Ryosuke Tsuya frowned at this time, looking at the map of Datong City placed in front of him as the lights swayed. It is densely marked with icons of the current fierce battle between the two sides, but for Ryosuke Tsuya, the battle situation is beginning to be unfavorable for the Japanese defenders of Datong.

The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer, and it was very close to the Japanese division headquarters in the inner city of Datong, which forced Ryosuke Kotani to only be able to transfer the only two Japanese Type 96 150 field howitzers, regardless of the heavy artillery support to the Japanese blocking troops on Qingyuan Street in Datong.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the military headquarters has called back!" Just when Ryosuke Takuya mobilized heavy artillery to support the Japanese defenders at the West Gate, the chief of staff in charge of staff in the division headquarters was in charge of the staff of the division, and he hurriedly pinched a copy of the urgent telegram that had just been translated, and rushed to Ryosuke Suke and stood up.

Ryosuke Tanya didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Yo Xi, what did the military department say?" ”。

"Your Excellency, Commander Shinozuka, has sent a telegram back to the report that you have sternly ordered the garrisons in the northeast of Tianzhen, Yanggao, and Wangguanrentun, which are closest to Datong, to reinforce our department. In addition, the key towns of Huairen, Daiyue, and Shanyin along the railway line south of Datong dispatched a wing of troops to the north. Ordered our troops to hold Datong and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Hearing this, Ryosuke Yasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand and said to the embankment, "Yo Xi, it seems that we have a chance to eat the main force of the Eighth Route Army besieging the city." Regardless of whether Li Yunlong's troops are attacking the city or not, we must completely annihilate this bold and bold army of the Zhina Army that attacked the Datong Imperial Army. By the way, how is Seishiro Itagaki doing now? ”。

"Your Excellency Division Commander, it seems that Seishiro Itagaki's pursuing force has returned to the division in the north! Just now Itagaki Seishiro sent an urgent telegram, and they chased to Lijiazhen to find that the rebels of Qian Bojun's army had been wiped out by Li Yunlong's troops. Moreover, there was no trace of Li Yunlong's troops at this time, and according to the current time and the latest situation of the attack on Datong that we have discovered about Seishiro Itagaki did, we judged that the squadron attacking Datong should be Li Yunlong's troops. Now, Seishiro Itagaki is thinking that he is going north to return to the division to reinforce us. ”

Ryosuke Takuya was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, Seishiro Itagaki will withdraw if he withdraws!" ”。

After a pause, Ryosuke Tanya pointed to the map of Shanxi and said, "Judging from the current situation, Li Yunlong's troops are likely to come east from the direction of Zuoyun and lurk outside Datong City. At this time, the wind and snow are heavy and the climate is cold. Coupled with the fact that it was under darkness and the style of the Chinese army that was good at mobile warfare, we did not find that this squadron was in a reasonable state. Baga, this may be our 10th Division's chance to gain combat merits. ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the sound of gunfire is getting closer and closer. If the other party is really Li Yunlong's troops, it stands to reason that the actual strength of the Eighth Route Army troops besieging Datong cannot be too much! "The embankment does not clip Gui Dazuo analyzed.

Ryosuke Tsuya looked solemn and said, "What do you mean?" ”。

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Division, I suggest that you concentrate your forces to block the Chinese army that is attacking the city from the west gate. Now the Chinese army that has entered the city from the west gate is at least less than one main street away from the headquarters of our inner city division. Di Bujia Gui Dazuo suggested that although the Japanese troops on their own side could hold Datong City, but now the gunfire is getting closer and closer, indicating that the three Japanese squadrons that have been mobilized to reinforce West Street in a roundabout way have fought very fiercely.

The opponent's attack ability is too strong, and it has already killed not very far from the division headquarters.

Ryosuke Tsuya shook his head and said, "Don't continue to transfer the garrison troops in the direction of the other city gates first. At this time, the night was shrouded and the wind and snow were fierce. The Imperial Army did not have many troops, so it could not send reinforcements to the West Gate too much. Di Bujun, you personally take a trip to Kuixing Tower, and cooperate with Yoshio Nagano to guard the second half of West Street. ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders!" The embankment can only nod helplessly, and what Ryosuke Takuya said is also right. At present, the enemy situation is not very clear, if the rest of the defenders of the city gates continue to be transferred, then there will really be a large number of troops outside the city to take advantage of the situation to attack, with the weak strength of the defenders is really difficult to hold the city wall.

Once the rest of the gates and walls were lost, it would be a big trouble.

When Di Bujiagui received the order to rush away, at this time, on the street in the second half of the bell tower on Qingyuan Street in Datong, Keisuke Nitta was commanding the remaining more than 600 Japanese troops to fight the fierce attack of Zhang Dabiao's troops in the cold wind and snow.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

A hastily constructed sack barrage fortification on a Japanese street was blown up into the sky by shells from several mortars, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown up on the spot, and many Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces on the spot, with stumps and broken arms everywhere.

Blood was splattered all over the streets, and the wounded Japanese soldiers who had survived the artillery fire lay on the ground wailing.

"It's good, Wang Chengzhu's artillery skills have improved, not bad!" Zhang Dabiao, who arrived at the front line to command, smiled and held the binoculars, looked at the effect of the shelling on the Japanese blocking position in the light of the flames ignited by the artillery fire, and couldn't help but smile at the battalion staff officers beside him.

The staff officer of the first battalion said with a smile: "Battalion commander, according to the current fighting method, in about ten minutes of fighting, we can at least advance to the periphery of the Japanese division headquarters in the inner city of Datong." Hehe, I heard that the commander of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Shitani, was in the headquarters of the Japanese division in the inner city of Datong at this time. If you can kill this guy, it will definitely be a cripple in the face of Yoshio Shinozuka. Hey, hey, hey! ”。

"Haha, you're right! Order your brothers, speed up your attacks. Let the submachine guns and light machine guns serve as stormtroopers, and the riflemen shoot from a distance to cover, and let Duan Peng's special combat team go out to snipe the machine gunners on the Japanese blocking positions in a roundabout way, and knock out the devil's firepower point! ”

The staff officer of the first battalion nodded and said, "Understood, battalion commander!" Then he hurriedly sent someone to give the order to intensify the attack.

Zhang Dabiao intensified his attack, and for a while, the Japanese troops under the temporary command of Keisuke Nitta, who were struggling to support, were left with less than 400 people. The battle was unusually fierce, and it was really unexpected by Keisuke Nitta.

"Sir, the Chinese army is attacking too fiercely. Our Imperial warriors are not good at night battles, and they are detoured by the other side, and they suffer heavy casualties in surprise attacks. What to do? Keisuke Nitta's adjutant Soichiro reported with a frown, his face solemn.

"Damn! Let the troops resist, our friendly troops in the northeast and south have galloped towards Datong to reinforce, let the warriors resist! Tian Zongjun, you can send someone to report to His Excellency Dazuo about the situation here and ask for tactical guidance! Keisuke Nitta thought about it and said with a wry smile.

"Understood, sir!"
