Li Hong changed a large number of weapons, equipment and ammunition, and the merit value and merit coupons were basically spent.

These weapons and equipment are the most advanced in World War II, and with these weapons and equipment, they can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the security regiment.

After a while, the battalions and companies reported the wounded.

"The first battalion lost 136 killed and 47 wounded."

"The second battalion lost 118 killed and 38 wounded."

"The third battalion lost 107 killed and 33 wounded."

"The cavalry battalion lost 63 killed and 24 wounded."

"The 321st Battalion of the 321st Regiment and the Jin Sui Army lost a total of 283 killed and 127 wounded."

……

After this battle, the little devils suffered more than 2,800 casualties, and all the soldiers defending the city suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

Although the casualties of the little devils were several times that of the soldiers defending the city, the total number of Li Hong's remaining troops that could fight was barely 1,000, and he couldn't afford to spend it with the little devils.

If the soldiers of the security regiment continue to hold on to the city gate, the troops will be too scattered and the defense will become weaker, and it is easy to be broken by the devil troops, and the city will be broken sooner or later.

The weapons and ammunition of the security regiment were replenished, but there were no reinforcements, so Li Hong decided to redeploy the troops and defense line and change the defensive tactics of Zhuang County.

Li Hong roughly estimated the number of enemy fighters, the enemy's fresh force should have at least one wing, plus other troops that can fight, there should be about 4,500-5,000 people.

After carefully analyzing the strength of the enemy and us, Li Hong took the initiative to give up defending the city gate and prepared to put the little devils in to fight in the streets.

If you fight with the enemy in the streets, the armored vehicles and tanks and cannons of the little devils will not be able to show their advantages at all, on the contrary, many soldiers of the security regiment are familiar with the terrain and structure of Zhuang County, and all of them are basically equipped with submachine guns.

"Herald, herald!"

Li Hong shouted several times in a row around him, but there was no response from the heralds.

Soon, he also remembered that his two heralds had been shot and died in the battle just now.

Hearing the loud voice of the regimental seat, Feng Biao, the commander of the guard platoon, ran over quickly.

"Danza, what's the instructions?"

"Feng Biao, the communication of all ministries has been cut off, you hurry up and pass on Lao Tzu's order, let everyone withdraw from the city gate fortifications, gather the archway in the central street, and we will fight with the little devils in the streets!"

"Yes, Tuanza!"

"The first and second classes will leave the protection group seat, and the third class will follow me!"

Feng Biao took a squad of soldiers and quickly ran down the road to the city, and then the soldiers scattered and ran to inform the battalions and companies.

After the battalions were notified to withdraw and fight in the streets, more than 1,000 soldiers on guard immediately withdrew from the fortifications at the head of the city, and the soldiers carried the wounded and carried ammunition and supplies, and ran along the streets and alleys to assemble in the central street.

Ten minutes later, everyone rushed to the central street.

On the side of the street, dozens of large boxes were piled up, all filled with weapons and ammunition.

"Quick, go up and replace the guns if they fail, and go up and replenish the ammunition if they don't have them!"

The soldiers replenished their weapons and ammunition and began to become proficient in how to use and operate the new equipment.

At present, some of the platoon formations of the security regiment have been broken up, and some platoons have less than 10 people left, and the troops lack a commanding officer, and once they fight, they cannot unify their command.

Li Hong discussed with several battalion commanders under his command for a while, reduced the number of disabled companies and platoons, redeployed troops to enrich the battalions, and even the guard platoon and cooking squad were assigned to the combat company.

The security regiment barely made up 3 infantry battalions, 8 companies, a total of more than 700 people, and the cavalry battalion suffered small casualties, and there were more than 200 people, and there was no mobilization in troops.

"The first battalion guards the south street, the second battalion guards the north street, and the third battalion and the cavalry battalion guard the center street." After Li Hong gave orders to several battalions of the security regiment, he continued: "By the way, the 321st Regiment and the Jinsui Military Department went door-to-door to inform the civilians who had not been evacuated to evacuate quickly, and if the civilians refused to leave, forcibly take them away!" ”

Receiving the order, the soldiers of the battalions and companies quickly dispersed and quickly rushed to their respective guard points to establish fortifications.

Now, there are no troops to mobilize around Li Hong, and the guard platoon is withdrawn, leaving a commando team of dozens of people.

Subsequently, he took the assault team to the tallest ancient building in the county.

The ancient building has a nice name called Dengyun Tower, which is an ancient building in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of several hundred years.

There are four floors up and down Dengyun Tower, about ten meters high, it is one of several tall buildings in Zhuang County, and it is also a landmark building.

"Tom Tom"

"Boom Boom"

Not long after, the little devil's artillery began to bombard the gates of Zhuang County fiercely.

The originally dilapidated city wall became crumbling under the continuous artillery fire, the walls of the city wall collapsed in many places, large areas of masonry splashed, and layers of gunpowder smoke became thick.

Fortunately, Li Hong let the soldiers withdraw, otherwise, after this continuous artillery fire, at least hundreds of soldiers would have been killed or wounded.

After the shelling, the little devil infantry charged.

"Duck and chicken!"

"Imperial warriors, rush!"

The little devils moved and attacked in a tactical formation, surging like a tide, more than a dozen armored vehicles and tanks opened the way in front, and the little devils divided their troops to attack several city gates in Zhuang County.

The little devil is worthy of being an inhuman dog offal, the armored tank was brutally crushed from the corpse of the devil, the enemy treated his own people so cruelly, and it was definitely a brutal killing against civilians after the city was broken.

When the enemy attacked, the artillery battalion of the security regiment was of course not polite, and more than a dozen artillery pieces flew out in a continuous salvo.

"Hurricane Hurricane"

The screech of a cannonball about to land reached the devil's front.

I saw that one after another the shells exploded on the way of the devil's charge, more than 100 little devils fell to the ground screaming, several armored vehicles were also destroyed by the shells, and flames burned on the steel wreckage.

Hit by artillery fire, the little devil hurriedly avoided the bombing point, and then continued to pick up his weapons and charge forward.

Although the artillery fire of the artillery battalion of the security regiment was not small, it could not stop the little devil from moving forward. The artillery fired several salvos, and in order to avoid exposing the artillery positions, the artillery battalion commander Zheng Tietou gave the order to stop the shelling.

The devil tanks and armored vehicles in front of them advanced quickly, and after a while, they rushed to the city gate, and several tanks fired directly at the city gate.

After a few shells, the city gate, which was several meters high, collapsed, and the tank group ran through several shallow trenches outside the city, and drove straight into the city gate.

"Duck and chicken!" The devil commander raised the command knife in his hand.

The little devil infantry who followed behind the tank broke into Zhuangxian County from several city gates, and some of the little devils climbed directly from the broken and collapsed city wall to the city tower, and quickly occupied the city wall fortifications.
