Chapter 156: An Impossible Counterattack (Ask for Collection)
"Retreated...... Battalion commander, Lao Maozi has retreated......" An exclamation full of excitement sounded directly beside Zhang Shanlin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Maybe it was because the casualties were too great, or maybe it was because Lao Maozi's attacking troops were not ready to fight for their lives with the defenders.
On both flanks of the battlefield, Lao Maozi's remaining platoon finally retreated.
As soon as the old Maozi on both wings retreated, the old Maozi who was feinting head-on retreated.
Soon, the two company commanders, Wang Bo and Li Xiaohu, found Zhang Shanlin with a face full of gunsmoke.
After seeing Zhang Shanlin, the two of them didn't say a word of nonsense, and said directly.
"Battalion commander...... We want soldiers, Lao Maozi's attack is too fierce, and without reinforcements, we will definitely not be able to stop Lao Maozi's next attack......"
Zhang Shanlin nodded, and asked in a heavy tone: "Wang Bo, how many people do you still have in your hands......
"Take me, there are 42 ...... that can still move," Wang Bo said with a heartache on his face.
Because, in just two hours, more than 100 brothers died in their hands.
Maybe he felt Zhang Shanlin's gaze at him, but before Zhang Shanlin could speak, Li Xiaohu said with the same heartache expression: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I still have 40 brothers here who can continue to fight......"
Hearing this, Zhang Shanlin did not give any reply to the two. Instead, he said with the same heartache expression: "I have 159 brothers here, including me, and none of them are even ......."
"As for the headquarters behind us, except for fifty defensive warehouses and recruits on the back road, there is not a single soldier who has ......"
"What do you want me to give you with these troops?"
There was no hope for the soldiers, and the two of them could only pin their hopes on the commander who had no shadow yet.
As soon as Zhang Shanlin finished speaking, Li Xiaohu asked, "Battalion commander...... What about the commander, when will the commander's reinforcements arrive......"
Although Zhou Zhongju gave the command of the headquarters to Zhang Shanlin, everyone, including Zhou Zhongju, did not know when the commander would come back.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Shanlin has no other way than to be silent.
Just when the two of them slowly became more and more embarrassed because of Zhang Shanlin's hesitation, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded behind everyone......
"Zhang Shanlin, Li Xiaohu, aren't you looking for me? I'm right behind you right now......"
Yang Xingguo's sudden appearance was definitely an accident among the unexpected for Zhang Shanlin.
After seeing Yang Xingguo, Zhang Shanlin was shocked or shocked, and asked with an incredible face......
"Commander...... How did you come back so quickly? ”
"Hurry up and fight all the way back, if it weren't for waiting for the artillery, I would have been back an hour ago......," Yang Xingguo replied with a smile.
The reason why I laugh is because Liaozhong Town is still in my own hands now.
As long as Liaozhong Town is there, the lifeblood of the Liaodong Army is there, and it is not too difficult to eliminate Lao Maozi, who has less than a thousand people in front of him.
For Zhang Shanlin, Yang Xingguo's answer brought him a lot of information.
"Artillery, the artillery that followed the commander to reinforce Hutou Town has returned, not to mention the infantry......"
"On the battlefield, the artillery covers the fire, as long as there is one more battalion of infantry, Zhang Shanlin has the confidence to completely annihilate Lao Maozi outside the town of Liaozhong......"
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Zhang Shanlin opened his mouth and asked: "Commander, there are more than 200 people left in the entire headquarters. If you don't come back, we won't even be able to stop Lao Maozi from attacking once......"
"Now, you're finally back, and you've brought reinforcements, so we're not afraid of Lao Maozi, who has less than a thousand people outside the town......"
"Commander, my idea is to take advantage of the start of Lao Maozi's new round of attacks to directly shell Lao Maozi outside the town and disrupt them. As long as Lao Maozi is in chaos, the commander can kill the reinforcements you brought back and destroy them......"
What made Zhang Shanlin feel incomprehensible was that Commander Yang Xingguo actually rejected his proposal.
Just when Zhang Shanlin was about to open his mouth to ask why, Yang Xingguo said very unexpectedly.
"I did come back with reinforcements...... However, this reinforcement is not what everyone imagined......"
"To tell you the truth, I only brought a guard platoon and an artillery company with me to the reinforcement headquarters this time...... In addition, there was a cavalry battalion with almost no combat effectiveness, three hundred cavalry ......"
"What? There is only one platoon of guards...... How can you fight, with this amount of troops, not to mention counterattacking, even the headquarters can't hold ......" Zhang Shanlin, who was dumbfounded, couldn't help but exclaim.
After finishing, Zhang Shanlin seemed to think of something, and pleaded anxiously with Yang Xingguo: "Commander, our defensive forces are too small, and it is likely that we will not be able to stop Lao Maozi's attack...... It's too dangerous here, and for your safety, I ask you to move right away......"
Yang Xingguo waved his hand and refused: "No, not only will I not transfer, but I will also watch the old Maozi outside the town be wiped out by us......"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible...... Even if you add the platoon you brought back, Commander, our total strength is only 300 men. And Lao Maozi still has a full 900 elites, and there are two companies and eighteen machine guns......"
"With our little strength, we are already lucky not to be eaten by Lao Maozi, how can we destroy them......" Zhang Shanlin, who looked disbelieving, subconsciously vetoed.
As for the cavalry battalion brought by Commander Yang Xingguo, Zhang Shanlin directly did not consider it.
Because, from its inception to the present, the cavalry battalion has been training and has not participated in any battles, and no one knows how well the cavalry battalion is trained and whether it can participate in battles.
At this time, Yang Xingguo said directly: "Since this is the case, then I will make the impossible possible today......
After finishing speaking, Yang Xingguo's face was directly covered with a serious expression before the battle.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered with a confident face: "I order, three hundred defenders, frontal positions, two flanks of the position, two platoons of one hundred people each, and light and heavy machine guns are evenly distributed ......"
"Artillery, two artillery platoons with four mountain guns to support frontal combat, and two mountain guns are responsible for Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun position. I don't want it to be destroyed, I just want the artillery to keep harassing them, so that they are constantly shifting, and they can't just suppress the defenders with firepower......"
"There are two mountain artillery guns left, attacking Lao Maozi's attacking troops......"
"After the battle starts, I will be the first to launch a counterattack against Lao Maozi's frontal attacking troops......"
"An artillery platoon supports the battle on the left flank, and the goal is also not to let Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun fire......"
"The last artillery platoon supports the battle on the right flank, and the goal is the same......"
"Start preparing now, if nothing else, Lao Maozi's attack is about to begin......"
