Chapter 107: Fierce Battle of Jiangqiao (5)

Jiangqiao Town only revealed a swarthy outline in the night, and the incendiary bombs that the devils shot into the town set fire to several houses, and the flames were spreading wantonly, the wooden beams and debris were burning, and the black smoke was spreading with the wind to the surroundings.

Lieutenant Devil gathered back the men who had scattered from all directions, and they suffered heavy losses in this little-known town, with thirty-seven soldiers killed, and the remaining forces were no longer able to take the town.

Looking at the swarthy town, the devil lieutenant gritted his teeth and squeaked, angrily splitting a small tree into two pieces, he underestimated the enemy, he didn't expect the Chinese army in the town to be so tenacious, so he suffered heavy losses.

Tomorrow! As soon as the reinforcements arrive, he can wash away the shame he has suffered and kill all the Chinese troops in the town! Razing the town to the ground, he just had to wait now.

The devils have temporarily lost the ability to attack, the mortar shells and grenades they carry have all been driven into the town, and the cover of artillery fire has been lost, the devils are like tigers that have lost their claws, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, in order to avoid greater casualties, they have to temporarily rest and wait for reinforcements to bring artillery fire.

The attack of the devils stopped, and the soldiers of the supplementary regiment in the town finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the devils broke into the town several times with the help of the powerful fire of grenadiers and machine guns.

They all thought that they couldn't hold it, but fortunately, they fought with a momentum that was not afraid of death, and after heavy losses, they finally fought out the devils who broke into the town and temporarily held the town.

The four companies of the supplementary regiment suffered great losses, Qin Feng's company was exhausted, and a few grenades fell directly in their trenches, reimbursing half of them on the spot, and the rest of the people were also stabbed to death by the devils who rushed into the trenches, if it weren't for the four companies next to them to fill the hole in time, the town would have been lost.

Liu Ming, the deputy head of the supplementary regiment, had his glasses covered with scattered dust and fog, and he felt like a blind man in the dark night.

He wiped his glasses and wiped them, but the whole town was filled with smoke and smoke, and after a while it was filled with smoke and dust, and he gave up altogether.

was promoted from the deputy battalion commander to the regiment deputy in the line of fire, which seemed to be a step to the sky, but it also put a heavy burden on Liu Ming's shoulders, and it was difficult to escape death if he defended the town.

"Deputy regiment, I counted, we still have two hundred and ten heads." Li Tiezhu, the commander of the third company, crawled to Liu Ming's side with a cat, and said in a low voice.

There were still more than 500 people in the replenishment regiment when it was temporarily pulled up, and more than half of them were sacrificed in just over an hour, and the people who were alive were rejoicing in their luck while worrying about their own tomorrow.

Damn war, many people curse in their hearts, because this damn war makes them worry all the time, they don't even know if they can see the sun the next day, they are full of confusion and despair about the future, and their morale is low.

Liu Ming pushed his glasses covered with smoke and dust, listened to the painful wails of the wounded soldiers around him, shook off the dust on his body and stood up, although the losses were heavy, but the town still had to be defended, he summoned the three company commanders who were still alive to discuss the countermeasures to defend the town.

"We still have more than 200 people, scattered to the town, as long as the devil dares to come in, we will shoot cold!"

Wu Jiang, the commander of the fourth company, advocated scattered street fighting, because the fighting firepower was not the opponent of the devils, and it was easy to be beaten by the devils' artillery when they gathered together, so they could only disperse and rely on the houses and buildings in the town to block the devils, and they could block the devils for a longer time.

Li Tiezhu, the commander of the third company, opened his mouth and interrupted Wu Jiang's words: "I don't agree with your opinion, if we disperse, we will be broken by the devils one by one, my opinion is to concentrate on fighting together, there are many people and there is great strength, and the devils who are stubbornly guarding North Street will not be able to break in for a while."

"Do you think the devil's mortar is a dry meal, what if you are gathered together and served by someone, you forgot why the company is gone?" Wu Jiang pushed back.

The two company commanders were arguing so much that they were red-faced, one advocated dispersing their forces to fight street battles, and the other advocated concentrating their forces to hold on to a point, and neither of them would give in.

Liu Ming was distraught by the quarrel and waved his hand to interrupt their quarrel: "Okay, listen to Company Commander Yang."

Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Ling who was leaning against the door frame, Yang Ling's military uniform was torn to pieces by the explosion, and there was blood on his face, I don't know if it was his own or a devil's, he was looking at the sky in a daze, distracted.

"Company Commander Yang, tell me how we should fight?" Liu Ming saw that Yang Ling didn't react, and reached out and pushed him.

Yang Ling didn't like to be quiet, especially on the battlefield, and now that the devil's grenadier was gone, the mortar was gone, and the gunfire had stopped, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The atmosphere is quiet and weird, is the devil retreating? Or is a new conspiracy brewing? The surprisingly quiet surroundings made Yang Ling lose the basis for judgment, and this feeling of losing control of the situation made Yang Ling's heart bottomless.

He had been waiting for the devil's attack, but after waiting for so long, there was no movement, so his brain kept running and guessing the devil's next move.

Liu Ming pushed Yang Ling, making Yang Ling sober up from his thoughts.

"Company Commander Yang, are you okay?" Liu Ming asked uncertainly.

Yang Ling shook his head: "Where did you just go?"

Li Tiezhu, the commander of the third company, let out a cold snort when Yang Ling was distracted during the meeting.

Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, needed to rely on Yang Ling in the next battle, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not show it on his face, after all, Yang Ling's second company battle was remarkable, with the least attrition and the most killings, he wanted to listen to Yang Ling's opinion.

"Company Commander Yang, the devil will definitely continue to attack, how can you defend it?" Liu Ming repeated the question and added: "Company Commander Wu advocates scattered street fighting, and Company Commander Li advocates concentrating troops to defend one point, you can tell me your opinion."

Yang Ling was stared at by several pairs of eyes, pondered for a moment and replied, "I think we should take the initiative."

"You're crazy, aren't you? Or was the brain blown out? We can't defend it, you still have to take the initiative to attack, you want to die, don't drag the brothers to die together! Li Tiezhu, the commander of the third company, began to verbally and penally criticize Yang Ling.

"Listen to Company Commander Yang first." Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, glared at Li Tiezhu.

Yang Ling continued: "Judging from the intensity of the devil's attack, their number should not be very large, at most the size of the squad, now they are not attacking, either they are trying to find a way to yin us, or they are waiting for reinforcements, no matter which one, it is not good for us, if we stay here, when they are ready, it will be our death, if we want to live, we have to take the initiative to attack and disrupt the devil's plan."

Yang Ling said all his thoughts in one go, the so-called best defense is to attack, now that the devil has not moved, Yang Ling can't judge the devil's intentions, then there is only one way, and that is to attack.
