The battle in Heyuan County started earlier than Han Feng expected, and the little devil seemed to be afraid that Han Feng would run away with the new third regiment, and at six o'clock in the morning of the same day, the so-called mechanized troops, more than 30 trucks, carrying two squadrons of troops and a large number of heavy artillery, marched towards Heyuan County.

The battle officially started at half past six, the gunfire had just broken out, the two sides did not seem to have the slightest temptation, the two squadrons of the Japanese army actually set up three mortar positions, each mortar position two 92 infantry guns, plus a 96 type 150mm medium mortar bombardment together, dozens of grenadiers placed in different directions, almost to the main gate of the county town caused an all-round blow without dead ends, under the repeated shell bombardment, the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire city tower, and the corner of the brick and tile structure of the city tower was directly blown to pieces. Before many of the soldiers of the New Third Regiment could react, they were completely drowned under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army.

Han Feng, who was commanding the battle, saw that the situation was not right, the devil had made a lot of money, and he wanted to blow up the city gate directly with cannonballs! He immediately adjusted his order: "The two battalions on the city tower are temporarily withdrawn, relying on the last ring fortifications to wait for the opportunity to fight." ”

A large number of wounded have appeared, the medical platoon is not enough, the guard battalion has been pulled out, and a medical company has been temporarily expanded, Tian Yu has no time to worry about Han Feng, the regiment commander who is in command on the front line, is already in the rear of the position because of the sudden increase in wounded.

She was frightened by this, no wonder the regiment commander would rather be harsh on her than let her go to the front, it was only a long time, and hundreds of comrades were killed and wounded.

When Xie Baoqing returned, he reported that the people in the county were reluctant to leave, saying that they wanted to be with the New Third Regiment, live and die together, and guard Heyuan County together.

Han Feng, who was still in the corner of the city tower, looked back, and looked, a large number of people were emerging in the rear of the position, and it seemed that they were still approaching in the direction of the position.

"Isn't that adding to the chaos?" Han Feng had a headache, and at the same time there was an indescribable relief, the people were like this, why couldn't Heyuan County hold it!

Outside the city gate, as Han Feng expected, the devil really made up his mind to directly use cannonballs to blast the city gate open, after nearly a quarter of an hour of bombardment, the main gate of Heyuan County, a huge city gate close to three meters high, was blown open a gap of a large person, and then collapsed in the explosion.

Han Feng, who was commanding the battle, couldn't help but scold: This group of dogs, how much ammunition is there? Left in the Eighth Route Army, a brigade's firepower was gone after a few minutes, and they were distressed to death, this group of little devils, against a small Heyuan county, actually bombed indiscriminately for a whole quarter of an hour, if conditions permitted, would this group of devils still carry out air raids and bombing?

This is also too much to look up to him Han Feng.

This battle is the world's first military person here, and under the huge equipment disadvantage, I am afraid that at this moment, I can only be pressed and beaten.

Under Han Feng's order, all the soldiers were supposed to be listening to the sound, and after withdrawing from the city tower, they buried their heads behind the ring fortifications one by one, allowing the devils to bombard the city tower.

Finally, the roar of the shells gradually stopped, and as the smoke gradually dissipated, outside the city gate, the Japanese army captain Guai Nakasa, followed the first batch of mechanical departments to command, he took a telescope and looked at the top and bottom of the city tower and the collapsed county gate, and thought to himself silently.

The adjutant suggested: "Captain, the situation of the enemy in the county town is unknown, let's wait for the arrival of the Bamboo Island Wing before attacking the city!" ”

However, Gujing did not think so, he believed that under the heavy artillery fire, even if the enemy in the city was still fighting, there was not much left.

In fact, as early as when the order to capture Heyuan County was issued, Gujing thought in his heart that General Yoshio Shinozuka was making a big fuss, just a Heyuan County, that is, the Gujing Brigade, under the powerful artillery fire, it was enough to capture this county, as for the Takeshima United, it was completely redundant.

Gujing said: "The enemy has been disabled by our artillery fire, now is the best time to attack the city, once the enemy is given time to breathe, the power of the artillery fire can be wasted, pass the order down, all attack, directly capture Heyuan County." ”

The adjutant did not dare to say more, and responded: "Yes!" ”

The two squadrons under Gujing's men began to attack the city, and rushed into the county through the collapsed city gate, but just approached the city gate, they stepped on the mines planted by the soldiers of the new third regiment more than ten meters outside the city gate, and several unlucky devils were blown up in the explosion, and the remaining devils hurriedly retreated.

Gujing ordered the sappers to start demining, and the commandos who had been lurking in the mountains and forests outside the city gate for more than ten miles seized the opportunity to make a move, and the place where they were lurking was about two or three hundred steps away from the devils, and the commandos had accurate marksmanship, separated by two or three hundred steps, after Duan Peng arranged the target task, a round of sniping went down, and seven or eight sappers were directly shot down.

But he was not killed, but he was seriously injured, the regiment commander Han Feng said that on the battlefield, the veterans all know a truth, it is better to kill one than to kill three, the wounded soldiers need to be cared for, and a wounded soldier can often drag down several soldiers, which is not a very cost-effective tactic.

Gujing was startled, there were such shooting masters in the enemy, if it weren't far away, his epaulettes would not be too obvious, Gujing estimated that his head couldn't tell when he would be targeted, and he hurriedly hid in the ranks of soldiers in a cautious manner.

And just by taking this opportunity, in the city, the first and second battalions suddenly touched the city tower, stopped the empty space of the devils with the help of mines, and on the city tower, condescendingly launched an attack on the devils under the city tower, and threw grenades to cover the sky and the sun.

Gujing didn't dare to attack the city alone anymore, and the team was in full formation, waiting for the arrival of the large force of the Takeshima Wing and the remaining strength of his own brigade...... Fortunately, it was only a moment, the follow-up troops Takeshima Wing arrived, Takeshima is a war veteran, after arriving, immediately ordered, directly bombarded the minefield with shells, cleared the minefield, and then the army directly marched in, to attack the interior of Heyuan County.

As for the harassment of the mountain and forest commandos, which continued to kill the Japanese gunners, Takeshima immediately ordered the two squads to encircle and suppress the position in the direction of the mountain and forest commandos.

It's just that Takeshima is too careless, the commando team is not an ordinary team, his two squads were quickly wiped out, and the commando team saw the Japanese army entering the city, turned around and entered from the remote northwest gate of the county, and returned to the interior of Heyuan County.

The troops of the two sides launched a positional battle within a few hundred meters of the city gate in the county seat, the Japanese troops had just stepped into the city gate, more than a dozen grenadiers and two mortars in the rear of the position of the new three regiments opened fire at the same time, more than a dozen machine guns were frantically fired, and the shells that had been saved for several months were killed.

Tubalu actually has such a fierce artillery fire, this is completely unexpected by Takeshima, the current situation makes him a little headache, the enemy's commander is obviously a shrewd guy, the ring position is built behind the city gate, the two ends of the ring fortification are almost built against the city wall, from three sides to rush into the city gate of the Japanese army firepower, if the Japanese army wants to use artillery to attack, after entering the city gate, against the fire of the ring fortifications and then build an artillery position, it is obviously impossible, that can only be fired from outside the city gate, but across a city wall, The artillery could not be aimed at all, and the bombardment of the shells required a certain arc, and it was basically impossible to control the fact that they just reached the sky above the city wall, and then fell vertically to bombard the cunning enemy behind the city wall.

With the ingenuity of the fortifications, the new third regiment temporarily blocked the joint attack of the Takeshima United and the Gujing Brigade!

Time passed minute by minute, and the two old guys, Takeshima and Gujing, obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of time for them at this time, and even in Takeshima's opinion, since it was not easy to attack the city for the time being, it would be good for the soldiers who had trekked to Wucheng County overnight and the soldiers who had trekked to Heyuan County overnight to rest and rest.

As for the new three regiments in Heyuan County, Zhudao was secretly surprised, this team was more tenacious than he imagined!

And what he didn't know was that on all sides of him, the new 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, after receiving the news, sent a large number of troops to quickly reinforce in the direction of Heyuan County.

What surprised everyone even more was that the well-informed Chu Yunfei actually intervened, and the strength of a battalion came from the south of Beitong Road towards Heyuan County......
