Chapter 365: Fierce Battle in Dongcheng
Torotaro's unit belonged to the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and the combat effectiveness of its own brigade was very strong.
It's just that even the garrison headquarters of Wei County can't intercept the cavalry troops of Li Yunlong and others, and it is conceivable that Torotaro Nara also feels very troublesome.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Suddenly, just as Torotaro Nara ordered the Japanese staff officers to send out and order the defenders in all directions of the city to strengthen their alert, a violent explosion suddenly exploded.
Even in the direction of the center of the castle, Torotaro Nara heard a violent explosion in the direction of Tojojo.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency Shaozuo, there is an enemy army attacking the city. Dongcheng was attacked, the enemy army had artillery fire to cover the siege, and the defenders of Dongcheng asked for reinforcements, asked for reinforcements! When Torotaro Nara was just about to ask about the situation, a Japanese staff officer of the command picked up the field phone that was ringing and rushed to Torotaro Nara.
"Nani?"
Nara Torataro's face changed drastically, and just when he ordered the defenders in all directions of Guangling City to strengthen their guards, someone attacked Guangling. Could it be that the Chinese army really came so quickly? Didn't you slap him in the face with Torotaro Nara!
"Baga Ya Road! Order the defenders of the eastern city to keep an eye on it. Tell the second squadron leader, Yuhei Takashima, that Tojo cannot be lost when reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, he will commit suicide! Torotaro Nara waved his hand with a gloomy face and ordered.
The terrain outside the city in the east city is flat, and the fortifications of the Japanese army in the east city wall are not much tighter than in the direction of other cities. Once the defenders of Dongcheng can't stand it and are breached by the walls of Dongcheng, it will be very troublesome.
At this time, the situation was still unclear, so we could only let the defenders of Dongcheng stare at it first, and then attack the enemy's intention to attack the city.
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo!" The Japanese staff officer who came to report the situation paused, then turned around and picked up the field phone, and directly called the defenders of Dongcheng to wait for help.
And the attack on Guangling City also made Torotaro Nara directly wonder in his heart, is it really the troops of the Zhina Army that went north from the direction of Flying Fox Pass and Laiyuan?
Thinking of this, Torotaro Nara beckoned several Japanese staff officers and said, "A few of you, take some soldiers to supervise the battle in the direction of the west city, the south city and the north city respectively. Be sure to hold on to the other direction first, and there are no surprises! ”。
"Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Several Japanese staff officers looked at each other and understood what Torotaro Nara's meant, so they nodded one after another.
Waiting for these devil staff officers to leave, Torotaro Nara continued to look at the Hiroling map. Although Guangling is not big, its strategic location is very important, once Guangling is lost, then the enemy army can go south from Guangling and directly attack Lingqiu. In other words, Torotaro Nara already understood that only the new regiment of Hengshan in the west had such a strong strength to deal with him in the vicinity.
"Damn, is it really Li Yunlong's new regiment that came to take my Guangling defenders first?" Torotaro Nara muttered in his heart.
At this time, what Torotaro Nara didn't know was that it happened to be Li Yunlong who personally led the troops to attack Guangling.
Outside the eastern city of Guangling, Zhang Dabiao personally commanded a battalion of more than 300 people, and fiercely attacked the city under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire.
Although the situation outside Dongcheng City is flat, in Zhang Dabiao's eyes, as long as Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire can be met, then there is basically no problem in capturing Dongcheng.
"Boom, boom!!!"
Blazing cannonballs whistled and fell from the sky, and most of the cannonballs landed on the top of the eastern city. Many Japanese soldiers did not expect that the enemy artillery fire that suddenly attacked the city outside the city would be really accurate.
The cannonballs exploded, and the scattered fragments of the cannonballs exploded in all directions like scattered flowers of the goddess. The fragments of shells flying at high speed hit the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and they were either dead or maimed, and a miserable scream suddenly rose and fell on the head of Dongcheng City.
"Good, good! Wang Chengzhu's artillery skills are still very good! Brothers, give me on, machine gun cover, demoman, give me on, blow open the gates! Zhang Dabiao saw in the telescope that his artillery fire had completely suppressed the devil's firepower point at the head of the Japanese army's Dongcheng City, and immediately ordered the first and second companies to start charging.
Sun Dehai, commander of the first battalion and one company, immediately personally commanded and organized the demomen, under the cover of the comrades-in-arms on both flanks, to begin a fierce attack in the direction of the Dongcheng City Gate.
For a while, the fierce battle in the direction of Dongcheng was very fierce. The two sides come and go, no matter how good they are, and it is difficult to separate.
However, in comparison, the Japanese defenders in Dongcheng, who were hastily attacked, were very embarrassed. Under the fierce artillery fire, the Japanese army in Dongcheng had a Type 92 infantry gun that quickly counterattacked, but it was soon bombarded by Wang Chengzhu's five Type 92 infantry guns, and the explosion became a complete part.
There was a sea of fire at the head of Dongcheng City, and the Japanese defenders who were bombarded by artillery fire were crying wolf, and the Japanese soldiers braved artillery fire to block the soldiers of the new regiment and a battalion attacking the city outside the city. But the resistance was very bitter, and even Yuhei Takashima, the leader of the second squadron of the defenders, turned solemn.
The enemy troops outside the city who attacked him in the direction of Dongcheng, judging by the color and style of the military uniform, were obviously the troops of the Eighth Route Army. Could it be that the new regiment that quietly came out from the direction of Hengshan could no longer be provoked, and attacked the imperial troops of Guangling first?
"Sir, Your Excellency Shao Zuo has ordered our troops to stand by for reinforcements, and we have mobilized two infantry squads in the direction of the south city and the north city to reinforce us, so that we must defend to the death. Those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed! In the smoke of artillery fire, a Japanese soldier braved Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, came up from behind the city wall, and found Yuhei Takashima, who was commanding the battle, and reported loudly.
When Yuhei Takashima heard this, he waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, "Yo Xi, I know!" Order all squads, stick to their posts, and wait for reinforcements, and our reinforcements will be almost there! ”。
"Hayi, sir!" The Japanese soldiers paused heavily and immediately rushed to give orders.
And Zhang Dabiao, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Guangling East City outside the city, had a solemn look in his eyes. Under the artillery bombardment of Wang Chengzhu, although they quickly suppressed the machine gun fire of the Japanese defenders in Dongcheng for the first time, and knocked out most of the artillery counterattack of the Japanese defenders in Dongcheng. But the siege has been going on for about five minutes, and there is still no way to break the stalemate quickly.
"Made, order Sun Dehai, give me a hard beating, and be sure to seize the city gate. Let this kid Wang Chengzhu increase artillery fire cover, bombard the Japanese fire at the head of the city, and cover the other infantry brothers to attack the city! Zhang Dabiao's face became solemn, he didn't expect that Guangling's Japanese army actually had a hand in defending the city, and it was a bit careless to see this at first.
A herald of the first battalion immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, battalion commander!" ”。
