An extremely loud explosion suddenly sounded in Lishi County. Many people hiding in their rooms couldn't help but open their windows and look towards the east of Lishi County.
Many people could see thick smoke rising from the east side of Lishi County, and the fire was rising rapidly.
Suddenly, many people in Lishi County guessed that the Japanese ammunition depot must have been blown up by the Eighth Route Army, which caused such a big movement. For everyone in Lishi County, they also knew to some extent that in the county
There is a Japanese ammunition depot.
It’s just that the Japs did such a good job of keeping secrets that even if everyone knew that there was a Japs ammunition depot in the county, they would not know the specific location of the ammunition depot. It wasn’t until the ammunition depot exploded just now that people in the county knew the location of the Japs ammunition depot.
.
Three hundred meters outside Lishi County, in the northeast corner, Liu Gen looked at the fire and smoke rising from the county with satisfaction, knowing that he had hit the right spot and successfully killed the Japanese ammunition depot.
The 120th Division had already heard about the news that the Japanese had an ammunition depot in Lishi County. One month before the war, they sent many soldiers from the special agent regiment to inquire about the location of the Japanese ammunition depot. In the end, after the agents
After careful investigation, the regiment soldiers successfully found the specific location of the Japanese ammunition depot.
Before launching the artillery bombardment on the Japanese ammunition depot, Liu Gen had long been prepared to bombard it as many times as possible, but who would have thought that the Japanese had cut corners in the construction of the ammunition depot, and was successfully blown up by himself with one shot. This
During the first attack on Lishi County, Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery battalion brought almost all the artillery shells from the 120th Division Headquarters. In a short period of time, the artillery shells were enough.
But it would be great to have the opportunity to save a few more shells. The Japanese ammunition depot was directly blown up, and Liu Gen had no idea of continuing the bombardment.
After successfully blowing up the Japanese ammunition depot, Liu Gen knew that the battle plan could proceed smoothly. After leaving behind a company of artillery soldiers and five soldiers from the headquarters artillery regiment, he quickly left the outskirts of Lishi County with the remaining artillery battalion soldiers.
Liu Gen was certain that if he blew up the ammunition depot directly this time, the Japanese would definitely ask for support.
If the Japs thought it was a joke that Liu Gen and others attacked Lishi County before, then now the Japs in Lishi County have become nervous. The battle has been going on and the Japs have suffered nearly a hundred casualties in less than half an hour.
If this continues, the enemy's casualties will inevitably be greater.
Of course, the reason why the Japanese suffered so many casualties was inseparable from Liu Gen's bombardment. Only his accurate enough bombardment could easily take away the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
Before leaving, Liu Gen did not go to see Commander Chen. With Commander Chen’s ability, I believe he would know what to do without him having to remind him. Liu Gen was still very confident in Commander Chen, and he believed that what would happen next
Captain Chen can do a very good job.
Facts have proved that Liu Gen's judgment was correct. After learning that Liu Gen had left with most of the artillery battalion soldiers, Commander Chen decisively asked the remaining artillery soldiers to continuously bombard the positions of the Guizi County garrison. As for the city wall
Commander Chen didn't have the slightest idea about the Japs. He knew that these remaining artillery soldiers could not compare with Liu Gen.
What's more, it is not easy to kill the Japanese hiding behind the city wall with artillery shells. Skill is very important. It is not easy to successfully hit the Japanese with artillery shells.
In Lishi County, the moment he saw the ammunition depot being blown up, Song Yuan Yeli knew that he needed to ask for help. He needed quick support from the brigade, and even support from other surrounding First Army units. Song Yuan Yeli did not expect that,
These Tubal Road troops attacking Lishi County were serious. I didn't expect these Tubal Road troops to have such strong combat effectiveness.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
A shell landed on the Japs station and exploded. There were not many Japs soldiers at the station, but it made Songyuan Yeli's heart tremble. He was still stationed. What if a Tuba Road shell fell on his head?
, then even if he has a family behind him, it will not have any effect.
"Your Majesty Colonel, we need to move. We can't stay at the station any longer. It's too dangerous here." He quickly ran to Matsubara Yeri under the mountain tree, looking a little embarrassed.
At the moment when the ammunition depot exploded, Shanye felt that he was going to die. He was not far from the ammunition depot. Fortunately, Shanye found a simple bunker under the tree. He hid behind it and successfully survived.
Come down. The Japanese soldier who was with him was not so lucky. He was accidentally hit on the head by a flying stone and died immediately.
"Then where can we go? Where will it be safe?" Songyuan Yeli's face looked a little ugly. There was a Tuba Road attacking outside the county town. Where else could he go?
Unless he chooses to escape, Matsubara Nori knows very well that if he chooses to escape, even if he has the help of his family behind him, it will be difficult to survive the military law. As for surrender? Matsubara Nori has no such idea. He still has family members in his hometown.
, once the news of surrender spreads, his family will be implicated.
"Report! A large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared in the south of the county. They seem to be the main force of the Eighth Route Army! Requesting support!" At this time, a Japanese soldier ran over in a hurry, with blood pouring from his forehead.
Songyuan Yeli's expression changed drastically. Why did the Eighth Route Army troops appear in the south of the county? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army really wanted to capture Lishi County?
"Yamano-kun, please immediately ask for help from the brigade commander and the Taiyuan headquarters. Our Lishi County town is besieged by nearly a division of the Eighth Route Army. I, Matsubara Nori, lead the warriors of the Japanese Empire to defend the county town and request the surrounding troops to support us as quickly as possible!
"Matsuhara Nori quickly issued an order for help.
Songyuan Yeli did not dare to take any chances. The Eighth Route Army must have used so many troops to capture Lishi County. Only with rapid support from troops in the surrounding area could it be possible to save Lishi County. Otherwise, he could only
Live and die with Lishi County.
As long as there is still a glimmer of hope of survival, Matsubara Nori does not want to give up.
Yamano Shuxia quickly ran towards the communication room. He wanted to send out the news for help as soon as possible. As for Matsubara Nori did not say anything about the bombing of the ammunition depot, he did not ask. Yamano Shuxia knew that only ammunition
If the arsenal and weapons depot are still there, then they will have the value of being rescued.
Without the ammunition depot and weapons depot, the strategic location of Lishi County is very important, but not that important. The cost of rescue is too high, so the headquarters may choose to give up.
I don’t want to die in the fields of Songyuan, nor do I want to die under the trees in the mountains. The ammunition depot is still there, the weapons depot is still there, and there is still enough rescue value in Lishi County, which is worth the surrounding troops’ rescue at all costs!
