Chapter 159: Nani! Lost the South Gate?

Li Yunlong led his troops to Duolun, which surprised the only remaining devils in the city.

Duolun is located on the west bank of the Shangdu River, with abundant water resources near the river and a railway.

However, at this time, Duolun City was already in a tense atmosphere, and the Japanese army with less than 300 Japanese troops in the city and part of the Imperial Allied Army temporarily recruited some devil expatriates in the city to form a temporary garrison of the city, and it would be good to have 1,000 people killed.

Li Yunlong led a large army to the city and immediately besieged Duolun City.

In the city, the commander in charge of defending the city at this time was the captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 19th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Independent Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Xinjiang Garrison Army.

At this time, this old devil heard that a large army was approaching the city, and the thunderous momentum had already surrounded Duolun, and it was impossible for a bird in the city to fly out at this time, and immediately climbed to the top of the southern city with a gloomy face.

Looking outside the city, I saw the dense new regiment of army flags fluttering outside the city, and the murderous momentum suppressed Matsumoto Takashi Shaosa.

"Huh!"

Matsumoto couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, looked around casually, and found that several guards and devil staff officers around him didn't notice, so he stabilized his mentality.

"Captain, what should I do? We are now temporarily recruiting the imperial expatriates in the city, and the troops formed by them, plus the original imperial army in the city, and the imperial alliance army, there are only more than 1,300 people in total! I'm afraid I can't stand it! Not only Matsumoto was secretly surprised, but Taro Ohara, the chief of staff of the brigade on the side, also whispered with a frightened face.

Matsumoto Takashita pretended to be calm, "Hold on, we have the protection of the city, Duolun is surrounded by water on one side, and there are walls on the other three sides as barriers." As long as we unswervingly defend to the death, relying on the current existing troops, it should not be a problem to block the Eighth Route Army for an hour! Order all troops, hold on and wait for help! ”

"Hello, Captain!"

Taro Ohara could only smile bitterly, as for whether he can withstand it or not, only the god of heavenly recruitment knows!

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind the two old devils.

I saw a devil staff officer hurriedly running over, "Report to the captain, chief of staff, General Matsui sent an urgent telegram, ordering our department to hold on to Duolun, and anyone who dares to break through and escape without authorization will be killed." In addition, Your Excellency the General has telegraphed the aviation troops at Nanyuan Airport to refuel and immediately go north to Duolun to support our defense of the city! The 3rd Brigade of the 5th Division of the 5th Division, which went north from Zhangbei, also marched north in a hurry, let us be sure to wait for help! ”

When Matsumoto Takashita and Taro Ohara heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Reinforcements on the ground and aviation reinforcements have rushed to Duolun to reinforce one after another, at least a little expected.

"Good!"

Matsumoto Takashita waved his fist fiercely and ordered Ohara Taro: "Immediately report to the defenders of the whole city, reinforcements will arrive soon, defend Duolun, and the great god of heavenly recruitment will be loaded!" ”。

"Understood, Captain."

Taro Ohara paused heavily, and then hurriedly took some of the devil supervisors to look around at the devils and strengthen the courage of the fierce battle.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already commanded all his troops to besiege Duolun.

Duolun is bordered by the Shangdu River to the east, and the other three sides are protected by city walls.

In this way, Li Yunlong could only lead his troops to attack Duolun from the northwest and south.

"Report to the regiment commander, the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Artillery Battalion, and the submachine gun commando directly under the regiment headquarters are ready for battle, please instruct the regiment commander!"

Li Yunlong's headquarters was set up in the woods hundreds of meters outside the southern city of Duolun, leaning against the edge of the woods behind a hillside.

"Attack the city immediately and tell all the departments to get rid of the devil defenders in Duolun within twenty minutes! Give me a complete takedown of Duolun! Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the map placed on the ground and ordered fiercely.

Several heralds and soldiers received the order one after another: "Yes, regimental commander! ”。

At the sound of an order, Zhang Dabiao and others, who were already preparing to attack Duolun City, commanded all departments to launch an attack posture.

Located a few hundred meters outside the southern city, Wang Chengzhu's artillery position has been arranged.

"Target the southern city of Duolun, concentrate artillery fire, three minutes of non-stop artillery bombardment, fire at me, kill !!!"

Wang Chengzhu, commander of the artillery battalion, waved a triangular command flag, slashed downward, and ordered the artillery group to open fire.

At least fifteen infantry guns and all the other mortars carried by the army were concentrated by Wang Chengzhu and fiercely shelled the Japanese fortifications at the south gate of Duolun and its head.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!"

One after another, the shells whistled out, and the tail flames of the shells swept through the sky at high speed and smashed towards the south gate of Duolun.

The elite army of devils defending the south gate of Duolun only has a squad of less than sixty people, and the remaining two hundred and seventy or eighty people are all devil expatriates who are temporarily recruited to participate in the defense of the city, as well as some puppet soldiers.

The terrified devil defenders watched the cannonballs whizzing in the sky, and they were already frightened, hiding behind the city and the fortifications one by one, praying for the so-called gods of heavenly tricks to bless themselves.

However, a moment of shells hit, and then one after another shells exploded.

"Boom, boom!!!"

The red dust and smoke of the cannonballs flooded the south gate and its head, and the explosions one after another completely flooded the south gate and the city.

The screams soon continued to sound, the artillery bombardment, the few artillery forces of the devils in the city could not be suppressed, and the one who was blown up by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire within three minutes was crying father and mother, constantly shouting the great god of heaven, His Majesty the Emperor or something.

It's just that they can't bless the little devils!

"Bagaya Road, order the defenders of Nancheng, resist it for me! Send the reserves to the south gate, you must guard the south gate for me! ”

The corners of Matsumoto's mouth, who lived on the roof of the brigade headquarters in the city and watched the battle situation condescendingly, looked at the shelling in the direction of the south gate, and couldn't help but say helplessly to the chief of staff, Taro Ohara.

Taro Ohara said in a low voice: "Captain, it's less than five minutes before the battle starts, and you're going to send a reserve team up?" We'll have no reserves to use then! ”。

Matsumoto Takashiro pointed in the direction of the guide gate and said with a wry smile: "Chief of Staff, do you see what's the point of keeping reserves now?" Once the south gate is lost, seven or eight thousand Eighth Route troops outside the city will enter the city, relying on the few elites in our hands, and the troops composed of temporarily recruited imperial expatriates will not be a blow from the other party at all! Only by guarding the city wall can there be a glimmer of life. Otherwise, it is impossible to win the street battles in the city! ”。

"Okay, captain, I'll personally lead the reserves to reinforce the south gate!"

"Please, Chief of Staff!" Matsumoto Takashiki said heavily to Taro Ohara.

Taro Ohara nodded, but without hesitation, he went down to the roof of the headquarters and led the only team of devil reserves to reinforce the south gate!

Taro Ohara, who hurriedly led the reserve team to the south gate of Duolun, had not yet led the team to the south gate, and on the main street of the south gate of Duolun, less than 300 meters away from the south gate, he met the defeated devil rout from the south gate.

"Nani? You lost the South Gate for me? Bagaya Road, a bunch of waste! ”

Hearing the rout report that the south gate had been lost, Taro Ohara shouted angrily!
