Chapter 103: The First Battle of the Tiger Regiment

The officer of the Devil's Reconnaissance Brigade was afraid of harming Chiyu, so he lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is not that General Sasaki made a mistake in deployment, but that the Chinese Army that came to help was well-equipped and had strong firepower.

The most important thing is that this cunning Chinese army is still wearing the uniform of the imperial army, which caused the alert troops to relax their vigilance, so they were taken by surprise.

Then it hit the frontal attacking forces of the Imperial Army, which led to a series of defeats in the rear of the Imperial Army. ”

Nakajima Imago had a gloomy face and continued to ask, "Have you figured out the specific number and strength of this branch army?" ”

The devil officer didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "Not yet, this branch of the army is too urgent, so we don't have any information on this for the time being." ”

"Yaga!" Nakajima scolded angrily, then turned his head to look at the chief of staff on the side, Mitsuo Nakazawa, and ordered: "Nakazawa-kun, you immediately instruct the intelligence department to find out the specific information of this branch army as quickly as possible!"

However, until then, the attack of the imperial army cannot be stopped!

Order Sasaki to one and continue to organize the attack! Taking advantage of the arrival of the reinforcements in China and the unstable foothold, they were directly defeated and annihilated, and the shame of the defeat of the Snow Emperor Army was defeated! ”

……

Half an hour later, Yang Jing had just finished dealing with the matter in hand when he received a call back from the Third War Zone Commander's Department.

At the same time, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Kunshan's urban defense, leading the Huben Regiment and the 67th Army to hold Kunshan for at least two days to gain enough time for the evacuation of the large army.

On the other side, the Japanese 16th Division also reorganized its forces and attacked again.

This time, the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade and Regiment, Sasaki Toichi, who had suffered a loss, also seconded the 22nd Field Artillery Wing and the Tank Brigade directly under the division headquarters for the sake of shame. With artillery wings and tank units, fierce artillery bombardment was launched on the eastern gate of Kunshan.

Suddenly, the entire city wall of the East Gate, and the residential area behind it were bombed into flames, and the sound of artillery rumbled.

Some of the already crumbling civilian buildings collapsed directly in the fierce artillery fire, turning into pieces of rubble.

Hearing the explosion, Yang Jing frowned suddenly, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, listened carefully for a while, and after determining that the explosion came from the direction of the east gate, he immediately ordered: "Chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, you two are in the command headquarters!"

Ma Tong, you immediately go to the artillery camp to pass on my order, and let the rake ear bring a few field guns over to fight together!

The rest of the guards and the rest of the guards will follow me to the east gate!" ”

Wang Dali, the deputy head of the regiment, said urgently: "Tuanzao, the devil is shelling the east gate, is it too risky for you to come to the front line in person."

Otherwise, let me go! ”

"If I don't go to the front line, how can I kill devils and explode better equipment? Besides, can I run to the most dangerous places? Who among you is better than me in cherishing life? ”

Thinking so in his heart, Yang Jing pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu is a man of destiny, and the bullets and shells that can kill me have not yet been created by the little devil!"

This is the first battle of my Tiger Regiment, and I must win the battle and play the majesty of my Tiger Regiment!

In addition, although the Japanese army is now mainly attacking the east gate, the other three directions should not be careless! ”

Among them, the north gate and the west gate were guarded by Wu Jingshan's 67th Army, so Wu Jingshan immediately spoke: "Don't worry, brother!" As long as there is still one person and one gun alive in my 67th Army, Hugh will tell the devil to step into the city gate half a step! ”

Yang Jing nodded heavily, and then turned around and left with Bai Laosan, Niu Dazhuang and others.

Wang Dali didn't know that Xiao Jiujiu in Yang Jing's heart was deeply impressed by his fearless spirit again, and reminded him of his back: "Pay attention to safety!" ”

……

Yang Jing led his troops to the vicinity of the East Gate, and the Japanese artillery bombardment had stopped.

After the first battalion commander Bi Yuntao learned of his arrival, he immediately brought the second battalion commander Fan Tietou to greet him: "Tuanzao, why are you here?" ”

Yang Jing asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation now?" ”

Bi Yuntao replied: "Report to the regiment, the forward observation post has just reported that the enemy has dispatched a large number of tanks and is covering a large number of infantry to advance towards the defense line of our city!" ”

"Oh?"

Yang Jing's face changed, and he immediately stepped forward quickly, and ran towards the collapsed and dilapidated east gate city wall through the road to the city.

Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and others were afraid that Yang Jing would lose, so they chased after him.

As soon as Yang Jing climbed the city wall, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

The dense Japanese army, under the coordinated cover of more than a dozen tanks and combat vehicles, swarmed towards Kunshan City like a wave.

There are at least more than 2,000 people.

The speed of the devil's advance was very fast, and in a short time, it advanced to a distance of 500 meters outside the city wall.

Yang Jing ordered Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou next to him: "Pass my order and fire immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou each returned to their own defense lines and led their troops to launch a brazen counterattack against the Japanese army.

Suddenly, gunfire rang out, and a dense rain of bullets poured towards the oncoming army of devils.

At such a distance, bullets can't break through the armor defenses of the Devil Tank, but they can kill the Devil Soldiers who advance together with the tank.

At the same time, the artillery platoons of the 1st and 2nd Battalions also opened fire one after another, firing one shell after another at the Japanese attacking troops.

This devil's attack force has a lot of combat experience, and when they were hit by the defenders' firepower, they did not panic, but under the orders of some grassroots officers, they shrank their troops one after another and moved closer to the tanks and combat vehicles next to them.

At the same time, decisive fire was fired back.

Dense bullets, 'whizzing' between the two armies. There are constantly people who are shot and killed, there are devils, and there are also soldiers of the Tiger Regiment.

And the real greatest threat to the defenders was undoubtedly the Japanese tank fighting vehicles.

Due to the rush of time, the battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment had almost just been reorganized, and they had not yet had time to repair the city fortifications that had been destroyed by the Japanese army before.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment were almost completely exposed to the Japanese tank guns, and almost every time the Japanese tanks hit, the defenders would be blown out, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while.

However, under the personal command of Yang Jing, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were fearless, putting life and death aside, staring at the firepower of the Japanese army, desperately firing back, and shooting revenge bullets at the Japanese army.
