Chapter 466: Capture the Bell Tower!
"Your Excellency the division commander, the west gate has been broken by the enemy army who are sneaking up. At this time, the enemy army advanced along West Avenue to attack in depth in the city, and was almost reaching the bell tower on West Street. Ximen's 3rd Infantry Brigade suffered heavy casualties, and the captain Kotaro Kurata asked for reinforcements! ”。
At this time, he had already heard the sound of gunfire in the direction of Xicheng, and before he could rush back, Ryosuke Kotani had already gotten up from the warm quilt and rushed to the command room of the division headquarters.
Just when he was confused, the old devil rushed back and reported to Ryosuke Takuya about the enemy attack on Datong.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Looking at the huge topographic map of the city placed by the headquarters, and seeing that the other party was about to kill near the bell tower, Ryosuke Yasuke was also angry in shock.
"Which squadron attacked Datong?" Ryosuke Sutani asked the chief of staff, Tsutsumi Buki Daisa, his expression was solemn, and the sound of guns and cannons came to the ears of Ryosuke Suke, realizing that the squadron attacking Datong at night was bound to be a regular army, not an armed force from the enemy area that was generally harassing the city.
Di Bujia Gui Da Zuo Dun replied in a deep voice: "Report to the division commander, it is a unit of the Eighth Route Army, and our soldiers see that the soldiers of the other party's night attack are wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and our soldiers can easily recognize them. It's not the Jin Sui Army, and it's not the regular army of the National Army! ”。
"Nani? Tu Balu troops? Dare to attack Datong City, which is heavily garrisoned by the Imperial Army? Ryosuke almost sneered, but at this moment, the fierce gunfire swallowed back the laughter that was about to laugh in the old devil's rage.
Hearing the so-called night attack of the Eighth Route Army, Ryosuke Takuya was extremely contemptuous at the first time, but his ears continued to hear the sound of gunfire in the battle, which made Ryosuke Suke's expression gradually worsen.
"Yaga, immediately order the commander of the 40th Wing, Yoshio Nagano, to command all units to reinforce the 3rd Infantry Brigade in Ximen! Ordered the rest of the city gates to strengthen the defense, once the Chinese army attacked the city from the south and north and the east city, it must be resisted, and there is no need to attack for the time being. Let's see how it goes! Night fighting is not the strong point of the warriors of the imperial army of our 10th Division, defending the city and waiting for the opportunity to move. Ryosuke sat down on the main seat of the headquarters safely, looked at the map of Datong, and then ordered the chief of staff of the division.
Di Bujia Gui immediately paused his head and responded in a sonorous voice: "Ha Yi, Your Excellency the division commander!" ”。
A series of orders were conveyed, and the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was silent in the dark night, suddenly moved around with various Japanese staff officers, and the telephones rang and the voices of speech came and went, a scene from the time of the fierce battle.
Soon, Yoshio Nagano, the commander of the 10th Wing of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army in the city, received an order from the division headquarters.
At this time, the commander of the 40th Wing of the devil, Yoshio Nagano Osa, also received a report from the Japanese soldiers sent by Kotaro Kurata to the wing headquarters under the command of the 3rd Infantry Brigade Captain Kurataro, who guarded the west gate of Datong.
"Order the infantry squadron directly under the wing headquarters to gallop to the bell tower for reinforcements, and order the rest of the city gates to strictly guard the city walls and city gates and strengthen their vigilance." Yoshio Nagano quickly made a decision and gave direct orders to several Japanese staff officers.
Several Japanese staff officers of the wing headquarters responded one after another, "Ha Yi, Your Excellency Dazuo!" ”。
At this time, the sound of guns and cannons in the fierce battle was gradually coming to the depth of the city, and the old devil Nagano Yoshio knew that the enemy army attacking Datong at night might not be an ordinary squadron, and the offensive was too fierce.
At this time, the chief of staff of the wing, Fujishima Issari, pricked up his ears and listened, his face changed in an instant, and he walked quickly to Yoshio Nagano and said urgently, "Not good, Your Excellency Osa." There was a loud roar of mortars in the direction of the bell tower and then a loud explosion, and we did not have mortars in the hands of the 3rd Infantry Brigade in the direction of the West Gate, and most of them were maintained and preserved in the arsenal, which was only fired by the squadron that attacked Datong at night. The situation is not good, and artillery support must be dropped. ”。
As soon as Fujishima Issei finished eagerly, Yoshio Nagano also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and his face changed greatly.
"Baga Ya Road! The Chinese army that attacked Datong at night seemed to be prepared, and the artillery fire that shelled the defense line of the bell tower seemed to be very fierce. Kurata Kotaro I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it, Fujishima-kun, you immediately transfer the Type 92 infantry guns from the arsenal, and at least two of them rush to the bell tower to support. The bell tower cannot be lost, and if it is lost, the enemy will be in trouble if it attacks the division headquarters in one go! Yoshio Nagano ordered loudly, the matter was urgent, and the old devil was also in a hurry.
Fujishima Issei didn't talk nonsense, Ha Yi rushed to pick up the phone of the wing headquarters, and directly called the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns in the arsenal to go out of the warehouse to the bell tower in the direction of Xicheng for reinforcements.
It's just that at this time, when Yoshio Nagano and other senior commanders of the devils deployed troops to reinforce Xicheng, the battle of the bell tower was gradually coming to an end.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Mortar shells with a long majestic, whistling across the dark night sky, and then smashed into the bell tower wall in an instant, and the Japanese soldiers who were blocking the attack on the head of the city were crying for their fathers and mothers. Among them, many Japanese soldiers were blown down from the bell tower on the spot and fell to their deaths on the spot.
Light machine guns and rifles from both sides fired at each other, hitting the bell tower and the surrounding buildings in flames, and the flames of battle burned everywhere. The flames caused by the explosion also illuminated the area around the bell tower, and the two sides fought fiercely between the various buildings of the bell tower, and the fighting was very fierce at one point.
"Da Da Da !!!!!"
Dense bullets poured out, Zhang Dabiao saw that the remnants of the Japanese army in the bell tower were almost eaten, waved his hand and signaled the troops to start a fierce attack, shooting out all the submachine guns and light and heavy machine gun fire, and suppressing the machine gun fire of the remnants of the Japanese army under Kurata Kotaro, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 40th Wing of the Japanese Army.
"Brothers, go on, take down the bell tower for Lao Tzu! One company, two companies are outflanked left and right, three companies, you fucking give it to me! The little devil was stunned and rushed forward! "The street battle in the bell tower, Zhang Dabiao shouted so loudly that his throat was smoking.
The rest of the battalion were extremely excited, and as soon as they heard Zhang Dabiao's shout, the shouts of killing spread in the direction of the remnants of the Japanese army.
On the head of the bell tower, the bricks and stones were shattered, and the ground of the city was full of stumps and broken arms of the Japanese army, and the battle was so tragic that you can imagine it.
"Silky silk!" In the corner of the bell tower, the captain of the third infantry brigade of the devil, Kurata Kotaro, who commanded the remnants of the Japanese army to resist stubbornly, was on the left foot, and a wooden-handled grenade was sizzling with smoke, and by the time Kurata Kotaro heard the sound at his feet, it was already too late.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the flesh and blood of Kotaro Kurata were directly blown up, and he was killed on the spot.
With the death of Kurata Kotaro, the remnants of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese army, which had no leader, were temporarily defeated, and the bell tower, the commanding height on Xicheng Street, was quickly captured by Zhang Dabiao's troops.
