Chapter 546: The Battle of North Manchurian (9)
When Wang Nan led the cavalry to solve the Japanese squad on the periphery of the Japanese position, the artillery inside was still firing at the north gate, and the roar of the entire position had covered the sound of fighting outside, when the cavalry rushed in, this group of people was still cleaning up the barrels, loading ammunition, and firing artillery, in Wang Nan's eyes, this group of busy little devils was a typical live target, and the cavalry was trained with scarecrows during training.
"Kill" Wang Nan rode a war horse and rushed towards the devil soldiers who were firing the artillery, and at the same time kept shouting in his mouth, constantly waving the saber in his hand at the devil artillery with a focused expression. Anyway, once the sword flashed in front of his eyes, then the head of a little devil must have been cut off by himself, and after a while, the devil's cannon stopped shelling.
At this time, Wang Nan and the soldiers behind him were completely red-eyed, and even he didn't know how many little devils' heads had been cut off. Anyway, a bloody saber is impenetrable in his hands, as long as the little devils they encounter are all corpses. In the end, where Wang Nan killed, there was no longer a living devil soldier.
Facing the cavalry swarming from all directions, facing the sword formations that glowed with cold light that were rapidly approaching him. The awakened remnants of the devil artillery on the position were completely panicked, and they all showed frightened looks. You must know that the several hundred artillery personnel of the artillery brigade have always been pampered and treated well in peacetime, and they are also superior to others in the troops. These people are basically an expert in artillery, and fighting with people is only a third-class cripple, only a few officers are equipped with some pistols, and the rest are empty-handed, in the past, their artillery wing has a brigade of infantry protection, but now there is only a small team, and all the jade is broken, and the entire artillery position is still alive Japanese artillery only less than 100 people, after a cavalry charge, completely fell in a pool of blood
And at this moment, the Devil Command in the center of Qiqihar is now a mess. As the supreme commander of the headquarters, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake, was standing in the brightly lit headquarters at this time and was furious. Because I got up in a hurry, I didn't even have time to put on my military uniform.
"Bageyalu, are you guys all eating dry food, where did so many Zhina troops come from, and there are hundreds of cannons, but you intelligence officers have not found anything. Baga, you all have to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor" The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, slapped Miki Shaosa in the intelligence section in front of him.
"Hi Hi" The head of the intelligence section endured the hot pain on his face, although his face was full of grievances. But when he saw the division commander with an angry face on his face, he still couldn't stop nodding.
"General Staff, why did so many troops pop up outside, didn't it mean that the Anti-Japanese Federation only had less than 50,000 people? And there are no heavy weapons, and now such an offensive must have at least 30,000 men. "Maybe it's my own hand. Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake finally stopped and asked loudly to the staff officers who were hurrying back and forth in the conference room.
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division, we have already made a clear investigation. The Zhina troops outside the city are exactly the opponent you expect Meng Qingshan, and now the battle on the city wall is very fierce, the artillery bombardment of the Zhina people is very fierce, the artillery of at least one artillery brigade launched the shelling, and the soldiers of the other three have already sent troops to reinforce the defenders on the north gate city wall. Seeing Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake with an angry face on his face, the chief of staff replied in a low voice.
"Where did Meng Qingshan, the Eight Geya Road, conjure up so many people? Aren't their main forces ambushing the 10th Infantry Brigade? How can there be so many people. The communications staff officer immediately sent a telegram to Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, commander of the 22nd Infantry Brigade, and Yunaka Tanabe, commander of the 11th Cavalry Wing, and asked them to return to help as soon as possible. In addition, give an operational order to the artillery wing in the west of the city, and let them open fire with all their might, counterattack the artillery fire of the Shina at the north gate, and suppress the artillery fire of the Shina people.
After giving all the orders, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sowu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the stool behind him, and did not say a word, what happened now was far more than he predicted, and the current situation was not how to contain the enemy, but to ensure that Qiqihar was not attacked by the Zhina. However, he didn't know that the news that shocked him even more had not yet arrived.
"Your Excellency the commander of the division, we can't contact the artillery wing in the west of the city, there seems to be something wrong with the artillery wing, and it is possible that the telephone line was blown up by the artillery fire in China." The communications staff officer had no choice but to put down the phone and tell the division commander who was lying on a stool with his eyes closed.
"Nani Baga can't get through the phone, use the radio, quick, use the radio to call the artillery wing to counterattack immediately, order them to continue firing, why did the artillery stop." The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake, opened his eyes and roared loudly at the communications staff officer in front of him.
"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander" The communications staff officer quickly left the powder keg that could explode at any time.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the radio cannot contact the artillery wing, our radio is functioning normally, but the artillery wing cannot be contacted." Just as Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake had just closed his eyes, another communications staff officer came to report.
"Nani! If I can't get in touch, I'll send someone to run for me immediately. Lieutenant General Yamamuro scolded angrily.
"Hello!"
After the initial shelling of the North Gate, in less than two hours of the battle, the North Gate had already killed more than 1,500 brave soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, and it was fortunate that the artillery wing of the side had suppressed the artillery fire outside the city, otherwise the number of casualties would have been even greater.
"Nani? And what about our artillery wings? Why not open fire to suppress the artillery fire of the Chinese people. So many heroic Imperial soldiers, all of whom died under enemy fire, why did they stop after only two waves, and when the war is over, I must go to the military court to complain to the chief of staff of the artillery wing, check how many people we have left, and pay attention to guarding against enemy shelling outside the city, quickly" Yamauchi Akiosa, the commander of the 11th wing, ordered to the chief of staff beside him.
"Woo woo woo" Before the words of Wing Commander Yamauchi Akiosa were finished, a whistling sound of cannonballs reached his ears, fulfilling his order just now.
"Baga is coming, the shelling of the people of Hidechina has begun," Yamauchi Akira heard the familiar whistling of the cannonballs, quickly stood up, and shouted loudly. However, after the first few shellings, the little devil is obviously very good at dodging the shelling. After hearing the whistling sound of the shells, he immediately lay on the ground, or put the corpses of the dead soldiers next to him on his body, in short, the artillery fire at this time was no longer much lethal to these Japanese soldiers.
But the dense explosion is still ringing in the ears, the wing captain Yamauchi Sho Dazuo from time to time ventures to show his head to see if the people outside the city have attacked, but after seeing several times the people outside the city have no offensive posture, which makes the wing captain Yamauchi Sho Dazuo rushed a little confused, is this group of people just nouveau riche, just know the shelling, but do not know to take advantage of the cover of artillery fire to attack, if he is the commander outside the city, this time he would have entered the city early, and he couldn't hear the sound of shelling, the corner of Yamauchi Sho Dazuo showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, now that the Bichina people have no shells, this time they can only rely on their flesh and blood to attack, and when the time comes, they must be allowed to see the power of the empire.
Akira Yamauchi, who was dreaming, a crisp gunshot rang out from behind, he turned around and found that a group of people wearing the same clothes as himself appeared behind him, holding firearms and a cold weapon produced by the empire in their hands, and there was a burst of screams around him, he looked back and saw that the soldiers who had just taken refuge fell down one after another, falling from the high city wall. Hundreds of soldiers were not spared after two rounds of arrow raindown! This made him very angry, and the heavy artillery fire outside the city did not take their lives, but they were killed by the enemy who suddenly appeared behind them.
"Baga! Enemies have come in the city. Fight back, fight back for me. As soon as the voice fell, hundreds of iron bumps flew above his head, which exploded among the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who accurately landed on the city wall, followed by dozens more, and the Japanese troops on the north gate city wall were all shrouded in mortar shrapnel within the killing range of six consecutive rounds of intensive bombardment, and a brigade was basically disabled in just one minute.
The supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamada Otozo, clearly understood that once Qiqihar was lost, the Japanese defense line arranged in the north would be divided into two halves, and the initiative of the entire battlefield would be lost! More importantly, the occupation of Qiqihar is equivalent to cutting off the supply of Zhalantun and Hailar, once the Soviets and the Anti-Japanese Federation should be united, then everything will be over, for this reason, General Yamada Oto-san issued a death order to the troops, ordering the nearby troops to rescue Qiqihar, and at the same time ordered the Fourth Division in Jiamusi to immediately launch a battle to cross the river, in order to contain the energy of the Anti-United Nations, and at the same time win opportunities for Qiqihar.
In just one night, the special combat team members wiped out several times the Japanese army with less than 400 people, and assisted the main force to pull out the nails established by the Japanese army outside the north gate, and opened the west gate to meet the cavalry troops, and launched a fierce attack on the north gate at the first time. Forced the enemy defenders to make a troop allocation to reinforce the north gate, making the other doors weak, coupled with the heroic fighting of the special combat personnel, breaking through the east gate, allowing the cavalry to solve the Japanese artillery wing as soon as possible, so that the defense system carefully arranged by the commander of the 11th Division, Yamamuro Munetake, collapsed.
The east gate was broken through first, followed by the north gate, and then the south gate was broken through with a loud bang, and the south gate was also broken through, the enemy defenders panicked, and hurriedly abandoned the city wall, shrinking the defense, and the siege troops rushed into the city from both sides shouting.
