Tang Hongming stood on the command car, looked at the battlefield form with a telescope, and everything was clear. Although the 460th Brigade had the upper hand, it was unlikely that it would be able to deal with the Japanese troops who were still desperately resisting. The sound of artillery in the distance was still intense, and just listening to the sound of those Japanese artillery, you could tell how much pressure the military seat was under.

Tang Hongming did not hesitate to let the 461st Brigade send another 874th and 8752 infantry regiments to press it, and the 30 105-caliber self-propelled howitzers of the division's self-propelled howitzer battalion, under the cover of the armored regiment and the 876th regiment, went straight to Fenghuang Town, and wanted to strike and destroy the Japanese artillery positions after finding them. The commanders of several units were ordered to leave, and soon several units moved separately. The 1st Guards Regiment also took part in the attack at the same time.

The 874th Regiment and the 875th Regiment were the fastest, and as soon as the two regiment commanders gave an order, dozens of light and heavy armored vehicles took the lead in rushing forward, followed by more than 5,000 officers and men of the two regiments. The 170th Wing of the Japanese Army was already a strong crossbow, but now the fresh forces of the two regiments rushed up with shouts, and the 170th Wing was suddenly defeated.

As soon as the 170th Wing broke and fled, the west gate of Phoenix Town was exposed, and the reconnaissance platoon guarding the wall saw that reinforcements had arrived, and hurriedly opened the city gate. The first regiment of guards who rushed to the front entered the city first, and Wei Bin, the commander of the 460th Brigade in the back, only asked a few words about the situation, and then rushed to the east of the city with his soldiers. Wang Haitao and the others also reached a life-and-death juncture at this time, and there were less than 100 people on the position who could pick up guns, and after the mortars finished firing the shells, the gunners also picked up their guns and went into battle.

When the first regiment of guards arrived, the Japanese troops were less than 100 meters away from the wall. The defenders suddenly came up with more than 1,000 people, and a burst of fire caused a large number of attacking Japanese troops to fall. The commander of the Japanese army, Kanejiro Miyata, saw that reinforcements had arrived on the defenders' positions, sighed, and ordered a retreat. The Japanese retreated like a tide, Wang Haitao sat on the ground, and the soldiers who were guarding together were also exhausted and crooked on the bunker.

At this time, Wei Bin came to Wang Haitao with Chen Dian, the commander of the 872nd Regiment, and Tang Fu, the head of the 1st Guard Regiment. Wang Haitao smiled reluctantly and said, "Wei Bin, if you arrive a little later, I'm afraid you will be here heroically." Wei Bin said this, and their faces showed shame.

Wei Bin said: "Military seat, the lowly rescue is late, and I am willing to be dealt with by military law." Wang Haitao waved his hand and said, "I can't blame you, I underestimated the enemy." Just as he was saying that, Tang Hongming also arrived with a few of his subordinates, Tang Hongming stood up and saluted and said: "Report to the military seat, all the 210th Division has arrived, and the military seat is frightened." Wang Haitao waved his hand, smiled again and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you all blame me for being too light on the enemy, but it's a pity that so many good soldiers have been sacrificed." ”

At this time, Tang Hong noticed that half of Wang Haitao's clothes were stained red with blood, as well as bandages, and exclaimed: "Junzao, are you injured?" Wang Haitao tilted his head and glanced at the injured arm, and said, "It's okay, let the bullet wipe it." Tang Hongming turned around and shouted: "Medic, come here! Junzuo is wounded!" Then he turned back to Wang Haitao and said: "Junzao, you go down and rest, you can rest assured if you leave it to me here!"

Wang Haitao was indeed tired, and with the strength of the 210th Division, it would not be a problem to deal with the Japanese army in front of him, so he responded: "Okay, you have full command here, and I will go back to the headquarters first." Seeing the soldiers carrying Wang Haitao away, as well as the dead and wounded comrades who were carried down, and the exhausted soldiers who were carried to walk, Tang Hongming's anger ignited again.

Tang Hongming said to his subordinates, Wei Bin and Liu Mingde, the two brigade commanders: "Grandma's little Japan, bullied the head of the military seat, if you don't give him a little bit of power, he doesn't know that he can't afford to provoke our Ninth Army!" As he was talking, there was a report from his subordinates, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were preparing to retreat. Tang Hongming said angrily when he heard this: "Grandma's want to run, I see if you can run through the chariot!"

After speaking, he turned around and ordered: "Wei Bin, your 460th Brigade is responsible for guarding the military seat in Phoenix Town. The armored regiment was ordered to give the task of covering the self-propelled howitzer battalion to the 876th regiment, and then launch a surprise attack on the Japanese. The 874th Regiment and the 875th Regiment attacked together with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu wanted Little Japan to look good today. Not long after the order was issued, he heard the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, and Wei Bin shouted: "Division, it's the sound of the self-propelled howitzer battalion!" Tang Hongming glanced in the direction where the artillery came from and said: "The self-propelled howitzer battalion has discovered the artillery position of Little Japan, and this is striking at Little Japanese artillery." Regardless of them, we strike. ”

Miyata Kanjiro Daisa, knowing that there was no hope of capturing this Phoenix Town, sighed for his own failure, and as soon as he ordered the whole army to retreat, he heard the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance. Miyata Kanjiro hurriedly sent people to check what was going on, and as soon as the people who went to check left, some of his subordinates came to report that the Shina troops in Phoenix Town on the opposite side were about to attack him.

Now Miyata Kanjiro has a half-infantry wing here, half is his own 108th Infantry Wing, and the other is the 137th Infantry Wing sent for reinforcements. The Shina army was about to launch an attack on itself, and Kanjiro Miyata and Captain of the 137th Wing, Tsuro Kawasaki, glanced at each other, and at the same time decided not to retreat in a hurry, but to give the Shina people who dared to attack a little color.

The 108th Wing of Kanjiro Miyata was on the front line, and the 137th Wing was ready to support at any time in the back. Just after Miyata Kanjiro Osa's order to hold his position, the man sent out to check on the situation returned, and this man reported in a panic that the 104th Wing of the Field Artillery was suddenly attacked by the Shina artillery, suffered heavy casualties, and the artillery of the wing was also completely lost.

Kanjiro Miyata looked at Shiro Kawazaki in surprise, and a bad thought came to mind. The Japanese army was still well-trained, and after Miyata Kanjiro Daisa gave the order to hold his position, in a short time, they were ready to defend. It's a pity that they encountered the 210th Division, which was far stronger than them. When Tang Hongming saw that the Japanese army did not withdraw, but wanted to hold its position, he immediately ordered the 30 howitzers of the 150-caliber heavy howitzer battalion and the 54 field guns of the 461st Brigade to be ready for shelling.

Under the bombardment of 30 150-caliber heavy howitzers and 54 75-caliber field guns, the fortifications hastily built by the Japanese army were like paper paste, destroying the fortifications on the Japanese defensive positions. Behind them were more than 5,000 officers and men of the 874th and 8752nd infantry regiments.

The terrifying artillery bombardment of the 210th Division, coupled with the dozens of chariots that led the assault, made Miyata Kanjiro Osa speechless, and then he realized what a mistake he had made by ordering a firm position. At this point, it's too late to regret it, Miyata Kanjiro Osa knows that if he retreats now and lets the chariot of the Shina people fight behind his ass, his own half-wing team can only be a rout, and its losses will be extremely heavy.

Therefore, Miyata Kanjiro Dazuo was heartbroken, and asked Kawasaki Shiro Dazuo to lead the 137th Wing to withdraw first, and he took the 108th Wing to desperately block the attack of the Shina army. Kawasaki Shiro Osa also knew that a strong man's broken wrist was the only way to reduce losses at present, and after telling Miyata Kanjiro Osa to take care, he led the 137th Wing to withdraw first.

There was no suspense in the battle at all, and the 461st Brigade completely solved this half of Miyata Kanjiro Daisa's wing in only half an hour with the momentum of devastation, and Miyata Kanjiro Daisa himself died on the battlefield. When the 137th Wing retreated, it was intercepted by the armored regiment, and it was able to get out after paying the price of nearly 1,000 people.

After this battle, the 104th Division of the Japanese Army was almost completely wiped out, only half of the 161st Wing and 137th Wing of the four infantry wings remained, the 108th Wing was completely wiped out, the 170th Wing had little left, and the 104th Artillery Wing and the 104th Cavalry Wing were all wiped out in the vicinity of Phoenix Town. When the division commander, Lieutenant General Toshio Miyake, learned the result, a mouthful of old blood spurted Lao Gao and passed out. Soon after, he was taken back to his homeland and court-martialed.

After Wang Haitao rested here in Fenghuang Town for two days, most of his energy was restored, and all of them withdrew to Wuzhou under the protection of the 210th Division. The team entered Guangxi, and Tang Hongming and others breathed a sigh of relief. The troops rested in Wuzhou for a few more days, joined the 542nd Regiment, and turned to Longzhou with all the supplies.

During the rest and recuperation in Wuzhou, Wang Haitao and Tang Hongming respectively counted the number of people, and the two companies that followed Wang Haitao's actions suffered 26 casualties, 12 seriously wounded to the disabled, and 46 lightly wounded, and the guard company suffered 47 casualties, 21 seriously wounded to the disabled, and 104 lightly wounded. The minor injuries here do not count the fighters who are still fighting hard, otherwise the two companies would not be able to find many intact people.

The 210th Division also lost 269 casualties, more than 600 wounded, nine heavy armored vehicles, and 11 light armored vehicles were destroyed. In the face of these figures, Wang Haitao also blamed himself, if he had known this, he would rather not have the arms in the arms warehouse in Guangzhou City, but hundreds of lives would have been buried because of his reckless decision.

And Tang Hongming and them, including Tangshan Leopard, do not see it that way, this trip to Guangzhou, although hundreds of soldiers were sacrificed, and many more were wounded, but the Japanese arsenal was killed, a large number of weapons and ammunition were obtained, and almost all the Japanese 104th Division was annihilated, it was really a big victory, this blow to the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could only retreat near the city of Guangzhou, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army's strength in Guangdong, and the price paid was absolutely worthwhile.

However, this time Wang Haitao risked his life as the commander of an army, it is absolutely undesirable, if Wang Haitao has any mistakes, then everything is not worth it, and what will happen after losing Wang Haitao's 90th army, no one can say. Therefore, after returning to Longzhou, Wang Haitao experienced countless reproaches and persuasions, and it was not until he made countless promises that everyone let him go.
