Chapter 123: Fierce Battle for City Defense
Under the command of Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao, hundreds of dragon tooth soldiers of the two battalions suppressed the Japanese troops on the city with light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and then several demomen with explosives bags took the opportunity to rush under the city gate.
However, when they detonated it, they found that the city gate had been blocked by devils with various ruins inside, and even if they blew up the city gate, they could not break through the city gate.
"Haidong, what can I do now?" Ma Biao said with a frown.
Jiang Haidong groaned: "The little devil wants to hold on and wait for help, we don't have siege equipment, and if we want to break through the east gate, we have to break through from the rear of the devil in the city, so let's immediately report the situation to the Dragon King and see how the Dragon King arranges." ”
"Okay." Ma Biao nodded, and immediately sent a soldier around the city to inform Qiao Youhua.
In Yizheng County, Qiao Youhua had already captured the crossroads and eliminated one-third of the main force of the Japanese army under the condition of absolute superiority in troops, but the remaining hundreds of devil soldiers relied on the residential shops and other buildings in the eastern area of the city to resist stubbornly.
A fierce and bloody battle was waged with the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which was struggling and making very slow progress.
Although the current Dragon Tooth Task Force has one or two times more strength than ever before, its composition is very mixed, including the Sichuan Army, the Water Bandits, and the Central Army.
The coordination and cooperation between various units requires the tempering of actual combat and the run-in of time, and this fierce street battle is also a baptism battle with the survival of the fittest.
As long as this battle is won, the surviving officers and soldiers will grow and transform into qualified dragon tooth warriors.
Qiao Youhua was calmly directing the attack, and a soldier hurriedly found him with a rifle on his back and truthfully reported what happened in the east of the city.
After Qiao Youhua listened, he frowned and said: "This group of little devils who are trapped in the city by us want to come to a center to bloom, and they should be together inside and outside."
You go back immediately, tell Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao, suppress the devils in the city with a part of the force, and the main force immediately build fortifications on the spot, before I destroy the remnants of the devils in the city, I must not let the reinforcements of the Shigeto detachment enter the city and join the devils in the city! All in all, stop the main force of the Japanese army at any cost! ”
"Yes." The warrior stood up and saluted, and quickly turned and ran to lead the way away.
Qiao Youhua took a Czech light machine gun from the guard on the side, clicked the bolt, and said sharply: "Pass my order, all battalions and companies will attack with all their strength, and at any cost, before the devil reinforcements arrive, kill the remnants of the Japanese army in the city!" ”
"Yes!" The military commanders of the battalions and companies responded with a bang, and their respective commanders stepped up their attacks.
…………
On the highway from Yangzhou to Yizheng, the main force of the Shigetsu detachment was walking along the road.
At this time, the Shigeto Detachment was under the jurisdiction of the first and second wings of Taiwan's infantry, as well as four wings of mountain artillery and engineers, in addition to a communications brigade.
The encounter with the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in Yizheng was only the main force of the 1st Wing, the 1st Brigade, which has been acting as a vanguard since the landing in Shanghai, whether it is pursuing the Chinese rout or fighting Yangzhou, it is invincible, so it has won the trust of the old devil Chiaki Shigedo.
The garrison of Yizheng was well known to Chiaki Shigeto through the information provided by the Guò Special High School, so the 1st Brigade was already enough to take this small city in Jiangbei.
He led the main force of the detachment and the baggage artillery unit to march backward, because the roads were muddy, and the mountain artillery and baggage troops were moving slowly, so the Shigeto detachment was only halfway now.
It was not until the first request for help from the 1st Brigade that the Shigeto detachment ordered the main force of the 1st Wing under it to abandon its baggage and rush to reinforcements.
Chiaki Shigeto, the old devil, was sitting in an armored car, leisurely closing his eyes and recuperating. In his opinion. Even if some Chinese reinforcements arrived, as long as the main force of the First Infantry Wing arrived in time, it would be useless.
Suddenly, the armored car in which Chiaki Shigedo was riding slammed on the brakes and stopped moving abruptly, and Chiaki Shigedo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating with his eyes closed, almost flew into the steel plate in front of him.
With such a change, Chiaki Shigeto couldn't help but be angry, "Bagaya Road, how do you drive?" ”
"General, there are soldiers blocking our way." A driver said with an aggrieved face.
Chiaki Shigeto's adjutant hurriedly opened the door on the left, and a grizzled Japanese soldier had already hurried over.
"Yaga, what are you working on? Why did you block the General's car? "The adjutant is indiscriminate and scolds head-on.
The soldier hurriedly bowed his head suddenly: "I'm sorry General, the military situation is urgent, please forgive me!" ”
"What happened? So flustered? Chiaki Shigedo said angrily.
"Subordinate to the 6th squad of the 2nd Infantry Squadron of the 1st Brigade, a large number of reinforcements have arrived, the 3rd Squadron has been completely annihilated, our captain and the rest of the Imperial Army are currently guarding the eastern area of Yizheng County, fighting tenaciously with the Zhina people, the Zhina people have completely surrounded the 1st Brigade, the situation is extremely urgent, please send reinforcements quickly Your Excellency General!" The devil soldier lowered his head and said.
Chiaki Shigedo's facial muscles couldn't help twitching a few times, and asked the adjutant next to him, "Hasn't the First Wing arrived yet?" ”
The adjutant said, "Calculate the time, this meeting should be in time." ”
"Yo Xi, very good, the 1st Brigade is not the most elite unit of our detachment, order the 2nd Infantry Wing to advance at full speed, outflank the reinforcements of Yizheng in a roundabout way, give them a counter-encirclement, and at the same time order the 1st Infantry Wing to attack with all its might, rendezvous with the 1st Brigade, and come to the center to scatter flowers.
The inside should be combined with the outside, and this reinforcement army will be completely annihilated! Chiaki Shigedo said ambitiously.
"Hay!" The adjutant hurriedly bowed his head in response, turned around and got out of the car, and quickly gave the order.
…………
It's just that what Chongteng Qianqiu didn't expect was that the reinforcements of his 1st Infantry Wing were stubbornly blocked by Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao's troops as soon as they arrived in the east of Yizheng City.
Although the defensive positions temporarily constructed by the officers and men of these two battalions were not perfect, and even somewhat rudimentary, their equipment was not inferior at all, such as Type 92 heavy machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, Czech, crooked handles, grenadiers, medium formals, and all light and heavy weapons.
Under the command of Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao, the two super soldier kings, all kinds of weapons and equipment were brought into full play, and a series of cross-cutting firepower networks were constructed, and the main force of the 1st Infantry Wing could not move an inch.
The remnants of the 1st Brigade at the head of the city were blocked by them because the city gate had been blocked, and Jiang Haidong had left dozens of marksmen, and the light machine gunners suppressed them with firepower, so they could not go out of the city at all, so they could only watch their own reinforcements being blocked, and they were helpless.
"Kill Quack!" In the first step, Wing Commander Suzuki Kansa rescued the 1st Brigade and kept waving his command knife to urge his subordinates to charge.
But in front of the powerful firepower network of the Dragon's Tooth officers and soldiers, the charging devil soldiers continued to fall one after another like cutting wheat, and no devil could pass through this death zone at all!
