Chapter 645: The Position Can't Be Held
In the county seat of Xiyang County, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the Fifth Brigade Headquarters.
The expression on Qin Yashang's face has become solemn, the personnel in the brigade headquarters are quickly burning confidential documents, and the orderly soldiers and other non-combatants are all armed, and they are guarding the outside of the house to prevent the Chinese troops from raiding the brigade headquarters.
Qin Yashang was holding a southern pistol in his right hand, and his eyes looked towards the radio station, he had already sent an urgent message for help to the headquarters of the First Army.
He hoped that the reinforcements would quickly rush to Xiyang County to support his own battle, and at the same time he ordered the 20th Brigade to return to the brigade headquarters at all costs.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the guard squadron is not the opponent of this branch of the army, and the transport squadron has no combat effectiveness at all, so let's evacuate quickly."
Chief of Staff Zhongzuo came to Qin Yashang, he looked at Qin Yashang, and said in an anxious tone.
Qin Yashang's pale face showed a look of despair, he shook his head heavily, he always believed that Sun Weiguo's tank and cavalry troops would not leave Xiyang County.
If he could have evacuated unscrupulously, he would have evacuated when the troops of the New Second Brigade entered the county seat, and he never evacuated, because he felt that with Sun Weiguo's character, he would definitely leave ambushes outside the city, and these ambushes would definitely be cavalry and tank troops.
According to normal thinking, any commander in such a situation would leave troops in ambush on the outskirts of Xiyang County.
Especially for a commander like Sun Weiguo, Qin Yashang's judgment is normal, but it is obviously inappropriate for such a judgment of normal thinking to be applied to Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo led the Jibu battalion to launch a strong attack on Xiyang County, he made a momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and all the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment rushed to the area of Lijiazhuang Town to participate in the battle.
The officers and men of the Jibu Battalion knew very well that with the withdrawal of the main force of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, they had only one choice in their next battle, and that was to win.
If Sun Weiguo evacuated with the main force of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, the officers and soldiers of the Jibu Battalion would have one more choice, that is, the entire army would be annihilated.
But Sun Weiguo fought with the Jibu Battalion, and the officers and soldiers knew that they had no other choice, and they could only protect Sun Weiguo's safety if they were victorious.
Even if they all die in battle, they will kill all the devil soldiers, and they will not let the devil soldiers hurt Sun Weiguo.
They know very well that with Sun Weiguo, the little devils will not have a good life, and with Sun Weiguo, the little devils who invaded China will be annihilated.
Qin Yashang's judgment was wrong, even now, he had no intention of evacuating.
"We can't evacuate, we're here fighting to the death against the Chinese troops. If we were to meet the cavalry and tank forces of China outside the city, we would have no choice but to die. ”
Qin Yashang's pale face showed a determined expression, and he said in a cold tone.
Hearing Qin Yashang's words, Chief of Staff Zhongzuo was silent, he knew that Qin Yashang's worries were correct.
From the perspective of the Chinese troops, the Japanese brigade headquarters are about to be conquered, and the little devil is stupid to stay at the brigade headquarters and not evacuate, this is simply a stupid pig.
However, from the perspective of the Japanese army, they felt that there would definitely be cavalry and tanks outside the city in ambush, and their troops were withdrawn outside the city, and once they encountered tanks and cavalry troops, they would inevitably have only a dead end.
"Boom, boom!" Loud explosions began to sound, houses began to shake, and bricks and tiles fell from the roofs.
A huge explosion sounded, and Qin Yashang was hit in the head by a falling tile, and bright red blood flowed out of Qin Yashang's head.
"What's the matter, did the Chinese troops use heavy artillery?" Qin Yashang said in a panicked tone.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Chinese troops attacked the light and heavy machine gun fire points with explosive packs, the light and heavy machine gun fire points of the guard squadron were destroyed a lot, and many people in the transport squadron assisting the garrison were killed, and the artillery asked for instructions on whether to shoot at the Chinese troops."
A Shao Zuo hurriedly ran to Qin Yashang to report, and a resolute expression appeared on his face.
THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY ALSO HAS FIVE 75MM FIELD GUNS, AND THE FIVE FIELD GUNS CAN BE FIRED, BUT ONCE THE FIELD GUNS ARE FIRED, WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION OF CHINA AND JAPAN, THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY SHELLS ARE VERY LIKELY TO ACCIDENTALLY INJURE THEIR OWN PEOPLE, AND EVEN THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS.
"Order the artillery to shoot immediately and let them carry out indiscriminate shelling......" Qin Yashang shouted frantically.
But at this time, on the left side of the Japanese brigade headquarters, there was a fierce gunshot, and after hearing the gunshot, Qin Yashang, who was shouting, sat down on the ground.
On the left side of the Japanese army is the Japanese artillery position, and now the artillery position is not defended by any troops, and there is gunfire here, and the situation can be imagined.
The first company and the special combat team, which had made a detour from the flank, intended to attack the Japanese brigade headquarters from the flank, but a soldier of the special combat team discovered the Japanese artillery position.
After learning of this situation, the deputy commander of the first company immediately consulted with Zhang Junjia, and after discussion, the troops of the first company began to attack the Japanese artillery position, and the special combat team attacked from the flank.
There were no garrison infantry on the Japanese artillery positions, only a group of artillerymen, and these artillery encountered the officers and soldiers of the company who killed the red eye, and the consequences can be imagined.
"Crazy, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, these people are all crazy, they rushed to our position with explosives bags, they perished with us, the transport squadron has begun to retreat, and the positions outside cannot be held."
A Japanese second lieutenant with blood all over his body ran in from outside, he looked at Qin Yashang and said with a panicked expression.
Qin Yashang, who was sitting on the ground, had no expression on his face, and he looked at the personnel of the brigade headquarters with a dull gaze.
"Warriors of the Empire, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, kill and give!" Chief of Staff Nakasa drew his saber, and he shouted loudly.
"Onboard, onboard!" The communications officers and staff officers of the brigade headquarters were armed with different weapons, and they rushed out in a swarm.
Qin Yashang stood up with the support of the orderly, he clenched the southern pistol in his right hand, and he looked out with a cold gaze.
"Send a telegram to the 20th brigade, let them withdraw to the city wall, and slaughter the people of the county seat of Xiyang County!" Qin Yashang gave the order.
A communications soldier immediately began to send a telegram to the 20th brigade, and the message began to be quickly sent to the 20th brigade headquarters.
At this time, in the courtyard, the most primitive white-knuckle battle had already begun, Qin Yashang glanced through the window, and he saw a young man wearing a major general's collar badge holding a rifle, constantly stabbing a famous devil soldier to the ground.
Qin Yashang put the southern pistol back in the holster, he drew his saber and ran directly outside.
