"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

Nakamura Zhenxiong gritted his teeth and said: "All the artillery is finished, so next, don't we have the cover of artillery?" ”。

"Division commander, steady!"

As the chief of staff of Nakamura Zhenxiong, Kita Taijiro immediately grabbed Nakamura Zhenxiong's crumbling body and said urgently: "All the warriors of the imperial army must be under your command to defend Qianjia Town." ”。

"Yes, steady, I need to steady."

The old devil Nakamura Zhenxiong suddenly continued to cheer up, and said directly to Kita Taijiro: "Order all troops, prepare to fight to the death." ”。

"Yes, division commander."

Of course, Kita Taijiro also understood, even if there was no artillery support, he had to fight and defend Qianjia Town.

Otherwise, once Qianjia Town was broken by the men and horses of the Eighth Route Army.

Relying on the current strength of the imperial army, it is not impossible to be annihilated by the other party.

So, Kita Taijiro hurriedly sent someone to send an order to all Japanese troops to fight to the death.

At this time, Wang Chenghai, commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, commanded the artillery soldiers to destroy the artillery positions of the devils, and continued to command the artillery fighters, concentrated all the artillery and mortars, and aimed at the outskirts of Qianjia Town and the places in the depths of the town that were very likely to be the key defense areas of the devils to carry out fierce shelling.

"Brothers, keep banging me hard, blow up the little devils, blow up the Stone Age!"

Wang Chenghai also laughed and said, the devil's artillery position seems to be finished, after all, the huge sky-high fire generated by the martyrdom exploded, which almost illuminated the night sky of the entire Qianjia Town.

"Yes, company commander."

All the artillery fighters roared, and the reloading of shells in their hands did not stop for a moment.

Soon, the fierce artillery fire continued to carry out fierce artillery strikes on the outskirts of Qianjia Town and the areas in the depths of the town, where the devils might focus on defending.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

One by one, the shells continued to be fired at an extremely fast loading speed, marking the light of the cannonball tail flame in the night sky, and then slammed into the devil's position.

Huge explosions came one after another, and the little devils who exploded cried and called their mothers.

Because the devil troops under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong were hastily blocked in Qianjia Town, there was not enough time to build strong fortifications.

Therefore, many devils rush to repair the fortifications even after rushing to the defense.

However, after the ensuing independent regiment and other units surrounded Qianjia Town, they began to fire at half past two.

At this moment, many casualties began to be caused by the bombing.

Under Li Yunlong's order, Wang Chenghai directly shelled for at least ten minutes.

It was not until 2:45 a.m. that the shelling began to concentrate mainly in the depths of Qianjia Town.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already landed on the hill in front of the temporary headquarters and looked at Qianjia Town condescendingly!

Seeing that the time for the shelling had come, he immediately ordered the fighters with flare guns to fire three more flares.

And these three signal flares exploded again in the night sky, and the dazzling white light was immediately seen by Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who were waiting for Li Yunlong's order.

Then, the independent regiment that surrounded Qianjia Town, the men and horses of the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment launched an infantry attack at the same time.

Of course, during the infantry attack, three men and horses were equipped with mortars at the same time, and followed the infantry to cover the artillery attack.

After all, in night battles, close artillery support, mortars are very good.

"Tick tick, tick tick!"

Accompanied by a loud trumpet, it was the trumpet of an infantry attack.

"Da-da-da, da-da!!"

All the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and other units besieging Qianjia Town began to attack, and the fire of light and heavy machine guns was also a continuous and fierce strafing cover.

In the night, the white trajectory of a machine gun was very obvious, constantly suppressing the firepower points leaked by the devils on the temporary defensive positions on the periphery of Qianjia Town.

And the artillery, which closely followed the infantry attack, also took advantage of the lightness of the mortar to constantly blow up the machine gun fire points of the devils at close range.

What's more, night battles themselves are the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

The Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were all elite units that fought at night.

Especially Li Yunlong's independent regiment, it is even better at night battles!

With the infantry attack of the Independent Regiment and other units, Qianjia Town was fiercely approaching by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Countless bullets and shells, the devils who defended Qianjia Town directly couldn't raise their heads, and they suffered heavy casualties!

In less than five minutes of fierce fighting, the urgent battle situation everywhere reached the ears of Nakamura Zhenxiong.

Nakamura Zhenxiong's temporary concealed headquarters in Qianjia Town kept receiving urgent reports from Japanese troops in various places within five minutes of the official start of the battle.

"Report to Your Excellency General, the outer positions on the north side of Qianjia Town are about to be lost, and I ask for support."

Nakamura Zhenxiong heard the report of the devil soldiers who ran in, waved his hand and pretended to be calm: "Order General Yoshikawa Shojiro to send two squadrons to support the north!" ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency."

And less than half a minute after the devil soldier went out, another devil soldier ran in to report the situation.

"Report to Your Excellency General, the peripheral positions in the west and south of Qianjia Town are also frequently urgent, the enemy attacks fiercely, there are a large number of mortars accompanying the infantry to carry out artillery attacks, our firing points have been pulled out one by one, and the peripheral positions in both directions are about to be lost."

When Nakamura Zhenxiong heard this, his face changed slightly, "Order General Sato Jio to fight to the death without retreating, and to put the enemy army close before fighting." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The devil soldiers ran out in response.

Without waiting for Nakamura to take a breath and look at the map, the rumbling gunfire continued to strike.

"Report to Your Excellency General, the eastern outlying positions have been lost."

Just a few seconds after Nakamura took a breath of relief, another devil soldier ran in and reported the latest situation of the eastern outlying position.

"Nani?"

When Nakamura Zhenxiong heard this, his face finally changed greatly.

The outer position on the east side of Qianjia Town was lost, didn't the other party have already begun to attack deep into the town?

"Immediately transfer 1,000 men from the reserve to the east to block the enemy troops attacking from the east of Qianjia Town, and give me to beat them out."

Nakamura Zhenxiong immediately shouted at a devil staff officer.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The devil's staff officer immediately replied, and then immediately went out and transferred the more than 1,900 reserves under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong to a brigade of about 1,000 people and killed them in the direction of the east of Qianjia Town.

After the devil staff officer ran out to transfer the reserve to support the devil defenders in the east, Kita Taijiro, who was standing in Nakamura Zhenxiong on the side, said hurriedly: "Division commander, the situation is not good. ”。

"Have we asked His Excellency the Commander for tactical guidance? Our casualties are increasing so fast! ”
