Ichiro Yamato and the chief of staff of the wing, Taka Tengjiro Shaoza, had just arrived at the entrance of the wing when they heard the shelling in the direction of Kitajo. Eight] Eight] Reading] Book, .2√3.¢o

Soon, a Japanese staff officer rushed out of the wing headquarters and hurriedly reported to Yamato Ichiro: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the head of the North City has been shelled. Harita Akiyama, the captain of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, who had just been inspecting the garrison at the head of the castle, was hit by a shell at the head of the castle and had already died in battle for His Majesty the Emperor! Now an enemy army has been spotted outside the city attacking the city, and now they have begun to attack the city walls! The defenders of the North City are asking for reinforcements! ”。

"Nani? My Yangquan is under siege by enemy troops? How can it be? On the way back to the wing headquarters, Yamato Ichiro also smiled with Chief of Staff Gao Tengjiro and talked about the fact that Yangquan would not be attacked by Li Yunlong's troops, after all, Yangquan has developed transportation and is in a critical place, and there are many Japanese troops around Yangquan who can reinforce Yangquan.

At the moment, although the enemy army outside the city is attacking the city, I don't know whose troops it is, but the old devil Yamato Ichiro believes that it is likely to be the troops of the new regiment!

The Japanese staff officer who came out to report hurriedly said: "Now the northern city has been subjected to fierce bombardment by enemy artillery, and most of the machine qiāng fire points at the head of the north city have been destroyed by enemy artillery fire, and the city head has no organic qiāng fire to block the enemy attack on the city, and there is no artillery at the head of the city to counterattack, only a few grenadiers and mortars to carry out artillery counterattacks." But the accuracy of the enemy's artillery bombardment was high, and our artillery counterattack was quickly destroyed by the enemy! The defenders of the northern city are now suffering heavy casualties, and they ask the wing to send reinforcements! ”。

"Baga Ya Road! Immediately upload my orders, and order the whole city to be on guard. Gao Tengjun, let's go in quickly! Yamato Ichiro's face was gloomy, and he didn't care about saying more, so he hurriedly walked into the command room of the wing headquarters with Gao Tengjiro, the chief of staff of the wing. ∷VIII8∷Reading∷Book,.2∞≠

At this time, the command room was already full of people, Yangquan encountered the enemy outside the city siege, this is since the end of the battle of Xinkou, after the Japanese army captured Yangquan, the first time to encounter a large-scale siege of the city by the Chinese army.

"What's the latest? I want to know the enemy siege in the direction of the four cities! After Yamato Ichiro rushed back to the command room, he asked the Japanese staff adjutant who was on duty.

The Japanese staff officer on duty solemnly pointed to a topographic map of Yangquan City placed on the table in the middle of the command room, and said: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, according to our contact with the rest of the defenders of our wing in the direction of Dongcheng, Xicheng, and Nancheng, we have summarized the current battle situation!" Except for the northern city that was attacked by a force of seven or eight hundred people, the other three cities were found outside the city to surround the city, but the Chinese army outside the city of these three cities only provoked and attacked, but did not storm the city! Our staff officers think that it may be tempting our troops defending the city to go out of the city to counterattack! The commander of the defense of the three cities asked the wing headquarters for instructions, whether to go out of the city to counterattack? Your Excellency! ”。

Yamato Ichiro didn't reply immediately, but asked Gao Tengjiro, the chief of staff of the wing on the side, "Gao Teng-kun, what is your suggestion?" ”。

"Your Excellency Dazuo, now we don't know which branch of the army attacking the city outside the city is, the enemy situation is unknown, let's hold the city wall first! Let's repel the Chinese army that took the initiative to attack Beicheng first! Gao Tengjiro pointed in the direction of Beicheng and said.

Ichiro Yamato nodded, and Taka Tengjiro was doing it steadily. It would be very troublesome if the enemy forces outside the city in the direction of the other three cities were deliberately luring the defending Japanese troops out of the city to counterattack, and then concentrate their forces to attack the city after the field battle.

Gao Tengjiro's approach is a steady approach, first find out which side of the enemy army is besieging the city, and then be able to prescribe the right medicine.

So, Yamato Ichiro said to the Japanese staff officer in front of him: "Order the defenders in the direction of the three cities to guard the city walls and city gates for me, and not easily go out of the city to counterattack!" Immediately order the defenders of the northern city to resist me. Order the four infantry squadrons directly under the command to dispatch two infantry squadrons to reinforce the defenders of the northern city, hurry up! In addition, immediately contact the defenders of Beicheng to quickly find out which side of the Chinese army is besieging the city, and then report to the wing headquarters immediately!"

"Hayi, Your Excellency Dazuo!" The Japanese staff officer on duty at the wing headquarters said with a heavy pause, and immediately shook the phone on the desktop to contact the defenders of the northern city.

At this time, the battle in Yangquan North City had entered a white-hot stage.

When Wang Chengzhu's artillery continued to bombard the city, Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered Zhang Dabiao's battalion and Zhou Hua's spy battalion, totaling more than 800 people, to attack in the direction of the north city gate.

At this time, the troops waiting for the attack were only about 300 meters away from the city gate, and in less than a few minutes, under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, they rushed to the city gate.

"Boom, boom!"

With a huge bàozhà, the city gate that was closed in the hurry of the bombing north city was shattered on the spot, and the wooden planks of the city gate were burned by the cannonballs, and soon collapsed.

Wang Chengzhu used the method of Li Yunlong's sect to continue to bombard the Japanese planes and other firing points on both sides of the city gate with four mortars, and used one mortar to blow up the gate of the northern city with the method of Li Yunlong's sect.

"Good, the pillar is well done! Brothers, give it to me! Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he saw that the gate of Beicheng was blown open by Wang Chengzhu himself, and ordered all his troops to start storming Beicheng.

At the sound of an order, more than 800 soldiers of the new regiment, nearly two battalions of soldiers under the command of Li Yunlong, stormed into the city from the blasted city gate.

Immediately, the troops attacking the city took Zhang Dabiao's battalion as the main attack, and continued to attack the Japanese wing headquarters in the inner city of the city along a relatively spacious street in the north city. And Zhou Hua's spy battalion was divided into two, attacking along the streets in the direction of Dongcheng and Xicheng to cover the two wings of the first battalion!

It was still the same, Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao's battalion, and after killing all the Japanese defenders in Beicheng, he continued to penetrate directly into the Japanese wing headquarters in the city.

Because the siege was really sudden, after the Japanese defenders in the north city were suppressed at the head of the city, the basic fire points at the head of the city were killed by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire one by one, and it was no longer possible to stop the new group of soldiers who came in from the city gate.

At the moment when the head of the north city was lost, the temporary commander of the Japanese army at the head of the city hurriedly connected directly to the joint team headquarters in the city through the telephone located in the city gate building, and reported the news of the imminent loss of the north city to the wing headquarters.

At this time, the wing headquarters in the city received a call from the temporary commander of the defenders of the northern city, and the Japanese staff officer who answered the phone immediately reported to Ichiro Yamato: "Your Excellency, the northern city is about to be lost!" The enemy army has breached the gate of the northern city, and the imperial soldiers at the head of the city have suffered heavy casualties! In addition, Beicheng reported that the main force of the Chinese army has come along the commercial street of Beicheng and directly killed our wing headquarters! ”。

At this time, Ichiro Yamato, who was looking at the military map, was surprised: "Nani? The North City is lost?! ”。 11
