"General, the tank squadron of the tank squadron only has fifteen Type 95 tanks, and it can't all be sent out to reinforce Nancheng. Otherwise, if the brigade headquarters is not protected by tanks, the attacking enemy troops are very likely to be killed from other directions, and then it will be troublesome! ”

Sajiro Ando walked up to Taijiro Minamida and hesitated for less than two seconds before suggesting!

After thinking about it, Taijiro Nanda also knew what Sajiro Ando meant.

The sound of gunfire from the direction of Nancheng and the call from the 163rd Wing reported that the current strength of the enemy forces that raided Yangyuan City was not yet known. If you make a noise, you will be in trouble.

"Yo-sai, Ando-kun's suggestion is right. The tank squadron was ordered to send ten tanks to reinforce the 163rd Wing in the direction of Nancheng, and the remaining five tanks were deployed around the brigade headquarters to protect the safety of the brigade headquarters! Nanda Taijiro waved his hand and said in a condensed voice.

"Hai, General!" Sajiro Ando paused heavily, then walked to the side, personally picked up the phone to connect the phone of the commander of a devil tank unit assigned to the 31st Brigade before, and gave him a reinforcement order.

And at this time, the battle in the direction of Yangwon South City was extremely fierce.

Under the fierce attack of Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion, the 1st and 3rd Infantry Battalions of the 163rd Wing of the Japanese Army, which were deployed in the mountains outside the southern city of Yangyuan, had been destroyed by the heavy artillery fire of the artillery battalion.

Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao's first regiment, Shen Qun's second regiment, Ma Wenhai's third regiment, and the main forces of the three independent brigades attacked fiercely. The two Japanese brigades in the mountains outside the city cried for their fathers and mothers, and after about ten minutes of fierce fighting, the two Japanese brigades had already suffered casualties.

However, the commander of the 163rd Wing, Ogiwara Matsudai Daisazo, who was to defend the head of the southern castle, had to contact the headquarters of the castle through the telephone lines of each unit. After learning of the tragic situation outside the city, Hagiwara Matsudai couldn't sit still.

"Hold your ground for me, if you dare to withdraw from the city, you will die!"

Hagiwara Matsudai received a call from one of the captains of the Japanese army outside the castle, and when he heard that he was going to withdraw to the castle defense, he immediately refused.

In the mountains outside the city, there are several of the highest commanding heights on the mountains, once captured by the attacking enemy, the opponent will be condescending to the artillery attack, which is enough to cover the entire city of Yangyuan.

Whatever you say, it is impossible for Ogiwara Matsudai to let the devils of the two brigades outside the city withdraw to the city.

Hanging up the phone, Hagiwara Matsudai walked around in the cave of the hidden soldiers, the head of the southern city was already covered by the artillery battalion of the independent brigade, and in a hurry, although the artillery brigade directly under his brigade had ten Type 92 infantry guns, but because Yangyuan City had not been attacked by enemy troops for a week, or attacked.

Therefore, Hagiwara Matsudai was also lax, and the artillery of one of the artillery squadrons was maintained by his order.

The four guns of an artillery squadron deployed in the mountains outside the city were quickly killed by the concentrated artillery fire of Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion.

Right now, the mountains outside the city are asking for reinforcements, and the old devil does not dare to send troops out of the city for reinforcements. The infantry reinforcements can only be covered by the enemy's artillery bombardment, and heavy casualties are necessary. It was impossible for Hagiwara Matsudai to do this, so he could only call and order the two devil captains outside the city to stand by and wait for help.

And the rumbling bullets came with a shuttle, and the Japanese army at the head of the city had been suppressed.

"Bage Yalu, whose troops actually dared to raid Yangyuan City!" Hagiwara Matsudai gritted his teeth, his two infantry brigades stationed in the mountains outside the city were probably finished.

So at this time, Hagiwara Matsudai, there is no way to send troops out to reinforce, there is no artillery cover, and the infantry go out of the city to reinforce the devils in the mountains outside the city, they can only commit suicide!

In the fierce battle in the mountains outside the city of Nancheng, the main regiments of the three independent brigades, totaling more than 6,000 people, under the cover of the artillery fire of Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion, had already rushed to the defensive positions guarded by the two devil brigades deployed by the 163rd Devil Wing in the mountains outside the city.

The artillery fire was fierce, and the Japanese troops in the mountains outside the city were bombed and suffered heavy casualties. After all, the senior officers of the brigade and regiment departments in the city were drinking and eating meat in the city, and the devil soldiers of the two Japanese brigades of the 163rd Wing, who were guarding the mountain positions in the mountains outside the city, were not in the mood one by one, and their defense was lax.

And a sudden artillery fire attacked, and at least five or six hundred devil soldiers were reimbursed by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire in the first wave.

As Zhang Dabiao and others commanded more than 6,000 soldiers of the Independent Brigade to kill in the mountains, the remnants of the devil soldiers were also annihilated. Among them, Ogiwara Matsudai still sent a force to reinforce the Japanese troops in the mountains outside the city, but they were attacked by the artillery battalion of the independent brigade, and the heavy casualties of the bombing were so frightened that they withdrew to the city.

At this time, in the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the Devil in the city, Taijiro Nanda was still frowning, and some of the defending troops guarding the other four gates of Yangyuan also reported to the brigade headquarters that there were enemy troops attacking the city.

"General, it seems that the enemy army that raided our 31st Brigade in Yangyuan is very likely to be the Huaxia army in the south!" Pointing to the map in front of him, Sajiro Anto, chief of staff of the 31st Brigade, said with a serious expression.

Taijiro Nanda followed Sajiro Ando's finger in the direction pointed on the map, unable to believe, "How is it possible?" Li Yunlong's troops? ”

"Report to the brigade commander, Taiyuan emergency telegram!"

Just as Sajiro Ando was about to answer, a staff officer of the Devil Brigade Headquarters in charge of communications hurriedly walked up to Taijiro Minamida with an urgent telegram and said heavily.

Nanda Taijiro took the telegram and looked at it, his eyes were surprised, "Ando-kun, after Li Yunlong's troops withdrew to his Hengshan base area for rest, the headquarters of his Eighth Route Army has secretly issued an order for the expansion of his troops. Now, Li Yunlong's new regiment has been expanded into an independent brigade! ”

"At present, the elite troops of the enemy army who can get close to Yangyuan City, Li Yunlong's independent brigade has the motive to go north!" Sajiro Ando thought for a moment, and quickly said in a quiet voice.

Nantian Taijiro nodded heavily, at present, there are enemy troops attacking the city around Yangyuan City, and according to the devil defenders of each gate, the enemy artillery and machine gun fire are extremely fierce. Going out of the city to counterattack, it is difficult to drive out the enemy army to attack the city.

"Whether it is Li Yunlong's independent brigade or not, let's stabilize our position first! Did the tank squadron arrive in Southtown? ”

Hearing this, Sajiro Ando raised his right hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, "It may take another two minutes to get to the 163rd Wing in Nancheng!" ”

"Connect me to Wing 163 Captain Hagiwara Matsudai! Hurry up and drop! Nanda Taijiro waved his hand and shouted to the devil staff officer on the side!

In less than ten seconds, the phone was connected.

Taijiro Nanda yelled at the captain of the devil 163 wing on the other end of the phone, Ogiwara Matsudai: "Ogiwara, you must defend Nancheng for me!" Either way, keep it for me. I have ordered a squadron of ten Type 95 tanks to reinforce you! Defend the southern city and stabilize your position! Do you understand? ”。

"Hay, General! Humble duty understands! Hagiwara Matsudai on the other end of the phone replied loudly.
