In the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Datong City, the Japanese headquarters in the cold night was full of busy scenes.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the latest battle report, the bell tower has been lost, and the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army are attacking and advancing along Qingyuan Street in the direction of the inner city. It's less than the distance from the inner city to West Main Street. Yoshio Nagano sent a squadron to reinforce Nishidachi, but was bombarded by enemy artillery and suffered heavy losses. Request reinforcements and tactical guidance. ”

Under the shaky lights of the headquarters, which was shaken by the explosion of the shells, the chief of staff of the Japanese 10th Division, Tsutsumi Butsuki Daisa, reported eagerly to Ryosuke Tsukuya.

After hearing this, he looked solemn, walked to the table where the map was placed by the headquarters, picked up the baton and moved it on the map, and took a closer look.

"Have you explored the blocking position clearly, which unit of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the defenders of our Datong Imperial Army?" The night battle has lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and although Ryosuke Takuya knew that it was the Eighth Route Army that attacked Datong at night, the specific unit number of the enemy, the old devil still didn't know, and his heart was already faintly on the verge of rage.

Regarding the intention of not immediately transferring troops after taking over, Di Bujiagui hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Qiqi Division, according to the situation reported from the front, it is preliminarily judged that the regular army units of China that have recently moved around Datong may only be capable of attacking Datong with Li Yunlong's new regiment!" ”。

"Nani? Li Yunlong's new group? How can it be? "Ryosuke Yasuke subconsciously thought that it was impossible, after all, at this time, wasn't the troops commanded by Li Yunlong chased by Itagaki Seishiro to the vicinity of the Hongtao Mountain area south of Pinglu?

At this time, Li Yunlong's troops would appear outside Datong City, and attack the defending troops of his own 10th Division attacking Datong at night.

It's just that Di Bujiagui smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, division commander, the sky is scorching dark at this time, and we are fighting fiercely with the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the streets of Qingyuan. Now it is certain that it was the troops of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Datong, and as for whether it was Li Yunlong's new regiment or not, we can only know if we catch a live mouth for interrogation! Now, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the pressure on West Street is too great. I'm afraid that the three squadrons reinforced by roundabout will not be able to withstand it for long, and the night combat ability of the units under the command of our 10th Division is actually not very strong! ”。

The sound of gunfire continued to roar, getting closer and closer, and the shouts of fierce fighting could already be heard at the division headquarters.

Ryosuke Yasuke frowned, looked at the map for a while, and said, "Whether it is Li Yunlong's troops or not, how is the battle situation in the direction of the rest of the north, south and east gates now?" ”。

"Division commander, the battle in these three directions is not very fierce, it seems that the Eighth Route Army is making a feint outside the city. However, there are probably a lot of troops of the Eighth Route Army outside these three gates, and we have already dispatched one squadron each to reinforce West Street, and the rest of the defenders of each gate are only 100 people left to defend. If the enemy forces outside the city are numerous, we may be attacked from the back. After all, the situation outside the city at night is unknown, and it is easy to go out of the city to counterattack, once it falls into the ambush of the enemy outside the city, with the limited strength of the Japanese army, it will be a big trouble if there are too many losses at that time.

After all, a Datong city is too big, and the defensive city wall, an infantry brigade without a door, and the strength in the direction is not enough.

"Baga Ya Road! It was ordered to draw the troops of the three squadrons that reinforce West Street in a roundabout way, block the attack layer by layer, and be sure to block the onslaught of the Chinese army. Immediately inform Itagaki Seishiro of the night attack on Daito. By the way, I also have to report to Commander Shinozuka about the sneak attack on Datong. Ryosuke Tsuya ordered with a wave of his hand.

Di Bu Jia Gui Da Zuo Dun said first, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander, I understand my humble duties!" He turned around and left the order.

At this time, when Ryosuke Takuya was worried, he didn't know that it was really the troops of the new regiment who were attacking the city.

The battle on the streets of Qingyuan in Datong continued to be fierce.

The street fighting in the night was fierce, and the bullets collided together, colliding with each other in the night, and fiery sparks flew in all directions. The Japanese soldiers blocked the onslaught of Zhang Dabiao's troops, and a small number of soldiers on both sides had already met each other in short combat.

However, Zhang Dabiao soon realized that the Japanese army wanted hand-to-hand combat, so he ordered each attack squad to use submachine guns and light machine guns as the leading fire, and the riflemen to delay long-distance firing, and cooperate with long and short firepower. In addition, Wang Chengzhu's artillery team advanced with the attacking troops, arrived at the bombing, and gradually eliminated the Japanese army's blocking position on Qingyuan Street.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!!! ”

The bullets of the light machine guns continued to strafe and suppress the Japanese firing points, and the infantry in charge of the attack moved and flashed, approaching the Japanese blocking position.

Then, Zhang Dabiao's battalion of soldiers took out a grenade and threw it at close range.

The slightest sound sounded, and the grenade emitted smoke and smashed into the heads of the Japanese soldiers in the dark night sky, and then smashed down fiercely.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"

One by one, the wooden-handled grenades exploded, and the Japanese soldiers who blew them up directly suffered heavy casualties. In addition, Wang Chengzhu's artillery fired from time to time to bombard, suppressing the grenadiers in the Japanese troops and covering the attacks of their own infantry.

"Sir, the offensive ability of the Shina army is too strong. The other side is good at night fighting, and the tactical coordination is very familiar, and we meet it in a hurry, and there are not many permanent blocking fortifications on the streets that we can rely on. The reinforcements have already exhausted a squadron, and there are still more than 500 people left, I'm afraid it won't last long! Soichiro Tian said in a hurry to Keisuke Nitta, the leader of the Japanese squadron who was in charge of temporarily commanding reinforcements.

At this time, the Japanese troops who rushed to the West Street from the direction of the East Gate and other three city gates for reinforcements had already been under the temporary command of Keisuke Nitta, but the Japanese reinforcements who had just arrived to reinforce the West Street had already suffered casualties of about a squadron in less than seven minutes.

Zhang Dabiao's fierce offensive and combat effectiveness that he was good at night battles directly shocked the Japanese army.

"Baga, damn it. Report to His Excellency Osa! We have already found out clearly, the other party is the troops of the new 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and it may be that Li Yunlong personally commanded the attack on Datong, and asked His Excellency Dazuo for instructions! By the way, report to His Excellency Dazuo, we are under a lot of pressure. The other side is good at night fighting, and our casualties are too great. Keisuke Nitta nodded his head and ordered his adjutant Soichiro Ta while directing the Japanese troops to block the attack.

Tian Zongichiro paused and said, "Hayi, sir!" He immediately sent someone to contact Yoshio Nagano.

In the middle of the night battle of Datong, at this time, in the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka, who had just fallen asleep, received a report from the chief of staff, Taro Miyano.

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of garbage!" Yoshio Shinozuka saw Ryosuke Shinoya's urgent telegram and immediately burst into anger.
