Heyuan County, Little Devils United Headquarters.
After hearing the staff report, the expressions of Wing Commander Yamaoka Ryuken and Chief of Staff Etohiko Shiro suddenly changed. They looked at each other and said in unison:
"There are enemies?!!"
Then the two men immediately rushed out of the room and ran towards the telecommunications room with lightning speed.
They are all veterans on the battlefield, and their sense of smell on the battlefield is extremely keen, and clues can make them aware that the enemy is about to appear!
Soon, Yamaoka Ryuken personally called the troops on duty on the city wall and inquired about the situation in detail.
After learning about the four city walls from their mouths and observing birds flying in the woods in the distance, he couldn't help but take a breath.
——This is definitely a sign that a large group of enemies is about to attack!
He quickly roared and ordered:
"Gather the troops immediately and prepare to go up the city wall!"
Then he called on the elite soldiers of the squadron he brought with him and ran towards the nearest southern city wall.
Before leaving the house, he took out an exquisite golden pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time. He saw that the time pointed to 9:50!
Suddenly, I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, and cursed secretly: These bastards are so vicious. They don't sleep at night, and they actually come to find trouble with my locust army!
My uncle can't bear it, but my aunt can't!
…
Just as Yamaoka Ryuken and his men were rushing towards the city wall, outside the south city gate, Yang Yuanshan had ordered the company commanders to wake up his men, get up, check their equipment, load bullets, and prepare to charge.
It was their actions that caused many birds in the woods to start flying, and the owl even made a shrill call that could be heard thousands of meters away.
Instructor Zhou Xianpei saw it and asked quickly:
“Batalion Commander, should you tell your comrades to move more slowly?
This bird is disturbing, I'm afraid the enemies on the city wall will notice it. "
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:
“Lao Zhou, don’t worry.
Soon we launched a general attack, and more of the little devils were attracted to the city wall, just in time!
When we start shelling, we might be able to kill a few more enemies. "
"All right."
Zhou Xianpei is always speechless about Yang Yuanshan's commanding style.
But since the other party has never lost a battle, it's hard for him to say anything.
Soon, the soldiers were ready.
Wang Gensheng, commander of the first artillery company, Li Dahe, commander of the third company, Wang Ye, commander of the guard company, and Wei Dayong, commander of the special operations company, came up to report:
"Battal Commander, we are all ready."
"good!
Gensheng, the two infantry guns of the third company and the 40mm anti-aircraft gun I specially left behind are also under your command.
You give priority to knocking down the two gun towers at the city gate, and then bomb the city gate!
Be sure to open a charge channel for the soldiers of the infantry company as soon as possible! "
"Yes! Don't worry, battalion commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
Although there are only 7 cannons in hand now, Wang Gensheng is still very confident in completing this task.
The gunners under him now were not the rookies who had fought against Heyuan County for the first time.
After many bloody battles and live-fire training without sparing artillery shells, the gunners of the first artillery company were able to compete with the Japanese gunners.
Although they did not go to middle school or study mathematics and physics like the little devil gunners, they each had some local methods and personal experience, and they were not bad at shooting cannons.
The hatred of the country and the family makes them suffer more than the little Japanese gunners!
In training, they put in 300% of their efforts!
One month's training effect is enough to compare with three months for a little Japanese gunner!
And he himself, after being injured last time, had been lying in bed to recuperate for several months, and his hands had long been extremely itchy.
During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, he repeatedly pondered his artillery skills in his mind. He felt that his skills had greatly improved, and now it was time to try the artillery with the little Japanese!
How can live-fire training be really enjoyable?
“Considering that the Japs also have artillery, your mountain artillery and anti-aircraft guns must be deployed 3,000 meters away to prevent them from being hit by the Japs’ infantry artillery.
We can use the range to bully them, there is no reason not to use it! "
Yang Yuanshan explained again.
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I have already arranged the gun positions."
Wang Gensheng patted his chest and promised.
When the soldiers were resting, he himself took advantage of the dark to observe everywhere for a long time, and had already selected the gun position.
Seeing how confident he was, Yang Yuanshan nodded, turned around and nodded the names of Li Dahe and Wang Ye:
"Li Dahe and Wang Ye, once Gensheng starts shelling the Little Japs turret, you two companies of 14 heavy machine guns will advance to a position about 600 meters outside the gate of Little Japs, and prepare to suppress the Japs on the wall with fire. , making it easier for the soldiers to charge!
As long as the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower dares to be exposed, you must use at least two heavy machine guns to suppress every firepower point of the enemy.
Even if the little devil has deployed a large force on the south wall, it will only have 8 to 12 heavy machine guns at most. The number is not as good as yours, so you must not let it slip.
Understand? "
"clear!"
"Before the city gate is blown open, I will not let the soldiers charge, and you should not open fire yet, lurk in the darkness and wait, and do not be exposed.
You can't hide unless the Japs fire flares. "
Yang Yuanshan added another sentence.
"yes!"
"Other infantrymen, wait for the artillery company to blow open the city gate, and then listen to the bugle squad to blow the trumpet. No one is allowed to move without the trumpet sound. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot directly!
In this battle, we not only want to win, but also reduce casualties!
In this battle, siege is just the appetizer!
The fun is yet to come! "
"clear!"
All company commanders agreed in unison.
Although his voice was small, his tone was firm.
"Battalion Commander, what are our special operations companies doing?"
Seeing that other companies had received tasks, Wei Dayong asked impatiently.
"Monk, your special operations company will be kept as a reserve for the time being!
If something unexpected happens, it's up to you. "
Yang Yuanshan answered.
"What? Reserves?
Battalion Commander, why don't you let us charge?
I guarantee that I will be able to capture the Little Devil City Gate! "
Wei Dayong became anxious on the spot.
Their special operations company is the most powerful company in the entire battalion. Why should they be a reserve team?
"Monk, this is a military order! Do you want to disobey it?"
Yang Yuanshan said coldly.
Although he appreciates the other party, this is a war and there is no room for a second voice!
Seeing Yang Yuanshan's serious expression, Wei Dayong didn't dare to stab him, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Xizi, your sharpshooter squad is free to move around. Prioritize the officers and machine gunners who kill the Japs!"
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
Wang Xikui's sharpshooter class now has 26 people, which can be described as an extremely powerful force in a night attack scenario.
Not even weaker than a company in combat effectiveness!
…
After some arrangements, everyone in the secret service camp understood their tasks.
At 9:55, Yang Yuanshan ordered them to start taking action and approach the city wall.
Naturally, the sound of hundreds of people running could not be concealed by the little Japanese sentries on the city wall who were doing their duty.
They immediately screamed:
"There's something going on in the distance!"
"Quickly, go report to the captain!"
"It's a large group of enemies!"
"Blow the whistle! Be alert!"
"Fire flares!"
…
Just when the little devil was in a panic, it was already 10 o'clock, and Yang Yuanshan immediately gave the order:
"fire!"
Following this order, several firelights flashed from the gun emplacement not far away, and a series of loud noises shattered the dark night!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
The little devil screamed horribly:
"Bombardment!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Quick, quick, avoid the cannon!"
"Tubalu is calling!"
"Run! Your Excellency, the squadron leader, is broken!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
"I don't want to earn military pay anymore, I want to retire!"
…
As soon as the cannon fired, Yamaoka Ryuken's expression changed wildly as he was running towards the southern city wall.
He quickly stood up and said to Etohiko Shiro:
"Eito-kun, hurry up and order the telegraph operator to send a message to the Chief of Staff Hanagani!
A large number of enemies are besieging our Heyuan County. With the combat effectiveness of our unit, I am afraid that we can only hold on for three days at most! "
"Nani?
Your Excellency, Captain, our Locust Army has more than 3,000 people. Although its combat effectiveness is poor, relying on the solid fortifications and gun towers, it will not fall in three days, right? "
Eto Hikoshiro's face was full of shock.
Although he also knew that the current combat effectiveness of the Provisional Military Police Regiment was very low, he did not expect Yamaoka Ryuuken to be so unsure!
"Eito-kun, listen to the sound of these cannons, they are Type 41 75mm mountain cannons!
Judging from the number, there are at least four or five.
Tubal Road has always been in short supply of heavy weapons, and their behavior now is enough to show that the other party is bound to win Heyuan County! "
The mountain dragon's face is as cold as frost.
Hearing this, Etohiko Shiro felt anxious and nodded quickly.
"Yo Xi, your Excellency the captain, I will send a report immediately and ask for tactical guidance!"
However, before he could turn around, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons coming from all around the county almost at the same time!
He quickly turned to look at Yamaoka Ryuken, and then saw huge fear in his eyes!
The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant - Heyuan County may not be able to be saved!
Etohiko Shiro asked quickly:
"Your Excellency, Captain, shall we move in immediately?
Since Tubal Road is besieged from all sides, I'm afraid the number of people will be several times ours! "
Yamaoka Ryuken was very conflicted on the surface, and he obviously wanted to run away.
But when he thought of Hanatani Junyuki's high expectations when he sent him, he gritted his teeth and made a decision:
"No!
Hanaya-kun is still waiting to see our performance!
I want to hold on!
There is no guarantee that the reinforcements sent by Mr. Huagu will arrive tomorrow. As long as there are more than one regiment of reinforcements, no matter how many people there are in this Tuba group, they cannot be the opponent of our Great Fuso Locust Army! "
"Your Excellency, Captain, since you have made up your mind, I would like to suggest that you immediately order the locust warriors from this squadron we brought to serve as a military law team and patrol the city walls to enforce strict military discipline.
I am worried that the prodigal people and foreigners in the regiment will be afraid to fight and flee when they see Tubal Road is so powerful! "
Eto Hikoshiro suggested.
"Yo Xi, Wei Teng-kun's words make sense!
I will arrange it!
Go and send the report quickly! "
"Hi!
Your Excellency, Wing Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff Hanagani, if you ask how many enemies there are, how should you reply? "
"The enemy is besieging us on all sides, with artillery on all sides. It is estimated that they are at least the main force of a division!"
"Hi!"
