At ten o'clock in the evening, as long as the Eighth Route Army was still alive in Lingqiu City, they all began to gather to the west of the city!

Artillery, ammunition that was not destroyed during the day, all were sent here!

"Commander, my side has just finished counting, and as of now, we still have 246 people left! There are 9 mountain guns left, five infantry guns and 15 mortars! Eighty percent of all captured ammunition was saved, nearly 600 more mountain artillery shells, nearly 400 infantry artillery shells, and nearly 1,000 mortar shells! ”

"Enough!"

Li Hao replied confidently!

Then he began to give orders: "All the remaining artillery of the whole regiment is concentrated here, as many as there are, there is not enough artillery for the commandos and guard companies to make up, to ensure that all artillery can be fired!" ”

"At two o'clock in the morning, when the little devil slept the most soundly and must be the most tired, we broke through at that time!"

Hong Linfeng furrowed his brows and asked, "Is it to fight the west of the city with the artillery battalion outside the city and use the cannonballs to blow up a hole in the devil's defense line?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and replied mysteriously: "Let's fight south of the city!" ”

"The south of the city is right opposite the base area, shelling the Japanese defense line in the south of the city, and the little devils will definitely take the south of the city as our breakthrough direction!"

"Sound from east to west!" Hong Linfeng suddenly realized and shouted!

Li Hao affirmed: "Let's fight the south of the city, fire the cannon first!" ”

"The infantry artillery has all the shells, the mountain artillery has 100 shells, the mortars have 300 rounds, and the main force has one mountain artillery shell or three mortar shells per person when breaking through!"

"When the artillery broke through, except for the six mortars, all the other artillery pieces were blown up!"

"In addition to the help of the infantry with artillery shells, each soldier must bring me two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition and three grenades!"

"Each infantry squad only takes a crooked handle out of the city, all the heavy machine guns are abandoned, and all the extra weapons and ammunition can be buried in the cellar, and when we have the opportunity to kill it again in the future, we will take it out and equip the troops!"

Hong Linfeng didn't speak, and after thinking for nearly a minute, he reminded: "Regiment commander, in this way, the weight of each soldier directly exceeds forty catties!" ”

"With the cover of the artillery battalion, even if the speed is a little slower, it will definitely be no problem to kill Lingqiu City!"

"But in the next battle, if each soldier carries nearly fifty pounds of equipment and ammunition, not to mention whether he can fight with the little devil, even running away is a problem!"

Li Hao replied confidently: "As long as you can take it out of the city!" ”

"Don't forget, we still have an artillery battalion outside the city, and the artillery battalion not only has people, but also mules and horses!"

"As long as you join them, these burdens will not be a problem!"

Outside Lingqiu City, almost a third of the Japanese army did not rest!

With the rifle in his hand, he stared at the surroundings vigilantly, not letting go of the slightest movement!

"Woo woo woo ......"

The screeching of cannonballs across the sky suddenly sounded, very harsh!

The devil on duty first covered his face, and then his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously fell to the ground and shouted: "Shelling, there are shells smashing at us, hide!" ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......"

The piercing scream is getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, the explosion is ringing in my ears!

Dirt, stumps and broken arms, and heavenly maidens are blown up and flying everywhere!

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is about to break through, and the direction of the breakthrough is on our side!" The subordinates rushed into Kimura Nakasa's tent and shouted!

"Baga, such a big movement, I heard it a long time ago, what are you panicking about!" Nakasa Kimura forced himself to calm down, and then rushed out of the tent!

There is still a big gap between what the eyes see and what the ears hear!

As soon as he got out of the tent, Kimura Nakasa was dumbfounded!

The artillery fire was so fierce that there were columns of black smoke everywhere, fireballs that kept exploding, soldiers and severed arms that were blown away, and there were craters everywhere and the seriously wounded who were screaming incessantly!

The leader of the artillery squadron rushed out of the artillery fire and ran to Kimura!

"Boom ......"

Less than thirty meters away from Kimura, a mortar shell fell from the sky and smashed beside him!

The cannonball exploded, and the whole person was blown away in an instant, and when it landed, it had turned into a corpse that could no longer die!

"Sir, it's too dangerous here, the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army may come at any time, we must retreat!" The captain of the guard reminded in a hurry!

An artillery staff officer shouted: "The Eighth Route Army has assembled at least twenty artillery pieces to bombard us, and there are also mountain artillery and infantry artillery in it, the power is too great, and our temporary defense line will definitely not be able to withstand it!" ”

"There is no difference between continuing to defend the line and sending you to your death!"

"Retreat, all the troops retreat, re-establish the defensive line one hundred meters behind, block the direction of the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army in the south of the city, and kill all the Eighth Route Army that wants to break through from the south of the city!" Nakasa Kimura ordered decisively!

It's easier said than done to retreat under the blow of more than twenty artillery pieces!

Soldiers are constantly being blown up while running and falling to the ground!

Kimura Nakasa is anxious in his eyes!

Although the final casualties have not yet been counted, judging by his experience, the casualties will definitely not be too small!

As soon as the guards withdrew to the temporary defense line under the protection of the guards, a second lieutenant on guard behind rushed over: "Sir, we found the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army five hundred meters behind!" ”

"How many people!" Kimura Nakasa's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he asked nervously!

The second lieutenant didn't think much about it and replied: "Not much, only a few cavalrymen, who have been scouting back and forth at a position of five hundred meters, and they can't be seen any further!" ”

"Yaga!"

Kimura's face sank at that time, and he frowned and judged: "They must have come to meet the Eighth Route Army that broke through the garrison!" ”

"I'm too familiar with this style of play, first covered by artillery fire, then by infantry and cavalry, our troops often haven't recovered from the shelling, they have already killed in front of them, killed our troops, and opened a breakthrough!"

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, if I hadn't experienced this style of play in advance, I would definitely be caught off guard at that time, and then watch the Eighth Route Army break through!"

"Pass my order, all the troops on the defense line retreat a hundred meters, and set up a temporary defense line here to block the breakthrough troops of the Eighth Route Army at all costs."

"Specially draw at least one squadron and three heavy machine guns to hold behind us!"

"When the garrison breaks through, those cavalry will definitely come together and flank us in front and back!"

"The heavy machine gun is a killer weapon against the cavalry, there are three heavy machine guns and an infantry squadron on top, even if the Eighth Route Army rushes over a cavalry battalion, it can be blocked!"

The adjutant hesitated and reminded, "But sir, we don't have that many troops available!" ”

"The three squadrons don't know how many people can run out of the artillery fire!"

"There are only three heavy machine guns in total, even if they are all withdrawn and guarded in the back, the front will be gone!"

Kimura Nakasa immediately replied, "Reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

"Before dark, I had an agreement with several other captains that no matter who was besieged and unfortunately was selected by the Eighth Route Army to break through, the other three brigades would unconditionally send reinforcements!"

"All the imperial army troops in Lingqiu are now united, regardless of you and me, all of them have a common purpose, to trap the garrison regiment in Lingqiu City!"

"As for the heavy machine gun, even if it is not enough, it will block the back!"

"The cavalry is the greatest threat to us, and we must not let them get close to our temporary defensive line!"

"On the front is to block the breakthrough troops of the Eighth Route Army, they are infantry, the assault speed is slow, it is enough to have light machine guns and rifles!"

"Hey!"

Hearing that there were reinforcements, the adjutant was visibly relieved!

In Lingqiu City, the artillery position has been completely shrouded in the pungent smoke of gunpowder!

Dozens of gunners and commandos who can shoot artillery, in teams of two, operate a cannon, and the guard company acts as ammunition men, running back and forth between the artillery, delivering one well-fused shell after another to the gunner!

The deputy commander of the artillery battalion stood by and commanded this shelling!

Li Hao is also guarding the side!

Will the devils outside the city be fooled, and whether the casualties can be minimized when the troops break through for a while, this shelling in front of you is very important, and you must play your own posture of breaking through from the south gate, so that the devils can believe!

Report ......

Commando Captain Xiao shouted from afar!

Rushing all the way from the south gate of the city, even if Xiao Yuan has strong combat effectiveness and good physical strength, he is still out of breath!

rushed to Li Hao, and before he had time to catch his breath, he hurriedly reported: "Regiment leader, the little devil guarding the south gate has retreated a hundred meters back, and is forming a temporary defense line there!" ”

"There is a squadron of devils in the east and west of the city to reinforce the south gate, and they are already on the way!"

"It's done, the devil has been fooled!" Li Hao exclaimed excitedly!

Then he stared at the deputy commander of the artillery battalion and asked: "How many shells do we have, can we also cover the newly formed temporary defense line of the devils with a round of artillery fire!" ”

"Add a fire to make the devil even more convinced that we are going to break through from the south gate!"

The deputy battalion commander hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, regiment commander, there are still shells, it shouldn't be a problem to fight for five minutes!" ”

Li Hao frowned and made a decision: "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to aim at all the shells brought by the devil's temporary defense line, and then blow up all the extra artillery, and take six mortars to the west gate to join me!" ”

"The speed must be fast, and you can't delay for a minute!"

"The remaining shells of the artillery battalion outside the city can only be fired for five minutes, and they will fire on time after ten minutes, and as soon as the shelling is over, we will go out of the city to break through!"

"So you and everyone must rush to the West Gate to meet me within five minutes and kill Lingqiu City together!"

"One minute late, the devil will have one more minute to react, and our casualties on the way to the breakthrough will also increase by one minute!"

"It's 2:15 a.m., and at 2:25 a.m., the artillery battalion will start shelling, and at 2:30 a.m., it will break through on time!"

After speaking, Li Hao trotted towards the West Gate!

As soon as Li Hao moved, the deputy battalion commander was also anxious, and immediately shouted: "Stop the shelling, stop!" ”

"The firing distance of all artillery guns has been increased by 100 meters, and the shooting crews will open fire as soon as they are adjusted, and all the remaining shells will be used up in the shortest possible time!"

"Quick, everybody, get moving, speed up!"

"The guard company prepares grenades, and explodes the artillery when the shelling is over, except for the six mortars that have been separated, all the other artillery pieces are blown up!"

"Boom ......"

In less than a minute, a dull shelling sounded at the artillery positions!

"Retreat, the troops will retreat another fifty meters and establish a temporary defensive line!"

In the Japanese position outside the city, Kimura Nakasa was carried by the guards through the artillery fire, and ordered while retreating!

At this time, he was 100% sure that the garrison would break through from him, otherwise the shells would not chase after his ass and hit him, and he would not give himself a chance to establish a temporary defensive line!

Rush out of the artillery coverage and start giving orders before you have time to catch your breath!

"Contact reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army will definitely break through from the south gate!"

"The defenders of the South Gate have suffered heavy casualties, let them come quickly, it's too late!"

"Don't we still have two squadrons of cavalry? Transfer them over as well to encircle the breakout troops of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"The fate of all of us is in the next battle, no matter how big the price is, we can't lose!"

Devil reinforcements are crazy.

Put your rifle on your back, spread your legs, and run towards the south gate!

Light and heavy machine gunners are heavy, slow, and quickly pulled away!

It is very dangerous to encounter an enemy sneak attack!

But the riflemen who rushed to the front did not have anyone to turn back and wait for them, to protect them!

Compared to the safety of those machine gunners, it is obviously more important to block the garrison breakout troops!
