Chapter 389: Overwhelming Superiority

The 2nd Battalion launched an attack on the South Gate of Baode County, and light and heavy machine gun mortars continued to fire to suppress the fire of the Japanese city walls.

There was a lot of movement at the south gate, although the first and third battalions did not receive orders, but they heard that the second battalion was attacking here, and the two battalions also began to attack, and the soldiers were holding back their anger in their hearts, and after hearing the sound of gunfire, naturally no one could restrain them.

EACH BATTALION STILL HAS THREE 60MM MORTARS AND EIGHTEEN 50MM GRENADIERS TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION, AND AFTER KNOWING THAT THE JAPANESE ARMY HAS SET UP A MINEFIELD, THE THREE BATTALION COMMANDERS IMMEDIATELY ORGANIZED AN ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT OF THE MINEFIELD AND OPENED A SAFE PASSAGE.

The Japanese army had a squadron of Japanese infantry and a machine gun squad deployed at each city gate, and they were armed with three Type 92 heavy machine guns, nine light machine guns, and nine grenadiers, without any artillery to support the operation.

ON THE CONTRARY, EACH BATTALION OF THE FIRST RESERVE REGIMENT WAS EQUIPPED WITH THREE 82MM MORTARS, THREE MAXIN HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, THREE TYPE 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, EIGHTEEN LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND EIGHTEEN GRENADIERS, AND EACH BATTALION COULD BE SUPPORTED BY EIGHT 75MMM MOUNTAIN GUNS.

In terms of weapon comparison, the 1st Reserve Regiment was able to crush the Japanese troops, and the Japanese minefields were attacked by artillery shells, which detonated many mines.

However, when some fighters passed through the minefield, they occasionally detonated some mines, causing casualties to the fighters.

The fire on the walls was suppressed by the artillerymen, and the soldiers quickly approached the gates and began to blast the gates with explosives packs and cluster grenades, while many fighters erected ladders on the walls, and some of them quickly began to climb along the ladders.

The first reserve regiment had no experience in siege, but Sun Weiguo had been trained in siege.

"Light machine gun suppression, you stupid people, quickly let the sixth company hold on to the ladder, and the fifth company hurry up and stare at the ladder to go up."

Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the second battalion, brandished a shell gun, and he was the first to come to the top of the ladder, and at the same time he shouted loudly.

Grenades were thrown from the walls without warning, and explosions rang out one after another.

"Light machine gun cover, suppress the devil soldiers." Fu Tao immediately gave the order.

More than a dozen light machine guns were organized, and bullets began to shoot at the city wall, and several ghost soldiers who had just shown their heads and wanted to throw grenades were shot in the head on the spot, and at the same time, the grenadiers began to shoot micro grenades at the city wall.

As the second battalion concentrated light machine gun and grenadier fire, the Japanese troops on the city wall began to be suppressed to the death, and Wang Tieniu, deputy commander of the second battalion, led dozens of soldiers from the fifth company to the city wall through ladders.

As the soldiers of the first regiment came to the city wall, the fire of the second battalion did not dare to continue shooting, they were afraid that they would accidentally injure themselves.

The little devils, led by their own squadron leader, quickly installed bayonets, and these little devils wanted to deal with the Chinese troops through white-knuckle combat.

"Bang bang." The three devil soldiers who rushed towards Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the second battalion, were shot one after another, and their bodies fell to the ground limply.

After emptying the bullets in the shell gun, Wang Tieniu quickly changed the magazine, and he continued to shoot at the devil soldiers.

There is only one infantry squadron of devil soldiers stationed on the wall of the south city gate, and after a battle, they have paid more than 30 casualties, and now the captain squadron leader with more than 100 devil soldiers wants to drive Wang Tieniu and others away, but it is not an easy task.

What's more, the soldiers of the second battalion are coming to the city wall one after another along the ladder, and as the soldiers of the second battalion come to the city wall more and more, it is difficult for the Japanese troops to prevent the soldiers of the first regiment from entering the city wall.

"Captain, the Chinese troops have landed on the city wall, and now that more and more Chinese troops have landed on the city wall, we simply can't stop their pace. Captain, do we evacuate immediately now? ”

A Japanese lieutenant hurriedly ran to Hideaki Okamoto's brigade headquarters, and when he came to Hideaki Okamoto, the Japanese lieutenant hurriedly shouted.

After hearing the report of the Japanese lieutenant, Hideaki Okamoto couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he looked at the Japanese lieutenant in front of him in disbelief, knowing that it had not been an hour since Hideaki Okamoto heard the sound of gunfire outside.

And his subordinates reported that the troops of the first reserve regiment had landed on the city wall, which meant that the first reserve regiment only took less than an hour to enter the county seat.

"How is this possible, what the hell is going on, if only a small force enters the city walls, let the troops drive them down. It was only eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was still an hour before the wing commander asked for the time to be stationed, and the county town garrisoned by one of our brigades was conquered by the Chinese troops in less than an hour, which would be the greatest shame for our imperial army. ”

Looking at the Japanese lieutenant in front of him, Hideaki Okamoto's face became gloomy, and he said in an unkind tone.

The Japanese lieutenant showed an embarrassed expression on his face, he looked at Hideaki Okamoto, and said in an anxious tone: "Captain, the first regiment of the reserve of Shina is equipped with eight 75MM mountain guns, and they are also supported by nine 82MM mortars, and they are more numerous than us in terms of grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns, and the troops on the city wall are suppressed by them, and there is no chance to shoot at all, captain, if you don't give the order to retreat, everything will be too late." ”

Hearing the lieutenant's report again, Hideaki Okamoto's face became solemn, and he immediately picked up the microphone and dialed the phone directly.

The personnel in the brigade headquarters began to pack their things, and these little devils had shocked expressions on their faces.

It was the first time they fought against Sun Weiguo's troops, but they didn't expect that Sun Weiguo's troops would be so strong.

"Captain, the troops of the first regiment of the reserve of China have climbed the city wall, and at present my troops are not capable of driving them down, now we must evacuate the county seat, otherwise it is very likely that they will be surrounded and annihilated, has the Mongolian cavalry unit been dispatched?"

After connecting the phone, Hideaki Okamoto hurriedly asked, and his tone became hurried at this moment.

According to Hideaki Okamoto's previous speculation, it would take at least two or three hours to conquer the county town after the first regiment of the reserve troops attacked, but he did not expect that in less than an hour, the Chinese troops had already landed on the city wall, and the Japanese troops had no way to drive these Chinese troops away.

"The Ninth Cavalry Division has set off, they will arrive at the county seat in about ten minutes, they will meet you at the North City Gate, once they appear, the Zhi Na troops lying in ambush outside the North City Gate will definitely be dispatched, and you can take the opportunity to quickly break out."

After Kunomura Momoyo heard Hideaki Okamoto's report, he was not too surprised, he said in a calm tone.

"Wing Commander, I'll gather my troops right away." Hideaki Okamoto said hurriedly.

After hanging up the phone, Hideaki Okamoto immediately gave the three infantry squadrons stationed at the West Gate, South Gate, and East Gate to retreat.
