Chapter 546: Entering the City
The heavy artillery brigade's fierce shelling continued, and a large number of shells focused on hitting the city wall two or three thousand meters north of Tengxian County, and the shelling density was very high.
On this section of the city wall, there is an infantry brigade of little devils stationed there, and now, under such a fierce shelling, the little devils have suffered heavy casualties, and many little devils have been directly blown into pieces, and the stumps and broken arms have flown out with the air wave of the explosion, and there are a lot scattered on both sides of the city wall.
The same is true of the weapons of the little devils, many machine guns erected on the city wall were seriously deformed by the explosion, and with the air waves, they flew down the city wall and scattered on the ground.
……
In the city, the cannon sound of Chapter 544 of the little devil has been constantly reaching the ears of a group of senior officers of the little devil, and hearing such a dense and huge cannon sound, the little devils' faces are miserable.
Many of these little devil officers are quite experienced, and when they heard such a loud explosion, they knew in their hearts that it must be 155 mm caliber heavy artillery, and the number of these heavy guns, at least sixty or seventy, is obviously a heavy artillery group.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Chapter 544 Outside, the heavy artillery of the regimental army is too powerful, and it is not a way for us to defend the city like this. ”
The chief of staff of the little devils is obviously very distressed by these little devils who are guarding the city.
Taro Takahashi, the commander of the Little Devil Division, shook his head, "Chief of Staff, you listen to this cannon sound, although it is fierce, it is coming from one direction, obviously, the 544th chapter regimental army is concentrating artillery fire and bombarding a certain section of the city wall in the north of the city, and our casualties are not as big as imagined." ”
The commander of the Little Devil Division, as an old devil with the rank of lieutenant general. In the end, he was still more experienced, and he roughly inferred the situation and direction of the shelling outside through the sound of artillery.
Hearing this, the chief of staff of the little devil felt a little better in his heart, and thought in his heart, if the Chapter 544 regimental army was really concentrating artillery fire and bombarding a certain section of the city wall in the north of the city, the casualties should only be a few hundred. At most, there were thousands of casualties, much smaller than previously thought.
Thinking of this, the chief of staff of the little devil suddenly thought of something. Immediately said eagerly: "Your Excellency the division commander! Chapter 544 The regimental army concentrated artillery fire on the city, then their purpose was obvious, that is, to collapse this section of the city wall. that they may enter the city with their large army. ”
The commander of the Little Devil Division also thought about this, and immediately said: "The rest of the troops outside the city have all entered the city, and the 2nd Infantry Wing will immediately move to the north of the city to block the entry of the large army of the 544th Regiment Army." ”
The battle came to this point, and in Chapter 544, the troops broke through from the north of the city into the city of Tengxian and eliminated all the little devils.
Therefore, if the little devil still sends troops to stick to the outside of Tengxian County. The positions in the remaining directions are completely unnecessary, and they will disperse the forces of the little devils.
Takahashi Taro, the commander of the Little Devil Division, is not a fool, so he naturally knows that the troops in Chapter 544 defend the north of the city.
Although the 6th Column did not encircle Tengxian on all sides, the commander Chu Tianming was not worried at all about the little devils escaping from other directions, and the 6th Column had two mechanized infantry regiments and two tank regiments. Will the imps be able to outrun off-road vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks?
In addition, the cavalry regiment of the 6th column has been wandering around the south of Tengxian County, and if the little devil wants to abandon the city and flee south, he will definitely be intercepted by the cavalry regiment.
The order of Taro Takahashi, the commander of the little devil division, immediately reached the infantry of the little devils outside the city, and thousands of little devils outside the city immediately entered the city, and the 2nd Infantry Wing of the little devils immediately moved to the north of Fuji County.
However, the shelling outside has been going on for nearly ten minutes, and the 2nd Infantry Wing of the little devils knows if they can get to the north of the city in time to block the 6th column from entering the city.
……
Over time, the shelling has been going on for more than twenty minutes.
Under such a fierce artillery bombardment, this section of the city wall has become dilapidated, and in many places, one by one, large holes, huge cracks have appeared, which seem to be crumbling and may collapse at any time. …,
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A large number of shells kept smashing on the city wall, blowing up bricks and mud, and even cement blocks, and there were no living little devils on this section of the city wall for two or three kilometers.
An infantry brigade on this section of the city wall has long been wiped out, and in just ten minutes, the little devils were all killed, and the rest of the little devils on the city wall also saw the situation here.
Seeing the situation here, these little devils stationed on the rest of the city wall looked frightened, worried that these fierce artillery fire would extend to their side.
on the positions outside the city.
Many soldiers are ready to enter the city, and many tanks and armored vehicles have also driven to a position only a few hundred meters outside the city, as long as the city wall collapses and the cannons stop, they can enter the city.
"Look! It's going to collapse! ”
Several warriors, pointing to a section of the city wall, shouted happily, and the shouts of the warriors immediately attracted the attention of a large number of warriors next to them, and everyone looked there.
A section of the city wall that was at least two or three hundred meters long, under such a fierce shelling, could no longer hold on, and collapsed with a bang, raising up dust in the sky, and the flying dust flew two or three hundred meters away, which was very spectacular.
"Good! That's great! ”
Many soldiers saw such a long section of the city wall collapse with their own eyes, and they immediately applauded with joy.
The heavy shelling did not stop when this section of the city wall was bombarded, and now there were at least a few minutes left before the half-hour shelling time, and the artillery fire in the sky was still covering that section of the city wall.
Not long after, another section of the city wall more than 100 meters long collapsed, and the city wall in the north of the city suddenly appeared two huge gaps, which were enough for the soldiers to enter the city.
However, the trend of the city wall collapsing has not stopped, and sections of the city wall have collapsed one after another, and the collapsed city walls have formed sections of ruins.
A large number of shells, hitting these ruins, will be these messy cement blocks, bricks and even stones, etc., further flattened, the originally collapsed city walls, piled up ruins, also four or five meters high, under the repeated bombardment of artillery fire, these ruins were almost blown flat, even off-road vehicles, can cross these ruins, not to mention tanks and armored vehicles with strong cross-country ability.
Headquarters of the 6th Column.
"Chief! The forward observation post sent a message that the city wall in the north of Tengxian County had collapsed in a large area. ”
A correspondent soldier of the command, reported exciting news.
"Good! Great, now, the troops can enter the city smoothly. ”
Although the collapse of the city wall was within the plan, when he heard such good news, Chu Tianming was still relieved and applauded with joy.
After being happy for a while, Chu Tianming looked at his watch, and in two or three minutes, it would be half past two, and the sound of the artillery was about to stop, and the troops were about to enter the city, and Chu Tianming was also looking forward to it in his heart.
Half past two in the afternoon.
The shelling in the sky came to an abrupt end.
As soon as the cannon stopped, there was a sudden silence all around, the world has never been so quiet, and many frightened little devils on the city wall were still inexplicable and a little uncomfortable.
However, this silence did not last long, and immediately, the little devils heard the shouts from the sky.
"Comrades! Come on!!!! ”
Thousands of warriors let out an earth-shattering cry, and everyone took their weapons, followed behind a large number of chariots, and rushed towards the city wall.
The charging troops, led by a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and off-road vehicles, rushed towards those several gaps, and with the collapse of the city walls, the strong city walls of Teng County were no longer defended for the soldiers.
Inside the city, the little devil headquarters.
The earth-shattering cannon sound outside suddenly stopped, and the head of the little devil division felt a tightness in his heart, Takahashi Taro knew that the 544th chapter regimental army was going to enter the city next. …,
The commander of the little devil division looked at his watch, the artillery bombardment time of the regimental army in Chapter 544 was just half an hour, and the city wall reinforced by himself with a large amount of cement did not hold out for half an hour under the bombardment of the heavy artillery group of the regimental army in Chapter 544.
Thinking of this, Takahashi Taro felt miserable in his heart, and he had a serious lack of confidence in the next battle.
"Chief of Staff! Quickly send a report to His Excellency Commander Nishio Shouzo, Chapter 544 A large number of troops of the regimental army have begun to enter the city, and ask for tactical guidance again. ”
"Hey! Your Excellency Division Commander. ”
The chief of staff of the little devil, who also had a bad face, stepped on his command knife and hurried away, sending a telegram to the commander of the North China Front, Nishio Shouzo, asking for tactical guidance.
This time, the little devil's luck was very good, not long after the telegram was sent, Nishio Shouzaku called back, and the efficiency was so high that the little devil felt very surprised.
The content of the telegram made the little devils even more ecstatic.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, good news, His Excellency Commander Nishio Shouzo called back and ordered us to abandon Tengxian, retreat to Zaozhuang, and join the 31st Division stationed in Zaozhuang."
The chief of staff of the little devil, with a telegram in his hand, ran in briskly, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to shout loudly.
Hearing this, the head of the little devil division was also light, and his face was a little better, the fierce battle with the regimental army in Chapter 544 just now was simply a nightmare, and the regimental army in Chapter 544 was too strong, and it was not something that he could compete with as a division of B at all.
The two sides had been fighting fiercely since the morning, and now at half past two in the afternoon, their own troops had lost a wing of field troops and an infantry brigade, a total of four or five thousand men, which was also terrible.
Thinking of this, Taro Takahashi, the commander of the Little Devil Division, immediately began to convey the retreat order: "Order! The 2nd Wing blocked the attack, and the rest of the troops immediately retreated to Zaozhuang. ”
After saying that, Taro Takahashi hurriedly walked out, climbed into an armored car, and shouted anxiously: "Get out of the way!" Open! Hurry up and drop! ”
