Chapter 1176: Applying Pressure
The devil's captain Takahashi's face was cloudy, and he fell into thought, and now the news of the main force of the guerrillas suddenly appeared outside Baoying City, which made him a little unable to turn his head.
He knew that he was facing a difficult opponent who was extremely difficult to deal with, so he was extremely cautious in every step.
But when they were about to close the net in the rural area, they found that the big fish was in Baoying, and they were busy for a long time and surrounded some small shrimps, how could they accept it.
"Your Excellency, what now?"
It is also difficult for the devil's staff to accept this fact, but the reality is so cruel, you have to accept it if you don't accept it.
They were bent on finding the main force of the guerrillas in the countryside to fight a decisive battle, but who knew that others were going to attack their lair.
"Restore the power, the road is slippery after dark, our department will solve the Chinese guerrillas in the encirclement before dawn, and then return to Baoying, please be sure to insist."
Although there are some small shrimp in the net now, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, and the captain Takahashi still decided to clear the guerrillas here before returning to help.
Besides, there is also a squadron of troops in Baoying City, relying on the fortifications in the city, how can it hold out for one night.
The purpose of Yang Ling's feint attack on Baoying was to mobilize the main force of the devils on the front line to return to help, so as to reduce the pressure on the guerrillas in front of them and allow them to easily break through.
Therefore, when they sent troops to Baoying, they sent people to pay attention to the movements of the devils who were responsible for going to the countryside to clean up and suppress the operation.
Yang Ling and the others fought for a long time, but the devil's clearing troops in the countryside still did not move, which made Yang Ling's face a little unpleasant.
What they fought was the idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and now the devil does not withdraw it, which means that the brothers who are trapped in the siege are still in danger, and their rescue effect has not been achieved.
"What if the devil doesn't withdraw?"
Now the effect of attracting the main force of the devils to return to the reinforcements has not been achieved, so that a group of staff officers in the headquarters of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu are also anxious like ants on a hot pot.
If they could order the little devil now, they would definitely directly order the little devil to retreat, but they couldn't command the little devil, and everyone was worried.
Yang Ling didn't expect the situation to get out of control, he was thinking, why didn't the devil retreat? Did you see through their schemes?
But he quickly shook his head, they bluffed to attack Baoying, it stands to reason that the devil should not know their details, but why didn't the devil move.
"Order the troops, attack overnight, and defeat Baoying!"
Since the feint attack will not mobilize the devil back, and Yang Ling is also out of the way, let's come to the real attack and see if the little devil can be so calm.
You must know that Baoying is now the headquarters of the little devils, and the materials and ammunition along the canal north are all in the city.
If he was defeated, it would be an unbearable loss for the devil.
The order was quickly passed down, and the troops responsible for the feint immediately moved into the attacking positions.
Unlike the previous feints, this time it was a real attack, and the purpose was to hurt the devils and get their reinforcements back.
"Brothers, listen to me, many of our brothers are surrounded by little devils, whether we can save them or not depends on how we fight this battle! Can you get the little devil to come back, tell me! Do you have the confidence to lay down Baoying?! ”
"Yes!"
All the brethren who were ready to take part in the attack were bayonet unsheathed, bullets loaded, and the sound was deafening.
Seeing these murderous brothers, Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, was also full of seriousness, because he was under tremendous pressure, and the victory of this battle was related to the life and death of many brothers who were encircled, and he had to personally lead the team to attack.
"Okay, they're all men with seeds!" Looking at these murderous brothers, Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Go!" ”
In this attack, Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, can be said to have pressed the old capital in, and the four infantry companies and one machine gun company of the fifth battalion were all dispatched.
At the same time, the guard company in Yang Ling's hand also followed, and now only some militia troops acted as reserves.
This attack was carried out from the east gate to the west, and by the time it was getting dark, the brothers had already occupied the east gate and could fight directly into the city.
Under the cover of night, groups of brethren sneaked west along the occupied east gate, preparing to attack the little devils.
Now the garrison of the devils has completely shrunk to the barricades in the city, ready to wait for reinforcements.
Although the partisan brethren did not raise their cries when they attacked, they were silently touched.
But after all, there were too many people, and the sound of broken rubble and weapons colliding everywhere still alarmed the little devils.
When the little devil guarding the front barricade heard the movement, he immediately poked out half of his head and looked down the street.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I was startled when I saw the dense footsteps in the dark, and I don't know how many people came.
"The people of China, the people of China!"
The devil's shrill voice sounded in the night, and the characteristic raspy voice like a beast was terrifying to the listener.
"Bang!"
A devil fired a flare into the street in a panic, and in the miserable white light of the flare, the black crowd was spilling over the ruins and the streets, and pounced on them.
The devil soldiers guarding the barricades at the front were all lying on the sandbags of the barricades in a panic, ready to launch a blockade.
"Brothers, hit!" When the devil screams, the partisan brethren know that they are exposed.
But this time they didn't want to sneak attack at all, and directly launched an attack with a swagger.
"Bang ......"
Gunfire flickered, and scorching bullets shrouded the devil's barricades.
Many devils just grabbed their rifles and leaned against the sandbags, but before they could shoot, their heads were pierced by the whistling bullets, and then they fell to the ground on their backs due to the impact of the bullets.
"Shoot!"
"Three o'clock!"
The devil officers all howled in the dark, but in the face of the chains of fire that swept over, their howls soon stopped abruptly.
"Rush!"
"Kill the devil!"
Like tigers descending from a mountain, the guerrilla brethren swooped down on the devils, and one grenade after another blew up the streets, sending rubble and rotten flesh flying.
Watanabe Shouyi, the captain of the devil's detachment, didn't sleep at all, after all, he was surrounded by the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and he couldn't sleep if he wanted to.
When he heard the gunshots, he thought something was wrong, and sure enough, the sound of bean-like gunfire soon followed, mixed with deafening explosions.
"The people of China have launched a large-scale attack, the offensive is fierce, and three barricades have been lost, and they have asked for reinforcements." Before the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi called to inquire, the front line called for help.
In the blink of an eye, three barricades at the front line were lost, which made the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi also shocked.
"Hold on, our reinforcements will be here soon." Watanabe Shouichi hung up the phone and turned his head and ordered, "All the handymen are handing out weapons and preparing for battle!" ”
"Hey!"
The devil staff officers all knew the seriousness of the situation and got busy one after another.
"The telegram ordered Takahashi-san and them to immediately return to Baoying, if they can't return to Baoying before dawn, they will be dealt with by military law!"
In the face of repeated delays in the return of reinforcements from his troops, the anxious detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi had to use more severe words.
