Chapter 144 Bloody Battle Fujing City IV
When Li Tieshu and his friends just retreated to the Xicheng Gate, the first brigade of the 40th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese happened to reinforce outside the Xicheng Gate. They joined a squadron of the Third brigade and completely cut off the breakthrough road of the spy company.
When the news came from the Japanese reinforcements, Xie Pingyang couldn't help but feel cold on his back. The only road that could break through smoothly was blocked. It seemed that they could only find another way, or hold on to the death until they all died in Fujingxicheng Gate.
Xie Pingyang thought that if the retreat in the city was blocked, then they could only use their lives to resist the Japanese in the narrow place of the Xicheng Gate. He immediately sent someone to send an order to Li Tieshu, ordering him to lead three rows to occupy the city gate.
The main street inside blocked the attack, and the Japanese would not be allowed to encircle all the spy companies in front of and behind the city gate.
When Li Tieshu received the news, he was also shocked and worried. He immediately asked the soldiers of the third platoon to stop retreating, turned around and occupied the main street intersection leading to the Xichengmen. He also sent five commandos, Wang Shengqiang and others, to search for the sides behind him.
Retreat route.
Li Tieshu's decision happened to think of a place with Xie Pingyang. Wang Shengqiang and the others had just turned around and prepared to set off. Ma Tianhua outside the city gate ran in with the commando team. They also received the order of Xie Pingyang to find a breakout route. The commando team merged again.
After one place, it was quickly divided into two parts, led by Ma Tianhua and Wang Shengqiang, and searched for a breakout route between the city gate residential houses on both sides.
In fact, the direction where Xie Pingyang and the others can break through is Fujing's South City Gate. Nagano Yoshio encircled Fujing's three brigades on three sides. Although there are Japanese in the South City Gate now, there are only Japanese in a squadron.
Forces, this is still a chance for the spy company to break through.
The commando is now looking for two directions in the southeast because they don’t know which direction will be without Japanese devils, but they are very clear about this in both directions in the northwest.
Ma Tianhua and Wang Shengqiang had just led the commando away. Most of the third brigade of Gujie, who was chasing from the north, appeared in Li Tieshu's sight.
Kusuke Nagashima ordered the mortar to blast at Li Tieshu and his friends' defense, and ordered the squadron responsible for the attack to advance again. However, he did not encounter any blockade. When the Japanese squadron leader led his men, he advanced carefully.
When we arrived at the place where Li Tieshu and the others stayed, we were completely sure that the Chinese had escaped.
Kusuke Nagashima was very angry. They did not find the footprints of the Chinese army's escape, but how did they retreat from their eyes? Although they were very confused, Kusuke Nagashima did not stop and ordered the remaining two squadrons and brigades.
The troops advanced in unison and advanced towards the west gate.
Because Kusuke Nagashima and his team were delaying the blocking position for a long time, Li Tieshu and his team had the chance to resuscitate the blocking position again. However, when Kusuke Nagashima discovered that the Chinese army appeared again in front of him, he immediately ordered the force to force him.
The guns were set up and bombarded the blocking position that Li Tieshu and the others had just formed.
When Li Tieshu and the soldiers in the second platoon were under fire from Gu Jie of Changdao, Xie Pingyang and Liu Wenxue on the outside of the city gate were also in trouble. They were attacked by the superior forces of the Japanese soldiers from a squadron. The same as the Japanese soldiers' first squadron
The captain of the brigade, Master Kawashima, first ordered the Japanese to launch artillery bombardment positions outside the city gate.
The spy without heavy weapons can passively be bombed and there is no time to build a solid fortification, so in simple fortifications, many soldiers were killed and injured by the bombing because they could not hide.
Although the explosion power of the mortar is small in all guns, it is hard to say if the shells they use are replaced with other shells instead of ordinary shells. The First Japanese Battalion is equipped with a high-explosive shell, and
The reason why they are equipped with this kind of shell is because Japanese local military-industrial enterprises have just developed it, and the First Battalion is only used as a test unit.
Although it was just an experimental shell, its explosion was much more powerful than ordinary shells. The first brigade of Japanese bombers fired four or five shells, which had blown Xie Pingyang and his team up without recognizing the situation.
The sandbag in front of the formation, a shell like this, would blow up several sandbags and lift them into the sky.
Such fierce artillery fire was about to catch up with the field artillery that Xie Pingyang had seen. In desperation, Xie Pingyang ordered the first and third rows to retreat and retreat into the city gate. Relying on the narrowness and limitations of the city gate, the Japanese did not balance the
A mortar capable of using a curved shot.
After retreating into the city gate, Xie Pingyang ordered Chai Yunci's row to occupy the direction of the exit of the city gate hole, forming a confrontation with the Japanese in the city gate hole to block his attack. Chai Yunci's row had just established a position, and the Japanese were suppressing them.
However, the narrowness and limitations of the city gate hole made not many people able to rush in. In this way, the Japanese and spy companies formed such a situation again.
Now, except for the commando, everyone else in the secret service company was surrounded by the Japanese in the West City Gate. The Japanese have begun to give up artillery attacks and attack. Since the troops cannot be deployed in the city gate, Xie Pingyang will take three rows of troops.
The soldiers arranged to go to Li Tieshu and others to block the third brigade of Kusuke Nagashima.
Kusuke Nagashima used the tactics of two squadrons entering the city to attack the spy company. Hundreds of Japanese devils were deployed on a street, and the soldiers of the spy company didn't need to be careful to aim at it, and they just fired a shot.
It is very likely that he can fight a Japanese devil.
However, the soldiers of fifty or sixty spy companies could not stop the Japanese from advancing, and the number of Japanese soldiers was too large. Seeing the Japanese advance dozens of meters to the intersection, Li Tieshu ordered again
Use grenades. However, after the grenade exploded, the Japanese did not stop attacking, but stood up and continued to attack.
Seeing the current situation, Xie Pingyang had never stopped in the city gate behind him. This shows that the attack of the Japanese outside the city used the same war of attrition, which was what Xie Pingyang believed that the spy company could not hold on any longer.
reason.
Just when Xie Pingyang thought that it was necessary to break through in other directions, someone from the commando team that was divided into two parts to find the direction of breaking out came back. Ma Tianhua, who was heading east to reconnaissance, sent someone back and told Xie Pingyang that there was also direction in the east of the city.
The Japanese surrounded him, but there were only a few hundred people and a squadron.
After obtaining this situation, Xie Pingyang immediately ordered to alternate covers and retreat to the east of the city. After Li Tieshu received the order, he proposed to lead the second line again. However, he did not get Xie Pingyang's consent.
Xie Pingyang believed that after two blockings, the second platoon had suffered all casualties and had lost the ability to cut off the rear. Therefore, Xie Pingyang asked Li Tieshu to lead the second platoon to retreat east immediately, and Geng Xincheng's third platoon was responsible for the cut off the rear on their side.
Afterwards, Xie Pingyang also ordered Chai Yunci's row to retreat into the city to establish a blockade at the gate of the city, waiting to retreat with Geng Xincheng's three rows.
This time, Li Tieshu was ordered to retreat in person by Xie Pingyang, so he had to take less than twenty soldiers left in the second platoon and retreat to the east gate of the city by commandos.
After receiving Xie Pingyang's order, Chai Yunci immediately ordered the first row of soldiers to retreat into the city gate and establish a blocking position on the inside of the city gate. While Li Tieshu evacuated, Liu Wenxue was also ordered by Xie Pingyang to join the second row.
They retreated. After they withdrew, Xie Pingyang immediately ordered Geng Xincheng's three rows to retreat to the west gate to meet Chai Yunci's first row.
While fighting and retreating, the two platoons of soldiers met at the Xicheng Gate and did not stop and immediately retreated to the east of the city under Xie Pingyang.
However, the Japanese behind them got stuck, and the Japanese from the Third Battalion of Kusuke Nagashima finally all joined together in Xicheng. The forces of the two brigades had a brief conflict over who would pursue the spy company first.
When the two brigades met in the West Gate, Kusuke Nagashima thought he was the first to attack Fujingcheng, and of course, the pursuit of the encirclement and suppression of the spy company should be the third brigade. However, Kawashima no thinks so.
He felt that the First Battalion was ordered to intercept the spy company at the Xicheng Gate, and now the pursuit from the Xicheng Gate should of course be the First Battalion responsible for it.
The two Japanese captains stood under the west city gate and argued endlessly to get the power of the remaining spy companies to pursue the remnants of spy companies. In this way, they not only gave the spy companies the opportunity to retreat, but also what they did not find was that they were not far behind them.
Above the city wall, several figures were quietly following the city wall and approaching the top of Kusuke Nagashima and Kawashima No.
These people were commandos led by Wang Shengqiang, who was sent to the south to reconnaise. They found most of the Japanese at the south gate of the city and returned immediately. However, when they reached the west gate, they saw the spy company from afar
The last row of retreating, but the Japanese immediately occupied the Xicheng Gate.
Just when Wang Shengqiang was struggling to meet with the spy company from other directions or to directly cross the middle of the devils, something that made him happy happened. Two Japanese officers wearing the rank of Grandmaster were actually under the city gate.
The argument started. Moreover, it seemed that the quarrel was very strong and no one was giving in.
Wang Shengqiang didn't know that these two Japanese masters were arguing about getting the remaining forces of the pursuit of the spy company. However, he immediately discovered the fighter plane, led several commandos to climb up the broken city wall, and secretly went to Kusuke Nagashima.
Kawashima No touched over his head.
The city wall of Fujing was actually dilapidated, so Wang Shengqiang and his friends were able to easily be discovered. However, the dispute between the two captains of Kusuke Nagashima and Kawashima No made all the attention of the two teams of Japanese devils focus on
This provided a good cover for Wang Shengqiang and his commando team on both of them.
Wang Shengqiang and his group had eight commandos, slowly approaching the rugged and obstacle-ridden city walls above Kusuke Nagashima and Kawashima No. Just as Wang Shengqiang took out his grenade and was about to throw it, a commandos behind him were
