Chapter 632: The People Are Shields

Whether it was the Japanese army dispatching planes to prepare to come to Xiyang County to bomb the troops of the New Second Brigade, or the First Brigade of the melee entering Pingding County, these two things were not good news for Sun Weiguo.

Although he was a little worried, the First Brigade of the melee still could not threaten the troops of the New Second Brigade in a short period of time, and the Japanese planes were a headache for Sun Weiguo, and the troops of the New Second Brigade had no way to stop the bombing of the Japanese planes.

At this time, China is unable to produce its own aircraft, it is completely dependent on imports, the cost of aircraft is not cheap, hundreds of planes of the Chinese army are all the family base, after fighting one will be one less, but the Japanese army can continue to replenish, not to mention that now that the Battle of Wuhan broke out, the few remaining planes of the Chinese army were all put into the Wuhan battlefield.

The Japanese planes made Sun Weiguo very helpless, but there was no way to change it, the troops could not give up the battle because the Japanese were well-armed, even if they braved the bombing of the Japanese planes, the battle still had to be fought, and the Chinese troops' operations against the Japanese army were completely piled up with human lives.

Why do Chinese troops lose so many people in every battle, because if the Chinese troops want to blow up a Japanese tank, they have to pay the price of dozens of people, and if each company of the Chinese troops can be equipped with an anti-tank gun, even if it is an anti-tank gun, no one will be willing to exchange the lives of dozens of people for destroying a Japanese tank.

"Brigadier Commander, look." Hearing these two news, Sun Weiguo fell into deep thought, and at this time, Liu Ke, the chief of staff of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, exclaimed.

Sun Weiguo raised the telescope and looked at the county seat of Xiyang County pointed by Liu Ke's finger, Sun Weiguo's face turned pale, and he held the telescope tightly with his right hand.

"These turtle grandsons, if they can't beat them, they will play such a trick, and they have the ability to come at us, what kind of ability is it to use ordinary people as shields."

"The little devil is too fucking not a thing, how can we fight like this, brigade commander, what should we do now."

The two officers couldn't help but curse angrily, and their eyes looked angrily towards the county seat of Xiyang County.

At this time, on the city wall of the county seat of Xiyang County, a large number of people wearing shabby clothes were pushed to the city wall, and the light and heavy machine guns of the devil soldiers were hidden among these people.

The little devils used the common people of Xiyang County as shields, so that the light and heavy machine guns and artillery of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment would not play any role at all.

As long as the Sixth Cavalry Regiment dares to fire a cannonball, a cannonball will hit it, killing the little devils and innocent people.

The troops resisted the invasion of the little devils for the sake of these people, only when the people are there, the country exists, and the people are all killed, even if there is a big land, what is the use?

"Brigade Commander, the little devils are too ruthless, that is, these brutes can do such a thing, what should we do now."

Yin Jinshan, the head of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the Sixth Regiment, saw the common people on the city wall, and the two of them immediately came to Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo's face was pale, he held a telescope and looked coldly at the deployment of the Japanese army on the city wall, and when he heard Yin Jinshan's inquiry, Sun Weiguo put down the telescope.

The Japanese troops can do anything, they will release poison gas bombs when they encounter a position that they cannot overcome, they will slaughter prisoners of war in front of the position, and they will slaughter the Chinese people like ants.

Qin Yashang, the commander of the Lieutenant General Brigade of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, knew that he would definitely not be able to hold the county seat of Xiyang County with an infantry brigade, so with his acquiescence, the devil soldiers of the 20th Brigade drove the people in the city to the city wall, and they used the people as shields to resist the attack of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.

Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng's faces became solemn, now that there are ordinary people on the city wall, all the firepower advantages of the six regiments have been neutralized.

If you want to conquer the county seat of Xiyang County, you can only charge with infantry and start a white-knuckle battle with the little devils.

The advantage of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment is that there are many mobile troops, the armored battalion and the cavalry battalion are able to quickly and maneuver in combat, and the siege of the city was originally their weakness, and now there are civilians on the city wall, and the tanks of the armored battalion cannot use artillery and machine gun fire, and a group of armored soldiers can not charge with a rifle.

The machine gun company of the cavalry battalion was a reinforced machine gun company, with a lot of artillery and light and heavy machine guns, but now, the heavy weapons of the machine gun company have become ornaments, and they cannot shoot.

The armored battalions, cavalry battalions, and mounted artillery battalions of the 6th Cavalry Regiment were unable to attack, and whether they fired shells or machine-gun fire, they would accidentally injure innocent civilians.

The only ones who could fight were the Jibu Battalion, and the heavy weapons of the Jibu Battalion could not be used, so they could only charge with rifles and engage in white-knuckle combat with the Japanese army.

A battalion of hundreds of men went to attack the county seat, and it was too risky to use heavy weapons.

Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng were asking Sun Weiguo's opinion, but they already had an idea in their hearts, that is, to evacuate Xiyang County.

"Listen to the troops of the new Second Brigade of China, these are all your people, as long as you dare to shoot with artillery, your people will be killed together with the officers and soldiers of the imperial army, isn't your Eighth Route Army on good terms with the people? I don't think you want to see the people killed by the shells of your own country's troops, so the commander of our brigade asked me to tell the troops of the new Second Brigade that as long as you evacuate Xiyang County, we promise that we will not harm the people in the county seat, and if you launch a strong attack, the people of Xiyang County will be buried with the officers and soldiers of the imperial army. ”

A tin horn was erected on the city wall, and a Japanese officer shouted loudly in proficient Chinese.

Sun Weiguo held the telescope in his right hand, he looked at the county seat of Xiyang County, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Evacuation is undoubtedly the best option, and now the 6th Cavalry Regiment can turn around and flank the Japanese troops in the vicinity of Lijiazhuang Town.

But evacuating now is tantamount to letting go of the fat that came to the mouth, and a brigade headquarters of the Japanese army slipped away under the eyelids.

The most important point is that the Japanese army successfully used the common people to force out the troops of the New Second Brigade this time, what about the next time?

As long as the Japanese army tastes the sweetness this time, they will definitely use the same trick next time.

At the beginning of 918, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army played with their lives to fight the Kwantung Army, even if they were defeated, the little devils would learn a lesson.

It was precisely because the Northeast Army withdrew, and the little devils captured a large area of land without much effort, and they tasted the sweetness, so they dared to continue to invade China.

The troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment can be evacuated now, but as long as the little devils taste the sweetness, they will still use civilians to threaten the troops of the New 2nd Brigade next time.

"The cadres above the class level of the infantry battalion immediately assembled, and the cavalry battalion, armored battalion, and cavalry artillery battalion stopped crossing the river and stood by in place." Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.
