Chapter 364: More than half of the battle was damaged
"Eight Grids, Damn!" Looking around, the shouts of killing were all over the sky, and the bullets were whizzing, which was very eye-catching, making Fujii Kamiya's face gloomy.
Seeing that Fujii Kamiya was silent, Yuichiro Yamazaki, who had no calm expression, continued: "Brigade commander, what should I do? Fight like this, sooner or later we will be surrounded and eaten by the independent brigade! ”。
"The back road has been cut off, and we have to break through to the north. Otherwise, he could only be driven down the Kouquan River by Li Yunlong and drowned! Fujii Kamiya cheered up, waved his fist and smashed it down, and said in a condensed voice.
Yuichiro Yamazaki said: "But the 21st Infantry Wing stormed Maojiasoo Town for more than ten minutes, and the casualties were as high as the strength of an infantry brigade. Now, the 21 Infantry Wing of them, only more than two thousand six hundred people remain! If it attacks like this, I'm afraid that the 21st Infantry Wing will be wiped out in less than half an hour after attacking Maojiasoo Town! ”。
Yuichiro Yamazaki didn't expect that the independent brigade in Maojiasoo Town seemed to be less than 3,000 defenders, but the degree of strong defense was very strong. Equipped with firepower, the trench fortifications actually dug a few roads along the periphery of Maojiasoo Town.
As a result, and at this time, it was night, and the devil soldiers of the attacking 21st Infantry Wing attacked the fortified Maojiasoo Town with their heads covered, and were cross-fired by the opponent with idle firepower, and the casualties were too great.
It was Fujii Kamiya who gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to the north, at this time his headquarters was less than three miles away from Maojiasoo Town. But the sound of fierce fighting and gunfire there was clearly audible and visible, and the shouts of killing were incessant.
Fujii Kamiya didn't expect that Li Yunlong was actually ready to ambush them, and it was really an ambush in this kind of terrain.
"At this point, there is no point in complaining. Order the 21st Infantry Wing to attack Maojiasoo Town with all its might! Transfer an infantry battalion of the 22nd Infantry Wing to the north to reinforce the 21st Infantry Wing's attack on Maojiasoo Town! Give Shi Hu Bowen an order to take Maojiasoo Town within half an hour. ”
When Yuichiro Yamazaki heard this, he knew that Fujii Kamiya was an increase, and after thinking about it, the old devil suggested: "Brigade commander, it's better to concentrate on it!" Increase the strength of the 2,000 reserves directly under the brigade to Shi Hu Bowen's command, then he will have more than 5,000 troops in his hands to besiege the defenders of the independent brigade in Maojiasoo Town! I don't believe it, so many people can't beat Maojiasoozhen. As long as Maojiasoo Town is broken, the main force of our 77th Brigade can break out of the encirclement and attack Datong. Looking at the current ambush strength of the Independent Brigade, Li Yunlong should have transferred most of his troops for this attack to set up an ambush here, and I believe that there will not be too many independent brigade troops in Datong City. ”。
"Yo Xi!"
When Fujii Kamiya heard this, he quickly calculated in his heart, instead of adding fuel to the tactics of half of the transfer of troops to Shihu Bowen to strengthen the attack on Maojiasoo Town, the effect may not be very great.
It is better to concentrate the reserves and part of the troops, and directly let Shihu Bowen take Maojiasoo Town with overwhelming superior forces. It is better to fight a protracted battle in the case of an ambush surrounded by an independent brigade on all sides, and it is bound to fall into disadvantage.
After all, Li Yunlong actually rushed to set up an ambush in this kind of terrain, so he should have been fully prepared.
Later, Fujii Kamiya decided to adopt Yuichiro Yamazaki's suggestion, "Just according to your wishes, Chief of Staff, immediately drop the 2,000 reserves directly under the brigade and the 22nd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Wing to Shi Hu Bowen's command, and tell Shi Hu Bowen that within half an hour, take Maojiasoo Town." Otherwise, Li Yunlong wouldn't have left us too much time. ”
"Understood, Brigade Commander! Deploy now! Yuichiro Yamazaki paused heavily, and then walked away.
............
Fujii Kamiya mobilized reserves and an infantry brigade to attack northward with all their might, reinforcing the headquarters of the 21st Infantry Wing that attacked Maojiasoo Town.
Supported by the reserve forces allocated by Fujii Kamiya, Shihu Hirofumi once again adjusted his offensive and used almost an infantry brigade and two squadrons as an offensive group, attacking from the east, west and south of Maojiasoo Town with all his might.
More than 5,000 Japanese troops stormed Maojiasoo Town, and more than 10 artillery guns continuously bombarded the fortifications defended by the Independent Brigade of Maojiasoo Town.
The blessing of the devil's troops increased, which immediately attracted the attention of Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third regiment who defended Maojiasoo Town.
Maojiasoap Town, Ma Wenhai's temporary headquarters!
The headquarters of the three regiments was seven stories high on the roof of a tall building in the town, enough to overlook the town and its periphery.
"Regiment commander, each battalion reports that the devil has increased his troops. In the east, west, and south directions, there were almost more than 1,500 Japanese troops attacking the positions defended by the battalions. The devil's artillery fire has also been strengthened, several defensive positions on the periphery have been lost, and the casualties of the various departments have begun to increase, and the departments have asked for support! ”
After Shihu Bowen stormed Maojiasoo Town and strengthened, the battalions under great pressure had to report the battle situation to Ma Wenhai urgently.
The chief of staff of the third regiment had no choice but to urgently report the latest battle situation to Ma Wenhai!
Ma Wenhai has already seen through the binoculars that the 21st Infantry Wing of the devils is supported by the devil's troops from the south and the north, and this is to take Maojiasoo Town at all costs!
"We didn't even leave a single soldier in Datong to defend the city, once Maojiasoo Town was broken by devils. The ambush will not be completed, you give orders to the battalions and hold their positions. I'll ask the brigade commander for support right away! Ma Wenhai quickly said to the chief of staff.
"Yes, Captain!" The chief of staff of the third regiment left in response.
Ma Wenhai, on the other hand, shook up the field phone on the spot and directly contacted the field command of the Independent Brigade in the rear of Maojiasoo Town.
"Report to the brigade commander, the little devil is crazy, there are at least 3,000 devils to reinforce the 21st Infantry Wing of the devil who attacked Maojiasoo Town, and now, there are more than 5,000 Japanese troops attacking Maojiasoo Town. The battalions of our three regiments fought bravely, but the casualties of the various units began to increase and they asked for reinforcements. Ma Wenhai reported solemnly on the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Li Yunlong immediately said when he heard this: "You hold the position for me, and I can't lose an inch of my position." I will immediately drop the reserve of 1,000 people to your command, and now, the first regiment in Biandian Village and the second regiment on the right side of the railway line are attacking in Xiaoyanfang Village, and they have attacked from east to west, annihilating many Japanese troops who are blocking the attack. In addition, I immediately order the artillery fire of the reserve to support you immediately! ”。
"Understood, please rest assured brigade commander, the third regiment will resolutely hold its position and hold Maojiasoo Town!" Ma Wenhai shouted in a condensed voice, and then quickly hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, the reserve strength of the last 1,000 independent brigades transferred from the north of Maojiasoo Town quickly came under the command of Ma Wenhai. Ma Wenhai quickly divided the troops into each battalion and commanded to block the fierce attack of the little devils.
The town of Maojiasoap suddenly fought fiercely, and artillery fire continued to bombard around the small town. The bright light of the explosion completely illuminated the entire Maojiasoo Town, and even the soldiers of the special operations battalion on the south bank of the Kouquan River saw it. One can imagine how fierce the battle was.
Twenty minutes later, the Japanese troops attacking Maojiasoo Town were stunned that they did not break through the defense of the three regiments and entered Maojiasoo Town.
And Fujii Kamiya, who was constantly getting a summary of battle damage, looked at Yuichiro Yamazaki in disbelief and roared, "Nani? How can it be? We've already lost half of our men? ”。
