Chapter 92: The Offensive Is Temporarily Coming to an End (First Update!) )
At this moment, the 358th Regiment suffers from the lack of heavy firepower, but the light firepower weapons, such as the configuration of the light machine gun, are only stronger than the little devils; Not to mention that in the previous white-knuckle battle, hundreds of little devil officers and soldiers were killed, and a lot of weapons and equipment were captured from them.
At this moment, as the army of little devils approached, the advantage of light firepower on the side of the 358th Regiment was suddenly reflected.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da-"
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang-"
On the ruined city head, among the collapsed city walls, where can be used as a defensive position, there are soldiers of the 358th Regiment.
Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment, and Bai Ruyong, the commander of the 414th Regiment, came to the front line of the battlefield to direct the battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
As the commander of the first battalion, Qian Bojun, led his soldiers into the city and joined the battle, on the city wall and among the ruins, the firepower of the 358th Regiment suddenly intensified.
The distance of about 200 meters from the city wall, under the suppression of the powerful firepower of the 358th Regiment, became a death dividing line, but all the little devil officers and soldiers who dared to charge forward died under the guns of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment and the 414th Regiment.
Under the brazen counterattack of the officers and men of the 358th Regiment and the 414th Regiment, the casualties on the side of the little devils increased sharply, and the attack was also blocked at this moment.
Among them, the Japanese army pressed all the tanks and combat vehicles to the north gate, as many as 13, in order to be able to directly enter the city from the north gate in one go, and annihilate the 358th and 414th regiments in the city in one fell swoop.
But with the miraculous artillery technique of Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th regiment, after the eight infantry artillery shells actually destroyed the six tank fighting vehicles of the little devil, the remaining tank fighting vehicles were suddenly frightened to stop the car, turn around, and retreat back in an "S" shaped route.
The station tank and chariot that acted as a shield all ran away, and the little devil officers and soldiers behind and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Association could only turn around and flee.
Above the city, the officers and men of the 358th Regiment and the 414th Regiment were in full swing, and there was a burst of fierce fire on the backs of the little devils and the Imperial Cooperative Army, and many slow little devils and the Imperial Cooperative Army were shot and fell to the ground.
It wasn't until these little devils and the Imperial Allied Army ran out of range that the officers and men of the 358th and 414th regiments stopped firing.
Looking at the army of little devils in the distance, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and at the same time treat the soldiers who were injured by bullets.
In the rear, it was independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade Regiment Supervisory War Department.
The brigade commander Naono Goro, who was in charge of personally supervising the battle, couldn't help but be greatly surprised when he saw his subordinates retreating in a hurry and returning defeated, and directly summoned Ueno Sataro, the commander of the 2nd Independent Infantry Wing who was responsible for directing the attack.
"Ueno-kun, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation; Even if you were defeated by the 358th Regiment in the city before, why did the carefully prepared offensive operations now, and even the air support of the aviation unit, still fail to work? Goro Naono looked at his subordinate Ueno Sataro with a gloomy face and asked.
Ueno Sataro Osa hurriedly straightened his body, and replied with some trepidation: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, please calm your anger, this time it is not that the humble duty is not ill-planned, but the tenacity of the defenders is beyond the imagination of the humble duty and the attacking troops under his command!" They were completely different from the previous inferior and tactically backward Chinese army.
They were well-armed, tactically well coordinated, with intensive firepower, and also equipped with sophisticated anti-tank guns, and had extremely good gunners, the Imperial Army tanks covering our attack, in less than ten minutes, were hit by the accurate artillery fire of their artillery, and destroyed six in succession!
This is the main reason for the failure of our attack!"
When the chief of staff, Shizuo Nakamura, heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "You mean, now the Chinese army in Yanggao City is equipped with anti-tank guns?"
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Ueno Kamepu nodded.
"As far as I know, the advanced equipment of anti-tank guns can only be equipped by the most elite Central Army in the Chinese Army, such as the 88th and 87th Divisions and the Central Teaching Corps, which are Jiang Zhi's descendants!
Although the 358th Regiment was the most elite ace unit of the Jin Sui Army, when they rushed into the city before, they were lightly armed, not to mention heavy firepower weapons such as anti-tank guns, and almost did not even carry heavy machine guns. Koto Megumi frowned and said, "As for the 414th Regiment in the city, if they had anti-tank guns, they had used them before, how could they wait until now?"
"I don't know much about this, but our tanks were destroyed six in succession, this is an indisputable fact, if it is not for the timely retreat, the last seven tanks are afraid that they will also be buried under the shells of the enemy army in China.
So, in order to reduce casualties, I had to lead my troops to retreat temporarily! ”
"If this is the case, then Ueno-kun, your choice is undoubtedly very wise, otherwise even if our army can rush into the city and annihilate all the enemy troops inside, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which we are not willing to see and accept."
"Yaga! Nakamura-kun, that's what you said yesterday, and it turned out to be dragged until enemy reinforcements arrived; In the end, not only did the casualties be heavier, but also failed to capture the county seat. ”
At this moment, hearing these words from the mouth of the chief of staff, Shizuo Nakamura, the brigade commander Goro Naono couldn't help but be furious.
"Everything is for the sake of me to independently mix into the second brigade, and please ask Your Excellency the General to know clearly!" The chief of staff, Shizuo Nakamura, looked frightened and hurriedly bowed in reply.
"What I need is results!"
The scene fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone didn't even dare to take a breath of air, almost hearing a pin.
"Your Excellency, General, I believe that it is not a wise choice to continue the offensive at this moment, and we should continue to ask the command for help and ask for support from the aviation forces."
After a long time, Shizuo Nakamura spoke again, breaking the silence in front of him.
Naono Goro frowned, although he was unwilling to ask for support again, otherwise he would have a dull face even if he captured Yanggao County.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to call for help.
"The aviation unit is stationed in Zhangjiakou, and when they fly back now, I'm afraid that it will be dark."
"Your Excellency General, then it's better for us to continue the siege tomorrow!"
"How?" Goro Naono asked.
"Your Excellency General, don't forget, the 358th Regiment of China is responsible for guarding Tianzhen, and at this moment, they are waving their troops to support Yanggao, Tianzhen must be empty, and General Sakai Hoji has led the team to kill Tianzhen again.
If you have to be anxious at the moment, it should be the 358th Regiment of Zhina, unless they don't even want Tianzhen!
Therefore, he even suspected that the 358th Regiment would break through tonight and either drive back to Tianzhen or flee in the direction of Datong.
Otherwise, once Tianzhen is lost, Yanggao will not have any strategic role at all. ”
"Yo Si! There's some truth to your analysis! Strengthen the guards, and we must not let this group of damned officers and soldiers escape from Yanggao County at night. ”
"Haya!"
