Chapter 390: Command to the front
More than 100 soldiers of the fifth company of the second battalion had already begun to enter the city wall, and under the leadership of the deputy battalion commander Wang Tieniu, the soldiers launched an encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese troops, while the Japanese troops who had been ordered quickly withdrew from the city wall.
The soldiers of the fifth company began to open the southern gate, and the soldiers of the sixth and seventh companies quickly began to rush into the county seat.
The Japanese troops began to assemble in the center of the county one after another, and Kunomura Momoyo had long expected that Sun Weiguo's troops would come to attack Baode County, and he had designed this operation in detail, and on the main roads in Baode County, the Japanese troops had set up machine gun fire points, which could cover the withdrawal of Japanese troops and block the pursuit of Chinese troops.
At the same time, the Japanese army set up a lot of mines on the road, and when the Japanese troops withdrew, an infantry squad of the fifth company that took the lead in the pursuit stepped on a mine, directly killing one soldier and wounding two soldiers.
With the cover of these mines and machine-gun fire points, three Japanese infantry squadrons quickly assembled at the brigade headquarters.
The transport squadron of the 1st Brigade had already put the ammunition supply boxes on the cart, and the mules and horses dragged the cart and began to evacuate towards the north city gate.
Okamoto Hideaki looked at his troops, his face became gloomy, there were more than 560 people in the full strength of the three infantry squadrons, but now the three infantry squadrons that have been withdrawn are only more than 300 people, which means that the previous battle has caused more than 200 Japanese soldiers to die.
In particular, the machine gun squadron, which was assigned to the nine heavy machine guns assigned to the three infantry squadrons, did not return safely, and dozens of ghost soldiers of the machine gun squadron were all killed.
The two sides exchanged fire for more than 30 minutes, but their own troops paid more than 300 people killed, such a price made Okamoto Hideaki a little unacceptable, his heart was full of anger, but this anger could not be vented, he could only hold it in his heart.
Biguan County, the regimental headquarters of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Kuroda Shigetoku didn't sleep very well last night, and now that it's past eleven o'clock, Kuroda Shigetoku is a little sleepy.
He thought to himself if he could go to sleep for a while after eating, but looking at Kunomura Momoyo standing in front of the map, Kuroda Shigetoku immediately became energetic, and he felt that if he went to sleep by himself, maybe Kunomura Momoyo would secretly run to the front line to fight.
"What is the current situation, is the combat effectiveness of your wing too weak, the Zhina troops have just launched an attack, and the county seat has been conquered in less than an hour, you are really a disgrace to the Imperial Army." Kuroda said sarcastically.
As if he hadn't heard Kuroda's sarcasm, Momoyo Kunomura stared at the map with a pensive expression on his face.
After not getting a reply from Kunomura Momoyo for a long time, Kuroda Shigetoku showed a slightly annoyed expression on his face, and he came directly to Kunomura Momoyo.
"Yaga, why don't you answer my words." Kuroda Shigetoku roared coldly.
Seeing the angry expression on Kuroda Shigetoku's face, Kunomura Momoyo didn't care, he said in a calm tone: "General Kuroda, I have to go to Baode County to command the operation, the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's troops is beyond my imagination, I not only have to go to Baode County, but the third brigade and artillery units in Biguan County must also take away a part, otherwise this battle against Sun Weiguo is very likely to fail." ”
"Baga, the defenders of Hequ County have all been transferred to Baode County to fight, have you ever thought that if the battle against Sun Weiguo's troops fails this time, the 13th Wing will suffer huge losses, and the Baode County, Hequ County, and even Biguan County that we captured will not be saved."
Kuroda Shigetoku's eyes looked at Sun Weiguo coldly, the expression on his face became extremely cold, and his eyes exuded a fierce light.
"General Kuroda, I want to get in touch with His Excellency the division commander immediately, if you don't agree to my request, I can only report to the division commander."
In the face of Kuroda Shigetoku's anger, he didn't care, he instead brought out the division commander Harem Jun to force Kuroda Shigetoku.
"Eight Ga Ya Road." Hearing that the head of the Kunomura Momoyo Division, Harem Jun, threatened him, Kuroda Shigetoku said with a sneer on his face and a cold tone, he raised his hands and opened the bow left and right, and slapped Kunomura Momoyo seven or eight times before stopping.
Kunomura Momoyo's cheeks became red and swollen, but his eyes were resolute and looked at Kuroda Shigetoku in front of him.
"General Kuroda, I beg you to promise me to lead two infantry squadrons and two artillery squadrons to Baode County." Momoyo Kunomura continued.
"Send a telegram to the division commander and the North China Front Headquarters, I decided to have a decisive battle with Sun Weiguo's troops, and the 13th Wing immediately went to fight in Baode County."
Kuroda Shigetoku glanced coldly at Kunomura Momoyo, and he said to the staff officer on the side.
Sending such a telegram, it was naturally Kuroda Shigetoku who wanted to take credit, he didn't want to give all the credit to Kunomura Momoyo once Sun Weiguo's troops were annihilated, and Kuroda Shigetoku also knew that if he didn't agree to Kunomura Momoyo's request, this matter would definitely go to the division headquarters.
"General Kuroda, this time I will definitely wipe out Sun Weiguo's troops." Kunomura Momoyo saluted respectfully, and then he left the regimental headquarters of the 26th Infantry Regiment, he quickly assembled two infantry squadrons, two mountain artillery squadrons, and quickly took a truck to Baode County.
At the same time, at the North City Gate of Baode County, the armored company under the leadership of the company commander Yin Jinshan had already been hidden, and they were waiting for the Japanese troops to escape from the North City Gate.
Two infantry guns were erected on a high ground, and the artillery squad leader held a telescope to look at it, with a solemn expression on his face.
THE TWO 20MM GUNS WERE DEPLOYED NEXT TO THE INFANTRY GUNS, AND THEY WERE TASKED WITH PROTECTING THE INFANTRY GUNS.
In front of the artillery position, machine gun emplacements were deployed, and here there were two light and heavy machine guns.
Nine tanks and nine armored vehicles were hidden on both sides of the road, led by company commander Yin Jinshan and deputy company commander Xiao Zhiwei.
"Company commander, how come Zheng Guanzilin's sniper team has come to us to fight, to deal with these little devils, our armored company still uses others to help, this is a big joke, as long as we are here, this little devil doesn't want to escape from here."
The commander of a Type 89 tank opened the roof cover, and after he got his head out, he muttered softly.
Originally, the reconnaissance company here was to cooperate with the armored company to fight, and after the reconnaissance was connected to Sun Weiguo's order to reconnoiter in the whole county of Baode County, Ge Haifeng immediately went with his troops to carry out the task, in order to ensure that the Japanese troops were not allowed to evacuate from the North City Gate, Sun Weiguo transferred the sniper team that had just been formed to cooperate with the armored company to fight.
"Don't talk about this nonsense, keep an eye on the little devils, no matter how many devil soldiers come out of the county, you have to completely annihilate them for me." Yin Jinshan looked at the north city gate with a telescope and said in a serious tone.
