Chapter 240: A Quarter of an Hour Left!

Although Hu Biao, who led the troops out of the mountains, could still carry a radio, he could still stay in the hidden area and get in touch with Lin Yashi, who stayed in the mountains, through the radio. Upon learning of the arrival of reinforcements sent by the 59th Army, Hu Biao knew that there would be another fierce battle during the day.

Through the radio he carried, Hu Biao got in touch with the reconnaissance platoon commanded by Xu Sandao from time to time. With a low-power radio, Xu Sandao also found that there were many benefits. It's also easier and faster than ever to send messages and receive commands.

Knowing that the Japanese artillery position had not been transferred, and that one of the two wing headquarters had been transferred, Hu Biao immediately instructed: "Keep an eye on that command headquarters and see what position they have moved, and don't let them run away easily!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"In addition, forward the enemy information sent by the reconnaissance platoon to General Pang. And informed that our unit has arrived at the combat position. If nothing else, they will launch a surprise attack after nightfall, so hopefully they will be prepared accordingly. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The main reason why they did not attack during the day was more that the little devils had planes to help them fight. Once it is discovered that the artillery position has been attacked, it is believed that the reinforcements of the little devils will also be quickly reinforced. And what Hu Biao wants to do is to end the artillery position of the little devil.

If you can quietly take the artillery position of the little devil, you may be able to take the opportunity to give the little devil a hard blow. If these cannons carried by the little devils can be handed over to the defenders, I believe the defenders will be very happy to receive these artillery.

There were reconnaissance platoons scattered behind enemy lines to deliver messages to Pang Bingxun's troops on the front line. Pang Bingxun, who commands the defense, can also deploy the limited forces to the most critical position. Feint in that direction, and he knows it clearly.

Seeing that the messages were verified, Pang Bingxun also said excitedly: "These guys are amazing!" I am afraid that we are much stronger than us if we only engage in enemy reconnaissance. With them passing on information, we can save a lot of worry! ”

"Commander, look at this situation, we really have to be ready to fight back at night. If you can defeat the enemy in front of you, it will be a great achievement! Let the little devil hold down and fight for so long, the brothers are holding their breath and giving the little devil a hard blow! ”

"Okay! Inform the troops on the front line and give me a hard beating. The rest of the troops who have withdrawn, let them rest for me immediately. A little later, let the troops who have withdrawn to rest and recuperate put their meals in advance, and then prepare for the attack. ”

"Yes, Throne!"

As the main force guarding Linyi, the 40th Army commanded by Pang Bingxun has suffered heavy casualties recently. If it weren't for the timely reinforcement of the 59th Army, Linyi might not have been able to hold out for too long.

It was precisely because of the arrival of reinforcements from the 59th Army that the Japanese infantry brigade attacking Linyi immediately adjusted the combat deployment and transferred an infantry wing to the area defended by the 59th Army. The other wing continued to attack Pang Bingxun's department.

It seems that the little devil does not invest many troops, but the little devil has planes in the sky to help the battle from time to time, and there are armored tanks on the ground from time to time, plus the artillery units of the Japanese army. Such a fierce offensive really made Pang Bingxun miserable.

If the artillery unit of the little devil can be defeated, and there is no threat of aircraft at night, it is also very worthwhile for Pang Bingxun to concentrate superior forces to fight the little devil for a counterattack. If you stick to it, there will be a day when you can't keep it.

After a day of fierce fighting, looking at the battle damage report sent by his subordinates, Pang Bingxun couldn't help but say: "Damn, these little devils are really ruthless!" After a daytime battle, Lao Tzu's main regiment was exhausted. ”

"Throne, it's getting dark soon, can we prepare?"

"Send a message to the Einsatzgruppen and ask them if they're ready?"

"Yes!"

Receiving the telegram from Pang Bingxun, Hu Biao said with a smile: "It seems that our General Pang is in a hurry!" It's half past five in the afternoon, give them an hour and a half to prepare. At seven o'clock, the battle began on time.

Send a report to Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou, informing us of the time of the raid. Let them ten minutes ahead and shell the wing headquarters of the little devils. Let's get the little devils up for now, and then we'll take action.

Telegraphed to General Pang and asked him to pay attention to the movements behind the little devil. If we fight, we won't have time to send them a telegram. Once there is an abnormal movement of the Japanese army on the front line, let them immediately launch a counterattack, and strive to catch the little devil by surprise! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

When Pang Bingxun received a telegram from Hu Biao and learned that Hu Biao had set his sights on the artillery position of the little devil and the location of the headquarters of the two wings, he was also very surprised: "Amazing! This is the key position of the little devil! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! But the artillery position and the Japanese command should be heavily guarded, can they really do it? ”

"Whether it can be done or not, we must also be prepared. If they can get it, then we can't miss the opportunity. If they can't get it, we don't have much to lose. As long as they move, the little devils will definitely be in chaos for a while.

The three main regiments that had been ordered to rest now began to eat and distribute the stored weapons and ammunition. As soon as the order is received, launch a counteroffensive at all costs. Send a report to the troops of the 59th Army and get them ready! ”

"Yes, Throne!"

The time of the attack was determined through the radio, and Hu Biao was also waiting quietly. The two assault teams commanded by Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou also began to infiltrate the rear of the Japanese wing headquarters to deal with the guard sentries on the periphery.

Having reached the effective range of the mortar, the two commanders personally adjusted the mortar angle. In the case of a surprise attack, they did not have time to test fire. In the event of an artillery strike, it is necessary to ensure that it can hit accurately. For this reason, it is necessary to have a full grasp of the deployment of artillery.

Looking at the time on the watch, Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou both said in unison: "The artillery is in place, and the other personnel are ready to be on alert." After emptying the shells they were carrying, they immediately evacuated to the assembly site. Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood!"

At the same time, the main force of the spy company led by Hu Biao also touched the side of the little devil's artillery position. Looking at the little devils patrolling near the position, Hu Biao took the crossbow team and began to touch the sentry, and then replaced his own patrol.

After solving the peripheral guard posts of the little devils, Hu Biao sent the sniper team out again. Once the attack starts, the first target of the sniper team is to attack the Japanese machine gunners in the front blocking position, so that the machine guns of the little devils cannot fight.

As for the assault team led by Hu Biao, they took advantage of the night to touch the side of the little devil's artillery position and prepared to launch a surprise attack. According to Hu Biao's plan, they must deal with the little devils on the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

"Prepare grenades! Listen to me! ”

The fighters lying near Hu Biao, without exception, wore homemade camouflage clothes, began to remove the grenades hanging on their bodies, unscrewed the lids, and waited for the moment when the strings were thrown out. When to start, you also have to wait for Hu Biao's order.

At the same time, the defending troops, which had been assembled and on standby, were also quietly watching the situation of the Japanese army. The Japanese army, who had been fighting fiercely for a day, was also resting at the moment, discussing whether to continue the offensive at night.

For the Japanese troops responsible for attacking Linyi, they also hoped to open this strategic route as soon as possible to reinforce the Japanese 10th Division, which was advancing towards the Taierzhuang area. Unfortunately, the stubbornness of the defenders seems to have exceeded their expectations.

When there were still fifteen minutes left before seven o'clock, Pang Bingxun, who was standing on a high ground, looked at the rear of the Japanese army in the night, and said with a little expectation: "How long is it until seven o'clock?" ”

"A quarter of an hour to go!"

"Order the troops, begin to enter the forward positions, and wait for my orders at any time. No one is allowed to attack without my orders. Once you attack, you must go forward and completely defeat the enemy in front of you! ”

"Yes, Throne!"

As the adjutant went to convey instructions, the three main regiments, which had rested for a day, soon entered the front-line position. The officers and men who had held the position for a day finally breathed a sigh of relief and could change to rest. But they don't know that they are going to counterattack tonight!

Just when Pang Bingxun and the reinforcements of the 59th Army were watching the rear of the little devil. Seeing that the time on the watch had arrived, Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou also said in a timely manner: "Pay attention to vigilance and start shelling!" Three, two, two, put! ”

With four mortars whizzing out, the headquarters of the Japanese wing, which was equipped with radio and electric lights, suddenly heard the sound of heavy shelling. After four explosions, the makeshift camp where the wing headquarters was located exploded in an instant.

"Enemy attack! It's shelling, there's an enemy sneaking in, fast! Guards, strike now! ”

When some little devil officers gave combat orders, Xu Sandao and others, who were staying in the temporary artillery position, still calmly and quickly threw shells. The two boxes of shells carried will be hit into the barracks of the little devils as quickly as possible.

Looking at the tent of the headquarters that had been reduced to a fireball, the artilleryman in charge of firing the cannon also adjusted the angle from time to time, and shot one shell after another into the team of the little devils. Looking at the little devils in the barracks, they all felt inexplicably happy.

On the other hand, Pang Bingxun, who was staying at the front line at the moment, looked at the explosion from the rear of the Japanese army, and said with a happy face: "God, they really succeeded!" I just don't know if they can kill the command of the little devils! ”

After saying this, Pang Bingxun said again: "Go to the front line immediately, I want to see if the little devils in the front line have any changes!" ”

"Yes, Throne!"

When the rear headquarters was attacked, the Japanese brigade responsible for the attack was bound to send troops back to ensure the safety of the headquarters. Once the Japanese army drew troops from the front line, Pang Bingxun was able to launch a counterattack and catch the little devil off guard.

also heard the sound of the explosion in the distance, looked at the little devil who was staying in the artillery position, and looked at the direction from which the explosion came with a stunned face, but Hu Biao said in a low voice: "Everyone, prepare!" ”

Buckling a grenade, Hu Biao waited quietly. Just when the little devil in the artillery position, attracted by the explosion in the rear, finally let out a roar of 'throwing'. One grenade after another, flew from the lurking place into the defensive positions of the Japanese army.

When the explosion sounded, the little devil who was in charge of protecting the artillery position looked at the enemy who had entered the position with a horrified expression. Although they were aware of the enemy attack, it was a little sad that the enemy who launched the surprise attack did not even give time to react.

Before they could enter the position to launch a counterattack, countless submachine guns fired in an instant, and a dense stream of bullets swept in like a torrential rain. Just when the Japanese soldiers were stunned, the bullets had already entered their bodies, leaving them in a pool of blood one by one!
