Chapter 506: A telegram for help
The gunshots in Ruichang City rang out from time to time, and the brothers who were responsible for combing along the streets were methodically clearing the devil soldiers everywhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The devils don't have many troops stationed in the city, and they have to be scattered and stationed in important places, which further weakens the strength of the devils.
Yang Ling didn't have the slightest worry about the blacksmith and Shunzi leading people to clear out the remnants of the devils everywhere, after all, they were all experienced grassroots commanders and knew how to protect themselves and destroy the enemy.
Shots were fired all over the city, occasionally mixed with the sound of grenades and grenade rounds trembling explosions, and the gunfire continued to extend in both directions to the north and south, and the clean-up mission was carried out smoothly.
Compared with the sometimes sparse and sometimes dense firefights in various parts of the city, the vicinity of the Xu family's compound, where the devil's ammunition warehouse is located, has become eerily quiet.
Several machine gun crews that seized the commanding heights on the roof condescendingly suppressed the devil soldiers in the courtyard, as long as they dared to raise their heads on the wall, they would raise their hands to be a shuttle of bullets.
The machine gun team's condescending fight made the devil soldiers shrink in the courtyard and never dare to show their heads on the courtyard wall again, but the devil's tactical literacy is also very high.
Although they could not climb the courtyard wall and fire their guns outside, they were soon cut into several shooting holes in the courtyard wall, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun was erected behind the smashed windows.
In a very short period of time, the devils turned the Xu family's compound into a strong fortress, and once Yang Ling and their brothers wanted to attack forward, they would be met with a storm of bullets.
There were only about 30 devils in the courtyard, and they originally had about one and a half squads, all of which were temporarily assembled to suppress the mutiny in the security camp.
But after a chaotic battle, only more than 30 of the devils of a small team of demons remained, and retreated into the Xu family compound, where a large amount of supplies and ammunition was stored, and waited for help.
The devils relied on the shooting holes in the courtyard wall to form an impenetrable fire net, Yang Ling and the others gave up the frontal attack, and the brothers went everywhere to find firewood and gasoline to prepare for the fire attack.
And the devil soldiers in the courtyard also took advantage of this gap to hurriedly carry ammunition, and urgently built fortifications in the front yard and the back yard, preparing to defend to the death.
Although Zhuqi Heigu was attacked by Yang Ling and them, and now retreated into the courtyard where the supplies were stored with the remaining subordinates, he had stabilized his position.
Takeki Kuroya believed that as long as he held on, the infantry detachments in various parts of the city would come over with reinforcements after learning of the situation, and even if he could not repel the Chinese army outside, with so many supplies and ammunition, he would still be able to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
In the dim ear room of the backyard, the radio station was constantly ticking, and two devil signal soldiers were nervously communicating with the 6th Brigade on the Minshan Frontier Battlefield.
Ruichang suddenly appeared a large number of unknown Chinese troops attacked, and the remaining squadron leader Takeki Kuroya had lost control of Ruichang City, and he had to urgently call for help.
Takeki Kurotani knew in his heart that this was not only an advance base for storing a large number of weapons and ammunition, but also a necessary way for the logistics supply and transportation of the 6th Brigade, and the brigade commander would not ignore it.
A few hours ago, he had already received an order to transport ammunition to the front line, and the baggage team was attacked, and the front line ammunition ran out, so he urgently organized people to rush ammunition and supplies to Minshan.
However, he was about to send the security battalion and the left-behind squadron to transport ammunition to the front line, but first there was a mutiny in the security camp, and then a surprise attack by the Chinese army, which made Takeki Kurotani suddenly confused.
"Has the telegram for help been sent?" Takeki Kuroya had been nervously guarding the radio station, watching the signal soldier stop, and hurriedly asked.
"Squadron leader, a telegram for help has been sent." The signal soldier replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Takeki Kurotani's tense face finally eased a little, as long as the commander of the forward brigade received the telegram, he would definitely not sit idly by, then they just had to hold on and wait for help.
"As soon as there is a call back, report it immediately."
"Hey!" The signal corps bowed heavily.
After leaving the dimly lit ear room, Takeki Kuroya walked to the front yard to inspect the defenses.
There were only more than 30 ghost soldiers who retreated into the courtyard with him, and half of them were leaning against the wall of the front yard at the moment, squatting against the temporarily chiseled shooting holes.
As soon as they noticed that a Chinese soldier wanted to rush in this direction, they would immediately pull the trigger and fire, and the heavy machine gun mounted in the window would also immediately fire.
Anyway, what they are behind them now is the ammunition material warehouse, and the ammunition is sufficient, so they don't have to worry about running out of ammunition, so the firepower is fierce.
Several wounded devil soldiers lay on the steps and groaned in pain, and a medic wearing a red cross was urgently helping them to treat their wounds and stop the bleeding.
"Your Excellency the General has sent reinforcements to aid Ruichang, we will soon be able to launch a counteroffensive, and please lift your spirits and stick to your respective battle positions to meet the final victory!"
Seeing that morale was a little low, Takeki Kuroya had to make up some lies to boost morale.
Although he didn't know when the brigade commander's reinforcements would arrive, as a commander, he had to take responsibility for his soldiers and give them hope to hold on.
The Chinese army's raid on Ruichang caused heavy losses to the devils, although gunfire was still heard in the city, but now there are only more than 30 people who retreat to the courtyard.
Looking at the black and oppressive Chinese army outside, Rao is these devil soldiers are well-trained, and they are still inevitably panicked and worried, and at this moment, seeing the sharp confidence in the eyes of Zhuqi Heigu, he suddenly calmed down.
When Yang Ling and the others were actively preparing to conquer the last fortress of the devils in Ruichang City, at the front of Minshan, where the battle was raging, the chief of staff of the devils took a telegram and hurriedly walked to the sleeping brigade commander Maruyama Masao.
Maruyama Masao's 6th Brigade was able to stabilize the defensive line with the ammunition and supplies that were urgently airdropped, and at this moment, they only needed to send supplies and ammunition from the rear to they were able to launch a ferocious attack again.
The two sides fought for several days and nights in this Minshan Mountain, although the blood was flowing, but the 6th Brigade was still strong, and Maruyama Masao also had blind confidence in his troops, that is, they would definitely be able to defeat the 74th Army.
Now that the troops have stabilized the defensive line, Maruyama Masao, who has not closed his eyes for more than two days, is now resting in the sound of gunfire wrapped in a marching blanket, he is too tired.
"General, Ruichang has been attacked by a large number of Chinese troops."
Although the chief of staff couldn't bear to disturb the exhausted brigade commander Maruyama Masao, Ruichang's urgent telegram still made him have to wake up Maruyama Masao.
"Nani?" After Maruyama Masao was woken up by the chief of staff, his face was full of shock, and he snatched the telegram and looked at it at a glance.
"Impossible, the Shina army near Ruichang has long been wiped out, how can there be a large force of the Shina army attacking Ruichang," Maruyama Masao really didn't believe it was true, and took the telegram and asked: "Is there a mistake in Takeki-san's telegram?" ”
The chief of staff shook his head solemnly: "I have already called to confirm that Zhuqisang and they have indeed been attacked by a large force of the Chinese army, and the losses are very large, and at this moment they have retreated to the ammunition warehouse, and the situation is precarious." ”
Maruyama Masao walked quickly to the hanging map, looked at the map that was messed up with red and blue lines, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you figured out the number of the Shina army that attacked Ruichang?" ”
"The telegram from Zhuqi-san said that the Chinese army that attacked them was wearing German-style steel helmets and should be the main force of the Chinese people."
After hearing the words of the chief of staff, Maruyama Masao's heart suddenly sank, in the Chinese battlefield, all troops wearing German-style steel helmets are the main elite units of the Central Army directly under the Military Commission.
Now that there are Chinese elite troops appearing in Ruichang and copying the retreat of their 6th Brigade, their strategic intentions are self-evident.
Now their 6th Brigade is fighting with the Chinese 74th Army in Minshan, and the ammunition is running out, and at this moment the back road is being copied, and the consequences are unimaginable, and it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out.
"Call back Zhu Qisang, be sure to stick to the ammunition warehouse, our brigade will quickly come back to help."
"I request that the aviation unit dispatch reconnaissance planes to quickly reconnoiter the enemy situation near Ruichang, and request that the troops of the 106th Division quickly move closer to us."
Now Maruyama Masao has no intention of continuing to fight in the Minshan area, and just wants to withdraw to Ruichang as soon as possible, otherwise they are likely to be finished with a lack of ammunition.
"Pass my order, all units should leave the battle as soon as possible and prepare to retreat."
