"Nani? How can it be? Sajiro Shigeto said in surprise.

Gao Shan Pingye hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the new regiment concentrated at least ten imperial Type 92 infantry guns to bombard the southern city wall fiercely, the city wall has been blown up for a long time, and a gap five or six meters wide has been blown up, and now it is too late to block the gap in the city wall that has been blown up!" ”。

Shigeto Sajiro was not calm for a moment, and immediately walked to the topographic map of the city placed on the desktop of the headquarters, and the current situation was critical, Shigeto Sajiro immediately pointed to the map and said: "Order the Sato squadron to defend the southern city, rely on the terrain and streets, and fight street battles with the Shina army, and resist the offensive of the Shina army first!" ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Takayama Hirano immediately stood up and said, then turned around and left to deploy defenses.

In the urban area of Nancheng, on the streets of Nancheng, it was already a scene of war at this time.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! "Bullets of scorching heat with a whistling and piercing sound swept through the sky, and immediately struck the sacks of the streets and whizzed over the fortifications of the barricades.

With Czech light machine guns as the main attacking firepower, the new regiment continued to fire at the Japanese fortifications in front.

"Kill all the little devils, kill! Brothers! "On the blocks of Nancheng, the first battalion of the new regiment Zhang Dabiao, which broke in from the gap in the city wall, advanced in small groups along Nancheng Street and several main streets to attack in depth in the city, and along the way, shouts of killing were everywhere.

It has to be said that after the Japanese army lost the southern city wall, the remnants of the Japanese troops at the head of the city quickly retreated to the barricade defensive position in the city, and made peace with the Japanese defenders in the defensive position in the middle of the city, and began to fight street battles with the new regiment.

"Boom, boom!" Blazing mortar shells continued to bombard the Japanese fortifications in the streets and alleys, supplemented by rifle and light machine gun fire, Zhang Dabiao commanded the first battalion to begin to advance along Nancheng Street as the main direction of attack, and the battle was extremely fierce.

At this time, the Japanese army of more than 300 people of the Sato Squadron of the Japanese Shigeto Brigade guarding the Nancheng block and the remnants of the Japanese army at the head of the Nancheng Castle, a total of 352 people, were scattered around the Nancheng Street of Yanggao.

"Your Excellency, I can't stand it, the mortar fire of the Chinese army is too strong. Forward troops request artillery support! "In the southern city area, on the third floor of a residential house near the middle of the city, Sato Squadron Leader Jino Sato received a battlefield report from the defenders in front.

Sato Jino frowned, and then said: "Yo Xi, I know, you go back immediately and tell the Captain Yamano that you must hold the front position." I'll mobilize two mortars to reinforce you at once! ”。

"Hayi, Captain!" The devil soldier paused, then turned away.

At this time, the battle in the southern city of Yanggao was already very fierce, for the Japanese defenders, Yanggao had occupied it for about a year, and the Shigeto Brigade stationed in Yanggao had not left, so the Japanese troops of the Shigedo Brigade were familiar with the terrain of Yanggao City. Therefore, Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers, under the cover of mortar and light machine gun fire, and fought very hard.

"Damn, the little devil is very tenacious! Made! Order the first company on the left flank, the second company on the right flank, the third company in the center, the artillery unit covers, give me a strong attack, kill! Zhang Dabiao put down the binoculars in his hand and personally commanded the heralds beside him.

The herald of the first battalion stood up and said, "Yes, battalion commander! ”。

At this time, Sun Dehai, the commander of the first battalion and the first company, received the order, and immediately began to attack and advance to the left flank of Nancheng Street under the cover of Wang Zhuzi's artillery.

Because the new regiment had already entered the city, some of the people in Yanggao City were overjoyed when they learned that it was their own people who had fought back. Some ordinary people in the city who were not afraid of death found Sun Dehai.

At this time, because Sun Dehai was not familiar with the situation in the city, some soldiers reported that ordinary people came to meet the army's counterattack on Yanggao.

"Okay, the tired fellow will take us to attack the devil's left in a roundabout way!" Sun Dehai smiled at the fellow who came to greet the army.

This is a young Yang Gao junior, facing the new group to fight back, and said excitedly: "Okay, Company Commander Sun, you come with me!" I am familiar with the terrain and am guaranteed to be able to bypass the defenses of the little devils with a large army! ’。

"Okay, lead the way, fellow!" Sun Dehai smiled happily, and immediately under the leadership of this fellow, he made a detour to sneak attack the left flank of the devil's defense line.

Under the leadership of his fellow villagers, Sun Dehai broke through the Japanese defense line from the left flank of Nancheng Street, outflanked the little devil's defense in Nancheng City in one fell swoop, and cooperated with Zhang Dabiao to command the rest of the 1st Battalion to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sato Squadron and the rest of the Japanese army of more than 300 people who were guarding Nancheng City.

After receiving the news of the capture of Nancheng, Li Yunlong was overjoyed and immediately marched to the city with the regimental headquarters.

"Da Biao, Da Biao did a good job! Order Zhou Hua's four battalions to attack the rest of the cities, and drag the Japanese defenders in the rest of the city to reinforce the southern city! On the way to the southern city of Yanggao, Li Yunlong ordered Zhou Hua's four battalions to start attacking the remaining Yanggao cities, so as to drag the defenders of the remaining Yanggao cities to attack Zhang Dabiao's troops in the southern city.

"Yes, Captain!" The herald responded with a bang, and immediately ran in the direction of Zhou Huabu.

At this time, the southern city was captured by Zhang Dabiao's department, and the Japanese army in the city, Shigeto Sajiro, was taken aback when he heard this, and soon got the rest of the city to be attacked by the new regiment of Zhou Hua's department.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, more than 400 people of the puppet army have been lost, the southern city has been lost, and the Chinese army has attacked and advanced to the headquarters of the brigade in the city. Do you want to transfer the remaining three cities to reinforce the defenders in the city? Takayama Hirano, the chief of staff of the Shigeto Brigade on the side, whispered to Shigeto Sajiro.

At this time, the battle was unexpected by the mountains and plains, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment was too strong, the southern city was lost, and the enemy army would soon reach the headquarters, so a decision must be made as soon as possible.

At this time, Shigeto Sajiro was already taken aback, and when he heard Takayama Plainno's suggestion, he frowned and said: "At this time, the Sato squadron in the southern city has suffered casualties, even if it mobilizes the defenders in the direction of the three cities to reinforce the brigade headquarters, it is still trapped in the city!" The reinforcements in the Datong direction will not arrive at Yanggao for half an hour at this time! Order the defenders of the rest of the directions to assemble in the west city and break out of the city! ”。

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the street battle in the city is enough to drag down the Chinese army, if we abandon Yanggao, His Excellency Commander Yoshio Shinozuka will inevitably be dissatisfied with our approach!" Takayama Hirano said loudly.

The main force of the new regiment attacked Yanggao, and if Yanggao City was abandoned in less than half an hour at this time, wouldn't it make Yoshio Shinozuka dissatisfied? After all, Li Yunlong's new group killed His Royal Highness Prince Toshihiko Fushimiya! At this time, the new regiment was entangled in Yanggao City, so that the reinforcements of Datong could arrive, and the inside and outside should join forces to eat the new regiment.

At this time, breaking out of the city, Takayama Hirano couldn't believe that Sajiro Shigeto would do this?
