"Why are you in a hurry? Wait, you didn't see us discussing it."

"Da Biao, hold your strength, you will definitely win this battle."

Li Yunlong stared at Zhang Dabiao and said.

Zhang Dabiao chuckled and stood aside without speaking.

After some discussion, Lu Ming, as the chief of staff, formally issued the combat order.

The main attack direction is placed directly on the east side of Yangcheng!

Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion served as the main attacker, and he was a luxurious artillery support unit.

The First Battalion of Wang Chengzhu Artillery and the Third Battalion of Tang Jingchun Artillery supported the operation with a total of sixteen artillery pieces.

These are all French artillery, eight large-caliber cannons.

Secondly, on the west side of Yangcheng, the 2nd Battalion of Shenquan served as an assist, and the 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion assisted them in the battle.

On the north side of Yangcheng, Wang Huaibao's third battalion served as an assist, and the second artillery battalion assisted in the operation.

The armored vehicle battalion is deployed on the south side of Yangcheng, and the cavalry battalion serves as a reserve force.

"Chen Quan, Wang Huaibao, although you are assisting, you can still be the main attacker."

"Let me tell you, as long as Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion fails to fight, the artillery to support them will be transferred to you at any time!"

"At that time, you will be the main attacker!"

After Lu Ming completed the deployment, Li Yunlong spoke directly.

"Yes, detachment leader." Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao replied with joy on their faces.

All departments began preparations at 11:30 p.m.!

On the west side of Yangcheng, the two artillery battalions deployed on the north side began to launch shelling.

Twenty-four 75MM mountain guns carried out shelling one after another.

At the same time, the second and third battalions attacked one after another.

Dense artillery shells were fired towards Yangcheng one after another, and deafening explosions continued to sound.

Kato Shigeichi quickly received the report from the front line, and he immediately adjusted his deployment.

More than a thousand cavalry were quickly mobilized to the west and north for defense, and the cavalry artillery regiment also began to counterattack.

The artillery fire from both sides continued. At this time, the main force of the 4th Cavalry Brigade was gradually attracted to the west and north sides.

And their east side is the weak point of defense.

At the same time, Kato Shigeichi immediately generated electricity and quickly contacted the Wakamatsu detachment and the 33rd Division.

But at this time, the First Army, which was responsible for commanding the besieging Lishan garrison, began to intervene.

After Yoshio Shinozuka learned about the situation, he immediately generated electricity!

He did not dispatch the nearest Wakamatsu detachment, but dispatched the 33rd Division to support it.

In Yoshio Shinozuka's view, the other party was not the main force.

If the Wakamatsu detachment leaves Tianchi Mountain, the Lishan garrison will most likely take the opportunity to break out from the north.

At the same time, he also began to contact the right echelon, the 41st Division, and asked them to launch combat operations and cooperate with them.

After Kato Shigeichi got the news, he was dissatisfied.

Of course, faced with Yoshio Shinozuka's arrangements, he was dissatisfied and had nothing to do.

After all, the Wakamatsu detachment will not obey his arrangements, but will execute Shinozuka Yoshio's orders.

Twelve o'clock in the evening!

There was no movement from the Wakamatsu detachment, but the 33rd Division from Wangwu Town quickly dispatched.

After the reconnaissance team learned about the situation, Lu Ming and others were very surprised.

However, they reacted quickly. Chu Yunfei led his main force and hurriedly advanced towards the area south of Yangcheng.

It was at this time that the main offensive force, which had not taken action for a long time, began to receive combat orders.

Twelve 75MM French field guns, four 85MM field guns, and four 105MM field guns shelled one after another.

Dense artillery shells concentrated on the city wall on the east side of Yangcheng. As the dense artillery shells were fired one after another, gaps appeared in the city wall.

Under the command of Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion troops advanced almost on the impact point.

At this time, the main force of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was entirely on the west and north sides. The attack on the east side completely caught them off guard.

Moreover, the little devils had no idea that the opponent would be able to create a gap in a short period of time!

"Hurry up, hurry up and rush in."

"Hurry, our first battalion must be the first to enter the city!"

"When we get to the city, we don't have any arrangements. We just keep fighting and kill the little devils when we see them."

Here on the east side of Yangcheng, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, held a broadsword in his right hand and a shell gun in his left hand. He stared and shouted.

He was at the front of the team. Upon hearing Zhang Dabiao's order, the soldiers of the first battalion charged towards the city one by one, screaming.

There are not many defensive forces here. Faced with the attack of the first battalion, the little Japanese were instantly defeated.

A large number of soldiers followed the gap and came into the city, and the artillery began to extend the bombardment.

The first battalion's machine gun company advanced rapidly, and heavy machine guns, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery began to provide fire cover for the soldiers at close range.

Fierce gunfire sound continued to appear here on the east side, but gradually it became quiet.

The more than a hundred little Japs stationed here were completely wiped out, and the soldiers of the first battalion began to accelerate their advance.

In the headquarters of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, brigade commander Shigeichi Kato slumped in his chair after receiving the report.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we, we need to fight back quickly and drive them out."

"At the same time, we need to contact the military headquarters. This must be their main force. Dozens of artillery are all participating in the battle. They are planning to break out from Yangcheng."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please issue the order quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

The chief of staff stood in front of Kato Shigeichi and made hurried suggestions.

The communications soldier on the side quickly sent a message to Yoshio Shinozuka and hurriedly reported the situation here.

Kato Shigeru's eyes were red and he clenched his hands into fists!

He mobilized a thousand troops in one breath and quickly launched a counterattack towards the first battalion.

At this time, there were almost no security forces near his brigade headquarters.

As for the defense force on the west side of Yangcheng and the north side facing the attack, there are only four to five hundred people on average.

As for the south side, there are no troops to defend it.

"The cavalry artillery regiment quickly fired artillery shells towards the east side, and then quickly moved towards the south side."

"Chief of Staff, you lead the cavalry artillery regiment to break out from the south."

"I led the troops to defend and attract their attention."

Kato Shigeichi had a serious expression on his face, and he immediately issued the order.
Chapter completed!
