Chapter 708: Take advantage of the devil's illness and ask for his life! (Second Update!) )
The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, the heralds went in and out, and the front-line battle report was delivered to Hong Linfeng as soon as possible!
After reading the latest telegram handed over by the communications soldier, a smile finally flashed on Hong Linfeng's solemn face!
"Commander, the little devil has retreated!"
"The Japanese puppet army in the east and west of the city all retreated into the city and abandoned the city fortifications!"
"The Special Battalion and the Independent Battalion have taken the city!"
"Judging from the corpses left by the devils in the city, the devils directly lost more than three hundred people when they attacked just now, not including the corpses and light and serious injuries that the devils took away when they retreated!"
"The two battalion commanders ask for instructions, whether the troops want to enter the city and continue the attack!"
Li Hao also had a smile on his face!
Killing more than 300 devils in one assault, with this result as a foundation, judging only from the casualty ratio, the garrison regiment will not suffer a loss tonight!
If you add the little devils killed by the lurking troops in the city, the garrison regiment will definitely only make money and not lose!
Li Hao didn't answer immediately, but looked at Hong Linfeng and asked, "Is there any news of Sun Jiawu!" ”
"There is no telegram from them yet!" Hong Linfeng shook his head and replied!
Then he added: "But the gunfire in the city has not stopped, and it is everywhere, and I judge that their actions should be smooth!" ”
"Tick ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the telegraph next to him remembered the crisp sound of receiving and receiving telegrams, and the signal light began to flash constantly!
"Regiment commander, it's a telegram from the commander of the guard battalion!" Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang shouted!
Quickly picked up the headphones and put them on, and began to receive messages!
Soon, a telegram appeared in Hong Linfeng's hand!
"Commander, it's good news!"
"Sun Jiawu personally led the team to raid the little devil garrison headquarters!"
"Although the devil commander slipped away, he killed a lot of little devils!"
"After preliminary statistics, they have killed more than two hundred little devils!"
Li Hao's face returned to seriousness: "Subtract the cavalry brigade that entered the city during the day, there should be fifteen or six hundred infantry in the city!" ”
"In the street fighting in the first half of the night, more than 200 were killed, and now there are more than 500, which adds up to almost 800 people!"
"This means that there are at most 800 devil infantry and 300 cavalry in the city!"
"Although the total number of troops is still more than us!"
"But the little devils are scattered in all corners of Lingqiu City, and we can concentrate our forces to focus on attacking, breaking through each and eating them little by little!"
"So this battle has a head! If you don't say anything, continue to fight, take advantage of the devil's illness, and kill them! ”
Hong Linfeng immediately shouted: "Then I'll go and give them an order now, and the troops will continue to attack?" ”
Li Hao replied decisively: "Yes, tell them to use our tactics in the first half of the night to attack the city by climbing over the wall!" ”
"But the artillery can't be idle, keep an eye on the little devil heavy mortar unit for me!"
"A 150 mm caliber mortar, the shells alone weigh dozens of pounds!"
"Although the charge is not as large as our Flying Thunder Cannon, the power is also smaller! But for the infantry, the blow was still devastating! ”
"Our troops are all concentrated during the attack, and they must not be targeted by heavy artillery!"
"Otherwise, if a shell falls, we will have to reimburse at least one infantry squad!"
"Send a telegram back to Sun Jiawu: Keep up the good work and continue to kill devils!"
"At the same time, draw out your forces and find a way to take down the devil's ammunition depot and material warehouse!"
"The devil has been hoarding supplies for months, and the food, weapons and ammunition inside must be piled up!"
"If it can be captured, the strength of our garrison regiment will definitely be further increased, and it will be more confident to cooperate with the three main battalions to completely occupy all the villages and towns in Guangling, Hunyuan, and Laiyuan counties, and surround the three county towns and turn them into three isolated cities!
It's messy, and the entire Lingqiu City is directly beaten into a pot of porridge!
In every street, in every alley, there are gunshots!!
Although the special battalion and the independent battalion are the key attacks, the latent troops are not, and where there are devils, there will be battles!
At this time, the telegraph and telephone were all useless, and the only way for the temporary command of the Japanese army, Aoki Daisa, to know the situation on the battlefield was to listen to the gunshots!
But tonight, that didn't work!
The battlefield is so chaotic that there are gunshots everywhere!
And the garrison regiment uses exactly the same equipment as the Imperial Army, and the gunfire is the same!
It is almost impossible to judge who wins and loses in one of the firefights by the sound of gunfire!
So Aoki Daisa is in a particularly irritable mood now, the front line is a pot of porridge, and all the time there are troops that are completely annihilated, or the enemy is destroyed! But as a commander, he can't do anything, and he doesn't even know who was eliminated, like a blind man!
Aoki has been in the army for so long, and there must have been dozens of large and small battles he has commanded, but this has never happened!
I finally managed to stay up until dawn, and the chaotic gunfire in the city finally stopped!
Aoki's nerves, which had been tense for several hours, also relaxed, and he opened his mouth and ordered!
"Count the casualties of the troops immediately, the sooner the better!"
"After hours of being blind and deaf, I'm dying!"
"Also, find out if the Eighth Route Army that attacked us has retreated, especially the hidden troops hiding in the city!"
"If you don't evacuate, you have to kill them during the day today!"
"I don't want a few more Eighth Route Armies to pop up around us after dark and threaten our rear!
"Hey!"
The adjutant personally rushed out of the command!
He also worked as a blind and deaf man for several hours, and he was also very anxious, wanting to know the situation on the battlefield for the first time, especially the casualties of the troops!
With the troops here, they have a chance to hold Lingqiu City and defeat the garrison!
If the casualties of the troops are too large, it is a question of whether their lives can be saved!
As soon as they rushed out less than a hundred meters, corpses began to appear on the streets!
But most of them were imperial troops, and only a small number of them wore the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army!
The further he went, the more solemn the adjutant's face became!
"Report to the commander, report to the captain of the third squad of the fourth squadron!" A courtyard gate was pushed open, and a dozen devils came over with a second lieutenant in their arms!
With a strong smell of gunsmoke, their bodies and military uniforms were also blackened with black smoke, which meant that they had just experienced a bloody battle!
The adjutant subconsciously asked, "How many people are there under your hands!" ”
The second lieutenant lowered his head and replied, "That's all there is left!" ”
"Our squad is responsible for defending this section of the street, the enemy is too cunning, all over the wall to attack us, not at all on the street!"
"The warriors couldn't guard against it, and many people were shot in the back and killed without even seeing the enemy's shadow!"
"I took everyone to defend the courtyard just now to avoid the enemy's sneak attack, and I have persevered until now!"
The adjutant was blinded, and a bad premonition quickly popped up in his mind!
This is the center of the city, and the casualties of the troops are so large!
Those who are a little farther away from the center of the city, or who are attacked by the garrison, will not suffer greater casualties!
Listen to the gunshots, those positions are the densest, and the battle is definitely more intense!
The adjutant didn't dare to think about it, and his face became more and more solemn!
