Ryosuke Tsuya smiled miserably in his heart, it was impossible to break through at this time. The opponent has already begun to attack outside the East City, and once it breaks through the East City Gate, it will inevitably run into the ambush troops outside the East City.

It is better to concentrate forces on street fighting in Dongcheng District, delay time, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"The opportunity to break through has been lost, and at this time, the breakthrough can only be reduced to the ambush trap of the Eighth Route Army outside Dongcheng! I intend to hold the core position within 500 meters of the Taiping Tower, and wait for help! ”

Ryosuke Gaused for a moment, and then ordered to the chief of staff of the division, Tsuki Bujia Gui Dazuo, "Immediately speed up the imperial troops in Gushan, Huairen, and Wangguanrentun again to return to Datong." ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders!"

The embankment is not covered by the noble Dazuo, and what Ryosuke Tsuya said is actually right. At this time, the opportunity to break through has been lost, in fact, the key is that at this time, there are less than 800 troops in your own hands. Braving the dark night and the cold wind and climatic conditions, this little force hastily withdrew from Datong City, which was simply self-defeating.

In addition, Datong City is an important place for the Japanese army to occupy the northern part of Shanxi, and its strategic location is very important. Once Datong City is lost, he will not be able to escape the blame.

Combined with various reasons, for the reason why Ryosuke Takuya once again vetoed the breakout proposal, Tsutsumi Bujia Gui Dazuo also quickly thought of seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart.

With the order of Ryosuke Tsuya, the Japanese army began to shrink the main forces in Dongcheng District, and deployed in the area of five or six hundred meters radius of Taipinglou, the commanding height of Dongcheng District, as a key defense, rushing to repair fortifications, and looking like they were stubbornly waiting for reinforcements.

And because the heavy artillery position of the Japanese defenders in Datong was destroyed by Duan Peng, Zhang Dabiao's command post immediately took advantage of the situation to attack along Heyang Street to the commanding heights of Taipinglou, a small city tower on the main road in Dongcheng District. The Japanese army under Kotaro Takeda has been chasing the rout of the Japanese army to attack and advance in the direction of the Taiping Tower, and the Japanese rout of the fight is embarrassed.

On the other hand, more than 300 soldiers who feinted outside the Dongcheng city of Datong, under the command of the commander of the third company of the fourth battalion, took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's heart seemed to be shaken, and the small city of Dongcheng outside the Dongcheng Pass stormed the small city of Dongcheng. Then, as the Japanese army was guarding the city wall of the east city, the Japanese army was seriously insufficient, and the army took advantage of the situation to blow up the east city gate, and then killed into the city.

The Japanese troops who were retreating one after another, in accordance with the order of Ryosuke Tsuya, withdrew to the vicinity of the Taipinglou in Dongcheng District to wait for reinforcements. Relying on the complex terrain of Dongcheng District, relying on the commanding heights of Taiping Tower and the surrounding buildings, residences, etc., several defensive positions are constructed.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already descended from the city gate building on the west city gate, drove directly to the city with the army headquarters, and rushed to Zhang Dabiao's temporary headquarters.

Zhang Dabiao waved his division and attacked fiercely, and soon joined He Yongjie's department and other troops directly under the regiment to encircle the remnants of the Japanese army under the Gulian Institute near Taipinglou.

"Commander, why are you here? It's dangerous here! Seeing Li Yunlong enter the headquarters, Zhang Dabiao said hurriedly.

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Damn, the labor and management are Li Yunlong, who has experienced a hundred battles, would he be afraid of the danger on the battlefield?" Besides, you're not in command here! The choice of place is good, at least even if the devil's shell hits here, the roof above will withstand it, don't worry! By the way, Da Biao, how is the situation now? ”。

"Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao floated a little, walked to the window of the house where the headquarters was located with Li Yunlong, and pointed in the direction of the Taiping Tower opposite, "At present, we have attacked the Taipinglou street between Dongcheng District and the East City Gate, and our first battalion has joined forces with Lao He's fourth battalion to encircle the remnants of the Japanese army near the Taipinglou. The little devil can't run away, according to the confessions we got from the interrogation of a few devil soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, Taipinglou is the temporary headquarters of Ryosuke Tsuya. It was originally the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 8th Brigade of the 40th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and after Ryosuke Tsuya withdrew from his division headquarters, he installed the headquarters on the Taiping Tower! ”。

"Good! Damn, it looks like the little devil is going to be determined to wait for help! Beat the water dogs, and immediately cooperate with the four battalions to attack the Taipinglou! As long as the Taiping Tower is captured and the commanders of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army such as Ryosuke Tatani are killed, the recovery of Datong will be a certainty. We don't have much time, the latest independent regiment and the 28th regiment have come to them to send urgent telegrams, and the Japanese troops galloping from the direction of Huairen, Daiyue, Yanggao, Tianzhen, and Wangguanrentun to reinforce the Japanese troops have begun to break through the blockade of the brother troops. Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao stood up and said, "Understood, regiment leader!" ”。

"Okay, without further ado, give me an attack right away! Capture the tower within 20 minutes. I want to see Ryosuke Takaya's head! ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said, as long as he kills Ryosuke Tsuya, the morale of the remaining remnants of the Japanese army will collapse, and recovering Datong is not an unattainable dream.

I saw that Zhang Dabiao immediately commanded the first battalion, cooperated with the fourth battalion He Yongjie's headquarters that had already returned to his position, and half of the reserves allocated by Li Yunlong, to encircle and storm the remnants of the Japanese army in Taipinglou.

All of a sudden, the sound of gunfire rang out around the Taiping Tower.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, as always, took the lead in firing a cannonball of revenge and death when the infantry soldiers attacked, and then roared and smashed into the devil's blocking position.

As the cannonball explodes, the flames and shell fragments unfold together, overturning everything that is hit. Among them, the Japanese soldiers were cats, and under the counterattack of artillery fire without points, they could only struggle to dodge Wang Chengzhu's shelling.

Amidst the shouts of killing and the sound of artillery, the remnants of the Japanese army also tried their best to counterattack, but at this time, there were only less than 800 troops in the hands of Ryosuke Tsuya, and in addition to defending the outer defensive positions, the troops were attacked by Li Yunlong's concentrated forces on all battlefields, and the Japanese army was exhausted from the left and right.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the defensive positions on the periphery of the core position cannot withstand it. The first squadron leader Kotaro Takeda was completely wiped out, and Kotaro Takeda was killed in battle, and more than a dozen officers below the rank of Kotaro Takeda were all killed in battle. Li Yunlong's troops had already stormed the street less than 300 meters from the Taiping Tower. There are fierce attacks by the Eighth Route Army on the north, south, and east sides, and it is less than 250 meters away from the core position of our Taipinglou! ”

On the Taiping Tower, in the temporary Japanese military headquarters, Ryosuke Tsuya heard a Japanese staff officer rushing to report on the latest and worst battle situation.

When Ryosuke Gu heard this, he smashed his fist on the table, and he was very shocked, is Li Yunlong's new regiment of troops as strong as this?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Zhina Army has formed a complete encirclement posture against our Taipinglou, and we are afraid that we will not be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive!" After a wry smile, he said to Ryosuke Takuya, his tone was very pessimistic.
