I'll settle this grudge with you for a hundred years

Chapter 370 County Defense Battle

After recovering from his shock, Political Commissar Li continued to ask, "Have you figured out the statistics of your battle losses?"

Lu Sheng replied respectfully: It has come out.

Bring it to me.

Lu Sheng handed a note to Political Commissar Li.

Seeing the above data, Political Commissar Li was a little shocked.

Seeing that Political Commissar Li had a strange expression on his face, General Peng took the note from Li's hand and read it himself.

There were 5,000 people participating in the battle, and 9,000 enemy troops were wiped out. We lost 194 people, 311 were injured, 12 civilians were injured, and countless weapons and ammunition were seized.

At the same time, General Peng's expression was also very strange.

Political Commissar Li asked softly: "Boss, if I ask you to lead the troops to attack the county town, how many troops do you think it will take to take it?"

Looking at the data on the note, General Peng said: If it were me, considering the weapons, terrain, and the people in the city, I feel that I would have to use at least 20,000 or 25,000 troops to take it down, and the combat casualties would have to reach at least one third, or even more.

Political Commissar Li nodded; yes, after all, the enemy could rely on the city gate tower to shoot at us, but just as Lu Sheng said, Xiaoyang’s first thought was to destroy the enemy’s firepower points, forcing them to fight us head-on.

Yes, that boy is indeed a genius. Not only is he good at fighting tactics, but he is also very skilled in martial arts. I think it would be no problem for him to be the army commander.

Boss, you are right, but Xiaoyang's character is still not good enough.

While the two were chatting, a soldier came running to report.

Boss, Political Commissar, it's bad. A large number of Japanese soldiers have arrived from Taiyuan and are heading towards us.

The Japanese in Taiyuan? The county town is gone, why are they here?

Mr. Peng was somewhat puzzled.

Political Commissar Li did have a rough guess.

Boss, is there a possibility that after Xiaoyang raided the county town, the Japanese sent a telegram for help? These Japanese thought the county town could only hold out for a few days, so they sent troops to reinforce it.

Do you know how many people there are on the other side?

The soldier shook his head. There was a huge crowd of them, at least tens of thousands of them, and they were carrying a lot of heavy weapons, such as mortars, heavy machine guns, and I even saw a few armored vehicles.

Oh, it seems that the Japanese are getting a little anxious. They are giving us so many good things. They are just delivering equipment to us.

Lu Sheng said: Do you want me to go and wake up the commander?

General Peng said unhappily: "Why are you shouting? Is he, Liu Yiyang, the only one in the entire northwest of Shanxi who can lead troops? No need to call him. Order all the soldiers to gather at the west gate."

Yes.

Lu Sheng saluted.

Then he turned on the intercom and shouted: All team leaders, bring your men to the west gate to gather.

After the order was given, General Peng and Political Commissar Li simultaneously took off the Barrett rifles hanging from their backs.

After thinking about it for so long, Political Commissar Li can finally try out the power of Ballette on a person.

When we arrived at the west gate, the troops had already begun to gather.

Several soldiers immediately set up a temporary command post for General Peng.

Glanced at the map.

Lao Li, you see, there is only one road here. We can just stand on the city wall and defend it. There is no need to deploy troops.

Political Commissar Li also saw it from the map.

Yes, it is a highway, but I think it is better to scatter some troops in the city and let them patrol around.

General Peng immediately understood Political Commissar Li’s intention.

It’s still you, Old Li. Xiaoyang can know that if the attack on the front line does not go well, he will definitely think of climbing over the mountain and entering from the side of the county town.

General Peng patted his forehead and said, "Look at me. I was only thinking about using this Barrett to fight the Japanese and forgot all about these things."

Political Commissar Li said: How about this, you take some brothers to the city wall to survey the terrain and deploy defenses, and I will take some brothers to various corners of the city. When I am ready, I will go to the city wall to meet you.

Okay, be careful about everything.

After that, the two began to split up.

General Peng began to give orders: Those whose guns have a longer range should follow me to the city wall, and the rest of you should take up your defensive weapons, stand by behind the city gate, and be ready to resist the Japanese invaders who rush into the city at any time.

Yes~!!

The soldiers picked up their weapons and prepared according to the boss's instructions.

Every street and alley in the city.

Political Commissar Li took the map and began to deploy personnel everywhere.

You guys, guard the nearby area and keep an eye out for anyone trying to climb over the wall.

You, you, you, and you, you lurk in civilians' homes, and if you encounter the Japanese, then launch an attack.

On the city wall, General Peng was watching with a telescope.

A crowd of people appeared in the field of vision.

General Peng said: The enemy is coming, give priority to those on horseback.

Yes.

The enemy troops approached slowly.

At this time, Political Commissar Li had also finished his arrangements and came to the city gate tower.

Boss, what's the situation now?

Mr. Peng responded while observing.

The enemy is less than twenty miles away. I plan to fight them closer. If it were you, how would you fight?

Political Commissar Li also picked up the telescope to observe, and then replied.

If it were me, I would do the same as you, in order to effectively kill the target, the closer the better. But if it was Xiaoyang, I dare say that Xiaoyang would definitely open the door and rush out to fight with those little devils.

Hey, you know what, if that guy really was leading the troops, it might really be like that.

The two burst into laughter.

The enemy was less than five miles away from the county town. The Japanese soldiers and others stopped and began to look around.

The Japanese officer dismounted and asked: Didn't they say that the enemy would raid the county town? Why didn't we hear any gunfire?

A Japanese soldier replied: Report, I don’t know either, but we did receive a telegram for help from the county.

While the two were communicating, they didn't know that several sniper rifles were already aimed at their heads.

Only two gunshots were heard, and two Barrett bullets flew out of the gun barrels.

The Japanese soldier who heard the sound didn't have time to turn around to see where the gunshot came from before his head exploded like a watermelon.

Seeing their officers being killed, the Japanese immediately launched a counterattack.

General Peng, who had hit the Japanese, mocked Political Commissar Li: Old Li, it seems you are still getting old. The shot was only a few meters away and you missed. Hahaha.

Political Commissar Li looked unconvinced: I was just not used to it just now, but watch me next time, I will definitely hit more than you.

The two men rushed to shoot at the Japanese soldiers who were riding horses or carrying sabers.

Seeing that both commanders had opened fire, the soldiers naturally would not be willing to fall behind and they all aimed at the Japanese and shot.

Faced with the hail of bullets from the city wall, the Japanese did not hesitate and launched a charge towards the west gate of the county again and again.

The Japanese soldiers, who had fought many battles, knew that as long as they took the city gate and rushed into the city, the battle would be half won.
