"Fire!"

Da-da-da-da

With an order, the heavy machine guns hidden in the shadows suddenly fired, and the Japanese soldiers who groped their way to both sides of the alley were killed and wounded under the dense bullet strafing.

In the midst of a terrible howl, a large number of Japanese soldiers retreated with palpitations, and pounced on this small town countless times, but they also suffered countless defeats, and the water under their feet had completely turned into blood, exuding a pungent fishy smell. On the way to attack, the Japanese army has fallen too many soldiers, although they have the advantage at this time, but if they want to take the town of Xiongzhou, which the enemy is struggling to defend, bite down, even if they can bite the enemy, at least a few good teeth will be broken.

"Our casualties are too heavy to waste the lives of our soldiers." Inaba Shiro's face was extremely solemn and authentic, and the three or four attacks organized one after another did not advance an inch except for throwing the bones on the ground, and several times he entered the opponent's defense line, and was driven out by the other party, and at this time he directly engaged the Northwest Army, although he was in the enemy camp, but Inaba Shiro could also feel the vigorous fighting spirit permeated by the opponent's position in the rainy night. The Japanese did not like to fight in the rain, because not only did they have no air support, but their shooting accuracy was greatly reduced, which narrowed the gap between the two sides in terms of the quality of soldiers.

However, at this time, the Japanese army had to fight again, and if it could not get through the contact with Nagai Tokugawa in time, after the Mutian Wing was completely annihilated, another wing of the Japanese army was wiped out.

These damn Zhina army, after entering Baoding City, must kill all the Zhina people in Baoding. to vent the hatred in his heart! Gu Shoufu's face was pale. "Inform the heavy artillerymen. Leave half of the base ammunition and the rest gone! ”

Gu Shoufu clenched his fists and let the rain pour down on his face. In the area of Xiongzhou Town, his 6th Division lost too many men and horses, and only a few dozen of the nearly 400 people stationed in the previous garrison escaped, and in a fierce attack, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded, and the enemy counterattack in Xiongzhou Town was still extremely sharp. Once besieged Nagai Tokugawa was annihilated. His 6th Division was really broken. In normal times, Gu Shoufu would not have hit the cannonballs in his hand almost all at once, but what he lacked most now was time. He can play slower, but Nagai Tokugawa's side may not be able to hold on.

Nagai Tokugawa had sent several telegrams to him asking for help, and with the strength of the enemy's attack there, coupled with the strength of the defense of Xiongzhou Town, even if this battle could be rescued in the end, it would eventually suffer heavy losses, and now there were more than 1,000 dead and wounded in Xiongzhou Town in front of him. The enemy's positions remained immovable. If you want to completely take the town of Xiongzhou and annihilate the enemy in front of you, without the participation of planes and more heavy artillery. Gu Shoufu expects to sacrifice at least five to six brigades, and it may be more than that, after all, the Japanese army also needs a large amount of ammunition support, and at present, the ammunition originally accumulated in Xiongzhou Town has been occupied by the enemy army on the opposite side, with the current poor transportation conditions and weather, the Japanese army's ammunition supply is also extremely tight, on the contrary, the enemy army on the opposite side is now relatively abundant. Thinking of the possible losses in the future, Gu Shoufu felt that his teeth, which had been a little painful, began to ache faintly again. After this battle, it is estimated that the 6th Division will need to be regrouped for a period of time before it can be re-engaged on the battlefield.

Boom

The Japanese heavy artillery rumbled again, and huge columns of mud rose from the ground, tearing the sandbags that had been sturdy with rain, and fine pieces of mud were splashed everywhere. There were no permanent fortifications in Xiongzhou Town, and the heavy artillery shells of the Japanese army were almost indestructible.

"Onboard!" Before the artillery could stop, hundreds of Japanese troops scattered in the muddy water and swooped down on the defenders' positions again.

The heavy artillery shells plowed all the way through, and even the position could not find an intact place, not to mention the first part of the Hanlian Mountain Regiment that was originally guarding there, a team of more than 500 people, after the previous fight, there were less than 200 people with the wounded who could still move at this time.

"Division Commander Li, the heavy artillery of the Japanese army is too fierce, and several rounds of artillery have been fired, not to mention people, even a piece of iron is about to be blown up, and the positions in the northeast have been destroyed."

Dou Lianxi was about to scold his mother at this time, although he knew the truth of taking people short and eating people's mouths, but the price of taking the weapons of the Northwest Army was inevitably too great, his brigade was originally disabled in Tianjin, and on the way to Baiyangdian, he finally contained part of the defeated troops, and pulled some people to recover to more than 3,200 people, but the Japanese army that pulled to the opposite side of Xiongzhou Town seemed to have eaten gunpowder, all the way to the mountain field artillery, heavy field artillery rained down, and those Japanese soldiers used more than two squadrons of pig assault tactics. In less than a day, the people in his hands have lost a thousand, and if he continues like this, it is estimated that in a day or two, he will become a bare-bones commander. A few years ago in Chahar, when I fought with the Japanese army in Tianjin, I didn't see such a desperate one, why did I meet the Northwest Army in Xiongzhou Town and stage a dragon and tiger fight?

"Withdraw Han Lianxi's group first." Li Chunrun said in a hoarse voice, in the past two days, he has commanded the battle with high intensity, and he has been drenched in rain, Rao is body is strong, and he can't help but be infected with some wind chill and even a little fever. The medic had injected a sulfonamide injection before, and his slightly drowsy mind was a little more comfortable at this time.

"Withdraw, what should I do with that position, will it be given to the Japanese army?" Han Lianxi's expression was stunned, although the tragedy of this battle was really the only one he had seen in his life, but there were still thousands of Northwest Army in Xiongzhou Town, and the guns and ammunition in his hands were almost as much as they were supplied, Han Lianxi still had some bottom in his heart, and now he came to complain about the bitterness just because the crying child had milk to eat, and now he complained, after this battle, the Northwest Army would give more supplements, and it would be better if he could be promoted to the brigade commander to the division commander. But pouring bitter water to pouring bitter water, Dou Lianxi never thought of giving up his position to the Japanese, after all, if all the Japanese troops rushed in, they would all be finished.

"Hanlian Mountain has fought a little hard in these battles, withdraw for a little rest, artillery is not only available to the Japanese, although our artillery is still almost ready for artillery battles with the Japanese army, but the strength to deal with the Japanese infantry is still there. I have already arranged the artillery, and after the Japanese army has been shelled, let Yuan Daorong's regiment be connected tightly, and don't really let the Japanese rush in. (To be continued.) )
