Chapter 410 Start a comprehensive offensive

From forming a shame-abiding camp to selecting elite team members, Hu Biao's style of conduct is unconventional. The strategy of responding to enemies on the battlefield is different from many military commanders of this era. Perhaps this is also the reason why Hu Biao dared not command a large corps.

The arrangement of troops involved in large-scale corps operations is a very challenging and unfamiliar area for Hu Biao. In contrast, this kind of surprise attack or night attack is what Hu Biao is really good at. His offensive steps are difficult for the enemy to figure out.

If other combat commanders saw the gap in the city wall that was blown up, they would inevitably order the infantry to start attacking. If they did not attack, why would they blow up the city wall? But in Hu Biao's view, blowing up the city wall was to facilitate the attack, but there was no need to rush to attack.

Thinking from the perspective of others, if Hu Biao was the commander of the defending troops tonight, he would definitely mobilize troops to encircle the gap. Near the gap, a large number of blocking troops or repair the gap.

Since Hu Biao thought that the enemy would do this, how could he order the troops to attack? Every member of the task force was carefully selected. Hu Biao didn't want to treat them as ordinary soldiers and would rather spend more shells.

Give the Japanese in the city some time to react and use the mortars to continue to expand the collapsed gap. When the Japanese reinforcements were almost deployed, the mountain artillery troops, which had been prepared for a long time, began to extend the artillery fire along the gap.

In a short period of time, the Japanese will definitely not be able to build complete fortifications. In this case, facing the extended artillery fire of the mountain artillery team, they have no other choice except to avoid and escape.

With another round of artillery attacks, Hu Biao believed that he could destroy many Japanese devils. It was also very cost-effective to use artillery shells to harvest the lives of Japanese devils in the city. This unreasonable fighting style can also constantly destroy Japanese devils' morale and fighting spirit.

Let the mountain artillery team shoot back and forth along the gap, Hu Biao ordered the blasting team to move to the east and west of the city, and start preparing for a new round of blasting operations. The mortar team commanded by Qin Tianyou were transferred.

The guerrillas gathered on standby and looked at the rumbling sound of cannons and said in surprise: "Captain, do we really want to attack Luzhou City? There should be many Japanese and puppet troops in this city, right?"

"What? I'm scared! Don't worry, Chief Hu's troops will fight for the main attack later. You just need to follow the attack. In the past, you always complained that your weapons and equipment were not good and that you could not defeat the Japanese. Could it be that you are still afraid now?"

"I'm afraid of a ball! I'll carry my head on one shoulder. There are many Japanese people, and we have a lot of people!"

As the guerrillas gathered one after another, the guerrillas who had fought each other earlier suddenly realized that there were not many friendly troops around them. Even if they were all guerrillas, the number of people was large, and the combat effectiveness was probably not weak!

During the discussion between the guerrillas, Tian Tiezhu, who was responsible for acting as the liaison officer, found several guerrillas again and said, "Several captains, your team will follow our troops into the city later. When we gain a foothold, you will follow the attack!"

"clear!"

"What about the rest of the troops?"

"They have other tasks! The south side of the city is the main attack, and the east side of the city is the assist. In order to restrain the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, we must launch an attack at the same time in the other two directions. This will make it easier to fight!"

"Okay! We get it!"

After conveying the combat mission, Hu Biao left all the elite troops of the Te 1 Company in the south of the city to stand by. The remaining Te 2 Company were divided into two and started to go to the east and west of the city. The guerrillas that cooperated with their combat also began to divide their troops and move.

When the mortar team arrived at the east of the city, they began to launch artillery attacks on the defenders on the walls of the east of the city. The Japanese and puppet troops who were transferring defenses to the south of the city were a little puzzled and said, "Damn it! Why did they run east of the city? Could it be that they plan to start attacking from the east of the city?"

"What should we do? Are we going to the east of the city?"

Under the cover of the mortar team and the sniper team, the members of the blasting team attacked again. Facing the blockade of the defenders on the city, they began to rush under the city wall located in the east. They installed explosive packs, then detonated them, and collapsed a section of the city wall again.

Looking at the collapsed city wall again, the Japanese commander in charge of the east of the city said in a little panic: "Hurry! We need support! The Chinese army started attacking from us! They really started to attack the city! Hurry!"

Compared to the sound of artillery in the south of the city, many Japanese devils have seen attacking troops preparing to rush into the gap in the east of the city. What scares the defenders the most is the large number of combat troops appearing in the open space outside the city.

When we learned that a large number of siege troops were found in the east of the city, some Japanese and puppet troops who were preparing to rush to the south of the city to reinforce could only desperately rush to the east of the city to reinforce. The combat platoon responsible for the leading ones soon rushed to the gap and began to advance along the gap.

Under the cover of the mortar team, the combat platoon successfully entered the gap. What puzzled the guerrillas who were attacking with it was that the combat platoon leader who entered the gap quickly said: "Quick, deploy fortifications along both sides of the street to prepare for the Japanese to attack!"

"Don't we keep moving forward?"

"No! We are just responsible for the feint attack, and the main attack direction is on the south side of the city. Our task at this moment is very simple, which is to use this position to restrain the Japanese and puppet troops who are constantly coming to reinforce. Machine gunners all go to the city wall to build machine gun positions!"

The defenders on the side of the city wall were cleared, and the combat platoons that entered the city did not pursue the defenders who fled into the city. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese had not yet launched a counterattack, they quickly established a temporary defensive position on the side of the city wall.

Although the guerrilla captains who cooperated with each other seemed a little puzzled, they still knew that compared to offensive battles, their guerrillas were more familiar with defensive counterattacks. With city walls and fortifications as cover, they could also reduce casualties in combat.

Understand this point, the guerrilla captains who cooperated with the cooperation were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they commanded their respective team members to establish corresponding fortifications and positions on the side of the city wall. When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the two sides began to attack on the inside of the city gate.

With the combat platoon of the task force, he acted as a defensive and blocking guerrillas, he suddenly felt that the pressure had been reduced a lot. Some of the originally nervous new soldiers began to adapt to this cruel actual combat as the bullets fired continued to increase.

The battlefield on the east side of the city was handed over to Lei Xiong and several guerrilla captains. Hu Biao led Qin Tianyou and the rest of the combat troops to continue to move to the west side of the city. When the defenders in the west of the city saw the shells falling from the sky, many defenders were also shocked.

Some Japanese officers even said in disbelief: "Baga! How many troops do they have? Why did they come here again?"

No one explained the reason to them. The blasting team launched the operation again, blew up a huge gap in the already unstable city wall on the west side. Looking at the troops that began to attack under the cover of artillery fire, the defenders in the west of the city were also panicked.

"We need support! Hurry up, go and invite reinforcements immediately! The Chinese people will attack from our side!"

Because the senior commanders were collectively bombed to death, most of the remaining lieutenants were only responsible for the troops they commanded. Faced with the request for support from the defenders in the east and west of the city, these lieutenants seemed a little stunned, not knowing who to save.

On the other hand, when the puppet troops surviving the city saw attacking troops appearing in the east, west and south of the city, many puppet troops immediately decided to put oil on their feet. Taking advantage of the inadvertent Japanese in the city, many puppet troops took off their military uniforms and started running towards the north of the city.

When the first batch of puppet troops fled the battlefield and the news spread, more and more puppet troops quietly left the battlefield. Faced with this situation, the Japanese army, who were still standing in the city, said angrily: "Baga! These Imperial Army soldiers dare to be deserters!"

If someone goes away, what dares to dare?

In the eyes of these fleeing puppet soldiers, the surviving Japanese soldiers in the city will be in danger in the future. If these Japanese soldiers were killed, who would know that they had been puppet soldiers in Luzhou City? Change their clothes and throw away their guns, they are ordinary people!

Xu Sandao, who was lurking in the city, naturally saw clearly the situation of the puppet army escaping in the city. In fact, the security of the north city was also intentionally revealed by the reconnaissance team, which made the puppet army feel that there was still a glimmer of vitality.

For these puppet soldiers, what they cherish most is their lives. They usually tell the Japanese that they are loyal, but in fact, they follow the Japanese more to make a living. If they have to work hard, they run faster than anyone else!

The puppet army began to flee from the battlefield in large numbers, which was undoubtedly a very bad morale for the Japanese army that still insisted on staying behind. On the other hand, Hu Biao, who was in charge of the overall command, saw that the east and west of the city had a firm foothold, immediately ordered the general attack to start.

Looking at Tian Tiezhu beside him, Hu Biao said calmly: "Take a signal flare! Start a full-scale general attack!"

"Yes, captain!"

Tian Tiezhu, who took out the signal gun, put a signal flare into the chamber, pulled the trigger to fire the gun in the sky, and a dazzling signal flare rose into the air. Looking at the signal flare rising into the air, the remaining Japanese troops in the city knew that the most dangerous moment was coming.

The reinforcements that had originally rushed to the south of the city, saw the mountain shells plowing back and forth, and the heavy shells that were added from time to time in the later period. The Japanese army, who were worried about something going on in the east and west of the city, finally divided some troops to the east and west of the city.

When the signal flare appeared, Xu Sandao, who gathered at the intersection of Chengnan Street, immediately ordered: "Block this street! Before the main force attacked, no Japanese were allowed to pass by this road. Hold on, and the other brothers will arrive soon!"

"Yes, squadron leader!"

If Hu Biao placed Te all the way in the south of the city, the purpose was to break the defensive positions established by the Japanese army. Then Xu Sandao, who led the team into the city in advance, was responsible for cutting off the contact between the defenders in the south of the city and the other reinforcements.

As long as the special company cooperates with the guerrillas, they can solve the Japanese army in the south of the city in the shortest time. With the confidence of initial victory and the task force that has all the main forces can sweep the attacking edge across the city. At that time, the Japanese army will not be able to stop it.

Faced with the threat of attacking on both sides, there are more and more attacking troops. Unless the surviving Japanese soldiers plan to wipe out their entire army, those surviving Japanese soldiers will consider the opportunity to withdraw from Luzhou City first and then counterattack!
