Chapter 41: A tug-of-war
Although the devils were stunned one by one, the soldiers did not have the slightest intention of promoting fairness and absoluteness, watching the devils stand in place one by one, and pulled the trigger in their hands without hesitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sudden ......" accompanied by the sound of dense gunfire.
The submachine guns held by more than a dozen soldiers swept wildly at the devils, and twenty bullets were just half fired, and the devils in front of everyone could no longer see a single one standing.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting!"
Li Han limped in, he was very unhappy, although it was just a door, but the kick just now Li Han still had a great impact on the shock, and Li Han's legs were still numb. It is precisely because of this that I was delayed for a little time, and in the end, I didn't even catch a single devil hair.
Looking at the soldiers around him who were still stunned, he couldn't believe that he had killed seven or eight devils so easily.
Li Han continued to order: "What are you still doing, clean up the battlefield immediately, take the devil's weapons, and retreat." ”
Only then did the soldiers react, and quickly gathered away all the weapons and ammunition left by the devil in the room, and at the same time, several other houses also rang out bursts of gunfire.
Seventy or eighty little devils had almost no chance to resist, and they were wiped out. And because Li Han and they are in the dark and have the advantage of geographical advantages, coupled with the suddenness of their actions, the losses are almost negligible.
From the beginning of the shelling to the end of the battle, it was only ten minutes at most, and Yoshio Nagano's reinforcements had just been assembled and ready to set off.
But don't people think that they have just won a big battle! The whole army was immersed in the joy of victory, and many people had already left the large army to go to the city to make a fortune, and when Yoshio Nagano wanted to gather reinforcements, he found that in addition to the soldiers of the garrison squadron, only the wounded soldiers were still in place.
Besides, when he heard the sound of gunfire at the beginning, His Excellency Dazuo didn't care, because the defenders of Shina had been routed head-on by them, and even the city gate had been lost, and even if there was resistance, it was only some sporadic resistance. Under the crushing of the Imperial Japanese Army, what is the little resistance of the Shina people!
However, the sound of gunfire did not disappear after a while, but became more and more intense. What particularly disturbed Yoshio Nagano was that the sound of the cannon was not the grenadier canister used by the Imperial soldiers he was familiar with, or the sound of the mortar at the Eighty.
At this time, Yoshio Nagano remembered to send reinforcements to the place where the incident occurred, and it was impossible for the guard squadron to be sent, and the city had already remembered the gunshots, and no one could guarantee that the place where he stayed was a safe place.
In case the garrison squadron is sent out, and the people come to attack him again, the joke will be bigger, and of course the wounded soldiers will not follow.
But at present, these two teams are the largest among the subordinate units of the Thirteenth Wing, and the other teams have already scattered into the city to make a fortune.
The guard squadron and the wounded soldiers can't move, which means that the direct troops of Yoshio Nagano's wing have no soldiers to send, but it will definitely not work if they don't save them, in addition to the direct troops, doesn't the thirteenth wing have two infantry brigades.
In line with the humanitarian spirit of the dead and the poor, Yoshio Nagano finally sent a large number of heralds, ordering the captains of each brigade to quickly send reinforcements, as for whether the Imperial soldiers trapped in the city can survive until the reinforcements arrive, it depends on them.
The two captains and their guard teams were still stationed in place. These two people are also the captains of the Imperial Army, and it is impossible for them to rob and rape them all over the streets like ordinary soldiers, which would be too undignified for the Imperial Army.
Of course, this does not mean that they don't want to do it, on the contrary, they are more greedy, but those uncivilized behaviors are naturally done by their soldiers, they just need to enjoy the results.
If you have to be an official and do everything yourself, then who would want to be an official just by squeezing their heads.
Dazuo's herald was very glad that the two young ministers did not leave, otherwise it would still be a trivial matter for him to break his leg, and if he was accidentally killed by the Zhina army on the road, it would be a big loss.
In fact, there is no need for Yoshio Nagano to say, how can the two young ministers who have been in the army for many years not know this military common sense, the problem is that their situation here is similar to that of the wing captain.
After this battle, the casualties of the two units were very heavy, and the officers at all levels had a lot of resentment, and if they did not take this opportunity to vent, I was afraid that the soldiers under their command would find something wrong. So except for a team left to protect their own safety, all the others were free to disband.
They would be asked to find someone for a while, but complaining was complaining, and they did not dare to disobey the orders of the wing commander, so the two captains had to honestly begin to assemble their troops.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a lot of movement in the center of the county, and the devil soldiers who entered the city also realized that the situation was not good, and began to consciously move closer together, so as not to let the captain's heralds notify them one by one.
Even so, after such a toss and turn, it finally took more than ten minutes to assemble the team, and after counting the number of people, Yoshio Nagano suddenly turned pale. There were still more than 1,300 people when they entered the city, and now there are more than 1,000 wounded.
At this time, the sound of guns and cannons in the city disappeared without a trace, needless to say, Yoshio Nagano also knew that the troops entering the city must be more than lucky.
I have to say that Li Han did Yoshio Nagano a great favor, and he has been struggling with which troops to send to support those trapped imperial soldiers.
The matter of taking Jianping County has been reported to the brigade commander at the first time, and now there are Shina defenders in the city, and more than 200 of them have been eliminated, and Nagano Yoshio's mood is like a roller coaster that suddenly descends from the top of the mountain to the ground.
It doesn't matter if people die, anyway, there is no shortage of people in the Great Japanese Empire, the main thing is that Yoshio Nagano feels that he has been slapped in the face, if he can't completely eliminate the Shina army defending the city before the main force of the brigade comes, how can he mix in the army in the future.
What's more serious is that if he is found to be a false report of his military exploits by the brigade commander, he will be dealt with seriously, and he is still a former captain of the United Branch.
"The 3rd Infantry Brigade, immediately enter the city to clear the remnants of the Chinese army, and the artillery squadron will fight with you!" Yoshio Nagano said sharply.
"Hey!"
The captain of the third brigade replied loudly, and then strode towards the headquarters of the brigade headquarters.
The 3rd Infantry Brigade suffered several major blows in a row, and at this time it was able to fight with about 600 people left, and the rest were either in the field hospital or in the arms of Amaterasu.
Despite this, the co-captain named himself to attack, and the captain had no choice but to bite the attack on the Shina people, but in his heart, he greeted all the women of Yoshio Nagano's family.
However, the battlefield was not in the field, and the devil's artillery fire was greatly suppressed, but the soldiers of the four battalions scattered in the city could make full use of various geographical advantages such as houses, walls, and secret passages, and launched a fierce battle with the devil.
The commander of the devil brandished a command knife, and the soldiers, under the cover of machine guns and grenadiers, began to eliminate our troops at fixed points house by house.
However, the power of the grenade is very limited, and it can only blow up the wooden houses, and replace them with blue brick houses.
As a last resort, the devils had no choice but to use artillery to open the way, but this tactic took effect very quickly, and all the places where the artillery passed were razed to the ground, and in just ten minutes, the devils advanced more than 200 meters.
However, it didn't take long for the captain of the devil brigade to abandon this style of play, for the simple reason that the artillery was no longer out of shells.
Although Jianping County is not a big county, there are not 1,000 houses in the county, but 800 houses, and even if a single shell can blow up a house, it will take 1,800 shells.
What's more, there are many large houses built of cement, which are tall and large, and they can't help it without dozens of shells.
This kind of consumption is not something that a resource-poor country like the Devils can support, and they occupy Rehe in order to connect it with the three eastern provinces to rule.
If the city is bombed into ruins now, it will have to be rebuilt at that time, so it is impossible for the devils to do this until the last resort, not to mention that it is the Zhina army that is now being cornered.
The artillery was useless, so they had to continue to test the infantry to attack, and soon the casualty rate of the devils was rising rapidly.
The houses on several main streets in Jianping County have long been opened by Li Han, so these houses seem to be independent, but they are all figured out.
Many times, the devils have just eliminated the defenders in a house, and before they have advanced a few steps, a few people suddenly appear in the original house and shoot black guns and throw grenades in the back.
Taking care of one or the other, the devils had no choice but to divide a small part of the troops every few tens of meters.
Since the main streets of the county town are all open, the deployment of the devil's troops, our soldiers can know at the first time, the devil left a squad of troops, and our army will send a platoon or even two platoons of troops to besiege it.
The back road is unstable, and the devils have to go back and forth for reinforcements, this back and forth, after a few hours of tug-of-war, the third brigade of the devils was completely beaten out of temper.
The devils who attacked our army's position in front suffered heavy losses, and the devils who were responsible for defending the rear road were often attacked by the superior forces of the defenders, and less than half of the devils who could really be used to continue the attack were still in force.
Li Han commanded two heavy machine guns, three mortars, and more than a hundred soldiers to block the attack of the devils near the elementary school, while Gao Jian and Huang Shan led people to choose places with fewer devils from the other two directions.
There are not many devils, and they can only leave troops in a few more important positions, anyway, these soldiers don't need to attack, and the remaining devils Cao Chang is not stupid, and he doesn't have fortifications and trenches as covers, so he uses the ready-made house as a fixed stronghold.
In this way, not only is safety guaranteed, but also you can take the opportunity to take a break, taking care of both public and private affairs, and not delaying both.
They were still tired today, and after seven or eight hours of continuous fighting, they finally took the cityhead position of the Richina army, and they thought they could have a good rest. I didn't expect the damn Zhina Army to be so uninteresting and refuse to stop for a moment.
It's a pity that these are just wishful thinking of the devils, while the main force of the devils is attacking the battalion commander's side, Huang Shan and Gao Jian seized the opportunity and each led more than 200 soldiers to attack the six squads left by the devils at the same time.
The number of devils in each squad ranged from eight to ten, and on average, each detachment was attacked by more than fifty fighters.
Huang Shan led a group of soldiers to a place where the devils stayed, in order to avoid a sudden attack by the defenders, the devils of this squad did not take the opportunity to rest with other squads, but kept patrolling all the time to ensure that they could face emergencies at the first time.
After seeing Huangshan and his party, the devil Cao Chang immediately ordered to shoot. Of course, the Huangshan side will not be polite, two machine guns suppressed the devil's firepower, and more than a dozen soldiers threw a grenade at the devil, in such a small space, the devil's detachment was killed and wounded in an instant.
