When the Ogiwara Matsudai headquarters was completely annihilated, Taijiro Nanda, who was still in the temporary headquarters of the 31st Brigade in Yangyuan Castle at this time, did not realize that the combat effectiveness of the independent brigade was so strong.

The fierce battle had been at least forty minutes, but the mountain position outside the city where the 163rd Wing, which he had deployed in the direction of Nancheng, had already been lost.

At this time, the old devil did not expect that the 163rd Wing had been wiped out at this time, and the old devil was still looking at the map of Yangyuan County on the table in front of him with the brigade chief of staff Ando Sajiro under the bright electric light, and kept discussing how to counterattack.

"Ando-kun, it seems that the situation is not optimistic! The attacking enemy army must be the independent brigade of Li Yunlong's division in Hengshan. According to the urgent reports of the defenders of each gate, the independent brigade that raided Yangyuan County was at least between 7,000 and 9,000 people. Moreover, the strength is not weak, and the artillery attached to it has at least three artillery squadrons. There are a lot of light and heavy machine guns, and the enemy machine gunners shoot with high accuracy, which is definitely an elite unit. ”

The sound of artillery was gradually approaching the brigade headquarters in the city, and Nanda Taijiro couldn't help but condense.

Sajiro Ando nodded with his head bowed, judging from the current fierce battle situation, the other party should be 100% of Li Yunlong's headquarters in the Hengshan region in the south. Previously it was a new regiment, now it is an independent brigade.

According to the information of the Eighth Route Army known in the past, the actual strength of the opponent's regular troops cannot be compared with that of the Nationalist Army.

Now, with so many of Li Yunlong's troops able to dispatch a surprise attack on Yangwon Castle, Sajiro Ando was not surprised at all.

After all, the 3rd Division was eaten little by little by Li Yunlong in Jin Province, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and other provinces. Until Li Yunlong led his troops to withdraw to the direction of Wei County, he ate the remnants of the 3rd Division in Wei County in one fell swoop.

From that time, it was learned that Sajiro Ando did not despise Li Yunlong's troops.

"General, listening to the sound of gunfire, I'm afraid the situation of the 163rd Wing is not optimistic!" Suddenly, the shouting and killing sound in the direction of Nancheng weakened a lot, and Sajiro Ando immediately said solemnly.

When Nanda Taijiro heard this, his ears were abnormally listening, and the sound of gunfire in the direction of Nancheng actually weakened.

However, this is not a good thing for Taijiro Minamita, "Hurry up, call Ogiwara Matsudai, the captain of the 163rd Wing of Nanjo, and see how they are doing?" ”

Sajiro Ando nodded, and immediately waved his hand to signal the staff officer of the Devil Brigade on the side to pick up the field phone on the table and contact the direction of Nancheng.

It's just that the brigade staff officer who was in charge of contact soon shook his head and said: "Chief of Staff, General, the phone in Nancheng is not working!" ”。

"Nani?"

"Nani?"

Taijiro Nanda and Sajiro Ando looked at each other, and then they both surprised in unison.

Sajiro Ando walked to the side of the devil's staff officer, took the telegram, and then personally shook the phone to contact the direction of Nancheng. However, he still couldn't get in touch with Hagiwara Matsudai.

"General, I'm afraid the 163rd Wing is in trouble!"

Sajiro Ando whispered to Taijiro Nanda worriedly, at such a tense moment, the 31st Brigade Headquarters could not directly contact the defenders of Nancheng, indicating that there was a big accident in the direction of Nancheng. 33

It's just that Nanda Taijiro said in a condensed voice: "I have already dispatched ten Type 95 light tanks from the chariot squadron to reinforce the 163rd Wing, with the powerful tank reinforcement of the empire, can't Ogiwara Matsudai hold the southern city?" ”.

Sajiro Ando couldn't confirm it in an instant, so he could only say loudly: "We must send someone to Nancheng and contact Ogiwara Matsudai." Otherwise, if Nancheng really loses, Li Yunlong's main force will come in from Nancheng, and it will inevitably come from the main street of Nancheng to the headquarters of our 31st Brigade in the city. Well, trouble. Checkmate! “。

"Immediately send cavalry to reconnoiter in the direction of Nancheng to see what the hell is going on in Hagiwara Matsudai? If the 163rd Wing still holds the southern castle, let Hagiwara Matsudai maintain contact with the brigade headquarters. ”

Sajiro Ando immediately paused and said, "Hay, general!" I'll do it right away! ”。

Seeing Sajiro Ando's footsteps hurriedly walking away to send someone to Nancheng to investigate, Nantian Taijiro's heart was gloomy, could it be that Hagiwara Matsudai was in big trouble?

At this time, when Nantian Taijiro did not know that Nancheng had been breached and the 163rd Wing was completely annihilated, the two Japanese Japanese brigades of the 110th Wing, which had rushed from the temporary main camp of the 110th Wing in the city to the direction of Nancheng, had exchanged fire with Zhang Dabiao's regiment and the troops of each battalion of the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment who cooperated with the attack on both wings.

At night, gunfire rang out throughout the streets of Yangyuan Castle, and the flames from the explosion illuminated the streets and the buildings on both sides.

As a result of obtaining the map of Yangyuan, Zhang Dabiao commanded the troops of the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment to attack in unison, although in a hurry they encountered an exchange of fire with the two Japanese brigades of the 110th Wing.

However, the fighters of the independent brigade, who were good at night fighting, quickly adjusted their tactics, gave full play to their own advantages in night combat and close combat, constantly divided and surrounded, and attacked the two devil infantry brigades from the 110th Devil Wing that they met.

"Boom, boom!! Boom Boom Boom !!! ”

"Bump Bump! , Tutu Tu Tu Tu !! “

Mortars, grenades, Jinzao submachine guns suitable for close combat, and light light machine gun fire cover in the hands of the soldiers of each battalion and company of the first regiment of the Independent Brigade, and the two Japanese brigades that came up to Nancheng to reinforce the devil 110 Wing soon retreated.

The commander of the 110th Wing, Shotaro Fujikawa, was hiding behind the wall of a building, under the protection of several devil staff officers and five or six devil soldiers, and under the dark light of the explosion, he was holding a telescope to carefully observe the various units of the regiment that were attacking in front.

"Report to the Wing Commander, we met several Imperial soldiers of the 163rd Wing, and the 163rd Wing has been completely wiped out. Their wing commander had already been killed by enemy submachine guns, and only a few escaped! According to urgent inquiries, the 163rd Wing's tank squadron of 163 Infantry guarding the South City Gate and other places has been blown up by the enemy forces besieging the city, and most of them have been destroyed in Molotov cocktails! "A few minutes after the fierce battle with a group, only the devil soldiers ran to find Shotaro Fujikawa and reported urgently.

Fujikawa Shotaro also didn't expect that the 163rd Wing was also a very capable wing under the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division, and it was completely annihilated by the enemy so quickly.

It seems that the comer is not good!

"Order all troops, resolutely resist! Report the situation to the brigade headquarters, and drip quickly! After waving his hand to the devil soldier and ordering, the old devil Fujikawa Shotaro ordered to a devil staff officer beside him.

"Hay, Captain!"

It's just that at this time, Zhang Dabiao commanded all his troops to attack hard, relying on the firepower advantage in his hands and his own strength in night fighting, the 110th Wing under the command of Fujikawa Shotaro personally came up to reinforce the two Japanese brigades in Nancheng and retreated.

All of a sudden, Shotaro Fujikawa also immediately paid attention to it, and was forced to give an order to the two devil brigades to defend and block the attack!

Soon, Taijiro Nanda, who was sitting in the headquarters of the 31st Brigade in the city, learned the news of the annihilation of the 163rd Wing, and was stunned.
