About 3,000 civilians were rescued from the position of the Third Division, and the Third Division suffered more than 1,500 casualties, of which 1,063 were killed.

Coupled with the devil soldiers eliminated by the Flying Eagle Brigade, the Third Division annihilated at least 4,000 people killed and wounded in this battle, and the Yue Army, which suffered heavy casualties, was no longer able to hold all the positions on the periphery at this time.

Sato was also helpless, he didn't know why the headquarters didn't send reinforcements to reinforce them, but let him stay on the spot and live and die with the position.

Sato knew very well that after losing air supremacy, if he still placed his troops on the periphery, he would definitely be hit by the aerial fire of Chinese fighters, which the Imperial Army had tried to do in the past.

In fact, it is not that the army has absolutely lost air supremacy, but the main thing is that Ishihara has decided not to let Jingui's pilots and planes die in vain, because he thinks that the Reading Force is about to be wiped out, and there is no need to send fighters to die in this extra move.

Huairen County. The command of the army.

At this time, the staff officers of the army in the command headquarters were extremely panicked, because just now a Chinese armored unit suddenly appeared under the city of Datong, cutting off the connection between the Huairen army and Datong.

Sakai Murakami Osa, who was in charge of commanding the Huairen devil's battle, was anxiously stepping back and forth at this time, and another Osa Hano Osa said: "Sakai-kun, can you not walk around, you should think of a way, how to break the encirclement of the Shina people." ”

Sakai sat down and said, "What can I do?" Do you want me to use my infantry to charge at the chariots of the Chinese people? ”

Yuno also couldn't understand when the Shina people had so many advanced chariots, and when the Shina people's combat effectiveness became so strong. This made Sakai and others completely puzzled.

At this time, a staff officer of the second lieutenant held a telegram and said: "Your Excellency, General Kobayashi has sent a telegram, asking my troops to immediately organize troops to break through to Datong." ”

"What? Let's break through? Sakai asked in a disbelieving tone. Because he knew how difficult it was to break through the torrent of ironclad of the Chinese people, how difficult it was to break through the blockade of tanks and armored vehicles in the absence of heavy weapons and air fire support, and small-caliber artillery simply could not shake those behemoths.

What's more, there is still the main force of the First Division of the Reading Army in front of them, which means that if they want to break through, they will have to leave a part of the blocking force to block the attack and pursuit of the First Division of the Reading Army. In this case, it is unknown how much he and the Hano United team can stand out.

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant bowed his head abruptly and said, "That's what the general said in the telegram. ”

Hearing this, a trace of determination flashed on Sakai's face, and he said in a solemn tone to Hano Daisa beside him: "Hano-kun, you have heard General Kobayashi's orders!" ”

Yuno stepped forward and said, "Hayi! I drip! As an emperor, it is the greatest wish of the emperor to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"I want the West!" Sakai patted Hano on the shoulder with both hands and said, "Hano-kun, you are a real emperor [***] person, an imperial warrior, then please lead a large army of troops to block the Shina people for six hours!" Buy time for our main forces to move to Datong. Please. ”

"Hayi!" Yuno suddenly bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" ”

1st Division Command.

A major staff officer strode into the command headquarters and said: "Division, Division Commander Xu has called, the armored division has successfully detoured to the rear of the army, cutting off the connection between Huairen's devils and Datong." ”

Zhang Biao applauded: "Great! Ordered Niu Tiangui to immediately launch an attack on the county seat of Huairen. In addition, Xu Hu was given a telegram to let the armored division strictly prevent the little devil dog from jumping over the wall and breaking through. This time, Lao Tzu wants to stew this group of "turtle king eight" in one pot, and none of them can let them go. ”

"Yes!" The major stood upright, and then turned around; Leave.

The Datong Military Police Headquarters has now been changed to the Datong Garrison Headquarters by Kobayashi River.

Xiao Lin Chuan held a telegram in his hand, and roared with a heavy face: "Yaga! Why? Why not send reinforcements? "What he is holding in his hand is something that has just been sent from the headquarters of the North China Army.

Kobayashigawa asked Shouichi Terauchi for reinforcements, but in exchange for a telegram ordering him to defend it. The message was to the effect that he should lead the Datong defenders to the last soldier, and that he and Datong should live and die together.

Kobayashigawa didn't know why the headquarters sent such a telegram, and he certainly didn't know about Ishihara's Sidewinder plan. In Ordos, Baotou and Suiyuan were successively recovered by the Chinese [***] team, the headquarters of the Mongolian Corps of the Yue Army was already in name only, and later all of them were transferred to the battle sequence of the North China Front of the Yue Army.

So Kobayashi had to obey Terauchi Shouichi's order at this time, and led his troops to a decisive battle with the Reading Army, fighting until the last moment.

????????????????????

Outside the city of Huairen County.

Niu Tiangui was ordered to command the troops to launch an attack on the position of the Yue army, and thousands of soldiers of the Reading Army, under the cover of some tanks, rushed towards the position of the Yue army with a shout.

Yuno Osa tied a samurai cloth on his head and brandished a command knife, commanding the stubborn resistance of the Yue army, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the crooked light machine gun on the position of the Yue army "da-da-da" sounded non-stop, and the tongues of fire blocked the charging Yuli army soldiers.

There were constantly soldiers of the Reading Army who were shot and fell in pools of blood, but the soldiers of the Reading Army behind followed one after another, bravely and fearlessly launching a tidal wave of attacks on the positions of the Yue Army.

A company commander climbed on a Tiger tank and knocked on the tank and said to the tankers inside: "Brother, hit that dog's heavy machine gun fast!" As he spoke, he pointed to a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was spitting flames in the distance.

The tank crew slowly turned the muzzle of the gun, and soon locked onto the heavy machine gun. With a bang, a fireball whistled out from the muzzle of the tank and rushed towards the heavy machine gun of the Japanese army, which was firing fiercely.

I saw a flash of fire in the distance, and several machine gunners and the heavy machine gun were immediately blown into the sky, and at this time, the tank crew emerged from the tank and wanted to report the good news to the infantry company commander just now.

But he didn't find it, only to see a pitch-black "humanoid mold" standing next to the tank. The tankman said, "Dude, are you alright?" ”

The company commander suddenly coughed violently, touched his dark face, and said, "This big guy still farts?" Grandma's almost choked Lao Tzu to death. ”

The tankman couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, it turned out that he had been smoked into "black charcoal" by the thick smoke that burst out of the shell just now.

Although with the assistance of the tanks, the devils were tightly suppressed in terms of firepower, but the anti-tank ditch dug by the devils with a width of five meters and a depth of four meters blocked the advance of the tanks, and the infantry set up wooden planks and rushed into the positions of the devils and launched a fierce white-knuckle battle with the devils.

But unexpectedly, these devils have a very strong sense of fighting, and the two sides launched a fierce battle, often seizing the position, but it was recaptured by the army.

The positions of the two sides changed hands repeatedly, and the battle lasted until the afternoon, Niu Tiangui ordered the infantry to withdraw from the army position to rest, so far the army position did not move at all, which surprised Zhang Biao, he ordered Niu Tiangui on the phone: "The little devil is a fierce force, and when they lose their strength, they will be soft-skinned, and order the tank soldiers not to save shells to bombard Lao Tzu fiercely!" ”

"Yes!" Niu Tian Guixing hung up the phone and said happily: "Little devil of the dog, this time you should have a good taste of being bombed!" ”

Soon after receiving the order, a tank regiment responsible for covering the infantry attack had more than 10 Tiger tanks and more than 20 T28 and T26 tanks all prepared more than 30 guns with black holes and aimed them at the positions of the army.

As a regimental commander radioed orders to each tank, more than 30 tank guns opened fire one after another, firing rapidly at the position.

One after another, fireballs covered the sky and smashed into the positions of the Japanese army, and the whole earth trembled, and the tank crews replaced the shells with white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and a ball of fire rose up, and soon the entire position of the Japanese army fell into a sea of fire.

From time to time, there were soldiers who were covered in fire and struggled in the firelight, rolling on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the raging fire that was constantly burning on their bodies. But no matter how much they struggled, they could only be slowly dried by the high temperature and flames, and finally turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground.

At the same time as the 1st Division launched a fierce attack on the position of the Japanese army, about four or five thousand devils in Huairen Castle were all assembled, and Sakai Daisa strode to the front of the queue with a command knife in his hand and a samurai cloth on his head.

Then he stepped forward and said, "Imperial warriors, do you hear the sound of cannons in the south of the city?" It was the advanced chariot cannon of the Shina people, and Hano-kun and nearly 2,000 imperial warriors were resisting the fierce attack of the Shina people with their flesh and blood, in order to buy us time to switch to battle smoothly. So we must fight hard to break the resistance of the Shina people! Do you understand? ”

"Hayi!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

Sakai nodded and said, "The people of Shina have advanced chariots, but we have the most valiant warriors, and you are all the most valiant soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor, and now I will order ????"

All the devil soldiers looked at Sakai Murakami in unison.

Sakai paused, pulled out his command knife and said, "The first brigade charges!" With that, the command knife swung forward.

Immediately, more than a thousand devil soldiers were wrapped in explosives bags and shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire" rushed towards the north of the city, and after the death squad rushed out of the city, Sakai waved his command knife and said: "Warriors attack!" ”

The remaining devil soldiers also shouted and rushed out of the city with their bayonet rifles in their hands.

It was clear that the first group of devil soldiers to leave the city were the suicide squads organized by Sakai, who carried out a suicide charge in an attempt to destroy the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division that surrounded them.
