Chapter 19: Street Battle!
Kazuo Hachihashi paused and said, "Yes, Captain." ”。
Then, Kazuo Yatsuhashi shouted to Watanabe Shuichiro, the communications staff officer of the wing on the side, "Hurry up, send a report to Emperor Wu City immediately." In addition, he called back Taro Kato, strictly ordered to fight to the death and wait for reinforcements, delayed the troops of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked at night, and waited for reinforcements to arrive. ”
Watanabe Shuiichiro, communications staff officer of the Sakata Wing, said suddenly, "Yes, Chief of Staff." ”。
Immediately, Shuichiro Watanabe immediately walked back to the wing communications room, and commanded the communications troops under his command to send a report immediately.
"I hope that Taro Kato can entangle the men and horses of the independent regiment to attack Heyuan County at night, once the reinforcements arrive, the counter-encirclement of the other party should be able to eat Li Yunlong's night attack troops."
Shinjiro Sakata muttered to himself.
You must know that Sakata Nobuzhe, who was killed by Wang Chengzhu's two shells in the battle of Cangyunling, is his brother!
"Co-captain, Taro Kato will withstand it."
The chief of staff of the wing, Kazuo Hachihashi, was only comforting, but it was unknown whether Taro Kato would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
"Hopefully!"
Sakata Shinjiro looked at the map with a solemn face, the Second Infantry Brigade of the wing of Emperor Wu City dispatched most of the more than 1,000 people, but it took an hour to march in a hurry.
However, whether Taro Kato can withstand an hour can only hope that Taro Kato will give some strength.
In less than two minutes, the return call from the Sakata United Team Headquarters was quickly received by the Devil Radio of the Kato Brigade Department.
"Captain, call back from the wing headquarters!!"
After Kentaro Kusada, chief of staff of the brigade, received the report from the communications corps, he immediately took the telegram back and said to Taro Kato.
"Yoxi, Yoxi!"
After reading the telegram and seeing that the Second Infantry Brigade had been stationed in Emperor Wu City to reinforce Heyuan, Taro Kato said to Kentaro Kusada: "Immediately spread the news that reinforcements have arrived to all squadrons to encourage the soldiers of the Imperial Army to fight bravely." ”。
"Hurry up and drop!!"
Kentaro Kusada immediately said, "Yes, Captain." ”。
"Hurry up, spread the word, reinforcements will arrive soon, order all the soldiers of the imperial army, fight bravely to kill the enemy, hurry up!!"
The devil herald who was summoned by Kentaro Kusada immediately said, "Yes, Chief of Staff." ”。
Immediately, the devil herald ran away from the brigade headquarters.
It's just that at this time, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing have been heard closer and closer.
In particular, the shouts and killings of the fighters of the Independent Regiment have been clearly heard by Taro Kato.
It is conceivable that the night attack troops commanded by Li Yunlong have already hit a place not far from the brigade headquarters.
"Boom, boom!!"
"Tutu Tutu Tutu Tu Tu !!"
The explosion of grenades, mortar shells, and the explosion of shells from Type 92 infantry guns fired by the devil artillery squad, and the gunfire of submachine guns, Type 38 rifles, Hanyang-made rifles and other firearms are intertwined.
Taro Kato hurriedly ran up to the roof of the third floor of the building where the brigade headquarters was located and condescendingly observed the enemy situation.
Looking around, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment and the reconnaissance company, under the cover of mortar and machine-gun fire, stormed the positions of the circular defensive ring formed with the brigade headquarters as the core stronghold.
"Baga, the independent regiment is fighting too hard!"
Taro Kato had to admit that Li Yunlong's soldiers of the Independent Regiment were far stronger in night combat than the soldiers of the Imperial Army under his command.
The attack is sharp, and the tactical movements are very skillful.
"Captain, look, the main force of the enemy army that came over from the south is probably four or five hundred people, and I am afraid that there are only more than 100 meters left from the brigade headquarters."
Kentaro Kusada exclaimed, pointing to the street south of the brigade headquarters.
Taro Kato raised his binoculars to take a closer look, only to see that in the night, the independent regiment that broke through the city from the south gate was densely packed.
But at least a lot has been seen, four or five hundred people.
"I see it."
Taro Kato's expression was serious, although he had urgently switched to defense, but he didn't expect the other party's attack to be so fierce and ferocious.
No wonder, in the original battle of Cangyunling, several brigades of the wing surrounded the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong at that time, and they were actually broken out from the front by the other party.
Li Yunlong's men and horses can really fight!
"Transfer part of the 3rd Infantry Squadron to the south to strengthen the blocking force of the Gangtian Squadron."
Taro Kato said to the chief of staff, Kentaro Kusada.
"Understood, Captain."
Kentaro Kusada nodded, then immediately turned around and returned to the brigade headquarters, deploying troops to strengthen the blocking force to the south.
On the streets of Nancheng, after entering the city from the south gate, Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao's battalion and reconnaissance company, and a part of the artillery company to fiercely attack northward.
After defeating the Gangtian squadron along the way, he chased after the ass of the Gangtian squadron and killed him.
"Sudden !!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Li Yunlong commanded Duan Peng to advance with an assault attack, and the infantry battalion behind him covered the attack with two flanks, each company and platoon.
met the devils who occupied the rooftops on both sides of the street, and beckoned Wang Chenghai's mortars to kill them with a few shots.
Under the night battle, the little devils' blocking points were pulled out one by one.
In particular, the 2nd Infantry Squadron under the Kato Brigade, which was transferred to the south to block the attack, that is, the squadron commanded by Kazuo Okada, was chased and beaten by the 1st Battalion and other units under the command of Li Yunlong, and suffered heavy casualties.
"Eight Tooth Road, Eight Grid Tooth Road!!"
If you retreat again, you will retreat to the brigade headquarters.
Seeing that the independent regiment had already hit the street less than 100 meters away from the brigade headquarters, Kazuo Okada scolded and cursed, and the squadron of the command post headquarters did not retreat, and fought to the death on the spot to block it.
"Boom, boom!!"
Several mortar shells, under the personal command and operation of Wang Chenghai, commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, blew up several machine-gun fire points of the squadron of Kazuo Okada.
In the night, the overturned Devil Gunner and Machine Gun suddenly returned to their original parts state.
"Damn!!"
Kazuo Gangda scolded, the gunner of the independent regiment is too awesome!
His machine gunner didn't shoot a few shuttles, and the mortar shells of the opposing side whistled in, and it was like death.
In the midst of the gunfire, the squadron adjutant ran to Kazuo Gangda and squatted down, and said anxiously: "Squadron leader, the captain transferred a squad from the third squadron to reinforce us. ”。
"Yo Xi, let them hold the right flank and block the enemy attack!"
The adjutant immediately said, "Hey!! ”
Immediately, the transferred Japanese squad was immediately arranged to strengthen the blocking force on the right flank of the blocking line.
"Dada!!"
Seeing that the Gangtian squadron was desperately blocked by a small squadron, Li Yunlong immediately moved the Makqin heavy machine gun forward, and ordered Wang Chenghai to concentrate two 82-millimeter mortars to bombard the devil's fire point and cover the infantry of the first battalion to attack and advance.
