Chapter 366: Rage!
The battle in Guangling Dongcheng fell into a fierce battle from the beginning, especially for Li Yunlong and others who suddenly attacked Guangling, time was victory. It was necessary to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Japanese army in the city did not come to their senses and take the eastern city as soon as possible.
As long as they attacked the city, it would not be a problem for the new regiment of soldiers, who already had a lot of experience in street fighting, to deal with the Japanese defenders of Torotaro Nara.
At this time, there was a fierce battle in Dongcheng, and more than three Japanese troops in the command post of Yuhei Takashima, the leader of the Japanese garrison squadron in Dongcheng, relied on the city wall and stood for help.
However, Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombarded the Japanese fortifications at the head of the city very accurately, especially when the Japanese army was attacked in a hurry, at least seventy or eighty people were killed by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire at the first time. In the ensuing siege battle, the soldiers of the first battalion of the new regiment, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, quickly hit the vicinity of the Dongcheng city wall with Jiejia's tactical literacy and superior weapons.
"Sir, I can't stand it! I really can't stand it! The Eighth Route Army has reached the city gates, and our men have seen their demomen! There are so many casualties that I can't stand it! Withdraw! In the smoke of artillery fire, the embarrassed Takashima Yuhei's confidant adjutant Kurata Naoya rushed to Takashima Yuhei bitterly, squatted down to dodge the artillery bullets and smiled bitterly.
At this time, the old devil Takashima Yuhei could no longer continue to evade command in the city gate building in the east city, because the city gate tower was already the key target of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and the danger was too great.
Takashima Yuhei could only hide behind a battlement with some of his guards to stealthily command the battle, but the shouting and killing outside the city changed, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were getting closer and closer were killed in front of him, and the old devil also saw the current situation in the fierce battle.
"Baga Ya Road! Could this be the main force of the new regiment? Such a strong combat effectiveness is only available to the main force of the Eighth Route Army! Damn, big trouble! Takashima Yuhei clenched his fists hatefully and said angrily, if the main force of the new regiment is dispatched, with the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in Guangling, it is indeed a hard battle that does not dare to face the main force of the new regiment!
Otherwise, how could Yoshio Shinozuka face such a small regimental unit as the new regiment, and he couldn't eat Li Yunlong's new regiment until now. Later, after being ambushed and killed in Xianyuan Palace, he was furious and secretly dispatched the main forces of several wings of the Itagaki Division to the south to participate in the plan to besiege Hengshan.
It is conceivable that Yuhei Takashima, who already knew the achievements of the new regiment, immediately realized that the enemy troops that suddenly attacked Guangling were likely to be the new regiment, and his heart suddenly became frightened. After all, the record of the new regiment and the number of Japanese troops killed cannot be concealed within the regular army of devils.
Yuhei Takashima's confidant adjutant Naoya Kurata said urgently, "Sir, we can't stand it!" Now our second squadron has suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than 150 men left to defend the head of Dongcheng and its gates! Once the gates are lost, we will not be able to stop the enemy's fierce onslaught! It is better to withdraw from the city and retreat into the city to fight street battles. Wait for reinforcements to arrive and defeat the enemy forces entering the city in one fell swoop! ”。
"Bagaya Road, Your Excellency Shaozuo ordered, those who retreat will be shot on the spot! Order the rest of the squad to stand by for reinforcements. Reinforcements are also estimated to be coming! Keep going, and hope! Kurata, you personally take a few people and rush to the city gate to supervise the battle and defend it! Yuhei Takashima waved his hand, commanding without question.
Kurata Naoya could only smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, but he still responded helplessly on his face and said, "Hayi, sir!" Humble duty understands! Then braved the artillery fire and led a few Japanese soldiers down the city wall to the city gate to supervise the battle.
At this time, the besieging side, in accordance with Zhang Dabiao's order, Sun Dehai, the commander of a battalion and a company, directly led dozens of soldiers in person. With the help of his own artillery cover, he quickly rushed to the gate of the eastern city.
"Up! Heavy, cover! Demoman, get on! ”
Sun Dehai waved his hand, and several soldiers risked their lives to take the bundled explosives bags and rushed to the city gate to put them away.
As one of the fighters pulled the fuse of the explosives pack, the fuse quickly burst into flames.
"Withdraw! Take cover! Sun Dehai saw that the fuse of the explosive bag had burned, and immediately ordered the soldiers around him to find a place to hide.
"Boom !!!"
In less than ten seconds, a huge explosion exploded at the East City Gate. The huge city gate was blasted and completely shattered.
At the head of the city, Yuhei Takashima, who commanded the counterattack and was waiting for reinforcements, trembled at his feet. Soon a Japanese soldier rushed to report that the city gate had been blasted by a new group, and that enemy soldiers had already entered the city.
The old devil Takashima Yuhei was terrified, and rushed to the direction of the city to look down, only to see many new soldiers killed at the city gate.
The Japanese defenders were crushed, and some soldiers were already frightened and scattered.
"Bagaya Road, retreat, quickly retreat to the streets of the city to block layer by layer, fight street battles, hurry up!" Takashima Yuhei hurriedly ordered the defenders of the castle to retreat. The gates of the city have been lost, and it is no longer possible to continue to defend the city.
At this time, the other Japanese defenders in the city had not yet arrived, and the city gate had been lost, and Takashima Yuhei knew that it was no longer pointless to continue to defend the castle.
The Japanese soldiers who received the order secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered the remnants of the Japanese army in Dongcheng to withdraw from the city and retreat to the city.
Outside the city, Li Yunlong, who was climbing to watch the battle, saw that the east gate was blown open, and Zhang Dabiao's troops who were charging had already entered the city, and he was also secretly relieved.
"Okay, Zhang Dabiao, this kid did a good job. Ordered Zhang Dabiao to speed up the attack, and to be desperate and give me a hard beating. Be sure to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese defenders in the city have not yet come to their senses and attack the devil headquarters directly. It's still the same old thing, knock out the Japanese command center in the city! Li Yunlong immediately ordered.
In the city attack and defense battle, as long as the command of the enemy army defending the city can be eliminated, the victory is basically in the middle of the process.
"Yes, Captain!" A herald standing beside Li Yunlong immediately stood up and saluted, and then rushed away to give Zhang Dabiao the order.
Zhang Dabiao, who received the order, directly led the command post of the first battalion into the city with the army and arrived at the front line to command. Li Yunlong continued to order the rest of the cavalry under Sun Desheng who was besieging the city, and cooperated with other besieging infantry to block the small Japanese troops who went out of the city to counterattack and reinforce the Japanese defenders in Dongcheng outside the city.
The loss of the eastern gate and its fortifications soon reached the ears of Torotaro Nara, who was at the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in the city.
"Nani? The defense of the eastern city wall has been lost? What about Yuhei Takashima? Baga Ya Road, waste! How long did it take, less than seven minutes, to lose the fortifications? Nara Torataro of the Japanese army headquarters in Guangling City learned that the East City Gate had been breached, and the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army had entered the East City District, his face was gloomy, and then he said angrily.
