PFC Chapter 263: Laiyuan Battle 4
Chapter 263: Laiyuan Battle 4
With both walls lost, Wu Xinchunyi could no longer sit still and shouted towards the river: "Baga, how long will it take for the Kurokawa Regiment to arrive?"
Hebian looked at the time and said, "Your Excellency, Captain, there are still ten minutes."
"Let all the teams defend the streets and hold on until the reinforcements arrive." Wu Xinchun said this and stormed out of the command center.
The Chinese entered the city, and the command center was no longer safe, so he had to move.
Kawabe Sanzo knew what the regiment commander meant, and immediately ordered the Japanese regiment headquarters to pack up and evacuate.
Da da da!
Bursts of gunfire sounded as if they were funerals for the Japanese as the 13th Battalion from the West City and the 5th and 6th Battalion from the North City advanced rapidly.
The Japanese captain at the South Gate received a call for help and began to send troops to support. Seeing this, Luo Xiong immediately gave the order to charge, turning the diversion into a strong attack.
Outside the East City Gate.
Ji Guangshun breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news and said with a smile: "Laiyuan has been captured. Now it depends on how much time we can buy."
He knew very well that the Japanese's target was the East City Gate, and it felt like they were bullying the weak.
"Haha, as long as we break into the city gate, with the combat effectiveness of Gu Changfeng's troops, we can hold out for an hour."
"Besides, the boss's support is on the way, so what's there to be afraid of?"
The two city gates were broken one after another. Chen Zhengrong was in a good mood at this time. He was now wishing that more Japanese soldiers would come.
Just as he finished speaking, the signalman came over and said:
"Two regimental commanders, division headquarters has sent a telegram: a battalion of military police and over a thousand puppet troops from Lingqiu City are on their way, and they are still twenty kilometers away from Laiyuan."
"Damn it, this is what you think."
Chen Zhengrong was dumbfounded. He had just been hoping for more support from the Japanese, and finally he got what he expected.
"Damn it! The devils are trying to start a war! There are so many devils and puppet troops here! They think too highly of us!"
Ji Guangshun's scalp was numb.
From the beginning of the war to now, the number of Japanese troops deployed has increased from more than 6000 to more than , and this trend is still increasing.
Chen Zhengrong looked up at the sky and said, "Old Ji, it's not that the Japanese think highly of us, it's that Gu Changfeng's troops make them feel threatened."
"Also, we forgot one thing. There is a Japanese airport near Taiyuan City."
"The Japs are taking this matter so seriously, they're likely to send out planes to bomb them."
"Damn it! This war can't be fought any longer."
Ji Guangshun's scalp not only felt numb, but even his heart began to beat violently. It was really...
"Pass the message to Gu Changfeng and see if he has any trump cards. If not, we really need to buy time to evacuate."
Chen Zhengrong said worriedly.
Ji Guangshun nodded. The sky was gradually getting brighter. If the Japanese planes were to take off, they would arrive soon. They really had to hurry.
Rumble!
The Japanese Kurokawa Regiment arrived and started by bullying the Eighth Route Army because they had few artillery pieces.
"These Eighth Route Army soldiers dare to stop the Imperial Army. They are really overestimating their own abilities." Major General Kurokawa said disdainfully.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we've received news from the city that the Wuxin Regiment can no longer hold on. We are asked to provide support quickly."
Major General Kurokawa was not happy for long before he received such disappointing news and immediately flew into a rage:
"Baga, they are all parasites of the empire, trash, they can't even resist in such a short time."
In less than two hours, Laiyuan was lost. Even in the neighborhood, they couldn't win. This news made Heichuan very angry.
He had received news of the city's fall before, but street fighting was not a problem for the imperial warriors, and there was no time when they could not resist.
"Have the Yelian team hurry up and send a message to Captain Wuxinlian in the city, asking him to hold on for an hour."
"If he can't hold on, let him commit seppuku!"
Major General Kurokawa, who originally wanted to play with the Eighth Route Army, was no longer in the mood because his teammates were too useless.
He wanted to go earlier, but he couldn't fly over with his soldiers.
Even a pig would take half an hour to kill at the front blocking position, let alone a human.
When Major General Kurokawa's telegram reached the city, Wu Xinjun collapsed. With the news he received, it would be difficult for him to survive for even half an hour, let alone an hour.
But no one cared what he thought at this time. There was a fierce battle going on outside, and no one had time to care about the mood of him as the captain of the regiment.
Boom boom boom!
There was continuous artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army's blocking position. The Japanese artillery regiment, upon receiving the order, added a few more mountain cannons.
Ji Guangshun turned his head to look in the direction of the blocking position and said to Chen Zhengrong:
"Old Chen, I leave this to you. Don't let the devils in the city come out, otherwise we will be in real trouble."
After saying that, he turned around and led his men to run towards the rear position, which was not far away, only about five kilometers away.
The Third Regiment had more than 2500 soldiers. After a replenishment of equipment, although they suffered heavy casualties, they were still able to barely resist.
Five minutes later, the bombardment ended.
At the command of the Japanese squadron leader, "Kill the chickens!", a squadron of Japanese soldiers began to charge towards the Eighth Route Army's position.
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Bullets flew, artillery shells roared, and people from both sides kept falling on the battlefield.
inside the city,
The two teams of Gu Changfeng and Huang Zhengkui had cleared the Japanese from the streets. After leaving the soldiers defending the city, they advanced to the south and east of the city respectively.
Both sides were racing against time. Gu Changfeng was very clear that if the devils at Dongmen were not captured, the Eighth Route Army would be in great danger, and this was something he could not allow.
He brought people out to share the spoils, but ended up causing heavy casualties. He can't afford to lose face.
"Reporting to Commander Gu, the Eighth Route Army has received news that more than a thousand military police and more than a thousand puppet troops from Lingqiu City are on their way and will arrive in 20 kilometers."
"They also told us to be wary of Japanese planes and to break out in time if we weren't prepared."
After hearing the signalman's report, Gu Changfeng nodded and said:
"Let them hold off the Japanese for half an hour. I'll take over East City first and they'll be safe."
"Yes." The signalman agreed and turned to send a telegram.
Gu Changfeng did not mention the anti-aircraft machine guns. Since they were attacking Laiyuan, how could he not be on guard against the Japanese planes? He still had thirteen anti-aircraft machine guns hidden.
When Jinling City was evacuated, the anti-aircraft machine guns still had a lot of bullets and did not need to be replenished, so they would be used now.
South Gate,
As Huang Zhengkui led his team to the scene, the Japanese defense line, which was about to collapse, was completely broken.
The Japanese captain had already sent out a squadron, and combined with the previous attacks from the fifth and seventh battalions, they lost hundreds of soldiers.
At this time, their troops were less than 500. Faced with dense bullets and artillery fire, the Japanese captain felt that he was powerless to turn the situation around.
As time went by, the number of soldiers around him became fewer and fewer. The Japanese captain became desperate and shouted at his Japanese subordinates:
"Warriors, the time has come to serve the Emperor. Kill the chickens!"
At the roar of the Japanese captain, more than 200 Japanese soldiers launched a desperate charge towards Huang Zhengkui on the street.
Only Gu Changfeng could force the Japanese to this point.
It was all thanks to snipers and various long-range weapons. Otherwise, with the Japanese's marksmanship, it would be impossible for them to do this, at least they would be able to do it if they fought desperately.
It's really that you can hit me, but I can't hit you. That feeling is too uncomfortable.
The Japanese captain knew very well that continuing would only mean waiting for death.
The Japanese began to charge, and the soldiers in the front row immediately retreated, revealing seven or eight Type 92 heavy machine guns and more than twenty grenade launchers.
Da da da!
Boom boom boom!
Huang Zhengkui is not stupid. The M60 must be used in conjunction with the Type 92 to minimize losses.
If he hadn't run out of M60s and bullets, he definitely wouldn't even bother using the Type 92, which was really useless.
