Chapter 845: The Crisis of the Japanese Army
The first battalion of the Anonymous Regiment Replenishment sacrificed a company commander, and the officers and men were extremely painful, but now they did not have time to grieve, and the officers and soldiers once again launched a fierce attack on Dongzhai Town.
Fierce fighting began, supplemented by the first battalion of infantry guns, heavy machine guns, 60mm mortars, Czech light machine guns, Type 38 rifles and other weapons began to fire.
Japanese planes had already begun to complete their bombing, and twelve guns of the Japanese artillery corps had begun to be suppressed.
ON THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY POSITION, A 75MM FIELD GUN WAS FIRING, AND A SHELL WAS IMMEDIATELY FIRED.
But just as the field gun finished firing and was about to continue reloading the shells, a barrage of bullets came at the Japanese artillerymen.
The Japanese artillerymen had no chance to react, and they were sieveed by bullets.
"Quick, rush over, suppress the devil soldiers, don't let them open fire." A platoon commander shouted, and he rushed straight at it with a submachine gun.
Several Japanese artillerymen also wanted to raise their rifles to counterattack, but the platoon commander raised his submachine gun and fired a strafing shot, and the submachine gun bullets hit the devil soldiers, and the devil soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
THIS GROUP OF ASSAULT TEAMS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO RUSH OVER, AND THIS JAPANESE 75MM FIELD GUN IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO BE CAPTURED.
The Japanese units began to be clearly at a disadvantage, and more than a dozen assault groups of the first battalion had already begun to capture the Japanese positions.
Fang Chaoqun, the commander of the Unknown Regiment, led the troops to charge with a shell gun, and the officers and soldiers all had firm expressions on their faces, and they did not have any idea of retreating.
If you advance, you will not retreat, and you will not go according to the rules, this is the armband worn by the officers and soldiers of the Unknown Regiment, and now, they have done it.
In Dongzhai Town, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the second brigade headquarters.
Tsuneoka's face became extremely gloomy, and he looked at the map, his heart full of worry.
The garrison of the brigade headquarters was very weak, and the attacking Japanese troops numbered in the thousands, which made Toneoka realize that it was only a matter of time before the town of Dongzhai was lost.
"Whether the troops have been contacted or not, when will they be able to get over?" Tsuneoka Kanji looked at Chief of Staff Nakasa, and he asked anxiously.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, at present, the First Independent Infantry Brigade has lost contact, the Third Independent Infantry Brigade has been severely damaged, and the Fourth Independent Infantry Brigade is pinned down by the Chinese tank force and cannot be reinforced for the time being. This force of the Chinese army is very tenacious in its will to fight, they are not afraid of death at all, so far, the Chinese army has been killed more than 50 people, but they have never taken a step back. ”
Chief of Staff Nakasa immediately came to Kanji Tsuneoka, he looked at Kanji Tsuneoka, and said with a solemn expression on his face.
After hearing the report of Chief of Staff Nakasa, the expression on Toneoka's face became more solemn, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Is there any news from the 26th Division, have they sent reinforcements, why did the troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appear in Ningwu County, and why did they launch an attack on us."
Kanji Tsuneoka stared at the map, his face full of confusion.
Previously, the North China Front Army judged the dynamics of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division, and the North China Front Army believed that the troops of the Honorary Second Division would stick to Wutai County and would not take the initiative to attack.
Before the troops of the Independent Mixed Second Brigade entered Ningwu County, they also learned through the intelligence agency that there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in Ningwu County, but now the most elite troops of the Eighth Route Army's Honorary Second Division appeared in Ningwu County, which made Changgang Kanji extremely stunned, especially the armored troops of the Honorary Second Division that appeared in Ningwu County.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the sudden appearance of the troops of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army in Ningwu County is very likely related to our destruction of the cemetery of the fallen officers and soldiers of the Zhina Army in Hequ County, and in addition to this, we did not provoke the troops of the Eighth Route Army in China. In addition, the troops of the 26th Division have already called back, and they have begun to send an infantry wing to reinforce them, and His Excellency Hou Guanchun, the commander of the 26th Division, has reported this matter to the North China Front, and I believe that the North China Front Command will respond soon. ”
Chief of Staff Nakasa looked at Kanji Tsuneoka and said with a serious expression on his face.
After hearing the report of Chief of Staff Nakasa, Tsuneoka looked at the map and was relieved to hear that the 26th Division had sent an infantry wing.
But at this time, a Japanese lieutenant hurriedly came to the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, no, the machine-gun positions have been broken through, and the machine-gun squadron of the 5th Brigade has been destroyed with five heavy machine guns. Six artillery pieces deployed in various places have also been destroyed, and the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and it is very likely that the troops of the Eighth Route Army will break into the town at any time, Your Excellency the brigade commander, please evacuate here as soon as possible. ”
After the lieutenant came to Kanji Tsuneoka, he hurriedly reported.
"Boom, boom!"
Shells continued to hit the town, explosions continued to sound, and the devil soldiers began to pay a heavy price for casualties.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are already more than 30 casualties in the engineering team, and if we don't move quickly, I'm afraid that before the Chinese troops can attack here, the engineering team will be killed by all the shells. Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, let's move immediately, otherwise the situation will be unimaginable. ”
The young captain of the engineer team immediately came to Tsuneoka Kanji, he looked at Tsuneoka Kanji, and reported in a solemn tone.
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Kanji Tsuneoka immediately stood up, his brows furrowed tightly, but he didn't make up his mind for a long time.
Evacuating Dongzhai Town now is a very difficult thing for Tokooka Kanji, and now Tokooka Kanji has not many troops in his hands, and if he wants to evacuate, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army, so Tokooka Kanji has no intention of evacuating.
What's more, once Dongzhai Town falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, then the Eighth Route Army will completely cut off the connection between the Independent Mixed Second Brigade and the 26th Division, and the Independent Mixed Second Brigade is likely to be completely annihilated.
Dai County, Lianhua Village, Headquarters of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army.
When the vanguard of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army entered Dai County, the 26th Division Headquarters immediately followed to Dai County and established a division headquarters in Lianhua Village.
After receiving the telegram from Tsuneoka Kanji, the commander of the 26th Division, Hou Guan Chun, the commander of the division, immediately began to deploy the troops of the 11th Wing to reinforce the past, and at the same time Hou Guan Chun began to report to the North China Front.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is in an emergency, the troops of the Eighth Route Army of China have disrupted the establishment of the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and the headquarters of the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has lost contact with the various departments, and now the headquarters of the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is being attacked by the troops of the Zhina, and their brigade headquarters will be captured at any time."
Bai Yin, chief of staff of the 26th Division, came to Houguan Chun, and he reported in a solemn tone.
