Command of the 2nd Infantry Division.

Division commander Qian Long was also in front of the headquarters, holding a telescope to carefully watch the artillery regiment's shelling, Qian Long's location was less than three kilometers away from the little devil city wall, with the help of the telescope, the situation on the little devil's position in front of him could be seen very clearly.

The situation of the little devils on the city wall can also be seen roughly, a group of little devil officers are standing on the city wall with Nanjiro, and Qian Long also saw it early, although he can't see the specific rank of the little devil, but Qian Long can basically conclude that standing in the middle of the little devil officers, there is a little devil general.

Just now, a cannonball exploded next to these little devils, and that Qian Long paid attention to it for a long time, and the little devil general was very lucky, and was thrown off the city wall by the aftermath of the explosion, and still fell outside the city wall.

Qian Long had a hunch in his heart that the fallen little devil general might be a lieutenant general, that is, it might be the commander of a little devil's division.

Unable to hide the excitement in his heart, Qian Long immediately shouted happily: "Immediately send a company over to take a look and snatch back the body of the little devil general on the ground." ”

An infantry company of the 2nd Infantry Division, more than a hundred people, immediately ran to the place where Minamijiro fell, armed with AK-47 rifles and several 60 mortars on his back.

The soldiers of this infantry company, when they passed through the defensive positions of the little devils, basically did not encounter the little devils who resisted, but encountered several incapacitated little devils who were seriously wounded, but these little devils were seriously wounded by the soldiers.

When everyone, through the little devil's defensive position, came to the place where Minamijiro fell two or three hundred meters, the little devil on the city wall had already discovered the Chinese army under the city.

The little devil's several Type 92 heavy machine guns immediately began to suppress firepower, and the soldiers were pressed to the ground by the little devil's ferocious fire and could not raise their heads.

The commander of the second company, who led the team to carry out the mission, looked at several little devil machine guns on the city wall, and then looked at a little devil trench dozens of meters behind him, and immediately ordered: "All mortars retreat to the trenches, set up mortars in the trenches, and knock out the little devil machine guns on the city wall." ”

Mortars belong to curved guns, the slapper is erected in a trench more than one meter deep, which can well protect the artillery that fires the artillery, the machine gun of the little devil can not hit the mortar, but the mortar can indeed hit the little devil machine gun point on the city wall.

More than a dozen or twenty fighters immediately rushed to the trenches behind them with a few mortars, and quickly assembled and erected mortars.

The soldiers here have almost arrived at the city, and the little devils over there are not slow, and the little devils also want to snatch back Minamijiro's body, but the artillery fire of the [***] team is too fierce, and the little devils are worried that the [***] team will attack the city, and after closing the city gate, a large number of sandbags are piled up behind the city gate, and the city gate hole is blocked tightly.

When the little devil finally moved the sandbag and was about to open the city gate and send people out of the city to transport Minamijiro's body back to the city, a company of more than 100 people from the middle [***] team was already approaching the city wall, if it wasn't for the machine gun suppression of the little devil on the city wall, maybe Minamijiro's body had been transported away by the team led by the second company commander.

The commander of the second company, who was lying on the ground, saw that the city gate not far away seemed to be slowly opening, and several little devils were preparing to leave the city, so he immediately shouted: "Suppress the city gate by fire, and the little devils may send troops out of the city." ”

As soon as the words of the second company commander fell, several AK-47 rifles were immediately pointed at the city gate, and after a rapid burst of gunfire, the little devils who had just left the city were immediately knocked to the ground by the dense bullets.

Maybe these little devils received a death order, the first few little devils were knocked over, and ten more little devils rushed out one by one, but these little devils, without exception, were all put down at the city gate.

When the chief of staff of the little devil who remained on the city wall and did not withdraw saw this scene, he immediately burst into fear and shouted sharply: "Hurry, hurry, at all costs, we must recapture the body of Your Excellency the division commander." ”

The artillery regiment's shelling never stopped, and one shell after another hit the city wall, sending out a violent explosion, and several parts of the city wall were blown down, looking crumbling and threatening to collapse at any time. Some shells also hit the inner and outer sides of the city wall due to errors, and some of the shells that fell outside the city were sometimes less than 100 meters away from where the soldiers of the second company were lying on their stomachs.

The commander of the second company saw that the situation was very critical, and the body of the little devil general on the ground could be hit or shattered by shells at any time, so the commander of the second company immediately sent an infantry squad with more than a dozen soldiers crawling towards Minamijiro's body.

At this time, several mortars of the second company were also set up, firing shells at the city wall not far away, several machine gun points of the little devil were knocked out, and there happened to be a 105 mm howitzer exploding next to a little devil Type 92 heavy machine gun, and this Type 92 heavy machine gun immediately fell silent.

The firepower of the little devils on the city wall suddenly weakened a lot, and the soldiers lying on the ground saw this, and immediately fired back at the little devils on the city wall, and the little devils on the city wall were killed one after another, and some of the little devils screamed and fell off the city wall.

The dozen or so fighters who were crawling on the ground, seeing that the little devils on the city wall were completely suppressed by the fire, immediately stood up, bent over, and trotted all the way, and soon came to Nanjiro's corpse, and the soldiers didn't have time to take a closer look, dragging Nanjiro's body and immediately running back.

The chief of staff of the little devil on the city wall saw the body of the commander of his division, and was finally snatched away by the soldiers of the [***] team, so angry that he almost vomited blood, his eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, several little devils next to him quickly supported the chief of staff of the little devil and put the chief of staff of the little devil off the city wall.

The charge of the little devils continued, rushing out of the city gate one after another, but the fire of more than a dozen AK-47 rifles at the city gate was not covered, and the little devils were often hit and fell to the ground before they could rush out of the city gate a few steps, and in just a few minutes, at least one squad of little devils fell near the city gate.

Dazuo, a little devil on the city wall, saw that the [***] team was dragging the corpse of his division commander and running farther and farther, and immediately ordered to stop the little devil's almost suicidal action.

When the commander of the second company saw that he had successfully recaptured the body of the little devil general, he also accepted it as soon as he saw it, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat, and in less than five minutes, hundreds of soldiers of the second company withdrew from the range of fire of the little devil.

The soldiers of the second company did not withdraw for long, this city wall, under the fierce artillery bombardment, finally collapsed, there was a gap dozens of meters long, and only ran out of a few hundred meters of the second company commander, heard a loud noise behind him, quickly turned his head to look, and saw that a section of the city wall dozens of meters long had collapsed.

Seeing this scene, the second company commander was secretly happy, and thought in his heart, fortunately, it was still more timely, otherwise the body of the little devil general would have to be found under the ruins.

Qian Long, who was in the distance, saw that the soldiers of the second company had successfully recaptured the body of the little devil general, and applauded happily, and without waiting for the soldiers of the second company to approach the headquarters, he quickly greeted him.

When Qian Long saw the corpse of the little devil general recaptured by the soldiers of the second company, he was still secretly taken aback in his heart, it was actually the corpse of a little devil lieutenant general, Qian Long leaned down, rummaged through the pocket of the little devil general, took out a small certificate, and opened it.

Although Qian Long didn't understand Yuewen, but after mixing with Zhang Yunfei for a long time, he still understood something, Qian Long looked at the documents, and immediately became excited, it was actually Nanjiro, the commander of the 30th Division of the little devil.

The soldiers surrounding him saw the excitement on their division commander's face, and the second company commander also asked happily: "Chief, who is this little devil general?" ”

Qian Long looked around at the soldiers with happy faces around him, and said happily: "This is Nanjiro, the commander of the 30th Division of the Little Devil Lieutenant General." ”

Seeing that it was the commander of the little devil's division, the surrounding soldiers gasped one after another, and thought to themselves, my good boy is actually the commander of the division of the little devil lieutenant general, and a little devil lieutenant general was killed by our artillery in this way.

Qian Long happily looked at the surprised soldiers next to him, and then said loudly: "Correspondent, immediately send a report to the commander-in-chief to report the results of this battle." ”

At this time, the little devils were full of sorrow and low morale, their divisions were killed, and under their noses, even the corpses were snatched away by the [***] team, and many little devils were filled with disappointment, sadness and other emotions.

The news that Minamijiro was killed by the cannon of the [***] team and that his body was snatched away by the [***] team spread throughout Zhangjiakou not long after, and even the little devils of the 10th Division stationed in Zhangjiakou also knew.

Hearing the news that Minamijiro was killed, Shikawa Ichiro, the new commander of the 10th Division of the Little Devil, also frowned, and his face was solemn, but he didn't expect that it would be less than 24 hours before the [***] team attacked Zhangjiakou, and Nanjiro was killed.

Togawa Ichiro now knew that Minamijiro had been killed, and the morale of the troops was definitely low now, and the walls of Zhangjiakou had collapsed in many places under the heavy artillery fire of the [***] team. Although his 10th Regiment is a division regiment on the number, Tokawa Ichiro knows better than anyone what the combat effectiveness is.

Ichiro Shikawa, who was worried that he would not be able to defend Zhangjiakou, said worriedly to the chief of staff next to him: "Araki-kun, how long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive." ”

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the Songjiang Wing of the 4th Division of the vanguard of our reinforcements has already set off by train, and now it has passed Beiping, and it will take about two hours to reach Zhangjiakou, and the large troops of the 4th Division will be reinforced."

Seeing that the reinforcements would soon reach Zhangjiakou, and that it was still the 4th Division, which was known for its strong combat effectiveness, Shikawa Ichiro was very determined.
