Chapter 552: The General as a Bait (Second Update!) )
"Sir, the grenadiers suffered heavy casualties, the siege artillery of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, there was no way to hide from the city, there was no way to set up artillery to shoot, and if you stood up, you would be blown to death!" The report of his subordinates brought the squadron leader back to reality!
Just now, all the grenadiers were half-squatting in the open space at the head of the city, and the cannonballs suddenly smashed over, and they were the first to bear the brunt of the explosion!
If memory serves, the soldier who was only half of his body after being bombed was a grenadier!
A flash of heartache quickly flashed on the squadron leader's pale face, and then ordered?
"All the grenadiers left the city, and the open space at the head of the city could no longer stay, they all hid behind the city wall and continued to fire grenades, the grenadiers are curved artillery, which can cross the city wall to hit the enemy outside the city!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Before the order was given, the second round of mortar shells fired by the Separate Regiment had already smashed over!
In the violent explosion, many soldiers were blown over, screaming and falling to the ground, life and death unknown!
At this time, the best solution to the problem of shelling is for everyone to leave the city, hide behind the city walls, and come back when the shelling is over!
The squadron leader also thought so, but Li Hao didn't give him this chance!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked us outside the city, did not stop or retreat, and continued to approach the city, attacking us!" A second lieutenant shouted!
"Nani?"
The squadron leader shouted with an incredulous expression: "Attacking us under such fierce artillery fire, aren't they afraid of blowing up their own people?" These Eighth Route Army are too ruthless! ”
A second lieutenant who knew a little about artillery hesitated and reminded: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and their artillery position is arranged in a bush less than five hundred meters outside the city. With such a close firing distance, as long as the gunner is trained, he can completely control the shooting error to within ten meters! ”
"The Eighth Route Army attacking us can approach more than ten meters outside the city under the cover of artillery fire, and there is no need to worry about accidental injury!"
"It's over!"
These two words popped into the squadron leader's head!
Then he shouted: "At a distance of more than ten meters, they can rush to the foot of the city wall, rush to the city gate hole, and then blow up the city gate." If we retreat behind the city walls now, we won't even have time to react when the shelling stops, how can this battle be fought! ”
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, these Eighth Route Army are really cunning enough, they actually thought of placing artillery at such a close distance, aren't they worried about us counterattacking?"
After saying this, a wry smile appeared directly on the squadron leader's pale face, and then he retorted to himself!
"No, we simply can't fight back!"
"Everything here is calculated by the Eighth Route Army, they know that we don't have artillery, so they dare to deploy artillery at such a close range!"
"Order the troops to defend the city, we can hold it for as long as we can!"
"Also, report to the general immediately, we have been fooled!"
"The artillery units of the separate regiment were not destroyed at all, and not a single unit was bombed."
"Now they are shelling the south gate with mountain artillery and mortars, and the reserves are suffering heavy casualties. I don't know how long I can hold on, so please find a way right away! ”
As soon as the order was given, the squadron leader began to throw grenades outside the city!
Hiding behind the stomping, the riflemen, machine gunners, who were still alive, followed and threw grenades out to prevent the Eighth Route Army from approaching the city walls!
Mountain artillery shells, mortar shells, and grenade grenades flew at close range, and they kept falling like rain, kicking up a lot of black smoke and blowing up one living devil after another!
As long as the shelling continues, the Japanese puppet army in the city is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!
The Japanese brigade headquarters, the commander of the major general's brigade has always maintained a calm and calm expression!
A hint of panic flashed on his nervous and serious face from time to time!
Although it was several hundred meters away from the South Gate, they could still distinguish the explosions of mountain artillery and mortar shells!
In an instant, the brigade commander reacted and was fooled!
As soon as the acting chief of staff put down the microphone, he reported with a calm face: "General, the guards report that the Eighth Route Army has assembled a large number of mountain artillery and mortars to attack them at close range, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties, so I request support!" ”
"Report to the general, the north gate was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the opponent's offensive firepower is very fierce, the troops have begun to suffer casualties, it is impossible to draw troops to reinforce the south gate!" Another staff officer ran over and reported!
"The East Gate can't draw troops!" A staff officer followed!
Hearing this, the brigade commander who had no troops to use was also panicked, stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked, "Is there any troops in the city that can be transferred!" ”
The deputy chief of staff hurriedly replied: "All the troops that can be used are on the battlefield, only the ammunition depot, the material warehouse, and the guard troops of the command headquarters are left, a total of more than forty people!" ”
"There is no one left, all reinforcements to the South Gate!" The brigade commander decisively ordered!
The deputy chief of staff's eyes widened, and then showed a pair of eyes of disbelief, and it took a long time to react: "General, this way." Lingqiu City does not have a single soldier of the imperial army, if the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the city sneak attack these places, it will definitely be lost! ”
The brigade commander replied angrily: "Lingqiu City is gone, what are we doing with the ammunition depot and material warehouse!" ”
"At that time, the troops will directly blow up the material warehouse and ammunition depot, and the Eighth Route Army that we can't get will not be able to think of it!"
"As for the brigade command, immediately arm all the logistics personnel, clerks, and staff officers, and all of us will go to the battlefield at a critical moment!"
"Now we have only one goal, to defend the south gate, and we must not let the Eighth Route Army enter Lingqiu and drag them out of the city!"
"Also, send a telegram to the front-line sweeping troops, asking them to give up all their baggage and march back to Lingqiu City in a hurry!"
"Send a telegram to the military department, Lingqiu City is attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the county town is in danger, please contact the aviation to reinforce us as soon as it is dawn!"
"Originally, I also planned to consume a large number of independent regiment troops by defense, and by the way, buy time for the front-line sweeping troops, completely destroy their base area, and then return to Lingqiu, kill them back and forth, and completely solve the independent regiment!"
"Now it seems that this plan has to be interrupted, our opponents are so cunning that they have laid us such a big game that we mistakenly think that they have lost their troops and their artillery is gone! What we saw and heard...... Everything is an illusion. We have been deceived, and after being fooled, we are triumphant, and we think victory beckons to us! ”
"Now if you want to kill two birds with one stone, there is no chance for the independent regiment to be completely solved!"
"However, even if I fight for this life and lose it in Lingqiu, I will kill the main force of the Independent Regiment here!"
Speaking of this, the brigade commander also became murderous, and continued to order with a frown: "Tell the reinforcement troops and the military headquarters that from now on, I, the brigade commander of the major general, will be the bait, dragging the main force of the independent regiment here!" ”
"If they are reinforced in time, my bait may still be alive! If the reinforcements are late, not only will my bait be gone, but the main force of the independent regiment will also run away, and in the end, both people and money will be lost! ”
