Chapter 446: I can't take care of it
After the brief report, Yang Jicai didn't care about asking Yi Jianping's consent or not, and glanced at the company commander. Let the company commander take Yi Jianping's guards to forcibly take Yi Jianping away first. Because Yang Jicai knew that as long as the Japanese army did not reach the gate of the headquarters, Yi Jianping would not agree to leave.
Rather than delay time because of persuasion, it is better to forcibly send him away first. Although it seems extremely impolite to do so, it is also somewhat disrespectful to the superiors. But in contrast, Yi Jianping's safety is more important. How to deal with yourself afterwards is a matter for your superiors, but now ensuring Yi Jianping's safety is the first thing.
The company commander's head turned quite quickly, and after receiving the look handed over by Yang Jicai, he did not hesitate or delay at all, let alone whether he offended the chief. The two guards beside Yi Jianping, taking advantage of the firepower of the Japanese army, have not blocked the entire command headquarters. After forcibly erecting Yi Jianping and leaving from another exit of the headquarters, he quickly evacuated towards the back mountain.
After Yi Jianping left, Yang Jicai, who was relieved, said to his communications staff officer: "You take a class, in addition to leaving me a walkie-talkie, all the radio stations covering here will also be evacuated to the back mountain." During the retreat, the telephone line between here and the back mountain was also removed. ”
"The next step in our contact is to use walkie-talkies. Until this force of Japanese troops is eliminated, no telephones are allowed. I'll organize artillery fire to cover you at once. I can only give you ten minutes, you are tired to death, and I have to evacuate all the radio stations to the backup command post in the back mountain for me safely. ”
When he looked at Yang Jicai's words, he had a somewhat hideous face. The communications staff officer did not dare to refute, and rushed to another underground shelter outside with the only remaining squad of the headquarters, and braved the dense bullets swept by the Japanese army, and rushed towards the underground nest where the communications department was located.
It's just that the class he is taking is obviously much bigger than the three of Yi Jianping. And although Yi Jianping rushed out safely, their actions also attracted the attention of the Japanese army in person. Although the sky has not yet brightened, it is still easy to observe the movement here with the flares constantly fired by the Japanese army.
The underground nest where the radio station is located is only less than 30 meters away from Yang Jicai's headquarters. But since the Japanese army has touched here, they will not notice this side yet. The antenna erected by the high-power radio station is also too obvious. With a high-power radio antenna as a target, even a fool knows what kind of place this is.
Although the anti-union itself made a radio, because the power is relatively large. But today's radio stations are not the microwave communications or satellite communication systems of a few decades later. You don't need to set up an antenna that is too high, but you still need a height of about two meters. And the scale of the radio antenna should also be larger.
With such an obvious target, the Japanese army is not blind, and I am afraid that it has been locked as early as when it is touched. This Japanese army rushed over for whatever reason, whether they knew in advance or not, whether this was Yang Jicai's headquarters. But now the tactical intent is already obvious. It is to turn the anti-United Nations headquarters on the front line of Balakirude, all in one go.
At a distance of thirty meters, in the face of the fire blockade of the Japanese army, it was impossible to even make tactical moves. The flares that kept rising were exposed as soon as they acted. As a new flare fired by the Japanese army rose into the sky, the dense machine gun bullets of a Type 92 heavy machine gun that had not been fired before swept over at the same time, and several grenades from grenadiers also fell.
Although the Japanese troops who touched it were guarded by the troops, they were dead at a distance of 500 meters and could not get close. Moreover, the grenadier is already close to its maximum range because of the distance of 500 meters. In addition, the sky has not yet brightened, which still has a considerable impact on visual observation.
Compared with heavy machine guns, which rely on fire intensity, they also need to be visually observed, and even if there are flares, the landing point of the grenadier canister at a distance of 500 meters is not so accurate, and the threat to this side is limited. But for a heavy machine gun, this distance of 500 meters is the best killing range.
In order to strengthen the front-line firepower, Yang Jicai allocated all the bazookas and 60 artillery in his hands to the front-line troops. The guard troops around him, even if they include the company brought by Yi Jianping, are only nine squad machine guns and three Polish-made Browning light machine guns.
The company brought by Yi Jianping was an infantry company drawn from the 1st Division. However, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Union was equipped with a long firing range, but the company-level main firepower general-purpose machine gun was not brought. The battalion-level 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns were not brought either, and only the 40-type squad light machine guns in each squad were brought.
Although there were a lot of machine guns, there were nine machine guns, plus three French light machine guns, for a total of twelve machine guns. But these twelve machine guns, under the interference of the Japanese grenadiers, only barely suppressed the six crooked handles and two Type 92 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.
While trying to suppress the Japanese infantry on the opposite side who found that this side might be a big fish, and were attacking at any cost, they really couldn't muster firepower to suppress this newly emerging heavy machine gun. The Type 92 heavy machine gun, which was barely disturbed, easily blocked the connection between the headquarters and the radio station's concealment department.
He even cooperated with two grenadiers with ease, and blocked the hidden part where the radio station was located, trapping the people inside. Before he could touch the door of the shelter where the radio station was located, the squad led by this communications staff officer had already been knocked down by a third.
The rest of the people were suppressed by the extremely accurate fire of this Type 92 heavy machine gun, and they couldn't move at all outside the door of the shelter. At a distance of less than thirty meters, he was never able to rush through. Although I don't know why this Japanese army only blocked others to rescue the radio station, instead of directly blowing up the radio station. But this situation will undoubtedly bring a serious threat to the radio station.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Jicai did not hesitate at all. I didn't have time to fake others, so I personally grabbed the walkie-talkie left by my side, and instead of going through the front first, I wanted to go directly to the artillery position behind. Yang Jicai knows very well that the four high-power radio stations are not Yi Jianping or one or two people. Even under the noses of the Japanese army, it was not too difficult to escape.
How could it be so easy for four high-power radios, together with hand-cranked motor generators, to be withdrawn under the noses of the Japanese army? In particular, it will take some time to remove the antenna. And under the blockade of Japanese fire, it is also quite dangerous to withdraw the antenna.
If this passive situation cannot be changed in a short period of time, and if the Japanese army's sneak attack fails to change to a strong attack, it is impossible to say whether the four radio stations can be kept under the bombardment of the Japanese grenadiers. Who can guarantee that he is in front of this reinforced squadron of the Japanese army, not carrying mortars? Or the 92 infantry gun that served as the firepower of the Japanese army's standard brigade?
These little devils did not use grenadiers or mortars and infantry guns that they might carry, and used all the grenadiers to suppress the machine gun fire of the blocking troops in front, and only used light and heavy machine guns to block their own side, and the idea of fighting was probably to seize their own radio station or simply capture their own prisoners.
It's not necessarily that the little devil already knew that this was his headquarters, but the few field telephone lines leading to the forward position and the frontal battlefield column in Linxi, as well as the antennas of the four high-power radios, easily exposed the true purpose of these two underground nests.
In addition to the telephone line, the reason why the Japanese army, which has not yet figured out how to call, attracted it, is also the jeep that the commissar took when he came, and the jeep that was outside at the moment, and the truck that escorted the troops. Jeeps are too shabby compared to sedans. From the outside, it looks like an iron frame pressed on the engine.
But even if it was rudimentary, he was a car, not a truck. Where there are such small cars, they are often high-level headquarters, which is an inevitable law on the battlefield, and the Japanese army will not be unclear. However, for Yang Jicai, no matter what the real intentions and ideas of this Japanese army are, it is the best policy to solve them as much as possible.
This is not only related to the security of the command headquarters, but also the need to stabilize the morale of the troops at the front. The troops were mainly recruits, and the dense gunfire behind them would not affect the morale and determination of the troops. If they eat up this Japanese army that has penetrated into their rear, then the troops at the front will probably think that they are faltered by the enemy.
Since there are not enough infantry, then use shells to talk to them. Speaking with firepower is still a relatively simple way to solve the problem. Yang Jicai did not dare at the moment, nor could he transfer any company from the front, to solve the current force, as well as more Japanese troops that might follow behind him.
Because of the dense gunfire in front of Balakirude at this moment, tell him how much pressure there is on his side now. If it is because of such a little devil that the troops on the front line of Balakirude are insufficient, then some food will be wasted due to choking. If it is broken through by the Japanese army, it will be even more than worth the loss.
With limited forces at hand, calling in artillery to solve this Japanese army in a short period of time is naturally the preferred solution. Especially when Yang Jicai's current number of artillery on hand is still quite sufficient, he can't afford to take too much risk and entangle with this Japanese army.
At this moment, just behind the hill in the reserve concealment, there was a position of an artillery unit, where a company of 100-mm howitzers and a company of 75-mm field artillery were deployed. As early as after the start of the line from Balaqirude to Ao Han Yingzi, Qiu Jintang handed over the command of these two companies to Yang Jicai.
It's just that Yang Jicai has not used these two artillery batteries before because they were originally used for other purposes. No matter how tense he was at the front line, he never used these two artillery batteries. The two artillery batteries, with eight guns, have been on covert standby since they were transferred to the front line of Balachrud.
No matter what Yang Jicai's original intention was, he couldn't take care of it at the moment. Now these two artillery batteries, which were originally intended to be used as surprise soldiers, are not used at this time, and it is still waiting for when they will be used. As for the combat distance between the front blocking force and the Japanese army, which is less than 30 meters from each other, whether it will cause accidental injury, Yang Jicai has not considered. How to solve this Japanese army as much as possible is what he needs to do most at the moment.
The Japanese attacked so close in order to avoid artillery fire. If the two armies did not dare to use artillery fire because they were too close to each other, that would be just as the Japanese army meant. Moreover, he also believed that with the technology of artillery, even if the distance between the two armies was less than 30 meters at the moment, it would not cause accidental injury.
And even if it would cause a small amount of accidental injury, he admitted it. It wasn't that he only cared about his own safety, not the safety of the troops in front of him who were fighting fiercely. It was because he was anxious to stabilize the situation of the forward troops and eliminate the enemy forces that had penetrated deep into his defensive line. Breaking the kettle, a little too much. But after weighing the pros and cons, he didn't care too much.
