Chapter 238: Breaking Through the Four Gates
"What's the situation? What's the situation? Come and pull people!! ”
Cosmos Fujisaki, who had been awakened by the sound of gunfire in the rest room of the headquarters in the city, shouted at the door, and the bright light of the fire outside the window was clearly visible.
A few seconds later, a devil staff officer hurriedly pushed open the wooden door of the lounge rudely from outside the door and said hurriedly: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, there are enemy troops attacking the city!" At present, I don't know what the situation is, but I know that the gunfire at the south gate is fierce. ”。
"Nani? Enemy siege? There was an enemy attack at night on this big night? Fujisaki Universe couldn't believe it, and stood up angrily and said angrily.
The devil staff officer who came in smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, listen to how fierce the gunfire outside is. The enemy troops who attacked Duolun at night were at least regular troops, and there were at least ten or more artillery pieces. ”。
"Eight Tooth Road! Steady! ”
Fujisaki Universe was completely awake at this time, and when I listened carefully, it was so.
Outside the city, the enemy's artillery cover ten infantry guns are at least certain, and it is still the familiar sound of the Imperial Type 92 infantry guns, the caliber should be about 70 mm.
"Order all troops to counterattack immediately, and resist me!" Fujisaki Universe immediately ordered.
The devil's staff officer paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo." Obedience! ”。
After the devil staff left, Fujisaki Universe hurriedly dressed and put on, picked up a katana placed next to the bed, and hurried to the headquarters hall in front of the lounge.
Due to the fact that Duolun City was breached by Li Yunlong and others before, the Japanese headquarters in the city were actually blown up by the artillery fire of the new regiment. Therefore, Fujisaki Universe, who was re-stationed in the city headquarters, saw traces of the damage caused by the new regiment's attack on the headquarters of Duolun City on the way to the headquarters hall along the way.
It's just that the old devil is no longer in these matters at this time, and I saw Fujisaki Universe hurrying to the headquarters hall, where there were already seven or eight devil staff officers working.
Among them, Captain Fujiki Yumi, the adjutant and chief of staff of Fujisaki Universe, raised his head and saw Fujisaki Universe who was in a hurry, so he immediately stepped forward.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the situation is not good. The number of incoming enemy troops was large, and at least one brigade was more than the strength of the force. At present, the battle is fierce, especially the south and east gates are under heavy enemy artillery fire. In addition, the defending forces found that the enemy had a large number of cavalry around the city. ”
Simply hearing Fujiki Yumi's report on the enemy situation, Fujisaki Universe suddenly frowned.
"What time is it?" Fujisaki Universe asked.
Fujiki Yumi immediately said, "It's about four o'clock in the morning!" Your Excellency Shaozo. ”。
"See clearly, which enemy army is attacking my Duolun City?" Fujisaki Universe unceremoniously said that Duolun City is its own.
"It's not clear, the enemy is besieging the city fiercely. But certainly not the units of the National Army. The Nationalist Army's troops no longer have a large force in Chahar, and even if they do, they only have a small number of troops hiding in the mountains and forests, and it is impossible to have such a large number of troops to attack the city at present. ”
After a pause, Fujiki Yumi said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, you listen, the artillery fire of the enemy troops outside the city is very fierce, and the number of light and heavy machine guns is far greater than that of my troops defending the city. Moreover, most of the light and heavy machine guns were Imperial Type 92 heavy machine guns, Czech light machine guns, as well as a large number of mortars and grenadiers. This kind of strength cannot be a unit of the National Army. “。
"Supervising the Imperial Alliance's army to defend all gates, Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Zhang Bei, requesting to go north to reinforce our department! Zhang Bei's troops are the closest to us and the most capable of reinforcing our imperial army. Listening to how fierce the guns outside the city were, Fujisaki Universe immediately realized that with only the two squadrons of Japanese troops in his hands and two thousand Imperial Cooperative troops, it was possible to hold on for a while.
However, it is clear that the enemy army outside the city has at least one brigade, and there are so many heavy weapons, I am afraid that it will not last long.
"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo, go and do it immediately." Fujiki Yumi paused, and then immediately went to deploy in person.
It's just that in less than a minute, Fujiki Yumi walked up to Fujisaki Universe with a solemn expression and whispered: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, communication with the outside world has been interrupted. In addition, our radio station could not get in touch with the outside world, and I was afraid that there was interference from enemy radios. ”。
"Nani?"
At this time, Fujisaki Universe suddenly felt that something was serious.
"Continue to contact Zhang Bei and ask for reinforcements! The chief of staff sent a few good men to break through the siege at the risk of death, and went south to warn the imperial troops in Baochang and Zhangbei and ask for reinforcements. Hurry up and drop! Fujisaki Cosmic was a little confused in his heart, and hurriedly ordered in a low voice.
Fujiki Yumi immediately said: "Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo, take the order from your humble position." Then he walked away to execute.
At this time, the battalions of the new regiment launched from the north, south and east to attack Duolun County, and under the cover of artillery fire commanded by Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery battalion, all units braved the scattered counterattack fire of the Japanese army at the head of the city to storm Duolun County.
Although the city of Duolun is already under curfew, the four gates are closed. However, during the night attack in the early morning, most of the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers had already taken refuge in the Tibetan Soldier Cave and the city gate building at the head of the city to rest.
With the artillery battalion under the cover of artillery fire, most of the firepower of the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city was suppressed, and several teams dedicated to blasting the city gate piled multiple bundles of explosives at the city gate under the cover of artillery fire.
"Boom, boom!!!"
Violent explosions exploded in the direction of the north gate, the south gate and the east gate, and with the deafening cheers, the shattered city gate could no longer stop the attack of the various siege troops.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the city gate is lost! Retreat, retreat into the city! When Takada Ajiro, the captain of the Japanese squad at the south gate, saw that the city gate was blown up, he immediately gave an order and ordered the remnants of the Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Allied Army to retreat to the city in a hurry.
If we continue to defend the south gate, not to mention the Japanese army, the already fearful Imperial Allied Army will inevitably be on the verge of collapse. It is better to gather the remnants and retreat to the city, or rely on the majesty of Fujisaki Universe's strict management of the army to get close to the death struggle around the Japanese headquarters in the city.
And with Takada Yajiro's order, all the remnants of the Japanese puppet army soldiers suddenly threw off their feet one by one and retreated into the city.
The south gate was lost, and the north gate and east gate were also broken by Zhang Dabiao and others, and the various units quickly attacked the Japanese headquarters in the city.
Seeing that the three gates of the north, south, and east were broken so quickly, Li Yunlong immediately changed his combat policy, and directly ordered the cavalry battalion and some infantry outside the West Gate to storm the West Gate, and then quickly entered the city, and would bravely advance with other troops to the headquarters of the Fujisaki Universe to encircle and attack.
At this time, Fujisaki Universe, who was commanding the battle in the city, received reports from the defenders of each gate that the city gate had been lost, and each department was defeated and retreated by the other side, and was moving closer to the castle headquarters, and was immediately angry.
