Hiroaki Sakamoto moved quickly, and directly ordered the Japanese troops who were stubbornly defending the periphery east and west of Mazhuang to withdraw into Mazhuang.

The main force of the Japanese army on the south route of the 2nd Division was dominated by Hiroaki Sakamoto's 3rd Brigade, although it was Hiroshi Yamada who was in command, but the 3rd Brigade under the command of Hiroaki Sakamoto received Hiroaki Sakamoto's order, and although he had doubts, he quickly withdrew into the horse village according to Hiroaki Sakamoto's order.

Responsible for attacking the west and east of Mazhuang were the two men and horses of the second and third battalions of the new 1st regiment, with a strong force of more than 3,000 men and horses in the two regiments.

As Hiroaki Sakamoto's order arrived, the devil troops who were defending to the east and west of Mazhuang quickly withdrew into Mazhuang and moved closer to the core area of Yamada Hiroshi's headquarters.

Due to the heavy snowfall, snowflakes densely obscured the view of the second and third battalions of the new regiment. Under the cover of artillery fire before the two defenders of the little devil retreated, by the time something was wrong, the remnants of the Japanese army in these two places had already retreated to Zhuangnai.

Sensing that something was wrong, the second and third battalions tried their own ways, and then confirmed that after the devils retreated, the men and horses of the two battalions were "annoyed and angry" and swept into the village.

And Li Yunlong soon got the report of the heralds sent back by the second and third battalions, and he was also surprised, "Made, this devil Yamada Hao is going to concentrate his forces to stick to the core position in the village!" But, haha, this is a self-defeating end! ”

Li Yunlong knew Yamada Hao's plan for the first time, and it seemed that after He Yongjie led his troops to raid and capture the hilltop position north of Namazhuang. The condescending artillery bombardment of Zhuangnei was already unbearable for Yamada Hao, after all, the commanding heights of the mountain in the north of Zhuangbei had been raided and occupied by He Yongjie's troops.

Even the two infantry brigades continuously dispatched by Yamada Hao could not cooperate with Miokuma Jiro's division to recapture the hilltop position north of Mazhuang, so the mortars of He Yongjie's army were able to condescendingly shell Shonai, so Yamada Hao had to make the decision to order the devils west and east of Mazhuang to withdraw into the street battle in Shonai.

After all, only by fighting in the streets of Zhuangnei, mixing himself and the troops of the new regiment together, could He Yongjie's artillery bombardment of Zhuangnai be stopped on a large scale.

And sure enough, Hiroshi Yamada did just that.

However, street fighting is the specialty of the new regiment, and the street fighting ability of each department has been tempered in the previous series of city attacks on the surrounding areas of Hengshan and Ji Province and Lu Province. In addition, Li Yunlong currently has a lot of submachine guns in his hands, at least the rapid firepower of the front-line infantry such as the Jin submachine gun and the light machine gun that captured the devil is very powerful.

In the street fighting, the new regiment was not afraid at all.

"Order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and guerrillas to all enter the horse village and beat them hard! The little devil is looking for his own death, and wants to rely on the street battle to fight with us and gain time, what he thinks is too beautiful! Send out all the mortars and grenadiers and hand them over to the attacking troops! ”

Li Yunlong put down the binoculars in his hand, thought about it, and then ordered the staff officer on the side.

The staff officer of the accompanying army suggested loudly: "Regiment commander, send out all the reserves, as well as the mortars and grenadiers of the headquarters, we will have no artillery support here!" As soon as the little devil's reinforcements arrive in a hurry, we are in trouble! ”。

"So!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said with a smile: "We have to go all out to completely eat the main force of the Japanese army on the south road of the 2nd Division commanded by Yamada Hao before the reinforcements of the little devils arrive at Mazhuang." Otherwise, once the little devil's reinforcements arrive, do you think that with our current command headquarters and the reserves in our hands, we will be able to block the counter-encirclement of the devil's reinforcements? Needless to say, carry out the order! Only by quickly solving the main force of the Japanese army on the south road commanded by Hiroshi Yamada, and then the whole regiment will withdraw from here, it is right! ”。

"Yes, Captain, I see." The staff officer of the army thought about it, and then stood up and saluted, and then turned around and left to send someone to give the order.

At this time, Hiroshi Yamada had already withdrawn the remnants of the Japanese army on the periphery east and west of Mazhuang into the village of Mazhuang, and placed them in a circular area of less than fifty meters around the headquarters of the village. Relying on the dense private houses and buildings in the village, the blocking fortifications are built layer by layer.

Due to the cold weather, and the Japanese troops under the command of Hiroshi Yamada are stationed in the Songhua River area of Liaodong outside the Guanxi all year round, they are very familiar with the cold weather.

After Yamada Hiroshi stabilized his mood, the old devil actually thought of stacking sacks and other objects at the intersection of the main street, pouring hot water on them, and then freezing them, making the fortifications very strong.

Zhang Dabiao had already completed a three-sided encirclement of Shen Qun's second battalion, Ma Wenhai's third battalion, and some guerrillas against Yamada Hao's headquarters.

As for the north, because there were less than 2,000 devils from the remnants of the three Japanese infantry brigades such as Mikuma Jiro who were still attacking He Yongjie's headquarters on the hilltop position north of Mazhuang, they could only encircle Yamada Hiroshi's headquarters on three sides.

However, the barricade fortifications of the devil in the horse village, after Yamada Hao thought of a way to do it, made it more difficult for Zhang Dabiao and other troops to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Several 80 mm mortar shells hit the fortifications of a devil's barricade, but it was only a few pieces of ice that were broken when the hot water was blown up, and the sack frozen in the cold temperature was just a few pieces of ice, and Zhang Dabiao frowned.

"Battalion commander, the little devil probably poured hot water on the fortifications and froze the sacks and other things in extremely cold weather. And it was very smooth, and it was difficult for our mortar shells to explode and shatter the devil barricades on the opposite side at once. What to do? Han Dewen, a company commander who was squatting next to Zhang Dabiao, said in a condensed voice.

Zhang Dabiao saw from the telescope that this was indeed the case.

Zhang Dabiao has been fighting in Jin Province for many years, but he didn't know that splashing hot water on brick and stone walls and other objects would soon freeze and solidify!

Seeing the little devil reinforcing the barricade fortifications like this, Zhang Dabiao was not surprised at this time.

However, even if the little devil did this, under the superior melee firepower, the Type 38 rifle of the devil infantry could not block the attack of his own fighters with submachine guns.

"Order the troops, one flank and rear detour, one frontal feint, artillery cover! Give me a little bit to gnaw them off, speed up the time, the devil's reinforcements are the closest to us, and they have already set off from Lingqiu County to the north, and the guerrillas along the way can't stop them for a long time! ”

Zhang Dabiao sneered and despised the little devil, such a fortification can stop himself for a while, but he can't stop it for a lifetime!

"Understood, battalion commander!" The commander of the first company, Han Dewen, nodded and said, and then the cat walked away quickly.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao and others had already led their troops to complete the encirclement of Yamada Hao's department, although the north did not completely defeat Miaokuma Jiro and other devils, but He Yongjie's department estimated that it should be almost ready to charge down, and it was not difficult to completely encircle Yamada Hao's department at that time.
