Chapter 1568 No Cannon Fodder on Yourself (Second Update!) )
The brigade headquarters was attacked, and the Japanese troops who received the reinforcement order did not dare to slack off, and immediately dispatched troops to the battlefield.
But as soon as the troops rushed out of the garrison, they were fired back by a burst of indiscriminate gunfire, and more than a dozen corpses were left at the camp gate.
This is the masterpiece of Deputy Head Rowan.
The heavy weapons reinforced by the main force of the regiment and the savings they had saved allowed each main battalion to reinforce Baoding with five heavy machine guns and four mortars.
Rowan set up a heavy machine gun and three light machine guns at the entrance of the Japanese barracks, and fired at the same time, no matter how many devils there were, they couldn't rush over.
At the same time, four mortar shells flew into the camp like eyes, and in the flying firelight, many Japanese soldiers were blown away before they could recover from their senses.
"Enemy attack...... The enemy attacking us is inside the city! One of the squadron leaders of the reinforcements shouted.
Before the words could be spoken, gunshots rang out around the camp, everywhere.
"Sir, we're surrounded!" The squadron leader continued to shout.
The group commander also felt this way, and immediately ordered: "All the reinforcements are back, use the courtyard walls and houses in the camp to resolutely repel the enemy's attack, first find out the enemy situation and battle situation, and then decide whether to reinforce the headquarters." ”
That's what Rowan wants.
Attacking the camp from all sides at the same time, the devils mistakenly think that they are being besieged.
Under normal circumstances, the first thought of the Japanese army must be self-preservation.
As long as this time lasts for half an hour, the commando team and the reconnaissance company will definitely be able to take the command with the combat effectiveness.
"Boom ......"
Two explosions sounded at the same time behind a courtyard wall of the headquarters, and a heavy machine gun called Zhenghuan behind the shooting hole instantly muted fire.
The soldiers of more than a dozen reconnaissance companies dressed as puppet soldiers quickly approached, and when there were still more than 20 meters left on the courtyard wall, they were so cautious that they threw a few more grenades.
Several explosions rang out again from behind the smoke-filled courtyard walls, mixed with a few screams.
It must have been the heavy machine gun group that was reinforced, and if it weren't for these grenades, they would have reused the firing holes in the courtyard wall to continue to block the reconnaissance company.
Rushing to the edge of the courtyard wall, several scouts did not directly climb over the wall.
Five grenades tied together were placed at the foot of the courtyard wall by them, and after pulling the lead, they quickly hid aside.
The thick courtyard wall of the "Boom ......" was instantly blasted out of a gap, and the thick smoke of gunpowder quickly filled the gap, enveloping the gap tightly.
Several people slowly approached the gap, and before they could rush in, a string of bullets flew out of the gap.
If someone had been standing in the gap at that time, they would have been beaten into a sieve.
The scout's expression was not shocked, and they were already surprised by the scene in front of them.
The lead scout immediately gestured to his subordinates, and a dozen people quickly dispersed, four people hid on both sides of the gap and threw grenades inside, attracting Japanese fire, and the other soldiers split into two and touched along the courtyard wall to both sides.
After running for one or two or twenty meters, two groups cooperated with each other and slowly poked their heads out of the courtyard wall to determine the specific location of the Japanese firepower points in the courtyard.
Two minutes later, the grenadiers were carried and four grenades were fired in succession, and the gunfire in the courtyard finally stopped, and the soldiers took the opportunity to kill in the courtyard......
"General, he is incompetent and incompetent, and he did not block the attack of the Eighth Route Army!" The captain of the guard rushed into the war room in desperation to report.
There were still blood stains and a thick smell of gunpowder smoke on his body, obviously coming down from the battlefield: "The headquarters has the last line of defense left." ”
"The Eighth Route Army attacking us is too fierce, not only is it well equipped, but it is also strong in combat, according to the offensive rhythm just now, the last line of defense can last for ten minutes at most."
"The command will definitely not be able to hold it, and I beg you to transfer immediately."
The deputy chief of staff suddenly ran over, his expression unprecedentedly heavy.
"General, something happened to the Imperial Army reinforcing the command."
"The troops were attacked by unknown troops before they left the station, and the station was also surrounded by this unit."
The brigade commander was blindsided, and his stomach was full of doubts and incomprehension.
If there are dozens of enemies lurking in the city, he can still accept it.
Now hundreds of people have appeared all at once, even with heavy weapons, and the brigade commander can't accept it, racking his brains to analyze how they came here.
"There's a problem with the reinforcements going to the city after dark!" This was the only reason for the explanation that the brigade commander could think of.
"No matter how bad the intelligence department is, it is impossible for so many Eighth Route Army troops to infiltrate Baoding, and they will also bring heavy weapons into Baoding City."
"So these enemies must have entered the city before dark with reinforcements."
"Contact the garrison at the head of the city immediately, and you must not let the Imperial Alliance army go up to the city wall, they have a problem."
The deputy chief of staff also figured it out, but in the face of the brigade commander's order, he was helpless, shook his head and replied: "General, the headquarters is surrounded by the Eighth Route Corps, and we can't send any news except for the radio." ”
"The garrison of the city wall and the headquarters have always been in contact by telephone, and there is no radio."
"We can't give them orders unless we break out."
"Then break through!" The brigade commander immediately ordered.
If his judgment is correct, there is really something wrong with the Imperial Alliance army that advances into the city after dark, then they must be prevented from going up the city wall.
Otherwise, the garrison at the head of the city would be flanked by the Eighth Route Army.
No matter how strong the fortifications of Baoding were, they would lose their effectiveness, and the limited forces had to fight with the Eighth Route Army, and finally they were completely annihilated.
To the north of the city, the shelling of the garrison continued.
The captain didn't know that there was a problem with reinforcing his Imperial Army, and he hid behind the city wall and waited for the Imperial Army to come quickly.
"Boom ......"
In a violent explosion, the walls were finally blown down.
A gap more than two meters wide appeared in the city wall, revealing the loess inside.
Without the protection of the bricks of the city wall, a normal mortar shell smashing into the gap can kick up a large amount of dirt, making the gap bigger and bigger.
The captain couldn't help but have a painful expression on his face.
The city wall was still blown open, and if the gap was not blocked as soon as possible, the Eighth Route Army would definitely swarm and enter Baoding from the gap.
But the gap is not something that anyone can plug if they want to.
The gap that was finally blown up, the Eighth Route Army will definitely do everything possible to prevent the defenders from blocking the gap, and then continue to expand the gap.
Therefore, there is often not one out of ten troops tasked with plugging the gap.
It's not so much about using sandbags to plug the gaps as it's about taking human lives to fill them.
In the eyes of the captain, the Imperial Allied Army is the best candidate, after all, they have always played the role of cannon fodder here in the Imperial Army.
But now that the Imperial Association Army is not in place, he can only let the Japanese go hard.
Some people say that they can wait, at least wait for the end of the shelling to plug the gap.
This is not the case.
The city walls are all strong on the outside, and once the bricks are destroyed, the gap will be blown bigger and bigger.
If you don't cover the loess at the gap with sandbags as soon as possible, and use sandbags as wall tiles to protect the loess inside the city wall, it won't be long before the gap of two or three meters wide will become more than ten meters wide, or even dozens of meters wide, and there will be no point in plugging it again.
