Chapter 255: The Battle of Teng County (9)
Wang Mingzhang knew that the beautiful blueprint he had built for everyone would not last long, but he never expected that this time would be so short.
At dawn on the 17th, the devil deliberately put in the news: all the Sichuan troops outside Tengxian who intended to break through to the city were killed.
For the little devil's news, everyone didn't choose to fully believe it, because the devil had the intention of exaggerating the war exploits to attack the defenders in the city, but from last night to now, the soldiers outside the city who should have broken through to the county according to the plan did not see a single one.
Everyone was silent, and the facts were already very clear, these troops outside the city failed to enter the city after all, and most of them were blocked alive by the Japanese army on the outskirts of Teng County, and even suffered unimaginable blows.
"Master!"
At the head of the city wall, Zhao Weixian, who was accompanying the division commander Wang Mingzhang, smiled bitterly.
Wang Mingzhang said: "Weixian, what's wrong? ”
"The devils are about to launch a general attack, and their attack this time will definitely be even more terrifying, but we ...... Not only have the troops not been replenished, but most of the original 3,000-plus troops have been lost in yesterday's defense of the city, which is probably ......"
"Scared?"
"No, I just want to know how long we're going to have to go."
"Townenburg should be ......"
"Master, don't deceive yourself, what Tang Enbo's troops, the current situation is already so critical, but I haven't seen half a shadow of them, I'm afraid they won't come at all."
"Alas!"
In front of his old partner, Wang Mingzhang's spirit finally relaxed, he sighed, and then patted Zhao Weixian's shoulder and said, "Weixian, as soldiers, we have no choice. ”
……
At dawn on the 17th, the Japanese army launched an attack on Teng County, and the devils continued to besiege the county with 8 heavy guns of 15 tons, more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles.
Fifty or sixty enemy planes bombed the city indiscriminately, and the bombardment stopped for a while, and their artillery rows fired in unison, and the shells that were as dense as a torrential rain poured frantically, and in the next instant, the entire corner of the county town was filled with gunpowder smoke except for the location of the American church.
The flames are soaring to the sky, the broken walls are ruined, and the scenes of mourning can be seen everywhere, and the county town of Teng County is precarious, and it seems that although it may collapse.
And just after a burst of overwhelming bombardment, at about 6 o'clock, the Japanese army began to attack towards Dongguan in Tengxian County.
The devil's offensive method is very old-fashioned, still using the method of the day before yesterday, using artillery to bombard the city wall out of a gap, and then using tanks to open the way to cover the infantry to charge to the gap, at the same time, the Japanese artillery fire to the entire line of Dongguan and the city carried out intermittent bombardment, in order to contain the temporary movement of the defenders of Tengxian County and the reinforcement of the rear line.
In addition, the devil's fighter jets flew all over the sky like crows, frantically firing at low altitudes.
When Han Xin and Lu Tingfeng arrived at the gap in the south gate of the city wall, the more than 300 commandos of the devils had already begun to climb the city under the cover of powerful artillery fire, but they were repelled by the defenders with rifles and grenades, and suffered heavy losses.
The little devil also realized that if he attacked strongly, the losses would be extremely heavy, so he quickly changed his strategy and attacked towards the gap in the city gate.
The gap is very large, Han Xin and the others were also taken aback when they arrived, it was more than two zhang long, and a large number of devils' troops began to gather here, the situation was extremely bad, even Lu Tingfeng was glad that he arrived in time, and he was supported by Han Xin.
Otherwise, when the little devil really comes in through the gap, the result is really unimaginable.
"Kill!"
Lu Tingfeng's voice suddenly sounded, and the brothers of the 388th Regiment led by Han Xin also joined the battle in an instant, and immediately gave the Sulian soldiers who were still stubbornly defending the courage.
"Little devil, I'll rub your uncle!"
A platoon commander of the 388th Regiment was extremely brave, and he had been personally guided by Han Xin on weekdays, and he was a little more sophisticated in assassination techniques, he quickly dodged to avoid the little devil's sprint, and then grabbed the devil's hair in the sideways, and pulled it violently, the little devil's hair was torn off along with a piece of scalp, bloody, and extremely eye-catching.
And in the midst of the devil's painful howl, the platoon commander stabbed him violently, directly hitting the devil's neck, and the surging blood spurted out more than ten centimeters high.
Such a tragic scene would definitely be terrifying in later generations, but in this war era when people would die at any time, you will be horrified to find that even the most ordinary soldier can be unfazed, and he has long been accustomed to it.
"Kaizi, quickly build a machine gun fire point!"
"The devils attacked quickly, and immediately after this wave of white-knuckle battles, they organized a grenade group to bomb with a cluster grenade situation, and they must stop the devil's follow-up charge.
In the rear, immediately arrange sandbag fortifications, abandon the gap after fifteen minutes, and use the fortifications as a firing point to block the devils who enter the open area through the gap. ”
Han Xin roared angrily, but between life and death, he was extremely calm, giving orders in an orderly manner, and on his side, Lu Tingfeng had already been stunned, whether it was the terrifying combat power of the 388th Regiment that erupted with only one hundred and ten people, or Han Xin's on-the-spot command ability, it was far beyond his expectations.
But the little devil is not stupid, after being frantically blocked at the gap, he immediately sent another part to attack the southeast corner, and the same tactics worked in front of the Sichuan army troops with extremely backward equipment.
Half an hour later, a large gap was blown open in the southeast corner of the city, and the devils frantically poured in, and an infantry company guarding here blew up the two tanks that charged with cluster grenades, killing fifty or sixty devils, but the devils' cover fire was extremely fierce, and in just a few minutes, the company was killed and wounded.
On Han Xin and Lu Tingfeng's side, the news also came quickly, "Brigade commander, the enemy in the southeast corner blew up the city wall, and Company Commander Zhang couldn't resist it desperately, and the little devil has now rushed in." ”
"What, how's that brand new one?" Lu Tingfeng was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Company commander, he ...... All the officers and soldiers of the company sacrificed their lives for the country! ”
Rumble! Lu Tingfeng staggered, Han Xinyan quickly supported him, and then said: "Brigade Commander, in this way, I will leave thirty people here to block, Kaizi, you take the other brothers to follow Brigade Commander Lu over, and everything is under the command of Brigade Commander Lu!" ”
"Yes!" Wu Kai took the order.
Lu Tingfeng was not pretentious, nodded at Han Xin and then ran away with the people.
…… In this way, after five or six hours of fierce fighting with the enemy in the morning, the devils who attacked from both sides were repelled under the joint efforts of Han Xin and Lu Tingfeng.
By noon, the two sides temporarily suspended the battle, and the devil was ready to launch a new offensive again, while Han Xin and the others also took advantage of the gap to adjust their deployment, preparing for a more intense new battle.
