Chapter 545: Grappling
As soon as the commander of the 145th Wing of the 106th Division arrived outside the east gate of Ruichang County, he saw that the soldiers who were serving as the vanguard assault were driven out by the Chinese army like dogs.
The commander of the 145th Wing, Ichikawa Yozo Nakasa, stopped the defeated troops with a gloomy face, and looked at them with a disgraced and embarrassed appearance, and he was angry.
Their troops were defeated by the 70th Army of the Chinese army on the Nanxun Line, and this time they reorganized their recruits, weapons and ammunition, and they became strong again.
According to the intelligence, the 74th Army they are now facing is already a tired division, and it stands to reason that it is easy to eat the other side in one bite.
But seeing that his subordinates were so uncompetitive, and they were beaten so miserably as soon as they met the other party, if they let other friendly troops see where to put their old face.
"What's going on?!" Wing Captain Ichikawa Yozo suppressed his anger and loudly questioned the bloodied captain.
The disgraced captain stepped forward and explained to Wing Commander Ichikawa Yozo's heavy bow, "Your Excellency, we have been ambushed by the Shina people, and they are hiding in the ruins like rats......
"The tanks that are assigned to you, why don't you bomb them!" The Wing Captain asked loudly.
"It was completely blown up by the Chinese army." The captain replied angrily.
"Nani?" Hearing that several tanks were blown up by the Chinese army, Wing Commander Ichikawa Yozo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"Yaga! You stupid pig! ”
The angry co-captain Ichikawa Yozo was ruthless with an ear scraper, and the captain was dizzy.
"Hey!" The unlucky captain was beaten, but he didn't dare to dodge and carried it hard.
Looking at the smoke-billowing Ruichang County and the embarrassed forward soldiers standing there, Wing Commander Ichikawa Yozo kicked the embarrassed captain fiercely.
"Go back and gather the troops!"
"Hey!" The lieutenant began to gather his scarred soldiers, as if he had been pardoned.
Wing Captain Ichikawa Yozo still wanted to rush into Ruichang County before the rest of the troops, but he didn't expect that the uncompetitive captain not only failed to win, but lost his troops, which made him very angry.
"Absan, quickly clear the Chinese army in the city, our 145th Wing must be the first to enter the city!"
Wing Commander Yozo Ichikawa gave an order to Captain Abda, who was standing beside him.
"Hey!" Captain Abuda confidently agreed, but he still pleaded: "Captain, I ask for artillery support." ”
Wing Commander Yozo Ichikawa nodded and said, "I will let the artillery brigade support you." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Captain." After the captain Abda finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his troops, preparing to launch an attack on Ruichang County.
Just as the 145th Wing was actively preparing to attack Ruichang County to win the first success, the commander of the 111th Brigade also arrived at the north gate of Ruichang County, and they also encountered the resistance of the 302nd Regiment, and the attack was repulsed.
"Ask for artillery support!"
The commander of the 111th Brigade, Major General Yamachi Heng, did not hesitate at all, and in the face of the Chinese army relying on the defense of the complex, he viciously gave the order, ready to cover with artillery fire and destroy the other side.
The 106th Division not only has artillery units directly under it, but the commander of the 11th Army specially transferred the 52nd Mountain Artillery Wing to fight with them in order to strengthen their offensive capability, and the artillery firepower can be described as very powerful.
After Yang Ling and the others repelled the attack of the devil soldiers, they had already expected that the devils would definitely launch a crazy revenge, but they had also fought countless battles with the devils, so they retreated one after another to prevent shelling.
"The devil has fired!" Just as Yang Ling and the others were retreating backwards to prevent artillery shelling, a brother suddenly shouted.
There were countless sharp whistling sounds in the sky, and shells of various calibers were overwhelmingly smashing down towards Ruichang County.
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"
The continuous explosions rang out like muffled thunder, and the entire city jumped as if it had been hit by an earthquake, and then black and red flames rose into the air.
A strong wave of explosion gas stirred in the county, and in the violent tremor, tiles and masonry flew sideways, smoke and dust rose one after another, and the entire county was covered with billowing smoke.
The bombardment of the devils was fierce and intense, and the smoke and dust from the explosion enveloped the sky over the city and turned gray, and the streets were blown into ruins, rotten wood flew in the air, and windows and doors were blown to pieces.
The tiny county town of Ruichang was shaken by the ferocious shelling, with houses collapsing and turning into rubble, fires blazing, and many places being razed to the ground.
Although Yang Ling and the others had already expected the bombardment of the devils, they did not expect it to be so violent, they were like a small boat swaying in the stormy seas, which could capsize at any time.
The brothers' ears were deaf to the deafening roar, and choking smoke wafted in, making them feel tight and short of breath.
In the face of the covered artillery bombardment of the 106th Division of the Devils, the entire Ruichang County was plunged into a sea of gunsmoke, the bustling neighborhood became rubble and ruins, and raging fires were ignited in many places.
Black pillars of smoke rose from all over the city, looking at the city trembling in the shelling, but the devil soldiers outside the city did not have the slightest expression, they wished to blow it up.
"Kill, change, change!"
As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the commander of the 145th Wing, who couldn't wait to take the first credit, Ichikawa Yozo, pulled out his saber, and a large group of devils rolled forward like locusts and pounced on the smoke-shrouded county seat of Ruichang.
"Attack!" The commander of the 111th Brigade in the north of the city was not far behind, and more than a thousand devils also held bayonets and pounced on Ruichang County, all wanting to compete for the first credit.
The sound of the devil's cannon stopped, but the ears of the brothers were still buzzing, and in the hazy smoke of gunpowder, the neighborhood in front of them in front of them had been reduced to rubble in the shelling.
"Dog's day's little devil, you really look up to us." Looking at the large scorched earth ruins that were burning with flames, Qin Shou and the others had palpitations.
If they had been running slowly, they would have been blown to ashes by the fire, just like the houses that had been blown down.
"Prepare for battle, it's time for the devil to come up!" The fierce shelling of the devils made Yang Ling and them realize that this battle might not be so easy to fight.
At the beginning, they were relatively optimistic when they were given the task of holding out for two hours, but now it seems that the 106th Division has all been pressed up, and the pressure on their shoulders has increased sharply.
However, the military order is like a mountain, they must drag the devil here to cover the transfer of the main force, if the main force is glued by the 106th Division, then the loss will be great, and sometimes, someone must stay and sacrifice to take care of the overall situation.
The gunfire soon rang out in the ruins, and the little devils who thought that the Chinese officers and soldiers were wiped out by artillery fire were hit head-on, and the bullets fired from the ruins harvested the devil soldiers in pieces.
Many of the paralyzed devil soldiers paid enough price, and by the time the troops who had rushed over to support them arrived at the sound of gunfire, they were already corpses in pools of blood.
"Yaga! Pursuit! Faced with the Chinese officers and soldiers who left with one blow, the angry devil soldiers began to pursue through the ruins.
But Yang Ling and the others did not fight with the devils, but relied on the ruined buildings to fight with the devils, constantly eating away at the devil soldiers who entered the city, they only needed to delay time.
