Chapter 866: Laiyuan County is lost
The independent garrison suffered a blow from the 4th Regiment of Honor, and even the 5th detachment of the 120th Division began to be put into operation, and the situation of the independent garrison was getting worse and worse.
After hearing the sound of heavy gunfire coming from the direction of Baijiazhuang Town, Tahara Kuohai realized that it was not safe to retreat to Baijiazhuang Town.
The Type 89 tanks of the 1st Armored Battalion and the 3rd Armored Battalion were constantly attacking in the rear and on both sides, shells and bullets were constantly attacking.
Tahara Kuokai could feel that there were fewer and fewer Japanese officers and soldiers around him, and he could only move forward mechanically.
"Your Excellency, General Now, we must abandon our plan to go to Baijiazhuang Town, and we should order our troops to disperse and break out immediately. Baijiazhuang Town has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, if we go to Baijiazhuang Town, won't we be sent to death. ”
The chief of staff of the independent garrison, Hattori Chiaki, came to Tahara Kuokai, and Hattori Chiaki looked at Tahara Hiromi with a solemn expression on his face and said.
Tahara Kuokai frowned, before he could give an order, a shell was fired directly from the Type 89 tank.
This shell fell on Tahara Kuohai's side again, and the surrounding devil soldiers immediately covered Tahara Kuohai and hidden, but Hattori Chiaki was killed on the spot.
The roar of the tank was clearly audible, and Tahara Kuokai looked around, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Your Excellency General, the First Garrison Brigade sent a farewell message, the Shina Tank Force, with the cooperation of anti-tank guns, began to attack the villages where they were stationed, the Shina Tank Corps destroyed most of the houses, and now the tank squadron has all been shattered, and the First Garrison Brigade has suffered more than 500 casualties, and they can't break out."
The signal corps quickly came to Tahara Komi, and the signal corps immediately reported the telegram received by the 1st Garrison Brigade.
The troops of the 2nd Battalion of the Leaf Folk Armored Battalion began to attack the 1st Garrison Brigade, and the Vickers tanks destroyed the houses with armor-piercing shells.
The devil soldiers in the house were either killed by shells or directly exposed to tank machine guns, and Ye Zimin used this method to gradually advance, compressing the living space of the Japanese army little by little.
All 12 Type 95 tanks of the Japanese tank squadron were destroyed, and these tanks did not pose any threat to the Vickers tanks.
Moreover, the Japanese tanks were still scattered, which gave the second armored battalion the opportunity to destroy the Japanese tanks one by one.
It was only a matter of time before the first garrison brigade was completely annihilated, and they also realized this, so they sent a farewell message to Tahara Kuohai.
When Tahara Kuokai heard the words of the communication soldier, his face became even more pale, and he looked ahead, without any expression on his face.
"Your Excellency General, the Third Garrison Brigade Shaozuo Brigade is broken, and the current Third Garrison Brigade has less than three hundred combat personnel, and the machine gun squadron has suffered heavy losses."
A staff officer of the junior staff hurriedly came to Tahara Kuohai, and he once again reported the situation of the 3rd Garrison Brigade.
After hearing the report of this young staff officer, Tahara Kuohai almost didn't stand still, his body shook a few times, if it wasn't for the Japanese soldiers around him hurriedly holding him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Disperse and break through and move closer to the 114th Division." Tahara Kuokai reluctantly gave an order.
He walked forward, and the devil soldiers wanted to follow, but Tahara Kokai refused.
Not far ahead, Tahara took out the southern pistol he was wearing, and he aimed the muzzle of the gun at his temple.
It's just that before Tahara Kokai had time to pull the trigger, a shuttle machine gun bullet hit him directly, and Tahara Kokai's body was beaten into a sieve.
The 1st and 3rd Armored Battalions had caught up with the Japanese troops, and now the little devils had completely become a live target for the armored troops.
By twelve o'clock in the morning, the independent garrison had been completely routed, and the armored soldiers began to chase after the fleeing devil soldiers, and the battle became a one-sided slaughter.
The county seat of Wutai County, the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division.
Sun Weiguo looked at the telegrams, and the expression on his face changed uncertainly.
The pressure on the Nameless Regiment began to increase, and the Honor Fifth Regiment also began to suffer losses after mistakenly hitting the headquarters of the Japanese First Division.
The 5th Regiment of Honor lost more than 200 cavalry, and the armored team also lost 4 tanks, but fortunately, the troops retreated in time and were not bitten by the 1st Division of the Japanese Army.
"The combat effectiveness of the first division is very strong, so far the main force of the first division has not been hit, and the nameless regiment occupies a favorable position and can barely stop them for a while, but if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the nameless regiment will be wiped out, we must find a way to deal with the first division, and once they go deeper, I am afraid that the honorary fourth regiment may not be able to easily solve them."
Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong came to Sun Weiguo, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said with a worried face.
"The First Division is a hard nail and not easy to deal with, and we have to find a way to attract them out of Wutai County. Now the 26th Division and the 109th Division of the Japanese Army in Daixian County are about to enter Wutai County, and the 114th Division of Meng County has also entered Mengxian County. However, this time the Honorable 4th Regiment played well, and within a few hours it inflicted heavy losses on the independent garrison. ”
Sun Weiguo nodded, he agreed with Zhao Lerong's analysis of the situation of the First Division.
"Division commander, the Japanese troops have entered Wutai County to fight, we have taken corresponding measures, the Japanese army cannot fight hungry, as long as we cut off the supply line of the Japanese army, they will not be able to hold on sooner or later, and most of the little devils have entered Wutai County, the 120th Division and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region should also be able to free up their hands to attack the Japanese supply troops."
Zhao Lerong pointed to several county towns near Wutai County, he looked at Sun Weiguo and said that the supplies of the Japanese army were all transported through the baggage troops, and Zhao Lerong was planning to attack the Japanese army's baggage troops.
"Division commander, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region is calling, Laiyuan County has been occupied by the Japanese army, at present, the Japanese 110th Division, the 21st Division, and the third brigade of the independent mixed army are storming Fuping County, the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is under great pressure, they are ready to abandon Fuping County, Commander Nie asked us to prepare here."
Just when Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong were discussing how to deal with the Japanese troops in Wutai County, Huang Guohua, chief of the Operations Section, came to Sun Weiguo with a telegram and reported.
The Japanese army independently mixed the 4th Brigade and the 110th Division captured Laiyuan County, while the main forces of the Japanese army's two divisions and one brigade attacked Fuping County.
The loss of Fuping County was only a matter of time, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region could not resist the attack of these Japanese troops.
Once Fuping County is lost, then these Japanese troops are likely to quickly enter Wutai County, which already has four divisions of the Japanese army, and if the troops of the 21st Division and the 110th Division enter Wutai County again, the pressure of the second division of honor can be imagined.
