Chapter 440 The devil who was beaten
The sound of gunfire outside the city made the Japanese army guarding the city exhausted. The gunfire in the city made the Japanese terrorists frightened. The Japanese infantry brigade who was ordered to arrive might never have dreamed that they would have such an encounter after arriving in Shucheng.
Even though he still had a large army under his command, the ammunition he counted could not make the remaining Japanese army last for too long. The nightmare explosion had instantly weakened the combat effectiveness of the infantry brigade several layers.
At the same time, the infantry brigade was sent to block the task force that was attacking from the rear. At the same time, the infantry brigade commander began to order the troops to build fortifications in the ruins of the city, hoping to keep the troops in a place where they could hold on until dawn.
According to the agreement with the division when we arrived, the infantry brigade after arriving in Shucheng would need to send a report to the division every two hours to show that the brigade is safe and sound. Two hours have passed since the previous explosion.
If the telecommunication officer on duty on the division fails to receive a telegram from the infantry brigade, he will inevitably send a telegram to inquire. Once the division finds that the infantry brigade radio station is missing, I believe the division will make a decision as soon as possible.
If nothing unexpected happens, the commander of the infantry brigade felt that the division would draw troops overnight to reinforce Shucheng. This also means that as long as the infantry brigade can hold on until dawn, perhaps the next morning, they can wait for reinforcements from the division.
Hu Biao, who was leading the team to assault, looked at the constant blocking of the Japanese army and said directly: "Fight! Fight hard first and then talk about it! Then look at my gestures and be ready to retreat at any time. Remember, don't rush too fast, pay attention to your own safety!"
"Yes, captain!"
It was clear that Hu Biao cared about the casualties of his subordinates, and the officers and soldiers of the task force who cooperated with him also felt warm in his heart. Looking at the increasing Japanese blocking troops, Hu Biao also ordered an attack and kept shooting and killing the Japanese who came to block the attack.
Facing the situation where the Japanese devils only defend but not attacked, Hu Biao felt a little surprised. He thought for a while and said, "Zhuzi, send someone to the Second Company to take a look. I always feel that these Japanese devils seem to be too honest and just defend but not attacked!"
"Captain, isn't this good?"
"What a bullshit! Forget what I told you before, don't underestimate the Japanese. Don't think that they only know how to attack. If they really fight defensive battles, their level is not bad. If they don't attack, will our previous plan be wasted?"
After hearing what Hu Biao said, the combat team members lying beside Hu Biao made the same sense. Their original intention was to introduce the Japanese in the city into the explosion area, but now the Japanese are not chasing them.
As the offensive side, the pressure faced by the task force will undoubtedly be greater than that of the Japanese defensive side. In order to confirm his guess, Hu Biao felt that someone should go and see if the situation in the Te Er Company was like him.
If the situations of the two companies are in agreement, Hu Biao must change his combat strategy and draw more troops from outside the city to launch an attack. In any case, he will severely damage the remaining Japanese in the city before dawn.
The combat team members who were ordered to detour to the attack area of the Special Second Company, when they saw Qin Tianyou who was organizing the attack, they said unexpectedly: "Qin Squadron, is the same on your side? Are the Japanese defending but not attacking?"
"Yes! Why did you come here? The captain asked you to come?"
"Yes! The captain of the detachment asked me to come over and see what was going on here. Our side was similar to yours. The Japanese resisted tenaciously, but they did not take the initiative to fight back at all. If they fight like this, they would be somewhat passive!"
"Indeed! These Japanese devils seem to be scared by us. I only used one combat platoon, and they didn't dare to fight back."
After a few simple conversations, the combat team members who came to check the situation soon returned to the combat area where Hu Biao was. After learning about this situation, Hu Biao also said directly: "Pillar, I'm useful to transfer an additional combat platoon from behind!"
In order to alternately cover the retreat, Hu Biao introduced the Japanese into the explosion area, but Hu Biao did not bring too many combat team members by his side. Unexpectedly, the Japanese seemed to really accept their fate and become a turtle with their heads, and even Hu Biao's previous deployment was in vain.
Since the Japanese did not take the initiative, Hu Biao had to force an attack. Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, Hu Biao found that the Japanese in the city did not fire outside the city from beginning to end. This situation was obviously a bit abnormal.
Thinking of the results reported by the blasting team before, Hu Biao felt that the Japanese were not firing artillery, and maybe there should be no shells. If the situation was as Hu Biao thought, then in the next strong attack, Hu Biao felt that it was necessary to increase heavy firepower.
A combat platoon was drawn from the back and joined the attack sequence. At the same time, Hu Biao took out a lot of mortars and grenade launchers from his portable storage space. Whether the Japanese artillery has the ability to counterattack, you will know if it will blow up a few more guns.
Looking at the combat platoon that arrived quickly, Hu Biao quickly said: "Send these grenade launchers and mortars to the Second Squadron. Tell Qin Squadron to increase the offensive efforts. If the seduction tactics are not successful, we will fight with the Japanese!
Mortars are responsible for providing long-range firepower, focusing on attacking Japanese machine gun positions and grenade launchers, clearing out passages for offensive troops. Assaulters and riflemen alternately cover and eliminate remaining enemies, and snipers implement fire cover!”
Telling out his offensive tactics, Hu Biao asked someone to pick some of these weapons and equipment to send them to the Second Special Company. Looking at the weapons and ammunition sent by the combat team members and the combat plan Hu Biao told, Qin Tianyou didn't say much.
The Japanese who were originally responsible for blocking saw that the enemy was attacking was only one of these, and there was indeed an officer ready to counterattack. The captain who led the team said with a stern expression: "Don't attack without authorization, this is the general's order!"
"Your Captain, the enemy does not seem to be large. Why not fight back and destroy them all?"
"Baga! Obey the order! Have you forgotten the previous fire exchange? This group of enemies is not simple!"
Although the infantry captain also thought about sending a squadron to counterattack, what the captain did not expect was that as the defensive side, their casualties were greater than those of the offensive side. They had never encountered this situation before.
The infantry brigade lacking heavy weapons is also equipped with many light and heavy machine guns and rifles. However, in the previous matchup, the Japanese light and heavy machine gunners were constantly replaced and replaced. If they could not fire a few shots, they would have to replace them with a new machine gunner.
In addition, even the riflemen who usually have accurate marksmanship may seem to have failed when facing the attacking troops that are hidden a hundred meters away. However, the riflemen on the attacking side can accurately shoot and kill the riflemen on the defense side.
All the situations show that although this group of attacking troops with a small number of people are not only rich in combat experience, but also very strong in combat strength. Aware of this, coupled with the previous instructions of the infantry brigade commander, the infantry captain naturally did not dare to attack without authorization.
Just as the infantry captain began to organize troops to build a defense network along the defense area, the Japanese, located at the front of the defensive position, suddenly saw the flames coming from behind the attacking side, and said in an instant: "Baga! Bombardment! Hidden!"
As the sound fell, the shells also landed on the ground. While the shells exploded, the Japanese in charge of blocking them soon saw several people wearing military uniforms like them quickly setting up grenade launchers in the open area.
With a wave of grenades falling, the soldiers deployed by the Japanese on the front line soon suffered heavy casualties. When the second wave of grenades fell, more than a dozen offensive players stood up in a triangular formation and rushed to the Japanese defensive positions.
The attacking team members who rushed in the front looked at the defensive positions that had not been bombarded before, and directly threw out the delayed grenade. When the grenade exploded and the Japanese army suffered heavy damage again, the attacking team members carrying submachine guns had already fired.
The crisp gunfire sounded, and the Japanese in the first blocking position were knocked over to the ground without having enough time to make too many counterattacks. When the rifleman followed up to repair the gun, the position was instantly broken.
When the Japanese behind a position was about to regain the lost position, the attacking combat team members had already taken over a position and began to block the Japanese who were trying to regain the position. The second round of mortars hit him.
The grenade team following behind the commando quickly followed up and established a firing position behind the commando, and began to launch artillery bombardment at the second position of the Japanese. A wave of grenades was smashed, and the Japanese could only dodge in panic.
The Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of commanding the blocking attack was also shocked to see the task force that was covering the attack alternately: "Baga! What kind of troops is this? The offensive tactics are skillful and the coordinated use of infantry and artillery is so exquisite!"
First, the mortars smashed a long-distance wave, and then the grenade launcher smashed a close-distance wave. Finally, the commando launched an assault to face the Japanese defensive forces. This tacit understanding of street fighting cooperation made the Japanese officers amazed.
Faced with the sudden increase in offensive force of the task force, the infantry captain who was responsible for blocking, looked at the lost positions one after another and couldn't help but curse: "Baga! Incompetent guy! Hold on, you must not let them break through our defense zone!"
"Your Captain, you can't stop it! The Chinese army's firepower is too strong, and we cannot organize effective defense at all. We need reinforcements! Only by adding more troops can they be blocked!"
The Japanese army who could not get artillery support were blocking the Japanese army. Faced with the artillery fire of the task force, they could only choose to run away with their heads. Even if they wanted to fight back, they had to give them a chance! The problem is that the task force responsible for the attack did not give it to them at all.
Every time the shelling stopped, the commando responsible for the attack was already approaching. Faced with the dense firepower formed by the submachine gun, the Japanese who dared to emerge were often beaten into hornets' nests in an instant. The taste of being suppressed completely made the Japanese even more afraid!
Listening to his subordinates' helpless advice, the infantry captain could only say: "Immediately tell the general that the enemy's offensive is fierce and our troops need reinforcements. Bageya Road! Where did these damn guys emerge from?"
