Chapter 407: A big counterattack
Five minutes later, the meeting ended, Luo Feng led the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 3rd Regiment of the puppet army out of the east area of the city, and in the next battle, the 3rd regiment of the puppet army will be responsible for blocking the devils who are attacking from the direction of the east gate.
As soon as they arrived in the east of the city, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the puppet army began to call the door door door, so that the people in the east area of the city were immediately transferred, this will soon become a battlefield, and it will be too dangerous for the people to stay here.
All of a sudden, the entire eastern part of the city was filled with the cries of old people and children.
Looking at the chaotic and crowded streets, Luo Feng felt out a cigarette with a heavy heart, lit it, and smoked it silently, this scene in front of him reminded him of Nanjing, the battle of Nanjing half a year ago, it was also like this, the Japanese invaders entered the city, the people were cornered, and they flocked to the Xiaguan Wharf, and finally were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Japanese invaders.
However, this time their 88th Division will not make the same mistake again, at the beginning in Nanjing, their 88th Division did not perform the duties of a soldier, did not achieve coexistence with Nanjing, and caused 300,000 people in Nanjing to be slaughtered, and now, the remnants of their 88th Division must be able to live and die with Feicheng, if the little devils want to pass from the east of the city, there is only one way, that is, to step on their corpses.
Footsteps sounded, and Huang Zijie, the commander of the 3rd battalion, walked over.
Huang Zijie was originally the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the puppet army, but the puppet army of the 3rd battalion was the integrated Wancheng security team, and as soon as the battle started, he ran away, and now Huang Zijie has become the commander of the light pole battalion, Luo Feng simply kept him by his side as an adjutant, helping to run errands and convey orders.
Luo Feng said: "Zijie, let the brothers help the people transfer, the devil is about to speak." ”
"I have already commanded the brethren." Huang Zijie nodded, and said, "Yingzuo, Xu Rui let us go out of the eastern area of the city to block the front line of the devil's attack, but the main force of his independent regiment shrank behind to look at the diorama, which is obviously using our brothers from the 88th Division as cannon fodder!" ”
"I know." Luo Feng snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette he smoked, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui may not have consumed the remnants of our 88th Division and saved his intentions of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, but without Xu Rui's arrangement, shouldn't we fight this battle?" ”
Huang Zijie was silent, because Luo Feng was right, even without Xu Rui's arrangement, the remnants of their 88th Division would still have to fight this battle sooner or later, because the devils would not let them go obediently, if they wanted to leave, they had to fight with the devils, and they had to fight left and right, so why should they care if they were used?
Luo Feng said again: "Therefore, we must not only fight this battle, but also fight it well, we must play the prestige of the 88th Division, let their Communist troops take a good look, what is the real regular army, what is the real elite, and let them know that China's War of Resistance still depends on us!" Luo Feng didn't know that when he said this, it meant that he was no longer confident in the national army.
"Hmm." Huang Zijie nodded heavily and said, "Yingzuo, you are right, we have to fight this battle." ”
Luo Feng said again: "Xu Rui asked us to only guard the blocks on both sides, but let go of Dongmen Street and let the little devils pass, this is not believing in our combat effectiveness, so we prefer to guard Dongmen Street, so that the little devils cannot enter an inch, in this way, I will hand over the 1st Battalion, 1st Company and 2nd Battalion 3rd Company to you, and the task of guarding Dongmen Street will be handed over to you." ”
Huang Zijie snapped and said: "Don't worry, as long as I still have a breath of air, as long as there is a brother on the battlefield, don't think about it." ”
"Well, I believe you, go ahead." Luo Feng nodded.
Huang Zijie saluted Luo Feng and turned around.
(Dividing Line)
Crushed from the direction of the east gate was the devil reinforcements from the station and the Feidong stronghold, but there was a little Xu Rui who miscalculated, the devil put into the counterattack far more than three infantry brigades and another tank detachment, in fact, the devils who attacked from the east gate alone had three infantry brigades and a chariot detachment.
And the devils who have invested in the counterattack in total have a full five infantry brigades and a tank detachment!
These two extra infantry brigades were the supplementary corps that had just arrived in Feicheng last night, and these two infantry brigades were originally preparing to go north to Xuzhou to supplement the 9th and 13th divisions in the firing line, but they had just driven to Feicheng Station late last night, so Xu Rui didn't know.
These two suddenly extra supplementary brigades made the battle of Feicheng suddenly add many variables.
However, this is war, a brutal war, and there will always be unexpected changes.
The Central China Front Command of the Japanese Army still designated Sakamoto Kiyoshi as the commander of the Japanese army on the Hicheng side, because Sakamoto Kiyoshi was Nakasa, and he was the highest-ranking officer in the Japanese army in Feicheng except for Adachi Winga and Kawa Tetsuya, but Sakamoto Kiyoshi was trapped in the Hisai stronghold at this time, and he had no time to separate at all.
As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto appointed Tatani Jishaosa, the captain of the station garrison brigade, as the commander of the Japanese army on the East Road.
Tian Guji is a standard Japanese soldier, short stature, less than 1.60 meters tall, but he is very strong, a pair of small eyes are fierce, at first glance he is a ruthless person, in fact, this little devil went all the way from Shanghai to Anhui, and killed at least 50 innocent people.
The tactics of the Japanese army are very clear, that is, to attack from the east gate and the south gate at the same time, after the Japanese army on the east road breaks through the fortifications, the primary target is the arsenal, and after the Japanese army on the south road enters the city, the primary target is the oil depot, compared with the Feicheng garrison brigade headquarters, the arsenal and the oil depot are obviously more important.
After all, after so much time, most of the Feicheng Garrison Brigade Headquarters has been lost, and the possibility of still holding on is very small, so it is no longer important to rescue the Feicheng Garrison Brigade Headquarters, the important thing is to recapture the arsenal and oil depot.
Although Tatani had the strength of three infantry brigades, in addition to his own station garrison brigade, the other two supplementary brigades only had soldiers, and there were no officers and backbone veterans, and these soldiers were all new recruits from the country and had no combat experience.
Such two infantry brigades, of course, have no combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Tatani broke up these two infantry brigades and incorporated them into his station garrison brigade, and temporarily promoted all the officers of the station garrison brigade to one level, that is, the establishment of the garrison brigade was temporarily promoted to a garrison wing.
With the chariot detachment as the vanguard, the three infantry battalions launched an attack formation at the same time, and swooped towards the east gate of Feicheng with great momentum, but to Tatanaji's surprise, the Chinese did not fortify the city wall at the east gate, and even the city gate was open.
"Empty city?" Tian Guji happened to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
After another thought, Tian Guji immediately remembered that now is not the era of cold weapons, even if the Chinese sing the empty city plan, there is nothing to fear, and at that moment Tian Guji ordered the chariot detachment to suspend the attack, but pulled out a squadron from the 1st Infantry Brigade and entered the city gate first.
When this squadron of devils entered the city, they found that the city was dark and deadly silent.
It was already past three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock in the morning, and it was the darkest hour before dawn.
"Flares!" As soon as the leader of the devil's squadron gave the order, a grenadier fired two flares, and the flares roared into the sky, illuminating a radius of 500 meters in an instant, and the entire Dongmen Avenue in front of him, as well as the street scenes on both sides of the street, were presented to the devils without reservation.
I saw that fifty meters ahead, the Chinese used bricks, door panels and solid wood furniture to build a fortification blocking the street, and about a dozen Chinese soldiers squatted behind the fortifications, and almost at the same time that the little devils saw the Chinese soldiers clearly, the Chinese officers and soldiers guarding behind the fortifications also opened fire.
Seeing the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side firing, without waiting for the devil squadron leader to give an order, more than 100 devils fell down one after another, and the two Type 92 heavy machine guns of the machine gun squad and the three crooked light machine guns of each squad were also set up as soon as possible and fired at the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side.
The firepower of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side was suppressed in an instant.
Immediately after that, the three grenadier groups set up grenadiers, and only heard the three "tom tom tom" three sounds, and the three grenades were already roaring into the air, and the strong light of the flares covered the trajectory of the grenade, and the fierce gunfire also covered up the screams made by the grenade when it flew, so the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side were unaware.
A second later, three grenades landed on the Chinese soldiers' positions and exploded.
In the violent explosion, the Chinese soldiers' makeshift fortifications with bricks, wooden planks, and solid wood furniture were instantly blown apart, and more than a dozen Chinese soldiers hiding behind the fortifications were also blown to pieces, and the Chinese fortifications were destroyed in less than a dozen seconds.
The corners of the devil squadron leader's mouth immediately showed a smug smile.
The legendary Dameishan Independent Regiment doesn't seem to be very good, right? It's really incomprehensible, how could the Kawaguchi detachment be completely annihilated by such a unit with low tactical literacy?
The leader of the devil squadron drew his saber and raised it forward, and the devils of the squad immediately got up, held the 38 big cover, and swooped down the street.
However, at this moment, on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street and behind the windows on the first and second floors, countless Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared, and in the next moment, these Chinese soldiers opened fire fiercely at the same time, and in an instant, the dense rain of bullets had completely covered more than 50 devils who rushed into the street.
"Yaga!" The devil squadron leader's facial muscles began to twitch violently, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had fallen for the Chinese, and he raised his sword and yelled, "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw quickly......
However, at this time, it was too late to remember that it was too late to retreat, and under the cover of the dense crossfire of the Chinese, the infantry squad that had thrown into the attack quickly fell in a pool of blood, and none of the more than fifty devils could withdraw with all their beards and tails.
