Chapter 285: Besieged
"I found that there is a prominent part of the Chinese army that is advancing to the east of Changde!" A communications staff officer ran in and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The East Gate is the only way for us to retreat, how many of them are there?" Isamu Yokoyama frowned.
"There are about 700 people, and there are two squadrons where we are stationed, and they say that the fire of the Chinese army is fierce, and it is almost impossible to stop it!" The staff officer said again.
"You can't lose it here, order to go down, transfer two brigades from the periphery of Changde to annihilate this group of Zhina army at all costs and clear the obstacles along the way, and cover the retreat of the large army!"
"Yes!"
This prominent enemy is naturally Lu Hai and Wei Peicang, they swept all the way, but they hit near the east gate, they met a small force of the Japanese army before, so they did not encounter any obstacles all the way to attack, one hit here and finally met the garrison Japanese here, two squadrons of Japanese troops, the two sides became a melee as soon as they came into contact, Lu Hai and Wei Peicang covered each other to attack the Japanese army, this is why there was this scene, what they didn't know was that the retreat direction of the Japanese army was actually the east gate, I don't know what they'll face next!
On the battlefield on the outskirts of Changde, the Japanese troops of the two brigades quietly withdrew and quickly approached the direction of Changde, and the Chinese army, which had been fiercely fighting with the Japanese army for half a day, finally stopped and did not notice the movement of the Japanese troops, but thought that the Japanese army was repairing after a day of bloody fighting!
After three fierce charges, Lu Hai and the others also captured these places garrisoned by the Japanese army, Wei Peicang's flank troops had already torn a hole in the side of the Japanese army through Lu Hai's cover, and the attacking troops had even rushed to the dilapidated city wall!
The battle was still unfolding, the walls were full of soldiers aiming at each other, some soldiers were also fighting bayonets, and in this situation, Lu Hai's troops also intensified their attacks, and with this powerful offensive, the Japanese lost most of the Japanese and the rest had to retreat.
"Send electricity to the army commander, and the east gate has been restored!" Lu Hai said.
"What's next?" Wei Peicang asked.
"Wait for the commander's order to make plans, tell the soldiers to eat first and organize the ammunition!" Lu Hai said.
In the military department, after getting the news that Lu Hai and they captured the east gate, Lu Daoyuan was also happy, the north gate and the east gate were recovered one after another, the Japanese army has been surrounded, and the recovery of Changde is only a matter of time, Lu Daoyuan said happily: "The defeat of the Japanese army has been decided, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" ”
"Yes, commander, you go and rest first, you haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights, if you continue like this, the recurrence of the old disease will be worse!" Xiao Benyuan said.
"It's okay, when this battle is over, it's not too late for me to sleep with him for three days and three nights, tell them to leave the 31st Regiment for garrison, and the 29th Regiment will quickly move closer to the south of the city and continue to attack!" Lu Daoyuan ordered.
"Yes"!
With the issuance of the order, Wei Peicang's troops immediately moved closer to the south gate, and there were only more than 300 people left in the east of the city. ”
"Order down, early warning mines are buried around the city wall, and hurry up and rest after you are busy with these!"
"Yes!"
The sky gradually darkened, the gray sky gradually became dark, except for some houses that were still burning and emitted this faint light, the rest fell into darkness!
The fierce battle at the South Gate continued, and as the entire strength of the 58th Army was deployed here, the pressure on the Japanese army was increasing, and after the sky was dark, the Japanese attack suddenly stopped.
However, the 58th Army did not mean to stop at all, but charged and attacked the Japanese army again and again with a posture of beating the water dogs, and the Japanese army had to fight back but was bitten to death!
Similarly, in the direction of the east gate, except for the necessary sentries, the rest of the soldiers had already leaned on the ruins of the city wall and slept, and Lu Hai also leaned on the city wall to sleep, and since the beginning of the war, Lu Hai slept for four hours at the longest time, and he was extremely tired.
Darkness gradually enveloped the entire city of Changde, the south of the city was still blazing, the explosion roared loudly, but the east of the city was quiet and a little terrible, except for some sleeping soldiers and some corpses.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in the land outside the city wall, and several Japanese soldiers were blown up in the firelight.
"There is a situation, enter the position!" Lu Hai suddenly stood up and shouted.
The night wind is very cold, and the people who blow it shiver, especially after sleeping in the open air for a while in such weather, they wake up only to feel that their whole body has been stiffened.
In the darkness of all directions, he didn't know how many Japanese troops were coming, and Lu Hai shouted violently: "Flares!" ”
A soldier hurriedly pulled out a flare gun and fired a shot into the sky, and with a sharp cracking sound, a dazzling white light rushed into the sky.
The light tore through the darkness violently, and also tore through everything hidden in the darkness, and what made them even more afraid was that what was hidden in the darkness was so terrible, it made them tremble more than the biting cold wind!
It was a group of Japanese troops charging over, and it was so dense that I couldn't see how many people there were, and in the same way, there were eight Japanese tanks and some personnel carriers without lights on, and there was an artillery position being constructed!
Gunshots rang out violently, rifles, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns were all firing fiercely, and bullets flew into the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and at the same time, some soldiers pulled grenades and threw them into the crowd of Japanese soldiers!
"Commander, there are too many little devils, what should I do?"
"Send a telegram to the commander and ask for reinforcements"! Lu Hai knocked a Japanese soldier to the ground with a single shot, and then shouted.
"If you can't stand it, let's retreat!" Zhao Weiguo said urgently.
"I'm killing you when you're saying this, what should we do if we withdraw these devils and rush in?" Lu Hai said angrily.
When this place was attacked, Lu Hai had already come up with two possibilities, either the Japanese army wanted to retreat and the direction of retreat was the east gate, because there were absolutely superior Chinese troops elsewhere, and another possibility was that the Japanese army was unwilling to defeat and continued to transfer troops to try to redeem the defeat!
One thing is certain, that is, no matter what, they will not be able to retreat, so as to buy time for the large army!
"What? A large Japanese army appeared at the east gate! Lu Daoyuan suddenly got up and said.
"Lu Hai and they are still fighting with the Japanese army, but Lu Hai only has more than 300 people in his hands, so he can't stop it for long!" Xiao Benyuan said worriedly.
"Order, the 29th Regiment rushed to the aid of Lu Hai, and told Lu Hai to try his best to block the offensive of these Japanese troops, and the 29th Regiment will arrive immediately!" Lu Daoyuan said.
"What happened to the Japanese troops at the front?" Lu Daoyuan asked.
"The Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking before, but it was attacked by our army again, and the two sides are still in a stalemate!"
"Do you think the Japanese want to retreat or continue to attack us?" Lu Daoyuan asked sharply.
"It is unlikely that the Japanese army will retreat, just from the face of the Japanese army will not retreat so easily, the purpose of their troops is likely to be to increase troops and fight with us, as long as it is after tonight, tomorrow the Japanese planes will launch a fierce air attack again, we still have a lot of pressure, so the Japanese army will not retreat!" Xiao Benyuan analyzed.
"I also think that it is unlikely that they will retreat, tell the front line to continue to strengthen the offensive, bite the Japanese army to the death, and we must divide the victory and defeat tonight!" Lu Daoyuan ordered.
"Yes!"
At the east gate, the fierce battle continued, the Japanese army had many troops and fierce firepower, tanks, artillery, and mortars continued to open fire, and the explosion and roar on the entire city wall.
In the explosion, a large number of machine gunners were fiercely attacked by the Japanese army, and the casualties were very serious, but fortunately, a large number of Japanese machine guns were captured before, so the Japanese troops who were still charging up with machine gun fire were also put down by the fierce crossfire, and the periphery of the city gate alone was densely packed with countless corpses of Japanese soldiers!
However, at this time, the city wall was already broken, and under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army, several large holes were broken under the city wall, and the Japanese attack troops also began to charge from these holes, not only that, but the Japanese tanks also followed up and wanted to break through these ruins to attack!
Seeing that the Japanese tanks were about to come up, Lu Hai hurriedly ordered: "Organize death squads and blow up these tanks!" ”
"Yes!"
"Mortars, don't feel sorry for the ammunition, fire fiercely from these gaps, and blow up these grandchildren!"
"Yes!"
Lu Hai said and raised his hand and knocked over a soldier on the top of the Japanese tank with another shot, and then locked on to the next target and fired, a Japanese soldier was knocked to the ground in the gunshot, just when Lu Hai pulled the bolt sharply and was about to fire again, a tank below turned the turret sharply and aimed a 75 mm main gun at Lu Hai who was firing on the city wall!
Lu Hai hurriedly jumped to the side in shock, and at that moment the tanks below roared violently, and a cannonball slammed into the city wall and roared, and in the firelight were scattered with broken bricks and scorching shrapnel.
"Captain!" Zhao Weiguo hurriedly shouted and pulled Lu Hai out of the pile of turning heads, only to see that there was also a piece of shrapnel inserted in Lu Hai's calf, and blood flowed out of the wound, almost dyeing the calf red, and what was even more serious was that Lu Hai felt stupid for a moment when he was blown up, and the roar of the shells at such a close distance naturally made Lu Hai's brain buzz and his eyes went straight to Venus.
"How's it going?" Lu Hai picked up the gun and said.
"Most of the troops have been lost, and several key points have been broken through by the Japanese army, and we can't stop it!" Zhao Weiguo said with a crying voice.
"Tell the brothers to retreat and fight with them in the streets, try to delay the Japanese army as much as possible, and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
As he spoke, Lu Hai suddenly pulled out the shrapnel on his foot, took out a strip of cloth, tied it up, and said, "Help me up!" (To be continued.) )
