Chapter 1000: Preemptive Strike (Second Update!) )
The moment the flames of anti-aircraft machine guns erupted from the blocking position for ten days, the chief of staff knew that the attack on which he had placed high hopes had failed.
Sure enough, the remaining ten anti-aircraft machine guns of the air defense battalion just opened fire, and the three tanks in front of the charge instantly stopped moving, lying in front of the position and becoming a pile of scrap metal.
The remaining three tanks reacted quickly and began to retreat on the spot, dodging the oncoming anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.
Without tank cover, the infantry behind was miserable.
Swept to the ground piece by piece by a thick bullet.
At this time, only the devils who happened to be hiding behind the tank could survive.
But their good fortune ends here.
More than a dozen mortar shells fell from the sky, and the tank body could block the oncoming bullets, but could not block the shells.
"Boom ......"
The shells exploded in a violent explosion, and the flames flew everywhere, and the fragments flew away, taking the lives of one little devil after another.
Seeing this, the chief of staff knew very well that if the attacking troops continued to put up a hard resistance, they would not gain anything but increase casualties.
As soon as his face sank, he ordered: "Retreat, order the attacking troops to retreat immediately." ”
"The heavy artillery brigade will immediately set up a position, set up all the heavy artillery, and I will bombard the blocking position in front."
"Regiment commander, the little devils have withdrawn, and in the battle just now, they lost at least two hundred people." Liu Senyun shouted.
Li Hao held the binoculars, his eyes kept staring at the battlefield, his expression was not shocked, as if he hadn't heard the good news.
It took a long time before he spoke: "The devil has withdrawn, but we didn't win this battle." ”
"Let's not talk about the casualties of the special battalion just now, let's talk about the artillery, if I am not mistaken, the light mortar has only ten shells left per gun, and the large-caliber mortar should have no shells. If we do the attack just now, the mortars in our hands will be turned into scrap metal, and the blocking troops will lose artillery support. ”
"There are still troops, the devil reinforcements are twice as large as our reinforcements, continue to fight according to the casualty ratio just now, the reinforcements have not been exhausted, and we have no one left."
The smile on Liu Senyun's face disappeared, and he asked with a solemn face: "Commander, what should we do then?" ”
"Wait for the opportunity!" Li Hao thought for a moment and replied.
"When the opportunity comes, directly deliver a lethal attack to the enemy."
A few minutes later, Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, appeared, panting and rushing over: "Regiment commander, the little devil heavy artillery brigade has moved, and the artillery is being put on a flat ground three kilometers away from the battlefield!" ”
Before the words fell, Liu Senyun's voice sounded again: "Regiment leader, the little devil on the highway has also moved." ”
"At least two squadrons of imps are deployed in front of the formation, ready to launch a new round of attacks."
Li Hao quickly raised the telescope.
A smile slowly appeared on his serious face: "Not only are the offensive forces deployed, but the remaining troops are also beginning to assemble towards the battlefield, and our opportunity has come." ”
"The little devil definitely intends to send out heavy artillery to cover the infantry attack and break through our defense line at once, I decided to strike first."
"While the little devils are all deployed, and the heavy artillery is also erected, there is no way to immediately transfer and retreat, and take the initiative to attack."
After speaking, Li Hao looked at the commander of the heavy artillery battalion beside him and asked with a serious face.
"Yuan Qingfeng, can your heavy artillery battalion fire before the devil's heavy artillery brigade and destroy the heavy artillery positions they haven't established yet."
"Sure, I dare to rank the military order!" Chen Guangrong replied with an oath.
"Heavy artillery is not an ordinary mountain artillery, it can be fired when it is erected, and it is necessary to build a special gun emplacement, push the gun into the gun emplacement, and fix it before it can be fired."
"No matter how powerful the little devil artillery is, it will take at least twenty minutes to do all this. The artillery of the heavy artillery battalion is all arranged in advance, as long as I am given accurate shooting data, I can complete the preparation for shooting in one minute, and then open fire. ”
Li Hao nodded and continued to order: "The heavy artillery battalion will divide three companies to attack the Japanese heavy artillery position, and open fire after ten minutes. ”
"The remaining two companies attacked the Japanese assembly area, and the artillery was also opened ten minutes later."
"Mortars equipped with various battalions and companies also joined the battle, draining all the shells and covering the infantry counterattack on the Japanese army."
"The special battalion counterattacked from the defensive line, the mobile battalion attacked from the left flank of the battlefield, and the independent battalion attacked from the right flank of the battlefield.
"The cavalry battalion now sets off and goes around behind the little devil."
"After the counterattack begins, the little devil will definitely choose to retreat under the heavy artillery attack, what you have to do is to let go of the devil cavalry, take the company as a unit, and raid the little devil infantry on the road to the source, and kill one more devil if you can."
"With the help of the war horses of the mobile battalion, the air defense battalion bypassed the battlefield and rushed to Jinguling to deploy defenses."
"After the Japanese army decided to break through and retreat, the speed of the cavalry must be the fastest, and I ask you to ambush the little devil cavalry troops there."
The sound of guns and cannons coming from Lingqiu was as dense as just now, indicating that the street fighting there had entered a stalemate stage, and it could not be ended in a short time, and the main force of the garrison regiment besieging the city could not be withdrawn for the time being.
This is the only thing that the chief of staff of the devil feels fortunate about when the attack is frustrated.
However, Lady Luck can't always be on her side.
The besieging garrison must have known the news of the arrival of reinforcements.
As long as their commander is not stupid, he will definitely order the troops to quickly leave the battle and withdraw from the battlefield to avoid being exposed to the enemy on their own backs.
So God is running out of time for himself.
It is necessary to break through here before the garrison retreats, kill outside Lingqiu City, and block their back road.
"Isn't the heavy artillery brigade ready?" The chief of staff asked for the third time, very anxious.
"There are five minutes left before the cannon can be fired." The artillery staff officer replied after glancing at his watch.
......The anxious look on the chief of staff's face was much soothed, and he ordered very decisively: "Tell them to fire when they are ready, and they don't have to wait for orders." ”
"Aim at the blocking position in front and fire for five minutes, and then the infantry assault."
On the defensive line, the special service battalion is also making final preparations for the next counteroffensive.
The rifleman presses a new magazine into the chamber to ensure that the rifle has enough ammunition for the assault.
Cadres and soldiers armed with pistols reload their pistols and use them to kill devils when they engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The artillerymen carefully examined every remaining shell.
The gunner half-crouched next to the mortar and gave a thumbs up to measure the firing data over and over again, ensuring that the mortar he was manipulating hit the first shot.
Li Hao held the binoculars and stared at every move of the Japanese army in front of the battle, afraid that the little devil would have something before the war.
