The squadron leader of the third squadron who had just retreated lowered his head, like a defeated rooster standing in front of the captain and being scolded, letting his spitting stars splash on him, and he didn't dare to say a word with his head down!

Maybe it was because he was tired of scolding, and seeing that the solemn expression on the captain's face was a lot soothing, he mustered up the courage to speak!

"Sir, the responsibility that belongs to the lowly position must be borne by the lowly position, and the lowly duty will never shirk! However, even if you remove you from the position of squadron leader, sir, some words will still be spoken! ”

"The failure of the third squadron of reinforcements and the heavy casualties of the troops are indeed due to the disadvantages of the inferior command, but more because the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!"

"They are hiding in all corners of the city, we are in the light, they are in the dark, sneaking up on us from all directions, and the troops are simply unable to guard against it!"

"During the battle, the Eighth Route Army hiding in the courtyard next to the street has obviously been wiped out by us, and after we killed it, some new Eighth Route Army appeared in the courtyard and attacked us from behind, killing us by surprise!"

"On the way to retreat, I thought about this problem and finally came to the conclusion that it must be that when we were attacking, the Eighth Route Army detoured behind us from other places!"

"In the county town, except for the streets, there are houses, and we only occupy the streets, not the houses on both sides of the streets!"

"The Eighth Route Army is familiar with the terrain, and it can completely avoid our line of sight, walk through the wall or over the wall to walk through the yard and house, detour behind us, and attack us!"

"Unless we fight with the Eighth Route Army and fight them all out bit by bit, otherwise this kind of unguardable sneak attack will always exist around us, killing and injuring our soldiers."

The captain has seen much more than his subordinates, and he frowned and judged: "This is a typical street battle, I didn't expect that Tubalu would not only fight guerrilla warfare, but also be so proficient in street warfare!" ”

"Now I understand, the reason why we entered Lingqiu City so easily is not that the imperial army is too strong, nor is it that the Eighth Route Army is too weak! Moreover, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to abandon the city fortifications, deliberately let us into the city, and consumed us by fighting street battles! ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, if I had figured out all this earlier, the Fourth Squadron, the three reinforced squads that attacked at the beginning, would not have been wiped out in the city by the Eighth Route Army so easily!"

Speaking of this, the captain's face turned red directly from anger, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger, eager to find the Eighth Route Army now, break them into pieces, and vent the anger he was holding back!

The adjutant also reacted at this time!

He doesn't know much about street fighting!

On the Chinese battlefield, as long as there are no accidents, the destruction of the city means the end of the battle, and there are few street battles!

But he had studied at the military academy, twisted his brows, and analyzed with the limited knowledge in his head: "Sir, if the Eighth Route Army really decides to consume us through street fighting, then this battle will definitely be difficult to fight!" ”

"In the memory of the humble position, except for fighting with the Eighth Route Army, fighting house by house, and killing them little by little, the street battle is almost incomprehensible!"

The captain kept a calm face and didn't speak!

After a minute, he suddenly shook his head and vetoed: "No, there is another way!" ”

"There are houses and yards in the city, so that the Eighth Route Army can have a position to fight with us in the streets!"

"If these houses are all gone, they will have no way to hide in the city, and then the street fighting will not be able to be fought, so they can only come out and fight with us!"

The adjutant gasped and shouted, "How is it possible to destroy all the houses in the city!" ”

"How can you destroy so many houses?"

"Destroy them one by one!" The captain replied with a sneer!

"Each of the four brigades has a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squad, and six artillery pieces in each direction are shelling at the same time, and the advance speed cannot be too slow!"

"The casualties caused by the street fighting are too great for the troops, and we must avoid them!"

"As long as we can kill a few fewer imperial troops, we spend more time and use more shells, but it is really not possible to call for aviation support and bomb them with planes, it will be worth it!"

"Send a telegram to the other three brigades at once: let them stop shelling!"

"No, the other three brigades should also be troubled by the street battles of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Let them immediately count the casualties, as well as the tactical tactics used by the Eighth Route Army in street battles, and also count them, and summarize them all to me!"

"As long as the battlefield situation is the same as we judged, and the Eighth Route Army does fight in the streets and consume us, then we will change the way of attack!"

The headquarters of the independent regiment in the city!

As soon as the third battalion commander Huang Sheng put down the phone, his face sank.

"Chief of Staff, I have bad news here!"

"The battle of a battalion to encircle and annihilate an infantry squadron of the Japanese army has already been won, and it has also severely damaged their reinforcements! I didn't expect the devil to cover the battlefield with artillery fire at the last moment! ”

"Fortunately, the devil uses mortars, which have limited power, and our troops retreat in a timely manner, and the casualties are still within our acceptable range!"

"But the commander of the first battalion, Chen Bing, was seriously injured in the artillery fire and died before he could be sent out of the battlefield!"

"What?" Hong Linfeng was in a hurry, and got up from his seat with a rub!

Chen Bing was an old man in the Independent Regiment, he was the detachment leader when the Independent Regiment was a guerrilla, the platoon commander when he was an independent company, and the company commander when he was an independent battalion...... Whether with the regiment commander or with himself, he has established a very deep comradeship!

Now Huang Sheng actually told himself that this old brother had sacrificed!

Hong Linfeng's first reaction was to believe it!

I was stunned for a long time before I reacted: "What's going on, he is the battalion commander, there must be guards by his side, how can he be sacrificed?" ”

"Our independent regiment has been established for so long, and there has never been a precedent for the sacrifice of the commander of the main battalion, and now that Chen Bing has died, how can you let me explain to the regiment commander!"

Huang Sheng replied very seriously: "Their instructor reported: When Battalion Commander Chen arrived at the front line to command the battle, the Japanese suddenly opened fire, and a shell happened to hit him!" ”

"The guard died on the spot, he was seriously injured! But he didn't last a few minutes and died because of excessive blood loss! ”

"But the results of the first battalion are very great!"

"The previous three companies each took out a reinforcement team, and then three more reconnaissance teams! Now gathered together, not only did they successfully annihilate the reinforcements of a reinforced squadron of the devils, but the company they sent out also severely damaged another reinforcement sent by the devils to the battlefield! ”

"If it weren't for the quick reaction of the little devil and the timely retreat under the cover of artillery fire, the last reinforcements to come out would have been killed by a company!"

"But it also comes at a huge cost! The entire battalion had the greatest success, accounting for almost half of all the gains of the battalion! But the casualties were also the largest, there were less than thirty people left in the whole company, and they were directly compressed into three squads, and the company commander was the platoon commander! ”

Hong Linfeng frowned and asked, "How many people are left in the entire first battalion!" ”

"There are less than 200 people in the reserves, there are only about 50 people in the second and third companies, and the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon are in the reserves, with 70 people!"

Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed even deeper: "In just one afternoon, there were more than 200 casualties in one battalion, too many!" ”

"No accident, the casualties of the other two battalions are not much smaller, all combined, the casualties must be more than seven hundred, so the casualties of the whole regiment will be more than half!"

Speaking of which, both of them looked ugly!

I also began to worry about the regiment commander's battle plan!

The regiment commander wants to rely on Lingqiu City to kill and injure a large number of Japanese attacking troops in street battles, and then break through!

But once the troops are out of strength, not to mention breaking through, it is very difficult to at least hold Lingqiu City, and it is even more daydreaming to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops!

Hong Linfeng felt that he had lived up to the expectations of the head of the regiment, and analyzed with a look of regret!

"We haven't fought this battle well, and it is very likely that we will not be able to complete the task given to us by the regiment commander, we must report the real situation to the regiment commander as soon as possible, let him prepare early, and leave a way back for the troops, otherwise we will definitely be completely planted here!"

"Jingle Bell ......"

The ringing of the telephone broke the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of the command!

Huang Sheng hurriedly picked up the microphone and listened for a minute, the solemn expression on his face was obviously much more relaxed!

Putting down the microphone, he reported: "Chief of Staff, it's good news, the devil has retreated!" ”

"The little devils who attacked us are retreating on all fronts, and our people are fighting back, trying to kill a few more!"

"Retreat now!" Hong Linfeng couldn't figure it out, and his brows furrowed involuntarily!

After looking at his watch, he said to himself: "It's going to be dark in another hour, and the little devils don't take advantage of the last hour before dark to continue attacking us, do they want to fight with us at night!" ”

"If that's the case, we'll be a lot less stressed!"

The more Hong Linfeng spoke, the more excited he became, his expression was still solemn just now, but at the moment, like Huang Sheng, he was all relaxed!

Then he stared at Huang Sheng and ordered: "Immediately contact all the troops that can be contacted, quickly summarize the results and casualties, and then seize the time to rest!" There is no time to rest after dark! ”

"The devil retreated suddenly, although our pressure is much less! But the overall situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak has not changed! ”

"When the situation reported by each company arrives, it will be summarized immediately and then reported to the regiment commander, so that he can know the most real situation in the city, and then he can make a decision!"

"Also, contact the regiment commander and appoint the acting battalion commander of the first battalion as soon as possible!"

"They still have more than 200 people, and there must be a unified command, and there must be no chaos!"

The Japanese army headquarters at the south gate of Lingqiu, looking at the casualties summarized by the adjutant, the captain had the idea of apologetic!

The brigade plus the mountain artillery squadron, the cavalry team, and the baggage team are more than 1,300 people!

From noon, they attacked Lingqiu City and fought with the independent regiment, losing more than 700 people in less than an afternoon, and two of the four infantry squadrons were wiped out, one suffered more than half of the casualties, and one was almost wiped out!

He had thought of this result a long time ago, but after really seeing the bloody numbers in his hand, he was still frightened!

The already red eyes were even redder at this time, as if they were about to burn!

The fists were clenched, the muscles were furious, and the teeth were gritted, almost to the verge of rage and loss of reason!
