Chapter 388: Attack without an order

The firing of seventeen guns ceased, and the divisions of the 1st Regiment were still not given the order to siege the city, and the soldiers became impatient.

In a small village outside the Nancheng Gate of Baode County, the regimental headquarters of the first reserve regiment has been set up here, and there are no civilians in the village for a long time, and the troops of the guard company have also been stationed in the village with the regimental headquarters to protect the safety of the village.

Tian Wu, the commander of the engineer company, came to the regiment headquarters, he stood in front of Sun Weiguo to report the situation of the minefield, and at the same time he handed over the mines he had dug to Sun Weiguo to inspect, and expressed his judgment.

"The little devils have set up a minefield, no wonder they have been provoking us, Commander, these little devils are a little different from those little devils we met before, it seems that they are a difficult character."

Zhao Lerong glanced at the mine, and then he said softly.

"Before, Director Zhu said that there was something wrong here, and I didn't care about it at first, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed a bit abnormal here, we marched to Baode County at night, and only appeared under the county town after dawn, and the Japanese army could not deploy the minefield so quickly, unless they had long expected that we would come here."

Sun Weiguo looked at the map, his face showed a solemn expression, for many people, Sun Weiguo is very bold, he often makes shocking battle plans, but those who know Sun Weiguo know that only when he is sure, Sun Weiguo will carry out the risky battle plan.

There was a suspicion here in Baode County, the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army attracted Sun Weiguo's attention, and the words of Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff, made Sun Weiguo begin to pay attention to it, and Sun Weiguo still did not give a plan to attack the county seat of Baode County.

"The Japanese infantry squadron and cavalry squadron that entered Lan County evacuated quickly, as if they were afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by us, there are no Japanese troops in Lan County, and no one will know about our actions, how can the Japanese army know our actions in advance?"

Shen Wei also said with a puzzled face, her eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Seeing Shen Wei's gaze, Sun Weiguo knew that Shen Wei was suspicious of Fan Shuming, but Sun Weiguo shook his head.

Fan Shuming is now transferred to the guard company as the deputy company commander, he is far away from the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo and others' plans Fan Shuming is impossible to know, not to mention that before the troops march, even the battalion commanders do not know where the real goal of the troops is.

Qin Xianliang, who was originally guarding Fan Shuming, was transferred to the third battalion as the battalion commander, and the task of guarding Fan Shuming fell on Yue Wu, the commander of the guard company.

Yue Wu was born in the Whampoa Military Academy, Sun Weiguo trusted Yue Wu very much, and he believed that Yue Wu would not let Fan Shuming leak any information about the First Preparatory Regiment.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, will the Japanese army calculate in advance that we will not attack Baode County, so they are prepared in advance. The fact that the Japanese army was able to grow rapidly in a short period of time shows that the Japanese are not simple. Zhu Jianwei continued.

Japan is an island country, and in the past, Japan, like China, was also oppressed by European and American powers, but the Japanese worked hard to become strong and quickly leapt into the ranks of great powers in a short period of time, which obviously shows that there are wise people among the Japanese.

It is naturally possible for an excellent commander to appear in the Japanese army, and it makes perfect sense that the other side will make changes in response to Sun Weiguo's tactics.

"It seems that some officers in the Japanese army have made adjustments to our tactics, after the Japanese army entered the county seat, they have never had the practice of gathering the main force in the county seat, this time the Japanese army will gather the main force in the county seat, it must be aimed at us, they set up minefields in advance, obviously the Japanese army has already expected that we will attack Baode County."

Sun Weiguo stood in front of the map, looking at the map hanging on the wall, Sun Weiguo said calmly Chinese breath.

When everyone heard Sun Weiguo's analysis, they showed shocked expressions on their faces, and then they looked at Sun Weiguo one after another.

"Immediately get in touch with Sun Ziyuan, ask him to take the fourth battalion to pay attention to vigilance, and quickly get in touch with the regiment headquarters if he finds any situation. In addition, let the reconnaissance company carry out operations and search the whole county of Baode County, and do not let go of any corner, the Japanese army will not leave a brigade in the county seat. ”

Sun Weiguo immediately issued an order, and then the herald began to convey Sun Weiguo's order to the reconnaissance company, and Luo Hongyi arranged personnel to send a telegram to Sun Ziyuan.

"Boom, boom." As soon as Sun Weiguo's words fell, the sound of a shell exploding came.

Immediately after that, the fierce gunfire began to sound, and when he heard the gunfire outside, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly.

He knew a lot about the equipment of the first regiment, and Sun Weiguo knew that his troops were firing at this gunshot.

"What's going on?" Sun Weiguo asked with a displeased face.

"Regiment commander, the second battalion and the little devils are fighting, the second battalion is storming the county seat, and the first and third battalions are also in operation."

Luo Hongyi, the commander of the communications company, immediately dispatched heralds to check the situation, and after learning about the situation on the front line, Luo Hongyi immediately made a report.

After hearing the report, Sun Weiguo immediately came to the outside of the regiment headquarters, he quickly climbed to the roof, and looked towards the county seat with a telescope.

The three battalions had already launched an attack, and the light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese city wall also began to strafe, and the artillery commander Li Jiaxin saw that the soldiers of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns had paid a lot of casualties, and he began to command the artillery to participate in the battle.

Now the two sides are in the middle of a battle, even if Sun Weiguo does not plan to attack the county seat, but he can not give an order to retreat, morale can be boosted, but not discouraged, at this time if Sun Weiguo gives an order to retreat, it will have a great impact on the morale of the officers and soldiers.

"Who gave the battle order?" Sun Weiguo asked angrily.

He didn't know that Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the second battalion, was a short-tempered man, and after the artillery of the first regiment carried out some shelling, the Japanese second lieutenant, who was not killed, once again picked up the tin horn to provoke.

WANG TIENIU HELD A LIGHT MACHINE GUN AND HIT A SHUTTLE DIRECTLY, AND THEN ATTRACTED THE JAPANESE GRENADIER MINIATURE GRENADE ATTACK, THE SECOND BATTALION OF EACH COMPANY DIRECTLY UNDER THE MACHINE GUN SQUAD BEGAN TO COUNTERATTACK, THREE 60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE SHELLS, RETALIATORY FIRE ON THE JAPANESE ARMY.

As the machine gun squad of the three infantry companies began to shoot, the machine gun company positions deployed in front of the starting position of the second battalion began to fire, and the three Makqin heavy machine guns fired suppressively at the city wall, and Wang Tieniu, deputy commander of the second battalion, immediately commanded the fifth company to attack.

The 5th Company launched an attack, the 6th and 7th Companies of the 2nd Battalion immediately began to cover, and the 2nd Battalion began to attack directly on the South Gate of Baode County without receiving an order to attack.
