Chapter 320: The City Wall Is Lost, Retreat to the City!
Soon, two more Japanese tanks were destroyed by Yang Jing one after another, and the old face of Gana Zhixiong was suddenly distorted to the extreme.
At this time, his adjutant finally "hummed" and hurriedly ran back.
Gana Zhixiong immediately asked in a deep voice: "Yaga! Why did the field artillery of the Imperial Army delay in carrying out fire counterattacks against the field artillery of the Chinese Army? ”
The devil's adjutant slammed his head and said, "Report to Your Excellency the Wing Commander!" Due to the fact that the Chinese army set up artillery positions in the city, the imperial army observers could not accurately locate the location of the field artillery of the Chinese army, so they were unable to counter it with fire for the time being! ”
After a pause, the devil adjutant continued: "However, the field artillery of the imperial army has passed the ballistic trajectory and roughly deduced the gun position of the Chinese army!"
I believe that with the combat quality of the field artillery of the imperial army, it will not be long before this damn Chinese artillery can be eliminated! ”
"Yaga!"
Gana Zhixiong shouted hoarsely: "Order the 101st Wing of the Imperial Army's Field Infantry to continue to launch an onslaught, and strive to break through the defense of the city of China in the shortest possible time!"
In this battle, we can only win, not lose! ”
"Haya!"
The adjutant slammed his head, turned around again, and ran away with a "hum".
……
The picture pulls to the main battlefield of the East Gate.
The guard company of the Tiger Ben Regiment, also under the leadership of Niu Dazhuang, Bai Laosan and others, climbed the city wall one after another, and took the opportunity to fire at the attacking troops of the devils with all their might.
For a time, the entire east gate was completely shrouded in the sound of guns and cannons on both sides, and the dense rain of bullets kept shuttling back and forth between the enemy and us.
Large bullets hit the ground or the city walls, and suddenly a large cloud of smoke and dust was splashed.
There were also bullets that hit soldiers on both sides of the enemy.
As time went on, casualties on both sides skyrocketed.
Of course, since the little devils had no shelter and no cover in front of them, their casualties were far greater than those of the defenders.
The entire east gate of Huoqiu has become a huge meat grinder and slaughterhouse.
In less than a quarter of an hour, under the combined firepower of the defending infantry, the unconscionable artillery group, and Yang Jing, a super sharpshooter, the casualties of the devil's attacking troops have exceeded one-third.
In front of the entire East Gate position, there were dead corpses, stumps and broken arms of devils, and wounded soldiers who were constantly struggling and wailing.
At this moment, the second and third rounds of artillery fire from the devils also came one after another.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
The shells fell one after another, and the entire unconscionable position was instantly blown into a sea of fire.
Some of these shells even fell into the city and landed beside Yang Jing.
Some of the fragments set off by the explosion flew past Yang Jing's ears, but Yang Jing turned a blind eye to it, and didn't even move his eyelids.
He continued to pick up the microphone and roared, asking Ma Tong to provide the coordinate parameters, and fired high-explosive stray bullets one after another.
"Tuanza! Lock the target, lock the target! Distance:773......"
At this moment, the voice on the other side of the microphone suddenly stopped.
"Ma Tong! Ma Tong! ”
Yang Jing roared into the microphone twice, but still did not respond, his face was extremely gloomy.
Because he knew very well what this meant, either Ma Tong had been buried under the devil's fire, or the telephone line had been blown up by the devil's shell.
But either way, it means that the plan to shell the devil tank is coming to an end.
Yang Jing looked up at the city wall position in front of him, and in the huge firelight that kept rising from the ground, he could clearly see that a cannon barrel with no conscience, that is, a gasoline barrel, was blown into countless fragments and flew everywhere above the city.
Among them, the bodies of some of the defender soldiers were also blown away.
Yang Jing knew in his heart that this batch of artillery was ironclad!
But war is so cruel, such a reality, there is never only taking advantage of it and not suffering losses!
Although the 4th Company of the artillery battalion was retaliated by the devil's artillery fire, most of them were killed and wounded!
But in the previous rounds of shelling, they also killed at least more than 1,000 little devils.
The devil's attacking troops paid an extremely heavy price.
"Tuanza!"
"Tuanza!"
"Here we are!"
And at this moment, a large wave of artillery suddenly rushed from the city.
Yang Jing turned his head and saw that Liu Sancang, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion, was leading more than 100 artillery pieces and carrying more than 20 unconscionable cannons, along the streets full of broken bricks and tiles, rushing towards this side.
"You're just in time!"
Yang Jing was immediately overjoyed and immediately ordered them to deploy positions nearby.
At this time, the vanguard of the devils was less than 200 meters away from the city wall, so even if the artillery position was set up in the city, it was easy to shoot shells into the crowd of devils.
As soon as all this was deployed, an officer with a face covered in black ash suddenly rushed down from the city wall.
The officer held a telephone in his left hand and a set of artillery mirrors in his right.
"Tuanza!"
Yang Jing had just filled the primer and was about to stuff the explosive bag into the barrel, when he heard this familiar voice, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
looked up violently and saw that the person who came was Ma Tong, and he was overjoyed.
At this time, Ma Tong suddenly lowered his head and said, "Tuanzao, the telephone line has been blown up, so I can't provide you with the coordinate parameters." ”
Yang Jing smiled, grinned, and showed two rows of white teeth on his dirty face: "It's good to come back!" Hurry up and manipulate Lao Tzu's conscienceless cannon and continue to fight devils! ”
As he spoke, Yang Jing pointed his finger in front of him and said, "Huh! This is it! ”
"Yes!"
Ma Tong straightened up, suddenly agreed, put down the phone and artillery mirror in his hand, and skillfully manipulated it.
Yang Jing, on the other hand, was holding a loaded MG-42 general-purpose machine gun and ran towards a gap in the city wall, intending to personally observe the battle outside the city.
As soon as Yang Jing climbed the gap in the city wall, he saw a large wave of devil soldiers a hundred meters away, rushing towards this side.
Yang Jing didn't think about it, so he set up the machine gun and pulled the trigger violently.
"Tubu!"
"Bump Bump! ——”
The deafening sound of gunfire rang out violently, and the machine gun swung with Yang Jing's arm, and suddenly shot out a fan-shaped rain of bullets, pouring out like a hurricane forward.
The little devils who were charging in front were suddenly pierced through their bodies by the rain of bullets, and the bullets shot through their chests, and a bewitching blood arrow came out of their backs, leaving huge bullet holes in their bodies.
The horrific gunshot wound devoured their lives in an instant, so much so that these little devils didn't even have time to scream before they collapsed to the ground one after another.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
At the same time, more than 20 15-kilogram packs of TNT explosives also swayed and fell one after another in the crowd of devils, exploding violently.
Set off huge mushroom clouds on the ground and swallow the surrounding devils together.
In addition, the defenders on the city wall also opened fire again, pouring a dense rain of bullets forward.
……
The fierce fighting continued for another 10 minutes.
Under the full resistance of Yang Jing and the defenders, the devil attack force, which had suffered heavy casualties, was finally exhausted and was forced to stop the attack and retreat like a tide.
Yang Jing saw that the devil's attack was repulsed, and immediately carried the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun with empty bullets and retreated from the gap in the city wall.
He also ordered Liu Sanpao to remove the few remaining unconscionable cannons on the city wall and transfer them together with the unconscionable cannons in the city, so as not to be retaliated by Japanese artillery.
After Liu Sanpao left with the artillerymen, Yu Zongping and the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment also retreated from the city wall.
"Brother Yang, are you okay?" Yu Zongping was very worried about Yang Jing, after all, a large part of the devil's bombardment just now was aimed at Yang Jing. The culprit who killed more than 10 devil tanks in a row came.
So as soon as we met, I was very concerned about the inquiry.
Yang Jing waved his hand to signal them to rest assured: "Brother, I'm fine, are there any casualties among the troops?" ”
"Fortunately, there is a conscientious artillery group, and your precise strikes, which have killed many devil tanks, and scared other devil tanks to not dare to advance!" Yu Zongping said: "Therefore, our casualties are not too big, and there are almost 800 people now!" ”
Saying that, Yu Zongping couldn't help grinning, and once again showed an undisguised smug smile: "This battle is very enjoyable, our two divisions have killed at least 2,000 little devils with less than 500 casualties, and also knocked out more than 10 devil tanks."
If it weren't for the other devil tanks running fast, I guess you would have to give it all the pot!
In particular, those rounds of salvos of conscienceless cannons are even more devastating!
The power of that thing is so powerful that every dynamite bag that falls is a huge explode!
The little devil was blown up and cried his father and called his mother, and there was nowhere to hide! ”
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, and instructed them: "Brother, it's good that the casualties are not big, you must closely monitor the movements of the devils and prepare for air defense and artillery."
The devils could strike again at any moment, or retaliate against us!
So, don't be careless! ”
As he spoke, Yang Jing turned his head to look at Ma Tong on the side, and instructed: "You go to the West Gate to have a look, first, to see how the battle situation is there, and second, to see how Battalion Commander Zhao and they dug the tunnel!" ”
"Yes!" Ma Tong straightened up and immediately took the order to leave.
And Yang Jing also left the east gate and returned to the joint command.
At this time, the battles at the South Gate, the West Gate, and the North Gate were still going on.
At the same time that Yang Jing returned to the joint headquarters, outside the east gate, the Japanese army that had just retreated made a comeback again.
After all, the Japanese army has an absolute superiority in troops, and the 2,000 troops lost just now are nothing to them.
Even with the casualties of the previous attacks, the total losses of the Japanese army have exceeded 8,000 people.
But for the devil coalition army, which has three divisions and more than 80,000 troops, it is still not to the point of breaking its muscles and bones, and its vitality is greatly damaged.
The strength of the devil's divisions and regiments is still there, plus the immortal battle feat of wanting to take revenge on shame and win the entire Tiger Annihilation Regiment. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to stop there.
Instead, they should give full play to their absolute superiority in strength and firepower.
Several field companies under the jurisdiction of various divisions and regiments constantly took turns to go into battle.
At the same time, after replenishing fuel and ammunition at Hefei Airport, the devil's fighter plane also went back again and flew over Huoqiu County.
Cooperate with the Japanese army on the ground to launch an air attack on the defenders of Huoqiu.
The planes of the devils were constantly circling in the sky and dive-strafing and bombing, which caused great trouble to the artillery, causing them to be unable to concentrate their forces and support the battle of the four guns.
The unconscionable guns were also attacked by the combined fire of Japanese artillery, tanks, and aerial fire, and suffered heavy losses.
Without fire support, the defenders of each gate can only rely on the weapons in their hands to fight against a steady stream of devils.
The devils have the advantage of ground-to-air firepower, and they have tanks and armored vehicles as cover.
In addition, after several successive defeats, the Japanese army also learned well, and no longer waited for the end of the air bombing to launch an attack.
Instead, under the cover of aviation, the offensive was decisively launched.
In this way, when the defenders block the Japanese attacking troops on the city wall, they will be exposed to the fighters of the little devils and become their live targets.
In order to avoid greater casualties, Yang Jing had to order all his troops to retreat into the city, relying on the terrain in the city, using some houses and buildings that had not completely collapsed, building flank firepower, and engaging in street battles with devils.
At the same time, Yang Jing temporarily dispatched a group of sharpshooters from various battalions to seize the commanding heights in the city and build sniper positions.
At this time, the two sides are fighting for troops, equipment, ammunition, and combat experience.
Therefore, Yang Jing and the others should make full use of the terrain and the existing equipment in their hands to give full play to the overall strength of the Tiger Regiment and the Independent Regiment, relying on the streets and alleys of the county town to resist the attacks of the devils step by step.
Fortunately, after a bloody battle outside the city, the defenders also caused a lot of casualties to the devils.
Combined with the previous losses in the first line of gorges, the Japanese army lost more than 15,000 troops before it could enter the city of Huoqiu.
Of course, the losses of the Tiger Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army were not small, especially the Independent Regiment, because the weapons and equipment, as well as the quality of the soldiers, were far inferior to the Tiger Regiment.
Therefore, in the face of the Japanese attack, it is particularly difficult, and the casualties will inevitably be much greater.
Fortunately, as the defenders retreated into the city, the sky gradually darkened.
The annoyed little devil may not stop the attack here, leaving the defenders a little respite.
However, once it gets dark, the superior firepower of the devil's planes, tanks, and artillery will not be able to give full play, and the overall combat strength will be greatly reduced.
With their familiarity with the terrain in the city and their rich experience in street fighting, the Tiger Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army were relatively much easier to block the Japanese attack at night.
At this time, Ma Tong also crawled out of the tunnel, and returned to the headquarters with an excited face under the devil's artillery fire, and saluted Yang Jing and reported: "Tuanzuo, the tunnel should have been dug outside the city!" ”
After taking a puff of his cigarette, Yang Jing looked up and asked, "Oh? How did you know for sure? ”
Ma Tong said: "During the excavation process, the brothers of the baggage battalion heard the vibration of the devil tank crushing the ground and the roar of the engine! ”
"It should have been dug out of the city, and for safety, dig three miles further.
Let the brothers speed up and strive to dig tunnels before dawn, so that the brothers trapped in the city can open up this escape route for their lives! ”
After a pause, Yang Jing then instructed: "In addition, tell the defenders of each gate to strengthen the defense of the West Gate, and never let the little devils find out that we are digging tunnels!"
If necessary, you can give up a few other doors and defend the West Gate area with all your might! ”
"Yes!"
Ma Tong's legs "snapped" together, and after saluting, he immediately took the order and left.
