Chapter 259: Storming the City

Ryota Tomita's words made Kentaro Sugihara frown and said, "Since Tomita-kun is so suspicious, then send a report." But at this point we rushed to send the report, and then we were sure that it was not. Isn't it smiling and generous? Let's find out the situation of the attacking enemy army first, and then report according to the situation! ”。

"Alright! Your Excellency! Hearing Kentaro Sugihara's response, Ryota Tomita could only nod and say.

At this time, the battle of the southern city wall of Xinkou had already entered a white-hot stage.

"Boom, boom!"

Wang Chengzhu concentrated five mortars and concentrated fire strikes on the south gate and the city heads on both sides to cover the attack of the besieging troops in the direction of the city gate.

At this time, the sky was rainy and sleet, and the ground was already slippery and muddy. But by this time the siege had already begun, and it was impossible to retreat.

Li Yunlong urgently ordered all his troops to storm the southern city gate, and Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment covered the attack of the infantry soldiers, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky above the southern city.

"Tutu, tusk, tusk!" The more than 30 soldiers of Duan Peng's special combat team at the front of the attack concentrated the fire of submachine guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese puppet soldiers at the head of the city, and the Japanese puppet soldiers at the head of the city were almost unable to raise their heads.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already arrived in the trench dug by the Japanese puppet army outside the city less than 50 meters from the south gate to avoid commanding the battle, and when he saw the development of the battle situation, he immediately ordered Zhang Dabiao to speed up the siege.

"Special mother, order Zhang Dabiao, give it to me, you must rush in! Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, extending the artillery bombardment, blocked the follow-up troops of the Japanese army on the head of the city! Above! Li Yunlong said loudly to a soldier beside him.

A soldier beside Li Yunlong replied deeply: "Yes, regiment commander!" After saying that, the cat ran forward with his waist on his back.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao got the order and personally gritted his teeth and sent a platoon of soldiers to the city gate to blast.

"Boom! Rumble! Two huge explosions exploded at the city gate, and the thick south city gate was violently blown open by Zhang Dabiao with explosives packs.

Fragments of the gate were blown up and flew in all directions, almost hitting a new group of soldiers lying nearby.

At the head of the city, the leader of the 3rd Squadron of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 24th Wing of the Japanese Army, who was observing the siege of the new regiment outside the city at any time, had pierced eyes and looked terrified.

"Bagaya Road, the city gate has been blasted by enemy troops! You, with a small team, go down and block the city gates. Even if it's a body, you have to block it for me! Frightened, Torotaro Satake pulled directly past a Japanese soldier who was not far from him, pointed to the city gate, and said angrily.

The Japanese soldiers who were pulled by the bad luck dared not speak angrily, and Ha Yi said: "Ha Yi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader!" ”。

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, I'm afraid the city gate can't stand it, let's withdraw! The Chinese army has entered the city! We retreated into the city to fight street fighting! The city has an unobstructed view, and there is no danger to defend. The artillery fire of the Chinese army has been bombing, and we have no artillery fire to counterattack, and if we continue to fight like this, our third squadron will inevitably suffer heavy casualties! Withdraw, Your Excellency Squadron Leader! "The adjutant of the third squadron, Taro Uchida, hurriedly ran over from one side of the cat's waist, and at this time there were explosions on the head of the city, and Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire kept bombarding the head of the city to suppress the Japanese soldiers and their firepower to fire at the siege soldiers outside the city.

Satake Torotaro's eyes were blood-red at this time, and the Japanese soldiers of the third squadron under his command could not be seen by sight, and it was estimated that there were less than two hundred people.

"Damn! Order all the squads to retreat to the city, and retreat while fighting to stabilize their positions. Remove! Hurry up and drop! Satake Torotaro looked around, and the city was covered by Wang Chengzhu's mortar fire, and the Japanese soldiers were bombed and ran around. Only one side of the battlement at the head of the city can rely on the attack of bullets from outside the city, not to mention the explosion of cannonballs, even the ancient city walls cannot be resisted.

Torotaro Satake had no choice but to order the remnants of the Japanese army of the 3rd Squadron and a part of the puppet army to retreat to the city quickly, preparing to rely on the streets and buildings in the city and fight street battles to delay the offensive of the new regiment and buy time for reinforcements to arrive in the southern city.

Satake Torotaro gave an order, the puppet army was in charge of the palace, and the remnants of the Japanese third squadron retreated to the depths of the southern city while fighting.

At this time, as soon as the Japanese army retreated, Zhang Dabiao waved his army to storm the southern city wall, and most of them were killed through the city gate. After all, at this time, there was no ladder to build a ladder to attack the city, and only most of them could pour in from the blasted city gate, and some soldiers shot outside the city to cover with fire.

"Haha, chase me!" Zhang Dabiao commanded the troops to enter through the blasted south gate, and wanton laughter resounded at the city gate.

However, just when Zhang Dabiao led his troops into the city, at this time, in the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army in Xinkou City, Kentaro Sugihara quickly got the news of the loss of the South City Gate, and immediately became angry.

"Baga Ya Road! Satake, this guy, what the hell is going on, is there too much Wei'an? Eight Ga Ya Road! What's going on now? Kentaro Sugihara asked a Japanese soldier of the 3rd Squadron who was rushing back in a hurry to report, his tone extremely angry.

In the final analysis, when Kentaro Sugihara followed Seishiro Itagaki to participate in the offensive against Jin Province, the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army and other troops he met were all rare defeats, but he didn't expect that when he was stationed in Xinkou, he was broken by an unknown enemy force to break the city he defended.

The Japanese soldier who knew the third one reported with a pale face: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the enemy artillery fire attacking the city is fierce, and the shells are very accurate. The enemy army has a lot of combat experience, and the enemy troops attacking Nancheng are at least three or four hundred people, and they are very elite, comparable to the direct troops of the empire's first-line field elite divisions! Now, the enemy army has entered the inner city block of the south city from the south city gate, and is fighting fiercely with the squadron leader, and the squadron leader is asking for reinforcements! ”。

"Nani? So powerful? Is it the Jin Sui Army or the National Army? Kentaro Sugihara asked anxiously.

The Japanese soldier hurriedly said: "Look at the enemy's uniform, it's the Eighth Route Army!" The enemy still has dozens of submachine guns, and we are completely unable to block the enemy's fire! Your Excellency! ”。

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, this is bound to be the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Yunzhong Mountain is only on the west side of Xinkou, and a rapid march can reach Xinkou in half a day! This must be the troops of the new regiment, and there are no elite troops of the Jin Sui Army and the National Army around! Ryo Tomita, chief of staff of the Fifth Infantry Brigade, who was also listening to the report of the Japanese soldiers, said to Kentaro Sugihara in a hurry.

Although Kentaro Sugihara believed that the Japanese soldiers of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the headquarters were very strong in combat, the Japanese troops in Jin Province who could stir up the new regiment were exhausted and could not be caught until today, so you can see the power of the new regiment!
