The devil fighters covered the ground roaring, and Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others, who were storming the remnants of the Japanese army in the county town, received Li Yunlong's order. Immediately ordered the soldiers of their respective divisions to maintain the siege of the remnants of the Japanese army, except for some soldiers, and all the rest of the soldiers to find concealment.

At this time, the remnants of the devil soldiers in Linxi County were ecstatic, and they actually fought back a little.

However, at this time, the formation of Japanese fighters had already flown over the county, and after the bombing coordinates provided to the commander of the devil fighters according to the order of Hattori Musashi, nearly 20 devil fighters roared and bombed the position below the coordinates fiercely.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The power of the fighter's aerial bombs was greater than that of artillery shells on the ground, and a devil shell landed at close range next to a building where seven or eight soldiers were hiding. The building was completely blown into ruins, and the seven or eight soldiers who were hiding on the side were also killed by the bombs dropped by the fighters, and the rest were injured to varying degrees.

The bombing of the little devil's fighters lasted less than a minute, but the bombs dropped by nearly twenty fighters were enough to cause many casualties among the new group of fighters hidden on the ground.

Hattori Musashi, the captain of the devil group, was on the roof of the building where his brigade headquarters was located, condescendingly holding a telescope and watching the bomb explosion scene dropped by the dense fighters around the brigade headquarters, laughing.

"Yo Xi, Yo Xi, the Empire's fighters are really powerful! Haha, Li Yunlong's troops have suffered a lot of casualties if they don't die, haha! Order all troops, after the bombardment, immediately launch a wave of counterattack, we will hurt Li Yunlong. Hurry up and drip !! Hattori Musashi laughed, and then ordered a devil herald.

The devil herald immediately paused and said, "Hai, captain. After that, he walked away to give the order.

At this time, after the devil fighters finished bombing, and all the fighters flew at low altitude and strafed the ground with aviation machine guns, they shook the wings of the plane to signal to the devil defenders in the county and then pulled up and returned!

"Kill, for the sake of the Empire, on!" After receiving the order of Hattori Musashi, Di Yezhen, the chief of staff of the brigade who supervised the battle, personally commanded a group of devils to counterattack Zhang Dabiao's headquarters from the north of the brigade headquarters position.

Due to the Japanese bombardment, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion and Shen Qun's second battalion lost many soldiers.

However, all units of the new regiment had a set of mature air defense procedures for the bombing of the little devil's fighters, so although there were casualties, the suppressive attack on the devil's brigade headquarters was carried out quickly.

"Dada, dada!!" The devils counterattacked, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd battalions had already mastered the submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns in their hands.

One bullet after another burst into flames, knocking the devil infantry who came to counterattack to the ground one by one.

Seeing the heavy casualties in the counterattack, the Type 38 rifles of the Japanese infantry were no match for the submachine guns in the hands of the new regiment of soldiers in close combat, and the resentful Di Ye Zhen could only order the counterattacking troops to retreat.

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others waved their troops along the streets, attacking step by step.

Street fighting, close combat, firepower output is the most important condition.

The submachine guns in the hands of the men and horses of the new regiment are far stronger than the firepower of the little devils under the same scale of light and heavy machine gun firepower.

This hand has already been beaten by the devil defenders who are pressing Linxi.

The devils who were retreating one after another continued to lose their positions, and the street fortifications were scattered by the mortars and artillery that followed closely behind Zhang Dabiao and other infantry.

Less than ten minutes after the devil fighter plane returned from bombing, Di Yezhen personally supervised the battle, and he could not save the declining situation.

Di Yezhen, who hurried back to the brigade headquarters, saw Hattori Musashi for the first time, and said in a low voice: "Captain, most of the several important streets outside the brigade headquarters have been occupied by the new regiment. We were beaten and retreated, and the opponent's firepower was too strong. The bombing of the fighters of the previous air force probably did not cause serious casualties to the opposing infantry. Their strength is still far higher than ours, and their firepower is also strong. ”。

"Eight Tooth Road! I can't count on the infantry reinforcements of General Matsui to the north! You see, this is an urgent telegram from His Excellency the General! ”

When Hattori Musashi heard this, he cursed, and then handed the telegram in his hand to Di Ye Zhen.

Di Yezhen took it and took a quick look, Matsui Shigen sent to raise 2,000 cavalry to the north, and it is estimated that there will be about an hour to rush to Linxi to reinforce his side.

It's just that Di Ye really smiled bitterly, how could he hold on to this hour.

However, from another part of Matsui Ishone's callback, Di Yezhen found that Matsui Ishone ordered that if he couldn't hold the city, he could break through and follow Li Yunlong's main force in the distance. As long as they could catch up with Li Yunlong's army, this made Di Ye really breathe a sigh of relief.

"Captain, we are seriously understaffed right now. It is no longer necessary to defend the perimeter of the core position of the brigade headquarters, and it is impossible to defend it. ”

After a pause, Di Yezhen continued: "At present, all the key streets and places have been attacked by various units under Li Yunlong's command, and the imperial soldiers guarded by each department have suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to fight like this, we will have no intention of annihilating the whole army. Since Your Excellency the General asked us to choose an opportunity to break through, and then follow and observe Li Yunlong's main force, just catch them. So why do we have to stay here? ”。

"Di Yejun, do you mean to break through?"

Di Ye Zhen paused and said, "Haiyi, it's best to break through now!" At present, we have less than 600 remaining soldiers. Although Li Yunlong's troops suffered a lot of losses after a wave of bombing by Imperial Air Force fighters, their total strength was still far higher than ours. At least, judging from the number of enemy attacks reported by various ministries, Li Yunlong's current strength is still at least between 6,000 and 7,000 men. Captain, and the opponent's firepower is very strong, if we continue to fight, there will only be a picture of the entire army being wiped out. ”。

Hattori Musashi paced around, his eyes flickering, and the thoughts in his head continued.

But the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing that was getting closer and closer made Hattori Musashi quickly sober up.

"Order all departments to leave part of the death squad to launch a counter-charge, and the rest of the men and horses will immediately assemble to the brigade headquarters, and then fight out of the siege from Dongcheng, quickly." Di Ye Zhen said well, and after a little thought, Hattori Musashi immediately decided.

Di Ye really secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Hai, captain! ”

Di Ye Zhen immediately took action, sending heralds to order the remnants of the various departments to carry out Hattori Musashi's orders.

And the transfer of Hattori Musashi, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, Ma Wenhai and others who were on the front line of the attack quickly realized. The devils everywhere suddenly organized some men and horses to launch a powerful counterattack, but other Japanese soldiers urgently assembled at the devil brigade headquarters.

After that, the front-line troops of Ma Wenhai's department, who were responsible for feints in the direction of other urban areas, reported that they encountered a large number of Japanese charges, and it seemed that they were going to break through from Dongcheng.

"If you want to run, no way! Order Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion, hold me around, and intercept the men and horses of the devil breaking through! Li Yunlong sneered, and immediately ordered the cavalry battalion to make a detour outside Dongcheng to intercept after receiving the report.
