Chapter 438: The Stubbornness of the Defenders!

The officers and men of the newly formed 17 Brigade were re-established from scratch and patchwork, and the officers and men were already short of guns and ammunition, and they were not equipped with ammunition for night warfare at all.

The little devil seized the disadvantage of the defenders, so the enemy launched a night battle and tried to take Taierzhuang in one go.

The fighting between the two sides intensified, and the streets of the city were filled with gunfire and flames.

Countless tracer bullets, bullet lines flew back and forth, or crashed into the walls of houses in the city.

"Brothers of the 183rd Regiment, hold your ground!!"

"Brothers of the 187th Regiment, hold the position, and swear to live and die with the position!!"

The officers and men of the newly formed 17th Brigade relied on the fortifications on the corners of the streets to stubbornly resist the Japanese troops who charged over.

The soldiers huddled under the bunkers and shot at the light of the imps' guns.

"Tom !!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Dense shells fell around the positions of the ** troops, and explosive fire balls rose into the air.

The streets flickered and darkened, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides could be seen everywhere.

"Ahh......h

Screams continued in the city, and soldiers on both sides were killed and wounded.

In the face of the multi-faceted charge and fierce artillery fire of the little devils, no matter how tenacious the soldiers of the new 17th Brigade were, they could only retreat step by step because of the disparity in strength and weapons.

The defenders continued to shift their positions, using bunkers to fight and retreat.

According to the offensive of the little devil, it won't be long before the entire Taierzhuang falls into the hands of the Jutian United.

At this moment, the commander of the 39th Wing, Kikuta Mao Jiro, was directing the operation in Zhuanguchi.

In Taierzhuang City, the headquarters of the 39th Wing of the Japanese Army.

The Kikuta Wing was established in a large compound, and at this time, several devil officers and soldiers ran in to report.

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the First Brigade has occupied all positions on North Street!"

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the Third Brigade has occupied all positions on Center Street!"

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the fierce battle between the 2nd Brigade and the defenders of China on South Street was blocked, and the 3rd Brigade requested reinforcements!"

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Kikuta Maojiro began to think.

In the current situation, the second brigade of the devils has suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese defenders still have a certain amount of strength, and if the fighting continues, maybe the Chinese defenders will carry out a counteroffensive.

In order to avoid a repeat of the tug-of-war, Kikuta Shigejiro decided to concentrate three brigades to crush the Chinese defenders in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it for a while, Kikuta Maojiro ordered to his subordinates: "Order, the first brigade, the third brigade, quickly move closer to the second brigade and cooperate to annihilate the defenders of the city in China!" ”

"Ha Yi !!"

Before the Devil Command could establish communications, the officers and men immediately ran out of the headquarters to convey combat orders.

……

During the fierce battle in Taierzhuang, the armored battalion of the security regiment had already rushed to the outside of the village.

Li Hong stood on a hillside, holding a telescope and looking at the battle situation in the city.

The situation in the city is clear at a glance, just by the number of shots, it is clear that the little devil is in an advantage, and the defenders are retreating.

After observing the battle situation in the village, Li Hong put down the night vision binoculars in his hand.

"Which unit is the Japanese army in the city?"

A captain next to him replied: "Tuanza, according to the information of the theater command, the Japanese offensive force in Taierzhuang now is the 10th Division, the 39th Wing. ”

"The 39th Wing, one of the defeated men, hehe!"

Li Hong sneered disdainfully, and then he ordered the armored troops to move forward at full speed.

Dozens of chariots of the security regiment opened the way in front, and the infantry followed behind the chariots in vehicles......

As the armored forces advanced, gradually, the guns in the village became more and more noisy.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

"Da Da Da-"

Judging by the sound of gunfire, at least one or two thousand guns fired at the same time.

Taierzhuang South Street, here is the last position of the defenders of the 17th Brigade.

If South Street is lost, then Taierzhuang City will be all little devils.

After receiving the order, the various brigades of devils all rushed to South Street, and the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, and the number of little devils gathered more and more.

The positions of the defenders of the 17th Brigade were gradually occupied by the Japanese, and the defensive positions they could defend became very few, only a few streets and alleys.

It can be said that the defenders of the 17th Brigade have been forced into a predicament by several Japanese brigades.

The defenders of the 17th Brigade had only two choices, one was to be surrounded by devils and all killed, and the other was to abandon the city and escape.

Although there are many troops who have abandoned the city and fled in the army, there are millions of people in the army, and there is no shortage of proud bloody soldiers.

As the old saying goes, a soldier will bear a nest.

Yang Dalu, the commander of the 17th Brigade, did not give the order to retreat, and the defenders in the city naturally did not take the initiative to abandon their positions.

At the corner of Taierzhuang South Street, Yang Dalu, commander of the 17th Brigade, was directing the troops to fight.

"Brothers, hold on, wait for reinforcements!!"

Yang Dalu hid under the breastwork fortifications, ignoring the stray bullets flying around him, he used the machine gun in his hand to shoot at the little devils in front of him.

"Traveler, Traveler!!"

Several wounded officers hurried over.

"Brigade, the little devils are surrounded from the center street, the north street, the 187th regiment and the 183rd regiment, most of the positions are lost, and we are surrounded by the little devils......"

Yang Dalu suddenly became angry and shouted: "Don't care how fierce the little devil's firepower is, even if it is the Emperor's Guards on the dog day, you have to resist Lao Tzu!! ”

"Yes, !! Traveler"

The officers replied loudly, and soon they returned to their positions and formed death squads.

"Imperial soldiers, attack forward, the defenders of China can't hold it, ducks and chickens will give !!"

More than 1,000 little devils, like mad dogs, rushed to the South Street position of the 17th Brigade.

The attack of the little devil troops was fierce, and the guns and artillery repeatedly suppressed it.

The defenders refused to back down, and with the determination to die in the position of the people, they fought desperately with the little devils.

"Brothers, fight with the little devils, and swear to live and die with the position!!"

The defenders of the South Street position let out an unyielding roar.

Dozens of officers and soldiers of the 17 Brigade, huddled in bunkers or leaning against the broken wall, holding grenades in their arms and carrying bags of explosives.

"Brothers, the little devil is coming up, and if you want to die, you have to pull the little devil on your back!!"

"Come on, little devil!!"

Because it was night, the surroundings were flickering and dark, and the line of sight was not very clear, hundreds of little devils swarmed in, and the enemy did not know that the Chinese defenders were secretly hidden.

When the little devils rushed up in groups, the defenders dragged down the fuse one after another and died with the little devils.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Ahh......h

Violent explosions, accompanied by the screams of the little devils.

There were explosions in many positions and fortifications on South Street, more than 100 little devils were blown up, their bodies were torn into several pieces, and the enemy died on the spot.

The streets were littered with bombed, sparse sandbags, rubble, masonry, and bloody limbs and severed arms.
