Chapter 1239: The Little Devil Sticks to It

At present, there is one armored division and two infantry divisions of the Chinese army in Huaxian County, so the deployment of troops far exceeds that of the Japanese troops, and the lieutenant general of the 18th Division, Chang Nachengyi, knows very well that if the troops of the 18th Division break through at this time, these troops will launch a pursuit, and they will definitely be able to completely encircle and annihilate the troops of the 18th Division easily.

Guna Joichi believed that holding his position was the best way to do it, even though he knew that even if he held his position, he might not be able to stop the Chinese troops from attacking.

Regarding the suggestion of Chief of Staff of Takeda Shoudasa, Jiuna Joichi did not consider it at all, and he planned to continue to hold on to Huaxian.

"Order the 23rd Brigade and the 55th Wing, the Baggage Wing, the First Brigade and the Second Brigade of the Artillery Wing to hold the North City Gate of Huaxian County, and must resist the attack of the Zhina troops, and absolutely cannot be lost. In the name of the division headquarters, he sent a telegram to the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General and Brigade Yuan Shousande, telling him that as long as the North City Gate is lost, then he will apologize. ”

"Order the 114th Wing, 124th Wing, 3rd Brigade and 4th Brigade of the 35th Brigade to hold the Dongcheng and Nancheng of Huaxian County, and kill and injure as many Chinese troops as possible, and tell the commander of the 35th Brigade Major General Sang Mingzhao 2 that as long as they hold their positions here and inflict a large number of casualties on the Chinese troops, we will definitely win."

"Quickly contact the headquarters of the 21st Army, report our situation here to His Excellency the Commander, and request His Excellency the Commander to send aviation units to carry out carpet bombing of the troops in China, and if necessary, you can contact us to bomb the city."

Jiuna Chengyi stared at the map for a while, his face was full of solemn expressions, and after being silent for a while, Jiuna Chengyi immediately issued an order to fight.

He did not choose to break out, but chose to continue to garrison in Huaxian, and he was ready to use the strong fortifications of Huaxian to give his troops a chance to win.

The choice of breaking through was not valued by him, and Jiuna Chengyi also knew that staying in the county town might have a chance of survival, but if he wanted to break through, he would definitely die.

Thinking about this clearly, Gyuna Castle was ready to defend to the death, and he divided the artillery wing into two brigades for defensive use.

WHEN THE ORDER OF THE 18TH DIVISION HEADQUARTERS BEGAN TO BE TRANSMITTED, TWENTY-FOUR 75MM FIELD GUNS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO BE REINFORCED TO THE 23 BRIGADE REGIMENT, AND TWELVE FIELD ARTILLERY PIECES AND TWELVE MOUNTAIN GUNS WERE ALSO IMMEDIATELY REINFORCED TO THE 35 BRIGADE TROOPS.

The Japanese troops began to be stationed in the fortifications built in advance, and tens of thousands of devil soldiers began to make a posture of defending the county seat of Huaxian County and preparing to fight in the streets with the Chinese troops to the end.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Ye Zimin temporarily organized the troops of the 6th Division to capture part of the North City Gate, and Ye Zimin immediately ordered the 14th Regiment to be temporarily formed, and the 15th Regiment was temporarily formed to contain the Japanese troops in a frontal manner, and he sent the troops of the 16th Regiment to attack the North City Gate, preparing to receive the troops of the 54th Army on the periphery to enter the city.

And at this time, the 21st Separate Air Force of the Japanese Army began to appear, and two bomber squadrons of twenty-four aircraft appeared in the sky over Huaxian under the escort of twelve fighters.

Japanese bombers began to bomb the 14th Division and four divisions on the periphery, and these four divisions had to evacuate the periphery of Huaxian to avoid the bombing of the Japanese air force.

Twenty-four bombers dropped aerial bombs one after another on the outskirts of Huaxian, and a huge explosion sounded, and the ground seemed to tremble.

The 12 fighters of the little devil did not encounter the Chinese air force units, and they were not willing to be lonely, and the 12 fighters began to enter the sky over the county seat of Huaxian County, and they lowered their altitude and strafed the Chinese troops on the ground, and the 20MM machine gun shells hit them, and dozens of officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and these officers and soldiers did not leave a complete corpse.

Even two tanks No. 4 were directly destroyed by armor-piercing shells from machine guns.

More than 30 planes of the Japanese air force fought for 40 minutes in a bravado, and it was only after 11:40 that they triumphantly withdrew.

However, the little devils did not bomb the county, which did not bring too many casualties to the 201st Division and other troops in the county.

After the little devils began to evacuate, Sun Weiguo once again issued a general attack order, and in the four divisions on the periphery, Sun Weiguo ordered the 14th Division to continue to attack the North City Gate, and the 14th Division troops would enter Huaxian City to fight under the temporary Sixth Division, and the 18th Division of the 54th Army and the 151st Division of the 63rd Army were deployed by Sun Weiguo on the west side of Huaxian to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through here, and the 153rd Division of the 63rd Army was in the hands of Sun Weiguo and served as a reserve.

Sun Weiguo's general offensive order began to be issued, the troops of the 201st Division took the lead in organizing the attack force, the armored infantry regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment strengthened the troops of the 5th armored regiment to fight, and the infantry followed behind the tanks and quickly advanced towards the position of the devil soldiers.

Because the 124th Wing was surrounded by the troops of the Honorary Fourth Division and there was a possibility of being completely annihilated, the first brigade of the 124th Wing, which originally reinforced the 114th Wing, has returned to its establishment, and at present, 2,000 people of the 114th Wing are equipped with twelve 105MM mountain guns to garrison Dongcheng to block the attack of the 201st Division.

When the troops of the 201st Division launched an attack, unlike before, the little devils did not immediately carry out a fire strike, they were waiting silently.

The rest of the anti-tank guns were all concealed in semi-underground bunkers, and these anti-tank guns only exposed their muzzles, sacrificing a lot of firing range.

WITH A "BOOM", WHEN A NO. 4 TANK ENTERED THE FIRING RANGE, A JAPANESE 47MM ANTI-TANK GUN IMMEDIATELY BEGAN FIRING.

The armor-piercing projectile was quickly fired, and this armor-piercing projectile directly hit tank four, because the distance was less than three hundred meters, tank four was directly penetrated by the armor-piercing projectile.

The infantrymen who followed behind saw that the tank was destroyed, and they immediately quickly took refuge, and two light machine guns also began to suppress the front.

At the same time, a 57MM battle defense gun quickly opened fire, and the armor-piercing shell hit the Devil Soldier anti-tank gun directly, but because it was a semi-underground bunker, the Devil Soldier anti-tank gun was not destroyed.

"Da-da-da-da." The Type 92 heavy machine gun deployed by the Japanese army in a house began to fire, and bullets quickly fired at the soldiers.

More than a dozen fighters paid the price of casualties, and this advancing Chinese force was blocked.

"Boom, boom." The grenadiers fired micro-grenades quickly, but the micro-grenades hit the houses, but did not cause a fatal blow to the heavy machine guns inside.

The anti-aircraft artillery immediately turned its muzzle and quickly began to load the shells, but the grenadiers of the little devil began to fire miniature grenades.

Miniature grenades exploded near the anti-aircraft guns, and the artillerymen were killed before they could shoot.

The little devils who entered the fortifications adjusted their tactics, they did not fight the Chinese troops head-to-head, they relied on strong fortifications, and hid in the shadows to attack the Chinese troops.

The Chinese troops attacking along the streets have no way to deal with it, and they are currently completely exposed to the blows of the little devils.
