Chapter 706: Ups and Downs (First Update!) )
"Bang Bang ......"
The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and then I saw the adjutant rushing in in a hurry!
"Sir, the garrison still has the ability to attack, they are attacking again, and they are using their secret weapon!"
"The East Gate garrison reports that they have suffered heavy casualties and request reinforcements!"
Aoki Osa got up from the bed, picked up the armed belt and walked to the war room, commanding as he went!
"What's the panic? Now we have heavy mortars, and we are not at all afraid of the secret weapons equipped by the garrison regiments! ”
"Although because of the limited number of artillery, it is difficult to take the initiative to kill them! But it is still possible to hold Lingqiu City, continue to consume the offensive troops of the garrison regiment through defensive battles, and create conditions for us to encircle and annihilate them next! ”
"Draw a squadron from the reserve to reinforce it immediately!"
"The first and second squads of the heavy mortar will immediately open fire and counterattack!"
"After waiting so long, I finally got the secret weapon of the garrison regiment out!"
"Tell the artillery unit that the opportunity is rare, and you must seize the opportunity to destroy it for me!"
"I want to see with my own eyes what these secret weapons are, they can swallow our three infantry brigades in such a short time!"
Several staff officers rushed out of the war room like a wind and began to give orders!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
However, before Aoki Daisa could catch his breath, the explosion sounded again, this time from the west of the city!
Aoki Daisa reacted quickly, and reacted as soon as his brows furrowed: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, there is no strength like the garrison regiment that still has the strength to attack us in two directions together!" ”
Then the face sank and began to give orders: "Draw another squadron from the reserve to reinforce the West Gate, and the third and fourth squads of heavy mortars to reinforce the West Gate, the task is the same as the East Gate, go and give the order now!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
For the next ten minutes, Aoki Daisa's ears were filled with the sound of explosions and explosions!
Some sounded in the city, some in the city, and some from outside the city......
As the minutes passed, Aoki Daisa's face became more and more gloomy, and his confidence in the four heavy mortar squads was not as strong as just now!
After such a long time, the artillery of the garrison regiment still has the ability to attack, and even launch a counterattack on heavy mortar positions!
It shows that the artillery counterattack of the four heavy mortar squads did not work!
Soon, the artillery staff officer brought a piece of news that devastated him!
"Sir, the garrison regiment is too cunning, concentrating all mortars, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery, staring at our heavy mortar squadron!"
"Although their artillery power is not large, there are many of them, and almost two of them are staring at us and fighting one by one!"
"In order to protect the safety of the mortars and not be destroyed by the counter-fire of the garrison regiment, the artillery can only constantly shift positions, and there is no way to fight back against the secret weapon of the garrison regiment with all their might!"
Aoki Daisa didn't speak with a calm face!
The number of artillery pieces was too small, which was also an important reason why the troops could not expand the results of the counterattack in the first half of the night!
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to report the results to the military headquarters as soon as the battle was over, so that the military headquarters could see the effect of heavy mortars on the battlefield, and then continue to reinforce the artillery in Lingqiu City!
Now it seems that he still underestimated the impact of insufficient artillery fire on the whole battle!
Seeing that the artillery staff officers were helpless in the face of this problem, they were helpless with their brows twisted, let alone a layman!
"Report to the chief ......" The staff officer who specialized in answering the phone didn't know what Aoki was thinking, and as soon as he put down the microphone, he reported
"The defenders in the east and west of the city report that they have just been attacked by the secret weapons of the garrison, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties! They asked to abandon the fortifications of the city, no longer be passively bombed, and retreat into the city to fight street battles as before! ”
After hearing this bad news, Aoki's face was directly gloomy to the extreme, and his mood became more complicated!
No, it's the mood of the whole night, with its mixed moods and ups and downs!
The tide of battle is changing too fast!
In the first half of the night, the advantages were still on their side, and when they saw that the final victory was about to belong to them, they were in addition to the one in front of them!
As soon as the secret weapon of the garrison came out, the advantages that originally belonged to him were all gone!
Not to mention winning the garrison outside the city, now even self-protection may have problems!
The brain was racing, thinking of a way to break the impasse in front of him, and then he commanded very decisively!
"If you can't keep it, you won't keep it!"
"When the second batch of artillery reinforcements from the military headquarters arrives tomorrow, we will fight them again and then kill them completely!"
"The urgency of the delay now is to keep the troops, and when the time comes, the artillery will be there, and the troops will be gone, and the joke will be big!"
"Order: The front-line troops immediately evacuate the city fortifications, retreat into the city, and fight street battles with the garrison regiment with infantry squads as units!"
"The garrison suffered heavy casualties in the first half of the night, although now it uses a secret weapon. There was a lot of superiority in artillery fire, but the number of troops did not increase! ”
"In the previous street fighting, in order to avoid accidental injury, they didn't even dare to use mortars!"
"Although the secret weapon has been dispatched now, and it is extremely powerful, I definitely don't dare to use it in the city!"
"So as long as we retreat into the city to fight street battles, their secret weapons will be useless, the artillery advantage will be gone, and the troops will not be as many as ours, and the chances of victory and the initiative on the battlefield will return to our hands!"
The worry on the adjutant's face disappeared at once, and he immediately replied: "The chief is wise! ”
"Abandon the fortifications for the time being, keep the troops! When the artillery is in place, we will counterattack and fight back, retreat as advance, and give orders now! ”
"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
Before the people moved, a burst of gunfire mixed with several explosions rang out outside the headquarters!
"Report to the sir, the command is under attack...... "A second lieutenant of the guard unit broke in directly and reported!
Although Aoki Osa was angry, he didn't panic and asked calmly, "What's the matter?" What is the garrison doing to eat, the enemy has touched the side of the headquarters and has not found it! How many people are there, how well are they equipped, and will the guards be able to stop them! ”
The second lieutenant hurriedly replied: "There are only a dozen of them, armed with two light machine guns, and the guards are confident that they can hold them off!" ”
A flash of murderous intent quickly flashed on Aoki Daisa's face, and he decisively ordered: "No, the guards must not only block them, but also take the initiative to attack and kill them!" ”
"Only a dozen people dare to attack my headquarters, it's just looking for death!"
"Tell your captain, end the battle in five minutes, annihilate them all, and leave not a single one alive!"
After the second lieutenant left, the adjutant found a chance to speak: "Sir, I judge that these Eighth Route Army must have been mixed in in the street battle in the first half of the night!" ”
"The county town is too big, our troops are mainly guarding the houses on both sides of the street, and many yards that are a little farther away from the street are not defended by troops, and the enemy must have touched in from those places!"
"This is the only possibility!" Aoki thought for a moment and agreed!
Then he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Eight Grid Yalu, this garrison group is worthy of being a big trouble for the empire, it's too powerful!" ”
"As long as the imperial army shows the slightest flaw, it will immediately pounce and stare at our flaws!"
"I have a hunch that there must be more than this Eighth Route Army in the city!"
"Order the garrison in the city to strengthen its vigilance to prevent a sneak attack by a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Don't we have a squadron in reserve?"
"Patrol and guard the city with the combat detachment as a unit, take the initiative to attack, find and then kill these Eighth Route Army!"
"Lingqiu City is ours, and the main force of the garrison is attacking from the outside, there must be no problems inside, and there can be no chaos!" 2k reading web
