"Damn!"

Secretly scolding, Ryosuke Tanya looked at the map of Datong City in front of him with a solemn expression, and pondered the current battle situation for a while.

"Immediately send a telegram to Huairen, Wang Guanrentun, and the garrisons closest to Datong to return to the division to reinforce Datong, hurry up!" Ryosuke Takuya ordered to the chief of staff of the division.

Di Bu Jia Gui Da Zotun said first, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

However, without waiting for the embankment to be clamped by the noble Dazuo Dazuo, the gunfire suddenly rang out violently on Heyang Street, which was less than 500 meters away from the Taiping Building of the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Brigade.

"What's going on? Send someone to check it out! Ryosuke Tatani actually understood in his heart that it should be the enemy troops who had captured the division headquarters and began to attack Dongcheng District along Heyang Street, and it was estimated that they had started a fierce battle with the troops on the periphery of Dongcheng District.

Sure enough, soon Japanese soldiers hurriedly arrived from the blocking position on the street near the division headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the chief of staff, the Chinese army has attacked along Hemen Avenue towards Dongcheng District. We are now less than 500 meters away, and the outer defense forces have already engaged in an exchange of fire with the Chinese army. The Chinese army is attacking fiercely, and now it has seized the first line of positions on the periphery and is attacking in the direction of Taipinglou! The Japanese soldiers who came to report the battle situation looked panicked and asked Ryosuke Tsuya to stand on the right path.

Ryosuke Yaya frowned and looked at the map, but he didn't expect the other party to chase after the catfish, Yaga!

"Pass my orders, and the blocking troops will resist. Dispatch a squadron to set up a defensive line on the street 400 meters away from Taipinglou, and be sure to block the onslaught of the Chinese army! Ryosuke Satani waved his hand and ordered the Japanese soldiers who had come to report on the battle.

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The Japanese soldiers answered, and then hurriedly left to give the order.

At this time, the chief of staff of the division and regiment on the side, Tsuki Buji, said to you, "Your Excellency, division commander, we only have more than 1,300 people left. And the loss of Li Yunlong's troops in the Chinese army will not be very large, and it is now in the night. Fighting in the dark, we don't have an advantage. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, suggests that the existing troops be assembled immediately and break through to the east! ”。

"Don't say the word breakout again! What news is there now from the reinforcements to the south and east? ”

As soon as Ryosuke said this, Di Bujia Gui Dazuo smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, the garrisons of Wang Guanrentun, Yanggao, and Tianzhen have just left the city to reinforce in the direction of Datong, and they encountered the attack of the Chinese army on the way. The mountain road was dug up, the railway was destroyed, and it was difficult to reach Datong for a while. In addition, Huairen, south of Datong, is the closest to our Datong defenders, and the railway in the middle was also attacked and destroyed by a group of Zhina troops. The railway could not be used, and reinforcements could only be sent on foot. But the road was constantly under attack by squadrons, and the pace of the advance was very slow. ”。

"Sure enough, no wonder the Eighth Route Army dared to attack Datong at night, it seems that it is ready!" Ryosuke Tanya had a stinky face, looking very hideous under the rickety light, and said in a trembling tone.

It's just that it's too late to come back to his senses, and there are not many troops in his hands at this time.

At this time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was ambushed outside the city at night, and if it was ambushed in the cold wind in the field, it was bound to be eaten. After all, with a hasty breakthrough, it was difficult for heavy artillery to rush on snow-covered and muddy roads.

And the reason why Ryosuke Takuya made the decision not to break through from Dongcheng was, on the one hand, the above reasons. On the other hand, there were many slums and complex buildings in Dongcheng District, which was conducive to the Japanese army holding in Dongcheng District and delaying the offensive speed of the new regiment.

"Order all troops to defend Dongcheng District. Immediately strengthen the defense of the Taiping Tower, and be sure to rely on this place to prepare for the defense of Dongcheng District! Reinforcements from two directions, speed up the reinforcement of our department! If the situation is not good, let them speed up and reinforce us. Ryosuke Satani waved his hand, pretending to be calm and ordered to the chief of staff.

Hearing this, the Emperor was disappointed, and His Excellency the division commander still couldn't let go of the face problem of escaping from Datong, and insisted on defending Dongcheng District.

In desperation, Di Bujia Guiton first said, "Understand, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

Dividing line

Just when Ryosuke Takuya made a stubborn defense of Dongcheng District, Zhang Dabiao was directing the troops to follow the route of Ryosuke Suke's escape and attack Dongcheng District along Hemen Street.

At this time, He Yongjie had already commanded the post headquarters to capture the north and south cities, and this part of the troops also began to outflank the Dongcheng District, and cooperated with Zhang Dabiao's battalion to launch a rapid attack.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao's unit took the lead in exchanging fire with the Japanese peripheral troops of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 40th Wing of the 10th Brigade of the 10th Division guarding Dongcheng District on Hemen Street.

Both sides were furious, especially Zhang Dabiao's department, which was even more excited to attack forward.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Rifle bullets snapped out and hit the enemy positions on the opposite side, colliding with bursts of sparks. In the darkness, on the street of the Japanese army's Dongcheng District near the headquarters of the inner city division, a squadron of the Japanese army guarded the narrow part of Hemen Street, loaded it with mud into sacks, and built several fortifications to block the onslaught of Zhang Dabiao's troops.

"Kill, kill! Block the attack of the Chinese army, warriors, kill! "Captain Kotaro Takeda, the leader of the first squadron of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 40th Wing of the Japanese Army, brandished a samurai saber and directed the Japanese soldiers of his squadron to open fire and counterattack.

A squadron of more than 240 Japanese soldiers opened fire on the soldiers of the new regiment and the first battalion that were attacking from behind the hastily sack-built blocking fortifications.

Under the Thunderbolt Bala, the Japanese army's firepower counterattack was not bad. It was only with the arrival of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and soon the Japanese soldiers under the command of Kotaro Takeda were bombed and wailed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!!! ”

The screaming shells dragged a long tail flame, streaked through the dark and biting cold night of Datong, leaving a moment of bright light, and smashed into the Japanese position, easily overturning the Japanese army's blocking fortifications. Along with the explosion of the shells, the stumps and severed arms of Japanese soldiers were also blown into the sky, and with the cold wind, they were scattered all over the ground.

"Sir, we have suffered heavy casualties, and we must have artillery support!" The captain of the Japanese army risked the constant attack of ballistic tracer, and said to Kotaro Takeda with a panicked expression.

Kotaro Takeda said angrily, "Steady, don't panic!" Immediately send someone to report to the division commander and ask for reinforcements, the offensive of the Chinese army is too fierce! Hurry up and drop! ”。

"Hello, sir!" The captain of the Japanese squad responded to the road, and quickly turned around and sent a few Japanese soldiers to risk their lives and run back to ask for help.
