Chapter 1238: Must Evacuate
The 114th Wing and the 124th Wing of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army began to be jointly attacked by the 201st Division and the Honorary Fourth Division, and the situation of the 114th Wing was not bad, after all, they strengthened the anti-tank guns, and were supported by an infantry brigade of the 124th Wing, but more than 2,000 people from the two infantry brigades of the 124th Wing were attacked by the troops of the Honorary Fourth Division, and they were under great pressure.
When Ye Zimin's provisional 6th Division troops entered the city again and attacked the Japanese 23rd Brigade troops, the 23rd Brigade Major General and Brigade Commander Yuan Shousande had a solemn expression on his face.
Before, with the emergency of the East City Gate, a brigade of the 124th Wing reinforced the 23rd Brigade was immediately transferred back, and now only the Heavy Soldiers Wing and the First Brigade of the 55th Wing are stationed here at the North City Gate, and the first brigade of the 55th Wing is currently only more than 500 people, and they still have to hold on to the gap here, after all, the pressure brought to them by the 14th Division and the 18th Division is not small.
However, when the troops of the Sixth Division appeared here, Yuan Shousande was a little crying without tears, and the little force in his hand could not stop the three divisions of the Chinese army at all.
He immediately ordered the main force of the 55th Wing of the Japanese Army stationed at the West Gate to quickly reinforce the North City Gate, and at the same time he immediately contacted the division headquarters to request tactical guidance.
"Boom, boom."
One by one, the shells quickly hit the Japanese army, and the two brigades of 2,000 people of the baggage wing immediately began to enter the fortifications, and in the face of the attack of the provisional sixth division, the baggage soldiers had no ability to counterattack, although these baggage soldiers strengthened some light and heavy weapons, but they did not have artillery.
IN THE FACE OF THE JAPANESE 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY OF THE PROVISIONAL SIXTH DIVISION, THESE BAGGAGE SOLDIERS COULD ONLY DODGE.
The provisional 14th Regiment of the Provisional Sixth Division began to attack the Japanese position, and the Provisional Sixth Division, which had been serving as a reserve, was fully organized, and the Provisional 14th Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese army under the personal leadership of the division commander Ye Zimin.
Because there was no artillery to return fire, the baggage soldiers could only silently withstand the shelling, and several devil soldiers wanted to check the situation outside, but as soon as they showed their bodies, they were hit by shrapnel.
The devil soldiers who were hit died on the spot, and those who hit the devil soldiers wailed in pain.
Taking advantage of the artillery cover, the troops of the 14th Provisional Regiment quickly approached the position of the devil soldiers, and as the shelling stopped, the Japanese began to counterattack.
However, the weapons of the 14th Provisional Regiment had already been erected, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns had also begun to be concealed to provide fire cover for the soldiers.
Due to insufficient equipment, the units of the Fifth and Sixth Provisional Divisions were all equipped with captured Japanese-style weapons, but these weapons were sufficient.
Each battalion had six Type 92 heavy machine guns, and three battalions were armed with eighteen Type 92 heavy machine guns, which belonged to each battalion's machine gun company.
The cannon company followed the infantry, but as soon as they reached a certain distance from the Japanese position, the heavy machine guns were immediately concealed to provide cover for the infantry.
As the mountain artillery battery stopped firing, the Japanese began to organize counterattack fire, and the heavy machine guns began to fire fiercely.
Bullets rained down on the Japanese position, and more than a dozen devilish soldiers were killed on the spot.
The officers and men quickly approached the front, and the little devil could not stop the officers and soldiers from marching at all.
"Da-da-da-da." A Type 92 heavy machine gun on the Japanese baggage position began to fire, and bullets came at one after another.
When the Type 92 heavy machine gun began to fire, the concealed grenadiers began to fire.
"Boom, boom."
Seven or eight miniature grenades fired at the Devil Soldier heavy machine gun, which was destroyed on the spot.
"Bagaya Road, the firepower of the Chinese troops is too strong, contact the wing headquarters immediately, we can't stop them from advancing at all, ask for tactical guidance."
Seeing that his troops had suffered more than a hundred casualties in an instant, the captain of the heavy soldier Shaozuo said with a solemn expression on his face.
A communications soldier immediately began to pick up the microphone and quickly contacted the headquarters of the baggage corps, ready to report the situation here.
"Boom, boom." THE ANTI-TANK GUN PLATOON DIRECTLY UNDER THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE PROVISIONAL 14TH REGIMENT BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND TWO 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS IMMEDIATELY FIRED ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS.
The headquarters of the Little Devil Brigade is on the front line, and it has also become a key target for anti-tank artillery strikes.
As soon as the devil soldier communication soldier picked up the microphone, an armor-piercing bullet directly shattered his body, and the first brigade headquarters of the Japanese baggage wing was directly destroyed.
Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually appeared in the south, in the center of Huaxian County, in the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army.
As soon as Lieutenant General Chang Nacheng heard the continuous sound of fierce gunfire outside, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of heavy expressions.
There was no need for the front-line troops to report, just by hearing these fierce gunfires, Jana Castle would be able to know what was going on outside.
"Your Excellency the division commander, the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General sent a telegram from Yuan Shou Sande, about 10,000 troops outside the North City Gate are launching a fierce attack, and at the same time, in the city, thousands of troops appeared on their flanks and began to attack, at present, the first brigade of the 55th Wing has suffered heavy casualties, and it is impossible to resist at all, and the baggage wing has also paid a large number of casualties, and the former commander of the Sande Brigade has asked for tactical guidance."
"Your Excellency the division commander, Sang Mingzhao, the commander of the 35th Brigade Major General, sent a telegram, the East City Gate has been completely broken through by the Chinese troops, the 114th Wing launched a counterattack, but there is no effect, at present, the 114th Wing has chosen to retreat, but here in the East City Gate and the South City Gate, a large number of elite troops of the China have appeared, they are equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, the 35th Brigade may not be able to hold on for too long, Sang Mingzhao The second brigade commander hopes that we can immediately give up Huaxian."
When Jiuna Castle looked at the map with a heavy face, Takeda Shou, the chief of staff of Osa, came to his side and saluted and reported.
"The situation has reached such a point that so many troops have entered the city." After hearing Takeda Shou's report, Jiunacheng said in a solemn tone.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, we must evacuate now, otherwise our division is likely to be wiped out by the Chinese troops in Huaxian. At present, there has been no movement on the side of the West City Gate, and if we break through from here at this time, it is entirely possible to bring all the troops out. ”
Takeda Shou came to the map, he pointed to the west gate of Huaxian County, looked at Jiuna Castle and reported.
"Impossible, we break through now, and it is very likely that we will be annihilated faster." Hearing Takeda Shou's suggestion, Jiunajo said in a firm tone.
