Chapter 663: Attacking Gucheng County on Three Sides (1)
As soon as the devil troops and the puppet army troops received the order from the headquarters, they mobilized troops overnight to reinforce Gucheng County.
The total number of reinforcements mobilized by the enemy has reached as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people, and it is unknown whether the little devil will deploy troops in the future.
The first enemy to reinforce Gucheng County was the Japanese puppet army stationed in the surrounding villages and towns.
The devils mobilized troops in various strongholds to reduce defense, and all the Japanese puppet troops that could be mobilized were mobilized, and the total number of Japanese puppet troops was more than 2,500 people.
These 2,500 enemies were organized into less than a Japanese Second Class Combat Wing, and the enemy in these positions had few heavy support weapons.
The reinforcements of the little devils in various strongholds actually have no big effect on the security group, that is, to make up the number of heads......
In the second half of the night, the civilians in Gucheng County took advantage of the darkness to move away from the county seat.
Li Hong did not rush to attack the city, but to give the civilians in the city more time to evacuate.
As soon as the Devil Command mobilized troops for reinforcements, the Communications Department of the Security Corps received accurate information.
Li Hong arranged for Umegawa Yixiu to work as an intelligence officer in the enemy camp, and Umegawa Yixiu himself was a spy, and it was not difficult to learn the news of the devil's headquarters.
did not kill Meichuan Yixiu at the beginning, but left her in the enemy camp, this move Li Hong made the right move.
After receiving the intelligence news of the reinforcements of the various units of the devils, Li Hong immediately asked the signal corps to report the intelligence news to the 2nd Theater Command.
The commanders of the theater learned of the enemy's reinforcements and routes, and hurriedly ordered the troops below to rush to the road where the enemy passed overnight to set up an ambush.
In addition, Li Hong also sent telegrams to Chu Yunfei, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and others, informing them of the enemy's troop movements in the major strongholds around Gucheng County.
This group of people are all unambiguous professional soldiers who fight little devils, they are good at capturing fighters, and the Japanese puppet army stronghold is empty, so this group of people immediately began to carry out operational deployment to uproot the stronghold.
This battle could not be fought by the security regiment alone, and it could not eat tens of thousands of enemies, so he could only seek the cooperation of various friendly forces.
There is meat to eat together, and there are devils to fight together!
……
At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the front command of the security regiment.
The various units of the security regiment responsible for the siege of the city, in accordance with Li Hong's instructions, were ready to attack.
Li Hong scheduled the attack in the second half of the night, mainly because he was worried that the little devil planes would support him during the day, so that the casualties of the security regiment would be very large.
Of course, the second half of the night is also the time when the little devil's combat effectiveness is the loosest.
The signal soldiers inquired about the situation of the attacking troops, and then reported the situation to Li Hong.
"Report to the regimental seat, the armored infantry battalion is ready to attack!"
"Report to the regimental seat, the units of the third battalion have arrived at the offensive line outside the eastern suburbs!"
"Report to the regiment, the units of the fourth battalion have reached the offensive line outside the northern suburbs!"
After listening to the report of the communication soldier, Li Hong nodded, and then walked out of the command headquarters.
He stood on a high ground and raised his binoculars to observe the enemy defenders of the county town in the distance.
In the distance, the castle tower was pitch black, and occasionally the enemy could be seen moving in the corridors of the city wall.
"Signal Corps, order the heavy artillery troops, immediately launch an artillery bombardment on the enemy defending the city!"
"Yes, Tuanza!"
The signal corps ran over and immediately went to convey Li Hong's order.
Less than five minutes later, the heavy artillery units of the security regiment launched an artillery bombardment on the towers.
"Flares are prepared, artillery fires!!
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
The artillery units of the security regiment fired flares simultaneously in three directions: east, south and north.
The shells were mixed with the line of fire and quickly flew high into the distance from the artillery position.
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"
The cannonballs slowly descended from the sky, emitting a dazzling white light that instantly lit up the darkness near the city gates.
After the flares were lifted into the air, the artillery units of the Security Regiment fired a large number of high-explosive shells. 、
Artillery shells came one after another, smashing near the city gates!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom!!" 、
The sound of shell explosions continued to sound, and the explosions on the castle tower were full of flames.
"Baga, be careful of artillery fire, hide, hide quickly!!" 、
The little devil shouted in panic, and the enemy scurried on the tower with his head in his hands, looking for cover to avoid the heavy artillery fire.
The artillery fire came too suddenly, and many of the little devils guarding the city tower did not have time to dodge, so they died under the artillery fire. 、
Thanks to the help of flares, the shells fired by the security regiment were extremely accurate.
With so many large-caliber shells fired and such a high degree of accuracy, the little devil defenders paid a lot of casualties.
Dense large-caliber artillery shells rained down on the fortified walls, and the walls of the city walls were crumbling, and a large number of masonry and shrapnel flew everywhere. ,、、
Many little devils were stunned by the shells, and they ran around on the castle tower, when suddenly, a row of shells bombarded them.
"Ahh......h
The little devil screamed, and the people and weapons exploded under the tower.
As soon as the artillery fire came, the first to be hit must have been the devil officers and soldiers on the city tower.
The buildings of the city tower were collapsed by the bombardment, and some of the devil machine gunners in the fortifications were directly buried in the pile of rubble by the collapsed walls.
The ancient city wall building may have no problem resisting ordinary small and medium-caliber artillery, but the city wall defense cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of large-caliber artillery shells.
The city wall was blown up, and the fortifications built by many little devils were useless, and the little devils in the fortifications were mercilessly killed by artillery fire. 、
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"
The sharp whistling of shells and explosions resounded around Heigucheng County.
The artillery of the security regiment in the distance carried out non-stop shelling, without considering the amount of ammunition at all, and crushed the Japanese puppet army defending the city with powerful firepower.
Shells were fired all over the tower, and shattered wall-cut masonry and shrapnel flew everywhere, killing and injuring nearby enemies.
The artillery fire was so fierce that the defensive wall was blown apart, and the sky was full of sparse sandbags, and the little devils were killed and injured by splashing.
As soon as the shells exploded, there was a large area, and the killing range reached 100 meters, and the Japanese puppet army continued to die tragically on the city tower.
"Bagaya Road, the artillery fire of the security regiment is too fierce!!"
"Yaga, our fortifications have been destroyed......"
The little devils were in a mess on the city tower, and all kinds of shouts and scolding sounded one after another.
The little devils were suppressed and covered by artillery fire on three sides of the city, and the Japanese puppet army suffered at least a few hundred casualties.
The walls of the city walls collapsed many times, the fire and fortifications of the towers were destroyed one by one, and the flames of the explosions burning everywhere under the towers and the towers were everywhere.
The large-caliber shells were indeed fierce, and many of the little devils' bodies were blown apart, and there were not even intact corpses, and there were bloody stumps and broken arms everywhere......
