After the brief report, Yang Jicai didn't care whether he asked for Yi Jianping's consent or not. He winked at the company commander and asked the company commander to take Yi Jianping's guards to take Yi Jianping away forcibly because Yang Jicai knew that As long as the Japanese troops did not reach the headquarters, Yi Jianping would not agree to leave.
Rather than wasting time because of persuasion, it is better to send him away forcibly. Although it seems extremely rude and disrespectful to his superiors, in comparison, Yi Jianping's safety is more important. How to deal with himself afterwards? It's a matter for superiors, but now ensuring Yi Jianping's safety is the first priority.
The company commander turned his head very quickly. After receiving the look from Yang Jicai, he did not hesitate or delay at all, let alone whether he offended the commander. He and the two guards beside Yi Jianping took advantage of the opportunity. The firepower of the Japanese army had not blocked the entire headquarters, so they forced Yi Jianping to leave from another exit of the headquarters and quickly evacuated toward the back mountain.
After Yi Jianping left, Yang Jicai, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to his communications staff: "You take a squad, and in addition to leaving a walkie-talkie for me, all the radio stations covering here will also evacuate to the back mountain. , when retreating, the telephone lines between here and the back mountain will also be dismantled."
"The next step in our contact is to use walkie-talkies. No phones are allowed until this Japanese army is eliminated. I will immediately organize artillery fire to cover you. I can only give you ten minutes. You are just exhausted. I also need to safely evacuate all radio stations to the backup command post in the back mountain."
Seeing Yang Jicai's ferocious face when he confessed these words, the communications staff officer did not dare to refute, and led the only remaining squad of the command headquarters to rush to another underground shelter outside, braving the intensive bullets from the Japanese army. , rushed towards the cave where the communications department was located.
It's just that the target of the squad he led was obviously much larger than that of Yi Jianping and the three of them. Although Yi Jianping rushed out safely, their actions also attracted the attention of the Japanese troops in front of them. Although it was not dark yet. It was bright, but the Japanese troops kept firing flares, so it was still easy to observe the movement here.
Although the Diwozi where the radio station is located is only less than thirty meters away from Yang Jicai's headquarters, since the Japanese army has touched this place, they will not notice it. The antenna erected by the high-power radio station is too obvious. With the high-power radio antenna as the target, even a fool knows where this place is.
Although the radio stations manufactured by the Anti-League Company have relatively high power, the current radio stations are not the kind of microwave communication or satellite communication systems that will be used in a few decades. Although it is not necessary to build an antenna that is too high, it is about two meters. Height is still needed, and the size of the radio antenna must be larger.
For such an obvious target, the Japanese army is not blind. I am afraid that it has already been locked in when they approached it. The Japanese army that rushed over for whatever reason, regardless of whether they knew in advance that this was Yang Jicai's headquarters, but the current tactical intention, It is already obvious that all the anti-alliance headquarters in Bala Chirud are going to be wiped out.
But at a distance of thirty meters, facing the fire blockade of the Japanese army, they could not even make tactical moves. The rising flares exposed them as soon as they took action. As a new flare fired by the Japanese army rose into the sky. , a Type 92 heavy machine gun that had not fired before swept over with dense machine gun bullets, and at the same time, several grenades fired from grenades also fell down.
Although the Japanese troops who came over were blocked by the guard troops and could not get closer at a distance of 500 meters, and the grenade was already close to its maximum range because of the distance of 500 meters, and the sky was not bright yet, it was difficult for them to get close. Visual observation still has a considerable impact.
Compared with heavy machine guns that rely on firepower intensity, visual observation is also required. Even if there are flares, the impact point of the grenade at a distance of 500 meters is not so accurate, and the threat it brings here is It is limited, but for heavy machine guns, this distance of 500 meters is the best killing range.
In order to strengthen the forward firepower, Yang Jicai allocated all the few rocket launchers and 60-guns he had to the front-line troops. The guard troops around him, including the company brought by Yi Jianping, were only nine squadrons. With machine guns, and three Polish-made Browning light machine guns.
Although the company Yi Jianping brought was an infantry company transferred from the First Division, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was equipped with long-range weapons. The company-level main firepower general-purpose machine gun was not brought. The battalion-level high-level dual-purpose firepower The 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun was not brought, only the Type 40 squad light machine gun that was part of each squad's organizational system was brought.
Although there were quite a number of machine guns, with a total of nine machine guns, plus three French light machine guns, a total of twelve machine guns, these twelve machine guns were only barely suppressed by the interference of Japanese grenade launchers. The Japanese army's six crooked guns and two Type 92 heavy machine guns.
While still suppressing the Japanese infantry who were attacking at all costs after discovering that there might be a big fish on the other side, they really couldn't mobilize the firepower to suppress this newly emerged heavy machine gun. This one hardly received any damage. The interfering Type 92 heavy machine gun easily blocked the connection between the command headquarters and the hidden part of the radio station.
He even managed to coordinate two grenade launchers with ease to seal off the concealed area where the radio station was located, trapping the people inside unable to move forward or retreat. Before they could even reach the door of the sheltered area where the radio station was located, the squad led by the communications staff officer, A third of it has been knocked down.
The remaining people were suppressed outside the shelter door by the extremely accurate firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, unable to move at all. They were less than thirty meters away, but they were still unable to rush past. Although I don't know why. This Japanese army only blocked others to rescue the radio station, rather than directly blowing up the radio station. However, this situation will undoubtedly bring a serious threat to the radio station.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Jicai didn't hesitate at all. He didn't have time to help others, so he personally grabbed the walkie-talkie left beside him. Instead of trying to communicate with Gou at the front, he directly tried to communicate with the artillery position at the back. Yang Jicai knew very well that the four units A high-power radio station, not just Yi Jianping or one or two people, would not be too difficult to escape even if it was under the nose of the Japanese army.
How could it be so easy to dismantle four high-power radio stations, together with hand-cranked motor generators, under the noses of the Japanese army? Especially the dismantling of the antennas still took a certain amount of time, and under the Japanese army's fire blockade, dismantling the antennas was also difficult. A pretty dangerous thing.
If this passive situation cannot be changed in a short period of time, and if the Japanese army fails to attack sneakily and changes to a forceful attack, then there is no question whether the four radio stations can survive the bombardment of Japanese grenade launchers. Who can guarantee that they will be strengthened in the face of this Japanese army? The squadron did not carry mortars or the 92nd Infantry Artillery, which was the standard firepower of the Japanese army.
These little devils have been slow to use grenades or the mortars and infantry guns they may carry. They use all the grenades to suppress the machine gun fire of the blocking troops in front, and only use light and heavy machine guns to block their own side. , his intention was probably to seize his own radio station, or simply capture his own prisoners.
It's not necessarily that the little devil knew that this was his headquarters, but the several field telephone lines leading to the forward positions and Linxi's front battlefield column, as well as the antennas of the four high-power radio stations, easily exposed this. The real purpose of the two underground nests.
In addition to the telephone line, it is not clear yet how the Japanese troops were attracted, as well as the jeep that the political commissar was riding in when he arrived and was outside at the moment, as well as the escorting troops. Although the truck and jeep we were riding in were much cruder than cars, it looked like an iron frame with the engine attached.
But no matter how simple it is, it is still a car, and it is definitely not a truck. Wherever there are such cars, they are often high-level headquarters. This is an inevitable rule on the battlefield. The Japanese army will not be unaware of it, but for Yang Jicai, no matter What are the true intentions and thoughts of this Japanese army? It is best to deal with them as soon as possible.
This is not only related to the safety of the command headquarters, but also the need to stabilize the morale of the frontline troops. The troops are mainly new recruits. The intensive gunshots ringing behind them will not affect the morale and determination of the troops. If this force is not dealt with as soon as possible, If the Japanese troops that break into their rear are eaten, then the troops at the front are likely to be shaken thinking that they are being attacked from both sides.
Since the number of infantry is not enough, it is a relatively simple way to solve the problem to use artillery shells to talk to them and firepower. Yang Jicai currently neither dares nor can he mobilize any company from the front to solve the problem in front of him. stocks, and more Japanese troops may follow behind them.
Because the intensive sound of gunfire in front of Bala Qirud at the moment told him how much pressure there was now. If such a few Japs led to the lack of troops on the front line of Bala Qirud, then some people would stop eating because of choking. If If the Japanese army breaks through, the gains will outweigh the losses.
With limited troops on hand, calling in artillery to deal with this Japanese army in a short period of time is naturally the first choice. Especially since Yang Jicai currently has quite sufficient artillery on hand, he cannot afford to take too big a risk with this force. Too much entanglement by the Japanese army.
At this moment, there is an artillery position just behind the hillock of the reserve concealment department. There is a 100mm howitzer company and a 75mm field artillery company deployed there. As early as the line from Balaqirude to Aohan Yingzi After the battle started, Qiu Jintang handed over all command of the two companies to Yang Jicai.
It's just that Yang Jicai never used these two artillery batteries because they had other purposes. No matter how tense the frontline situation was, he never used these two artillery batteries. The eight artillery pieces of these two artillery batteries have been transferred to Balakirud has been waiting in hiding since the first line.
No matter what Yang Jicai's original intention was, at this moment he couldn't care less about the fact that the two artillery batteries that were originally intended to be used as surprise troops were not used at this time. They had to wait until when to use them, and the forward blocking force and the Japanese army had already interacted with each other. Yang Jicai could no longer consider whether the combat distance of less than thirty meters would cause accidental damage. How to deal with this Japanese army as quickly as possible was what he needed to do most at the moment.
The reason why the Japanese army launched an attack so close was to avoid the damage of artillery fire. If the two armies did not dare to use artillery fire because they were too close to each other, that would be just what the Japanese army wanted. Moreover, he also believed that with the technology of artillery, even if the two armies were now
Even if the distance is less than thirty meters, there will be no accidental injury.
And even if it would cause a small amount of accidental damage, he recognized it. It was not that he only cared about his own safety and ignored the safety of the troops in the fierce battle ahead. It was because he was eager to stabilize the mood of the frontline troops and clear out the troops that had penetrated deep into his own defense line.
This enemy force in depth was a bit exaggerated, but after weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't care too much.
