"Good! Attacked! Pass my order, order the independent battalions, cavalry companies and other units responsible for pinning down the west, east and north gates, and attack the city in an all-round way! Deploy intercepting forces on the periphery to intercept the Japanese troops in the city at any time, and let them carry out the pre-battle battle plan! ”

Behind a dirt slope three or four hundred meters outside the south gate of Yuci, Li Yunlong put down the binoculars in his hand, and then ordered a staff officer beside him.

"Understood, Captain."

The staff officer of the accompanying army responded with a word, and then beckoned the herald to hurriedly convey Li Yunlong's order.

Fierce battles broke out in Yuci City, and snowflakes fluttered in the sky in broad daylight, and light snow fell. There weren't many people hanging out on the streets of the city itself, so after the battle started, the people in the city actually hid in their homes one by one and didn't dare to come out.

Due to the thick clouds over Yuci, even Taro Miyano, who was the first to learn of Yuci's request for reinforcements, had no way to order the Japanese air force stationed at Taiyuan Airport, which had the fastest reinforcement speed, to send fighter planes to support in the air.

At this time, the south gate of Yuci was lost, Zhang Dabiao waved his division into the city, and the remnants of Furukawa Hideaki's third squadron were killed in the city.

According to the information obtained by Duan Peng's special combat team in advance, the headquarters of Junichiro Matsuda, the commander of the 16th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in the city, was in the headquarters compound in Yuci Castle when a certain regiment of the Nationalist Army was stationed in the city.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao, who attacked the city from the south gate, directly drove the remnants of the Japanese army at the south gate of Furukawa Hideaki to kill the Japanese army headquarters in the city.

At this time, the news of the loss of the south gate had been reported to the brigade headquarters in the city by phone before Furukawa Hideaki decided to abandon the south gate and the evacuation of the castle head.

After receiving the loss of the south gate, Junichiro Matsuda suddenly threw away the pencil in his hand!

"Yaga Road, Furukawa Hideaki's waste, the artillery team has lost it for me! The south gate is also lost, waste, waste. In the headquarters of the Japanese army defending the city in Yuci City, Junichiro Matsuda scolded and scolded, and several Japanese staff officers around him were silent and did not dare to speak.

Captain Shunsuke Kubo, who was still the chief of staff of the brigade, hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you must recapture Nancheng." If a large number of enemy forces enter the city from the south gate, the rest of the defenders will also be attacked from behind by the Eighth Route Army that entered the city from the south gate. When the time comes, the situation will deteriorate! Your Excellency, please make a decision. ”。

"Kubo-san, there is only one squad left in the brigade headquarters, and it is already useless to send it up! Even if the reinforcements set off from Taiyuan City at this time, it would be too late! What did Chief Miyano say when he called back? ”

Shunsuke Kubo smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Miyano called back, the reinforcements have already departed, and the strong reinforcements of a wing have rushed towards Yuji City. An infantry brigade of the vanguard army was all reinforced by trucks, and ordered us to hold Yuci City for at least half an hour, and the reinforcements must arrive! ”。

"Damn, I don't know if we can still hold Yuci City for half an hour? Forget it, the south gate has been lost, the gunfire is gradual, order the remaining three defenders to move closer to the brigade headquarters in the city, and move closer to me! ”

Junichiro Matsuda walked around, pondered for a while, and then made a decision.

Shunsuke Kubo was taken aback and said, "Your Excellency Shaosa, you can't do anything to defend the headquarters. There are only a few compounds in the command that can be guarded. Although the walls of the wall are thick, if you trap the command headquarters, you can only be hit by the opponent's superior artillery fire! Li Yunlong's army attacking the city outside the city had at least fifteen mortars. And once we are trapped in the headquarters, we will have no place to die! ’。

He had already learned about the artillery power of the troops commanded by Li Yunlong outside the South Gate, how could Shunsuke Kubo gather the defenders of the other gates and move closer to the headquarters when the artillery squad had already been destroyed?

Isn't this a gathering of the other party? It is clear that Li Yunlong's men and horses are strong and the artillery fire is fierce.

Trapped in the brigade headquarters, it is really a dead end!

Sure enough, even the other Japanese staff officers of the brigade headquarters, who were a little afraid to speak, looked at Junichiro Matsuda expectantly, hoping that the old devil would not concentrate the forces of the other defenders to move closer to the headquarters. Otherwise, the total annihilation of the army is imminent.

Shunsuke Kubo's reminder suddenly made Junichiro Matsuda, who was a little confused, suddenly come back to his senses, and then said in a condensed voice: "Then Kubo-san, now the south gate is lost." It is unlikely that some of the defenders of each gate will recapture the south gate in the direction of the south city, the guns are gradually sounding, and the other party has already killed our headquarters, what do you say? ”。

Shunsuke Kubo was also an ant on the hot pot, and he was anxious, and then clapped his hands and said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, it is better to concentrate your forces on street battles in the Beicheng urban area." The Eighth Route Army pays attention to the war of annihilation, and if it were not for the total annihilation of the Yuci City Defense Brigade, Li Yunlong might not have left! And now, if we want to atone for our crimes, it is the best choice to entangle the main force of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong in the city! The terrain of Beicheng urban area is complex, suitable for street fighting! ”。

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, your advice is very suitable! Without further ado, while he was still able to make a phone call, he ordered the rest of the defenders to assemble in the northern city area. If they encounter the pursuit of the besieging Eighth Route Army, it is best to induce them to attack the northern city by retreating while fighting! Hurry up and drop! ”

As soon as he pondered it, Junichiro Matsuda felt that this suggestion by Shunsuke Kubo was good. At least Li Yunlong's men and firepower were superior to his own, and the south gate had been lost, and the other party was rushing to the headquarters.

At present, there is only a small team of troops left in the command headquarters, and it will definitely not be able to stop the onslaught of the opponent's large group of men and horses who have entered from the south gate.

It is better to withdraw to Beicheng District for street fighting, and it can also drag down the main force commanded by Li Yunlong. Strive to wait for reinforcements to arrive in Yuci, and join forces with the outside to attack the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong.

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Several Japanese staff officers in the headquarters responded one after another, and then left one after another to order the various units to move closer to the northern city to assemble.

At this time, Furukawa Hideaki, the squadron leader of the third squadron under Junichiro Matsuda, who was guarding the southern castle, relied on his familiarity with the terrain in the city, and quickly rushed back to the Japanese brigade headquarters in the city before Zhang Dabiao led the remnants, and saw Junichiro Matsuda and other devils who were evacuating the brigade headquarters.

"Bagaya Road, you waste, you actually abandoned Nancheng! Forget it, how many Imperial Army soldiers do you still have in your hands? Seeing Furukawa Hideaki, who fled back in embarrassment, Junichiro Matsuda suddenly became angry and said angrily.

Furukawa Hideaki saw that Junichiro Matsuda was furious, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Excellency, the strength of the Shina army attacking the south gate is at least seven or eight hundred, and the artillery fire is fierce. The artillery team was killed by the enemy's artillery counterattack within a few minutes of coming up, and we had already been bombed by the artillery fire of the Zhina Army outside the city, and we could only shrink behind the battlements, but we were also bombed with heavy casualties. At present, only more than 30 people of the third squadron in the hands of the lowly are lucky to withdraw from the south gate to the city. ’。
