Chapter 265: The Situation Deteriorates, and the New Fourth Army Comes to Help!
In the rear, the positions of the Japanese field heavy artillery wing.
100 meters in the air, above the sounding balloon.
Ryosuke Yoshika saw that his attacking troops had rushed into the forward position of the Tiger Regiment, and handed over with the defenders of the Tiger Regiment, and he couldn't help but have a sinister smile like a chrysanthemum on his face: "Yo Xi! The Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army is almost unbearable! ”
Gu Shoufu next to him also laughed and said: "Although the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army is strong, their white-edged stabbing is definitely not the opponent of our Great Japanese Imperial Army, not to mention that we have an absolute advantage in strength in this battle!"
This time, we will definitely be able to complete the battle and completely annihilate the Tiger Regiment in order to defend the majesty of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”
"Hmm!"
Ryosuke Yoshika nodded approvingly.
……
At the same time, Fanqiao Township, Huoqiu County.
A large number of armed men dressed in earth-gray military uniforms were carrying fishing boats, rafts, and other means of crossing the river to the south bank of the Huai River.
It seems that he is preparing to cross the river and go north.
The vast majority of them still wore the clothes of ordinary people, and there was no uniform military uniform. The weapons on the back are also varied, made in Hanyang, old sleeves, and even spears and broadswords.
This group of armed men was none other than the First Division of the New Fourth Army, which was led by the Communist Party.
They came from the mountainous area at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain, and their number was Huoqiu County Independent Regiment, with more than 1,200 troops.
Because he received an order from the organization, he came from the base area overnight.
At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed as a village woman carried Lou Kuang on her back and walked over, accompanied by two young officers with shell guns at their waists.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, this is Comrade Xu Ying, the liaison officer sent by the organization to wait for us here."
One of them, a rather burly young officer, introduced the two middle-aged officers.
These two officers, among whom are quite dark-skinned, are Yu Zongping, the head of the independent regiment.
Born in the old Red Army in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, he was ordered to lead a small group of soldiers to cover the transfer of wounded soldiers and civilians in the base area.
In the end, he stayed in the area of Dabie Mountain and insisted on fighting guerrillas, and has persisted until now, and with the development and growth of the station, the guerrilla force has been expanded into an independent regiment.
The officer next to him who wore glasses and had a bit of a literati temperament was a political commissar sent by the organization, named Ye Yun.
The two young officers who had just walked were two company commanders under Yu Zongping, and they were ordered to pick up the liaison officers.
Hearing this, Yu Zongping and Ye Yun immediately stepped forward, shook hands with Xu Ying and said, "Comrade Liaison, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!" ”
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Commander Yu, Political Commissar Ye, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
After shaking hands, Yu Zongping went straight to the point and said: "By the way, Comrade Liaison, the organization asked us to come over and prepare to cross the river to the north, I don't know what task was assigned to us?" ”
Xu Ying said: "That's the case, according to the comrades of the Fuyang underground organization, in order to cover the evacuation of the people of Fuyang City, the head of the Tiger Ben Regiment Yang voluntarily led his troops to stay behind, and now he is surrounded by the Japanese army in Fuyang City on all sides, and the situation is extremely unoptimistic.
Commander Yang is leading the army to fight hard and persist.
Considering that Head Yang is for me all China. The importance of the military and the people, organizationally, ordered our Huoshan County Independent Regiment to quickly march in the direction of Fuyang.
Attack the Japanese army from the flank, in order to ensure that Commander Yang can successfully lead his troops to break out of the encirclement and get out of danger! ”
After listening to this, Yu Zongping asked, "Captain Yang of the Tiger Ben Regiment?" Is it the Tiger Ben Regiment that killed the little devils in the Songhu Battlefield, the Jinling Battlefield, and the Taierzhuang Battlefield successively? ”
Xu Ying smiled and asked without answering: "In addition to this tiger group, do we have a second tiger group in China?" ”
Yu Zongping received an affirmative reply, and immediately looked excited, and said with great joy, "It's really good, I can finally go to the front line to kill devils!"
I have long heard of the name of Yang Jing Yang Commander, and he and other countries. The party reactionaries are different, he is the real backbone of the nation, the god of war against Japan, dedicated to the country and the people, and a well-deserved hero of the country, worthy of admiration!
This time, even if we do our best, we must respond to Captain Yang and they successfully break through! ”
Xu Ying said: "Well, since that's the case, then let's hurry up and cross the river to the north!" ”
"Good!" Yu Zongming nodded happily, and immediately turned around and waved his hand to the soldiers of the more than 1,200 independent regiments behind him: "Comrades, there is a new task, set off immediately and cross the river!" ”
…………
The picture pulls back to the outside of Fuyang City.
The quality of the individual soldiers of the Tiger Regiment was far inferior to that of the Japanese army, and the strength of the regiment was also at an absolute disadvantage.
Therefore, as soon as the battle began, there was a situation of imminent rout.
At the critical moment, Chen Lin finally took the 3rd battalion with a complete formation, divided the troops into two routes, and rushed out of the city to rush to reinforcements.
With the arrival of this new force, the soldiers of the three battalions fought side by side, fighting for their lives, and finally blocked the attack of the devils.
However, as the Japanese army continued to increase its strength.
More and more devils joined this white-knuckle battle, and the Tiger Ben Regiment, which had already suffered heavy losses, gradually fell into disadvantage.
Many warriors, as soon as they killed the devil soldiers in front of them, were swarmed by more devil soldiers and stabbed to death.
From time to time, a shocking explosion sounded on the battlefield, which was the last counterattack of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment before they died, pulling the grenade on their bodies and choosing to die with the Japanese army.
Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, and Chen Lin and several other major officers have already led the battalion directly under the team to go into battle in person, and they are all killed in blood-soaked robes, exhausted.
But it still can't resist the strong offensive of the Japanese army!
Seeing that the position was about to be lost, in desperation, Bi Yuntao and they had to send someone to ask the regiment headquarters for help.
The urgency of the forward position had long been expected by Yang Jing, so he had already made arrangements in advance, transferred the cavalry company and reconnaissance company back, and guarded the west gate and the north gate with guns from the baggage battalion.
The artillery battalion immediately used the remaining field artillery to bombard the front of its own position to prevent the Japanese from continuing to increase their troops!
Then, Yang Jing personally led the guard company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, and Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade directly under the regiment, and thousands of elite soldiers rushed to reinforcements!
At this time, there is absolutely no way to retreat.
Even if you want to retreat, you have to wait until after the devil is repulsed!
Otherwise, if you retreat now, the devil infantry will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and rush into the city.
At that time, once the city falls into the hands of the devils, if you want to break out again, there will be no chance!
Under Yang Jing's arrangement, the special operations brigade and the three companies directly under it immediately divided into two routes and rushed to the east gate and the south gate respectively for reinforcements.
Yang Jing led the guard company and special operations brigade to reinforce the east gate, while Wang Dali and Tian Cheng led the reconnaissance company and cavalry company to reinforce the south gate.
These more than 1,000 people, almost all of them are veterans of a hundred battles, especially the more than 100 members of the special operations team, who are the elite of the elite.
Their bayonet fighting skills have been tempered for a long time, and they are far stronger than ordinary devil soldiers, and at the same time, they have prepared all melee artifact submachine guns!
Yang Jing took the lead, taking the lead, first shooting a shuttle bullet in a point shot, and killing at least 20 devil soldiers.
He immediately pulled out the killing knife behind his back and rushed into the pile of devils. With a murder knife in his hand, Yang Jing rushed left and right all the way, invincible, killing the little devil to the ground, and the corpses were everywhere.
Everywhere he went, there was hardly a devil who was his enemy!
This greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield, making them burst out with unprecedented high fighting spirit and fighting spirit!
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
The fighters of the artillery battalion took advantage of this opportunity and opened fire one after another.
Dozens of shells smashed down, instantly blasting the area at the front of the Tiger Regiment's position into a sea of fire.
Countless ghost soldiers who rushed to reinforce were shrouded in it, with countless casualties at one time, screaming and falling to a large area.
Japanese field heavy artillery position, 100 meters altitude, above the sounding balloon.
Ryosuke Yoshika saw this scene, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He slammed his fist on the fence of the hanging basket in front of him, and snorted coldly: "Baga! Damn it! These damn Chinese troops!
Later, if I let the Imperial Japanese army rush into the city, I must break them into pieces to reveal the hatred in my heart! ”
His chief of staff, Nakagawa Guang, comforted: "Your Excellency the division commander does not need to be angry, now the Tiger Ben Regiment is already at the end of its strong crossbow, and this is just the last struggle before dying!"
Even if the rest of the imperial army could not rush over to reinforce it, the imperial troops that rushed into the position of the Chinese army alone would be enough to defeat it! ”
"Hmm!"
Ryosuke Yoshika nodded approvingly, and his gloomy face finally eased a little.
Gu Shoufu on the side said: "Even so, we can't let these damn Zhina troops have a good time!"
I propose to immediately launch an artillery countermeasure against the artillery of the Chinese army! ”
"Yo Si! What Gu Shoujun said is very true! ”
Ryosuke Yoshika nodded, readily agreed to Tani's proposal, and then immediately made arrangements for the heralds on the side.
"Hello!"
The devil herald received instructions and immediately raised flags and gave orders to the field artillery wing on the ground.
"Tom!"
"Tom tom! ——”
After receiving the order, the Devil's Field Heavy Artillery immediately launched an artillery counterattack against the artillery of the Tiger Regiment located in the city through the trajectory of the shells.
Looking at the clusters of skyrocketing flames, constantly rising from the ground in the city, Ryosuke Yoshika's face once again bloomed with a chrysanthemum-like smile.
It's just that what this old devil doesn't know is that because the distance between us and the enemy is too far, it is difficult to locate the specific location of the Huben regimental artillery battalion based on the trajectory of the shells alone.
Therefore, although the power of those heavy howitzers is fierce, the damage caused to the artillery battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment is negligible.
……
The picture pulls back to the frontal battlefield.
Due to the fire of the artillery battalion, the devil reinforcements could not come to reinforce.
After a bloody battle for two hours, the Tiger Regiment, after paying a huge price in casualties, finally won the white-knuckle battle.
After repelling the devils of the 9th and 6th Divisions, Yang Jing stopped the subordinates who were ready to pursue.
Then all units were ordered to immediately abandon their field positions outside the city, and the whole division retreated to the city.
"Stop the pursuit, release the smoke bombs, and retreat into the city!"
In the rear of the Japanese army, above the sounding balloon.
Ryosuke Yoshika saw that an attack full of confidence ended in failure again, especially in the white-knuckle battle that the Imperial Army was most proud of.
But the old devil's face turned blue with anger, and he couldn't help but scold: "Baga! Damn, what a bunch of useless rice buckets!
Order the artillery group, immediately fire on me and blow up those damned China! ”
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
Not long after, the devil's field heavy artillery wing, as well as the artillery wings directly under the two divisions and regiments, began to fire with all their might.
The area where the enemy and us had just fought was suddenly blown into a sea of fire.
The incessant sound of huge explosions seemed to tear the whole day apart.
It's a pity that the various units of the Tiger Ben Regiment have already quietly retreated into the city under the cover of a smoke bomb.
Therefore, although the Japanese artillery fire was fierce, it did not cause any casualties to the Tiger Regiment at all.
It just left one huge crater after another in the ground.
When the devil in charge of reconnaissance reported the situation, Ryosuke Jijia's face was red and white, and it was extremely exciting.
Although, both the base camp and the front army headquarters gave him an order to annihilate the Tiger Regiment at all costs.
But artillery shells, a strategic weapon, are not wasted in this way.
If this spreads, he Yoshika Ryosuke will definitely become the target of ridicule from other devil officers, especially the devil navy, which is not against their army.
…………
Inside the city, the headquarters of the Tiger Regiment.
After making simple arrangements for defense, Yang Jing gathered several battalion commanders and the company commanders of his direct subordinate companies together to discuss the next battle plan.
Yang Jing's sharp gaze looked around, and he looked at everyone with a heavy face. "Judging from the scale of the Japanese army's artillery fire, the devil has at least one wing of heavy artillery units!
These heavy artillery, the threat to our army, is almost fatal!
Fortunately, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese army launched one more attack at most.
As long as we hold on until dark, we can wait for the opportunity to break through! ”
Wang Dali already knew that Yang Jing was going to break through, so he echoed: "Well, what Tuanzuo said is good. For two days and two nights, those wounded soldiers and brothers and the people of Fuyang City must have been moved to a safe position.
We can really break through tonight! ”
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Yang Jing began to assign tasks to them.
The 3rd Battalion was the main force and was responsible for defending the city.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions, due to heavy casualties, retreated to the second line as a reserve for the 3rd Battalion.
The baggage battalion was responsible for packing supplies and taking away everything that could be taken away, especially the more than 100 unconscionable cannons.
It's lightweight, easy to carry, and incredibly powerful, so it can make a huge difference in critical moments.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, it is still not easy to put the devil into the city and build flank fire to engage in street battles with it.
Because in that case, mixing with the devils, although it can effectively prevent the devils' air raids and shelling, it is not so easy to break through under the noses of the devils.
…………
PS!
In the last 4 days, the situation is not optimistic, so I implore the benefactors who still have monthly passes to help quickly!
The third child has made a mess for you!
