Chapter 643: Chaotic War
"Shameless! The Japanese fuck is so shameless! ”
Luo Zhuoying was furious in the command headquarters, the reason was that the Botian detachment used poison gas again, and Meilankou was easily occupied by them.
In this poison gas attack, almost half of the 46th Brigade was poisoned, and in desperation, they withdrew from the battlefield and went to the rear for treatment. And escorting these poisoned soldiers still requires a lot of manpower, so the entire 46 brigade was completely reimbursed.
The chief of staff could only smile helplessly and said to Luo Zhuoying: "Their shamelessness is not a day or two. The key now is that we lost a brigade in vain, so what to do with Hukou? The key to the whole battle situation is Hukou County. ”
Luo Zhuoying sighed: "Actually, when I issued the No. 11 combat order, we had already lost. But defeat is also dignified! The joke such as Madang Fortress was absolutely impossible to perform. ”
"Maybe there is a turnaround, doesn't the 26th Division have the help of a falcon, it is said that it can top a regiment. As long as they can hold on until the sixth, we still have hope. ”
"Don't get your hopes up. The 26th Division is now a remnant of the defeated army, and the Falcon only has 13 people who can do anything. ”
Luo Zhuoying already lost hope in the 26th Division. But he was already determined to give the 106th Division and the Botian Detachment a little color in the final battle. In this way, even if the 19th Army is defeated, it will be more glorious in defeat.
July 4 is the most crucial day to determine the fate of the lake. The 106th Division took the lead in launching an attack on Hukou County.
"Boom Boom" "......"
First a bombardment of the northern city and outlying positions, followed by a ground assault.
In less than ten minutes, nearly two squadrons of the vanguard broke through the city gate and stormed the city.
Breaking through the county so easily, the commander of the 106th Division, Matsuura Rokuro, did not find it strange, because the opponent was a fragile old motley team: the Sichuan army.
When the vanguard entered Miura Street, it was blocked by the Sichuan Army Street fortifications.
The devils quickly dispersed the counterattack and intended to shell the fortifications ahead with grenadiers.
"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”
Suddenly, gunshots rang out everywhere in all directions. The windows and rooftops on both sides of the street have the shadows of Sichuan soldiers. Just like that, it made the devil dizzy, and he didn't know where to attack.
"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”
Suddenly, a large number of Sichuan soldiers rushed out of the houses and alleys on both sides of the street.
The devil was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Before the offensive formation was launched, the Sichuan army had already killed in front of them, and the devils were completely powerless.
"Boom Bang Bang" "Bang Bang" "......"
The follow-up troops quickly arrived to reinforce them, but they were cut off by another wave of Sichuan troops. As for the special operators, they are scattered all over the place to carry out sniper missions.
At the headquarters of the 26th Division, Shao Fei ordered into the phone: "The first battalion and the second battalion are sealed!"
At Chen Haotian's suggestion, Liu Yuqing handed over the command of the 26th Division to Shao Fei. City battles, street battles, Shao Fei and Falcon are professionals.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 56th Regiment fought out from the east and west sides, using houses and prepared bunkers to block the north gate by fire to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to enter the city.
"Hit!"
"Dadada" "......"
Two battalions fired from both flanks with strong fire to the north. Under the attack of the dense rain of bullets, rows of devils rushed in and fell in the north city.
The first and second battalions not only replenished their strength, but Shao Fei also gave all the heavy weapons of the 26th Division to these two battalions.
"Put!"
"Bang Bang Bang" "Bang Bang" "......"
24 mortar guns attacked the north gate together, blocking the devils in the outer city.
The two battalions worked so hard to block the enemy, just to close the door and fight the dogs, and eliminate all the devils who rushed into the city.
The entire Hukou County was the battlefield of the Sichuan army, and the strategy he used was to "punch the old master to death".
The 26th Division took advantage of the numerical advantage to attack everywhere, snipe everywhere, and charge at any time.
"Report! The division headquarters ordered the first battalion to retreat immediately. ”
"It seems that the devils in the county town have been dealt with, and the battalion has withdrawn!"
The 1st Battalion quickly withdrew from the North City, and the 2nd Battalion also withdrew back and disappeared into the alleys.
After the battle, the Sichuan soldiers in the city quickly collected equipment and sent heavy weapons such as grenadiers and light machine guns to the first and second battalions.
"Well played!"
At the command of the 26 division. Division commander Liu Yuqing couldn't help but shout hello when he heard the good news.
Shao Fei replied: "The Sichuan army is backward in equipment, so it can only fight like this." In positional warfare, the ratio of deaths between the defender and the attacker is 1:3, but the equipment is backward, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the position. ”
Chen Haotian was on the side and said: "Also, you can't fight regular street battles, which is related to the quality of soldiers. So you choose to fight indiscriminately, rush randomly, disrupt the enemy's tactics, so that their marksmanship and stabbing advantages cannot be brought into play. ”
Shao Fei smiled ashamedly and said, "That's right." The 106th Division is not as strong as expected, which is different from the First Division Regiment.
But the 106th Division was not as stupid as Shao Fei imagined, and they quickly learned a lesson in the battle.
In the second attack, the devils first occupied the northern city with heavy troops, and the follow-up troops advanced one by one. The front and rear troops kept a distance to cover each other and carry out encroachment in the area.
This information was quickly conveyed to the headquarters of the 26th Division, and Shao Fei immediately ordered the second set of combat plans to be adopted. The 1st and 2nd Battalions were ordered to move to Xicheng, and the rest of the troops were withdrawn to Nancheng.
The 106th Division is only one wing, and it is impossible for all of them to attack the county seat. Shao Fei also saw that the attacking troops were insufficient and could not be fully launched, so he used this plan.
At this time, gunshots can be heard from different places in the city.
When the vanguard of the devils approached the southern city, flames were burning at the main intersections in the rear.
The Sichuan soldiers, who were hidden in various places, risked their lives to push the cart to the intersection, which was already filled with firewood and doused with kerosene, and then ignited. The purpose is to cut off the devils so that they can't evacuate easily.
"Boom Boom" "......" "Bang Bang Bang" "......"
The gunfire in the city began to become more intense, mixed with the sound of explosions.
The troops of the southern city were concentrated in one place and raided in one direction. The same goes for the first and second battalions of Xicheng.
The devil's forces are scattered, and they can't concentrate a little attack in time. And the soldiers of the Sichuan army kept throwing grenades and charging.
A road crossing was constantly broken through by the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army was rampaging in the city, chaotic assault.
Before the battle, the special forces were divided into groups and took cover in various areas.
The whole county town is in chaos, and there is a possibility of fighting everywhere. What tactics, deployments, and the like are completely useless, and the Sichuan army is fighting a "fast" and "chaotic" fight. When encountering a strong enemy, it will be withdrawn, and when it encounters a weak enemy, it will be directly destroyed.
The devils who attacked the city were overwhelmed, and gradually retreated, and finally withdrew to the northern city. The Sichuan army was not in pursuit, and the northern city, which was abandoned by the way, continued to defend the main Hukou urban area.
The Japanese army was helpless against such a tactic and could only stalemate first.
On the periphery, Huang Wei, commander of the 18th Army, ordered the 11th Division to be responsible for attacking the enemy at Meilankou and recapturing positions; The 48th Brigade of the 16th Division was ordered to advance from Meicun and attack the enemy at Longtan Mountain.
Luo Zhuoying ordered the 60th Division to occupy three commanding heights in the area of Liusi Bridge and the center of Taipingguan Hukou; Ordered the other main forces to build a second-line position in the area of Taipingguan - Dayuan - Wu Bafang Bay - Ma Ying to block reinforcements further out.
The tide of battle seems to be back to its previous state. One part of the troops held back reinforcements, and the other part attacked the enemy on the inner line of the lake. The only thing that has changed is the central point, where Longtan Mountain is transferred to Hukou County.
As long as the 26th Division can hold Hukou County, the balance of victory may still turn to the side of the Nationalist army.
