When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he quickly picked up the telescope and looked ahead.

At this time, after Qingyuan Street passed the bell tower, there was still half the way to reach the inner city of Datong, but it was obvious that the commander of the Japanese Datong defenders had understood the importance of the bell tower, and dispatched at least one squadron of troops to gallop to the direction of the bell tower to reinforce it.

It's just that the bell tower has been captured by their own side, and the Japanese reinforcements show no sign of retreating. Instead, on the main street behind the bell tower, a blocking position was built along the way, and the attack was blocked layer by layer.

However, Zhang Dabiao did not expect that the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army would come so quickly, at least observing through the telescope, the Japanese reinforcements on the opposite street had increased to about three or four hundred at this time. Moreover, the devil gathered another squadron to fight back, trying to break his own attacking force.

With a sneer, Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and ordered, "The first company maintains the intensity of the attack, and let the second company and the third company cover the two wings to maintain the attack posture." The battalion reserves were ordered to be ready at any time to reinforce the attacking troops. Contact Wang Chengzhu's artillery team and let the artilleryman's brother open fire to block the Japanese counterattack! ”。

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The soldiers of the first battalion immediately stood up and saluted, then turned and galloped away.

At this time, a squadron of Japanese troops from the Japanese Wing Headquarters in Kuixinglou who had been drawn to the direction of Ximen for reinforcements immediately threw themselves into a counterattack, and the speed and firepower of the counterattack were fierce.

"Kill, kill!" The Japanese commander of this Japanese reinforcement squadron drew his samurai saber and stood on a higher ground on the side of the street, and the Japanese soldiers of the murderous command squadron counterattacked and attacked Zhang Dabiao's onslaught, which was very vigorous.

The soldiers of the reinforced Japanese squadron also roared, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers braved the fire of Zhang Dabiao's headquarters on the opposite side, and started a suicide group assault with a Type 38 rifle.

For a time, the group of Japanese squadrons attacked in groups, and Zhang Dabiao, who really counterattacked, attacked the first company of Sun Dehai's troops at the forefront and retreated.

"Tutu, tutu, tutu !!!"

The cheerful Czech-style light machine gun fire counterattack, several light machine gun firepower, regardless of bullet consumption, blocked the counterattack of this Japanese squadron, and the battle was white-hot.

"Resist, resist, machine gun, machine gun, on! Hold steady on both wings, quick, let the artillery in the rear give me a close shot of its damn little devil! Sun Dehai, the commander of the first battalion and the first company, saw the danger of the troops being attacked by the Japanese army at close range, and directly asked the herald to contact Wang Chengzhu's artillery, resist the artillery bombardment, and blow up the counterattack team of the Japanese squadron.

"Yes, company commander!" A soldier standing near Sun Dehai answered loudly and quickly ran backwards.

In less than a minute, Wang Chengzhu directly took two mortars and rushed to a place less than 10 meters behind Sun Dehai to quickly set up artillery.

"Directly in front of the target, at a distance of thirty meters, there is no base number of continuous shelling for one minute, put!" Briefly aiming at the counterattack distance and coordinates of the Japanese squadron, Wang Chengzhu directly waved his hand and ordered the artillery to adjust and start the shelling.

"Knock knock !!!" Although there were not many mortars, the mortar shelled much faster than the infantry gun, especially in the street fighting, where the curved shells whistled directly and accurately landed on the ranks of the counterattacking Japanese squadron.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!" The continuous explosions came one after another in an instant, and the fragments of the shells were scattered directly in the Japanese squadron, and the Japanese soldiers who were blown up suffered heavy casualties.

"Ahhh Mom! ”

"Sir, sir, help me, I don't want to die!"

"Baga, it's not good, withdraw, withdraw, quickly withdraw!"

In the Japanese squadron that counterattacked, it encountered an explosion in the night, and the momentum of the counterattack suddenly stopped, and the speed slowed down completely. This was followed by the screams of the Japanese soldiers, as well as the shouts of the junior officers of the Japanese squadron who commanded the attack.

"Sir, the other side's artillery fire is too precise and fast. Our grenadiers are no match at all, withdraw them! The squadron suffered heavy casualties, and it was already impossible to hold here. "Soichiro Miyata, the adjutant of the Japanese squadron who counterattacked, said urgently to the squadron leader Keisuke Nitta.

At this time, the artillery fire hit the ranks of the Japanese counterattack squadron, and the Japanese soldiers who were directly bombed were crying for their fathers and mothers. was violently bombarded by a burst of artillery fire, and the momentum of the Japanese counterattack was suddenly frustrated, not to mention that the counterattacking Japanese squadron counterattacked in a cluster suicide style, and the team was too concentrated. Although this can cause a fierce counterattack momentum, and the counterattack firepower is also increased for a while, but Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment, a falling mortar shell smashed into the ranks of the Japanese army, that is, more than a dozen, dozens of people were killed and wounded.

Keisuke Nitta received an order from Yoshio Nagano to assemble directly from the Kuixing Tower, where the wing headquarters of the 40th Wing was located, and galloped to the direction of the West Gate for reinforcements, but after receiving the loss of the bell tower, Zhang Dabiao's command post headquarters had already crossed the bell tower and advanced to attack in depth.

Keisuke Nitta, who rushed to the street behind the bell tower, saw the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacking from the opposite side, and could only assemble the squadron under his command, and came up with a pig burst cluster attack tactic, and the momentum counterattacked with squadron-level strength to curb the attack momentum of Zhang Dabiao's troops.

It's just that the opponent's street fighting ability is really strong, and the reaction speed is very fast. Seeing his counterattack by Keisuke Nitta, he directly used mortar fire as a counterattack to stifle the artillery fire.

And even Keisuke Nitta had to admit that the opponent's artillery counterattack could be fought very accurately in the dark of night and in the street fighting environment, which was enough to show that the opponent's street fighting strength was stronger than the Japanese army.

"Resist, the bell tower has been lost, if you continue to retreat, it will be to let the opposite branch army attack the inner city of Datong. The direction of the inner city is where the division headquarters is located, and it will not work if you retreat! Retreat some distance and block layer by layer. Immediately report to the wing commander about our situation here, and ask for reinforcements, the troops of the Eighth Route Army that attacked at night were very strong in street fighting, superior to the units under the command of our 10th Division. Hurry up and drop! Keisuke Nitta's eyes rolled, and then said coldly.

Tian Soichiro replied helplessly, "Hayi, sir!" Then he hurriedly sent Japanese soldiers to report to Yoshio Nagano, the commander of the 40th Wing of the Japanese Army at Kuixing Tower.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, who withstood the counterattack of the Japanese squadron where Keisuke Nitta was located, did not hesitate to command the elite of three companies to beat Keisuke Nitta's retreating troops, and the retreating soldiers of the Japanese army were beaten one after another.

"Bagaya Road, deceive people too much!" Keisuke Nitta vomited blood angrily, clearly indicating that Zhang Dabiao's troops were going to defeat his squadron.

It's just that the squadron in Keisuke Nitta's hands was bombarded by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and the casualties were at least more than 100 people.
