Chapter 433: Shocked
Nancheng was lost, at this time there were only more than 100 Japanese troops left in the city, and the rest of the Imperial Association Army was less than 200.
As soon as he thought of this, Yoshikawa Yousuke instantly bowed his head and said: "Yo Xi, immediately order all the departments to break through to Xicheng, and we will retreat in the direction of Liangcheng, hurry up!" ”。
"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, would you like to contact His Excellency General Seishiro Itagaki and inform us of the situation?" Ryotaro Sekiguchi said out loud.
Yoshikawa Yousuke thought about it, although Seishiro Itagaki personally sent an urgent telegram asking Toyojin's own side to hold the castle for at least twenty minutes. But it is obvious that the headquarters of the new regiment besieging the city is too strong, and the firepower is fierce, and if it continues to defend it, his 1st squadron will all suffer heavy casualties!
"Send a report to Seishiro Itagaki, Yaga! In order to entangle the troops of the new regiment on their behalf, we lost at least one squad of the Imperial Army. We are a unit under the command of the 10th Division, and it is impossible for us to defend Fengzhen to the death without being able to withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army! Yoshikawa Yousuke shook his head and said, Originally, Fengzhen was in his own hands, and it was his own autonomy to stick to it, but he would not really follow Itagaki Seishiro's orders.
Now, the situation is in crisis, and it is impossible to hold Fengzhen. Otherwise, if the troops of the 1st Squadron are exhausted, the captain above will not spare himself.
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, obey your orders!" Ryotaro Sekiguchi nodded, and immediately asked someone to send a report to Seishiro Itagaki.
And Yoshikawa Yousuke didn't talk nonsense, and immediately called on all the Japanese personnel in the command to withdraw from the headquarters and assemble in the direction of Xicheng to break through.
At this time, there were at least more than 200 Japanese puppet troops in the city, and the speed of the assembly was very fast, and in about three minutes, the remnants were assembled near the gate of the West City.
"Regiment commander, the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Fengzhen suddenly assembled in Xicheng on a large scale. Now most of them have gathered near the gate of the West City, ready to break through! Zhang Dabiao, who was the first to attack the city, quickly discovered the movement of the remnants of the Japanese army, and quickly chased after Yoshikawa Yousuke's tail, and quickly sent a herald to report to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong personally took the battlefield phone and called Zhang Dabiao and said: "Da Biao, catch them and wipe them out!" I asked the cavalry company Sun Desheng who disturbed the city outside the city to cooperate with you, and be sure to annihilate the Japanese puppet army headquarters in Fengzhen! Not a single one can escape! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao nodded heavily on the phone and said.
Soon, with Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao commanded the post headquarters, and cooperated with some of the four battalions that entered the city to attack, and began to carry out a general attack on the Japanese puppet army assembled in Xicheng.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"
One by one, artillery shells were overwhelmingly shelled the remnants of the Japanese puppet army assembled near the west city gate, and only some Japanese officers such as Yoshikawa Yousuke, who had fought back with grenadier shells, were blown up in a mess.
"No, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, it seems that the Chinese army is aware of our movements. Now they are constantly bombarded with mortar shells, and it will be very difficult for us to break through! "Hiding in a house near the West Gate, there was a loud sound of shells falling and exploding everywhere, debris was blown everywhere, and the fragments of the shells were even more terrifying.
Although the West City Gate was still in the hands of the Japanese army at this time, Nakagawa Tomohito, the second squad leader of the Japanese army defending the West Gate, braved the shells that exploded everywhere, and found Yoshikawa Yousuke in the location of the temporary headquarters to report urgently: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the big thing is not good, a large force of Shina cavalry is swimming outside the city outside the West City, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least one hundred and fifty cavalry. If we break out of the city, we will inevitably be strangled by the Chinese cavalry! ”。
"Baga, damn it! The Eighth Route Army actually had cavalry! Because of the relationship of time and distance, Yoshikawa Yousuke, who had been stationed in Fengzhen for almost half a year, did not know that the new regiment actually had so many cavalry accompanying the army.
Once he really gathered the remnants to break through from the West Gate and retreat in the direction of Liangcheng, he would inevitably encounter the strangulation of the enemy cavalry on the way. Two legs, but you can't run on four legs!
Misfortune is not alone, and without waiting for Yoshikawa Yousuke to give an order, I saw Ryotaro Sekiguchi, the squadron adjutant on one side, rushed to the front of Yoshikawa Yousuke, and said urgently: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the rear hall troops can't stand it." The Eighth Route Army, which was attacking from the rear, had already caught up, and there were at least five or six hundred people. We're surrounded! ”。
"Nani? We're surrounded? Yoshikawa Yousuke said with a gloomy face, he didn't expect the other party to be able to judge his intentions so quickly, this time it was troublesome.
At this time, a series of bullets came in from outside, and several Japanese officers such as Yoshikawa Yusuke and Sekiguchi Ryotaro, who were on the battlefield, hugged their heads and bowed their heads.
"The Chinese army is coming so fast! Yaga! Yoshikawa Yousuke scolded in a low voice.
Ryotaro Sekiguchi, who was close to Yoshikawa Yousuke, said hurriedly: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, what should we do now?" The other side has launched a total attack! We are running out of ammunition, and we quickly estimated that the Imperial Allied Army and the rest of the Imperial Army were left with less than two hundred people left! I'm afraid it won't last long. ”。
"The siege force under the command of this new regiment is on a par with the first-line field divisions of the empire in terms of firepower and combat effectiveness. Nothing can be done, breaking out of the city can only become the prey of the Chinese cavalry. Immediately inform Itagaki Seishiro of our situation, and report to the captain that the 1st Squadron will defend the honor of the 24th Infantry Brigade to the death and will not surrender until death! Send it now, or it's too late! ”
After Yoshikawa Ukukke finished speaking, Ryotaro Sekiguchi knew that this was the dispatch of the farewell telegram.
With a secret sigh, Ryotaro Sekiguchi hurriedly called the only radio station in the Japanese squadron and sent a farewell telegram to the headquarters of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Itagaki Division, which was passing through the victory pass at this time, and another farewell telegram was also sent to the headquarters of the 24th Infantry Brigade of the 10th Brigade of the 10th Brigade of the Japanese 10th Division in Liangcheng.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao commanded five or six hundred soldiers of the new regiment to outflank the Xicheng gate on three sides, and launched a fierce attack on the remnants of the Japanese puppet army that occupied dozens of houses.
All of a sudden, shouts of killing were heard in several streets near the West Gate, and the buildings were deafening.
It's just the disadvantage of the troops, so that the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Toyojin commanded by Yoshikawa Yousuke were completely annihilated in less than six minutes after the total attack.
Among them, more than 20 Japanese puppet army officers such as Yoshikawa Yousuke were killed, 534 Japanese puppet army headquarters were killed, and a large number of guns and ammunition were seized, as well as some grain and grass.
At this time, at the moment when the Japanese army in Toyojin was annihilated, Seishiro Itagaki, who received a farewell telegram from Yoshikawa Yoshikawa in Toyojin, was passing by the victory pass, and he was also shocked at this time.
