Although Jiang Haidong couldn't guess the specific situation in the city and the specific deployment of the devils, he also knew that the soldiers were fast, so he looked at it for a while, then put away the binoculars, turned around and began to deploy to everyone: "Everyone, the soldiers are fast, we can't give the Japanese puppet army any respite, we must prepare to attack immediately."

In this attack, the main direction of attack is at the West Gate, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment under my command is responsible for the main attack, and the 3rd Regiment and the 3rd Brigade are responsible for the feints in the other three directions. ”

"The brigade guard battalion and the reconnaissance battalion will be retained as reserves, and the artillery battalion will operate with the 2nd Regiment at the west gate, going all out to provide artillery support for the attacking troops."

After saying this, Jiang Haidong said to the commander of the third company just now: "Your third company was very good just now, and then I look forward to you being able to fight more and more bravely in the offensive battle, and give full play to the combat effectiveness that an elite company should have, and give the little devil some color!" ”

The commander of the third company hurriedly straightened his chest and said: "Yes, please rest assured that the brigade commander will definitely lead his brothers to attack with all their strength and fight the little devils to the end!" ”

"Okay, if you don't have any opinions, let's all act according to the order, let's go and prepare quickly, we must take Hengshui before the devil reinforcements arrive! Otherwise, we will be in a disadvantageous passive position! Have you memorized them all? ”

"Yes!" Several military commanders suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and left.

…………

In Hengshui City, the command post of the Japanese army.

The commander of the devil who sat in Hengshui this time was an officer named Muyang Lingcun, who was originally a senior officer of the Japanese garrison stationed in Cangzhou.

Because Hengshui was lost, but the original garrison suffered heavy losses, he was transferred.

Muyang Dazuo also lived up to expectations, much more beautiful than his predecessor, at least for now, he was psychologically and practically prepared to meet the siege of the Dragon Tooth Column.

At this moment, Muyang Dazuo was standing on the roof of the second floor where his command post was located, holding a telescope, and looking around from time to time, although he could only see some gunpowder smoke rising from time to time in the direction of the battle.

There was an army captain officer standing next to Muyang Dazuo, he pressed one hand on the handle of the saber straddling his waist, and the other hand naturally drooped, standing behind him, and said: "Sir, you are wise and martial, you have made so many preparations in advance, this time, we will definitely be able to hold Hengshui and hold out until the reinforcements arrive." ”

Regarding the optimism of his subordinates, Mu Yang Dazuo shook his head lightly and said: "For the time being, we can't be too optimistic, if we want to hold Hengshui City, in addition to the various preparations we are making now, we also need a key support." ”

The devil captain said curiously: "Oh? I don't know what the chief means by support? ”

Muyang Dazuo looked up at the blue sky where the scorching sun was shining, and said, "The support of the aviation!" ”

The devil captain said: "Then I have to ask the front army headquarters for help, but I heard that another unit of the Longya Column has hit the Baoding area, and the aviation of our North China Front is fully supporting the friendly forces in the Baoding direction, and it is difficult to say whether it can be drawn out." ”

The old devil Muyang Dazuo sighed: "So I said, I can't be optimistic too early, Inoue-kun, immediately in my name, send a telegram to Commander Sugiyama Moto and Chief of Staff Shozo Kawabe for help, asking them to send an additional batch of fighters to support us." ”

"Hay." The lieutenant officer hurriedly bowed his head in response, turned around with his saber on his shoulder, and led the way away.

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of cannonball explosions in the direction of the West Gate, which shocked Mu Yang Dazuo and him a lot, and the devil captain turned around directly and glanced in the direction of the West Gate and said, "Sir, it seems that the Zhina Army is about to start attacking again!" ”

"Well, I know, you go to send a message first, and I'll go to Ximen to have a look." Muyang Dazuo Road.

"Hay, Sir, please be safe." With that, he quickly turned around and went down to the roof.

Outside the West Gate, the artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade and the artillery companies directly under each regiment formed a powerful artillery group, which was launching an artillery attack on the wall of the West Gate, where the devils and puppet troops were stationed.

The city gate tower was hit by the cannonballs fired by the dragon's tooth artillery as early as the tentative attack just now, and turned into a pile of ruins in the bright firelight.

Now, under the salvo bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces of different calibers, the city wall of the West Gate soon fell into a sea of fire, and the monstrous flames and thick smoke stirred and billowed into the air.

In the firelight, from time to time, unlucky devils and puppet soldiers were hit by the blast wave and were directly blown away.

When Muyang Dazuo arrived at the west gate with a small group of guards, the artillery fire of the dragon's tooth column outside the city just began to extend towards the city, and many buildings were affected by the raging explosion, splashing countless debris and dust.

The guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the front and back of Mu Yang Dazuo's side, and said with concern: "Sir, the artillery fire is raging here, it's too dangerous, you better go back to the command post first." ”

Protected by the guards in the middle, and seeing that they were full of nervousness, Muyang Dazuo Deng was a little angry and said, "What are you doing here?" What kind of system is it to be so flustered? Get out of the way! As a soldier of the Empire, how could he be afraid of this artillery fire and turn around and retreat? ”

Just as he finished speaking, an overwhelming shout of killing suddenly sounded outside the city, and the attack troops of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Brigade of Longya took the initiative to attack Ximen!

"Did you hear that? The enemy forces outside the city have launched another attack on our defenders, and the Imperial warriors on the city walls need my encouragement, so get out of the way and follow me to the head of the city and fight side by side with the Imperial warriors! After saying that, he pushed away one of the guards who was guarding him, and strode towards the city with his saber in his hand.

Outside the city, the shouts of killing came and went, boiling in the sky, and nearly 700 dragon tooth soldiers shouted in all directions, holding various weapons and equipment while firing at the head of the city, while charging.

Behind them, a large number of machine gunners were firing with all their might, providing them with fire cover.

The devils and puppet troops at the head of the city also knew that there was no way to retreat, so they braved the dense bullet rain of the dragon's tooth column and stubbornly shot back.

The rain of bullets flew back and forth, and almost every second and every minute, someone was shot and fell, or was hit by the blast wave of the stray bullet explosion, and died on the spot.

The commander of the 3rd Company, who had led the tentative attack before, was now charging forward with his twenty-gun box cannon, and shouted as he charged, raising his arms and shouting: "Brothers, rush! Take Simon and take the first credit! Win glory for our second regiment, kill! ”

Inspired by him, the morale of more than 100 officers and men of the Third Company was like a rainbow, and they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks in the face of bullets and bullets.

Soon, some people rushed under the city walls, just as they were about to rush into the hole in the city gate and blast the city gate.

The fire support group of the Devil Grenadier who had been hiding at the root of the city wall got the news and began to throw small grenades outside the city gate.

Tom tom to......m to Dozens of small grenades rose from inside the city in smoke and flew over the walls of the city walls, where there was a fierce exchange of fire, and shot them out of the city.

The warriors who were about to approach the city gate bore the brunt of the "boom, boom, boom......, boom" and were immediately enveloped by a violent explosion, screams rang out one after another, and more than a dozen dragon's tooth warriors fell in a pool of blood.

The commander of the third company was dumbfounded, and he didn't care about dodging the shrapnel brought by the blast wave of the explosion that was still raging, grabbed a general-purpose machine gun that fell to the ground, and fired fiercely at the city wall: "Little devil, I'm cǎo your grandma!" ”

Poof, a shrapnel fragment whistled and flew in, slashing through his left cheek, and in an instant, blood gushed like a spring, but this iron-beaten man didn't even frown, holding the general-purpose machine gun in his arms, and continued to fire at the Japanese puppet army on the city.

Dada...... Under the deafening roar of machine guns, three devils and two puppet soldiers were shot one after another and fell.

However, before the commander of the third company could send someone forward to carry out the blasting again, the screaming sound from the cannon in the city was heard again, and a batch of grenades roared over the city wall again and smashed down towards the city gate.

A violent explosion rang out again, and the offensive of the attacking troops outside the city was frustrated.

Jiang Haidongtong, who was supervising the battle in the rear, noticed the sudden change on the side of the city gate, and couldn't help frowning: "Hey, the little devil still has this trick!" It seems that it is really sloppy! ”

Seeing that the attacking troops were caught off guard by the grenadier fire of the devils, this attack was about to fail.

Jiang Haidong put down the binoculars, turned around and instructed the commander of his guard battalion: "You immediately take the guard battalion to Lao Tzu to go up, without my order, you are not allowed to retreat, and Lao Tzu will take the west gate of Hengshui at the cost of a qiē!" Open the breakthrough! ”

The commander of the guard battalion, dressed in military uniform, immediately puffed up his chest and replied suddenly: "Yes!" Please rest assured that the brigade commander will complete the mission! If the city gate is not broken, the guard battalion will definitely fight bloodily! ”

Jiang Haidong nodded, and the burly guard battalion commander immediately turned around and left, rushing out with hundreds of guard battalion soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and soon joined the battlefield.

At the head of the city, Muyang Dazuo had already climbed to the top of the city with his guards, although he was subject to the fierce fire of the dragon's tooth column outside the city, he himself was also suppressed and could not raise his head, so he had to take a posture of bending down and bowing his head to march.

However, his arrival still gave a shot in the arm to the Japanese troops who were struggling to cope with the battle at the head of the city, and greatly boosted their morale.

There are constantly devils who have a hot head, regardless of their personal lives, and stand up and shoot and throw bombs outside the city, although they are all killed by a dense rain of bullets without exception, but they also cause some trouble to the attacking troops outside the city.

As this situation continued to happen, more and more Japanese puppet troops stood up desperately and began to return fire, coupled with the fire support of the grenadiers inside the city wall, they gradually contained the offensive of the dragon's tooth column outside the city, causing great casualties to the attacking troops outside the city.

At this moment, a group of infantry with more dense and powerful firepower suddenly joined the battlefield, and fired a fierce volley of fire at the head of the city, which immediately suppressed the upper hand that the devil had just pulled back.

Dozens of firepower points of the Japanese puppet army were basically hit by more intensive, powerful and rapid firepower, and suffered heavy losses!
