Chapter 128: The Turtle in the Urn

Yes, Wing Captain! Fukusheng Shinjiro also immediately responded to the road, and then waved his hand to deploy the attack to strengthen the force.

Takashi Kawamoto could see through the binoculars that the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the wing attacking on the right flank had entered the city from the gap in the wall east of Kezhen, and the first and third battalions of the new regiment at the head of the city had been defeated and were retreating to the west of Kezhen.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of the third battalion of Li Yunlong's department is really overestimated!

"Wing Commander, you see, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which is mainly attacking the front, is also taking advantage of the situation and is almost about to break through the enemy's defense! But the west of the town is also making rapid progress, and it seems that the enemy army did not expect our combat effectiveness to be so strong! Shinjiro Fukusheng put down the binoculars in his hand and said excitedly to Takashi Kawamoto.

Takashi Kawamoto nodded, and saw through the telescope that the three Japanese brigades attacking Kezhen had suddenly broken the enemy's defensive line. And the breakthrough east of Kezhen should have made the commander of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Kezhen not expect that things would become so fast!

So much so that once the east of Kezhen is lost, it will not be difficult for Kezhen to be recaptured by its own side.

The most important thing now is how to eat all this Eighth Route Army troops!

"Order the artillery squadron, increase the artillery bombardment, and bomb me hard! Order the heavy machine gun squadron to all go up, suppress the fire, and be sure to entangle the other side! ”

Takashi Kawamoto said with a serious expression, Li Yunlong's troops have not yet been killed by the Japanese army on such a large scale. Now it is possible to be annihilated by the 102nd Infantry Wing about a regiment of troops, although it is nominally a battalion, but it is enough to show that Takashi Kawamoto is lucky.

Naturally, Takashi Kawamoto didn't want to give up the credit he had received!

"Please rest assured, Wing Captain, we have entered the city from the east of Kezhen, and this enemy force will not be able to escape!"

Fukusheng Shinjiro laughed arrogantly and said, once the city garrisoned by the Chinese army is broken through a gap by the Japanese army, it will be difficult to hold the city in the next battle!

Fukusheng Shinjiro has this self-confidence, after all, the 102nd Infantry Wing also won Suiyuan Liangcheng, Fengzhen and other places, and made great achievements, and many cities were won in this way.

Takashi Kawamoto also laughed, empathizing with Shinjiro Fukusei's words, which is a natural thing.

It's just that what the two old devils don't know is that if the three battalions east of the town were not in accordance with Ma Wenhai's orders, how could they be able to be attacked by the little devils after several attacks while occupying the city wall?

"Battalion commander, the position east of Kezhen has been abandoned according to your order, and the troops defending east of Kezhen have withdrawn. The troops south of Kezhen also followed the plan, leaving a small army behind, and the rest of the main force had already assembled to the west of Kezhen! But the devil's pursuit is fast, we have to hurry! From the current point of view, Takashi Kawamoto has not noticed any sign that we have deliberately abandoned the position east of Kezhen and let them easily attack! ”

In the temporary battalion headquarters of the third battalion, a battalion staff officer reported to Ma Wenhai.

Ma Wenhai also saw the fierce battle from the telescope at this time, and he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, it was worthy of being a devil unit under the jurisdiction of the 26th Division of the Little Devil, and its combat effectiveness was still very strong.

In particular, its artillery fire preceded the charge of its devil infantry and the fierce artillery fire was fierce, trying to suppress its own mortar troops, forcing the mortar positions of the third battalion to be moved.

"Order all the troops, according to the plan, the third company is responsible for blocking the rear of the palace. Let the three companies pay attention, and after blocking it fiercely, they pretend to be embarrassed and move to the Daqing Mountain area! Five minutes later, the divisions followed the plan, fighting and retreating! Ma Wenhai smashed his fist on the map, the time has come, if he continues to fight in Kezhen, the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Matsui Ishine will be nearly 30,000 people in Kezhen in a short time.

When the time comes, the three battalions that lured the enemy will not be able to leave!

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The battalion staff officer immediately replied, and then hurriedly ordered all units to carry out the order.

At this time, the battle to lure the enemy has been going on for nearly ten minutes, and with the addition of blocking the attack of the little devils, it will take time to completely evacuate Kezhen and fight and retreat.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ma Wenhai to fight in Kezhen for more than twenty minutes. Otherwise, the main force of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, commanded by Matsui Ishone, who was chasing from the Xinghe area, would have rushed to Kezhen. It will be a little difficult to leave at that time, so Ma Wenhai must make the decision to withdraw from Kezhen in time.

Although Takashi Kawamoto commanded the Japanese 102nd Infantry Wing to attack all parts of the third battalion to the death, Ma Wenhai's troops were the third battalion in the early stage of the five main battalions under Li Yunlong's command, and they were well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, there were at least 300 soldiers in the hands of the third battalion, who were armed with Jinzao submachine guns and some submachine guns that captured the little devils, and the firepower was strong, and the devils of the 102nd Infantry Wing of Takashi Kawamoto suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Faced with the signs that Ma Wenhai's troops were about to withdraw, Takashi Kawamoto was also anxious, and urgently ordered the devils of his artillery squadron to use all infantry guns and mortars to block the bombardment.

"Baga Ya Road! The enemy is going to run! "The situation on the battlefield came at any time, and the progress of the various departments found that the various departments under Ma Wenhai's jurisdiction had already shown signs of gathering and retreating to the west of Kezhen, and Kawamoto Takashi roared urgently.

The chief of staff of the wing on the side, Shinjiro Fukusheng, advised: "Wing commander, this enemy army must be left behind. Once we are able to eat one of Li Yunlong's battalions, which is actually the strength of a regiment, we will be developed by then, and we will inevitably be famous in the front army headquarters and the commander of the Okabe! This is something that even Yoshio Shinozuka didn't succeed in! ”。

"Hmmm! Order the infantry brigades, let go of your hands and feet, and kill me! Kawamoto nodded, don't have any scruples at this time, entangle this Eighth Route Army unit that is about to run, if it can completely annihilate its troops, it will definitely be able to deal a great blow to Li Yunlong's arrogance!

"Hay, Wing Commander, deploy immediately!"

Fukusheng Shinjiro was also extremely excited, if the 102nd Infantry Wing could eat one of Li Yunlong's battalions first, which was actually a regimental unit, then in the face of the main force of the 3rd Division that Matsui Ishine was about to arrive, the 102nd Infantry Wing would also have the capital to show off.

Takashi Kawamoto is also a little happy in his heart, if he can completely annihilate this Eighth Route Army unit that counterattacks Kezhen, then he Takashi Kawamoto should have a lot of rewards after the war. Well, maybe you can even be promoted to brigade commander! It's a little exciting to think about!

With Kawamoto Takashi's pursuit order, nearly 3,900 little devils of the 102nd Infantry Wing threw off their feet and chased after Ma Wenhai's headquarters, and went straight to the nameless basin set up by Li Yunlong in Daqingshan.

Along the way, Ma Wenhai also commanded the post department to concentrate a large number of troops from time to time to block the pursuit of the devils, which attracted the Kawamoto Takashi department to death.

It wasn't until the 102nd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army chased into a basin that Takashi Kawamoto, who was a little excited about the pursuit, saw the nameless basin he had entered in the pursuing Japanese army, and an inexplicable fear suddenly appeared in his heart.

"It's so quiet, the hills and woods around this basin! If both ends of this basin are blocked, it will be the situation of the turtle in the urn! The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and Takashi Kawamoto ordered the devil troops to stop pursuing!
