Chapter 809: Suicide Attack

Shimen Town, the headquarters of the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Infantry, at this time, the captain of the Shaozo Brigade Tokugawa Haruta gathered his three captains and squadron leaders together, and Tokugawa Haruta has already begun to get the breakthrough message sent by the headquarters of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, after receiving this message, Tokugawa Haruta only had the idea of greeting the commander of the Major General Brigade Sasaki to a whole family.

The Seventh Brigade of Independent Infantry has been surrounded by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they have no possibility of breaking through at all, and at this time, Sasaki Toichi actually let them break through alone, Tokugawa Haruta didn't know what to do, and he had a helpless expression on his face.

Until now, Tokugawa Haruta did not know that the 3rd Brigade had been independently mixed, and the 1st Brigade had begun to prepare to break through and evacuate Binh Dinh County, but he understood his situation.

"Defend your position and fight until the last moment, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" Tokugawa Haruta looked at the three captains and squadron leaders, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Hey, Captain." The three captains and squadron leaders immediately said respectfully.

"Next, I will abandon the outlying positions, put the Chinese troops into the town, and all the units will cooperate with the armored troops to carry out a suicide attack on the Chinese troops. Ladies and gentlemen, we don't need to protect ourselves in this battle, our purpose is to kill and injure the Shina troops as much as possible, and I hope that you must carry forward the spirit of bushido and let the Shina troops know that our Imperial Army is powerful. ”

Tokugawa Haruta looked sternly at the three captains, and he said in a serious tone.

Knowing that there was no chance of a breakthrough, Tokugawa Haruta began to gather three captains and squadron leaders, who planned to carry out a suicide attack on the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

At present, there are more than 700 people in the 7th Independent Infantry Brigade, and they also have six Type 89 tanks, they have lost part of their troops and tanks in the battle to garrison Shimenmen Town, but they still have the confidence to continue fighting, and Tokugawa Haruta does not plan to garrison Shimenmen Town now, he plans to take a suicide attack and kill and injure a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The three Japanese captains and squadron leaders shouted loudly.

"Mixi, let's get ready!" Tokugawa Haruta said with satisfaction.

The Japanese troops began to prepare for a suicide attack, and after 10 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese troops began to withdraw all into the town of Shimenmen, and they gave up their outer positions.

The troops of the 1st Advance Regiment in charge of the attack immediately began to break through to Shimen Town, but when the 1st Regiment entered Shimen Town, they realized that the real battle had only begun now.

A large number of Japanese infantry, accompanied by tanks, began to launch a suicidal attack on the officers and men of the 1st Advance Regiment, and these devil soldiers rushed towards the officers and men of the 1st Advance Regiment one after another.

"Onboard, onboard!" The devil soldiers were armed with different weapons, and they shouted the slogan of the charge, and quickly approached the officers and soldiers of the first regiment that rushed into the town.

Xiao Yan's 8th Battalion, which was the first to enter Shimen Town, was caught off guard, and after paying more than 30 casualties, the 7th Battalion was forced to withdraw from the town.

This time, the little devils attacked the evacuated Eighth Battalion troops like crazy, and more than 200 devil soldiers pursued the troops of the Seventh Battalion under the cover of two Type 89 tanks.

On the road to evacuate to the outside of the town, the troops of the 7th Battalion again paid the price of more than 50 casualties, and after the troops of the 7th Battalion withdrew to the outside of the town and were supported by the 6 Type 41 mountain guns of the 1st Regiment and the 12 Type 94 mountain guns of the artillery battalion directly under the headquarters of the New 2nd Brigade, the Japanese army discarded more than 70 corpses, and then they were unwilling to withdraw to the town.

Xiao Yan came to the regiment commander Qin Xianliang with a disgraced face, and Qin Xianliang was also very surprised that the eighth battalion troops were driven out by the Japanese army.

He immediately inquired carefully about the battle situation in the town with the deputy regiment commander Yin Jin, and after learning that the Japanese army had launched a suicide attack, the expression on Qin Xianliang's face became serious.

The little devils are already very strong in combat, and if they are fighting to the death, it will inevitably bring casualties to the troops.

But Qin Xianliang has been following Sun Weiguo's side for a long time, and Qin Xianliang is naturally very familiar with some of Sun Weiguo's tactics.

Qin Xianliang ordered the troops to temporarily stop the attack, and he began to look for nearby tunnels, Qin Xianliang planned to solve the little devils in the town through the tunnels.

A large number of tunnels have been excavated underground in Pingding County, and the troops of the first company of the Jibu Battalion began to evacuate from the tunnels before, and now they have begun to return to the formation of the Jibu Battalion of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.

Soon, the troops of the first regiment began to find the tunnels connected to the outside of Shimen Town, Qin Xianliang ordered Zhang Wenbin's fourth battalion troops to infiltrate the town through the tunnels, while the rest of the troops were on standby, waiting for the fourth battalion troops to enter the town through the tunnels and then attack.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the troops of the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade began to withdraw towards Yangquan County, and at this time, Qin Xianliang, the commander of the 1st Advance Regiment, also began to give orders for a general attack.

The troops of the second and eighth battalions took the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese troops in Shimenkou Town, and when the troops of the second and eighth battalions entered the town, the Japanese troops launched another suicide attack.

The 2nd and 8th Battalions attacked from the north and south respectively, while Tokugawa Haruta assigned two lines of troops to counterattack, each equipped with three Type 89 tanks and more than 300 infantry, shouting slogans, and quickly launched a charge towards the troops of the 2nd and 8th Battalions.

After summing up the lessons of the 8th Battalion, the 1st Regiment was well prepared this time, and when the Japanese troops began to charge over, the officers and men who entered the town immediately began to stop advancing, and light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and infantry guns quickly began to fire, and at the same time, the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and the mountain artillery company directly under the regiment headquarters began to support the operation.

One by one, the shells were the first to hit the Japanese tanks, and the shells hit the Japanese tanks, and a huge explosion sounded.

A Type 89 tank was hit by four shells in a row, and the tank slammed straight into the front wall, although the grenade did not blow up the armor, but it stunned the devil soldiers inside.

As the Japanese troops got closer and closer to the officers and men of the 1st Regiment, the light and heavy machine guns began to fire fiercely. I

As the Japanese troops were pinned down by the 2nd and 8th Battalions, the 4th Battalion in the tunnels quickly began to appear in the town, and the officers and men attacked from behind the Japanese troops.

The little devils were caught off guard, and many of the devil soldiers didn't know what was going on, and their backs had been sieveed by bullets.

One by one, grenades were thrown at the ghost soldiers, and the explosion sounded, and the number of little devils in Shimen Town became smaller and smaller.

When two of the six Type 89 tanks were blown up, and the devil soldiers in the remaining four tanks were all blown unconscious, the time was already half past twelve in the morning, and the number of devil soldiers in Shimen Town was less than three hundred.
