outside told Aoki the answer!
At this time, the guard captain suddenly broke in, with blood on his body, and he was very embarrassed!
"Sir, there is at least one platoon of enemies attacking us outside, with very strong firepower! We don't have enough troops and we won't be able to defend it! Please move immediately and get out of here!"
"For a humble position, you can draw a combat unit and add a staff officer to the headquarters to cover you, sir, and rush out!"
"The others and the humble officials are here to hold back the enemy and buy time for the commander to break out!"
The adjutant immediately shouted: "Sir, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
"As long as you rush out, you still have a chance!"
"If something happens to you, even if there are troops in the city, Lingqiu City will not be able to defend it!"
Then, regardless of Colonel Aoki's reaction, he ordered to the guard captain: "Immediately organize the troops, cover the commander and rush out, we will break out from behind!"
"Go directly to the ammunition depot. There are guards there and there are plenty of weapons and ammunition!"
Colonel Aoki did not refuse the kindness of his subordinates. Although this was the second time he gave up his command and became a deserter! But his reason told him that this decision was right!
Hearing the adjutant mention the arsenal, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes, and he followed the order: "Contact all the troops who have withdrawn from the front line, and all retreat towards the arsenal. We will fight the enemy in street battles with the arsenal as the center!"
"There is a large amount of weapons and ammunition stored there, and the garrison will definitely want to seize it!"
"After the troops occupied the place, they had so many weapons and ammunition in hand. When the enemy attacks, they will definitely have many concerns in order to prevent those weapons and ammunition from being destroyed!"
"Let's go to the ammunition depot now!"
"If Lingqiu City really cannot be defended, we will blow up the ammunition depot and live or die with Lingqiu City, so that the garrison will get nothing from Lingqiu City!"
More than twenty Japanese soldiers gathered around Colonel Aoki. As soon as he opened the back door of the headquarters, a string of machine gun bullets flew in from outside the door!
The four Japs at the front fell down, with several bloody holes the size of fists punched in their chests. In the blink of an eye, they were gone!
"No, there are enemies at the back door of the headquarters!" the adjutant ordered while protecting Aoki and hiding behind the courtyard wall!
"The guard troops will attack immediately, kill them, cover the commander and rush out!"
"Da da da……"
As soon as a dozen Japanese soldiers showed up at the door, the familiar sound of machine gun fire rang out!
Bullets flew in and intertwined at the door, forming an airtight fire net!
No matter who it is, if they hit it, they will definitely be killed or injured!
"Retreat, no more charges!" Colonel Aoki said, with a gloomy look on his face!
Then the conversation changed and he immediately ignored the adjutant and started giving orders!
"The enemy blocked the gate with machine guns. As long as there is enough ammunition, no matter how many of us there are, we can't break out!"
"We rushed out from other places, blew up the wall directly, blew a hole in the wall, and broke through the gap!"
Hope rekindled on the desperate face of the adjutant, and he answered expectantly: "Sir is wise..., I will go and explode it myself, and I will definitely cover you and rush out!"
"Rumble..."
In the violent explosion, a gap was instantly blown out of the two-meter-high wall!
In the thick smoke, the adjutant seemed to have seen the hope of rushing out, and immediately rushed to Aoki's side!
"Sir, the gap has been opened, we will break out immediately!"
Colonel Aoki was lucky to escape Sun Jiawu's siege again!
But at this moment, he didn't know that his last hope arsenal had changed hands!
It turns out that the little devils defending here have turned into corpses, piled together, motionless!
A dozen soldiers from a guard company were hiding behind the bunker with guns in hand, watching the surroundings with vigilance to prevent anyone from approaching!
"Someone is rushing over here, it's a kid!" A soldier saw Colonel Aoki and his party from a distance!
He rushed towards the arsenal like a bereaved dog, very embarrassed!
"Machine gun ready!" the guard squad leader commanded with a flash of excitement!
The platoon leader arranged to stay here because he couldn't continue to kill the Japanese, and the squad leader still felt a little resentful!
Now that I see the little devils, these resentments disappear instantly, and then I start to figure out how to annihilate them all!
Take down the ammunition depot and seize a heavy machine gun with a crooked handle from the Japanese guards!
Add a light machine gun equipped by yourself, for a total of three machine guns.
Such powerful machine gun firepower, well arranged, can definitely kill these devils!
Soon the squad leader started to worry!
"Two machine guns at 100 meters open fire... Heavy machine guns at 60 meters open fire, riflemen fire freely, trying to annihilate them all!"
