"Gao Jian, Hu Zhi, order the troops to abandon the position at the head of the city, and all the troops withdraw into the city!" Li Han ordered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For Li Han's retreat, the devils did not pursue, not because they didn't want to, but because they were also exhausted and didn't have the strength to attack anymore.

So far, the attacking troops of the devils have been fighting for six or seven hours in a row, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade has not only suffered heavy casualties, but also consumed weapons and ammunition very badly.

The captain of the devil team only felt a little regret in his heart because he was unable to completely annihilate the defenders of the Zhina on the position, but his Excellency the captain was still very satisfied with the results he had achieved, and he couldn't wait to send a good report to His Excellency the joint captain.

It turned out that the captain's behavior was completely superfluous, and the moment the plaster flag was raised at the head of Jianping County, Yoshio Nagano knew for the first time that Jianping County was finally taken.

However, when he received the telegram, he was happy to share the good news of the victory with his colleagues in the command.

After paying heavy casualties and suffering great mental torture, they finally occupied the head position of the Chinese people.

This also means that the county town of Jianping has been conquered by them, and the captain and the only remaining squadron leader of the third brigade are cheering with their soldiers.

This battle was fought extremely hard, and the will of the defenders of China to resist was beyond their expectations, and even the devil elites of the 6th Division, who had a tenacious style, were proud to win this battle.

Just as the devils were shouting excitedly at the city gate tower to celebrate the victory, Li Han had already retreated to the county center with the withdrawn troops.

After more than a day of blocking battles, the four battalions suffered more than 300 casualties and more than 400 remained, excluding the cavalry companies sent out, only 200 people remained in the city. The volunteer battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties, and there are still about 300 people, the casualties of the two companies of the 107th Brigade are relatively small, and there are still more than 260 people, and there are still about 700 people left in the entire county garrison.

This also means that in just over a day, as the side defending the city, Li Han and them suffered more than 600 casualties.

That's it, because Li Han had been preparing for this battle before the war, and all kinds of fortifications on the city wall were complete, and the soldiers had sufficient weapons and ammunition in their hands.

After retreating to the city, Li Han divided a two-kilometer radius near the county government into four defensive areas, each of which sent about a company of troops to defend it.

Due to the large casualties of the first and second companies, Li Han had to temporarily merge the second company into the first company, and temporarily assigned Zhao Gang to Lin Youzhi's command to protect their rear roads.

The other companies freely attacked the little devils in their own defensive areas, with only one purpose, that is, to drag the little devils firmly in Jianping County.

Li Han also divided Xu Hu's artillery company into three artillery platoons, one followed Lin Youzhi and they were responsible for defending the rear, one followed himself to support the fire at any time, and the other was led by Xu Hu himself to move freely in the city.

Besides, on the devil's side, after people occupy the position at the head of the city, of course they won't just stay in the city and do nothing. Now that the city of China has been occupied, according to past experience, the time has come to make a fortune.

Except for a squadron of devils who went to the county center to prepare to occupy the county government, the other devils began to collect money and women door to door.

This is their routine, after all, after such a big battle, the devil also needs to relax and relax. At that time, there were not many projects that could allow soldiers to move, and the troops were full of big men, and the only thing that could relax them was women.

Anyway, there is no shortage of women and money in China, and the high-ranking officers of the devil turn a blind eye and connive at the soldiers under them to vent.

It may be because Li Han has done a good job, or maybe the gunfire near Jianping County has not stopped in the past few days, so most of the people in the city have moved away. Even if some people wanted to join Japan, they did not dare to stay in the city at this time.

Because even if the Japanese knew him, but the Japanese guns didn't know them, and they couldn't take care of their own lives in the rain of bullets, who could take care of them, so these people also hid in other places early, and they could only come back when the war was over.

The devil soldiers searched a lot of places aimlessly, but they didn't even see a single figure after searching around, and gradually their search range naturally became larger and larger. In this way, some fast-moving devils quickly searched for Li Han's defensive area that they had already predetermined.

The devils thought that the city gate was lost, and the Chinese army must have all fled, but who knew that there were still positions in the city, and the devils were in groups of three or five, without the slightest preparation.

As a result, the devils who arrived near the position first added up to almost a small team, and on the other side, a squadron of devils was quickly approaching the county government building.

Because they had just defeated the Chinese army, these devils behaved very easily, although their steps were neat, but their heads were unconsciously looking left and right, as if they were looking at something valuable around them.

Although the entire county is already their trophy at the moment, the devil is not alone. According to the logic of their robbers, these valuable things are now ownerless, and for the robbers, the treasures are naturally first-come, first-served, so the devil soldiers have always kept their eyes wide, just afraid that they will suffer losses.

The sudden gunfire in the distance suddenly made the devil team in the middle of the group take a big jump, and more than 100 people collectively lay down at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular.

I saw that the leader of the devil squadron said a few words to the herald beside him, and after a while, more than a dozen devils immediately stood up and began to search forward.

And all this was seen by Li Han, who was in charge of the county center, but he did not set up the command post in the county government building, where the target was too obvious and easy to be shelled by devils. Instead, choose a relatively inconspicuous primary school.

The primary school in the county has two teaching buildings, each with two floors, but the height of the floors is relatively high, each floor is three meters and a half high, the two floors add up to seven meters high, and there is a top floor with a tiled roof, where you can clearly see the scene within a radius of 100 meters.

Seeing the little devils walking towards him in a neat line, a cold light flashed in Li Han's eyes, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the artillery opened fire on the devil's vanguard. At this time, Xu Hu had not walked away, and two artillery platoons and six mortars began to greet the little devil.

More than a dozen devil soldiers had just walked a distance of more than ten meters before they were killed or wounded in the first round of shelling.

After the spearhead was shelled, the little devil immediately reacted, and six grenadier groups quickly opened fire in the direction of our artillery position.

This devil squadron did not carry artillery guns, so it could only use six grenadiers to fight with six mortars of our army, and an artillery battle with a huge disparity in strength began.

In addition, Xu Hu is in the dark, and the devil grenadier is in the light. Although the devil's grenadier soldiers hit very accurately, they only had a general direction, which greatly weakened the power of the grenadier, and Xu Hu was just the opposite, there were hidden people everywhere in the city, and someone was responsible for reporting the location of the devil, even if it was a few streets away.

Within a few minutes of the shelling of the two sides, four of the devil's grenadiers were killed, and the other two groups of devils were immediately separated, and at the same time they had to change places with one shot.

In this way, the power of the grenadier is greatly reduced, and the artillery can also let go of their hands to open fire, wave after wave of shells directly into the ranks of the devils, and the main road of the county town is only a few battles wide, and more than 100 little devils surround here, making the effect of the shelling extremely good.

As long as there are seven or eight devils surrounded by them, it is guaranteed that one shell will explode in this place, and after a few shells, the devils of this squadron will be reimbursed half. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the devil squadron decisively gave the order to break through the houses on both sides of the road to avoid the enemy's shelling.

This order was a shame for him, he was ordered to come and announce that the imperial army had taken over the county, but in front of the county government building, he was beaten by the Chinese army and discarded his armor.

What is even more humiliating is that they did not even see the face of the enemy, and more than half of the squadron suffered casualties.

Of course, compared to his life, the leader of the devil squadron still wisely chose to save his life. If he continues to be blown up like this, all his subordinates will be shattered.

At this stage, the artillery battle can be over, and the next moment is the time for the infantry to perform. And the battle here should have reached the ears of Yoshio Nagano, and it is estimated that the large army of devils will arrive soon.

This order of the leader of the devil squadron can be regarded as completely destroying the vitality of this team. In order to be able to fight this street battle well, Li Han has opened all the houses on several main roads in the city, so that the soldiers can retreat or attack in time.

However, these passages have some disguises, and they cannot be found without careful observation. The remaining more than eighty devils retreated into more than a dozen large houses, and there were only seven or eight devils in each house, and this Li Han provided an opportunity to break each one.

Li Han took a soldier of two guard squads and quickly approached the house where the devil squadron leader was hiding through the secret passage.

At the same time, the other departments responsible for defending the center of the county also quietly approached the devils of several other houses through the secret passage.

The Devil Squadron Leader was racking his brains at this time, how to report to the captain and the co-leader.

Their squadron was already the last fully formed squadron of the Thirteenth Wing except for the guard squadron, and now they were killed by half of the Zhina Army in this senseless way, if they couldn't find a good reason, His Excellency the Captain probably wouldn't let him go easily.

At this moment, Li Han had already reached the back of a camouflaged gate, and on the other side of the door was the appearance of a wall made of bricks, the middle of which was hollow, and it was impossible to find it on the surface. The devil is running for his life, and of course he doesn't have the heart to check if there is a mechanism in the house.

After signaling the people on the left and right to get ready, Li Han took a few steps back, then accelerated and ran, and finally jumped up and kicked heavily on the door.

Rumble!

The whole gate fell inward with a bang, and at the same time as the gate collapsed, a squad of soldiers quickly rushed into the room, and the muzzle of the gun was directly aimed at the devils, and the devils were stunned one by one, as if they did not understand why a good wall would collapse for no reason.
