Chapter 622: Cut off the external material flow of Fu'an County, and when the Japanese invaders
Li Yunlong had been waiting for most of the morning and had become somewhat impatient. After receiving the order to attack, he immediately picked up the intercom in his hand and ordered excitedly: "The tank troops will immediately act as the vanguard to attack, and the armored vehicle troops will follow behind. Keep some distance and attack the enemy's defensive positions immediately!"
"Zhang Dabiao, you are responsible for taking Hills 201 and 202! Shen Quan, you are responsible for taking Hills 203 and 204. The remaining two positions are left to me. Be careful when fighting. Don't be too anxious. We must keep the casualties of the troops to a minimum. Don't use bullets if you can solve the problem with artillery shells. Don't use swords if you can solve the problem with bullets. If anyone dares to rush forward stupidly, I will chop him up!"
Under Li Yunlong's order, the leading tank troops immediately launched an artillery attack on the Japanese positions to test the remaining firepower points of the Japanese. The artillery battalion in the rear immediately carried out precise artillery attacks based on the location of the Japanese firepower points. This attack adopted a steady and steady tactic, which made the remaining Japanese defenders very uncomfortable.
As the supreme commander of the outer defense line, Ichiro Kuroda was very devastated. He asked for help from Brigadier General Saito in the city many times, but the order he got was to hold on until the last man.
"Order each squadron to defend their positions strictly. Hold on to them at all costs. The brigade has issued a death order to us, requiring us to hold on until 7 o'clock tonight. No one is allowed to retreat without permission. Anyone who dares to flee will be killed!"
With nowhere else to go, Ichiro Kuroda had no choice but to issue an order to defend the city. He was not foolish enough to let his men launch a desperate charge, which would only leave him alone in a short period of time. He was very disgusted with the pig-rushing tactics, but he was powerless to change the trend and could only go along with it.
Soon the armored troops arrived at the bottom of the high ground. Li Yunlong immediately ordered the tank troops to begin concentrated artillery fire on the Japanese on the top of the mountain. At the same time, he ordered the armored vehicle troops to suppress the Japanese firepower, and then sent two companies of infantry to launch an attack.
"College students, immediately mobilize the Fat Baby ground attack aircraft to us and use them to suppress the enemy fire on the ground."
After receiving Li Yunlong's request, Lin Zhenhua immediately mobilized the Fat Baby Ground Attack Aircraft Brigade to join the battle. The close air-ground coordination made the offensive progress exceptionally smooth. Those iron shields really played a significant role in bulletproofing, which dramatically reduced the casualties of the infantry. Even Lin Zhenhua did not expect that the small shields would play such a big role.
However, the Japanese's fighting power should not be underestimated. Under such fierce firepower, the Japanese actually hid more than a dozen artillery pieces, causing huge casualties to the attacking infantry. However, the Japanese artillery only had one chance to fire, and after firing this shot, it was immediately destroyed by the artillery fire from the air.
"Colonel, three positions have lost contact and the remaining three positions are also in danger. The rifles in our hands can't pose a huge threat to the enemy's shields. The enemy has adopted a steady and steady tactic, and its casualties are very low. According to my estimate, the enemy's losses should not exceed 200 people, while our losses have exceeded 1200. If we continue to fight like this, we will be wiped out. We need to make a tactical shift immediately!" Domoto Mitsukazu bowed and requested.
Ichiro Kuroda did not answer directly. He looked directly in the direction of the position with an unprecedentedly embarrassed expression on his face. This time he made a mistake in command. He should have launched a desperate charge on the enemy as soon as possible. Only in this way would the enemy's fighter planes be afraid to launch an attack on the ground.
But now he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. The only thing he could do was to concentrate all his forces to launch a desperate counterattack and kill a few more enemies before being hit by enemy bullets.
"Domoto, pass on my order immediately. Everyone, bring any weapons you can find and launch a desperate charge against the incoming enemy in ten minutes!"
Under the command of Ichiro Kuroda, the fanatical Japanese jumped out of their positions, bayonets in hand, rushed downwards, and engaged in a desperate fight with the attacking soldiers.
"Monk, bring your men to reinforce me immediately. We must wipe out these damn devils at all costs!"
"Sanwazi, increase the output of artillery fire for me. We must cut off the connection between the front and rear devils and reduce the pressure on the attacking forces!"
Lin Zhenhua also made adjustments immediately, ordering the Fat Baby Ground Attack Aircraft Brigade to turn to attack Fu'an County. Kong Jie was also not idle, and concentrated all the heavy artillery in his hands to launch an artillery attack on Fu'an County. The first and second anti-aircraft battalions were on high alert, ready to intercept the Japanese fighter planes at any time.
Until the end of the battle, the Japanese air force did not rush to Zhengyuan, which made Lin Zhenhua breathe a sigh of relief. Li Yunlong ran over with excitement and said excitedly: "College students, the Japanese outer defense line has been completely occupied by us, and more than 300 puppet soldiers have been captured. Our victory this time is very great. We directly killed two battalions of Japanese soldiers."
"I never thought that the Japanese in Fu'an County would deploy so many troops on the outskirts. This was completely beyond my expectations. Fortunately, we adopted a steady and cautious tactic this time. Only 132 soldiers were killed in this battle. Basically, we can say that we have reduced casualties to a minimum."
"Among these 132 soldiers, 109 died in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. This shows that if the Japanese really launched a desperate charge without regard for the consequences, they could really break through our fierce firepower. We really can't underestimate the Japanese. These damn guys are really not afraid of death when they fight!"
Lin Zhenhua nodded in agreement and said, "Lao Li, our firepower has been strengthened to the limit, but even so, the Japanese can still cause two to three hundred casualties to us, which shows how strong the Japanese are. If we have the same weapons and equipment, we may not be able to win even if three of us fight one. We always thought that the Japanese's combat effectiveness has declined a lot, but from this battle, it seems that the Japanese are not as weak as we thought."
As they were talking, Kong Jie also came over. The shelling of Fu'an County had stopped, and the tactic of surrounding three and leaving one was being implemented. It was expected that the encirclement of the Japanese would be completed around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"College student, according to the news I just received, the Japanese have no plans to leave Fu'an County. Instead, they have built many sandbag fortifications in the county and blocked the people in their homes. It seems that the Saito Brigade is determined to fight a street battle with us. I think we have to take a long-term view!" Kong Jie said with a worried look on his face.
They had to fight street battles. Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua looked very unhappy. They had thought of many ways to lure the Japanese out of the city, but to no avail.
"Old Kong, we must not fight street fighting again. I suggest that we temporarily blockade Fu'an County for a few days and see how the situation develops. Fu'an County is several times larger than Ping'an County, and there are more than 20,000 people living in it. Once both sides engage in brutal street fighting, the safety of the people will not be guaranteed. The final result will be a heavy death toll among the people. The Japanese may even use the people as human shields. Given the cruelty of the Japanese, they will definitely do such a thing." Lin Zhenhua replied with a serious face.
Li Yunlong was also very troubled by this. He couldn't think of any good solution and couldn't help complaining: "The damn Japanese devils are too insidious. They left the people in the city and fought street battles with us, which made us afraid to act rashly. According to the intelligence we got before, there are 1 to 1 Japanese devils in the city. If we include the puppet army, there are nearly . If we want to take down the entire Fu'an County, we have to fill in to people according to the : casualty ratio. If that's the case, we can't fight this battle."
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing. None of the three had any good ideas. Lin Zhenhua could only think of a solution from the system and started the routine system sign-in.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the full set of Hurricane Fighter technology. The information has been put into the system warehouse and the host can check it at any time."
Lin Zhenhua thought he could find a solution, but unexpectedly he got the technology of a new fighter jet. He immediately took it out from the system warehouse and was shocked after taking a careful look at it. This Hurricane fighter is very powerful, with super high defense and maneuverability. It is completely capable of crushing the Japanese Zero fighter. For Lin Zhenhua, this is simply a timely relief.
"Lao Li, Lao Kong, the research and development of the new fighter jet should be completed in the next two or three days. It is expected to be put into mass production and service in the next half month. After a month, we will be able to completely seize air supremacy in the entire northwest of Shanxi."
"There is no need for us to be too anxious now. We can just keep fighting the Japanese. It will be more and more advantageous for us. Since our current troops are still a little insufficient, we have decided to expand our troops again. In the next month, we will expand our troops to 80,000. No matter how strong the troops are, we will expand them first."
"Our main task at present is to cut off the supply of materials from the outside world to Fu'an County. It won't be long before the Japanese will be thrown into disarray. I estimate that the food in the city can only last for half a month at most. Once there is a problem with the food, the entire Fu'an County will fall into chaos. That will be the best time for us to attack!"
