Hao Mengxuan knew that if he wanted to capture Wukang City, the devil could give himself up to eight hours, and once it was dawn, the devil's plane would come, so that the troops who were still besieging the city would most likely suffer heavy casualties under the bombardment of the devil's plane. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a last resort, Hao Mengxuan naturally would not do this kind of loss-making business.

Therefore, as soon as he came up, he asked the 64th Regiment to attack the east with all his might, and at the same time transferred a company of the division's infantry artillery battalion to the east.

The 64th Regiment took the lead, so that Fukuda Shiro in Wukang City could not be sure for a while whether the East Gate was the main direction of the New Fourth Army, although the artillery fire at the East Gate looked very fierce.

Because according to previous experience, the place where the fight is extremely lively is not necessarily the opponent's main attack point, or maybe all this is to cover attacks from other directions.

Besides, the two squadrons outside the east gate had relatively complete fortifications, and they were more unsuitable for the New Fourth Army to launch an attack than the other three directions.

Therefore, when the 64th Regiment attacked, he hesitated again and again, and did not dare to transfer the 3rd Brigade that remained in reserve to the east gate.

Twenty minutes after the battle at the East Gate, gunshots rang out at the West Gate, which made Fukuda secretly glad that he had kept the reserves in his hands, because from all indications, the West Gate seemed to be the focus of the New Fourth Army's attack.

When he sent a squadron of reserves to reinforce the defenders outside the west gate, gunfire also rang out at the south and north gates, so that Futian could not determine the active direction of the New Fourth Army.

However, he thought that the defenders outside the east gate had two squadrons and more than two hundred puppet troops, and they should be able to hold out until dawn.

When he sent his reserves to the south and north gates, he received the news that the position at the east gate had been lost, and the New Fourth Army had been killed from the east to the city wall.

At this time, Futian came to his senses, but at this time, the outer positions on the east side of Wukang City were lost one after another, and he had to order the second brigade to defend the city wall of the east gate.

At the same time, a large number of puppet troops were sent to the city walls.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as Liu Tianshu came up, he mobilized three infantry regiments, and launched a fierce attack on the fortifications outside Wukang City, taking away the position outside the east gate in one fell swoop.

After the position outside the east gate was captured, the first battalion of the 64th Regiment rushed to the city and prepared for the siege, while the second and third battalions launched an attack in the north and south directions respectively.

The positions established by the Japanese army in the north and south directions outside Wukang City were attacked by the 64th and 66th regiments in the blink of an eye, and they were beaten very embarrassed for a while, and the devils on the city wall could only watch the troops outside the city fight with the New Fourth Army, but they could not go out of the city to reinforce.

If the black light is blind and the city gate is opened, and the New Fourth Army accidentally takes advantage of the loophole, it will be more than worth the loss.

When Fukuda learned that the positions outside the North, South, and West Gates had been fiercely attacked by the New Fourth Army, and that the artillery of the city wing, because the outside had been in a mess, they could not provide artillery support at all.

The position outside the east gate was the highest, and after the New Fourth Army occupied the position outside the east gate, it posed a serious threat to the Japanese troops in the north and south directions, and besides, the division commander ordered him to hold out until dawn and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Since he was just holding on and waiting for reinforcements, Fukuda felt that he still had to shrink his troops.

It's just that when he withdrew his troops from outside the city, the troops became a little chaotic, and with the pursuit of the New Fourth Army behind him, many of the troops who withdrew into the city were out of order.

Unknowingly, two companies of the division's reconnaissance brigade disguised themselves as devils or puppet soldiers and mixed into the city in batches.

When Hao Mengxuan and Tong Guijie learned that the devil had shrunk their forces, they immediately commanded three regiments to quickly pounce, and they arrived at the city in a blink of an eye.

However, when the troops reached the city, they did not stop the attack, but concentrated artillery fire and began to attack the city.

Last time, Hao Mengxuan ambushed the baggage troops of the Matsumoto Wing at Akita Dam and captured a batch of ammunition, so he naturally smashed it towards the head of the city.

The devils guarding the West Gate saw that the shells of the New Fourth Army kept flying, and they were worried that the New Fourth Army would launch a siege battle under the cover of the shells, so they had to keep shooting the flares into the sky.

It was the 71st Regiment that attacked the West Gate, and Hao Mengxuan knew that the men of the Division's reconnaissance brigade had already infiltrated the city, and according to the predetermined plan, the two companies that entered the city would take the 71st Regiment that cooperated with the attack on the West Gate.

In order to confuse the enemy, the 64th Regiment at the East Gate used infantry artillery to bombard the East Gate while the soldiers shouted and attacked.

Of course, under the cover of shells, these soldiers rushed to a distance of 300 meters from the city gate, and immediately lay on the ground and began to dig individual bunkers.

Although the ground in the south was wet, the 64th Regiment advanced very quickly, and in less than an hour, the heavy machine guns that arrived quickly set up outside the city and opened heavy fire on the city walls, firing at the Japanese troops guarding the city walls.

The infantry artillery that cooperated with the operation, after shifting positions several times, immediately bombarded the east gate, and three minutes later, two shells finally hit the city gate, making a big hole in the city gate.

When the devils defending the city saw that the city gate was broken, they were so shocked that they hurriedly sent troops to guard the city gate while reporting to the captain of the Futian Wing.

Futian was shocked when he learned that the East Gate Gate had been broken by shells, so he had to send a squadron to the East Gate, and at the same time two hundred puppet troops were transferred.

When the commander of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army was anxious for the defenders of Wukang, he suddenly received a call from the defenders of Yanguan Town, saying that the logistics supply base of Yanguan had been attacked by a large force of the New Fourth Army, and its peripheral positions had been lost, and he asked the division commander to send reinforcements.

When the commander of the 22nd Division heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, you must know that Yanguan Town was stacked with combat materials needed by the 142nd Division, the 144th Division, and his own 22nd Division.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent the troops he could send to reinforce Yanguan Town, and as for Wukang City, he naturally couldn't take care of it.

Less than half an hour after his troops were dispatched, the Japanese military airfield outside Hangzhou suddenly burst into gunfire.

"What? A New Fourth Army is attacking the airfield? The commander of the Three Cities Division couldn't help but be stunned, and sat on the chair in despair.

Although there were two squadrons of Japanese troops in charge of defending the military airfield, listening to the panicked voice of the airfield commander, he knew that the New Fourth Army attacking the airfield should not be a small force.

If the airport was lost, he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.

All of a sudden, the three cities sweated like rain.

But at this time, the troops he sent to reinforce Yanguan Town had left Hangzhou for half an hour, could it be that he wanted to withdraw this force?

You must know that the military airport is in the southwest of Hangzhou, while Yanguan Town is in the east of Hangzhou, so it can be said that the south is the north.

Mijo had to order the soldiers guarding the airport to resist desperately, and at the same time pulled out the two squadrons responsible for defending the divisional headquarters and rushed towards the airport.

At the same time, he reported the situation faced by the 22nd Division to Commander Taze.

Awakened by the battle in western Zhejiang, Duoze looked at the map with a calm face, and when he received the report from the commander of the Three Cities Division that the Japanese airfield might not be secured, he frowned and thought for a long time, and ordered the planes stationed at the Hangzhou airfield to take off immediately and transfer to the Nanjing military airfield.

After receiving the order to attack the airport, Gao Weiheng, commander of the 72nd Regiment, immediately summoned all the cadres above the battalion level and conducted a detailed study, and his reconnaissance company of the 72nd Regiment had quietly touched the airport, and the three battalions of the 72nd Regiment, one of which was deployed in the direction of the airport leading to Hangzhou, was ready to block the enemy who might be reinforced, and the other two battalions were arranged on the periphery of the airport.

Under the command of company commander Zhang Guangxin, the reconnaissance company evaded the gliss of the devil's searchlight, carefully made a big hole from the corner of the airport, and then drilled through this hole.

According to the prior arrangement, after entering the airfield, one platoon was responsible for destroying ammunition depots, one platoon was responsible for dealing with Japanese pilots, and the other platoon was responsible for blowing up the planes as much as possible.

Just as the platoon approaching the plane quietly approached the plane parked on the tarmac, the soldiers of the platoon close to the pilot's quarters were unfortunately discovered by the devils, and the battle began.

When the soldiers responsible for blowing up the plane heard the gunshots, under the command of the platoon commander, they took out their grenades, pulled out the safety, and threw them at the plane, some of them directly into the cockpit of the plane.

These grenades exploded the four planes into fireballs in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese troops in charge of guarding the airfield noticed that someone was approaching the planes, and the heavy machine gun and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets rained down, crushing the fighters who were about to blow up the rest of the planes.

And at this time, the soldiers who rushed into the ghost pilot's dormitory also shot desperately at the devil pilot.

After killing more than a dozen pilots, the devils in charge of defending the airport rushed like crazy, and a rain of bullets blocked the fighters of the reconnaissance company, and five fighters died on the spot.

The remaining devil pilots, under the desperate protection of the Japanese soldiers, quickly retreated.

The commander of the second platoon of the reconnaissance company saw that more than 10 pilots had been rescued by the devils, and his eyes immediately erupted with fire, but unfortunately the devils who came later were so numerous that his second platoon was so beaten that he could only retreat.

When the reconnaissance company started at the airport, the two battalions of the 72nd Regiment guarding outside the airport immediately launched an attack on the airport, and the firepower points arranged by the devils at the four corners of the airport were destroyed by the 72nd Regiment after five minutes of fierce fighting.

The devils guarding the airport found that the New Fourth Army was coming fiercely, and after receiving the order from the division commander, they immediately went all out to cover the remaining dozen or so pilots and retreated to the plane parked on the other side.

The thirteen devil pilots finally ran to the plane, quickly jumped on the plane, and flew into the sky desperately with the roar of the plane.

One of the devil pilots, probably seeing his companion die at the hands of the New Fourth Army, did not fly north quickly after he took off the plane, but circled for a while, and flew towards the airport where the battle was still raging.

Unexpectedly, before he could dive and shoot, he saw a string of bullets suddenly appear from one side, sweeping across his belly, and the plane shook suddenly, and he could no longer control it. (To be continued.) )
