Chapter 118: The City Breaker is still there
Until the sky gradually darkened, the Japanese army, which had been attacking continuously for a whole day, had to stop for a while to repair. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They marched all the way to dozens of kilometers before they arrived at Xuanhua, and then they didn't have time to catch their breath, so they immediately launched an attack on Xuanhua City.
That is, if an animal army like the devil changes to any army, and then continues to attack the opponent who is waiting for him in such a forced march, it will definitely not collapse by itself.
Although it blocked the attack of the devils, but after this day's fierce battle, the losses of the security regiment were not small, and the attacks of the two elite brigades of the devils were not so resistant, and in this day's time, the security regiment suffered half of the casualties.
"Father, I don't know if my little sister has succeeded there."
Yan Chihuo said to Yan Zhonghua with a worried face, he had heard others say how powerful the little devil's troops were, and Yan Chihuo still didn't believe it somewhat.
But after this battle with the devil, he must admit that he really underestimated the devil. Yan Chihuo is a person who only believes in his own eyes, although the devil is rumored to be so evil.
However, they suffered such a big loss under the city of Duolun, not only lost four or five thousand people, but also were completely annihilated by a wing.
This made Yan Chihuo feel that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was a bit exaggerated, and besides, he himself graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, which was much better than the Northeast Martial Arts Hall that Li Han attended, at least it would not be worse.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the security regiment are much more advanced than those of the devils, even if they can't defeat the devils, it shouldn't be difficult to block their attack.
However, when the real fight started, Yan Chihuo found that it was not the case at all, and his artillery company only fired a few shells from four 75-caliber field guns, which were destroyed by the Japanese artillery.
Of course, it was the devil's infantry that caused the greatest casualties to the security regiment, and the rifles of these devil's soldiers were like eyes, and they were specially aimed at the vital points of the soldiers. After several rounds of shooting, even with the city wall as a cover, the casualties of the security regiment were still far greater than those of the Japanese army.
So much so that in the end, he was beaten to the gate of the city by a squadron of devils, but fortunately, Yan Chihuo organized his troops in time and drove the Japanese army back through white-knuckle combat.
"Why, I'm scared!"
Yan Zhonghua said to Yan Chihuo with a smile, although there were devils' troops outside the city, and there was chaos in the city, but Yan Zhonghua didn't see the slightest nervous look on his face.
Although Yan Chihuo was not very satisfied with the performance of the security team, Yan Zhonghua felt that it was very good for the security team to be able to do this.
Although the security regiment is also a well-trained and well-equipped unit, it is basically a veteran who has never been on the battlefield.
If they are only well-trained, will their training still surpass that of the Japanese army, and the two brigades equipped with devils only have four infantry guns, but they are inferior to the field artillery of the security regiment.
Even though Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa strengthened Junichiro Kasaka with two infantry guns, there was still a gap between him and the artillery company of the security regiment.
However, the artillery of the security regiment is all based on experience and feeling, while the artillery of the Japanese army uses scientific and technological means, and the soldiers also have a certain cultural foundation, from artillery scouts to gunners have formed a set of assembly line operation mode.
As soon as the two sides fought, the artillery company of the security regiment was served by the devil's infantry artillery, which turned Yan Chihuo's proud equipment advantage into a disadvantage.
Yan Zhonghua cared about his son's performance that made him very satisfied, he himself was old, and it was impossible for him to pick up a gun and go to the front line to fight the enemy and Japanese like a young man.
That's why he pinned his hopes on his son, and Yan Zhonghua hoped that his son would be a useful person to the country.
Today, Yan Chihuo did not feel that his life was more noble than others because he was the head of a group and the son of the mayor.
On the contrary, like a soldier, he is always in the line of fire, and it is precisely because of his leading role that he can unite the hearts of the soldiers of the security regiment.
'There will be no greed for life, and the soldiers will have the heart of death', and the security regiment will work together to stop the Japanese army outside the city.
"Father, what are you talking about, if the son is afraid of the Japanese, he will not stay and wait for the devil to come to the door. I'm just worried about my little sister's safety, and I'm also afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, Xuanhua will be lost. ”
Yan Chihuo heard his father ask like this, and suddenly became a little anxious.
"Okay, I'm just kidding you. But Chihuo, your performance today has made my father very satisfied.
As for Ruxue's side, she had already sent a telegram in the morning that she had successfully found reinforcements, and the entire 145th Brigade was currently on its way to mobilize, and it was expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon.
I wanted to tell you about this at noon, but you were in command of the city during the day, so I never had a chance to tell you. But it is precisely because of this that I can see your determination to fight devils, and it is not in vain that I sent you to Baoding Military Academy to study. ”
Yan Zhonghua's requirements for his son and daughter are completely different, in his opinion, the country is in trouble, and as a man, Yan Chihuo should of course come forward, but Yan Ruxue is a daughter's family, as long as she can teach her husband and children.
Of course, Yan Zhonghua is not an old antique, and he does not agree with the view that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', so he sent Yan Ruxue to study at Peking University.
Yan Ruxue volunteered to find reinforcements, Yan Zhonghua disagreed at first, but thought that if there were no reinforcements, Xuanhua would not be able to escape the fall. agreed to Yan Ruxue's request again, even if no reinforcements could be found, as long as Yan Ruxue could survive, it was enough.
"Great! Father, don't worry, although my security regiment has suffered heavy losses, there are still more than 1,000 brothers, and they have a favorable location, so there is no problem in blocking the devil's attack for a day.
Father, rest first, I will go to the regiment now to see the brothers, tomorrow there will definitely be a tough battle to be fought. ”
Yan Chihuo is very happy, his father has always been very strict with himself, and it is not easy to get his father's approval.
Coupled with the fact that reinforcements were also coming, Yan Chihuo's confidence soared, although it was night, he felt that the night light in the sky was brighter than the day.
I am afraid that there are no people in this world who are really not afraid of death, and Yan Chihuo certainly doesn't want to die, but when the Japanese invades our rivers and mountains and plunders our land, they will choose to resist without hesitation, even if they die in battle.
No matter what the Yan father and son think, His Excellency Junichiro Kasaka is full of joy, the defenders of Shina in the city have suffered heavy casualties in today's battle, and although his two brigades also suffered a lot of casualties, they are completely within the bearable range.
Now that they have surrounded Xuanhua on all sides, they can launch a final general attack as soon as it dawns tomorrow, and as long as they can successfully occupy Xuanhua, Junichiro Kasaka believes that the time for him to be promoted to wing captain is just around the corner.
Thinking of this, even though it is already past three o'clock in the morning, Junichiro Kasaka is still full of energy and spirit, and he is waiting for tomorrow to come.
Thundered! Thundered!
At dawn the next day, when the sky had just begun to whiten, Junichiro Kasaka began to move, and the roar of six Type 92 infantry guns kicked off a new day of war.
"The devil is coming, give me a hard beating, and the reinforcements will be back soon."
Yan Chihuo saw from a distance through the telescope that the devil's infantry began to quickly approach the city gate under the cover of artillery fire, and the two big iron gates at the city gate had been blown up by the devil as early as yesterday.
So Yan Chihuo arranged a company of soldiers to build fortifications at the city gate, and ordered them to hold the position even if there was only one person left.
When the soldiers of the security regiment heard that reinforcements were coming, their morale immediately soared, people are like this, they are already in a desperate situation, but when they suddenly find a chance to survive, they will immediately burst out with an unimaginable force.
"Report to the brigade, the Japanese army has entered Xuanhua City, and the defenders are currently relying on the terrain in the city to fight street battles with the Japanese army."
The scout's voice came clearly to Li Han's ears, not only Li Han, but also Shi Shi'an, Gao Jian, and Yan Ruxue beside him.
"What? How could it be so fast! What can I do? ”
When Yan Ruxue heard that the Japanese army had entered the city, she panicked for a while, and she was about to cry in a hurry.
Although Yan Ruxue performed very well in Li Hanna, she was a girl after all, and she was also a college student, and her parents and family were all in Xuanhua, so of course she would panic when she heard the news.
"Miss Yan, don't worry, didn't the scout just say that the defenders are fighting with the Japanese army, which proves that Xuanhua has not completely fallen, and now that my 145th Brigade has arrived, the death of the little devil has arrived."
Li Han saw Yan Ruxue's crying appearance, and hurriedly said comfortingly, about to go to war, a crying woman suddenly appeared in the army, what is this called.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Ruxue's answer, and immediately began to command the troops to attack the Japanese army.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Shi, you take the 14th Regiment and the 16th Regiment to detour from both sides to outflank the Japanese army at the south gate, and the 15th Regiment attacks from the front.
The guard battalion left a company to cover the artillery battalion, and when the artillery battalion was ready, it immediately shelled in the direction of the devil's depth, and the reconnaissance battalion and the guard company went with me to join Commander Wang and try to eat this devil in one bite. ”
Li Han now also deeply realized the benefits of having more people, and sent out two regiments of more than 6,000 people to outflank the devils, and there were nearly 6,000 people who could be used to attack frontally, and it was the first time he had fought such a rich battle.
Although the devil's brigade has already entered the city, there are still two squads left in the headquarters outside the city to guard the supplies and ammunition, as well as to guard the enemies that may appear nearby.
Chahar is now a mess of porridge, full of imperial troops and Shina troops, and Junichiro Kasaka is also worried that he is fighting Zhenghuan in front and suddenly being stabbed in the eye, it will be a real tragedy.
Although he also thinks that such a probability is unlikely, as a mid-to-senior officer, the words 'maybe, probably' cannot appear in his dictionary, and if they appear, they will be strangled in the cradle.
The warriors of the Imperial Army of the two squads can temporarily resist the attack of the first-level troops of the Shina battalion, as for the larger ones, they are not in the scope of Junichiro Kasahana for the time being, and that should be the matter of His Excellency the General and the Wing Commander.
