The Japanese skirmisher line slowly took shape, and fire suppression was carried out on the other side of the river from time to time.
As long as the Eighth Route Army has a firing position, the Japanese will take care of it with machine gun bullets and grenades.
The trajectory was clearly visible in the dark.
The Eighth Route Army occupies a favorable location and also takes care of the Japanese heavy firepower positions on the other side from time to time.
The Japanese did not approach the river bank directly. Perhaps they felt that there was no need to continue taking risks and had to wait for the Japanese staff to hold a meeting to decide on the method of attack.
For the Eighth Route Army, countless soldiers held their breath, determined to stop the Japanese on the other side of the river for the sake of the wounded.
Another scream of artillery shells rang out from the direction of the Japs. People on both sides of the river could hear it clearly, and they began to attack again. Perhaps, the Japs' attack was about to begin.
Although the Eighth Route Army had few mortars, they still fired back.
The distance between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait was too close, and the Japanese sent countless grenade launchers to the east bank. They sent continuous high-ballistic grenades to the east bank, kicking up soil and flying rocks, once again making the hazy moonlit night filled with smoke, and rumbles echoed in the night sky.
Then, the light and heavy machine guns also officially launched suppression. Under the cover of tanks, the first wave of large-scale attack charges began.
Torches and car lights illuminated everything west of the bridge.
Because the military division accidentally captured the stone bridge, the armored vehicle with the machine gun removed drove to the east bank. Li Xiang's stretcher was next to the armored vehicle, and several figures clumsily installed machine guns in the armored vehicle.
The location and movement of the Japanese are determined, the battle situation is clear, and it is a standard positional battle.
Therefore, if there are armored vehicles and iron bastards at the bridgehead, it will be very difficult for the Japanese to cross the river. The only problem is that the Japanese on the other side of the river have tanks!
This Iron King is completely different from an armored vehicle. The tank gun itself is a direct-fire gun. The armored vehicle is not enough to see in front of the tank. However, the maintenance soldiers came up with a way: dig half a bunker for the armored vehicle and pile sandbags on the ground...
The battle was personally directed by Commander Zeng.
Two hundred meters away from the stone bridge, a meeting was being held in a temporarily dug-out divisional headquarters. The divisional commander analyzed the situation reported by each department clearly, and then praised the independent regiment several times. Several district captains, including the injured The secret service chiefs all say that the independent regiments are all good.
Then, the commander changed his tone: "There are two more tough battles to be fought now. One is to block the Japanese attack. The other is that I analyzed it with the staff and found that the county town's defense is weak now, so we are ready to capture the county town at night!"
This statement immediately caused a stir! The leader of the special agent group had the biggest reaction: "We were ambushed in Qixian County. This time we skidded into County. The special agent group must regain its face. Our main attack is!"
Your main attack is nothing, you take good care of yourself, I just want you to tell us what difficulties you encountered in the city, so that we can sum it up.
Uh, Commander, our special group is strong enough to form a company. When we are all gone, you can come up again. Whoever fights against me will be in a hurry.
"Shut up, I'm still here. When will it be your turn to go crazy here?" The commander directly scolded the leader of the secret service group who had a bandage on his head and hung it on his chest.
Commander, will you just give me this chance?
Give you a chance? I didn't give it to you? Your special agent team entered the city with three companies, but I lost two of them! I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet. Believe it or not, I will demote you to the position of company commander!
"Commander, let's talk about business, business is more important." Commander Lu quickly advised.
The commander said with a dark face: "Hey, it's not like we have never done this before. When we were still in the Red Army, we attacked many county towns. Everyone said that we would share our experience in fighting county towns!"
Captain Lu was a little puzzled. Didn't he hold a meeting before attacking Qiqi County? Why did he talk about it again this time? What kind of medicine is sold in the commander's gourd?
Don't look at me, Lao Lu. If I remember correctly, your independent regiment seems to have attacked Meixian once. It is said that the Japanese who entered the mountains to raid were frightened back to the city. I planned to ask you at the last meeting, but I was too busy. Before I had time, I said it properly this time.
Captain Lu said with a black line: "That was done by the Ninth Company before. How about I ask him to tell me?"
The commander did ask about the independent regiment's attack on the county town during the last meeting.
The tone of the question was completely untrue, and I didn’t even believe it. I thought the Independent Group was a blind cat that met a dead mouse.
The briefing in the division only said that the independent regiment fought a few times at the gate of Meixian City, and then the Japanese came back with reinforcements. Can that also be called an attack on the county town?
Since meeting the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment, the commander felt that Hu Yi, the commander of the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment, really had a lot of skills, and he had quite a few "talented people and strangers" under his command!
The military divisions are not without talents who can drive, but there are none who have driven on the battlefield.
Last time, we finally exchanged an armored vehicle from the Ninth Company. In fact, both the commander and the staff regretted it for a long time.
That thing made me feel comfortable looking at it, but it couldn't be used at all. It could only be used as a treasure and had to be hidden and tucked away.
No, I finally saw how powerful that guy was when he charged. In the past, when the Japanese raided and broke through the enemy's defenses, they all relied on crowds!
The armored vehicle of the Independent Regiment was different this time. It rushed directly to the enemy's position casually. The enemy had nothing to do with the armored vehicle. It was just like when I used to attack the enemy armored vehicle. If I didn't get close and use cluster grenades or explosive packs, I couldn't do anything about the Iron Bastard. .
Since that Captain Hu has fought in the county, he at least has some experience to draw on, right?
At this point, it never hurts to learn a little more.
After receiving the order, Hu Yi quickly jumped into the ditch, and the tent in the pit was lit with a lantern.
The light was so dim that I couldn't even see the faces of everyone present clearly.
They were all covered in gunpowder smoke, and you might not be able to tell the difference just by wiping your black face with a towel.
Based on his body shape, he quickly stood behind the political commissar.
Hu Yi did not stand at attention or make a report. He was calm, calm and casual.
He didn't know why he was called again during the branch meeting. Maybe it had something to do with the armored vehicles?
The staff officer did not waste time: "Well, Captain Hu, we are now preparing to attack the county. I heard that you have attacked Meixian before. Can you give us some experience?"
Hu Yi heard the voice of the staff officer asking questions in person, and couldn't help but be stunned. The last time he attacked the county?
Does the division also know?
Now that the Japanese are pursuing them in large numbers, we should first consider retreating, right?
Since the district is planning to conquer the county seat, it must have the purpose of conquering the county seat, and I don’t need to know.
We can only analyze how to arrange the layout from a military perspective...
Hu Yi consciously searched the past in his mind. Before crossing the river, he habitually carefully observed the terrain outside the eastern county.
There is a circular moat outside the city with a suspension bridge on the river. It looks like a brick and rammed earth wall.
The height should be about ten meters, standard plain county layout.
Isn't the division a nine-two artillery project? There is no problem in capturing the county seat. The staff asked himself, what does this mean?
Thinking of this, he asked directly: "I heard that there is a 92-gun in the division? Can't we just blow down the city gate?"
"It's not as simple as you think. Since the Japanese have established positions at the bridgehead, do you think they won't block the city gate with sandbags?" The commander immediately answered Hu Yi's question.
"Have the enemy forces in the city been clearly deployed?" Hu Yi didn't believe that the military division had not made preparations in advance.
"The strength of the troops in the city is interesting. There is almost one platoon of puppet troops, one company of security corps, and there are only a dozen or so Japs. The rest are the detective team and the police... At this time, most of them are close to us. The information on the west city wall...is absolutely accurate." The staff officer quickly explained the deployment of personnel and troops in the city.
Hu Yi frowned subconsciously, and his thoughts were suddenly drawn back to the battlefield and the military academy: "Siege warfare is mainly divided into street fighting and siege warfare. The purpose of the fighting is to seize buildings, resources, strategic locations, annihilate enemies, or other purposes. Generally speaking, There is no need to do it unless it is a last resort, because the attacking party will have to pay a huge price to achieve the goal..."
The tent suddenly became quiet. A company commander was giving a lecture to the brigade-level military division commander?
Who among you does not know these theories?
Captain Lu was stunned, even a little bit dumbfounded.
Of course he often read books about war. Of course he knew everything Hu Yi said.
This allows you to talk about combat experience but you talk about military theory? Although a company commander can say this, it shows that his military quality is not low, but don't you look at where he is now?
Except for the young comrade who made the record, who here has not crossed more bridges than you, Hu Yi, have walked?
Are you, Hu Yi, trying to play an axe? Playing with a machete in front of Guan Gong?
Come on, are you trying to embarrass the Independent Group...
