Chapter 678: Sending Reinforcements to the Stronghold (1)
After the armored battalion captured the central street, the infantry carefully searched the streets and alleys to clear the remnants of the little devils.
Soon after occupying the devil's position, Chen Lin reported the battle situation to the regiment headquarters.
At this time, Li Hong was observing the direction of Center Street through a telescope, and his expression showed a bit of victory in sight.
"Report to the regiment, the armored battalion has occupied the center street position, and all the enemies have been cleared!"
Li Hong nodded and asked the signal soldier: "How about the battle damage of the armored battalion?" ”
The signal corps then reported: "According to the report, the armored battalion has damaged five combat vehicles and suffered nearly 200 casualties, and the specific number of casualties is still being counted......
In this battle, the cost of casualties of the armored battalion was a bit large, but this was also within Li Hong's acceptable range.
When the armored battalion and the little devil were fighting fiercely just now, he saw that the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely for the position, and the battle was very tragic, and the little devil organized death squads to severely damage the armored battalion many times.
The devil soldiers defending the city, after all, are elite armor divisions, if it weren't for the heavy firepower of the little devils being killed, I'm afraid that the casualties of the armored battalion would be even greater.
Li Hong moved his binoculars to observe the battle situation in other streets, and at the same time, he was also thinking in his head.
Now that the sky is already bright, the little devil will definitely send planes to support as soon as the day dawns.
After thinking for a short time, Li Hong retracted his thoughts and ordered the signal soldiers: "Give an order to the commander of the sixth battalion immediately, let him immediately take the sixth battalion into the city and take over the position of the armored battalion!" ”
"Yes, Tuanza!"
The signal soldier saluted and left, and then he ran back to the headquarters and gave orders to Wang Desheng, the commander of the sixth battalion, by telephone.
Li Hong ordered the sixth battalion to go up at this time, mainly considering that the casualties of the armored battalion were not small, and the soldiers were too tired after a fierce night of fighting.
There are not many combat vehicles that can be put into combat by the armored battalion, and if the little devil bomber comes, then the combat vehicle is huge and limited in the streets and alleys, and it is simply a live target for the devil bomber.
After receiving the order, the commander of the sixth battalion quickly rushed to the city with the officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion, carrying weapons and ammunition.
Subsequently, Chen Lin and the commander of the sixth battalion did the formalities of handing over the position.
"Brother Wang, I'll hand over the position to you!"
"Uncle, you can rest assured that the position is handed over to our sixth battalion! Wang Desheng patted Chen Lin and continued: "If the little devil fights back, my old Wang and the brothers of the sixth battalion will definitely hold their positions to the death!" ”
Chen Lin nodded, and gave the position to the sixth battalion with confidence.
The officers and men of the armored battalion, as well as the combat vehicles, quickly withdrew from the streets.
The central street is very important, in order to avoid the little devils from counterattacking, the soldiers of the sixth battalion immediately established a three-dimensional defensive position on the street and on the ground.
Previously, the little devils had already built fortifications all over the streets, and it would take a lot of time for the 6th Battalion to re-establish fortifications and fire fortifications......
As soon as the central street position was lost, the headquarters of the devil brigade exploded.
Hearing that the position was lost and all the subordinates defending the position were killed, the Kameda Wild Wolf suddenly sat on the stool with a dead heart.
The central street was lost, and the devil defenders in the east and north cities were isolated, and the little devil positions could only be cut and encircled.
Not only that, but more than half of the entire county will fall into the hands of the security regiment.
"Report to the brigade commander, the defenders of Dongcheng are besieged by the security regiment, and request reinforcements for tactical guidance!"
"Report to the brigade commander, the communication between the brigade headquarters and the headquarters of the defenders of the northern city has been interrupted......"
"Baga Ya Lu, that's enough, a bunch of incompetent idiots, I don't want to hear this bad intelligence again!!"
Kameda Noro shouted at the devil messenger and slammed the conference table with both hands.
For a while, the silent needle drop of the headquarters of the devil brigade could be heard, and all the devil officers and soldiers remained silent.
As the brigade commander, Kameda Noro was very angry and helpless at this time, since the battle with the security regiment, the entire brigade was a loss of troops, and bad information happened one after another.
The Devil Brigade Headquarters was silent for a while, and suddenly, a Devil Lieutenant from the Communications Department strode over.
"Report to the general, reinforcements from various surrounding strongholds have arrived outside the city!"
As soon as he heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements, Kameda Noro was stunned at first, he couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he was hallucinating.
In the past few days, all the things that Kameda Noro has heard are bad news, and there is not a single good news.
Immediately, Kameda Noro Huo Ran stood up and asked excitedly, "What?" What did you just say? We have reinforcements coming? ”
Lieutenant Devil repeated: "Yes, General, our reinforcements have arrived, and there is also an armored squadron!" ”
"Yoxi, that's great!!"
The other devil officers in the command also looked happy and joyful, and the arrival of reinforcements was their hope.
"General, the security regiment has occupied all positions in the central street, and our command should be transferred as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be danger." The devil officers suggested to Kameda Noro one after another.
The worries of the devil officers are not unreasonable, if the enemy's brigade headquarters is discovered, the range of the security regiment's artillery fire can completely hit the headquarters of the little devil brigade.
As soon as the heavy artillery of the security regiment fired, a few large-caliber shells were able to destroy the building of the devil's headquarters.
Kameda Noro thought about it, followed the advice of his subordinates, and said, "Everyone hurry up and clean up the headquarters, and the headquarters will be transferred immediately!" ”
"Ha Yi !!"
The devil officers nodded in response, and soon, the devil officers and soldiers began to transfer the headquarters......
The Japanese puppet army has gathered more than 2,000 reinforcements, as well as seven or eight chariots, and at present, all the enemy's reinforcements have been assembled outside the West City Gate and are on standby.
These Japanese puppet troops, who had just been reinforced, did not carry any heavy firepower, only a squadron of devil armored troops.
After two hours, the devils set up a headquarters on the back hill of the county seat.
During this time, the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Security Regiment began to encircle and annihilate the devil defenders in the streets north and east of the city.
The devil soldiers in the streets north of the city and east of the city lost contact with the brigade headquarters, and the little devils did not have a unified command, and they fought indiscriminately in the streets and alleys.
Because the devil had no command center and no artillery support, the little devil lost several important streets and alleys one after another, and also suffered two or three hundred casualties.
At this time, half of the positions in the city were in the hands of the security regiment, and if Li Hong ordered the whole regiment to attack, he could take the county seat within a day.
Li Hong's current battle plan is not only to capture the county seat quickly, he wants to make the little devils trapped in the city fall into a bitter battle, keep asking for help, and attract more devil reinforcements to come for reinforcements.
The 2nd Theater mobilized a lot of troops and laid a lot of ambushes on the way to reinforce the various units of the devils.
If the security regiment captures the county seat at all costs, the little devil troops will have no strategic significance in reinforcing Gucheng County, and the operational plan of "besieging and reinforcing the county" will also be shattered.
