Chapter 1290: Beginning the Counteroffensive (Second Update!) )
"The commander of the division, the aviation corps reported that it was almost dark, and they must return immediately!" Suddenly, a communications staff officer rushed in and reported.
Lieutenant General Kato hesitated for a moment and replied: "The troops have already entered the city, and the most likely thing to fight next is street fighting, and they are not needed at all!" ”
"Agree to return, the assault force will occupy the gap immediately, and the follow-up troops will press up, and the Eighth Route Army in the city must not be driven out again!"
In Linfen City, devils in khaki military uniforms, armed with rifles with bayonets, poured in through the gaps in the city walls like floods.
One hundred, two hundred......
More and more devils rushed into the city, and continued to attack along the city, intending to take a piece of occupation near the gap.
Suddenly, a bunker piled up with sandbags stood in front of the devils, a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns, impressively erected on the bunker, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at them.
"Baga, lie down immediately and hide~" The leader of the devil squad shouted anxiously.
"Da Da Da ......"
The reaction speed of the Eighth Route Army behind the bunker was faster, and the dense gunfire rang out all at once.
The bullets quickly formed an airtight barrage in front of the devils, and then pounced on them.
More than a dozen devils had already fallen half of them before they could react from the shock.
"Quick, occupy the courtyard next to it, hold here, and cover the follow-up troops into the city!" A devil squadron leader reacted quickly and shouted loudly.
"Da Da Da ......"
Dozens of subordinates were holding rifles, and they were just about to hit the door, when the door opened by itself, along with three black hole barrels and more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
"Da Da Da ......"
As soon as the devils were stunned, the sound of gunfire reached their ears, and bullets flew over, beating them into a sieve!
On the courtyard walls on both sides of the street, suddenly a lot of heads appeared.
Light machine guns, submachine guns, set on the courtyard wall, and set fire to the devils who are so unobstructed on the street.
The riflemen were more direct and did not shoot, grenades and grenades were thrown at them like money.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, we were fooled, retreat immediately, this is the trap of the Eighth Route Army!" One of the devil captains who entered the city was the first to wake up.
However, Xiao Yunshan did not give him this opportunity.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
As soon as the three flares were lifted into the air, the screeching of shells across the sky rang out over the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the captain turned around, an explosion sounded in the gap in the wall less than twenty meters away from him.
More than a dozen shells smashed into the gap at the same time, and dozens of soldiers who were rushing into the city through there were instantly drowned in the artillery fire.
"It's over~"
The captain's face turned pale directly, and he shouted in pain.
"Sir, there is a counter-assault of the Eighth Route Army in the Eight Cities, and the firepower is very strong, we can't stop it at all, and it will collapse at the first touch!"
"The Eighth Route Army is trying to eat us!" The captain shouted in despair.
Then he drew his command knife and ordered: "Order the troops, fight to the death, and hold them down!" ”
"Contact the division commander, we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in the city, suffered heavy losses, and urgently needed reinforcements!"
"If the follow-up troops can kill the artillery of the Eighth Route Army and come in quickly, we will have a chance to live! If not, we'll have to die here! ”
Zhong Chenggong stood inside the command headquarters, nervous and very nervous.
Xiao Yunshan's plan, he agreed.
If the plan is successful, the troops will be able to successfully kill hundreds of little devils and ease the fierce offensive of the Japanese army.
Once the plan fails, a street fight is inevitable.
"Chief of Staff, our troops have begun a counteroffensive, the little devils who entered the city have collapsed, and our plan has succeeded!" A staff officer suddenly rushed over and reported.
"Chief of Staff, the artillerymen have blocked the gap with artillery fire. However, the artillery of the devils has already begun to fight back! Another staff officer rushed in and added.
Zhong Chenggong's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed again.
At this moment, a great news was finally expected by him.
"Chief of Staff, the devil plane has retreated?"
"Are you sure!" Zhong Chenggong stared at his subordinates and asked rhetorically.
"Sure, all planes are back!" The staff officer replied in the affirmative.
"God help me!" Zhong Chenggong smiled and shouted very happily.
"Then what are you waiting for, immediately contact the artillery, immediately open fire on the Japanese troops rushing to the gap outside the city, I want to break those little devils to pieces!"
At the headquarters of the new regiment outside Linfen City, Wang Ping also received the same news.
A pair of eyes became hot, and he immediately ordered: "Artillery, fire the cannon immediately, and give me the artillery position arranged by the devil outside the city~"
"The attacking troops can come out, and immediately launch a surprise attack on the Japanese troops outside Linfen City, and surround them for me."
"This time, a little devil can't run away, I'm going to annihilate them all!"
At the headquarters of the Japanese army outside Linfen City, Lieutenant General Kato was dumbfounded, almost not believing what he was seeing.
It was a good situation just now, but in the blink of an eye, such a big reversal occurred.
Not to mention that the troops could not enter Linfen City, half of the infantry brigade that had already entered the city could be completely annihilated at any time under the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army.
The troops he has lost in the past few hours this afternoon have been enough, and even if he loses another soldier, Kato is very distressed.
"Division commander, this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, and our troops entering the city must be finished!" The chief of staff analyzed with a calm face.
"What about artillery? Fire the cannon immediately, I will kill the Eighth Route Army in the city! Like an angry lion, Kato roared loudly.
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and reminded: "The division commander is angry, we are separated from the city by a city wall, and we don't know what is going on inside, even if we open fire, it will be blind shooting, and the shells will be wasted." ”
"Then let the air force come and blow it up!" Kato continued to shout.
"The Eighth Route Army is besieging our troops entering the city, and now is the best time to take them out!"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "The aviation has already retreated just now, and when it retreated, it used up all the ammunition, even if it comes back, it will have no effect!" ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded above them, and then they saw several huge fireballs rising from the artillery position not far away.
The head of the Kato Division, the chief of staff, and several other staff officers, their faces turned pale in the blink of an eye.
"It's mountain artillery, the mountain artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army outside the city has opened fire, they have a mountain artillery group, and the artillery position must be transferred immediately!" Kato was the first to react and shouted anxiously.
"Why don't you go and give the order, do you want to see all our remaining artillery destroyed?"
As soon as the staff officers rushed out, an even denser scream was already ringing above them.
At least fifty fireballs rose from the artillery position in an instant, densely packed, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of the artillery position was covered by artillery fire!
