"Don't give up! We, the emperors, are not afraid of dying in battle, and for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, we must hold the position of the Taiping Tower and wait for help. Ryosuke Tanya waved his hand lightly and said, his tone was very calm.

Although more than a dozen high-ranking Japanese officers in the temporary headquarters knew that it was a reassuring word from Ryosuke Shitani, Li Yunlong's troops had already taken advantage of the situation to storm and were not far from the headquarters. Whether they can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, all the devils can't be calm in their hearts.

Di Bujia Gui Dazuo said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency the division commander, we are now less than 800 troops, and we are afraid that we will still be unable to defend the core position of hundreds of meters around the commanding heights of the Taiping Tower." Humble and bloody advice, break through! As long as we break through, our 10th Division will still have a chance to exist. Now the flag of our division is on the Taiping Tower, once we can't do anything, our 10th division is disabled! Your Excellency, Division Commander! ”。

"Now is the time, Di Bujun, you send someone to be ready at any time, once it is the last moment, burn the military flag! Send a telegram to reinforcements and ask them to speed up. Baga, the three places are close to Datong, even if you climb, you can climb over! ”

The latest reinforcements sent a report to inform them that the reinforcements encountered layers of resistance from the Eighth Route Army on the way, especially the railway line in the area south of Datong, and many sections were destroyed. The train could not carry reinforcements to the north, and Itagaki Seishiro's troops received the news of the attack on Datong, although they also quickly withdrew north to return to Datong. However, the destruction of the railway made it difficult for the more than 6,000 Japanese troops under the 21st Brigade of Seishiro Itagaki to go north to Datong in a short time.

Now Ryosuke is angry that the reinforcements are too slow, and in fact, he has wronged the reinforcements.

It's just that he won't say it, so as not to refute the face of the division commander.

At this time, suddenly the sound of gunfire outside gradually intensified, and a whistling shell exploded outside the Taiping Tower. The loud noise was mixed with the wails and screams of the Japanese soldiers.

Soon, some Japanese soldiers rushed up to the third floor of the Taiping Tower, and hurriedly ran in front of Ryosuke Suke, who paused and said, "Your Excellency, division commander, the outer defensive position has been lost. The Chinese army drove directly from Heyang Street with nearly 700 people, and the peripheral troops blocking the street could not withstand it, and had retreated to the core position of Taipinglou, asking the division commander for tactical guidance! ”。

Hearing this, not only Ryosuke Tsutani, but also all the Japanese staff officers and officers in the command looked at each other, and soon their faces were quite frightened.

The opponent's attack was very fast, and it almost didn't give the remnants of the Japanese army Datong time to rest and take refuge.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

Ryosuke Yasuke scolded angrily, but the matter is irreparable now, and he can only defend it desperately.

"Order the second line of defense to hold on, take out all light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers, and be sure to withstand the fierce attack of the enemy!"

The Japanese soldier paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

Waiting for the Japanese soldiers to rush away, Ryosuke Yasuke turned his head to the chief of staff of the division and regiment on the side, and ordered "Chief of Staff, the situation is extremely critical, you pull out the guards around me and all the staff officers and miscellaneous personnel except for the unnecessary stay at the headquarters, form a reserve, supervise the battle for me, and go up for reinforcements at any time!" Please, Chief of Staff. ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander!" Tsutsumi Bu Jia Gui knew what Ryosuke Tsuya meant, nodded with a heavy face, and then left.

On the other hand, Ryosuke Suke called the Japanese signal soldiers at the headquarters to send a telegram to the Japanese garrisons closest to Datong in Huairen and Wangguanrentun to urge reinforcements, informing them that the situation was extremely critical.

The devil's signal soldiers hurriedly responded, and urgently sent another telegram urging the reinforcements of the Japanese army to speed up, but as for whether they could reach Datong under the resistance of the Eighth Route Army troops that were harassing on the road, they could only rely on the blessing of heaven.

At this time, the troops commanded by Li Yunlong, who had launched a fierce attack on the area around the Taiping Tower, had gradually surrounded the remnants of the Japanese army commanded by Ryosuke Tsuya.

"Bang Bang Bang !!" Bullets continued to pour out towards the Japanese soldiers, and the red-hot bullets collided with each other, sending out strings of sparks in the dark night.

"Boom, boom, boom!!" Several mortar shells, accurately in the dark night, roared and smashed into the Japanese blocking position, blowing up several of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, and the fire points there were completely blown into a primitive state.

The machine gun was blown to pieces, and the stumps and severed arms mixed with the Japanese machine gunners were overturned into the sky.

Amidst the shouts of killing, the total number of Japanese troops in the second line of defense of the core position of the Taiping Tower was more than 500 people, and the streets on the east and west sides of the Taiping Tower were the focus of defense, and the soldiers of the new regiment who were attacking to the death started street battles.

In the hand-to-hand encounter, the Japanese soldiers held the 38-type rifles and the little devils with bayonets in their arms, and with hideous faces in the dark night, with the help of the fire caused by the explosion, they fought back in a somewhat suicidal way.

One by one, the Japanese soldiers and the soldiers of the new regiment started hand-to-hand combat on Heyang Street on the east and west sides of the Taiping Tower.

It's just that a small number of Japanese soldiers have killed the new group of soldiers who are attacking and advancing, but most of the little devils can't help but scold the enemy army on the opposite side for being too shameless.

I saw the Japanese soldiers fighting back with bayonets, trying to get close to the new regiment of soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. But according to Li Yunlong's concept of firepower output, those who can solve the battle with bullets should not sacrifice the lives of the soldiers.

Up to now, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the soldiers of the new regiment have been greatly improved. By capturing the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, as well as some submachine guns prepared by themselves, they formed a close-range rapid fire in the street battle.

Therefore, at this time, in the face of hand-to-hand combat in which the Japanese army counterattacked, the troops countered the Japanese counterattack with rapid firepower.

Bullets and shells continued to harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers, and the counterattacks of the little devils were in vain, and the soldiers were also lost, and the casualties were heavy.

"Sir, the second line of defense can't stand it, what should I do?" At a distance of less than 100 meters from the main position of Taipinglou, the second line of defense guarded by the remnants of the Japanese army on Heyang Street on the east and west sides could no longer be held.

Kotaro Kudo's throat was smoking, and he tried his best to encourage the Japanese troops to resist. However, all positions have been lost, and they are destined to be unable to withstand it.

"Yaga! Damn it! Li Yunlong's troops are too strong, order the remnants of the soldiers to retreat to the main position, you personally report to the division commander, you can't stand it! Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is requested to make preparations as soon as possible. Kotaro Kudo said with a wry smile.
