Chapter 437: Xiongzhou Town
"Quick, quick!" At this time, the Japanese army in Xiongzhou Town was busy in a group, facing the enemy army with more than ten times the number of them outside, but the total number of Japanese troops in Xiongzhou Town at this time was only three or four hundred, and if there was a brigade, the situation would change a lot, but three or four hundred people, not only was the absolute backwardness in terms of troops, but the difference between the weapons and equipment of this unit and the division-level team of the Northwest Army was also extremely different.
"Fire!"
The sound of rolling like thunder, the cannonballs whistling and smashing into the not very tall city wall of Xiongzhou Town, Xiongzhou Town is actually the county seat of Xiongxian County, but the city wall here is in disrepair for a long time, some dilapidated, before Sun Dianying's remnants of the army that was scattered retreated here, and was driven out by the Japanese army. However, after several battles of the 41st Army, there were quite a number of wounded, and not long after withdrawing from Xiongzhou Town, they still sent people to Xiongzhou Town to buy medicine, at this time Chen Guangzong happened to carry medicinal materials from the city gate with a few people separated by two alleys, and they were thinking about how to send medicinal materials out of the city, after all, there are so many medicinal materials, the eyes of the Japanese are not blind. It's just that when Chen Guangzong and the others were pondering, the thunderous sound had already sounded at the city gate.
"HIS GRANDMOTHER'S, THESE TWO CANNONS ARE VERY STRONG, AT LEAST 75MM MOUNTAIN CANNONS CAN SHOOT THE MOVEMENT." Broken tiles flew through the alley, and Xu Guangzong and several of his subordinates shrank their necks, and their throats were a little dry.
"Where is this troops, who dare to go to Xiongzhou Town to find the bad luck of the Japanese army? Could it be that the military seat has come back with a large army? Miao Youfu said with a suspicious expression.
This was followed by the sound of muffled thunder rolling. Dozens of shells were fired in succession, several houses were blown up one after another, tiles broke bricks, and wood chips flew everywhere.
"Where is our big army, his grandmother's, even if he smashes the military headquarters and divisions together, he can't make this move. In addition to mountain artillery, there are also field artillery, at least two dozen of which can have this movement. Our 41st Army is tied together and there are not so many cannons, either the Northeast Army or the Northwest Army is coming, look at this momentum, eighty percent is the Northwest Army! Xu Guangzong spat and Xingzi said. There are not many Japanese troops in this Xiongzhou Town, looking at this posture, eighty percent can't stand it, brothers, hurry up and find a place to hide, wait for the Northwest Army to come in and then go out, don't kill this artillery, then it's really wronged. ”
"Okay, let's go. It was not easy to survive the pursuit of the Japanese army. It would be hellish if he died under the artillery of the Northwest Army. Several people nodded hurriedly, "This little devil, seeing that they are still rampant, drove us to Baiyangdian to feed the mosquitoes for a few days, and now someone has finally cleaned them up." ”
Compared with the 29th Army, which encircled and annihilated a wing of the Japanese army, the Northwest Army also inflicted a lot of casualties on the Japanese army in the area from Langfang to Beiping, and the 41st Army was in a suppressed position several times with the Japanese army. However, the 41st Army also fought a hard battle with the Japanese army in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, although the casualties were larger. It also survived. However, with so many dead and wounded, the soldiers below were all afraid of the Japanese army and hated it at the same time. Now that I see that the Japanese army has also suffered retribution, I naturally have a sense of happiness in my heart.
Tom tom
The basic heavy firepower of the Japanese army was allocated to the brigade level, and at this time, the hundreds of Japanese troops stationed in Xiongzhou Town lacked not only troops, but were suppressed by Li Chunrun's 16th Division in all directions. It took only an extreme amount of time for the 16th Division to destroy the main firepower of the Japanese army, and with the threat removed, the artillery almost leveled the artillery at the small wall in front of them. And the mortars are also closing in closer. Occasionally, Japanese grenadiers brought considerable casualties to the attacking Northwest Army. But soon, the fire of the Japanese counterattack would soon be overwhelmed by several shells. The entire city was plunged into a sea of fire, and Xiongzhou Town was full of panicked and fleeing people. A hint of coldness flashed in Li Chunrun's eyes, the matter has come to this, if he does not make a decision, he will attack the city immediately. When the main force of the Japanese army reacts, his division may face the counter-outflanking of the Japanese army. It was inevitable that more cities would fall under the Japanese army. Wars are always bloody, especially on one's own territory. Although most of the history books mention such wars, the blood shed by these people in the war is only ignored, not non-existent.
"Stop shelling, attack!" After destroying the Japanese defenses on the city walls, the city gate at this time had already collapsed a large section, and if there were a few more rounds of shelling, the casualties of the 16th Division could be minimized. In the end, Li Chunrun still couldn't be completely cold-blooded, and he hadn't reached the point where he would win at all costs.
Da-da-da-da
The Japanese army swung up machine guns from the ruins that were already in ruins, and the Northwest Army was swept away in front of them. The soldiers who were in an offensive formation behind them also lay on the ground at this time, unable to move.
"Boom!" Soon, however, the Japanese heavy machine gun became a piece of air scattered in the explosion, and beyond the range of the heavy machine gun, the anti-aircraft gun was also a heavy machine gun killer. In Shanghai, there was a natural reason why some soldiers of the German Armament Division of the Japanese Army did not even dare to enter the heavy machine gun position due to the fact that the Japanese army's anti-aircraft artillery had beaten them. At this time, the roles were just reversed.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BATTLE DEFENSE ARTILLERY, IT WAS A ROUND OF MORTARS, COMPARED WITH THE MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, FIELD ARTILLERY, MORTAR, THE LANDING POINT OF THE CURVED ARTILLERY IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO BE ACCURATE, BUT IT CAN STILL BE ROUGHLY CONTROLLED IN A CERTAIN AREA AT SUCH A CLOSE DISTANCE, MORE THAN A DOZEN MORTARS CROSSED AND FELL, AND THESE STUBBORN JAPANESE TROOPS WERE CLEANED UP AGAIN, SO THAT WHEN THE SOLDIERS OF THE NORTHWEST ARMY POURED IN, THE RESISTANCE ENCOUNTERED WAS VERY WEAK.
"I can't stop it, there are too many Chinese troops, retreat!" At this time, the captain of the Shenqian Otani cavalry squadron hurriedly withdrew from the most fierce combat zone with dozens of subordinates, and the area at the head of the city was almost not a place for people to stay, after the baptism of a few steel storms, it was difficult to find a living person, in the past, only they used aircraft and artillery to fight the army, but now they were treated almost equally, and these Japanese soldiers also felt a little afraid in their hearts. One of his cavalry squadrons assisted in the defense of Xiongzhou Town, and before he could make any substantial contact with the other side, he lost most of it. If you don't withdraw in advance, wait until the enemy enters the city, and then it's too late to leave.
Dozens of fast horses fled in panic all the way from the north gate.
"Quick, go destroy the weapons and ammunition in the armory!" The infantry squadron leader Caotz Osaka was covered in blood at this time, and when he was completely powerless to resist, he suddenly remembered that there was still a large amount of ordnance stored in the arsenal, and he had no authority to order the destruction with his position before, but at this critical juncture, he couldn't care so much about it. Seeing that his death is imminent, even if he wants to be investigated, he can't be held accountable. (To be continued.) )
