However, Okamoto Ryuichi's expectations were quickly shattered like soap bubbles.
With Gao Jianwu's explosive attack, the Imperial Alliance Army was defeated like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
A few minutes later, Okamoto Ryuichi received desperate news. At least one battalion of enemies from the rear attacked the machine gun company and mortar company of the Imperial Japanese Army. The military reinforcement camp was defeated!
The news came from the mouth of a company deputy of the Imperial Association Army who had escaped.
In fact, after the Second Japanese Company Lieutenant was killed by Feng Qingshi, he was the fastest person running forward. He did not even try to organize his team to resist.
Because of this, Wang Xikui did not notice and let him go, and first dealt with the Japanese Army officers who tried to organize a resistance. At this time, being dedicated to his job was really seeking death.
As soon as Ryu Okamoto received the news, he immediately felt that it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, because he heard that although the gunshots were loud, the number was not quite right. However, the only thing that could be confirmed was that the Imperial Alliance Army was really hopeless. On.
This back road is indeed copied.
It was a fact that even Feng Qingshi, the leader of the group, was gone, so when he received the news, Okamoto Ryuichi felt bbq on the spot.
What kind of battle is this? Okamoto Ryuichi's head was suddenly filled with blood, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if he had been drunk on fake wine, and his little eyes couldn't turn clearly.
The battle has reached this point, and he has lost his confidence in strategizing.
Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared at the beginning. He intuitively encountered a powerful enemy at the beginning and decisively lowered his profile and shamefully asked the brigade commander for tactical guidance.
This gave him a glimmer of hope now. Otherwise, relying on his Pingcheng Gendarmerie Brigade, today might be completely over.
This current predicament only truly showed the enemy's power before his eyes.
Under such circumstances, if he could pull part of the team away, it would be a non-war crime, and presumably his superiors would not do anything to him.
Because of the firepower seen so far, it can at least be reported that Route 8 is coming and the main brigade of the regular army is causing trouble. The equipment and ammunition of this main brigade are far beyond imagination. At present, the encirclement is still trying to wrap them up and eat them in one bite!
Ambushed? When Okamoto Ryu thought of this idea, his heart was agitated, and he felt a little ridiculous.
In the past, it was completely unimaginable that Route 8 would dare to launch a large-scale attack so close to Pingcheng. It would be a serious disrespect for the powerful strength and mobility of the Locust Army, and would suffer huge losses.
Because Okamoto Ryuichi was convinced that if necessary, the Imperial Alliance Army could mobilize at least one and a half teams in this area within 2 hours.
With the usual firepower and equipment of a Locust Army brigade, it is an overwhelming advantage for the 8th Route Main Regiment. Under the severe lack of long-term ammunition support, it is difficult for the 8th Route's two main regiments, one brigade, to withstand four squadrons of the Locust Army.
This is Okamoto Ryuichi's previous experience, and it is by no means empty talk.
But now it seems that his intelligence has lagged extremely behind. This unknown main force has appeared from Route 8. The number of people in his company is not known yet, but judging from the equipment and firepower displayed, it completely overwhelms the level of a large locust army. .
And there is plenty of ammunition, unlike the ordinary 8-way, which runs out of bullets after a few shots, and can only rely on hand-to-hand combat to win, and in hand-to-hand combat, Okamoto Ryuichi is not a worthy opponent at all.
But today was completely beyond Ryuichi Okamoto's imagination. The Imperial Alliance Army was attacked and collapsed, and the opponent's mortars were like tarsal maggots and could not be eliminated at all.
A decision must be made now.
As a qualified commander, Okamoto Ryuichi must not only learn to win battles, but also be able to accept reality.
It's just that it's really hard to decide where to go now. Whether to retreat back to Pingcheng or continue to break through to Wanjia Town is a difficult decision for Okamoto Ryuichi.
Just when he hesitated, a fierce sound of artillery shells roared into the air!
"Oops, this is a large-caliber mortar, with 90 mm caliber, 80 mm caliber, and 92 infantry cannon!" Ryu Okamoto, who has been in the front line for a long time and is used to hearing the sound of shelling, felt his face instantly when he heard it one by one. Losing color, this is not the mortar of the previous opponent!
He never expected that until now, the opponent would actually hide another artillery team of this size. Obviously, this artillery team had clearly scouted and targeted the position of its artillery team, and then suddenly launched an attack!
"Kill the chicken! Turn tactics toward Wanjia Town!" At the critical moment, Okamoto Ryuichi showed his decisiveness, drew his command knife, and resolutely directed the breakout toward Wanjia Town!
Going back is equivalent to deserting. Okamoto Ryuichi will be greatly questioned because of this. Moreover, the retreat has been cut off by the enemy, and heavy machine guns and other heavy firepower have been captured. It is not easy to break through the retreat and return.
If we break through the siege and go to Wanjia Town and join up with the Mianshan Fortress and Lincheng reinforcements, it seems to be less difficult now. As long as we rush through this section of the road, Okamoto Ryuichi doesn't see any obstacles ahead.
Okamoto Ryuichi did not believe that his opponent still had a large-scale blocking team in front.
This place is already the size of a main brigade, and there are still troops blocking it. It makes no sense. Such a large-scale troop mobilization can avoid the eyes of so many gun tower sentries. Okamoto Ryuichi absolutely does not believe it.
From Okamoto Ryuichi's heart, he now feels that it is safer to go to Wanjia Town to join the main reinforcements.
The little Japanese artillery team was unable to withstand Liu Shiqiang's continuous bombardment.
Liu Shiqiang, who is ready to go, has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. After the first calibration shot, the next ten guns were fired continuously, using almost the same pattern as Han Gang's, holding the barrel of the gun and making real-time fine-tuning. The shells were fired rapidly one after another, scattering 30 large-caliber mortar shells in the air. Within 300 square meters around the Little Japanese artillery squad.
Such a high-intensity bombardment directly annihilated the entire artillery squad of the little Japanese!
The little devils were hiding in the artillery position next to the car ruins on the east side. None of the little devils left a complete body. The 82 mm mortar, the 90 mm small steel cannon and the 92 infantry gun were all in the same distance. Field artillery is worse, but the power of the shells is not inferior.
Not only that.
Liu Shiqiang's bombardment immediately triggered a chain reaction.
Han Gang led a mobile mortar team and an infantry detachment mortar team, and his observers immediately observed the results of Liu Shiqiang's battle.
Losing the threat of opponent's artillery fire, all mortar groups immediately ended their wandering operations and began to fix their positions to observe and select targets for free bombardment!
More than twenty 60mm and 81mm mortars first chose to attack the Japs' machine guns and heavy machine guns. After the first round, the effect was not satisfactory. More than twenty mortar shells missed and brought in more than a dozen Japs. , feeling a little blood loss.
But the effect of the second round skyrocketed, and more than half of the Japs' machine gun firepower points were eliminated at once.
This second wave brought forty or fifty little Japanese machine gunners and ammunition handlers!
In the third round, some mortars could not find the machine gun fire point, so they could only aim at the formation that the Japanese had just assembled, and began to cover the enemy's formation with rapid fire. The mortar shells came one after another, tearing the Japanese enemy's position into pieces!
