Chapter 155 Fire coverage, tearing through the position!
Looking at the telegram on the table, Major General Hattori Naoomi's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery and he muttered a few words.
"What is there to worry about? No matter how bold the Eighth Route Army is, would they dare to attack Ninghai County?"
Major General Hattori Naoomi, who was drunk, soon fell into a deep sleep.
Tonight's banquet,
Most of the Japanese in the tour group went to bed early because they had been drinking.
tonight,
It was rare for the Japanese to enjoy the fine wine from their high-ranking officials. Although some soldiers could not attend banquets and entertainment like the officers, they were also given food and wine.
because of this,
Many Japanese soldiers drank to some extent tonight, even the night combat infantry battalion responsible for protection drank a little.
We've escorted the visiting group to Ninghai County. It's been a long journey, so we should let the brothers relax, right?
Even though I only drank a little bit,
But Major General Hattori Naoomi forgot that this was not the mild foreign liquor on their island, but a white liquor with a very high alcohol content.
Even just a little bit made many Japanese soldiers drunk and dizzy, unable to stand steadily, let alone stand guard.
of course,
While all the troops stationed in Ninghai County relaxed their vigilance,
They don't know
On this cold night, some people have already been waiting eagerly for the battle call.
Midnight,
Many Japanese soldiers had fallen asleep, and there was almost no defense force except for a few puppet troops who were still patrolling.
"All troops are ready and can attack at any time!" Near dawn, a chief of staff quickly reported the news to the regiment commander.
"Okay, keep waiting!" Qin Hai nodded, then quickly left the temporary command center, climbed up the mountainside, and looked at Ninghai County one kilometer away.
"Boy, what are you looking at?" Hearing the noise, Qin Hai turned around and found that his old leader had followed him without him noticing.
"Nothing, I'm just a little nervous." The night concealed the expression on Brigade Commander Chen's face.
But after hearing this,
Brigade Commander Chen laughed and said, "You also get nervous sometimes. I thought you were fearless."
Faced with the ridicule of his old leader, Qin Hai shook his head helplessly.
"After all, this is the first large-scale battle after the expansion, and the preparations were a bit hasty. I am indeed a little worried." Qin Hai did not hide his thoughts.
Although the arrival of the Japanese visiting group was indeed an opportunity, it also came with huge risks.
however,
Now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. There is no turning back.
"Don't worry, I have seen the growth of the Guards Regiment. Didn't you say that we should have confidence in all the officers and soldiers of the Guards Regiment? The battle hasn't even begun yet, so the momentum can't weaken." Brigade Commander Chen said with a smile, pretending to be relaxed.
After all, Qin Hai was the real commander in this operation. Although he supported Qin Hai's decision as an old leader,
But in this battle, Qin Hai is still the leader, so it is understandable that the burden on his shoulders is not light.
"I'm not afraid of losing. This is the first big battle after the expansion, and I hope to see a good result."
Qin Hai's meaning was very direct.
This battle plan was indeed hastily revised by the staff. Although it seemed to be fine, there were too many variables on the battlefield.
not to mention,
This operational plan has been supported and approved by the headquarters. It is not only related to the Guards Regiment, but also to the headquarters' trust in the Guards Regiment. If we fail to achieve good results this time,
The consequences can be imagined...
"Just go for it, kid. With the support of the headquarters, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Before daybreak, the boys' reinforcements will be delayed by troops sent from headquarters. The Guards Regiment has nearly six hours to attack. If that's not enough, I will personally come forward and tell headquarters that we can delay it until noon!"
Brigade Commander Chen's words were firm. Since he trusted Qin Hai, he would give him his full support.
Qin Hai is his personal soldier.
This kid has something else to say, how could he hide it from the old leader?
The moment Qin Hai proposed this battle plan, Brigade Commander Chen already understood what Qin Hai was thinking.
Pretending to attack is just a strategy to temporarily stabilize the opponent.
Since we have run into the Japanese visiting group, how can we, such a brave boy, let go of such a good opportunity?
Not only did Brigade Commander Chen understand Qin Hai's thoughts, but even the leaders at the headquarters knew what Qin Hai was thinking. If it was really a feint, then it was not Qin Hai's style.
"Old leader, you still understand me!" Qin Hai smiled and nodded in the cold wind.
From beginning to end,
Brigade Commander Chen understood his intention and was so supportive. At the critical moment, the old leader was still reliable.
"Okay, stop talking to me, kid. Fighting a beautiful and steady battle will be the best reward for me and the headquarters!" Brigade Commander Chen spoke quickly and waved his hand with a smile.
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
Soon it was midnight, and seeing that the time was ripe, leaders of various departments gathered around Qin Hai and the brigade commander to report.
"Report to the commander, the assault squadron is ready!"
"Report to the commander, the cavalry battalion is ready!"
"Report to the head of the delegation..."
As the combat staff continued to report progress, Qin Hai, expressionless in the night, quietly raised his wrist to look at his watch.
As the second hand approaches the hour,
"Time's up, fire the flares and prepare for the attack!" Following Qin Hai's firm words, the buglers who had been ready immediately pulled the triggers of their signal guns.
boom! boom! boom!
Three flares soared into the sky. In the dark night sky, the red flares were particularly eye-catching.
"Ten rounds of rapid fire, fire!!!"
The moment they saw the signal flare, the infantry soldiers who had been prepared immediately waved their flags. As the shell landed, the fuse was ignited and the sound of the shell being launched was extremely pleasant.
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
More than a dozen 82mm mortars roared at full speed at this moment, and the shells fell accurately, hitting the north city wall precisely. The drowsy defenders were torn apart almost instantly.
"Boom! Boom!"
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
The firelight illuminates all around.
The sound of artillery fire was like thunder.
The loud explosions and the flames rising everywhere became the most dazzling fireworks at night.
It all happened so suddenly.
The defenders who had been drinking had begun to feel drowsy and dizzy. When the shells fell, they had no time to react and were torn to pieces along with the buildings!
“Go for it!!”
"Comrades, kill!!!"
"..."
The moment the gunfire sounded,
The main infantry battalion responsible for the attack on the north gate also sounded the charge, and as the flames spread, everything was dyed red.
Countless bullets poured towards the city walls, and artillery shells and grenade launchers slammed into the inside of the city walls as if they were free.
These unprepared Japanese and puppet troops had their defensive positions torn apart in an instant.
At this time,
Even if the puppet army guards reacted, it was too late. With the steel storm, even if they hid behind bunkers, they would be hit by stray bullets. There were shouts and wailing everywhere.
Simultaneously,
The war has just started here.
Liujia Town on the other side also launched an attack. Five artillery pieces opened fire first, and with the help of the guard company's powerful grenade launchers, they plowed the ground twice with artillery shells before the battle started!
