Defeat the enemy

"Bang..." A violent slap on the table came from Luo Qiyuan's office. The combat room, which was separated from the office by a wall, suddenly became as quiet as death.

Luo Qiyuan, the teacher, was angry. As the staff closest to the commander, he did not want to pull the anger in the commander's heart to himself. One by one, the combat staff quickly returned to their positions and sat upright. While paying attention to the every move of the commander Luo Qiyuan's office, he was busy working on his work in an orderly manner. [] Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!

In the office of the division commander Luo Qiyuan, facing the day's battle report just counted on the table, including the commander of the first regiment Peng Jiaxin and the commander of the second regiment Cao Yongxue, the three of them were silent. They frowned and were thinking about what they were thinking.

More than 1,100 officers and soldiers died on the battlefield, and more than 200 officers and soldiers were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield. Of course, while a large number of soldiers were lost, a regiment of various light and heavy weapons also lost about 50%. In just one day, the entire regiment paid a huge price outside the city.

As the protagonist Peng Jiaxin, who fought outside the city for a whole day and suffered heavy losses, had already been shrouded in his heart by a strong air. After a minute of silence, he spoke directly in his rough voice and said, "Secretary seat, I request the field artillery regiment to join the battle and destroy the Central Army's mountain artillery troops in one fell swoop." "Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!

"As long as the opponent does not have mountain cannons to provide fire support, with the advantageous cannons in our hands, they will definitely blow up the enemy's corpse and have no courage to attack us."

"It's not easy to destroy the enemy's mountain artillery troops..." Luo Qiyuan, who had experienced bloody battles against Japan, had become accustomed to life and death, did not lose his mind because of the heavy casualties of the troops. He spoke to his general Peng Jiaxin with a serious expression.

". According to the information, the Central Army was equipped with two mountain artillery battalions, which were 36 various mountain artillery. In a day's battle, the opponent was fully committed and only exposed the two mountain artillery companies in his hands. Even if we had a regiment of field artillery in our hands, we were unable to start because we were not sure about the specific target of the shelling."

The voice of the division commander Luo Qiyuan had just fallen. During the day of battle, the regiment commander Cao Yongxue, who had been acting as a bystander, spoke: "Teacher, Lao Peng, the enemy used this kind of joint shooting method of the insurgent and cannon that day is very cunning..."

"Relying on my own military strength advantages and a certain amount of heavy firepower, step by step, slowly consume the limited forces of our defenders..."

"We will lose half of the regiment's strength in just one day's battle. So, what about the next time... two days, or even three days later, with the enemy's uninterrupted attack, how many troops can the entire Zaozhuang be left? On the other hand, although the Central Army outside the city's one day's attack also caused them to lose a regiment. However, we should not forget that the opponent has more than six regiments in his hands. At this consumption rate, in less than three days, Zaozhuang will fall into the opponent's hands..."

"In order to avoid the occurrence of this result, I think. Now it is not to study how to deal with the enemy's attack method, but to find ways to change the entire tactics and tactics, and no longer be led by the enemy's attack..."

Although Cao Yongxue's words were unpleasant, Luo Qiyuan and Peng Jiaxin, who were in anger and confusion, listened to them.

Especially Peng Jiaxin, who had been in a misunderstanding and had always wanted to find the place on the battlefield, suddenly lit up, staring at Cao Yongxue beside him, and asked, "Old Cao, do you have any good solutions..."

"What you just said is too right. We can no longer be beaten by the Central Army outside the city. We must take the initiative in the entire battle. Otherwise, no matter how many troops you have, they will be consumed by the opponent's round after round of attacks..."

Under the gaze of Peng Jiaxin and Luo Qiyuan, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Cao Yongxue's face. After shaking his head, he said, "Old Peng, you look down on me too much. If there is a way, I just said it, and I won't wait until now. However, I know a fact. I hope it can be helpful to the teacher and you. 'Observation is the best defense'. We must not stay in the city because of insufficient troops and conduct completely passive defense..."

"Observation is the best defense..." After quickly reminiscing about this sentence, the team leader Peng Jiaxin was directly covered by a helpless expression and he spoke.

"Old Cao, as you said just now: If we have enough troops in our hands and rely on our firepower advantage, we can indeed fight the enemy's counterattack and defeat the Central Army surrounded outside the city in one fell swoop. However, we have only so many troops in our hands. After a day of battle, there will be even fewer soldiers who can fight. Just rely on these troops to attack the enemy, what if the attack fails? In my opinion, this is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and speeding up the fall of Zaozhuang."

And at this moment, Luo Qiyuan, who had just been silent, spoke: "Old Peng, it is not impossible to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Central Army outside the city..."

Seeing Peng Jiaxin quickly cast his doubtful eyes, Commander Luo Qiyuan did not pause and explained directly: "In addition to our two main regiments and one artillery regiment, there is also a local garrison regiment. Although the Zaozhuang garrison regiment has just been formed for a month and has not participated in any battles. However, this garrison regiment has two thousand officers and soldiers equipped with teeth."

"Although two thousand new recruits equipped with teeth cannot be used to attack. However, it is more than enough to put them on the defense line to defend. In this way, the mobile forces in our hands will be directly increased to a regiment..."

"Boom boom boom..." The violent explosion of shells sounded on the battlefield, and the battle stopped all night, and it started again because of the beginning of the shelling.

Although the battle of yesterday caused heavy losses to the Central Army, the huge results of annihilation of at least half of the enemy regiment still moved and jealous everyone, including Commander Shen Qimin.

It should be clear that according to this kind of battle, according to the number of troops of the defenders in Zaozhuang City, the defenders in Zaozhuang City will be consumed by their own continuous attacks. Of course, without the defenders, Zaozhuang, the gateway leading to the entire southern Shandong, will easily fall into his own hands.

Thinking of this, more than a dozen officers, led by Wu Jiamin, were all watching the changes in the battle situation with a passionate look on their faces.

The ten-minute attack was fleeting. Although the attacking troops of a battalion suffered heavy losses and did not even touch the edge of the opponent's blocking position. However, the hot expressions that enveloped everyone's faces did not dissipate at all. They looked at the commander-in-chief Wu Jiamin as soon as possible, waiting for Wu Jiamin to issue a new attack order.

At this moment, Wu Jiamin was staring at the eyes of the defeated troops, and suddenly a trace of unknown excitement flashed across. He asked thoughtfully at the commander Chen Qimin beside him.

"Teacher Chen, have you noticed any difference in the attack just now?"

"Brother Wu, you have also noticed that the firepower of the defenders is as strong as yesterday. However, I can be sure of one thing: the people who hold their positions now are definitely not the ones that yesterday. Whether it is the opponent's combat literacy or shooting accuracy, they are more than one level lower than yesterday. Therefore, the judgement of the Beizhi: After one day of consumption, the defenders in the city have begun to use the reserve team. This means that in the face of the attack, Zaozhuang can't hold on for too long..." Commander Chen Qiming's eyes lit up and he said his observation results just now.

"You said it right, I also feel this way. So, I will test the next attack. Whether the Zaozhuang defenders are really as we imagined can't hold on for too long. In addition, from the beginning of the siege to the present, the main force of the opponent's artillery regiment has not moved at all. What I mean is: It is best to force the opponent to expose the artillery regiment completely to us in the next round of attacks." Division Commander Wu Jiamin said confidently.

A delegation and orders were issued. A regiment, a total of two thousand elite Central Army troops, appeared in a mighty manner outside Zaozhuang City like a yellow wave.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the sound of intensive counterattacks sounded very on time in the defending positions. However, compared with the gunshot just now, perhaps because of the too many troops he dispatched... Although the sudden sound of gunshots was as dense as before, there was a sense of chaos hidden behind this denseness.

Yes, it's just messy, with counterattacking flames, like having no target, blind shooting at the attacking troops.

"Brother Wu, from the perspective of firepower density, the Zaozhuang defenders deployed almost a regiment of troops on this defense line..." The division commander Chen Qiming raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously.

"What's wrong with a regiment? At worst, we can eat this regiment. Don't forget the artillery behind us... order all mortar clusters to launch a fire attack for half a minute immediately. After the artillery is completed, retreat quickly..."

"Everything... Wooah..." The dull sound of cannonballs coming out of the borehole, and the sharp whistling of cannonballs sounded one after another on the battlefield. At least fifty shells, after marking a parabola in the air, landed on the defense line and exploded.

Of course, the defenders commanded by the first regiment Peng Jiaxin himself were not vegetarians. A field infantry regiment and a local garrison regiment had a total of more than 60 mortars. In less than ten seconds of preparation, they began to counterattack the artillery fire.

However, because Wu Jiamin dispersed all the mortars in his hand in rows. Although the violent explosions kept ringing behind, dozens of shells were still flying stubbornly towards the position where the Zaozhuang Guard Regiment was holding.

The artillery fire strike was very short in half a minute, but in this short period of time, at least three hundred shells fell on the defense line outside Zaozhuang City.

When the artillery was over, the remaining gunners of Wu Jiamin's troops quickly withdrew from the position with mortars. A mountain artillery battalion had already been prepared in his hands and directly started a fierce artillery counterattack, hoping to destroy the mortar cluster in Peng Jiaxin's hands as soon as possible.

Compared with mortar shells, the power of mountain shells is more than twice as powerful as that of mortar shells.

18 mountain cannon shells exploded, and a long section of the city wall on Zaozhuang was immediately covered by the smoke from the explosion of the shells. Of course, the huge air waves generated by the explosion of the shells and the fragments of shells flying on the surface of the city wall began to harvest the lives of gunners on the walls like the god of death.

"The mountain cannon camp is the mountain cannon camp... The Central Army outside the city is finally willing to use its own mountain cannon camp..." Guo Qi, who was standing next to the commander Peng Jiaxin, held a telescope and stood next to the regiment commander Peng Jiaxin, said excitedly.

"It is indeed the enemy's mountain artillery battalion. However, for this mountain artillery battalion, our Zaozhuang garrison regiment, including the artillery on the city wall, has paid a huge price of casualties. However, as long as we can defend Zaozhuang, no matter how much the price it costs, it is worth it..." The regiment commander Peng Jiaxin said in a solemn and deep voice.

Then, he ordered the combat staff who had been on standby behind him with a hot face: "Why are you still standing there? Order the mountain artillery battalion and immediately counterattack, and draw out the remaining mountain artillery battalion of the enemy to me..."

After the sharp whistling of artillery shells, a series of vague explosions sounded from the rear of the Central Army. Suddenly, the mountain cannon shells that had just landed on the city wall directly moved the target and began to fly to a sub-mountain artillery battalion.

The two mountain artillery battalions, back and forth, began to shoot each other.

Of course, when the enemy and us were engaged in artillery battles, the Central Army, which was responsible for the attack, did not stop its own attack.

After more than 300 casualties, the huge offensive formation has advanced less than 100 meters away from the defense line.

One is rising and the other is getting worse. The officers and soldiers of the Zaozhuang garrison regiment stationed on the defense line are already full of fear of the battlefield because they first went to the battlefield. In addition, now, seeing the enemy who is already close to them, hearing the colleagues who are constantly being shot and falling to the ground, screaming, and the fear hidden in their hearts begins to show signs of explosion.

It can be imagined that once this emotion is erupted, the entire army will collapse instantly. As for the defense line that everyone defends, it will be occupied by the Central Army without any surprise.

Peng Jiaxin, who was standing on the city wall, certainly saw this change. His face suddenly became solemn, and he ordered the mortarist who had just escaped from the artillery fire on the city wall with a firm tone.

"All mortars, concentrate fire, shell out enemy attacking troops, block their attacking pace, and start immediately..."

At the same time, Wu Jiamin, the highest commander of the Central Army, also issued a nearly identical order...

"All mortars, concentrate firepower, suppress the defending troops on the defense line, and cover the attacking troops to complete the last distance. Victory and defeat are here, don't worry about accidental injury of shells, fire the gun immediately..."

The shells on both sides came back and forth, and the entire battlefield was instantly in a stalemate. However, in this stalemate, every minute, even a second, several, or even dozens of soldiers on both sides died in this artillery battle.

At this moment, Peng Jiaxin, the commander of the first garrison gang with an expectant expression, spoke: "Second, it's time to use another mountain artillery battalion... I believe that as long as the mountain artillery battalion fires, the Central Army outside the city will definitely show all its trump cards at all costs..."

The division commander Luo Qiyuan nodded without comment and ordered decisively: "Order the mountain artillery battalion under the Second Regiment to concentrate firepower and destroy the enemy's mortar position... In addition, inform the field artillery regiment to quickly divide it into two and prepare for counterattack..."

When the order was issued, a sharp whistling of artillery shells roared past the city.

The sound of shell explosion sounded from the mortar position behind, looking at the mortar position that was quickly swept by artillery fire. The Central Military Commander Wu Jiamin not only showed any expression of annoyance, but a hint of excitement flashed across his face.

Another mountain artillery battalion opened fire at him. According to his understanding of the enemy, the Zaozhuang defenders had already revealed all their wealth to him.

Since that's the case, then it's time for me to show off.

Without any hesitation, he decisively ordered the last mountain artillery battalion in his hand to open fire and fight back.

While the artillery fire counterattacked, he thought that the Zaozhuang defenders had no heavy weapons to take out, and then he drew another infantry regiment and launched a more fierce offensive from both wings to the Zaozhuang garrison regiment deployed by Luo Qiyuan outside the city.

"The trump card, the enemy's trump card has finally been revealed..." The division commander Luo Qiyuan's nervous face was instantly shrouded in a relaxed look. With anticipation of this counterattack, he ordered with excitement.

"The field artillery regiment, divided into two, quickly captured the enemy's two mountain artillery battalions... The first and second regiments, with the support of their respective mortars, quickly launched a counterattack against the enemy's offensive forces... Tell the brothers on the front line that breaking the enemy is now. The next attack, before receiving the order to retreat, has only one action target, that is: attack, attack again..."

"Boom boom boom boom..." A sound of artillery shell explosions sounded on the battlefield. Facing the sudden participation of a field artillery regiment of the defenders, Wu Jiamin, who was still confident just now, suddenly turned pale. He murmured to himself, the same stunned Commander Shen Qiming beside him.

"How is it possible? Why is there a contingent of artillery regiment hidden in the defenders? How is it possible..."

Before everyone could wake up from the sudden incident, bad news had already arrived and reached the ears of Wu Jiamin and others.

"Reporting the division seat, the left-wing mountain cannon position suffered a devastating blow from the enemy and has lost its combat effectiveness..."

"Reporting the division seat, the right wing mountain artillery battalion was attacked by fierce enemy artillery fire, and suffered heavy losses..."

As soon as the words fell, a sound of explosions that were shaking in the ground sounded from behind. Wu Jiamin, who was shocked, quickly turned around and was about to check the source of the explosion. The terrified report of the combat staff had already reached his ears.

"The division seat, the baggage position... The baggage position was bombarded by the enemy, and all the baggage weapons were bombed..."

"What, the baggage ammunition was blown up..." Wu Jiamin's already pale face turned even whiter at this moment, and asked in horror.

You should know that in order to occupy southern Shandong, the two divisions' baggage battalions collected all the military supplies hoarded by the troops in Xuzhou City. Now, in less than three days of dispatch, the combat material reserves of the two main divisions were destroyed by almost half a year.
