"Sir, the casualties of the troops have been counted, the imperial army has suffered 109 casualties, the imperial army has 88 casualties, and one of their companies has almost been wiped out!" The temporary captain of the garrison brigade walked up to the chief of staff and lowered his head and reported!

"The wounded and the corpses have all been moved, what are we going to do next!"

"Use the second garrison squadron to replace the first garrison squadron, and transfer another Imperial Cooperative Army to the company!" Chief of Staff Nakasa ordered!

Just now he had been thinking about why the troops fought so badly and suffered so many casualties!

In the end, he figured out that almost most of the casualties just now were caused by the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army outside the city!

If the artillery is removed, the two armies only rely on light weapons to fight, and the Eighth Route Army attacking Lingqiu City is several times more than that, and it is not their own opponent!

So the solemn expression on the chief of staff's face was replaced by confidence again!

As long as you don't fall for it this time and try to weaken the threat of the Eighth Route Army's artillery to your own troops, you will definitely win the next battle!

You can definitely complete the tasks assigned to you by the brigade commander and destroy the Eighth Route Army with the least casualties!

"Woo woo woo ......"

The time of the independent regiment is limited, and it is necessary to use the shortest time to force the Japanese puppet army in the city, and then transfer troops from the front-line sweeping troops to reinforce and create opportunities for the main force of the regiment to send reinforcements!

So less than ten minutes after the first encounter, the scream of cannonballs across the sky rang out!

The chief of staff of the devil reacted quickly this time, and with a frown twisted, he ordered: "The troops are transferred in concealment, only the observation post is left at the head of the city, and all the others leave the city!" ”

The shelling came quickly and ended quickly!

Maybe you know that there are no devils in the city anymore, and the mountain artillery only fired three rounds of shells before stopping!

"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack, covered by three heavy machine guns, and a company of attacking troops!" On the top of the city filled with gunpowder, the observation post shouted at the top of his voice!

The chief of staff did not move, and ordered in a deep voice: "Continue to observe, and wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush to a position of 100 meters outside the city before reporting!" ”

Soon the voice of the observation post sounded: "Sir, they have rushed to a hundred meters!" ”

"Still rushing forward...... Ninety meters up...... Eighty meters ......"

Just when the chief of staff was about to order the troops to enter the position, the next words of the observation post directly asked him to swallow back the order that had already come to his lips!

"They stopped, and the Eighth Route Army stopped at a position sixty meters outside the city, and no longer continued to attack!"

"This must be another conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, forcing our troops to the city, and then bombarding them with artillery, fortunately I was not fooled!" The chief of staff secretly rejoiced in his heart!

But before he could rejoice, the observation post spoke again, and directly made him tense his nerves again!

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is digging trenches and directly repairing positions sixty meters outside the city!"

The chief of staff couldn't sit still, and immediately rushed to the city under the protection of the guards!

Glancing out of the city through the shooting hole, his face became solemn!

More than 100 Eighth Route Army troops lined up in a straggler line, some with shovels in their hands, some with bars in their hands, rifles on their backs, in groups of two, desperately digging on the ground!

The fast-paced Eighth Route Army has already used the excavated soil to pile up a mound in the direction facing the city!

Coupled with the small dirt pit dug out, people hide inside, and they can already block most of their bodies!

"I understand, the Eighth Route Army wants to advance their offensive position to sixty meters outside the city and shorten the distance of their attack!" A flash of sudden realization flashed on the solemn face of the chief of staff!

Then he hurriedly shouted: "Their plot must not be allowed to succeed!" ”

"Once their offensive position is repaired, they will attack us from sixty meters away, as long as they have enough troops, a single charge can reach the foot of the city wall, and we simply won't have enough time to stop them!"

"The troops immediately entered the position, counterattacked with firepower, and forced them back! Kill them if you don't retreat! ”

"The grenadiers also came up together, sixty meters is far beyond the throwing range of our grenades, only they can hit the grenade to the side of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The mound of dirt they piled up in front of them can block the bullets we shoot head-on, but they can't stop the grenades falling from the sky!"

For more than 300 days, the puppet army killed and injured the head of the city, and set fire to the Eighth Route Army scattered outside the city!

The firepower was both dense and accurate, because the individual bunker had not yet been formed, and the mounds and pits could not fully provide cover for the soldiers, and people were constantly hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming!

But this casualty did not deter the three companies!

If you can't dig while standing, you can squat and dig, and if you can't dig if you can't dig while squatting, you will dig on your stomach, and soon the figures that keep popping up behind the mound will disappear, and you can only see shovel after shovel of dirt being lifted out, piled on the side facing the city wall, and continue to raise the mound!

The chief of staff was anxious and continued to shout: "Shoot, continue to increase the firepower, shoot the grenadiers too, resolutely repel them, and absolutely not let them build an offensive position under our noses!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The grenade fell from the sky and smashed into the middle of the three companies at the moment of explosion, Hong Linfeng spoke!

He ordered in a deep voice: "The devils have all gone to the city, fire the cannon immediately." Blow him up shit! ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The familiar scream of breaking the sky sounded again, and on the lively city, the face of the chief of staff of the devil Nakasa, suddenly turned white!

Under the protection of the guards, as soon as he hid in the corner, a violent explosion sounded in his ears!

The dozens of grenadier soldiers lined up in a row in the open space at the head of the city bore the brunt of the attack, and only one round of five or six shells smashed down and blew them up!

"Sir, the artillery fire on the Eighth Route is too fierce, the troops continue to defend the city, and the casualties are too great! What to do next, please get an idea as soon as possible! The captain of the garrison shouted anxiously!

There was no shelter in the open city, and every shell could kill at least one soldier!

These soldiers are all subordinates of the garrison itself, and no one is more heartbroken than the captain!

The chief of staff was in a dilemma.

At this time, a difficult question was in front of him!

The easiest and most direct way to reduce the casualties of the troops in the shelling is to evacuate the city!

But in this way, there is no way to stop the Eighth Route Army from building offensive positions outside the city!

At this moment, there was no longer the slightest arrogance on his face when he accepted the task, but a confused face, and even a little overwhelmed!

Lack of combat experience is his fatal wound, although he is already Nakasa, he has always stayed in the headquarters and has almost no experience leading troops alone!

Let him fight a dozen hard-fought conventional wars, fight according to the command of the military academy, and there will be no problem at all!

But let him face this unpredictable battle situation, and make a decision on the battlefield, he has no inventory in his mind at all!

At this time, he thought of the brigade commander with rich combat experience, as if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw in despair, and immediately shouted!

"Contact the brigade headquarters immediately, I want to talk to the brigade commander on the phone, quick!"
