Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 901

Chapter 901 is different from what you imagined!

The special forces in the urban area almost perfectly fulfilled the combat missions deployed before the war.

If I have to find a regret, it should be the control of the Japanese army's baggage warehouse located at the junction of Xicheng and Beicheng.

From the beginning to the end, the Japanese army's baggage warehouse, which received the most attention from the Fourth Army Regiment Headquarters, was not attacked by the special forces.

In other words, despite the chaos inside the city, the sound of artillery fire outside the city was so fierce that the Chinese and Japanese armies were almost stabbing each other face to face. The Japanese army had stocked up the baggage warehouse guarded by nearly 200 baggage soldiers. On the other hand, everything remains as before, and it has truly become the last piece of pure land in Licheng County.

But the Japanese are also panicking!

Even though not a single bullet has fallen on his head yet, Lieutenant Oguri Tsukura Tabe, the supreme commander of the baggage troops who is responsible for the defense of the baggage warehouse, is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Every two minutes, he has to report to the people in charge of several walls. The defending infantry squadron made a phone call to inquire about the status of the battle.

As the supreme commander of the Licheng Baggage Warehouse, Lieutenant Oguri knew the heavy responsibility he shouldered. The supplies he was guarding did not belong to the Sixth Infantry Brigade, but to the entire division.

Not only does the entire division have food supplies for the 20,000-strong army that will be assembled for a month in the future, but there is also a supply of ordnance that can be supplied to the infantry brigade. These supplies do not fall from the sky. The commander of the Xiong Yuan Division personally reported to the North China Front Army Headquarters They applied for it by sending a telegram. For this reason, the 108th Division even made a guarantee to capture Linfen within two months.

A small county like Licheng didn't want anything. At least half of China's wealthy people ran away before the city fell, and the remaining half surrendered. For the sake of stability, the empire couldn't blatantly rob it. If it was lost, it would be lost. But The baggage can't run with long legs!

If these baggage were gone, Lieutenant Oguri could even imagine the face of His Excellency Xiong Yuan Division Commander that turned ugly due to madness, and few people's heads would be able to calm down.

It's a pity that except for the first few calls, people still answered the phone, but after that, there was no more calls!

It's not that the city fell so early, it's that no one wants to deal with this 'ant' who can only run around in a hurry! You don't provide reinforcements, and you can't provide tactical guidance, so why are you asking questions?

This is like going to a brothel, you don't feel good anymore, but there is a pig teammate next door who keeps urging you, brother, can you do it? Okay, okay, you can just give me the right words!

Well, you just hope that I die soon. Doesn't your heart feel so peaceful?

It is this torturous waiting that is the most difficult, but Lieutenant Oguri endured it for at least an hour. This kind of mentality is already strong enough.

However, he did not dare to send out a single soldier. Even though the artillery fire from the direction of South City and East City became increasingly sparse, the shouts of killing became more and more intense. This was a sign that the city was about to be broken.

The only consolation for him is that the baggage warehouse is still intact in his hands.

Looking at the various fortifications he had spent nearly a week building around the baggage warehouse, Lieutenant Oguri was almost weak and forcefully gave himself a shot in the arm. Although the Chinese had artillery, they did not dare to use artillery as long as they wanted to obtain the baggage. Attack by force, otherwise, the ammunition will be detonated, and they won't be able to get a single bullet.

Attack with infantry? Although he had been marching for a long time under the influence of the smell of packhorse feces and urine, Lieutenant Oguri, who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, was completely confident in the fortifications he had built, and he had no problem blocking the attack of thousands of infantry for three hours.

Ordinary and confident, this is not just limited to a certain time period or a certain area. There is also no shortage of such patients in this era. The Japanese Army Troops Lieutenant falls into this category.

Of course, he is not blindly arrogant, and he has some reasons.

The two heavy machine guns sent by the 6th Infantry Brigade to strengthen the defense were all placed on the roofs of two sturdy baggage warehouses. Each of them built a strong heavy machine gun fortification with steel plates and sandbags. One on the left and one on the right, forming a crossfire from above. , any enemy who wants to attack from the front will have to accept the test of two heavy machine guns.

If you want to attack them, you must first break through the defense line of nearly a hundred heavy troops hiding behind the fortifications, and you must also climb up to the high roof, which is an almost impossible task.

However, Lieutenant Oguri is not crazy enough to put a heavy machine gun on top of a warehouse where artillery shells are stored. If the enemy does not know it, he is so crazy that he throws grenades and causes the ammunition to explode. Not only will more than a hundred defenders be killed, It was blown into ashes, and a large amount of supplies could not be saved. They are defenders, not here to play and die together.

He just bet that the Chinese would not dare to fire easily. The mountains of food and ammunition should be the main purpose of the Chinese attacking Li City at the expense of human lives.

This is also his only chance to survive in death.

Without using artillery, only using light weapons to capture the baggage warehouse, the casualties paid would make any commander cry bitterly.

Unfortunately, it turned out that Lieutenant Oguri really thought too much.

The first unit of the Four Lines Regiment to attack the city was the Third Battalion from the direction of Nancheng!

The third battalion that was the first to enter the city did not rush to send infantry to attack the baggage warehouse directly. Instead, it sent two infantry companies to attack the Japanese defenders on the two walls of the South City and the West City. The Japanese defenders in the area of the two walls suddenly became confused. Buzzing.

The seemingly strong defense line was suddenly riddled with holes. The Second Battalion, which had not yet begun the offensive, was able to successfully enter the city and began to carry out the final destruction of the Japanese army's fragmented defense line, and dispatched an infantry company and two firepower units. The group joined an infantry company of the third battalion to attack the West City and Beicheng. The mortar platoon of the 1st Artillery Company also entered the city to follow up. The only ones who stayed outside the city were the headquarters of the Sixings Regiment and the first guard company.

At this point, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Licheng will be captured!

The only variables are the baggage warehouses located in the city and the number of Japanese troops annihilated.

In order to ensure that the defensive positions in the Japanese city wall area were broken through and reduce casualties, Tang Dao adopted a new strategy of surrounding two, harassing one and killing one. That is, the west city direction was just a feint attack, and the north city direction was purely letting go. If the Japanese army wanted to escape, they would just Can you let him escape first?

Tang Dao will not increase the casualties of his brothers in order to annihilate enough Japanese troops. He has now broken away from the stage of determining whether the battle is a big victory or a small victory based solely on the number of enemies annihilated. To put it bluntly, Tang Dao in this period is more Pay attention to whether your tactical goals are successfully achieved.

Just like this battle to conquer Li City, victory or failure actually depends on whether a large number of Japanese reinforcements can be killed in the direction of Shentou Ridge and whether the Japanese army can obtain the maximum amount of baggage accumulated by the Japanese army.

Although even insiders have no way of knowing how much supplies the Japanese army has hoarded, it is a bit like opening a blind box for Tang Dao, but Tang Dao believes that a Japanese infantry division that attempts to attack Linfen will never be too stingy.

If these two tactical goals cannot be achieved, even if the Fourth Line Regiment annihilates the Japanese infantry brigade guarding the city, then today's battle will be a failure.

Sakira Nakatama: What about me, the majestic Lieutenant Colonel of the Imperial Japanese Army? It's nothing!

That's true, the Japanese Army Colonel has already picked off two of his heads with Tang Dao, and even killed someone of the same level as Gushoufu. The Lieutenant Colonel is a piece of cake!

Perhaps not only Tang Dao thought so, but also his subordinates thought so. Heizi and others who broke into Wang's mansion searched for a while, but could not find the bodies of Japanese officers with a rank of captain or above, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Nowadays, their military exploits are no longer proven by killing senior Japanese military officers, but by completing tactical objectives.

Besides, as long as Li City is captured, even if the guy is hiding in the basement, he can be dug out three feet deep, so don't worry about it for a while.

Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group are constantly growing during the war!

Saki Ryochutama: Shall I go?

Saki Ryochutama really did this.

Even if he knows the Chinese art of war, the so-called surrounding three and attacking one, is that one really so easy to escape? Having fled the city and lost their position, the Chinese army ambushing in the mountains may be able to more easily shoot down the infantry without position protection.

However, even if he knew very well about drinking poison to quench his thirst, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel had to do it. No matter what, he would die. How could he say that he had to fight for his own life, just in case, he survived!

So, this is also the real reason why the Japanese army's defensive positions were in full swing but did not receive any command and support.

After discovering that none of the communications staff who had gone to find reinforcements had returned, Nakatama Saki, the top commander of the Japanese army, had anticipated in advance that today's battle would be irreversible, and immediately made a decisive decision, taking Wang, who was familiar with the terrain, with him. The father and son ran towards Beicheng in the dark.

Don't tell me, this is the right way for him to go. The special forces are either in the west city direction or in the southeast two cities to block the attack. The north city area is the safest area. After arriving in Beicheng District and finally meeting up with his subordinates, Sakira Nakatama made the decision to sever his arm. Regardless of the thousands of subordinates in the city, he ordered the two infantry squads with no damage in Beicheng District to open the way immediately!

To put it in layman's terms: Let's run together and you'll be responsible for taking the front line!

This unexpected and cool move was not expected by his opponent Si Xing Tuan. Even the Japanese themselves were confused.

You must know that at that time, the city wall war was still in a stalemate, and the Chinese did not say that they would win. How could this dignified Imperial Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel predict so accurately that Li City would fall?

What's even more awesome is that he didn't send a retreat message to any of his troops, but just led his own people to open the city gate and run away first.

This kind of operation, not to mention the Japanese army, even those of the Imperial Army, due to strict military orders, rarely occurs.

But Nakatama Saki did just that, and he told the bewildered Japanese captain in a very reasonable manner: This move is called "Golden Cicada Escapes". When the Chinese tried their best to attack the city, they found that The real brains of our Sixth Infantry Brigade have long since left, and they will gain nothing. Not only that, when reinforcements from Lucheng and Shecheng arrive, the city they just captured will become their cemetery, and the imperial army will bury all the **** Chinese and their small towns with artillery fire!

how to say? The logic is quite correct. As long as the general is still there, the 6th Infantry Brigade can be rebuilt after the war, no matter how seriously damaged it is! The Japanese army has always had a tradition of sacrificing small soldiers to protect officers.

What's more, a certain lieutenant commander said that if Yu Sui, the deputy captain who is still in the city, dies in battle, his position will be vacant.

The vacant position is not reserved for the dead. Only living people can take it. The Japanese captain who was suddenly enlightened was still hesitant!

They don't call it a hasty escape, but a strategic shift. It doesn't matter if they lose now, as long as they can shake people, they will win in the end. All ugliness will be covered up by victory.

As for those colleagues who are still fighting to the death in the city, they are brave and loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. After death, they will be gloriously entered into small wooden boxes and solemnly sent back to the Empire by the living people. That will be endless glory.

What's even more outrageous is that Sakira Nakatama and the 100 Japanese troops who escaped from the North City Gate and entered the mountains not only ran away, but also used the field radio that was about to run out of power to continue to generate electricity to the division headquarters dozens of kilometers away: Reinforcements are coming quickly, the Chinese are so fierce!

Good guy, Sakira Nakatama is no longer afraid of settling the score, and just wants to win someone to make up for his ugliness!

This person, once the bottom line is crossed, there will be no bottom line at all!

"March quickly!" Xiong Yuan, Lieutenant General of the 108th Division, commander of the 108th Division, received repeated military orders from his subordinates. The Japanese reinforcements almost died on the mountain road and arrived at the battlefield earlier than expected. 1 hour.

According to the battle report of the 683rd Brigade, at the beginning of the hand-to-hand combat, most of the Japanese troops were breathing heavily, and their physical fitness was only 40% of their usual strength at most. The red tassel gun was pierced into the belly with just one poke. It was much easier than imagined.

This Tang Dao who is assisting is somewhat incompetent.

Really, when the post-war summary was concluded, after knowing a series of outrageous actions of the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Licheng, Tang Dao even had the urge to re-understand the Japanese nation. This is such a return to his ancestors!

I can only say that as big as the bird is, there is no shortage of people in the woods. China has produced so many traitors. It should be normal for the Japanese to produce a few weirdos.

Life is more important than glory. In the Western world, that is normal operation, right?

Do you think the Japanese will not surrender? It was just that he didn't beat him hard enough. The island nation was kneeling after being bombed by two big fat men. It had been kneeling for a hundred years, but it reached a new height.

Let's not talk about Saki Rachutama who has escaped, but let's talk about the Japanese Army Troopers Lieutenant who still doesn't know that he has been completely abandoned and only deserves to enjoy the honor of serving His Majesty the Emperor.

Having basically established victory, the Third Battalion finally received permission to march into the city. Otherwise, they would have entered the city half an hour ago. The first target of the Third Battalion was of course the baggage warehouse.

Leng Feng, who led two infantry companies, the first fire support company and the mortar platoon of the 1st artillery company, checked with Heizi who ran over to pick up the defensive terrain map of the Japanese army's baggage warehouse. Leng Feng immediately ordered his infantry to attack the Japanese baggage warehouse. The warehouse area was attacked from both sides.

However, the attack range is 200 meters away!

Several illumination bombs fired from grenades illuminated the sky above the Japanese army's baggage warehouse position in a snow-white light, and also made the little face of Lieutenant Oguri hiding in the fortifications pale and pale. Even without ten layers of powder, it would not have been visible. Effect.

He's coming, he's coming, they are coming with great force!

Lieutenant Oguri screamed desperately at that moment!

Then, all his previous extravagant hopes turned out to be vain!

Leng Feng, who had been observing the Japanese position through the telescope for a while, had no intention of attacking with infantry. He seemed not to pay attention to the warehouses storing a large amount of supplies. He directly ordered the six mortars in the rear to attack the Japanese troops on top of the two warehouses. Heavy machine gun fortifications opened fire.

In his original words: "The ammunition will explode, but the food will not. If it is exploded, it will be just right, and the Japanese will be sent directly to the sky. It will be effortless."

The Japanese army baggage lieutenant who had been thinking about it for a long time unfortunately met a Chinese-style cold-blooded 'reckless man' who came up with a big iron-blooded stick!

A dozen or so shells accurately hit the area around the heavy machine gun fortifications. The terrible shock waves and shrapnel not only blew up sandbags all over the sky, but also blew the 10 mm thick steel plate into a rag.

The two Type 92 heavy machine guns that were leaning against the Great Wall barely lasted more than a minute and disappeared in the face of Lieutenant Oguri's already innocent face!

But this is just the first wave of cold-blooded recklessness.

"Continue to bombard the front of the warehouse! Don't be stingy with ammunition, just bombard me! The infantry are all hidden by me to prevent the ammunition from exploding!" Leng Feng's eyes never left the telescope, and he continued to issue cold orders.

This was a good move. The six 82 mortars that took the order had no scruples and fired 60 rounds of artillery shells at the forward position of the Japanese army's heavy troops.

They are said to be positions, but in fact they are all sandbag fortifications. No matter how idle the Japanese army is, they will not dig trenches around the warehouse under the protection of the city wall.

Piling sandbags at key locations so that the infantry can have a hiding place is already a very complete fortification. When Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan came to inspect it, he could only nod his head and say it was good.

How will such a position be fought with 60 rounds of artillery shells?

It can only be blown to pieces, along with the human body inside.

Seeing that his forward position and the thirty men were bombarded by Chinese artillery and turned into scattered parts on the ground, Lieutenant Oguri's heart, which had been completely cold, fell directly into focus!

At this time, the sky is already slightly bright!

Through his telescope, he could already see shadowy black figures flashing in the distance, but they had no intention of attacking the front and stayed at least two hundred meters away.

What this means, Lieutenant Oguri can guess it with his heels.

Good guys, the Chinese are here to seize some baggage. They are here to blow up the baggage, together with their hundreds of defenders.
