Half an hour later, the adjutant returned, and brought back the bad news that Aoki Daisa wanted to commit suicide!

"Sir, the casualties have been counted!"

"After a night of bloody fighting, we still have more than 460 infantry left to continue fighting, including the headquarters guard unit, ammunition depot and material warehouse guard unit ......"

"The cavalry brigade of more than 280 people has no casualties, and it is stationed next to the headquarters!"

"The heavy mortar brigade lost three guns, and nine are still available!"

"Weapons and ammunition are very abundant because of our months of reserves!"

Aoki Osa stared at the adjutant with a pair of big eyes, and was directly stunned in place, and it took a long time to react!

Unexpectedly, this time he was surprisingly calm and didn't lash out!

After a few days of fighting, he had unconsciously become accustomed to the surprise of the garrison, to their various novel tactical tactics, and even to the casualties that a battle brought to himself that was impossible to cause in a previous decisive battle!

So in the face of this unexpected casualty, he calmed down after only a brief shock!

He calmly asked, "What about the garrison that attacked us?" Is there a retreat? Especially the lurking troops of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the city! ”

"Retreat!" The adjutant hastened to answer!

Then he added with certainty: "The humble duty asked the troops to search it, and not a single Eighth Route Army was found in the city, and some troops saw them cross the city and withdraw from Lingqiu City!" ”

Aoki Daisa's eyes immediately became hot, and he looked at the map and replied, "Just withdraw!" ”

"Contact the aviation immediately, get there as soon as possible, and ensure that no garrison regiment attacks us during the day!"

"Order the troops to rest and replenish their strength immediately, there will be a fierce battle waiting for them tonight!"

"This time I must defeat the garrison and avenge the imperial army that died in battle!"

"Order the cavalry brigade to act, and give me a careful search of Lingqiu City again to make sure that there is no Eighth Route Army in it!"

"Finally, contact the military department and confirm when they will be able to replenish our second batch of heavy mortars and ammunition!"

The adjutant hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Sir, there are only more than 400 infantry left, we continue to counterattack the garrison regiment tonight as planned, will the number of troops be too small!" ”

Aoki Osa confidently replied, "Enough!" ”

"We have suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the garrison regiment are definitely not small!"

"More than 400 infantry counterattacked under the cover of heavy mortars, and the cavalry followed closely behind and assaulted, even if there were still a thousand people in the garrison besieging us, we could easily kill them!"

"Carry out the order, tonight I will be ashamed and take revenge!"

After saying that, Aoki Daisa closed his mouth again, looked at the map and fell into deep thought!

The continuation of the counteroffensive was not an impulsive act on his part, but a deliberate decision

He has a lot of experience in command and combat, and one of the reasons why he suffered losses for two nights in a row was that he did not understand the opponent and underestimated the enemy!

One reason is that several of the orders he gave were decided on impulse, not well thought out, and there were many loopholes, and then he let the opponent take advantage of the loopholes!

There is also a last reason that the opponent is too cunning, and all kinds of bizarre playing styles make it impossible for them to guard against it!

Now after two days of fighting, whether it is the strength of the garrison regiment, the combat style, or the command style of the commander of the garrison regiment, he has enough understanding, and he will definitely not underestimate the enemy again!

After a series of failures, I have completely calmed down from my anger and impulsiveness, and I will definitely not make any more impulsive decisions!

As for the cunning of the commander of the garrison regiment, as long as the military department replenishes its own follow-up artillery in place, then it will not be a problem!

He firmly believes that no matter how cunning the conspiracy is, it will be vulnerable in the face of absolutely powerful strength!

As long as the heavy artillery is in place, you will have absolute strength to crush your opponent!

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment outside Lingqiu City, Hong Linfeng followed behind Li Hao, looking puzzled, and asked as he walked!

"Regiment commander, I don't understand why the troops stopped attacking!"

"We and the devil have already been mixed up, even if the little devil kills it at dawn, he won't dare to bomb!"

"We can continue to fight and take Lingqiu City in one go!"

Li Hao thought for a moment and analyzed with a serious face: "What about casualties? Fighting during the day, the situation is definitely more favorable to the little devils, how can our casualties be controlled! ”

"What about the supplies, weapons and ammunition that the devils have hoarded in the city?"

"Last night, the devils were heavily guarded, and there was no guard unit from the material warehouse and arsenal, and the latent troops had no chance to do it if they wanted to, and they were afraid that the devil dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, and blow up those treasures at the last moment!"

"After dawn, we will definitely have no chance to quietly take down the material warehouse and ammunition depot!"

"What's more, there are little devils staring at it in the sky!"

"Even if we get lucky enough to take it down, after the devil knows that he can't take it back, he will definitely send planes to blow them up from the sky!"

"When the time comes, we won't get anything except a Lingqiu City that has been bombed into ruins, and the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Seeing Hong Linfeng's thoughtful expression, Li Hao continued: "There is another very important point! ”

"I fell in love with the heavy mortars that the little devils are equipped with!"

"As far as I know, the large-caliber mortar that the little devil is currently equipped with is only one hundred and fifty millimeters, and the firing range of this mortar is more than three thousand meters, and the whole gun weighs more than 1,000 catties, which is about the same as the mountain artillery we are equipped!"

"The range is long enough, the explosive power of the shell is more than twice that of ordinary mountain artillery, and if it is used well on the battlefield, it can definitely bring a devastating blow to the Japanese army, which is very suitable for us!"

"If it can be captured, our mountain artillery battalion can be upgraded to a veritable heavy artillery battalion!"

"Fighting during the day, it's very difficult to sneak attack, I'm worried that the devil will jump over the wall at the last moment and blow it up!"

"Another worry is that the devil's planes in the sky, even if we succeed in capturing them, they can bomb from the sky, further increasing the difficulty for us to successfully capture these mortars!"

Speaking of this, Li Hao's words changed: "But if the attack time is moved to the evening, these problems will not exist!" ”

"First of all, the plane threat is gone!"

"Second, under the cover of night, as long as we consume some little devils, we have the opportunity to quietly take down the material warehouse, arsenal, and the heavy mortar I just saw through a sneak attack, and don't give the devil dog a chance to jump off the wall!"

"Really!"

Hong Linfeng suddenly shouted, and there was an expression of admiration on his face!

It's still too inconsiderate to think about the problem yourself, thinking of this and ignoring that, compared with the head of the regiment, it's more than a little bit worse!

Li Hao continued: "There is a third one! ”

"Most of our troops are hiding inside the city, but the little devils definitely don't know about it, and will think that we are all out of the city!"

"After dark, the key defensive direction of the devils will definitely be outside the city, and the inside will become very empty!"

"The latent troops suddenly killed from all corners of the city, and they will definitely be able to catch the devils off guard, and they will kill the devils in the face at the moment of fighting, and it is possible to directly take the devil's material warehouse and ammunition depot!"
