Heroes of the War of Resistance

Chapter List Chapter [-] Town Attack and Defense!

Listening to the sound of gunfire from outside the town, the Japanese army divisions, which were already on high alert, were also ready for defensive operations.In view of the fact that the temporary fortifications need to be strengthened, the Japanese troops stationed in the positions are also constantly strengthening the fortifications.

The head of the Japanese army division staying in a private house in the town is also paying close attention to the military developments around the town.Knowing that the peripheral security forces were exchanging fire with the attackers, and that there were a large number of attacking forces, many officers were full of worry.

In particular, the sky had already darkened, and the gunfire outside had never stopped. This undoubtedly clearly told the Japanese army in the town that they were already surrounded.In this situation, even if they want to withdraw, they may not be able to withdraw.

Looking at his subordinates, Dizhou Libing, who is the head of the division, asked with a solemn expression: "Masters, judging from the current battle situation, the Chinese army in the city should have already left the city. Unsurprisingly, they should have fought with the mysterious armed forces." Converged!"

"General, is it true that the Chinese army is really planning to launch a full-scale attack on us?"

"Very likely! The Chinese army launched a full-scale attack at this moment, which is enough to show that they have made up their minds and are preparing to encircle us. Next, we may have all tough battles to fight, so please do your best!"

"Hey! Please don't worry, general! Since the Chinese army dares to take the initiative to attack, let them experience the bravery of the imperial army! If we can completely defeat them, maybe we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Lu'an City by the way!"

"Don't be careless! Yu Xuezhong, who is stationed in Lu'an City, was born in the Northeast Army and is also a veteran in the battlefield. He dared to send troops to attack this time, which shows that he has certain confidence in winning. The battle is not over, don't talk about the outcome, understand?

Most importantly, there must be that mysterious armed force in the Chinese army attacking us tonight.In order to ensure safety, the ministries must stick to their positions.Without my order, the ministries are not allowed to attack without authorization, and those who violate the order will do so according to the military law! "

"Hi!"

Compared with the confidence of his commanders, Dizhou Libing, as the head of the division, did not dare to be careless.But at this time, he didn't dare to say words to boost the morale of the enemy and destroy his prestige, just hit him appropriately.

Although many troops were dispatched to the outskirts, they were stationed in the town for many days, and the whole town was like a barracks.In addition to the fortifications built during the day, Dizhou Libing felt that it would not be a big problem to stick to it overnight.

As for the so-called counterattack, for the sake of safety, he will not take the risk until dawn.Even as the peripheral security forces were attacked one after another, Dizhou Libing no longer sent troops to the periphery, but strictly ordered all ministries to stand by and wait for help.

In other words, those troops sent to the periphery to guard and block have basically been abandoned.The purpose of doing this is also very simple. If the troops in the town are sent out, if these troops cannot return, the division will become extremely dangerous.

In this situation, the safety of the division is the most important.If the town is captured, then the No. 13 Division may really be wiped out.As the head of the division, he must think about the safety of the division, and it doesn't matter if he loses some troops.

As the saying goes, "one general succeeds, ten thousand bones dry up", as a division head, sometimes you have to be ruthless.If you are too soft-hearted, you may ruin more troops.Regarding this point, even if some officers were aware of it, they did not dare to say anything more.

Just when the Japanese army began to be on full alert, waiting for the arrival of peripheral offensive troops.The Japanese army did not wait for the attacking troops, but instead waited for a group of defeated troops.Seeing these fleeing troops, the officers on duty were also startled.

Immediately ordered: "Fire a warning shot! Order them to stop, put down their weapons, verify their identities before letting them in!"

For many little devil officers, what they hate most is the loser.Since the troops dispatched to the perimeter for security and defense did not receive an order to return on their own, it meant that they had violated the military order.This kind of loser is not respected.

Even though the Japanese soldiers who fled back to the town had already informed them of their identities in advance, the officers staying in the defensive position still didn't want them to go back to the town easily.Putting down your weapon to accept the inspection is both a warning and a precaution against impersonation.

In the current situation, if some enemies were to be let into the town, the damage would be enormous.Hearing the order issued by the Japanese army in front of the town, although the retreating Japanese army complained, they did not dare to say anything more.

After his identity was verified, he looked at the infantry captain who had returned after being defeated, and the regimental captain who had heard the news came forward and slapped him in the face without saying a word: "Baga! Didn't receive the order, why did you come back without authorization?"

"Your Excellency, Captain! On our way to Shilipu for reinforcements, we were ambushed by a large force of the Chinese Army. Originally, we blocked all the way, but failed to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army. In desperation, I can only return to report the situation."

"Don't make excuses for your failure! Bageyalu, go and ask the head of the division yourself!"

As the immediate superior of the infantry captain, the infantry regiment captain somewhat felt that this unit had disgraced him.Even though it was reasonable for the infantry captain to withdraw to the town, he still couldn't hide the fact that he was defeated by others.

You Qi learned that the infantry brigade dispatched to Shilipu returned to the town safely at this moment, but there was less than one squadron left.Such a disastrous defeat, even if the regimental captain wanted to forgive the infantry captain, he would not dare to intercede for him.

The infantry captain who was brought to the commander of the division reported the situation again. After listening to the report, Dizhou Libing waved his hands and said: "The failure of this battle is not entirely your responsibility. Next, I hope you Able to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds!"

"Hi! Thank you, General, for your forgiveness!"

Although he really wanted to bring this captain into military law, but the matter had come to this point, no amount of punishment would help.Since the current situation is already very dangerous, it is better to let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Anyway, there is still a tough battle to fight tonight.

When the captain of the infantry was taken away, Dizhou Libing continued: "Every department is on standby, this battle tonight must be won!"

"Hey! The empire must win! The division must win!"

Hu Biao, who is building an artillery position, is naturally not clear about what happened at the headquarters of the Japanese division.Knowing that the troops of the 51st Army had contained the Japanese troops on the periphery, Hu Biao concentrated on preparing for the final general offensive.

Seeing that the Japanese troops stationed in the town had already built fortifications outside the town, Hu Biao did not intend to attack by force.Call Xu Sandao and Lei Xiong to your side, and give them corresponding harassment combat missions.

Before the general offensive starts, Hu Biao will also further reduce the living space of the little devils in the town.At least the little devils wandering outside the town must all be driven back to the town.The little devils who don't return will naturally be killed without exception.

Yu Xuezhong, who was standing next to him, thought about it for a while and said, "Brother Hu, if you don't mind, let my guard group fight you!"

"Okay! It's just that, for the harassment operation later, I hope that Commander Xu will warn his subordinates that they must obey orders and obey commands. It will take a long time, and we have enough time to spend with the little devils, so don't be too impatient!"

"Yes, sir!"

Regarding Xuezhong's initiative to send a guard group to cooperate in the battle, Hu Biao collected some light machine guns and rifles from the prisoner-of-war camp before the guard group left, and handed them over to the guard group for replacement.In this regard, the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment are also very happy.

Seeing the guard group follow Xu Sandao and Lei Xiong to the small town with the battalion as the unit, Yu Xuezhong also smiled and said: "Thank you!"

"It's all from my own family, so why bother to thank you! To be honest, if I want to take down this town in front of me alone, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a lot. With your help, I can save a lot of trouble .”

Knowing that Yu Xuezhong sent the guard group to cooperate in the battle, he should also hope that the guard group can learn more skills.Yu Xuezhong was still very interested in the combat mode of the previous task force.Learning more skills is not a bad thing after all.

Following the task force and the guard group, they began to infiltrate the town.Looking at the little devils staying in the defensive position, the combat team members carrying mortars quickly built a temporary artillery position outside the town.

Grenadiers and snipers, as melee troops, began to approach the little devil's defensive position.The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment who accompanied them were ordered to disperse to guard against the possible artillery counterattack by the little devil at any time.

"Cheer up! Once you see a fire in the town, get down immediately and don't stand up. When the shells fall, spread out to the outside immediately. We are here to harass you, don't fight the little devils lightly, remember? "

"remember!"

Before the fight started, both Xu Sandao and Lei Xiong specially warned them.The number of melee attacks would not be too many.Now that the little devil has already built fortifications, he would have to pay a high price if he forcibly attacked.

After touching the front of the little devil's defensive position, the combat team members holding the grenades soon heard the team leader say: "Start shelling!"

The sound of bombardment sounded, and the Japanese army lying in the defensive position immediately screamed: "Enemy attack!"

When a wave of rifle grenades fell, the snipers staying near the grenadiers also began to shoot and kill the little devils on the defensive position.The combat team members responsible for the feint attack in close combat continued to grope forward, entering 200 meters and shooting with guns.

Dizhou Libing, who was staying at the headquarters of the town, heard the sound of guns and artillery from the gate of the town, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "The Chinese army came so fast! Order the troops to counterattack in an all-round way! Inform the artillery troops to do Good artillery preparation!"

"Hi!"

Hearing the sound of guns from the defensive position, Dizhou Libing also knew that the defenders in the defensive position should bear a lot of pressure.In this case, artillery units must be used to provide artillery support to the defenders of the defensive position.

When the Japanese artillery began to counterattack, the harassing troops outside the town quickly dispersed.As this wave of shells fell, the combat team members in charge of operating the mortar immediately shouted: "Move the position! Quick!"

The combat team members who were lying nearby raised their mortars without saying a word and quickly moved their positions.The rest of the offensive troops also quickly dispersed to avoid the next shells from the Japanese army as much as possible.

Seeing that the left and right sides of the town were bombarded by the attacking troops, the Japanese artillery in the town was also divided into two groups to shell the attacking troops.Seeing this scene, Hu Biao, who was fighting outside the town, also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tonight, if you want to capture the town heavily surrounded by the Japanese army, you have to destroy the little devil's artillery unit first.If not, they would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to capture the small town in front of them.And now, the little devil finally took the bait!

Chapter List Chapter [-] Artillery Harassment Tactics

According to the information provided by the reconnaissance team earlier, the remaining divisions of the Japanese army stationed in the town still have a certain number of artillery units.If these artillery pieces are not dealt with, when large troops attack, they will inevitably be hit by Japanese artillery fire.
