What are these three company commanders doing for food, and they can't hold on after only four hours of fighting.

Wanping City, which was properly defended, was lost in such a short period of time, which was indeed greatly beyond Jin Zhenzhong's expectations, and in his opinion, it was relatively easy for Wanping City to hold on for a few days.

Wanping City is lost, isn't this side of Lugou Bridge equivalent to suffering from the enemy on the back?

Under the enemy's two-way attack, the Lugou Bridge is dangerous.

"Battalion commander, the fourth company commander has been killed, and the fifth company commander is leading the brothers to fight desperately in the streets of Wanping City to stop the Japanese army."

"it, little Japanese is really too deceitful!"

Jin Zhenzhong scolded angrily, thinking of a plan to deal with it, and now it is really a mess.

The battle situation was not something that a small lieutenant colonel could predict, just half an hour ago, under the heavy bombardment of the devil fighters, the soldiers of the fourth company guarding the west tower of Wanping City were almost all killed without firing a few shots.

The tanks of the Kwantung Army smashed open the city gate and drove directly into Wanping City.

Under the fierce attack of the Kwantung Army, the soldiers of the Fifth Company who had set up cards in Wanping City had no power to return to the sky.

is just desperately resisting with the help of a special position, the purpose is to delay the pace of the devil's attack.

But the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, assisted by tanks, were walking on the ground, and any cover was useless for this iron shell, so the troops advanced very smoothly.

Even if they encounter a small group of Chinese troops, they can easily solve it without any pressure.

"What about the people of the city? Have they all been evacuated? Jin Zhenzhong hurriedly asked the staff officer.

At present, this is the problem he is most concerned about, once the devils attack the city, the people in the city will not be in danger, and the people must be evacuated safely.

It is his duty and responsibility to protect the personal safety of the people in the city.

"The commander of the third company is leading the soldiers to organize the evacuation, which will estimate that most of the people have already left the city."

"Li Dahai! Li Dahai! ”

After listening to the staff officer's answer, Jin Zhenzhong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called his guard platoon commander.

"Here! What are the instructions of the battalion commander? ”

Li Dahai had just helped the soldiers of the second company to carry a wounded man onto a stretcher, and when he heard Jin Zhenzhong shouting to himself, he immediately ran over.

"Take your guard platoon with me, let's go to Wanping City to have a look. Staff Officer Liu, you continue to send telegrams to the regiment headquarters and division headquarters, asking them to send additional troops to support. Jin Zhenzhong arranged.

"Yes."

"Yes."

After receiving Jin Zhenzhong's order, Li Dahai and Staff Officer Liu split up and began to act.

Under the leadership of Jin Zhenzhong, the soldiers of the guard platoon quickly rushed to Wanping City.

Zhang Fei, who took over the position of a company, originally wanted to lead the brothers to repel a wave of Kwantung Army attacks, but he really thought too much.

The tanks of the Kwantung Army were already closing in, and his fighters were powerless to fight back.

Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang.

The sound of gunfire, cannons, motors, screams, all kinds of sounds on the battlefield are intertwined.

War is a huge meat grinder, every second someone is shot and killed, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.

After several rounds of fierce firefighting, although the soldiers of the second company killed dozens of Kwantung Army soldiers, their own situation was not much better, and almost half of the casualties were lost.

Zhang Fei shouted at the soldiers who were still firing: "Stop fighting, retreat, retreat!" Fast! ”

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Zhang Fei immediately ordered to withdraw to the second line of defense.

The task assigned by the battalion commander has been completed, and there is no need for him to continue to entangle with the Kwantung Army.

Zhang Fei knew that if he dragged it any further, he would probably be wiped out today, and he saw that the Japanese tanks had entered the trenches at the front of his side.

Because there was Yosuke Takeda's supreme order there, the officers in charge of directing the attack did not dare to slack off and did not increase the number of attackers.

After several days of careful preparations, the Kwantung Army now has sufficient manpower, weapons, ammunition, and provisions, so their attack posture is becoming more and more fierce.

In the temporary headquarters of the front line of the North China Garrison Army.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 11th Infantry Brigade under the 3rd Wing has entered Wanping City under the cover of the chariot squadron, and the Captain of the 11th Brigade, Kota Miyata, is cleaning up the remnants of the Chinese army in the city."

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 9th and 10th Infantry Brigades under the 3rd Wing have broken the defenders of the first line of defense of the Chinese army in the direction of the Lugou Bridge under the cover of the tank squadron, and at present the commander of the 3rd Wing, Yusuke Uematsu, is organizing an attack on the second line of defense of the Chinese army."

The two staff officers separately gave an impassioned update to Yosuke Takeda on the latest battle situation, and there was no doubt that these were two great pieces of good news for the Kwantung Army.

According to this speed of attack, it is completely certain that the Lugou Bridge will be taken tomorrow.

After listening to the staff officer's report, Yosuke Takeda's expression on his face did not change too obviously, and his face was still gloomy.

He was not very happy, because he was not satisfied with this speed of the troops.

The Kwantung Army launched its offensive under favorable conditions of joint operations of the air force, artillery, and tanks, while the enemy on the opposite side was a motley unit of the Kuomintang.

As a "veteran driver" Yosuke Takeda, who personally commanded the 128 Incident, this kind of record is difficult for him to accept.

The two infantry wings, assisted by artillery units, flying groups, and tank squadrons, could not hold the small Lugou Bridge, so wouldn't they become the laughing stock of everyone in the future?

Of course, Yosuke Takeda's ambitions were not limited to Wanping Castle and Lugou Bridge, but to the entire region of North China, including Beiping, the political center at the time.

He walked quickly to the sand table and took a closer look, moving a few bamboo sticks.

He said to the staff officer: "Go and telegraph Uematsu Daisa, tell his troops to continue the attack, and be sure to take the Lugou Bridge before dark." In addition, the 11th Infantry Brigade that had already entered Wanping City immediately withdrew and was stationed outside Wanping City for repair. Order the artillery outside the city to temporarily evacuate their posts, and later someone will take over their artillery positions. ”

"Hey."

The staff officer didn't understand what Takeda's move meant, Wanping City had obviously been taken down, why did he give up like this?

And the artillery is going to be withdrawn, regardless of the artillery? Why is that?

Although he was puzzled, the staff officer didn't dare to ask more, so he still went to send a report according to Takeda's order.

Because he knows that Takeda is an "old driver", he must have his own reasons for doing so.

After Takeda finished arranging the mission, he came out of the makeshift command post and walked into another room.

"It's all arranged, the infantry has been withdrawn from Wanping City, and all the artillery is under your command, you can go over now."

Looking in the direction in which Takeda spoke, there was a thin man sitting on the sofa in the room.

This person was wearing a military uniform that didn't look very ill-fitting, and he had the rank of Shaozo on his shoulders.
