Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 876 Attacking Linfen (third update!)
"Regimental Commander, the Commander has returned a telegram. From now on, the [-]rd Brigade directly under our command will be under our command. The Commander has issued an order for us to contact the [-]rd Brigade directly!" the communication platoon leader reported excitedly as soon as he rushed to Wang Ping. .

"Order..." Wang Ping began to give orders with a smile on his face.

"The third regiment, with companies and platoons as a unit, avoids the Japanese air force and assembles towards Linfen City. It must be in place before eleven o'clock in the evening!"

"The Assault Battalion has also started to move, with companies and platoons as units, gathering towards Linfen City!"

"The armored company, the guard company, the anti-aircraft machine gun company, we will act after dark... At that time, I will ask the political commissar to arrange a car to transport everyone there!"

In the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, Major Gao Tian, ​​who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the left-behind Japanese army, was in a bad mood, even a little bored.

All the materials and ammunition temporarily hoarded by the front army at the train station were lost. Although he was not directly responsible, he could not escape joint responsibility.After all, the safety of the railway station is also responsible to a certain extent.

Of course, this is not the thing that bothers him the most. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a tall man to support him. He is just a captain of the supply brigade, and there are so many captains of the infantry brigade, chief of staff, and even brigade commanders. After a series of responsibilities are divided, when it is my turn, there will be at most one punishment.

What really bothered him was Linfen City, the safety of Linfen City.

Last night, not only the train station was lost, but the limited defenders also lost two of the most elite infantry brigades.

Now, in the entire city of Linfen, there is only one Gendarmerie Squadron and one Wounded Soldier Squadron that can really be regarded as infantry, and the rest are all artillery and heavy soldiers. But even so, the total strength of the Imperial Army is only more than 700 people.

Linfen City is too big, and after the troops of more than 700 people are dispersed to all the city defense fortifications, there are basically not many.

Without a reserve team in hand, that is a taboo in war.

In order to prevent this from happening, Shao Zuo Gao Tian had to use the Imperial Association Army, which he had never trusted, to send them to the city defense fortifications, and replace a squadron of military police as a reserve team.

The lack of troops defending the city was what Major Gao Tian was most worried about. He was deeply afraid that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly launch an attack on Linfen City knowing that the city was empty of troops.

Fortunately for Shao Zuo Gao Tian, ​​the Eighth Route Army that captured the train station last night did not take the opportunity to attack Linfen.

After thinking about it, Major Gao Tian thought of a reasonable reason: "Although there are not many defenders in Linfen City, the city has high walls and strong fortifications. In addition, there are a large number of weapons and ammunition in the city. The Eighth Route Army wants to To win Linfen City, you will definitely pay a very heavy price. It is for this reason that Linfen City was not attacked last night."

However, this kind of luck disappeared from Shao Zuo Gao Tian's face as night fell over Linfen City again.

"Sir, we found the Eighth Route Army outside the city!"

"Nani..." Shao Zuo Gao Tian stood up from his seat after a while, staring at his subordinates and asked.

"How many of them are there? What's the purpose of running outside Linfen City!"

"Not many, they are all active in units of shifts, and it is not clear what their purpose is now!"

"Bageya Road, now appearing outside the city, must have come for Linfen City under our feet. Order, all garrisons in the city defense fortifications should strengthen their vigilance. As long as someone approaches our fortifications, there is no need to ask for instructions, and they will fight back directly!"

The adjutant next to him immediately replied: "The humble officer will give orders immediately... Also, should we inform the Fifth Battalion who entered the city during the day, although they only have two squadrons left, they are all elite... Do you want them to also strengthen their vigilance?" , ready to join the battle at any time!"

"Of course!" Major Gao Tian replied without thinking.

"If the Eighth Route Army really wants to attack Linfen City, the Fifth Battalion is the key to whether we can hold Linfen City. Not only must we notify, but also invite their deputy captain, Captain Baotian, to come to the headquarters to assist me in commanding the troops. I have experience!"

Because of the short march distance, Jin Kai's assault battalion rushed to the outside of Linfen City as soon as it got dark.

Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops were heavily guarded, Jin Kai's idea of ​​sneak attack was directly shattered.

"Attack directly!" Jin Kai suddenly decided in front of several company commanders.

"Battalion Commander, should we wait for the Commander's order, or despise the Commander before fighting!" the instructor cautiously reminded.

"No... There must be no problem with the head of the regiment!" Jin Kai had been following Wang Ping during the day, and Jin Kai knew very well the purpose and urgency of Wang Ping's attack on Linfen City.

Of course, Jin Kai more or less knew a little bit of Wang Ping's confidence and reason for insisting on taking down Linfen City.

Explaining to the political commissar: "The Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen City are short of troops. We are attacking now for one purpose, to consume a lot of their troops. When the regiment commander arrives, we will suddenly launch an attack, use armored vehicles, quickly break through the Japanese and puppet defense lines, and kill them. Linfen City!"

"Of course, there is a condition for doing this. The little devils in the city don't have extra troops to reinforce the breakthrough."

"Once they have extra troops to attack our commandos, the armored vehicles entering the city will become living targets for the little devils, and the siege battle will also turn into a street battle. Maybe we will not be able to completely control Linfen City until dawn. Because , Linfen City is really too big!"

"So, I plan to consume more Japanese and puppet troops before the head of the regiment comes over, and try to force the devils to transfer all the troops in the city to the city defense fortifications, so that Linfen City will become an empty city that is tight on the outside and loose on the inside!"

The company commanders didn't have so many worries, they just wanted to fight and kill devils.

As soon as Jin Kai finished speaking, several people asked eagerly: "Battle Commander, how to fight? You give the order!"

Jin Kai directly ordered: "Didn't the guns of the artillery company be replaced with mortars before departure? One company is equipped with a mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun platoon. Attack from three directions at the same time!"

"Three companies, I don't need you to occupy as many positions as the little devils, or how many meters to advance. Do the math yourself. Before the regiment commander comes over, each company will kill a hundred Japanese and puppet troops for me. How to fight, you guys You have the final say, how much shells and bullets to use, and how much I will replenish for you after the battle is over!"

"Da da da……"

The gunshots sounded first in the east of Linfen City, and it was the devil who fired first.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army approaching the position, a little devil with a strong firepower broke his gun.

"Da da da……"

The [-]st company attacking from the east immediately returned fire.

Light machine guns, heavy machine guns, just a volley of bullets flying around the firing holes, and sparks flying everywhere.

The heavy machine gun that was screaming happily misfired instantly and lost its movement.

There is no doubt that the counterattack just now had bullets drilled into the bunker from the firing holes, and killed the little devil machine gunner.

But just a few seconds later, the gunshots rang out again.

This time, the little devil directly exposed all three bunkers in front of Yilian.
