Chapter 617: Preparing to Break Out (Second Update!) )

Fly separately when disaster comes!

This sentence at the critical moment has been confirmed again!

Anyway, Sakai is dead, and instead of letting a living person take responsibility for the crime, it is better to put all the responsibility on the dead person!

The chief of staff replied in his heart: "Sir, don't worry, I understand what you mean, go and send a telegram now!" ”

In Lingqiu City, the battle is over!

The results and losses were summarized into Hong Linfeng's hands one after another!

From the moment the first battle report came, Hong Linfeng was so happy that his mouth never closed!

"Commander, it's all counted! I'm sure it's another big win like never before! ”

Picking up the summarized results and casualty reports, the smile on Hong Linfeng's face became even stronger, and he shouted excitedly!

"The result of the battle was completely unexpected: the commando team had the fewest people, and there were only nine people in Gashaw Yuan, but the most devils were killed!"

"Nearly two hundred little devils died directly in their raid, and more than two hundred little devils were calculated by them and died in fratricidal battles, and the commandos themselves only lost three members, two sacrificed and one was injured!"

"The second is a battalion, the raid and the final melee killed more than 300 devils in total, and lost 39 people yourself, almost a casualty ratio of one to ten!"

"Then there is the guard company, kill about three hundred little devils!"

"The results of the second and third battalions are comparable, and they have killed nearly three hundred little devils!"

"Coupled with the artillery battalion killed outside the city, there are two thousand little devils tonight just after we have confirmed the results of the battle!"

"If you count the results of the battle that you don't know, the light and serious wounded who were taken away by the devils, the results will be at least two hundred people!"

Li Hao nodded, his expression unusually calm!

This result was completely expected by him!

Although there are only more than 500 people in the garrison regiment, they are all veterans who have crawled out of the sea of corpses!

Plus it was well-equipped, every five or six fighters had a crooked handle, and each rifleman was armed with a pistol, and there was enough ammunition!

Such strength, in terms of combat effectiveness, is no less than more than a thousand people before the war!

On the other hand, the little devils, they are too tired, their combat effectiveness and battlefield reaction speed have plummeted, and they fought a night battle just now, and the garrison regiment occupies the right time and place to preemptively strike, if they can't win, the garrison regiment will not be able to hold on to the present under the siege of the Japanese army in Lingqiu Chen!

Therefore, Li Hao was not too surprised by this result, and he was not particularly concerned!

The troops are about to break through tonight, and although they have suffered heavy casualties now, Li Hao believes that it won't take long for the garrison to regain its strength!

To do this, veterans are crucial!

When the time comes, the gap of a few dozen veterans may lead to the return of the troops to combat effectiveness for several months sooner or later!

Thinking of this, he immediately asked the question he was most concerned about!

"How many of us are left!"

"Add the two of us, and there are 312 people left!" Hong Linfeng's face was obviously a little worse, and he replied very seriously!

Li Hao was gloomy for a while, and was silent for a long time before replying: "The casualties are a bit big!" ”

"After dawn, even if the little devils we drove out are not capable of attacking again, they still have planes!"

"In the style of devils, there will definitely be a retaliatory bombing against us, and casualties will definitely be inevitable!"

"There is also a breakthrough at night, and if you go directly out of the devil's encirclement, there will definitely be casualties!"

"After the troops break through, in order not to bring the little devils into the base area and cause trouble to the common people, we must take the devil chasing soldiers to go around in a big circle outside the base area before returning to the base area, and the troops will also suffer casualties in the process!"

"In this way, more than 300 people will go all the way back to the base area, and it would be good to have 200 people!"

The smile on Hong Linfeng's face was gone!

When he divided the troops with the political commissar, he had more than 2,000 people, and finally returned to the base area to join the political commissar, and the 2,000 people were beaten to less than 200 people, and the gap between the front and back was too great, and it was impossible to say that it was not heartache!

But as soon as he thought of the results achieved by the garrison regiment, Hong Linfeng's wrung brows quickly relaxed!

looked at Li Hao and replied: "Regiment commander, our losses are a bit big, but the sacrifices of the soldiers are worth it!" ”

"Not to mention that in the future, compared to the losses of the devils we have killed now, it can already be called an unprecedented victory!"

Speaking of this, Hong Linfeng suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he added: "By the way, Commander, in addition to killing devils, we have another harvest!" ”

"When the battle ended just now, because the devils retreated too hastily, they were in a hurry to get out of the city! Almost none of the heavy weapons they brought into the city were taken, except for the ones that were blown up, and all the rest were captured by us! ”

"The troops have counted it, there are a total of 11 mountain guns, 5 infantry guns, 18 mortars, more than 20 heavy machine guns, and a lot of ammunition, all of which are in whole boxes and boxes, which should be useful for our next breakthrough!"

The gloomy expression on Li Hao's face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes lit up and he replied: "It's not useful, it's useful!" ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately order the troops to hide these artillery and ammunition, be sure to disperse and hide, don't be killed by the little devil plane!"

"With these artillery pieces and ammunition, our breakthrough pressure will definitely be greatly reduced tonight, and the casualties will be much smaller!"

"Especially ammunition, bring it all with you when you run out of breakouts tonight!"

"The artillery battalion will run out of shells tonight, and my original plan was to switch to war without artillery!"

"After the artillery battalion finished firing the shells, all the artillery was dispersed on the spot, and only the artillery was taken away!"

"Now that the shells have been captured, the artillery of the artillery battalion does not have to be dispersed and abandoned!"

"Bring two mountain artillery and a few mortars, all of them on mules and horses to fight with us!"

"With artillery, especially mountain artillery for siege, the pressure on the troops when they switch to war will definitely be much less, even if we encounter the pillbox turret, we are not afraid, and the casualties will be greatly reduced!"

Hong Linfeng slowly realized the importance of those artillery pieces and ammunition, and replied with a serious face: "Don't worry, regiment commander!" ”

"I'll arrange this matter personally, and I'll be sure to hide them all before dawn, especially the ammunition, and try to save them as much as possible!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In less than an hour after dawn, Japanese planes came over the battlefield!

Bombs rained down from the sky, explosions thundered, and thick black plumes of smoke rose up in the city!

More than a dozen planes bombed Lingqiu City in turn, bombing from nine o'clock in the morning until five o'clock in the afternoon!

Everyone on the battlefield is waiting!

The little devils guarding outside the city are waiting for reinforcements, and then they will re-enter Lingqiu City and take revenge!

The garrison scattered and hid in the cellar until it got dark, and then broke through!

The last plane dropped its bomb and flew away, and night began to cover the battlefield again!

The devil's face is full of disappointment!

The expected reinforcements are still being dragged by other Eighth Route Army more than thirty kilometers away, and they will only be able to reach the battlefield tomorrow!

Nakasa Kimura was the temporary commander appointed by the Japanese army after Sakai's death, and the military headquarters gave him only one order, to trap the garrison regiment!

If this order had been put yesterday, he would have been full of confidence!

But at this moment, he has no confidence at all!

Before dark, the captains were called to their headquarters!

Kimura didn't put a shelf for the commander-in-chief, and the lessons of Major General Sakai were right in front of him, and no one knew if he would be folded in this position like them!

As soon as several captains arrived, they went straight to the point and analyzed: "Everyone saw the clear telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army last night, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has issued an order to ask the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment to break through at the right opportunity!" ”

"Now our strength is greatly damaged, and reinforcements have not yet arrived!"

"If I were the commander of the Eighth Route Army, I would definitely choose to break out tonight!"

"Otherwise, tomorrow our reinforcements will come over, and there will be no chance to break through!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a captain supported him: "I also judge that they will break through tonight!" ”

"Although we lost last night and suffered heavy casualties, their casualties are certainly not small! If we don't break through and fight with us, all the troops will really die in Lingqiu City, and there will be no chance to break through! ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Kimura Nakasa continued: "The military headquarters gave us a death order last night to trap the garrison regiment in Lingqiu City!" ”

"If we don't get the job done, let them slip away!"

"It is conceivable that in the face of the anger of the upper peak, several of our captains will definitely follow in the footsteps of Major General Sakai!"

"So everybody got their brains up and figured it out. How to surround Lingqiu City tonight. Don't give the garrison a chance to break through! ”

"Trap the garrison, everyone! Can't sleep. Woe to all! ”

Several captains all had solemn expressions!

Nakasa Kimura didn't scare everyone at all!

Today's garrison has become a thorn in the side of the empire, a thorn in the flesh, and it will be quickly removed!

If he is allowed to slip away, it will definitely be difficult to completely annihilate them again!

And for the Empire, this is another naked slap in the face!

After taking a deep breath, a group leader was the first to speak: "After dawn, I reorganized the troops, the original four infantry squadrons were reduced to two, and the insufficient soldiers were all drawn from the artillery baggage unit, so that the two infantry squadrons were fully formed!" ”

"The other troops who rushed out from the east gate, except for a few of your subordinates, I let them return to the team, all the others stayed behind and were reorganized into an infantry squadron!"

"Add it up, there are a total of three infantry squadrons available at the East Gate!"

"The only problem is that the troops don't have heavy weapons, but I can still do it if I block the east gate and prevent the garrison from breaking through through the east gate!"

The other captain immediately stood up and said, "I have two infantry squadrons blocking the west gate!" ”

"Our three squadrons block the north gate!" The third captain reported!

Kimura Nakasa finally spoke: "I also dismantled all the baggage troops and artillery to replenish the infantry. A total of three infantry squadrons were gathered, and the south gate was blocked by these three infantry squadrons! ”

"One of us is responsible for one direction, no matter who is attacked, the other troops must unconditionally send reinforcements!"

"We are now in solidarity, no matter which direction the garrison breaks through! As long as they slip away, all of us are responsible! ”
