Chapter 395: Counterattack on Jincheng South! !
Pingtuo Mountain, combat command room.
Lin Tianchen brought the command center back to this place again. The dense gunfire from the direction of Jincheng made him stand in front of the window of the bunker built by the command center.
The groups of soldiers behind him were setting up the radio, reconnecting the telephone lines, and beginning to lay out the blueprints in an orderly manner.
The entire combat command room was bustling with activity.
Everyone is on a taut string, without any slackness.
Outside the command room, Yuan Jing and Lin Xiu were also arranging some motors.
Since arriving at the Tiger Guards Brigade, she and Yuan Jing had brought some students from Pudong National University, some of whom stayed in Heiyun Village to help Cheng Tingying, and some who knew how to repair radios, motors, and telephones, and followed them to the front line and became part of the command system.
"Brother, when Brigade Lin was in Xingshan, the artillery company was bombarding the sea..."
"When I was evacuating, I took a look and saw that the place was full of flames. I just don't know what the result of the bombardment of the navy was..."
Although Lin Xiu was in the command center, not many people knew the results of this bombardment. In addition, the continuous transfers and high-intensity command operations left her with no time to spare.
The Tiger Brigade was fighting on the ground, and the various regiments were fighting in various places. The overall battle rhythm was very fast.
"The result is not that, we have done our best, that's all."
Yuan Jing was debugging the phone. He suddenly looked up and said something, then lowered his head and silently connected one phone line after another.
The Battle of Pudong was not only a battle involving millions of troops, but also a naval battle and an air battle.
For him now, he doesn't need to care about the results at all, but rather work hard on the process, just like the sky outside is gloomy now, and the smoke rising into the sky all over Jincheng.
The sound of gunfire is more intense than ever before, which means that they are still on the road. Since they are on the road, there is no need to reminisce too much about the past. People should still look forward.
"Lin Lu, the telephone line is connected." Yuan Jing quickly adjusted the telephone line and reported to Lin Tianchen immediately.
"Okay, try to contact Jincheng New 1st and New 2nd Regiment and ask about their pressure."
When Lin Tianchen looked towards Jincheng, his expression was very solemn and he spoke quickly.
From the dense distribution of red dots on the map and the Japanese soldiers who kept pouring into the battlefield, he understood that the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments were facing a fierce attack from the Japanese soldiers at this moment.
Before leaving, he deliberately established two lines of defense, but now one of them has been lost.
Even a large section of the city wall was broken by artillery fire, which was obviously caused by large-caliber artillery. This means that it is very likely that a group of reinforcements entered Jincheng.
"Do we need to help them?" Lin Tianchen looked very serious.
If the fighting continues like this, even if the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments hold on, they will be badly damaged, which is definitely what Lin Tianchen does not want to see.
Moreover, once Jincheng falls, the result will not be what he wants to see. Now Jincheng is the center of the battle. Once he loses the fight for it, it means failure at the strategic level.
Any advantages gained from previous operations will be lost.
Fang Bailu, who had just finished setting up the telegraph, quickly appeared beside Lin Tianchen and said quickly:
"Lin Brigade, the 3rd Regiment and the Independent Regiment have begun to retreat and consolidate their positions as ordered. The Independent Regiment has withdrawn smoothly."
"The Fourth Regiment just sent a telegram saying that near Jinjiang River in Changbai Mountain, they crippled two pursuing Japanese battalions, seized a batch of supplies, and are continuing to move deeper into the Changbai Mountain Range. We don't need to worry."
"The latest intelligence from Dark Tiger is that the Bear Kingdom's Far East Headquarters has declared war on the Kwantung Army and told us to pay attention to the Marines. They have already landed at Jincheng Port and are probably heading towards us."
Fang Bailu's tone gradually became serious. After a slight pause, he spoke again:
"The First Regiment, the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment, and the Cavalry Battalion encountered the Japanese attacking the city defenders at Changsong Mountain. The Japanese currently have about 30,000 troops."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tianchen's face immediately became more solemn, and his eyes could not help but look towards the north. If it was a force of about 30,000, it meant that all the defenders of the city were mobilized.
These transfers are obvious. The Japanese want to take advantage of the time difference and the moment when the Tiger Brigade is divided to eat up the troops in Changling Mountain. At present, an encirclement has been formed around Changling Mountain. Jin Cheng keeps putting pressure on the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments and is completely unable to get away.
Once the troops in Changling Mountain are defeated, they can march straight in to support Jincheng.
"It seems that the Japanese have calculated our military strength." Lin Tianchen frowned, his face very solemn.
It has to be said that the commander of the Kwantung Army was under tremendous pressure. Even with a visual map, the huge gap in troop strength still made him feel a strong sense of danger.
The only good news now is that the Kwantung Army cannot move south because the Xiongguo Far East Command and the Kwantung Army have declared war, forcing them to take into account the defense line in the north.
At present, there are two places that Lin Tianchen needs to pay most attention to. One is the New 1st West 2nd Regiment, which must hold on in Jincheng, and the other is Changling Mountain. One regiment is fighting against 30,000 with only 6,000 troops. Even if it is a position defense battle, the number of casualties caused by a battle is not acceptable to Lin Tianchen.
Lin Tianchen didn't want to experience the scene at the Soul-Suppressing Pass again.
"If we want to support the first regiment, we must pin the Japanese in Jincheng to death here, and let the third regiment hold on alone while the independent regiment goes back to provide support." Lin Tianchen's eyes fell on the map, his eyes revealing a strong and sharp look.
War is like a huge machine. The moment the gears start turning, it is destined not to stop. For Lin Tianchen, every link cannot go wrong.
"Has the Second Regiment returned?"
"The second regiment is almost in Jincheng. It should take another ten minutes." Fang Bailu responded seriously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen rummaged through Xiao Shanzi's bag and pulled out a map. Based on the visual map, he kept marking the firepower deployment and troop concentration of the Japanese devils in Jincheng on the map.
The speed was very fast, and the people in the command room dared not breathe, for fear of disturbing the figure who was writing so quickly.
After about a moment, Lin Tianchen looked up at Xiaoshanzi and then handed him the map.
"Go and give this to Li Weiguo in person. Tell him to have the Second Regiment attack directly from the south of the city, and then counterattack from the west after entering! Have him advance to this position as quickly as possible. I don't want casualties, I just want time. Tell him to provide ample artillery support."
Lin Tianchen explained it in emphasis.
"Yes!" Xiao Shanzi had followed Lin Tianchen for so long, so he naturally knew how important this battle was.
After saying that, the figure quickly ran outside.
After giving this order, Lin Tianchen gave another order.
This time, they have to race against time. Every second they slow down will result in a geometric increase in casualties.
"Fang Bailu, call Zhuzi and have him return his artillery position to area 044 and be ready to attack at any time!"
"Yes." Fang Bailu kept running back and forth in the command room.
The entire command room was filled with figures like this.
Even the door curtain of the command room was hung on the side.
And this is just to allow the soldiers to enter and exit more quickly...
