Chapter 210: Recovering Chifeng
"The sound of gunfire is approaching, and the shouts of killing are clearly audible. We have no chance to break out now, we can only die in battle and pledge allegiance to the Empire, Your Majesty. ”
Yonekura Kotaro shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Send the report immediately, otherwise there will be no time to send the last bit of farewell telegram." ”。
Fujita Rentaro was silent when he heard this, and the shouts of killing around him were already approaching, and it should be that Li Yunlong's troops had launched a fierce attack on the core position of the Japanese brigade headquarters in the inner city.
At this time, it is indeed necessary to take emergency action. Otherwise, there really won't even be time to send the last telegram.
Fujita Rentaro immediately ordered the devil communication soldier next to him to send a report immediately, and then said: "Captain, the matter has come to this, and we only have a moment to fight. ”。
Yonekura Kotaro smiled bitterly, then nodded, and personally led the few devil soldiers in the brigade headquarters to the battle formation to direct the battle.
At this time, more than 2,000 people and horses of the first battalion of the battalion that came in from the six gaps in the city wall blasted from the west gate of the inner city were annihilated all the way, defeating the Japanese army and the Imperial Alliance Army under the command of General Taro Miyadi, who were blocking, and then waved the division to continue to attack the core position of the Japanese brigade headquarters in the inner city.
The west gate of the inner city has been broken, and the rest of the Japanese defenders in other directions of the inner city have also been defeated, and they have moved closer to the core position of the brigade headquarters where Yonekura Kotaro is located in the inner city.
"Dada, dada!!"
"Boom, boom!!"
......
The sound of gunfire in the fierce battle continued to explode through the streets and buildings.
It took less than ten minutes for Zhang Dabiao to command the first battalion, and it quickly reached the periphery of the core position of Yonekura Kotaro's brigade headquarters.
The headquarters of Yonekura Kotaro was originally a courtyard for dignitaries, with more than 30 rooms.
The annex is large in size and has complex topography.
After the west gate of the inner city was breached, Yonekura Kotaro knew that he could no longer command the remnants of the Japanese puppet army to break out from Chifeng. Because in the interval between the battles, Yonekura Kotaro quietly sent a force to break through from the eastern direction of the Chifeng inner city, and fell into the hands of the new regiment that was attacking, and the whole army was annihilated.
After being quietly sent to break through the small force of troops, Yonekura Kotaro finally gave up. Knowing that breaking through at this time can only be sent to death.
According to the more than 30 sturdy houses where the core brigade headquarters is located, they are holding on to and waiting for help, and there may be a glimmer of life. Otherwise, it is estimated that there is only a dead end.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao led his troops to attack the periphery of the core position of the Japanese garrison headquarters in Chifeng City before other troops, and soon encountered the resistance of the remnants of the Japanese army under the personal supervision and command of Yonekura Kotaro.
"Made, the little devil is stubborn in resisting!" Standing behind a stone pillar on the side of the street less than 50 meters from the periphery of the core position of Yonekura Kotaro's headquarters, Zhang Dabiao held a telescope and watched the resistance of the defenders of the Japanese headquarters very tenacious, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
The staff officer of the first battalion said with a smile: "Battalion commander, this little devil's resistance is in vain. We caught a few defeated soldiers of the puppet army who were blocking the attack and interrogated them, and the guards of Chifeng were the captain of the Japanese garrison, Kotaro Yonekura, and the chief of staff, Captain Fujita Rentaro. According to the confessions of several captured puppet army routs, within the dozens of houses opposite is the headquarters of Kotaro Yonekura. However, judging from the number of Japanese puppet troops we annihilated, the strength of the devil command on the opposite side is estimated to be less than a thousand. ”。
"Not to be underestimated!"
Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said: "Although there may be less than a thousand remnants of the Japanese army on the opposite side, being able to hold on to this day also shows that Yonekura Kotaro, who is stationed in Chifeng, is also a relatively capable devil commander." We must be cautious, order the companies, and intensify the offensive. Use all your firepower and cooperate with the other battalions to try to completely annihilate the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible. ”。
"Yes, battalion commander, I see." The staff officer of the first battalion of the army smiled, and immediately asked the herald to order all units to strengthen the offensive.
As soon as Zhang Dabiao gave the order, all companies of the first battalion immediately intensified their fire attacks.
At this time, the men and horses of the new regiment and the second battalion that came in from the north gate and south gate of the inner city also surrounded and killed the other directions of Yonekura Kotaro's headquarters.
Needless to say, the men and horses of the three battalions, plus Duan Peng's special commando team, fully five or six thousand men and horses stormed the headquarters of Kotaro Yonekura.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Several infantry artillery shells fell rapidly, blasting a heavy machine-gun fire point on the periphery of the little devil's brigade headquarters into the sky.
Yonekura Kotaro, who was personally supervising the remnants of the battle and bravely resisting the attack of the new group, happened to see the heavy machine gun fire point in the outer position that was blown up into the sky from the telescope, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Eight grid tooth road!" ”
"Captain, the situation is not good! All light and heavy machine-gun fire points in the outlying positions of the brigade headquarters have been lost. The units of the new regiment have already entered the courtyard of the brigade headquarters from all sides! Street battles are taking place between buildings with our defenders. ”
After a pause, the chief of staff of the brigade, Fujita Rentaro, who rushed to report the battle situation, continued to say bitterly: "In addition, we have suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than 700 soldiers left who are still capable of fighting according to the rapid statistics of various departments. ”。
"Bang !!"
Hearing this, Kotaro Yonekura smashed his fist on the wall on the side, "Damn! Order all the soldiers to defend it, and give up some unimportant yards! Concentrate your forces and hold on to important strongholds! ”
"Hay, Captain, I understand!" Rentaro Fujita paused heavily.
It's just that at this time, for Kotaro Yonekura, looking around, the shouts of killing and explosions are not far away.
In particular, Wang Chengzhu used all the infantry artillery and mortars to bombard the low-level bombardment behind Zhang Dabiao and other troops, and cooperated with the infantry soldiers to carry out a fierce bombardment of the fortified place where Yonekura Kotaro's headquarters was located.
Up to now, the devil troops under Yonekura Kotaro have no artillery fire to counterattack and support. Under the artillery bombardment of Wang Chengzhu, some important commanding heights were bombed by the mortars of the new regiment.
At the end of the fierce battle, Li Yunlong also came to the front line.
"Regiment Commander, the various departments are progressing smoothly, and they have completely surrounded several rooms where the core command room of Yonekura Kotaro's brigade headquarters is located. is attacking fiercely, and the little devil is desperately resisting, still with no intention of surrendering. Amidst the sound of gunfire, the herald hurried to Li Yunlong, stood up and saluted to report the battle situation.
Li Yunlong held the binoculars, and under his feet were the ruins of the building, "Hmph! Act recklessly. Order all the departments to fight a quick battle, and if the little devils don't surrender, they will all be annihilated. ”
"Yes, Captain!" The herald departed.
At this point, even if Yonekura Kotaro commanded the remnants of the devil to surrender, Li Yunlong would not accept it. In the first battle of Chifeng, Li Yunlong learned that the losses of each department were hundreds, and the number of soldiers who had died had reached more than 100.
With so many casualties, Li Yunlong has decided to annihilate all the Japanese puppet army in Chifeng.
With Li Yunlong's strict order, Zhang Dabiao and others struggled to command their respective troops to fiercely attack the headquarters where Yonekura Kotaro was located. After a strong attack in the last few minutes, more than 70 remnants of the Japanese army including Kotaro Yonekura were completely annihilated.
At this point, Chifeng was recovered by a new group.
