readx;? He Zhizhong listened to the report of the reconnaissance team, and for a long time he didn't think of any unit that would have such a strong strength. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But it's nothing, no matter which army it is, it helped itself at a critical moment, and he still has a gratitude from the heart. Although the Japanese army retreated, He Zhizhong's heart was still very nervous, first, he did not know whether the Japanese army would attack again, and second, the 86th Army had already suffered heavy casualties, and it would be difficult to resist the Japanese attack without reinforcements.

After He Zhizhong reported the current situation to the Fifth War Zone, he again asked the commander Li Zongren for reinforcements. Wang Haitao hurried with the main force and finally arrived in Hukou County. In the county seat of Hukou County, after the 24th Division transferred its field artillery wing back, the situation changed. The field artillery wing had 36 75-caliber field guns and 12 105-caliber field guns, which was enough to confront the mortars of the 277th Brigade.

After Wu Jianzhou suffered a little loss in the artillery battle, he didn't dare to attack with mortars, but relied on the strong protection ability of heavy tanks and vehicles to put pressure on the head of the city with vehicle-mounted artillery outside the city wall. When Wang Haitao arrived in Wushan Town, he took out dozens of heavy guns and heavy armored vehicles from the heavy artillery regiment.

The troops placed logistics personnel and a battalion of the 278th Brigade in Wushan Town, and then Wang Haitao reorganized the troops and continued to advance towards Hukou County. At this time, the troops not only had infantry from the 278th Brigade, but also two battalions of heavy armored vehicles and heavy artillery regiments. When the troops advanced to Wenqiao Township, which was only 10 kilometers away from Hukou County, Wang Haitao ordered the heavy artillery regiment to find a suitable place and set up an artillery position, and the 15 antiaircraft guns of the antiaircraft artillery battalion were on the periphery of the artillery position to guard against Japanese air raids, and the entire artillery position was guarded by the guard regiment.

After meeting with Wu Jianzhou, Wang Haitao asked Wu Jianzhou about the situation in the past two days. To be honest, with Wang Haitao's current strength, he really didn't take the 24th Division of the Japanese Army on the opposite side as a thing. When he heard Wu Jianzhou's report that the Japanese 24th Division had stopped its attack on Jiujiang City and that the entire division had cowered in the county seat, Wang Haitao said: "Okay! This time, I will completely annihilate this 24th Division as my first battle after leaving the mountain." ”

Wang Haitao then ordered that the armored regiment be used as an assault force, and all the tanks were on top, considering that the Japanese army also had a wild mountain artillery wing, the armored vehicles did not move for the time being. The whole brigade of the 277th Brigade attacked simultaneously with the tank battalion of the armored regiment. Before the attack, the mortar was used to start the artillery bombardment, and after the Japanese artillery fire was returned, the heavy artillery regiment was asked to quickly determine the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese artillery position, destroy it, and ordered the use of the 130 heavy cannon to kill and detonate the grenade, and after the 24th division was destroyed, I wanted the artillery of this artillery wing. The 278th Brigade is a reserve force ready to reinforce the 277th Brigade at any time.

As soon as the order was conveyed, the troops knew that the military seat and the large army had arrived, and this time it was a real general attack, and they were all excitedly making preparations. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the shelling of the city head by 40 heavy mortars began with 40 120 heavy mortars, which opened the prelude to the siege. The heavy mortar fired only three quick shots and began to shift positions.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the Japanese artillery fire returned fire, and the observers were busy calculating the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions according to the ballistics of the incoming shells. In order to attract Japanese artillery fire, dozens of 82 mortars from another mortar position fired three more rapid shots at the city, and sure enough, after a while, the Japanese artillery fire also moved to this mortar position.

After three or four times, the observers had already calculated the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions and gave the coordinates to the heavy artillery regiment by radio. The Tangshan Tiger of the Heavy Artillery Regiment was anxiously waiting for the coordinates, and as soon as the coordinates arrived, Wu Youbao, the battalion commander of the 130 Heavy Cannon Battalion, hurriedly ordered the artillery battalion to adjust the coordinates and directions, and then load and shoot with an anti-explosive grenade!

The muzzles of the twenty 130 heavy cannons spit out fire in turn, and the twenty anti-explosive grenades flew directly over the Japanese artillery positions and exploded, and the moment the anti-explosive grenades exploded in the air, they burned violently and sucked out all the oxygen in this space, and the Japanese soldiers in this area pinched their throats one after another, and soon died of suffocation.

After the Japanese artillery positions were muted, more than 100 mortars of the 277th Brigade combined with the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery regiment simultaneously launched an artillery bombardment on Hukou County. Under the blow of the 150-heavy howitzer, the city wall of Hukou County finally could not bear it and collapsed. When Wang Haitao saw that the city wall had collapsed, he ordered the entire line to attack and asked the heavy artillery regiment to stop the shelling.

The heavy tanks rushed first, the light tanks followed, and then the 568th Regiment of the 277th Brigade followed. Armored vehicles took cover in the back, and the 569th Regiment of the 277th Brigade accompanied the movement of armored vehicles. The heavy tanks ignored the bullets fired by the Japanese and struck directly at the collapsed city walls.

Tank guns shelled the Japanese firing points that were still blocking, and coaxial machine guns and vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns were also firing at full power, sweeping at the Japanese troops. The Japanese army had no way to deal with the attacking tanks, even if they fought for casualties, they could not cause any damage to the heavy tanks by using manpower to carry explosive packs, but suffered a lot of casualties.

Seeing that the Japanese troops at the head of the city could no longer stop the attacking tanks, they withdrew to the city one after another, hoping to use the fortifications in the city to engage in street battles with the Chinese army. However, the Japanese army did not know that the 277th Brigade that attacked was an expert in street fighting as if it were the 568th Regiment, and that it was not an opponent at all in street fighting with the 568th Regiment with the level of the Japanese army.

After entering the city, the bulky tanks were of little use, so the tanks withdrew from the city after breaking through a few hundred meters into the city and allowing the 277th Brigade to occupy a foothold. Instead of tank cars were armored vehicles and armored trucks. In street fighting, when the infantry encountered the stronger fortifications of the Japanese army, they would find an armored truck and attack the Japanese with mortars and heavy machine guns on the armored truck.

In addition, the 10 40 rocket launchers and 12 82 recoilless guns in the hands of the 568th Regiment also wielded their might in the street fighting, and no matter how strong the fortifications were, they could not withstand the attacks of these weapons. However, the strength of the Japanese army in the county town is the strength of a division, even if it is a newly built division of the three-wing system, there are more than 10,000 people, so the progress of the troops in the city is still not fast.

Wang Haitao put the 570th Regiment of the 278th Brigade into battle in a timely manner. The Japanese army was also very stubborn, and many Japanese soldiers after the fortifications were destroyed still charged to the death under the leadership of the officers. It was in this situation that the 569th Regiment began to suffer. As the battle progressed, the attacking 569th Regiment and the 570th Regiment also became familiar with the tactics of street fighting, and their own casualties were minimized in the case of killing a large number of Japanese soldiers.

The two sides fought until five o'clock in the afternoon, and finally the soldiers of the three regiments gathered the remaining Japanese troops in several courtyards where the Japanese division headquarters was located, and it was observed that a total of about 1,000 Japanese troops had gathered here, including the division commander of the 24th Division, Yoshio Kuroiwa.

Wang Haitao also came here under the protection of a platoon of guards, Wang Haitao never thought about letting the Japanese surrender at all, and with the bestiality of the Japanese army in Jingdezhen, Wang Haitao would not accept the surrender of the Japanese army. When Wang Haitao arrived here, the soldiers were setting up light and heavy machine guns and firing at the Japanese troops on the courtyard wall.

Wang Haitao frowned and asked his subordinates to call Li Chunshan, the commander of the 568th Regiment. After Li Chunshan ran over, Wang Haitao said to him coldly: "Chunshan, what are you rubbing? Isn't it okay to cover the courtyard with artillery fire and then blast the courtyard wall with a bazooka?" Li Chunshan hesitated and said: "Military seat, the chief of staff of the armed forces said that if the supreme commander of small Japan can be captured alive, it will be a great achievement. ”

After hearing this, Wang Haitao said: "The commander of the little Japan is not so easy to capture alive, don't think about it, I don't have so much time to waste here, I will give you an hour to end the battle." When Li Chunshan heard this, he immediately straightened up and replied: "Yes, military seat!" I promise to end the battle within an hour. ”

Li Chunshan returned to the regiment and immediately brought in 20 heavy mortars and launched an artillery bombardment on the courtyard occupied by the Japanese army. Twenty heavy mortars, just one round of shelling caused the entire courtyard to be enveloped in gunpowder smoke and fire, Li Chunshan let the mortars fire two more rounds before using bazookas to blast the courtyard wall.

When the soldiers rushed into the courtyard with their weapons, the entire courtyard was littered with stumps and severed arms and the corpses of Japanese soldiers. One rushed into two courtyards, and the soldiers met little resistance. When the soldiers rushed into the last courtyard, there were twenty or thirty remnants of Japanese soldiers blocking the gate of the inner room, for a Japanese soldier.

When Wang Haitao got the report and came to the courtyard, the big man was shouting in Japanese: "You people are all cowards, and none of you dare to duel with me like a real samurai." Wang Haitao replied in Japanese: "Stop, you claim to be a samurai, but those bestialities you have done are not worthy of being a samurai at all." You are only invaders who are inferior to beasts. I will let you understand that the Chinese are by no means cowards, so let me teach you your sword technique!"

After speaking, he sat down on the gun of the soldier next to him, took out a triangular army thorn, held it in his hand, and walked forward. Although the soldiers could not understand what the military seat said to the Japanese, they understood the behavior of the military seat as soon as they saw it, and several people immediately stepped forward to ask for battle. After Wang Haitao stopped them, he walked to the middle.

The Japanese soldier Dazuo also took a few steps forward with a command knife, bowed to Wang Haitao and said, "I'm Hiroshi Miyamoto, please advise!" Wang Haitao waved his hand and said: "Remember, my name is Wang Haitao! Hiroshi Miyamoto was taken aback and said, "Your Excellency is Wang Haitao, who made General Gu Shoufu and the Sixth Division break jade?"

Seeing that Wang Haitao nodded, Miyamoto Hiroshi bowed again and said, "I've been looking up for a long time, and I'm fortunate to be able to fight with Your Excellency today." With that, he pulled out his katana and made a starting pose. Wang Haitao knew that this person's knife skills were good as soon as he saw this person's starting style, but he still didn't put it in his eyes. At this time, Hiroshi Miyamoto shouted, and an arrow rushed up, and the katana in his hand turned into a cold light and slashed down at Wang Haitao.
