Anti-Japanese War: I am the warlord of Ping'an County! The whole army is German!

Chapter 215: The Tiger Guards abandon the first line of defense!

"Commander, the Japanese attack is very fierce. They have mobilized all their forces for this night attack."

"And it's clear that the Japs are determined to capture Chidong County tonight."

"The Japs no longer care about casualties. According to the current situation, they will soon rush to our first line of defense."

Wu Qianli put down the telescope and whispered to Zhou Weimin beside him.

Wu Qianli really had no way to deal with the Japanese's attack that disregarded casualties.

After all, the number of Japanese soldiers is much larger than that of the Tiger Guards Division.

Especially these devils are not weak and have good combat effectiveness.

"Order Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu to abandon the first line of defense and withdraw their forces."

"The Guards Regiment also abandoned the first line of defense and retreated to the second line."

"Also tell Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu that they can abandon the second line of defense if necessary."

"But your guard regiment must hold the second line of defense."

"The second line of defense at the east, south, and west gates of Chidong County doesn't have heavy weapons like anti-aircraft guns."

"But your Guards Regiment's second line of defense has heavy weapons like anti-aircraft guns, so your Guards Regiment should be able to hold the second line of defense."

"The tanks will arrive in half an hour."

"So you only need to hold off the devils for half an hour. I will give the order to counterattack after half an hour."

After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin was silent for a while, and then said to Wu Qianli.

In fact, Zhou Weimin was really careless this time and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese.

After this battle, the Tiger Guard Division in Chidong County would lose at least half of its troops, perhaps even more.

Now, apart from the medical company, there are only a few hundred logistics troops in Chidong County.

In fact, everyone has taken up the position.

"Commander, don't worry, my guard regiment will definitely die on the second front." Wu Qianli said loudly after hearing Zhou Weimin's words.

Then Wu Qianli walked out of the command center.

Moreover, Wu Qianli has decided to go to the second front in person to block the Japanese attack.

......

The south gate of Chidong County.

The south gate of Chidong County was defended by Wang Dali, a fierce general under Zhou Weimin.

He was also a fierce general of the Tiger Guard Division.

Wang Dali’s favorite battle is charging, so the south gate of Chidong County is different from the east gate and west gate of Chidong County.

The south gate of Chidong County suffered heavy losses.

The losses were much greater than those at the east and west gates of Chidong County.

Now there are only seven or eight hundred soldiers at the south gate of Chidong County, and two-thirds of the troops were lost in one day.

It was precisely because the South Gate of Chidong County suffered huge losses that the South Gate defended by Wang Dali was the first to collapse among the four gates of Chidong County.

"Commander, the Japanese attack is too fierce. We are already a little overwhelmed."

"The third battalion commander just died. Should we ask the division commander for help?"

The second battalion commander found an opportunity, trotted to Wang Dali and said to him.

At this moment, the second battalion commander was also injured, but it was only a minor injury, with a few bullet scratches.

I have to say that the second battalion commander was very lucky. He was only scratched all over, but was not hit by any bullet.

"Ask for help? How can we ask for help? There are no soldiers at the division commander's place right now. The guard battalion has already gone to support the north gate."

"We'll hold on a little longer. The division commander said there will be troops to support us tonight."

After hearing what the second battalion commander said, Wang Dali turned around and spoke loudly to him.

In fact, Wang Dali guessed that the Japanese would launch a night attack, but what Wang Dali did not guess was that the Japanese would actually mobilize all their troops.

Moreover, the Japanese now no longer have to decide on the main attack point. The four gates of Chidong County are all the main targets of the Japanese attack.

Wang Dali knew that the Japanese were getting anxious, and he also understood that the Japanese wanted to capture Chidong County tonight.

Now the Tiger Guards can only fight to the death.

After hearing what Wang Dali said, the second battalion commander understood that he had to fight to the death. He was not afraid of fighting to the death.

The second battalion commander was afraid that the Japanese would break through the position of their third regiment.

And just when the second battalion commander was about to go back.

A signalman came trotting over, bent over, and said to Wang Dali, "Commander, the division has ordered us to abandon the first line of defense."

"And if necessary, we can abandon the second line of defense. Our reinforcements will arrive in Chidong County in half an hour."

"In half an hour, the division will fire a red flare. This red flare is also our order to counterattack."

After Wang Dali heard the signalman's words, he immediately looked at the second battalion commander and said, "Did you hear that?"

"Go and convey the division commander's order immediately. Evacuate the first line of defense. Remember to retreat in rotation. You must not evacuate all at once."

"Otherwise the Japs will charge in. Take all the wounded soldiers I can with me."

After hearing what Wang Dali said, the Second Battalion Commander quickly said, "Commander, I have already evacuated the wounded to the third line of defense."

"I will go and convey the order right now, and I will also leave a surprise for the devils."

After Wang Dali heard what the Second Battalion Commander said, he was stunned and shouted, "What a surprise! Evacuate immediately."

"Leave those mines on the first line of defense. I'll have the heavy artillery bombard the first line of defense later."

After hearing what Wang Dali said, the second battalion commander quickly said, "Yes!" Then he bent over and left.

After the second battalion commander left.

Wang Daliyou said to the signalman, "Order the heavy artillery to bombard the first line of defense in five minutes. Fire all the shells at me."

After hearing what Wang Dali said, the signalman quickly said, "Yes!" Then he bent down to convey the order.

"Kakaka..."

Because they were about to evacuate the first line of defense, all the heavy machine gunners opened fire to cover the evacuation.

For a moment, the flames from more than a dozen heavy machine guns began to temporarily suppress the Japanese attack.

"Click click click..."

The heavy machine gun that was firing wildly suddenly stopped, making a sound of the firing pin hitting empty air.

"Quick, change the barrel!"

The heavy machine gunner shouted loudly to the observer on the right.

"Change your ass! Retreat quickly. The heavy artillery bombardment will be here soon." The observer shouted loudly after hearing what the heavy machine gunner said.

As the heavy machine guns on the first line of defense slowly ceased firing, all the soldiers on the first line of defense had retreated.

The Japanese officers who attacked the south gate of Chidong County saw that a regiment of soldiers had voluntarily abandoned their defense line.

His entire body was shaking with excitement.

The Japanese officer drew his command knife and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Empire, the Chinese are retreating, charge forward..."

"Onboard..."

All the Japs were extremely excited. What was the point of charging so desperately under the artillery fire?

Isn’t it just about taking over the Tiger Guard Division’s position?
