Chapter 218: Continue the siege

When Nakamura Kotaro asked, he learned that the two brigades were surrounded by a division of the Chinese and could not come to Chengde. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the information he received was that Li Han was coming towards Chengde with an army of 20,000, which meant that there were only 10,000 people in the enclosure at most.

How can these two bastards be said to be surrounded, can't the two brigades of the empire still stop the troops of a division of the Chinese.

Fortunately, at this time, there has not been a case of Itagaki using a brigade to chase a division of the Jin Sui Army, otherwise, his division commander's company would have been knocked to the ground.

However, General Nakamura has no idea of punishing these two captains who damage the prestige of the Imperial Army for the time being, and what he wants to do now is to concentrate his forces.

So Nakamura Kotaro decisively ordered the two besieged brigades to abandon the paddock and Fengning, retreat to Chengde first, and defeat the main force of the security army with him.

As for whether these two brigades can break through the encirclement of the Chinese army, it is not at all within the scope of General Nakamura's consideration.

Did he let the two captains defeat the encircled enemy, but just let them break through, if he couldn't even do this, then these two brigades would not be able to play a role even if they reached Chengde.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the violent explosion, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and Aso Shaosa, who witnessed all this, closed his eyes in pain.

Aso was the captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Wing under the 5th Brigade, and after the 5th Brigade fought with the Chahar Allied Army, the brigade commander and the soldiers were basically replaced.

Aso was transferred from within the Japanese, so he inherited the arrogant and Chinese character of the Japanese.

After hearing the news that the 2nd Infantry Brigade was besieged, he took his brigade to relieve the siege without thinking, but was ambushed by the 2nd Brigade of Hu Zhibao 30 miles away from the county seat of Weichang.

Not only was there no way to relieve the 2nd Infantry Brigade, but it also put itself in an encirclement.

"Your Excellency the Captain, the division commander ordered us to break through the siege immediately and rush to Chengde to join the army of the division commander." At this moment, a second lieutenant came to Aso's side with a telegram.

"Eight...! Break through, what do I take to break through, all around is the army of the Zhina people, if I could break through, I would have broken through a long time ago. ”

Aso Shaozuo said angrily, he originally wanted to scold, but this was the order of the division commander, and Aso Dazuo had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now, there are already more than four hundred imperial soldiers who have broken their jade, but the Zhina army that surrounded us has not only not decreased, but has increased more and more."

The second lieutenant of the devil asked uneasily, the Chinese army surrounding them was at least five or six thousand people, and it was equipped with a large number of machine guns and cannons, and His Excellency Shao Zuo was beaten back several times when he broke through the siege.

This made the Japanese second lieutenant very worried, he was afraid that he would be killed by the Chinese soldiers, and at the critical moment, Aso, the captain, was naturally regarded as a savior by him. He hoped in his heart that Aso Shaosa would be able to create a miracle and lead the 3rd Infantry Brigade out of the predicament with him.

"Ask how the situation of the Second Infantry Brigade is, if you can, let them break through to us first, only by gathering the strength of our two brigades, it is possible to break out of the encirclement of the Chinese people."

Aso Shaozo said helplessly, with his little force, he couldn't even hold the position, why didn't he break through.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain."

After the second lieutenant left, Aso began to order the reduction of troops, although this would reduce their range of movement, but the firepower could be relatively concentrated.

"Divisional Seat, Military Seat Telegraph."

Wang Dazhu took the telegram, and after reading it, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"What does the military seat say!"

Lin Youzhi looked at Wang Dazhu's brows furrowed, and he was also anxious.

As soon as Li Han's side started, Gao Jian asked Lin Youzhi to reinforce Wang Dazhu according to Li Han's arrangement, and Lin Youzhihe set off with his troops overnight after receiving the order, and rushed to Duolun non-stop.

"The military seat asked me to deal with the enemy as soon as possible, and then rush to Chengde to join him as quickly as possible, and he also asked your independent brigade to set off immediately."

Wang Dazhu said with a serious expression, he knew very well in his heart that if the situation was not very serious, Li Han would not give him such an order, and even the independent brigade that was originally sent to support him would be transferred.

"It seems that the military seat is in trouble, Master Wang, then I will set off with the troops first." Lin Youzhi said with a slightly anxious face.

"Well, you go to support the military seat immediately, and when you arrive, please tell the military seat security division to arrive later." Wang Dazhu walked out of the command as he spoke, and after saying goodbye to Lin Youzhi, he turned around and got into a jeep.

"Go to the artillery regiment!" Wang Dazhu said to the driver.

In order to attract more Japanese troops to reinforce the enclosure county, Wang Dazhu has not been able to team the devils in the enclosure to move all his strength, and Hu Zhi is the same, but unfortunately Nakamura Kotaro, the old guy, was not fooled and took all the troops of the Eighth Division back to Chengde.

In this way, of course, there was no need for the two Japanese brigades that were surrounded to continue to exist.

"Brigade Seat, Division Seat ordered us to immediately launch a general attack on the Japanese army in the county town of Weichang, and the Division Seat has ordered the artillery regiment to provide us with artillery cover." Gu Ligong, chief of staff of the 1st Security Brigade, reported to Yan Chihuo.

"Got it, Chief of Staff, let the artillery battalion cooperate with the divisional artillery regiment to open artillery, and strive to directly attack the city at one time." Yan Chihuo quickly gave the battle order.

"Let's get started!"

With Wang Dazhu's order, thirty-six mountain guns of seven or five millimeters quickly fired shells at the county seat of Weichang. Just one volley blew up a large part of the already small city wall.

"Baga, is this still the weakly equipped Chinese army?"

The captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade in the paddock was taken aback, this was the third day of his siege, but the Chinese army had never shelled them on such a large scale as it did today, so that he had no idea that the troops on the opposite side were equipped with such a large artillery unit.

Looking at the two lonely Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squad, the captain of the devil brigade didn't even have the courage to fight back.

"Fire!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The artillery regiment of the 1st Security Division and the artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade opened fire continuously, and the roar of the cannons resounded through the heavens and the earth, billowing smoke rose at the head of the city, and a large area of the city wall was directly collapsed.

The Japanese troops deployed on it didn't even have a chance to scream, they were either blown to pieces by shells or buried directly by the collapsed city wall.

"Brothers, rush!"

The shelling lasted only five minutes, and there was not even an extension of the artillery fire, because the wall of the front of the paddock county had been blown into a gap with a diameter of more than fifty meters.

"Kill!"

With the help of artillery, the soldiers have no worries at all when charging, in the past battles, even if they occupy the advantage of troops, but every time they charge, they have to pay a great price to be able to rush to the position of the devil.

This is mainly because the devil's marksmanship is accurate, firepower is strong, not only the infantry's marksmanship is accurate, the devil's grenadier shooter and light and heavy machine gun shooter marksmanship are very accurate, their heavy machine gunners can hold the 92 type heavy machine gun for point fire, the soldiers charge in the face of such firepower, the casualties will not be small.

But this time it was different, not to mention that the firepower points and ghost soldiers in the city were cleared by the artillery, which greatly reduced the pressure on their advance.

The brigade seat also transferred two mortar batteries to the city gate, as long as the devil's machine gun fire or grenadier fire is fired, the mortar will be cleaned up immediately, and even the support of the brigade artillery battalion can be called directly.

Originally, there would definitely be a main attack and an assist in attacking this kind of city, but now that the city walls have been blown up by them, where else are the main attacks and assists, and the two regiments of the first brigade rushed into the paddock county almost in no particular order.

There was originally a brigade in the city, but it had lost more than half of it after being besieged by more than 6,000 people of Yan Chihuo for three days.

The remaining 300 or so devils had no chance to rearrange their firepower, and they had not yet recovered from the shelling just now, and Zhao Gang, the commander of the first security regiment, commanded three battalions of soldiers under his command to rush into the city.

Although there are 300 devils, they are still scattered in all corners of the city, although the captain of the devil brigade began to gather troops when he was bombarded.

However, their division commander angered our division commander Wang, and Wang Dazhu, who was angry, used an artillery regiment to bombard, how could the wall of Weichang County, which is less than ten meters high, withstand the bombardment of more than 30 cannons, only for the devil captain to buy less than ten minutes.

Due to the lack of troops, the devils in the city are all on combat missions again, and they are basically not in the barracks, where can they gather all the troops in ten minutes.

It wasn't until Zhao Gang took the security guards to the front of the devil captain that he had just gathered one hundred and fifty people, not even a squadron.

Zhao Gang had more than 2,000 people in one regiment, and the bullets rained down on the devil team, and the more than 100 people that the devil captain had managed to gather immediately decreased at an alarming speed, and soon recovered the size before the devil captain gathered the troops.

Unwilling to be defeated, the captain of the devil brigade could only retreat while fighting, and he always thought in his heart that there were more than a hundred imperial soldiers in the city, and as long as he joined these soldiers, he could kill more Chinese soldiers.

Zhao Gang is now the head of a regiment, so of course it is not his turn to charge into battle, but he has also grown up from a soldier, and watching his brothers chase after the Japanese soldiers, his heart is indescribably happy.

In addition to being happy, Zhao Gang also has some itching skills, saying that after becoming the head of the regiment, he rarely has the opportunity to fight devils with a gun in person, and I don't know if this marksmanship has regressed.
