Chapter 579: Bloody Battle in Zhengzhou (2) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
"Boom! Rumble! Boom!"
As the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 196th Division, in recent years, he felt that he had completely violated the two words of a soldier, and transformed from a real soldier who was willing to do anything for the country and the people into a cunning politician who pursued benefits and avoided disadvantages.
Zhang Huwei has never been so calm as he is today, and an hour ago he was still thinking about how to get out of this crisis, especially how to avoid the annihilation of the Japanese army without being held accountable. But now that he had forgotten all these things, since God would not let him live in secret, then he felt that he should die a vigorous death.
"Report to the regimental seat, a section of the city wall at the east gate has been blown down, and the devils are pouring in from where, and the first battalion has suffered great casualties!" An ensign ran in and reported.
"Tell Li Rongguang, just say that Lao Tzu said, let him resist, when the soldier dies, the officer will be on top, and after the officer is dead, Lao Tzu will be on top himself!"
"Yes!"
"Report to the regiment, the East Gate Tower was lost, and Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang was killed!"
"Report to the regiment, the city gate was opened from the inside by the devils, and the devils' tanks drove into the city!"
"Report to the regimental seat, the headquarters of the first battalion was shelled by devils, and Battalion Commander Li, along with the company commander and the second company commander, were all buried under the rubble!"
Hearing that the commander of the first battalion had died in battle, Zhang Huwei put his steel helmet on his head and shouted: "The guard platoon will follow you!" ”
Just when Zhang Huwei and others were fighting with the Japanese army, Qin Yiwu and others were less than 3 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City. Along the way, Qin Yiwu was quite puzzled. It's been more than ten minutes, and the sound of gunfire in the direction of Zhengzhou has not weakened at all, but has become stronger and stronger.
Something is wrong with the situation, could it be that the established defenders and little devils are dead? If that's really the case, Qin Yiwu really admires the commander of the Hunan army, he is a real man.
At 4:40 p.m., Qin Yiwu and others finally arrived at the north gate of Zhengzhou, but they did not see the Japanese army here.
Qin Yiwu immediately judged that this should only be the front unit of the Japanese army. Otherwise, with the style of the Japanese army, the four city gates must be blocked first, and then they will be attacked. Now the Japanese army is mainly attacking the east gate. This can only show that the little devil's strength is very limited. Immediately decided, Qin Yiwu immediately ordered the troops to abandon entering the city from the north gate, immediately detour to the east gate, and stab the little devil's chrysanthemum.
The commander of the second battalion in charge of the north gate broke out in a cold sweat. When I was at the regiment headquarters, I heard a report from the staff officer that a large army of devils had been found in the north. The number of people is around 10,000. I didn't expect that there are really a lot of devil troops in this army, let alone a few thousand people. And their second battalion had less than 400 men, and they had to guard the northwest two gates. The troops were already stretched, how could they be the opponent of this powerful devil army.
However, to the surprise of the second battalion commander, the Japanese army did not attack immediately, but instead ran east after a short stop, which made the second battalion commander happy and at the same time quite puzzled. In addition, the military uniforms of these "devils" are also different, although they are also yellow dog skins, but in addition to yellow, there are green and black spots on them, which is very different from the earthy yellow dog skin of ordinary devils.
Outside the east gate, the vast majority of the Japanese army had already entered the city, and only a Japanese brigade headquarters and an artillery squadron were left outside the city. Since the main street fighting was carried out after entering the city, and the artillery could not apply bayonets to the artillery, it almost lost its effect and had to stay outside the city.
However, just when all the Japanese troops thought that taking the city of Zhengzhou was like a bag to get something, a huge army suddenly rushed out from the north of the city.
The commander of the Japanese army, Takeda Shaosa, has been serving in North China for more than two years, and he is very familiar with this kind of army that suddenly appeared, which is the standard military uniform of the Eighth Theater of Operations, known as camouflage military uniforms.
Takeda Shaoza was taken aback, he didn't expect to meet the army of the Eighth War Zone here, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them. While ordering the artillery squadron to block on the spot, Takeda Shaozo retreated to Zhengzhou City with his brigade headquarters. Now that almost all of his troops have entered the city to fight, they can't withdraw at all, and the only way is to enter the city to fight, deal with the Chinese army in the city, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The idea is good, but it's a pity that Qin Yiwu didn't give him this opportunity, Qin Yiwu saw a group of Japanese officers fleeing towards Zhengzhou City from a distance, and immediately ordered the bazooka men to fire, only to see a dozen rockets quickly shoot in the direction of those Japanese officers.
"Boom" "Boom" After a few explosions, only two or three of the dozen or so Japanese officers barely ran into the city, and the rest were all beaten into pulp.
The 2nd Regiment of the 169th Division was already at the end of the crossbow, and almost all of the positions at the east gate were lost, less than 70 of the more than 380 people in the first battalion remained, and the rest were all killed in battle, and a company drawn from the 2nd and 3rd battalions also lost more than half, and now he is withdrawing from the headquarters of the commander of the first theater with the only remaining more than 180 people. At the same time, Zhang Huwei sent people to inform the 2nd and 3rd battalions that if the Japanese army had not been found at the south and north gates, let the commander of the second and third battalions leave the city immediately with the rest of the troops, and he and the rest of the brothers would be their queen.
There is no need to persist in the battle so far, and fighting to the death without retreating will only increase casualties. Originally, this battle was not a close match. Although the quality of the Japanese army has deteriorated very badly, a reinforced brigade equipped with tanks and artillery is not something that an infantry regiment of a miscellaneous division can compete with, and you must know that at the beginning of the war, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army could easily defeat a Chinese infantry division, and if there was an infantry wing, they would dare to face a Chinese army.
Anyway, now that the goal has been achieved, let all the people of the country know that they resisted, and the fight was fierce, and they also covered the retreat of some of the people, which is enough, and now it is a good thing if you can withdraw more people.
In addition, Zhang Huwei himself participated in the battle just now, and he knew that before there were no effective anti-tank weapons, the dozens of iron kings of the Japanese army were invincible, and every time they destroyed an iron king, they had to pay the price of at least 5 to 10 people, and the devils had at least 50 tanks of all sizes, even if they filled everyone in, they might not be able to kill all those devils, and this battle was already a one-sided slaughter.
However, to Zhang Huwei's shock, the people who sent Lu to give the order soon returned, not only the heralds returned, but also hundreds of people from the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the regimental headquarters guard company, and the mighty four or five hundred people quickly repelled a wave of Japanese attacks.
"Why are you all here, have you all found devils at the north gate, the west gate, and the south gate?"
The commander of the second battalion saw Shen Daquan, the chief of staff, and said: "Big brother, although we found devils over there, they did not attack the north gate, but all ran to the east gate, and no devils were found at the west gate!" ”
"Tuanza, we didn't find any devils at the south gate!" Liang Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, also replied loudly.
"Then why didn't you leave the city?"
"Big brother, you haven't gone out, how can we get out, where are you letting our faces go!" Shen Daquan said.
", my life is gone, I want to have a fart in my face!" Zhang Huwei shouted angrily.
"Is it useful to manage the ball, anyway, if the eldest brother doesn't go, I won't go, whoever you love will go!" Shen Daquan said loudly.
"Tuanzuo, you haven't withdrawn, how can we withdraw, if you want to die, everyone will die together, and you can have a companion on the road!"
"Tuanza, we're not leaving! It's fucking cool to follow you to fight devils! ”
"Yes, let's go! The brothers don't want to go back and be angry with the birds! ”
“……”
Looking at the expressions of the brothers who looked at death as if they were at home, Zhang Huwei was extremely moved in his heart, after so many years of fighting, he felt that he had this group of brothers who were born and died - it was worth it!
"Hahaha! Okay, since the brothers are not afraid of death, then what is there to be hypocritical about me Zhang Huwei, pass on my order, take the theater headquarters as the center, and the surrounding 4 blocks as the boundary to defend on the spot, we fight with the little devils! Zhang Huwei said with a wild laugh.
"Fight!"
"Fight with the little devil raised by the son of a bitch..."
However, at this moment, a senior soldier ran in and said: "There is a situation in the regiment, the little devil is infighting!" ”
"Infighting?"
"Yes, the little devil is fighting with his own people?" The senior soldier said out of breath.
"Impossible, little devils rarely fight with each other, how can there be infighting!" Zhang Huwei said loudly.
"Tuanza, it's absolutely right, the brothers at the front have seen it, the little devils who attacked us are fighting with a group of devils dressed in fancy clothes, the big ones are hateful, at least twenty devils Iron King Eight have been beaten into scrap metal!" The senior soldier said anxiously.
"Fancy devils in fancy clothes?"
"yes, I've never seen a devil like that anyway!"
"Big brother, I've seen this group of devil brothers, just now they were transferred from the north gate to the east gate, these people are all carrying a big backpack, wearing all yellow-green military uniforms, weapons and equipment that we have never seen, definitely not the army of the party-state!"
"Let's go, let's go and have a look," Zhang Huwei immediately decided.
Walking out of the headquarters, Zhang Huwei and the others came to a five-story cement building not far away, which is the highest in the entire Zhengzhou City, and can overlook the nearby places within a few kilometers.
Observing through the binoculars, Zhang Huwei found that as the senior soldier said, in the east of the city, there were two teams of men and horses fighting, one was the Japanese devil who had just fought with them, and the other was a unit wearing strange military uniforms.
Zhang Huwei said while watching: "This army is definitely not a devil, their goal is very clear, they are all dead hands, the devils have fallen into a bitter battle in an all-round way, and they will be defeated soon!" ”
Suddenly, Shen Daquan pointed to the distance and said in surprise: "Big brother, look! ”
Following the direction of Shen Daquan's finger, Zhang Huwei saw a green banner held high, with a hideous wolf head on it, with fierce eyes and long fangs, as if choosing someone to devour! (To be continued......)
