Chapter 54: Teng County Street Fighting Asks for Recommendation! Collect!
At this time, there were less than half battalions left in Zhang Biao's first regiment and three battalions, while Lai San's second regiment also lost one-third of its troops, Niu Tianchi's 745 regiment also had more than 400 people left, two of the three battalion commanders died, and more than a dozen company platoon commanders died. It can be said that the 745 regiment was disabled.
The reason why Zhang Mingyu's reading division suffered such a heavy loss this time is that Zhang Mingyu is responsible for a large part of the responsibility for his command mistakes, and it can be seen from this battle that Zhang Mingyu, a later generation, although he has more ideas than decades of thinking in this era, he still lacks some in leading troops to fight, especially in positional warfare, when encountering a master like Seya Qi. In the past few battles, the reason why Zhang Mingyu was able to win every year was obviously a lot of luck. Of course, this time, Kei Seya also planned a battle plan with several chiefs of staff overnight against this cunning fox.
The plan of the Yue army was to first send a reinforced squad to attack, and then a wing behind it to quickly attack, occupy the position of the Chinese people, and consolidate it. Due to the fierce suppression of the artillery fire of the Yue Army, the 745 Regiment retreated to the bulletproof hole of the second trench, except for one company in the bloody battle with the Yue Army. After this company was wiped out by the devils, the soldiers of the second trench did not attack in time, and the Liuyue army team could take advantage of it, when Seya Kai found out that this squad rushed into the trench of the Shina people, he hurriedly ordered more than 2,000 devils behind him to attack, preparing to take the position in one fell swoop.
Of course, Zhang Mingyu also discovered that the army squad rushed into the position, and this was the reason why he ordered the whole division to keep the outer positions at all costs. If the outer positions are lost and retreat to Tengxian, it is unknown whether Tengxian can hold under the enemy's heavy artillery fire.
When Zhang Mingyu took the Reading Division to reinforce the 745th Regiment, the cunning Seya Kai withdrew the Yue army again, and tried to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese defenders with intensive firepower and aerial bombardment. However, there were at least a thousand fighters who fell under the devil's planes and artillery.
Zhang Mingyu's reading division has been sharply reduced from more than 3,800 horses at the beginning, but now it has been sharply reduced to less than 2,000 people, of which the first regiment suffered the largest casualties, with more than two-thirds of its personnel, followed by the cavalry battalion, with more than 100 killed and more than 200 wounded, and Lai San's second regiment was relatively better, with only more than 300 killed and a few slightly wounded. Zhang Mingyu's guard platoon also lost more than 30 people, and although the cavalry battalion suffered heavy casualties, more than 600 horses were still intact because they participated in the battle on foot.
Zhang Mingyu combined Zhang Biao's regiment and Wang Tiehan's cavalry battalion into a cavalry regiment, with Zhang Biao as the head and Wang Tiehan as the deputy commander. In addition, more than a dozen fighters were transferred to the guard platoon. In this way, Zhang Mingyu's reading division was reduced to an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment at this time, and it was not yet a member of the army.
The three regiments of Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division were Liu Tianjie's regiment, Liu Zhihui's regiment, and Niu Tianchi's regiment. More than 300 members of Liu Zhihui's regiment also withdrew into the city. Niu Tianchi's 745th Regiment suffered more than half of the casualties in the outer positions, and also retreated into the city at this time. Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division has less than 3,000 people left, and Zhang Mingyu's Reading Division has only more than 4,000 people left. And the Seya detachment still had 8,000 troops at this time.
Several other mixed wings have already cleared the area around Tengxian County, and the Segu Qihui Division is under the city of Tengxian County, as long as the Teng County Jingu Division is captured, they can drive straight into and attack Taierzhuang.
The whole army of the Seya Kai detachment was assembled, and a tank brigade of more than a dozen tanks also rushed to the city of Fuji County. At this time, the soldiers of the 122nd Division and the Reading Division in Tengxian County were also prepared, and the soldiers entered each dark fort and each firepower point under the house according to the instructions. The gates of the city have been sealed.
It is said that the army tanks bombarded Chengheng in Tengxian County, and a section of Chengheng collapsed under several rounds of bombardment.
The devil's assault force advanced towards the gap, and after rushing to the collapsed city wall, the China people were not found shooting, and a squadron leader waved a command knife: "Kill Quack!" "The devil rushed into Teng County at the breach.
In the street battles of Nanjing, they once resisted the attack of the enemy who was several times their size, and also protruded the encirclement from the front of the enemy, and most importantly, they killed the enemy's headquarters. It is a glory that belongs to every reader veteran, and it is worthy of their pride for the rest of their lives.
At this time, seeing the army rushing in from the gap, a veteran aimed at a devil soldier from under a ruin, watching the devil getting closer and closer, he decisively pulled the trigger and "snapped" a gunshot, and the bullet accurately hit the heart of the devil. The devil fell in response.
Immediately, the squadron leader of the devil ordered the group to lie down, and set up a crooked handle, and fired violently at the place where the bullet was fired, and one grenadier also accurately fired a grenade at the hiding place of the veteran just now.
After a burst of gunshots, the devils stopped shooting when they saw that there was no movement, and more than a dozen devils stood up and walked towards the collapsed house. When they approached, they used their bayonets to pick up the bricks and tiles, but when they found that there was no movement, they signaled safety to the devils behind them. It turned out that the veteran had already run through a small hole to another house.
After knowing that there was no danger, the devils in the back stood up one after another, and the squadron leader waved his hand: "Open the way!" The devils divided into groups of three and advanced towards the city on the right. At this time, from the gap in the city wall, two squadrons of devils rushed in; The leader of the devil brigade pulled out his command knife and said: "The first squadron charges from the street, and the second squadron searches the city on the left side to eliminate the people of China." ”
"Hay!" The two squadron leaders bent down at the same time.
The captain then ordered: "Order the third squadron to advance from the right city and destroy the Chinese people." ”
One of the heralds, "Hai", then turned and ran.
At this time, a brigade of more than 1,000 devils spread out in three ways and advanced towards the center of the city. The devils who were walking on the street were hit by cold guns fired from both sides of the road from time to time, and from time to time the devils were shot and fell to the ground, and after the devils rushed to the houses on both sides, they were greeted by a grenade, which blew them up in the flesh and blood, and the grenadiers and mortars of the devils wanted to set up cannons, and they were killed one by one by the snipers who had been eyeing them for a long time. When the snipers were fighting on the front line, Zhang Mingyu withdrew them into the city, because the devils changed their tactics, and the snipers were used as cannon fodder for the enemy when they stayed outside the city. Only in street fights can snipers play their due role.
Due to the close distance, the devil's artillery could not be deployed, and often before the cannon was erected, it was shot by a bullet from unknown where and lay on the ground. The soldiers relied on the houses to shoot tenaciously at the devils, and the devils who attacked from three ways were all subjected to this situation, and they felt that the [***] people were like ghosts, unable to catch them, and unable to fight.
After fighting for a long time, the devil advanced less than a thousand meters, and paid the price of more than 300 casualties.
In street fighting, the devil's powerful firepower is difficult to play. The attack was blocked, and the captain called Kei Seya and reported: "Your Excellency, the people of China are very cunning! They hid in the house and attacked the valiant Imperial Army, and we suffered heavy casualties. Inability to attack forward. Request reinforcements! ”
Kei Seya immediately replied, "Suzuki-kun, your troops still need to fight bravely, and I will send chariots into the city to reinforce now." Suzuki Nakasa on the other end of the phone nodded: "Hay! ”
Hanging up the phone, Kei Seya ordered more than a dozen tanks outside the city to drive into the city to reinforce the attacking troops inside the city.
