Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 159 Request for reinforcements
At ten o'clock in the evening, at this time, except for a few searchlights, the stronghold on the street was completely dark at this time, and most of the soldiers retreated into the barracks and began to rest.

But today is different, the entire stronghold is brightly lit.

More than 1000 Japanese troops, with squadrons as units, quietly lurked in their respective positions, waiting for the arrival of the independent regiment.

On the highway a few miles away, nearly 2000 members of the Independence Regiment were resting in a nearby cornfield.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan, Deputy Chief Feng Tao, Deputy Political Commissar He Wen, Third Battalion Commander Yan Song, Instructor Long Weidong, and four company commanders from the Third Battalion all sat together, waiting for Zeng Quan to give orders.

"Comrades, the first three miles are the strongholds of the Japanese army on the streets. To tell you the truth, there are not more than 1000 Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold, but more than 21 real elite devils."

"Our task is to use one main battalion and two recruit battalions to create the momentum of a main force regiment, forcing the devils in Laiyuan City to send reinforcements here, and then drag the devils here as much as possible!"

"My idea is to concentrate the three battalions into one fist and storm the east side of the Shangjie stronghold. The other three directions are to deploy a main platoon and a recruit company, and keep the pressure on the devils! What do you think!"

"No..." Everyone, including the deputy head Feng Tao, shook their heads and answered.

"Very good, I ordered: one company and one row, one company of recruits, under the command of the company commander of a company of horses, feint to attack the west position of the upper street stronghold!"

"One company and two platoons, two companies of recruits, under the command of you, Old Feng, feint attacking the southern position!"

"Three platoons in one company, three companies of new recruits, you come to command, Lao He, pretend to attack the northern position, and I will personally command the other troops to attack the western position!"

"One more thing, all attacking troops must guarantee to obey orders [-]%, I told them to withdraw from the battlefield, even if they entered the devil's position, they must withdraw!"

"It's ten o'clock in the evening, and the devils must be ready and waiting for us. I plan to grind them for another two hours, and attack after grinding them to a minimum."

"Depart on time at twelve o'clock in the morning, and launch the attack on time at 12:30!"

For the waiting Japanese army, the longer the delay, the worse it is for them.

After all, human energy is limited, and it is impossible to maintain a high level of nervous tension all the time.

At ten o'clock, some devil recruits had already started yawning, and at eleven o'clock, more devils began to yawn.By twelve o'clock, quite a few devils had started to feel sleepy and wanted to sleep.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is coming, everyone, fight back!"

"Bang bang bang..." The devil who was still awake subconsciously pulled the trigger on the pitch-black battlefield in front of him.The sleepy devil subconsciously pulled the trigger regardless of whether he aimed at the target or not.

The battlefield, which was still peaceful just now, suddenly became full of gunshots.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the screeching sound of shells passing through the sky suddenly overwhelmed the sound of gunfire on the battlefield and reached the devil's ears.

The faces of some quick-reacting veterans changed, they subconsciously squatted into the trenches, and then shouted loudly: "Bombardment, everyone, take cover..."

"Boom boom boom..." Before they finished speaking, three explosions rang in their ears, followed by the screams of many people.

The captain, Shao Zuo Aoki, who was located in the middle of the stronghold, could tell at a glance that the main attack direction of the independent regiment was to the west, and then ordered loudly.

"Strengthen the defensive firepower and troops of the western position, notify the artillery, immediately counterattack, and destroy the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army!"

The Shangjie stronghold is equipped with an infantry artillery squad, two mortar squads, and a total of eight artillery pieces with powerful firepower.

Aoki is confident that after the artillery fires, it only takes a few rounds of counterattacks, and the artillery equipped by the independent regiment will become a pile of scrap metal.

At that time, if the Eighth Route Army wants to continue to attack itself, it can only use human lives to fill it.And this is exactly the result that I and the brigade leader want to see most.

Shao Zuo Aoki didn't know that since the independent regiment had artillery, Wang Ping had set a few dead rules for them.

In order to protect the limited artillery, no matter what kind of artillery, you can't stay in one position for more than 1 minute.

The three mortars of the artillery platoon of the third battalion had just fired a five-round rapid fire. In less than half a minute, the artillery team in a group of three rushed to the side of the mortar to dismantle the mortar, and then carried the mortar. The artillery moved to the side position.

When a total of eight artillery pieces of the Japanese army began to counterattack, the original artillery positions were empty.

The violent explosion did not achieve any results except for some craters and fragments on the ground.

Just when Aoki thought that the artillery of the Independence Regiment was gone, three familiar screams reached his ears again.

"Baga, why does the Eighth Route Army still have cannons!"

"Boom boom boom!" Before the exclamation was finished, three violent explosions sounded from the artillery position.

Under the pitch-black night sky, three balls of fire that soared into the sky not far away were particularly dazzling and entered Aoki's field of vision, making Aoki realize that the Eighth Route Army he was facing was not so easy to fight.

After the artillery platoon fired five rounds of rapid fire at the Japanese artillery position, it immediately moved to a new artillery position and continued to fight with the Japanese artillery.

The almost uninterrupted artillery fire not only caused the Japanese army to complain again and again, but also attracted all their artillery fire.It made Shao Zuo Aoki think that he was facing more than three mortars from the Eighth Route Army, which further confirmed that the Eighth Route Army that attacked him was the main force of the independent regiment.

"Your Excellency Captain, the artillery reports that they have lost two mortars. The defenders in the west report that the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower is very strong, with heavy machine guns and grenades. They have lost nearly an infantry squad!"

"Yoxi, it seems that the main force of the independent regiment is undoubtedly attacking us!" Aoki said with a sullen face.

Then he ordered with a serious face: "Drop a squadron from the reserve team to reinforce the western position!"

"Also, call your Excellency the brigade commander. The Eighth Route Army attacking us is determined to be the main force of the independent regiment. The opponent's firepower is strong. The attack has already caused nearly a hundred casualties to our department. The reinforcements can start!"

The independent regiment attacked the position, and seeing the attacking troops back down again, the expression on Zeng Quan's face did not change at all, and he continued to order.

"Let three companies go up in a row, and bring a company of recruits. It's still the old rule. When you rush to the front of the position, you can choose the time to retreat when you rush to 80 meters!"

"Also, let the machine gunners and grenadiers hit the devils on the ground when they find the right opportunity, kill them in large numbers, don't save me ammunition, but you must protect yourself, keep changing positions, and don't be caught by the devils. Watch it!"
