Chapter 142: Annihilating the Enemy Army of the Merchants
Baga Ya Road, waste! ”
Less than ten minutes after the start of the battle, Ximen was broken by the other side, which made Kiyojiro Gamoto, who had always been arrogant, very dissatisfied.
But listening to the shouting and killing sound coming from the direction of the West Gate, Kiyojiro Kamoto couldn't care about roaring angrily, "Order the remnants of the West Gate army to fight and retreat along the street, and block the new regiment of troops for me!" Order the other three defenders to defend the city walls! Those who dare to escape from the battlefield will be killed! ”
"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"
The chief of staff of the brigade, Captain Aoki Kuma, paused heavily, and then hurriedly sent someone to give the order to defend it.
At this time, it was the fist troops of the new regiment that broke through the city from the west gate, and Zhang Dabiao, a battalion who was good at besieging the city.
After most of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire concentrated on bombarding the enemy fortifications in Xicheng and suppressing the defensive forces on the enemy city wall and at the city gate in Xicheng, Zhang Dabiao commanded the headquarters of the first battalion to rush and kill bravely, and rushed up to kill the explosive point made by the artillery battalion.
According to the Japanese puppet army guarding the Shang capital, although it was under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, it was also a force under the control of Okabe Naosaburo.
However, the Japanese army of the 2nd Independent Brigade and the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army in Shangdu were not very elite, and in the face of the strong attack of the new regiment and the first battalion of the new regiment that was very familiar with the coordination of infantry and artillery, the Japanese puppet army at Ximen met in a hurry.
After the remnants of the Ximen army stopped the artillery fire, they found that Zhang Dabiao had already commanded the headquarters to rush into the Shangdu City under the cover of artillery fire!
"Rush me, continue to rush in, and go straight to the headquarters of the devils in the city, kill! Kill, kill!! ”
Capturing the city gate tower at the head of the West Gate, the condescending Zhang Dabiao continued to command the various units of the first battalion to continue to attack and advance in depth.
For siege operations, the headquarters of the first battalion has been very sophisticated. Once the city is broken, if it is not for the first-line armor division of the devils to defend the city, there is basically no way to block the fierce offensive of the first battalion.
"Yes, Battalion Commander!" There are constantly heralds receiving orders to convey the various companies and units of the first battalion!
The battle was completely unfolded in the Shang capital, and the west gate, which was first breached, had poured into more than 2,000 soldiers under the first battalion. A battalion of more than 2,000 soldiers, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, followed the previous siege routine, regardless of the direct attack on the headquarters of the Japanese army in the city, but encountered the stubborn defense of the remnants of the little devil Xicheng along the way.
"Boom, boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! ”
The shells continued to explode on the streets of Ximen, and the Japanese puppet army that hastily retreated to the streets of the city and blocked Zhang Dabiao's troops along the way was less than 200 people. Although there were nearly 600 people in the West Gate and the Imperial Association Army guarding the West Gate, they had already suffered heavy casualties under the fierce artillery fire of Wang Chengzhu.
Immediately after Zhang Dabiao's fierce attack into the city, the remnants of the Japanese puppet army at the west gate could only retreat to the city and wait for reinforcements.
It's just that the devil defenders of the remaining three gates in Shangdu County are more than 500 and as few as three or four hundred defenders, of which most of the Japanese forces are concentrated in the city to defend.
Therefore, less than seven minutes after Zhang Dabiao's troops broke through the West Gate and entered the city, the remaining three gates of Shangdu were successively broken by Li Yunlong's command.
After about fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, the four gates of Shangdu had been broken by Li Yunlong's troops, and each department continued to attack the city fiercely.
Amid the rumbling of gunfire, Kiyojiro Kamoto, who was guarding the core position of dozens of courtyards in the county seat of the county capital, was already in a hurry in the brigade headquarters of the county government.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the four gates have been broken by Li Yunlong's troops. The defenders of each gate had no way to stop the enemy, and they had already retreated to the county headquarters in the city! ”
In the city, in the devil headquarters of the county government, the chief of staff of the brigade, Captain Aoki Kumaji, anxiously reported to the captain of the brigade, Kiyojiro Kamoto.
The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing outside the headquarters was stimulating the nerves of Kiyojiro of the Canadian Yuan all the time, and this old devil never thought that Li Yunlong's troops were so strong that they broke through the defense of the four guards of Shangdu in about fifteen minutes, and successively attacked the county seat of Shangdu.
At this time, the county seat was breached, and Shangdu was afraid that it would not last long!
"Steady, we are soldiers of the Empire! Don't panic! ”
Kiyojiro Kamoto reprimanded Kumaji Aoki with a face, "Send a telegram urging the 2nd Infantry Brigade in Kangbao Prefecture to speed up and reinforce us!" If we don't come in fifteen minutes, we'll be wiped out! ”
"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the situation is not second! The 2nd Infantry Brigade in the direction of Kangbao called back, and on the way to the north towards Shangdu, they encountered a large number of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way, and the speed of the march could not be accelerated! Along the way, there were mines planted by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army! ”
Kumaji Aoki reported with a wry smile that this was a call back from the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the latest 18th Infantry Wing.
Hearing this, Kiyojiro was a little speechless, and it was no longer a strange thing that there were a large number of guerrilla activities of the Eighth Route Army in various parts of Chahar. Kiyojiro had already thought that the fraternal troops who were going north for reinforcements from the direction of Kangbao would not arrive so quickly, but he didn't expect that the guerrillas would even take out mines to block the reinforcements from going north, indicating that Li Yunlong had already contacted the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Chahar.
"Send a telegram to the 2nd Infantry Brigade and ask them to speed up and reinforce our department as soon as possible! In about twenty minutes, you must rush to the county seat of Shangdu. Otherwise, when they get here, they will have to clean up for us! ”
The shouts and gunshots outside the headquarters where Kiyojiro Gamoto was located were already approaching, and the old devil also waved his hand a little helplessly and ordered Aoki Kumaji.
Aoki Kumaji smiled bitterly, "Hay, Your Excellency Shaozuo! He immediately sent someone to send another telegram urging the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.
At this time, the battle in Shangdu County had been unfolding for seventeen or eighteen minutes, and the three main battalions of the new regiment that had entered the city had already blocked and surrounded the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the city.
At this time, even if Kiyojiro of the Canadian dollar wants to lead the remnants to break through, it is almost impossible.
If Kiyojiro Kamoto had led the 1,708 Japanese puppet army in Shangdu to concentrate his forces to break through before the beginning, Li Yunlong might not have been able to block the devil's breakthrough.
However, at this time, Li Yunlong had already entered the county seat of Shangdu from outside the West Gate, and arrived at the edge of the last position where the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Shangdu were besieged, and observed condescendingly from the rooftop of a residential house in the city.
"Regiment commander, the various departments have besieged the headquarters of the devils in the city. According to the reports of various ministries, there are less than 500 remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Shangdu, of which there are only 300 devils, and the rest are the Imperial Army! They had been ordered to surrender two minutes earlier, but the devil command did not respond! ”
Li Yunlong listened to the report of the herald soldiers coming back, and sneered, "Order all departments to launch a general attack immediately, and completely annihilate the Japanese puppet army of Shangdu!" ”
"Yes, Captain!" The herald soldiers departed.
Less than a minute later, the rumbling artillery bombardment was launched instantly, and under the cover of artillery fire, the general attack on the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Shangdu began.
Facing the siege of more than 7,000 troops by Li Yunlong, Kiyojiro Gamoto did not have time to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and was finally wiped out in less than ten minutes after the general attack under the command of Li Yunlong and others began!
