Chapter 314: Trapped in the Lonely City, the Tiger Ben Regiment's Huge Crisis!
Yang Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Eh! What are you talking about, brother? Even if any friendly force is in distress, I, Yang Jing, will do my best to rescue when I learn of the situation!
What's more, if it weren't for the fact that my brother led the independent regiment to rescue thousands of miles away, my tiger group would have been wiped out by the little devils outside Fuyang City. ”
After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "Besides, you and I join hands to fight the enemy, and it may not be impossible to defeat the little devil!" ”
Zhou Zichen, deputy head of the Independent Regiment, was relatively optimistic and said: "Commander, since Commander Yang has come, now I have said this."
The little devils may attack at any time, so let's hurry up and welcome Captain Yang and them into the city. ”
"That's right! Look at my brain! Yu Zongping raised his hand and patted his head, and said, "Brother Yang, quickly lead your troops into the city with me!" ”
"Brother please!"
"Brother Yang, please first!"
After humbling each other, Yang Jing and Yu Zongping entered the city from the west gate hand in hand.
The rest of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment followed closely and rushed in one after another.
After entering the city, Yang Jing and Yu Zongping immediately organized a military meeting of two regiments and officers above the battalion level.
Yang Jing first listened to Yu Zongping's explanation and had a general understanding of the defense of Huoqiu County.
Now, the field fortifications outside the city have all fallen into the hands of the little devils, and the independent regiment and the tiger regiment can only rely on the fortifications of the city to resist the attack of the Japanese army.
After Yu Zongping finished speaking, he asked: "Brother Yang, this is the situation, now you can make arrangements."
No matter what you ask you to do, my independent group will definitely cooperate! ”
"Since you have said so, brother, then I will tell me my opinion, if there are deficiencies, brother can add them at any time!"
At the moment, Yang Jing was not polite and said: "The little devil not only has troops far superior to us, but also has planes and heavy artillery.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to rely on the fortifications of the city to resist their attack, so we must be prepared to let the little devils enter the city and fight with them in the streets.
If necessary, you will even have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them! ”
The crowd nodded their heads frequently.
Yang Jing said again: "If nothing else, the little devil will attack early tomorrow morning."
Therefore, we need to prepare early.
First of all, dig as many anti-aircraft fortifications as possible in the city.
These anti-aircraft fortifications should be excavated as much as possible in civilian buildings.
First, we can use these buildings to resist a wave of Japanese bombardment, and secondly, we can rely on the buildings in the city to build flank firepower! ”
Saying that, Yang Jing explained in detail the construction of flank firepower and the essence of street fighting.
Yu Zongping, Zhou Zichen, and Ye Yun and others all showed shocked expressions after hearing this.
It turns out that the war can still be fought like this?
It's no wonder that the Tiger Ben Regiment was able to fight and win successively, killing the little devils in fear.
"Of course, Huoqiu County is too small after all, and we have no reinforcements; Therefore, even if you are fully prepared, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the siege of three or four divisions and tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
It was only a matter of time before the county town fell!
Therefore, we must also divide a force to dig a tunnel that leads to the outside of the city day and night!
So that if the war does not go well, we can quietly retreat from the tunnel and jump out of the encirclement of the devils! ”
Everyone has no opinion.
Immediately, thousands of fighters of the Independent Regiment and the Tiger Regiment immediately threw themselves into the work of digging air defense fortifications.
The Tiger Ben Regiment Baggage Battalion was transferred out and was specifically responsible for digging tunnels leading to the outside of the city.
Before coming, Yang Jing was ready to dig a tunnel to break through from Huoqiu County and escape.
If it weren't for the fact that time and space did not allow, he even planned to dig a tunnel directly from outside the city that led to the inside of the city.
Therefore, before coming, Yang Jing also deliberately took out the generator, punching machine, steel rail, and rail trolley that killed the little devil.
The generator is paired with a punch machine, which can greatly speed up the excavation of tunnels.
Rail trolleys can transport excavated earth and stones from the tunnels in a steady stream.
……
The picture pulls to a first-line gorge.
After dark, the 3rd and 4th battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment followed Yang Jing's order and headed towards Huoqiu overnight.
Later, according to Yang Jing's instructions, he lurked in a mountain forest 20 miles west of Huoqiu County.
In order to cover for Yang Jing and them to break out of the city at a critical moment.
On the other side, after reconnoitring that Yang Jing led his troops to leave the first-line gorge and support Huoqiu.
The two old devils, Masaki Ito and Junrokuro Matsuura, had already preempted the 3rd and 4th battalions of the Tiger Regiment, and in the afternoon of the same day, they led the main forces of the 101st and 106th Divisions of the Japanese army in the direction of Huoqiu.
Only a small force was left behind, and the 3rd and 4th battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment remained in the first-line gorge.
At that time, the focus of both the enemy and us was already on Huoqiu.
Therefore, since the afternoon of the same day, there has not been much more fighting in the first line of gorges.
1 a.m.
Masaki Ito and Junrokuro Matsuura led the leading troops to successfully arrive outside the city of Huoqiu and joined forces with the 6th Division.
……
Joint Command of the Japanese Army.
When Ito Masaki learned that Yang Jing had led the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment into Huoqiu County, a sinister smile like a fox suddenly appeared on his face.
The commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, said a little impatiently: "As long as Yang Jing is killed and the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment in Huoqiu City is eliminated, the remaining remnants of the Tiger Ben Regiment are not to worry about!"
In that case, why don't we go on the offensive now? ”
Ito Masaki said: "It's getting late today, since Yang Jing has already led the Tiger Ben Regiment into Huoqiu County, we don't have to rush at this time!"
When the blockade is detoured first, the blockade position is consolidated, and the enemy is not given the slightest chance to break through.
Wait until tomorrow at dawn before launching the attack! ”
Matsuura Junrokuro obviously felt that Ito Masaki was too cautious, so he said with some doubts: "Ito-kun, according to reliable intelligence, our strength is at least 10 times that of the Chinese army in the city, why don't we strike while the iron is hot, capture Huoqiu County in one go, and annihilate the Tiger Ben Regiment and the Huoqiu Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army in this small land."
On the contrary, it is necessary to go to great lengths to dig a blockade ditch and build a blockade position? ”
Ito Masaki said: "Now, the Tiger Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army have been besieged in this corner of Huoqiu County, and it is impossible to escape. So, we didn't rush it at all! ”
Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, added: "What Ito-kun said is good! In this battle, our army is already sure to win!
But we must not only win, but also achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost!
Use the elimination of the Tiger Ben Regiment and Yang Jing's head to reorganize the military prestige of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”
Junrokuro Matsuura was absolutely convinced that the analysis of Masaki Ito and Shiro Inaba was very reasonable, so he said no more.
As a result, tens of thousands of troops of the 101st, 6th, and 106th divisions of the Japanese army immediately redivided the defense area and imposed a tighter blockade on Huoqiu County.
Don't give the Tiger Ben Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army in the city a chance to break through and escape.
……
The next day, it was just getting light.
The sun was slowly rising from the distant eastern horizon, and before the first rays of sunlight could sprinkle over the land, the Japanese army began a major attack.
This time the Japanese army had an absolute superiority in strength, so all four directions were the main attack, and there was no feint!
The first to attack was the 6th Division of the Japanese Army outside the south gate, and with the order of the division commander Shiro Inaba, about 500 devil soldiers immediately held rifles, under the cover of the intensive fire of their own heavy machine guns, opened an offensive formation, and rushed towards the east gate.
At that time, the 1st Battalion of the Tiger Regiment was guarding the east gate.
After discovering the enemy's situation, the guard post immediately ran down the city tower along the road to the city and came to the battalion command post more than 300 meters away from the city tower, and made an urgent report to the battalion commander Bi Yuntao.
After Bi Yuntao learned the news, he immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, went out with the guards, and ran towards the top of the city tower.
After climbing the city tower, Bi Yuntao raised the binoculars and observed carefully for a while, and found that there were not many little devils who charged over, so he judged: "Don't panic!" This is a tentative attack force of the Japanese army, ordering the 1st Company not to act rashly, and after letting the enemy approach the city wall, it can be greeted with grenades, light machine guns, submachine guns and other light weapons! ”
"Yes!" The guard next to him suddenly agreed, and even conveyed Bi Yuntao's order.
In order to alleviate the pressure on the shoulders of each battalion commander, Yang Jing used his past performance as an assessment, and promoted a deputy battalion commander to each battalion from the company commanders below.
Lu Fang was originally the company commander of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, and since the Battle of Baoshan, he has been a squad leader under Bi Yuntao.
Because of its combat courage and tactical command ability, it is a rare and manufacturable material.
It was noticed by Yang Jing a long time ago, and as Bi Yuntao improved all the way, Lu Fang also followed suit, and now he has been promoted to the deputy commander of the 1st Battalion.
At this time, Lu Fang observed the movements of the devil with a telescope with Bi Yuntao, and couldn't help but complain: "Battalion commander, why is this little devil still an old tactic!" First the infantry rushed, and then the artillery bombarded! After the artillery bombardment, the infantry rushed! ”
Bi Yuntao sneered: "Although the tactics of the little devils look dull, they are still tried and tested against opponents who are poorly equipped than them, have no air supremacy, and have no superior artillery fire!"
This is also the real reason why the little devil has been able to defeat other friendly units again and again!
It's a pity that they met my Tiger Ben group today! will be doomed to pay the price of blood for their stupidity! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Little devil, this is not remembering to eat. Lu Fang smiled, raised the binoculars and observed for a while, and said to Bi Yuntao: "Battalion commander, the little devil is about to attack!" ”
"Don't worry, the 1st company commander is also a veteran who followed us from the Songhu battlefield, the little devil's battle has been seen many times, if you don't know how to deal with it, then he, the company commander, won't do it!
Although the 10,000-year-old tactics of the little devil have been tried and tested many times on our Chinese battlefield, as long as reasonable tactics are used to counteract.
Even if we don't have far more firepower and equipment than theirs, we can still make them hit their heads and break their blood!
Just as Tuanza said, at any time, the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war is never weapons and equipment, but rational tactical use and strategic command! Bi Yuntao calmed down, took out a cigarette, and lit it by himself, looking very calm.
When it was less than 500 meters away from the city wall, the devil machine gun team was looking for a suitable position on the spot, setting up machine guns, and providing fire cover for the attacking troops.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da! ——”
In a short time, a Type 92 heavy machine gun emitted a continuous crisp sound.
Dense bullets rained down like raindrops.
Some bullets hit the already somewhat weathered city wall, and suddenly splashed smoke and dust, and continued to fall down.
Instead, some bullets carried the sound of "whoosh" breaking wind, and swept over the heads of the soldiers of the 1st battalion and 1st company of the Tiger Ben Regiment above the city wall.
However, the more than 300 fighters of the 1st Battalion turned a blind eye to this, turned a deaf ear, and did not even blink an eyelid.
The more than 500 devil infantry, under the cover of machine-gun fire, increased their speed one after another, changed their speed to running, and rushed forward.
On the city wall, the commander of the 1st company observed the movement of the devil's attacking troops through the arrow stacks, and ordered the more than 300 soldiers of the 1st company around him: "Don't be nervous, wait until these little devils are close before fighting!" ”
The devil captain who led the charge saw that the open city gate was close in front of him, but there was not a single defender in sight on the city wall, so he immediately waved the command knife in his hand forward, and urged hoarsely with his neck: "Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!" Speed up the forward rush! ”
"Kill the chicken!"
"Kill the chicken and give it! ——”
More than 500 devil soldiers immediately accelerated their forward speed again.
The commander of the 1st Company held his breath and took these little devils to rush to less than 100 meters away from the city, he opened his throat and shouted: "Brothers, fight, give Lao Tzu a hard beating!" ”
During the shouting, the commander of the 1st company even picked up an MG-42 general-purpose machine gun full of bullets, put it on the arrow stack in front of him, and pulled it violently.
"Tubu!"
"Tubu! ——”
The general-purpose machine gun suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the bullet casings continued to bounce out of the pop-up window like abandoned garbage, casting a dense rain of bullets and pouring towards the city.
"Puff puff! ——”
The dense rain of bullets immediately pulled up clouds of smoke and dust on the ground, and several little devils who were charging forward were caught off guard and were immediately hit by several bullets.
The MG-42 general-purpose machine gun was extremely powerful, and after hitting these little devils, the high-speed rotating bullets directly penetrated their bodies, penetrating their backs, leaving shocking huge bullet holes on their bodies, and devouring all their vitality in an instant.
So much so that these little devils didn't even have time to scream, and they all fell to the ground without moving.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and more than 300 soldiers of the 1st Company immediately followed with full firepower, firing rows of dense bullets, intertwined with each other under the city, forming a huge net of death fire.
"Ahh
"Ahhhh ~~~”
Before the advancing devil soldiers could react, they fell down screaming.
