The rudimentary stronghold of the Japanese army could not stop the continuous shelling of six mountain guns. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, after the shelling ended, a battalion led by Li Zhilong easily occupied the stronghold with the loss of only one platoon.

After taking this stronghold, the county seat where the Japanese arsenal was located was completely exposed to the Liaodong Army.

"Order the artillery to quickly advance here, prepare to attack the city......" Li Zhilong, who had a hot face, looked at the county city wall close at hand, and ordered without thinking about it.

At this moment, the Japanese army in the city is in chaos.

The captain of the baggage wing, Kumamoto Osa, woke up from his sleep the moment the cannon sounded.

Then, he re-entered the headquarters for the first time, wanting to know what was going on with the violent artillery fire outside the city.

However, because the thunderous attack was too fast.

In addition, it also took time to pass on the news, and it was not until the second stronghold was attacked that Kumamoto Daisa received the news that the county seat had been attacked.

"Baga, can anyone tell me where the enemy outside the city is coming from...... What is the purpose of their attack on our stronghold, and what are their identities? Like an angry lion, Kumamoto Osa asked loudly at the panicked subordinates around him.

To Kumamoto Daisa's disappointment, because he was the attacked side, the front-line troops still did not know the identity of the other party until the current position.

can only be affirmed by the opponent's performance on the battlefield, this enemy is like a sky falling, the firepower is very strong, and it is also equipped with a lot of artillery.

Just when Kumamoto Daisa was holding back his anger and wanted to find a subordinate to vent.

A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded at the door of the headquarters.

Then a lieutenant liaison officer rushed in, gasping for breath.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the enemy has taken our second stronghold and is now advancing towards the south gate......

"The enemy's offensive firepower far outnumbered ours, and our captain sent me to ask for reinforcements......"

Maybe to prove what the liaison officer said.

As soon as the liaison officer finished speaking, a violent shell explosion sounded in the direction ......of the south gate of the county seat......

"Yaga, how could the enemy's attack be so fast......" Kumamoto Daisa exclaimed with a shocked expression.

Then, he said to himself to his subordinates: "We only have one garrison squadron at the south gate. The strength of a squadron will definitely not be able to withstand such a fierce artillery attack from the enemy......"

The chief of staff on the side hurriedly proposed: "Wing Commander, I suggest that an infantry squadron be transferred from the city immediately. Reinforcements to the South Gate...... There is an arsenal built by the Empire in the city, and the enemy must be kept out of the city no matter what......"

Kumamoto didn't answer right away.

After thinking about it, he asked the chief of staff: "Except for the south gate, have you found the enemy in other directions......

"There are other strongholds outside the city, have they been attacked......

After getting the negation of his subordinates. A very bold idea appeared directly in Kumamoto Daisa's mind.

After some contemplation and hesitation, he ordered very decisively: "In that case, then we will teach the enemy outside the city a hard lesson today......"

"Order, the defenders of other strongholds outside the city immediately abandon their strongholds and reinforce the south gate. Attack the enemy attacking the south gate from the back of the enemy, and let the enemy attacking us suffer from the enemy's back......"

"All the other defenders of the city, except for one squadron left at each of the other three gates, all Imperial troops, including the guard squadron. All reinforcements to the South Gate...... Give the enemy attacking the south gate a head-on blow. ”

"Artillery, give an order to the artillery unit, immediately find the enemy's artillery position and destroy him......"

"Finally, send someone to contact Your Excellency the Commander at the front, and in order to avoid accidents, ask Your Excellency the Commander to send at least one wing of troops to reinforce our troops...... If the counterattack does not go well, we will hold the enemy back until reinforcements arrive......"

"Hi ......" The seven or eight staff officers gathered around Kumamoto Daisa immediately began to get busy.

The chief of staff on the side did not leave. With a worried face, he asked, "Your Excellency Wing Commander, do you want to leave a squadron in the arsenal in the city......?"

Kumamoto Osa shook his head and replied, "One squad is enough...... We must concentrate as many forces as possible to defend the south gate and hold back the enemy's attack. Fight for internal and external strikes. Destroy the enemy attacking us from outside the city in one fell swoop. ”

Thousands of Japanese troops were mobilized, and the Japanese army couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

Therefore, Wang Lin, who was lurking in the city, received the transfer of the Japanese army as soon as possible.

"A squad of Japanese soldiers, that's just a piece of fat that the devil sent to our mouths...... Vice Captain, do it. Eat the devil of this team, the arsenal built by the devil in the city is ours......" Now a squadron leader beside Wang Lin shouted, his eyes lit up.

Wang Lin nodded and replied: "After the transfer of the devil soldiers, the defense of the arsenal in the city is empty. However, the defenders of the devils at the south gate reached as many as 1,000 people, and with the fighting power of the devils, it was impossible for our attacking troops outside the city to enter the city in a short time. ”

"Therefore, we must make two preparations, while taking the arsenal, we must think of a good way to attack the attacking troops inside and outside, open a gap in the direction of the south gate of the devil, and cover the main force to enter the city."

"Vice-Captain...... You say! We'll fight how you say you want? The squadron leader, who had just spoken, subconsciously asked.

Wang Lin thought for a while and replied: "According to the old plan, the soldiers will be divided into two ways, all the way to take the devil arsenal, and all the way to the south gate." In addition, draw out ten more people and go to the devil artillery position to eliminate the devil artillery ......."

"I'm not worried about the devil's artillery positions and arsenals, it should be easy to take them......"

"However, the south gate is very troublesome. Because, the total strength of the devils at the south gate has reached an astonishing 1,000 people, and it is also protected by the city wall. Without careful deployment, it is impossible to break through the devil's defense......"

"So, I decided to personally lead the team to the South Gate......"

Under the attack of six mountain guns of the mountain artillery company, an infantry squadron at the south gate lost more than half of its original infantry squadron because it did not hold out for even five minutes because it was guarding the city wall.

However, just then, reinforcements from the defenders arrived.

As soon as the artillery fire of the mountain artillery company was over, Japanese reinforcements rushed to the city wall.

Seven or eight heavy machine guns were fired one after another, plus hundreds of devil veterans who were equivalent to sharpshooters

The first regiment and the second battalion, which had not seen the powerful Japanese army, immediately lost half a company.

"What about the heavy machine guns, set up all the light and heavy machine guns, and suppress the devils with firepower......" Li Zhilong, who was clenched with his fists outside the city, subconsciously opened his mouth and ordered after seeing the battlefield situation in his eyes.

As soon as the light and heavy machine guns fired, the arrogance of the devil's seven or eight heavy machine guns was suppressed.

The second battalion, which was lying on the ground, took advantage of this opportunity to immediately jump up from the ground and kill the city gate.

However, before Li Zhilong had time to rejoice, the battlefield situation once again made the expression on Li Zhilong's face freeze.

The Devil heavy machine gun was suppressed, but the Devil hundreds of riflemen were not completely suppressed.

As long as there is a slight gap in fire, these devils will fire lethal bullets at the attacking troops.

At this moment, the casualties of the second battalion were not as great as they had just been.

However, as far as the immediate casualties are concerned, they are still not something they can bear. (To be continued.) )
