Soon after, Toshiji Miura, the commander of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, received a telegram from the 113th Wing asking for help.

"Bagaya Road, waste, a bunch of waste !!"

When Toshishi Miura learned that the reinforcements sent by the 113th Wing had been annihilated, he was furious at the command headquarters and cursed.

He vented at the headquarters and suddenly understood Li Hong's plan.

On the surface, the security regiment's shelling of the position of the 21st Brigade was actually a feint, and the actual purpose of the operation was to attack Nanji Town in order to attack the east and the west.

The security regiment even used heavy artillery, and the attack on the 21st Brigade was so big that it was to lure the 113th Wing into sending reinforcements and luring the snake out of the hole.

"Li Hong, you are really a cunning and sinister fox!"

Miura Toshishi's teeth gritted "gurgling", obviously hating Li Hong.

After a while, a devil Shaozuo staff officer reminded: "General, there are not many soldiers in the 113th Wing, if we don't immediately increase troops to rescue, the 113th Wing will be shattered, and at the same time, it will also lose the strategic place of Nanji Town, and it will be even more difficult to occupy Luliang in the future......

Miura Toshishi didn't know the strategic value of Nanji Town, but at this time, he was also helpless, and was repeatedly considering whether to reinforce or stay put.

At present, two battalions of the security regiment are facing off against the 21st Wing of the 43rd Brigade in the forward position.

Although the strength of the two battalions and the strength of the reserve force did not exceed 2,000 men, the security regiment was supported by strong heavy artillery firepower.

In order to reinforce the 113th Wing, it was first necessary to break through the resistance of the two battalions of the Security Regiment.

If the 21 Brigade concentrates its firepower, it may be able to open a breakthrough in the position of the security regiment.

However, don't forget, the 21st Brigade has lost logistical support and has run out of shells, so what will the enemy do next to compete with the Security Regiment and the 22nd Division defending the city?

After thinking about it repeatedly, Nanji Town still couldn't give up, and in the end, Miura Toshishi decided to increase his troops.

"Signal Corps, immediately order the 43rd Wing to attack the position of the Security Regiment, reinforce the 113th Wing at all costs, and then send a telegram to the commander of the Itagaki Division, requesting air support and airdrop!"

"Hayi!"

The communications corps sat down at the radio station and began to generate electricity.

Half an hour later, the 43rd Wing of the Devils gathered troops and artillery fire and launched an attack on the positions of the cavalry battalion and the fifth battalion of the security regiment.

Subsequently, several Japanese bombers took off from the temporary airfield that had been repaired, and the other two transport planes and devil soldiers were loading boxes of supplies and ammunition into the cabin.

……

The first battalion and the armored battalion marched towards Nanji Town, and when they were two kilometers away from Nanji Town, Li Hong asked the troops to stop moving forward and rest in place.

"Tuanza, telegram!"

Li Hong jumped out of a tank and took the telegram from the communications corps.

The telegram was sent from the 5th Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion, and the 21st Brigade of the Devils launched an attack on them, and the offensive was quite fierce.

After reading the telegram, the look on his face was very indifferent, and he didn't seem to care too much about the attack of the 21st Brigade.

Li Hong was well aware of the combat effectiveness of those two battalions, and there were more than a dozen heavy artillery guns to suppress it.

The 21st Brigade of the Devil lacks supplies and ammunition, and the attack is the three-plank axe, and the artillery fire will not last long, as long as the ammunition is used up, the Devil is a tiger with teeth pulled.

Immediately, Li Hong gave operational instructions, and the signal corps saluted and left, and called back to the Fifth Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion.

Li Hong took Chen Lin and Hu Vulture to the mountain on the side of the road, and they climbed halfway up the mountain, holding binoculars to look at Nanji Town, two kilometers away.

Nanji Town is an important town, defended by four or five meters high city walls, and there are several towering enemy towers, but there are only two gates in front and back.

Not long ago, the 113th Wing and a regiment of the 22nd Division fought a battle in Nanji Town, and the city wall defense of Nanji Town was seriously damaged, so the current city wall defense capability is far less solid than before.

At present, many of the city walls in Nanji Town have been re-strengthened by the Japanese army, and the artillery platoon of the security regiment has several heavy guns, so it is not difficult to open a breakthrough.

Several people stood on the top of the mountain and watched the guards of the devils in Nanji Town for a while, and soon, Li Hong had a battle plan to break the city in his heart.

"There are not many guards of the devils, and there are not too many heavy firepower weapons, bald, take your battalion to attack from the flank of Nanji Town, Chen Lin, your armored battalion will attack from the front!"

"Yes, Tuanza!"

After the two of them were ordered to leave, Li Hong called the artillery company commander Xiong Erdan.

Li Hong immediately ordered him: "Erdan, the defense of the city wall north of Nanji Town is relatively weak, wait for the concentrated artillery fire to attack a little bit to open the breakthrough!" ”

"Understood!"

Xiong Erdan was ordered to run away quickly, and was busy setting up an artillery position to attack Nanji Town.

After more than 10 minutes, the 1st Battalion and the Armored Battalion adopted the tactics of attacking in two directions.

A battalion marched toward the northern city, and the armored battalion advanced along the main road.

In order to observe the battlefield situation in Nanji Town more clearly, Li Hong ordered the headquarters to be moved forward by 500 meters, and the regimental headquarters was established on the halfway of the hillside.

At this time, the artillery platoon two kilometers away set up an artillery position, and five 105 field guns aimed at the northern wall of Nanji Town.

"Artillery salvo ready!" Xiong Erdan shouted at the artillerymen.

"One round load, done!"

The ammunition men stuffed the shells into the chambers and shouted.

"Fire!"

Xiong Erdan's voice fell, and a muffled cannon shot rang out.

"Tom, tom, tom!"

Artillery sounded continuously, and a row of 105-mm shells continuously flew out from under the ridge.

In an instant, the cannonball blasted towards the north wall of Nanji Town.

The 105 mm shells were so powerful that they could easily destroy the fortifications of the city walls.

"Boom, boom, boom-"

A violent explosion rang out, and shells fell on the walls and towers one after another.

The thick walls shook and shook, and the masonry built inside the walls was shattered, and several large holes were blown out in the walls.

Originally, the fortifications on the city wall had been hit by artillery fire before, and as soon as several large-caliber shells bombarded them, the city tower suddenly collapsed into ruins, and a large pile of rubble buildings flew everywhere.

"Ahh......h

Dozens of devil soldiers guarding the city wall were directly blown up by cannonballs, and their bodies rolled down under the city wall, and many little devils were buried alive under the ruins of the city tower, and there were even bones left from the little devils.

The power of this 105 mm field gun is really no joke, the ground can be effectively suppressed, and if you attack the city, you can break through the city walls.

"The Chinese soldiers have attacked the city!!"

This wave of shells smashed over, and the little devils guarding the north city wall were dizzy, and the enemy's casualties were very heavy, and the corridors of the city wall were full of bloody corpses of devils.

"Ya Ya Road, quick, quick, defend against the guards!"

The devil commander defending the city got up from the ground in embarrassment and hurriedly ordered the devil soldiers to enter the fortifications and guard.
