The order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was forwarded all the way to Li Hao, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening!

The guard company and the assault team have cooperated with each other, and have successfully taken out two cavalry squadrons and two artillery positions of the devils, ready to pounce on the third artillery position!

"Stop moving. We retreat! ”

After reading the telegram, Li Hao decisively terminated the operation!

Even the battle was successful, and the several battalion and company commanders who were on the rise couldn't figure it out, and looked at the regiment commander with a puzzled face!

"The headquarters has an order!" Li Hao didn't hide it, and replied with a long sigh!

"I don't know if this news is good or bad for our garrison!"

"According to the original battle plan, we will defend Lingqiu City for another day, and we will break through tomorrow night!"

"However, in order to disrupt the devil's sweeping plan and win the entire anti-sweep, the headquarters has decided to let us stay in Lingqiu City for another three days! Turn Lingqiu City into an impenetrable stronghold for devils, and force them to draw more troops from the front line to attack us! ”

"What? How is this possible to keep it for three more days! Zhou Wu stared at a pair of big eyes and shouted incredulously!

"More than half of the troops in the city were killed and wounded in one afternoon today, and there are more than 600 people left who don't say that they will defend for three days, maybe the whole army will be wiped out in less than two days, and then there will be no troops, how can we defend it!"

Yuan Qingfeng, the commander of the artillery battalion, said: "Regiment commander, I also think that this order is too difficult for a strong man, and it is almost impossible to do it!" ”

Several subordinates were all pessimistic and did not hold out any hope, Li Hao spoke at this time, his expression was very firm: "There is nothing impossible, as long as we find a way, we will have the opportunity to make the impossible possible!" ”

"Everyone doesn't know, this winter sweep launched by the devils, not only our Lingqiu, but also the entire base area has been devastated!"

"Compared with other base areas in the military region, our Lingqiu's strong walls are cleared more thoroughly, and the losses and casualties should be minimal!"

"Other base areas are not so good, if the sweep does not end for a day, it means that there are countless soldiers and civilians in the base area who will continue to die tragically under the butcher's knife of the devil!"

"It is the responsibility and obligation of our Eighth Route Army to protect the people!"

"In order to reduce the death of a few civilians in the base area, for the sake of the overall situation, and for the sake of killing devils, and avenging the sacrificed comrades of the garrison regiment, we must fight this battle, and the order must be executed, there is no room for negotiation!"

"Do you know why I suddenly decided to stop the operation just now!"

"You're right just now, the lack of troops is the biggest problem our garrison is facing right now!"

"With this little force left, if you sacrifice one, you will lose one, and you won't get any replenishment! If we want to guard Spirit Hill City for three days, every warrior is very important to us, and we must not sacrifice in vain! Even if some sacrifices can't be avoided, we have to pull a few more little devils on our backs before the sacrifice and die as we deserve! ”

"The operation in front of us has lost its surprise nature, and it is difficult for us to eliminate more devils at the lowest cost!"

"Except for the devil artillery position outside the south gate, it is only protected by cavalry, and the artillery positions in the other three directions are protected by infantry, and there is an early warning!"

"In the battle just now, although we killed the devil cavalry squadron and took their artillery position, the devil's infantry protecting the artillery also caused more than 30 casualties to the guard company and the assault team!"

"With this amount of troops, we will continue to hold on here for three days, and we can't stand the attrition!"

"Also, don't worry too much!"

"The headquarters ordered us to hold out here for three days, but except for the two infantry brigades that were killed before dawn, all the reinforcements drawn by the devils from the front line were blocked by the main force, ensuring that not a single soldier would be killed to Lingqiu!"

"So, as long as we can do a good job in this surprise attack on the devil's reinforcements in the second half of the night, the pressure of defending Lingqiu for three days is not very great!"

"Now I order: all troops bring enough weapons and ammunition, we will set off now and arrive at the scheduled raid battlefield in advance to prepare!"

"We can only win this battle, not lose!"

"And you have to kill the most devils with the least casualties!"

In Lingqiu City, except for the guard posts on both sides of the enemy, everyone else is sleeping!

On the first line of the city wall, the devil relied on the corner of the city wall to build dozens of shacks, and more than a dozen huge bonfires were burned next to the shacks, which kept the devils warm while also illuminating the surroundings!

Hundreds of little devils, except for the guard posts, are all in infantry squads, or sleep in shacks, or sit around the campfire to keep warm!

Twenty meters away from the city wall are the dwellings, and the houses are connected together, not to mention hundreds of people, even thousands of people can live down!

But the devil didn't dare to live, and fought street battles with the Eighth Route Army during the day, and every devil saw the haunting of the Eighth Route Army, and there was a psychological shadow!

The Eighth Route Army was too cunning, piercing holes in the wall, climbing over the wall, and cornering the wall...... Omnipotent!

Living in a house by himself, the Eighth Route Army has a way to touch the room separated by a wall from him!

When the time comes, all it takes is a grenade to throw in, and the imperial army in the entire room will be reimbursed!

And staying in the corner of the city wall is much safer!

There is a 20-meter open space between there and the private house, and the possibility that the Eighth Route Army wants to touch everyone through the open space under everyone's nose is almost zero!

If the guard post then controlled the row of houses and courtyards closest to the city wall, and the grenades and grenades equipped by the Eighth Route Army could not threaten themselves, it would be safer!

In the first half of the night, all the devils had a good dream!

But the good times didn't last long, the night was getting darker and darker, everyone went into a deep sleep, and the eyelids of the warning post also began to fight, and an accident happened!

"Da Da Da ......"

A string of machine-gun fire rang out behind a courtyard wall less than thirty meters away from a vigilant group of devils!

Bullets whizzed out of the shooting holes and swept towards them like meteors!

The devil's reaction speed was already much slower because the weather was too cold and his body was frozen!

Now with another exhaustion, the whole person is in a half-dreaming state, and the reaction speed is even slower!

Before he could react, several clouds of blood burst out of his body, and then he fell from the roof with a scream!

The short and dense sound of machine-gun fire was particularly harsh in the quiet night, like an order, and as soon as it sounded, the whole county became lively!

The sound of rifle firing and grenade explosions constantly rang out in the courtyard where the devil guard post was stationed!

At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade at the east gate, the captain had just been awakened by the sound of gunfire less than ten minutes before a lieutenant rushed in!

"Sir, there are too many sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army, they are fierce and ruthless, and the alert troops can only be beaten passively, and now more than half of the casualties have been lost!"

The captain scolded with a calm face: "Are they all pigs, and are the weapons in their hands all burning sticks?" Why not fight back! ”

"The Eighth Route Army can fight street battles, and we can fight too!"

"The vigilant troops hid in the courtyard on the first line of the city wall, waiting for the rabbits, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to attack, shouldn't they use street battles to severely damage the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops? Why did you lose so much on the contrary! ”

The lieutenant lowered his head and replied: "It's really the Eighth Route Army that is too cunning!" ”

"They are familiar with every house, every yard where the vigilant troops are stationed!"

"When we sneak attack, it's not a direct assault, but a silent approach to us from a place we don't know, first blow up with a grenade, and then assault!"

"The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and there is no such thing in our vigilant troops!"

"Our guard posts have been hidden since the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, but it is useless!"

"In the face of the sneak attack, they haven't found the attacking Eighth Route Army, and several grenades have fallen from the sky and exploded around them!"

The Eighth Route Army was too cunning, and after using grenades to make sure that there were no enemies in the room, they continued to assault forward! ”

The captain's face was even more ugly, and he scolded!

"Eight Geya Road, they are all stupid pigs, and they are not the opponents of the Eighth Route Army!"

The lieutenant lowered his head and did not speak, nor did he dare to quibble, and let the spitting stars of the captain splash on himself!

"Boom ......"

Two explosions suddenly came in, directly interrupting the captain's scolding!

Just now, his face was just solemn, but now it has become gloomy!

The explosion was so close that the fire could be seen through the tent at the headquarters!

"Sir, the courtyard guarded by the guard post was occupied by the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they threw two grenades at our station from the courtyard, and the imperial army of an infantry squad was bombed and suffered heavy casualties!" A second lieutenant rushed into the tent and gasped and reported!

"Fight back, fight back immediately, kill these Eighth Route Army for me!" The captain stared at a pair of red eyes and ordered decisively!

The second lieutenant did not leave, hesitated and replied: "We counterattacked!" ”

"The imperial army of the two detachments next to us quickly dispatched to outflank the courtyard occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but when we rushed over, the courtyard was already empty, except for the corpse of the guard post, not a single Eighth Route Army saw it!"

"And ......"

"And what? Say whatever you want, don't spit it out! The captain became even more angry and continued to scold!

"The Eighth Route Army has touched our noses and killed people in front of us, what else is there to say!"

"Hey!" The second lieutenant replied hard!

"After the counterattack troops entered the courtyard, they did not find a single Eighth Route Army, but they encountered two trickery mines arranged by the Eighth Route Army when they retreated, and the counterattack troops suffered heavy casualties!"

"Stupid pigs, a group of stupid pigs, so many people can't even catch a few Eighth Route Army, and they continue to lose troops and generals, when did the imperial army become so unbearable, this battle is really too embarrassing!" The captain continued to scold!

At this time, apart from scolding, he couldn't think of any other way to relieve the anger that was surging up in his stomach!

The adjutant has not spoken, and when he hears the gunfire and explosions outside the command headquarters getting more and more intensive, as a deputy, it is necessary for him to remind the captain to stay calm and find a way to reduce the casualties of the troops, and he can't be beaten passively all the time!

Summoning up the courage to report, "Sir, rest your anger! ”

"The troops have been defeated again and again, with heavy losses! I think it's not that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army has weakened, but that the real reason is that the Eighth Route Army is more familiar with the terrain than us! ”

"Only by breaking the geographical advantage of the Eighth Route Army can this problem be solved!"

The captain was not a fool, and quickly made a decision: "Order, all troops are transferred to the city, we are condescending, I see how the Eighth Route Army should sneak attack us!" ”

"Hey!"

In less than half an hour, all the devils in the four directions of Lingqiu City went to the city wall!

The sneak attack with the constant gunfire really stopped, but the captains were not happy at all!

Because from the first gunshot to the time when all the troops went up to the city wall, it took less than an hour to fight, and four brigades walked in the city and lost nearly two hundred corpses!
