Taoyuan Town, the name of an almost rotten street, has at least hundreds of towns with the same name and surname in China. As for the culprit, it is Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty which song "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". This poem, which represents the Chinese people's yearning for a peaceful and contented life, has been widely sung, and it has created so many Taoyuan towns.

You can't live and work in peace and contentment, but you must also have a hometown called living and working in peace and contentment.

To the southeast of Linyi, there is also a Taoyuan town here.

Because of its proximity to Linyi, an important town in southern Lunan, this Taoyuan town has a good economic development, a fairly dense population, and many new buildings in the center of the town.

At this time, this town became the focus of both China and Japan.

······

"Didn't take it?"

The second captain of the Japanese army coming to the rear of Taoyuan Town southeast of Linyi was stunned, and asked the captain in front of him.

"Yes, the hotel in the center of the town is still in the hands of the enemy, and besides, the losses in this attack are quite large, and the entire Kuji team has been destroyed, including the team leader Naoto Naoto, and no one survives."

And the captain's answer made the goat Erleng add flute.

"You... In again? ”

"The commanding heights hotel in the center of the town is still in the hands of the enemy, and the Kuji team responsible for guarding the hotel has all been wiped out, and I and Kuban Kazuko's team have also suffered heavy losses, each of them suffering nearly half of the casualties."

Captain Fumio Fukuda vaguely felt bad, and the painful experience in the past made his body subconsciously lean back slightly, but he still stubbornly said.

Sluggish and frozen on his face, Squadron Leader Lai Goat II looked at the two captains in front of him who were covered with traces of gunsmoke, he was not as angry as before at this time, and he was still trying to digest the news at this time.

The Kuji team, a full-fledged army squad of 62 men, was equipped with three infantry detachments and one grenadier detachment, armed with three light machine guns, three grenadiers, and fifty-six rifles.

This is a team that has been on the front line for a long time, followed him through many battles, has strong combat effectiveness, outstanding achievements, and is the most combat-effective team in his squadron, so he will be entrusted with the important task of guarding the commanding heights of the center of the town, a hotel, a new hotel building made of concrete bricks.

And this hotel was captured by the Jiuji team a few years ago.

The squadron leader remembered very well that before nightfall tonight, the Jiushi team, which had just been supplemented and repaired, was very complete, with a theoretical establishment of 62 people and an actual establishment of 59 people, and the loss of three ordinary privates and the loss of the main fire support at all.

Goat II looked at the watch on his wrist.

Time: Half past twelve. The night attack of the Republic of China army began as usual.

That is, in just four hours of fighting, one of his main forces was completely wiped out, and there was not a single one left.

Is the attacking Republic of China army so strong?

If the army of the Republic of China is very strong in combat and has a large number of people, why is the town still in their hands?

And, as he listened, the town was silent, except for the occasional gunshots and explosions in the distance.

For a while, the goat was puzzled, and this doubt even made him forget his usual temper.

"What are the casualties of your team"

After thinking silently for a long time, Goat II asked.

"13 people were killed, 7 were seriously wounded, 10 were slightly wounded, and 34 people were able to fight"

"21 people were killed, 4 were seriously wounded, 11 were slightly wounded, and 33 were able to fight"

The two captains replied in turn that their squadron had suffered heavy losses in night battles and had not been replenished recently, so the combat attrition was large.

"And 117 more"

Come to Goat No. 2 Middle School and talk to himself silently.

His squadron was a reinforced squadron with four infantry squadrons, one baggage squadron, two heavy machine-gun detachments. It was also armed with a 90-caliber heavy mortar and half an artillery team accompanying the guns. After a series of battles, one of his teams had been withdrawn by this time, and the rest were formed into reserves together with the baggage team, and half of the artillery team was stationed in the rear for repairs. The role of night mortars was limited, and he did not put it out.

So at this time, he had only 117 troops at his disposal.

"What is the enemy's strength at the Central Hotel?"

To be able to destroy him in a full formation, either the enemy is very strong, the strength is far superior to a team, or the enemy is also extremely heavy losses, Lai Goat Er thought in his heart, if the enemy is not numerous, he will put all the troops at once to attack this commanding height, and then deploy the squadron's two heavy machine guns here, as long as the commanding heights are occupied and the firepower is deployed, the enemy can rest easy unless the enemy attacks several times the strength of his squadron.

"There shouldn't be a lot of people, but the enemy firepower is very strong, especially the grenades," said Captain Kazuko Kubashi, whose team lost twenty-one casualties, half of which were killed by grenades while trying to attack the Central Hotel.

"This group of defenders seems to have plenty of grenades, and my attack is completely driven by the rain of grenades," said Kazumitsu Hisaka who couldn't help but shudder, he recalled the rain of grenades with hundreds of rounds, which still makes his heart palpitate. He was in a state of embarrassment, thanks to the rain of grenades.

"Plenty of grenades?"

Lai Goat Er thought about it in his heart.

Night attack, it is difficult to attack from a distance, so it can only be hand-to-hand, in this case, close-range throwing weapons can play a great role, if the enemy has a large number of grenades, then the night attack will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, in the case of having lost half of the troops, he does not dare to attack rashly at night.

The house of the Central Hotel is very strong, even a 90-mm mortar can hardly destroy its main structure, and it is now night, the shelling is inconvenient, and the organization of close-range blasting is easy to suppress back by the grenade fire of the opponent.

Then he called a new captain.

This is his reserve team, captain Kujo is second from the right, and it is the remnants of the baggage team and the fourth team that are merged.

Then he came to Goat Er to spread out the map of Taoyuan Town, pointed to the Central Central Hotel, and said to the three captains.

"This place has been occupied by an unknown number of enemies, considering that the enemy uses a large number of grenades, and the casualties of the night attack will be large, so it is scheduled to attack tomorrow morning"

"Now that the attacking Republic of China troops on both sides of the hotel have retreated, the nine teams are responsible for occupying the central route of the town, blocking between the central hotel and the enemy, and preventing enemy reinforcements, I will deploy a heavy machine gun to you for fire support, and you must also pay attention to alerting the enemy in the central hotel to prevent them from launching a surprise attack."

"The Jiuban team is responsible for the street on the right side of the town, and the Futian team occupies the street on the left"

"The attack time is set at half past six in the morning, the Kujo team is responsible for the attack, and the Kuban team and the Hifukuda team shrink the defense at the same time to prevent the enemy from reinforcing them."

Hi Hi Hi · The three captains took the order.
