The captain did not leave the roof immediately after giving the order.
Judging from the current battle situation, the key point to defend the station is to the east. He was afraid that as soon as his front foot left, the east defense line would be breached.
Holding the telescope, he stared motionlessly at the east side of the station.
"Rumble..."
The third round of explosive packets fired by the thunder cannon began to explode, and more than 20 fireballs with a height of tens of meters rose from the blocking position again.
As you can imagine: even if not all of the more than two hundred soldiers stationed there were killed, very few were left.
The commander's face immediately became more solemn. While observing the battle situation, he prayed in his heart that reinforcements would rush to the battlefield quickly and build a third line of defense to block the Eighth Route Army's offensive.
Otherwise, once the Eighth Route Army enters the garrison, everything will be over.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, a string of horse hoofbeats completely shattered the commander's dream of blocking the Eighth Route Army's offensive.
The Eighth Route Army's thunder cannons had just fired the third round of explosives. Hundreds of cavalrymen were like a group of wild horses, quickly passing by the chariot troops and hundreds of infantrymen. The cavalry soldiers held up their sabers and horse rifles, howling and charging. Towards the blocking position still shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
"BaGeYaLu... it's the cavalry..." the regiment leader cried out.
"The Eighth Route Army actually sent out cavalry to raid our blocking position..."
"What a powerful opponent..."
"The troops in the blocking position have almost lost their combat effectiveness and will certainly not be able to stop the cavalry assault."
"Their assault speed is so fast, the reinforcements will definitely not have time to build a third line of defense... The station is over..."
The idea of establishing a third line of defense was proposed by the Chief of Staff.
Facing the hundreds of cavalrymen from the Eighth Route Army who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Because they never considered flying thunder cannons and cavalry in their battle plans.
If only one of the two is wrong, they can still find a way to remedy it.
If two accidents happen at the same time, even the king of heaven and I will not be able to save them.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
The scream of a string of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly came over the head of the regiment commander. Three artillery brigades counterattacked at the same time, and the sound was much louder than the cannon fired by one brigade just now.
The captain shouted with the last glimmer of hope as if grasping the last straw in despair.
"We still have a chance..."
"Let the artillery troops immediately kill the Eighth Route Army artillery and turn around to attack the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops."
"If it is only a cavalry unit that attacks the station without the cover of infantry and chariots, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it will not be able to do anything to us."
"Let the tank squadron go up first, block the Eighth Route Army's cavalry offensive, and buy time for the artillery to destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery unit, quickly..."
…………
Huang Yu is coordinating all the artillery units under his command at the former enemy headquarters of the Sixth Army Division in the Yizhong Base Area.
"Deputy Chief of Staff...the Japanese army has mobilized three more artillery brigades to participate in the battle." the artillery observer reported nervously.
"The kid's trump card has been revealed..." Huang Yu had figured out the real strength of the kid yesterday and ordered immediately.
"Immediately contact all artillery units that have not yet participated in the war..."
"Launch a counterattack immediately, strive to end the battle within five minutes, paralyze the Japanese artillery units, and make them lose their combat effectiveness."
The telephone soldier on the side grabbed the phone and started making calls.
As soon as Huang Yu returned to the observation port, a new correspondent ran towards him.
"Deputy Chief of Staff..."
"The 1st Brigade Cavalry Battalion has been ordered to attack and is raiding the Japanese blocking positions."
"So fast?" Huang Yu quickly raised the telescope.
More than 300 cavalrymen rushed towards the Japanese blocking position, with a powerful assault capability no less than that of a tank squadron.
The two sides were less than 100 meters apart, but the Japanese blocking position was still filled with smoke and there were few gunshots.
Seeing this, Huang Yu decisively shifted his gaze to the back of the blocking position. While looking at it, he ordered: "After the baptism of flying thunder cannons, there are not many people in the Japanese blocking position."
"The cavalry battalion will definitely be taken down easily."
"Let the follow-up attacking troops rush into the Japanese camp immediately. The infantry remember to bring anti-tank guns."
"The Japanese station also has many tanks hidden there."
"I found one and destroyed the other. It would be better if I could capture them."
"Alert the cavalry."
"When you encounter Japanese tank troops and the main force, don't fight head-on."
"The tanks and mortars equipped by the subsequent offensive troops are not vegetarian."
"Be sure to disperse the Japanese and explode them before launching a surprise attack."
…………
On the blockade line one kilometer directly south of the Japanese army station, the troops waiting for reinforcements under the command of Kong Jie were ready for an assault.
More than twenty mortars were placed in three rows behind the tanks and infantry.
All scouts were sent out to closely monitor every move of the Japanese returning troops.
"Commander..." A scout rushed to Kong Jie to report.
"The Japanese are coming, two reinforced squadrons..."
"Mortars and heavy machine guns are carried on the shoulders..."
"It's the same as last time, pulling eight large vehicles, covered with raincloths, and most of them are anti-tank guns and rapid-fire guns that they secretly equipped."
"Where in the team are the anti-tank guns and rapid-fire guns?" Kong Jie smiled after hearing the report. After waiting for so long, he finally found his opponent. He stared at the scout expectantly and asked.
"Central and forward..." The scout immediately told what he saw.
"There are two infantry squads at the front, followed by anti-tank guns and rapid-fire artillery, then heavy machine guns and mortars, and finally four infantry squads."
"snort……"
Kong Jie snorted coldly and said: "You little devil is so scheming..."
"Use two squads to block us head-on and buy time for the anti-tank artillery unit to set up artillery."
"When we eliminate their two infantry squads and the tanks arrive in front of the anti-tank, they can reap the benefits and destroy all the tanks we equipped. Then they use heavy machine guns and mortars to block our offensive, and the infantry Take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and destroy us..."
"But they don't know that we have seen through their combat thinking."
"The artillery units were immediately ready to fire."
"When the Japanese rapid-fire guns and anti-tank guns enter the mortar coverage area, they will fire, blowing up all the little devils around the anti-tank guns, and turning the trump card that the Japanese army has high hopes for into a pile of scrap metal."
"Other troops simultaneously launched a counterattack against the Japanese returning troops and destroyed them."
The squadron leader of the Japanese army followed the anti-tank, wanting to see with his own eyes the scene of the Eighth Route Army tank troops being destroyed by anti-tank guns.
When we were still more than a thousand meters away from the station, we suddenly ordered: "The troops will be on alert and prepare for battle."
"We are about to return to our base. If the Eighth Route Army sends troops to intercept us, the enemy will definitely be in front... boom boom boom..."
Whatever he said came, before the order was finished, the sound of artillery shell explosions sounded in front of his eyes. m.
The artillery fire coverage area in front of us was determined by the Eighth Route Army after a long period of measurement. More than 20 mortars were all aimed at this area.
Kong Jie gave an order, and more than twenty cannonballs seemed to have eyes, with a hit rate of more than 80%.
The fire splashed, and a large vehicle was blown over on the spot, and the anti-tank gun hit the ground at the same time.
Some people died, but not completely...
