Hochou West Gate.

Major General Tokutaro, the commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, slowly put down the phone in his hand and shouted to the herald on the side: "Order the 13th Infantry Wing, close the gap immediately, and never let a single person escape from the city!" ”

"Hello!"

The herald paused and ran away.

After receiving the order, the devils of the 13th Infantry Wing immediately closed the gap and launched a fierce attack on the independent regiment that broke through the city.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

In the west of the city, which was as silent as death in the last second, there was a loud gunfire in an instant.

With the eruption of gunfire, the dense bullets suddenly rained towards the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were charging onward.

"Ahh

"Ahhh ~~~”

Suddenly, more than 20 soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

"Stop moving! Defend, counterattack! ”

The rest of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, under the orders of the commander, immediately dispersed around, looked for suitable cover nearby, set up their guns and began to counterattack.

For a time, more intense gunfire erupted in the combat zone, and several violent explosions broke out from time to time.

On both sides of the enemy, people were constantly shot and fell to the ground.

However, both in terms of strength and firepower, the Japanese army had an absolute advantage.

After a short battle, the Independence Turquoise breakout force suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw into the city.

The Japanese did not pursue, and when they retreated, they re-separated.

……

The picture is pulled to the city, and the regimental department is independently mapped.

Yu Zongping had already received the news that the breakthrough troops had been ambushed by the Japanese army and suffered extremely heavy losses, and his expression on the cigarette suddenly became a little distorted.

Political Commissar Ye Yundao: "Old Yu, the little devil deliberately let go of a gap, is it trying to lure us to break through, so as to launch an ambush against us?" ”

Yu Zongping took a puff of cigarette and said: "The combat effectiveness of the little devil, you have already seen it during the day, if it is to deal with my independent regiment, why bother so much?"

What's more, until now, the Japanese army has not dispatched aviation. ”

Ye Yun was puzzled: "Then what do these little devils want?" Is it to deal with the Tiger Bentuan? ”

"I don't rule it out." Yu Zongping said with a solemn face: "According to the intelligence from the underground party, the reason why the Japanese 6th Division turned to Huoqiu was because they were unable to open up the situation in the battle between the first-line gorge and the Huben regiment. ”

Ye Yun frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the Tiger Ben Regiment came to reinforce us?" Isn't it just the plot of the little devil? ”

Yu Zongping said: "Let's act first." ”

As he spoke, Yu Zongping turned his head to look at the communication soldier who was sitting in the corner manipulating the radio station, and shouted: "Communication soldier! ”

"Yes!"

The communications soldier straightened up, quickly took off the headphones on his head, and turned his head to look for prestige.

"Immediately inform the Tiger Regiment of the current situation, inform the Tiger Regiment in the form of a telegram, and instruct Commander Yang to give priority to the preservation of the Tiger Regiment, and if necessary, abandon our independent regiment and leave the battlefield on its own!

Because the significance of the existence of the Tiger Ben Regiment is far greater than that of our Huoqiu Independent Regiment! ”

As he spoke, Yu Zongping gave a brief explanation of the current situation to the communications soldiers.

"Yes!"

After the signal soldier wrote them down one by one, he quickly put on the headset and immediately quickly operated it on the transmitter.

……

The picture is pulled to the outside of the city, the temporary headquarters of the Tiger Regiment.

Through the reconnaissance of the sharpshooter company, Yang Jing found that after the battle was over, the breakthrough troops of the independent regiment retreated into the city, and then separated the gap, and his face immediately became solemn.

The 1st battalion commander Bi Yuntao was a little surprised and said: "Tuanzao, what the hell is the little devil doing?"

Is it to lure the independent regiment to break through and then set up an ambush to annihilate it? ”

"No!" Yang Jing shook his head and said, "If the little devil is just to deal with the independent regiment, there is no need to go to such great lengths!"

So, I guess, maybe from the beginning, this is a game set up by the little devils, a game set up to annihilate my tiger group! ”

At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly took a translated telegram, hurriedly came to Yang Jing, stood up and saluted and reported: "Tuanza, the independent regiment is calling!" ”

Yang Jing took the message, glanced at it briefly, and said, "It seems that Regiment Commander Yu is also aware of this. ”

1 Battalion Commander Bi Yuntao said: "Why did the little devil become so smart? They're all going to use intrigues. ”

Yang Jing said with a serious expression: "Don't underestimate the IQ of the little devils, before this, the reason why they didn't use too many tricks is because their weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, are enough to crush my China. Army.

But now that they encounter our Tiger Regiment, they can't use weapons and equipment to win with the combat effectiveness of their soldiers, so they can only resort to intrigues. ”

Bi Yuntao said again: "Tuanza, since we have seen through the tricks of the little devils, then we are now immediately far away, is it equivalent to letting their tricks be defeated?" ”

"Don't forget why we're here, if we stay away, the little devil will pour out all his anger on the Independents.

At that time, the independent regiment will inevitably be wiped out! ”

Yang Jing's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, instantly extinguishing Bi Yuntao's enthusiasm: "Tuanzao, then what should we do now?" ”

Yang Jing said resolutely: "Such a scene, have I experienced less in the Tiger Bentuan?" Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, I will also go! ”

Bi Yuntao's blood boiled when he heard this, and he asked: "Tuanzao, what do you need to do, you can give your life!" ”

Yang Jing said: "Sharpshooter Company, continue to monitor the movements of the little devil!" As soon as the 2nd Battalion, the Baggage Battalion and the artillery arrived, we immediately launched an attack on the little devils, combined with the inside and outside, opened a gap, and rescued the independent regiment from the city! ”

"Yes!"

……

An hour later.

The 2nd Battalion of the Tiger Regiment, the Baggage Battalion and the Artillery Battalion arrived one after another.

Yang Jing made a simple arrangement, and then led his troops to attack the Japanese army in the west of the city.

At the same time, Yu Zongping in the city also led his troops to kill from the West Gate.

Suddenly, there were loud gunshots in the entire west of the city, and from time to time there were several earth-shattering loud noises.

The sky-high flames that rose from the ground illuminated half of the sky, and they could be seen from afar.

Headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

The division commander Shiro Inaba walked out of the command tent, looked up at the combat zone between the enemy and us, and sneered with disdain: "I said that you can only enter, not out!"

Yang Jing, if you want to rescue the Chinese army in the city, that is wishful thinking! ”

……

The picture pulls to the west gate of Huoqiu County.

As soon as Yu Zongping led his troops out of the city, he was strongly blocked by the Japanese army.

The two armies immediately engaged in a heavy exchange of fire outside the city.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

The dense rain of bullets, carrying the sound of "whoosh" breaking the wind, shuttled back and forth between the enemy and us.

The ground was splashed with dirt and smoke.

People on both sides were constantly being hit, killed or wounded, and the pungent smell of blood immediately dispersed in the surrounding air.

Due to the favorable terrain seized by the Japanese army in advance, coupled with weapons and equipment, as well as soldier strength and marksmanship, they were far superior to the independent regiment.

Half an hour after a fierce battle.

The independent regiment finally retreated into the city as a last resort due to heavy casualties.

On the outer battlefield, the attack of the Tiger Ben Regiment was also slow to open up the situation, but found that as the battle continued, the little devil's troops gathered more and more.

After learning that the Independent Regiment had retreated into the city, Yang Jing also called off the attack.

What made them even more puzzling was that the little devil did not take the opportunity to follow the independent regiment into the city at that time, and did not even pursue them.

This made Yang Jing uncertain for a while, and he didn't dare to make other decisions rashly.

……

Half an hour later, the monkey in charge of reconnoitring the enemy's situation hurriedly came to Yang Jing and stood up and saluted: "Tuanza, after we suspended the attack, the Japanese army separated the gap again. ”

Yang Jing suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said, "Could it be that these little devils want to let us into the city?" ”

Bi Yuntao said: "Tuanzao, hearing you say this, it seems that there is really such a possibility." ”

Yang Jing said: "Whether it's or not, we'll know if we try!" ”

Bi Yuntao was surprised: "Tuanzao, are you planning to lead the army into the city?" ”

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Rake Ear, Ma Tong and others all said in unison: "Tuanzao, no!" ”

"The little devils of the 6th Division have already surrounded Huoqiu County on all sides, and since the little devils have turned to attack Huoqiu, it is a bureau set up for my independent regiment, then the 101st and 106th divisions must also be on the way.

At that time, it will be easy for us to enter the city, but it will be difficult to break through again! ”

Yang Jing said in a deep voice: "I said, even if Huoqiu County is a tiger's den in Longtan, I will go there!"

So there's no need to discuss this matter anymore! ”

Seeing that Yang Jing had made up his mind, the 1st battalion commander Bi Yuntao took the lead in speaking: "Tuanzao, since you are determined to enter the city and join the independent regiment, then let the subordinate lead the troops." ”

Yang Jing said: "Okay! I will lead my troops to cover you on the periphery, and at the same time ask the independent regiments in the city to pretend to break through from the other gates to relieve your pressure! ”

……

10 minutes later.

Everything is ready to go.

Yu Zongping ordered the independent regiment to divide into three routes, pretending to break through from the eastern, southern, and northern three gates.

And Bi Yuntao led his troops from the gap in the west gate and rushed to the city.

However, something unexpected happened.

As soon as the independent regiment broke out of the city, it was strongly blocked by the Japanese army.

On the other hand, Bi Yuntao easily passed through the Japanese army's defense area and came to the West Gate City.

Its smoothness made Bi Yuntao's brain obviously insufficient, as if in the clouds and fog, and he couldn't react for a long time.

Even in order to cause unnecessary conflicts, the Japanese troops in the west of the city deliberately withdrew from both sides for a distance.

Temporary headquarters of the Tiger Regiment.

After Yang Jing learned the news, he whispered: "It seems that my guess is right, the little devil really plans to put us in the city and reunite and annihilate us!" ”

2 Battalion Commander Fan Tietou said: "Tuanzuo, since this is the case, what should we do now?" Do you want to continue into the city? ”

Yang Jing said: "Since the little devil wants us to enter the city, then we will fulfill him!" ”

"Yes!"

Although everyone was a little unsure of Yang Jing's proposal, they thought that he never did things that he was not sure of, and he never made a loss-making transaction.

Yes, not a single person raised an objection.

Immediately, Yang Jing made arrangements again, and let the battalions go to the city in turn from the gap released by the little devils.

……

Ximen, a devil Osa hurriedly came to the headquarters of the 11th Infantry Brigade and reported to the brigade commander Tokutaro Shisai: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army has entered the city again.

Are we going to attack right away? ”

Tokutaro played with the teacup in his hand and said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency the division commander's order is that you can only enter and not go out, have you forgotten?" ”

The devil Dazuo said: "However, it is the baggage troops of the Chinese army that have entered the city this time. ”

"Baggage troops?" Tokutaro Shikai turned to the teacup in his hand and said, "Isn't it better that the baggage troops of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army have entered the city?"

In this way, even if he Yang Jing wants to run, he can't run! ”

"Hello!"

The devil Dazuo paused heavily, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Half an hour later, this devil Osa came to the brigade headquarters again and reported to Tokutaro Shikai: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, the artillery unit of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army is also about to enter the city, and it seems that they still have a lot of heavy howitzers in their hands, do you want to attack them immediately?" ”

"Oh? The Chinese army also brought their heavy artillery? Tokutaro's eyes lit up at first, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly returned to normal, and said, "Let them go into the city!" ”

The devil Dazuo was surprised: "But...... If the heavy artillery units of the Shina Army are allowed to enter the city, once the battle is engaged, it will inevitably bring immeasurable casualties to our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

Tokutaro frowned and said, "Our plan is to annihilate the Tiger Regiment, not just defeat it!"

If you rashly launch an attack now, let the remnants of the other Tiger Ben regiments that have not entered the city escape, there will inevitably be endless troubles!

And a few heavy artillery, even if it is powerful, how many casualties can it bring to the Imperial Japanese Army?

Don't forget, even His Majesty the Emperor himself once said that as long as all the Tiger Regiments of the Chinese Army are annihilated, even if the price is great, it will be worth it!

What's more, after dawn tomorrow, the Imperial Army Aviation will be able to take off from Hefei and provide us with tactical guidance!

At that time, the heavy artillery of the Shina Army will only be a live target for the aviation of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

"Hello!"

The devil Dazuo paused heavily, spun around and strode away again.

……

With the deliberate cooperation of the little devils, the heavy battalion, artillery battalion, 2nd battalion, and guard company of the Tiger Regiment all entered Huoqiu County from the west gate smoothly without danger.

The sharpshooter company and cavalry company were left outside the city to continue to reconnoiter the enemy.

Outside the West City Gate.

Yu Zongping, the head of the independent regiment, personally went out of the city to greet him, and looked at the people of the Tiger Regiment who came overnight under the Japanese artillery fire, and his heart was both moved and ashamed.

After Yang Jing saw Yu Zongping and his party coming to him, he immediately strode up to greet him: "Commander Yu, long time no see!" ”

Yu Zongping said with a look of shame: "Head Yang, you shouldn't have come!" This Huoqiu county is a dead land, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out!

If my independent regiment is gone, it will be gone, but I can't do without your tiger group in China!

If there is an accident in your Tiger Regiment because of the rescue of my Independent Regiment, then I, Yu Zongping, will become a sinner in China.

Even if you die, you can't escape the blame! ”

As he spoke, Yu Zongping sighed again and continued: "Hey! It's also to blame that I didn't listen to your advice and didn't lead my troops to evacuate from Huoqiu County in time.

Otherwise, why would my independent regiment fall into such a dangerous situation, and it would not have affected you, Commander Yang! ”

……

PS！

Gentlemen, I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
