Chapter 875: Abandoning Doucun Town

The Maxim heavy machine gun began to fire, and bullets began to be fired, and the bullets were fired towards the ghost soldiers.

The unprepared devil soldiers were killed on the spot, and the corpses of more than thirty devil soldiers began to roll down the high ground.

The devil soldiers were hit by heavy machine gun fire, and they all fell to the ground, while the four infantry guns and four anti-tank guns that supported the devil soldiers quickly fired.

WITH A "BOOM", AN ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL WAS FIRED BY A 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN, AND THIS ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL DIRECTLY HIT THE MAKQIN HEAVY MACHINE GUN, WHICH WAS DESTROYED ON THE SPOT.

The shooter was killed, along with the secondary shooter and the ammo man, and the only heavy weapon on the Nameless Heights was destroyed.

60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE SHELLS, AFTER A FEW SHELLS WERE FIRED, THEY WERE ALSO PROMISED BY THE JAPANESE INFANTRY ARTILLERY, AND AFTER THE FOUR JAPANESE INFANTRY GUNS FIRED EIGHT SHELLS, THEY EASILY DESTROYED THE 60MM MORTAR.

More than a hundred devil soldiers rushed up to the high ground with rifles, and the Japanese captain squadron leader brandished his saber, and he had a smug expression on his face, he thought that his troops would definitely be able to capture the nameless high ground this time.

But when the commander of the first company rushed out with a shell gun in one hand, the captain and squadron leader were obviously stunned, he probably didn't expect that there were still defenders on the nameless heights.

More than a dozen soldiers with varying degrees of trauma followed behind the company commander, and they rushed towards the devil soldiers without hesitation.

This was a white-knuckle battle without any suspense, the first company commander and a dozen fighters were all killed in the end, and the first brigade of the Japanese Tahara Wing captured the nameless heights!

But the time was already ten o'clock, and at this time the first brigade responsible for attacking the nameless heights had already suffered more than four hundred casualties.

The nameless heights fell into the hands of the Japanese army, and the Japanese immediately deployed all the three artillery squadrons belonging to the wing headquarters on the nameless heights, and twelve artillery pieces began to directly bombard the main position of the fifth battalion.

By 11 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops had broken through the positions of the fifth battalion several times in a row, but each time they were driven out by the officers and men of the fifth battalion, but the officers and men of the fifth battalion paid a heavy price.

Doucun Town, Honor 2nd Regiment Headquarters.

The regiment commander Zhong Jian looked outside with a telescope, his face was full of solemn expressions, and this time Zhong Jian knew very well how much pressure the troops of the fifth battalion were under.

"Regiment commander, the fifth battalion has suffered more than 400 casualties, and now there are only more than 200 combatants, if they continue to fight, the fifth battalion troops are afraid that they will be wiped out, and the first company of the fifth battalion has all been sacrificed, now let them evacuate immediately, we have to leave some seeds for the fifth battalion."

Yue Wu, chief of staff of the Honorary Second Regiment, came to the regiment commander Zhong Jian, he looked at Zhong Jian, and said in a solemn tone.

Zhong Jian put down the binoculars, he looked towards the map, he nodded silently and agreed.

The troops of the fifth battalion will not be able to continue to fight, and if they continue to fight, then the fifth battalion will all be sacrificed, which Zhong Jian does not want to see.

The only thing Zhong Jian could do now was to let the 5th Battalion immediately withdraw to Doucun Town, and let the 6th Battalion come to engage the Japanese troops.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese troops were found on the left, there were more than 7,000 Japanese troops in this force, and they were directly attacking Doucun Town."

Before Zhong Jian could speak, a staff officer hurriedly ran to Zhong Jian, and he reported in a solemn tone.

Naturally appearing on the left side of Doucun Town is the 31st Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, and the troops of the 31st Brigade have completed the roundabout mission, and now they are about to start attacking Doucun Town.

The commander of the 109th Division, Anan, is not a very smart general, he was admitted to the Army University after several examinations, and he knew his command ability.

This time he entered Wutai County to fight, Anan Weiji was prepared to adopt the tactics of steady and steady fighting, and the officers and men of the Honorary Second Regiment here in Doucun Town were not all wiped out, and Anan Weiji did not intend to let his troops go deep into the in-depth defense area of Wutai County.

Therefore, in order to deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Doucun Town, Anan Weiji directly used two brigades.

The 118th Brigade was responsible for attacking from the front, while the Japanese 31st Brigade was attacking from the flank.

The Tahara Wing had already begun to break through the position of the 5th Battalion, and now the 31st Brigade was rapidly attacking from the flank, and the situation in Doucun Town was precarious.

Zhong Jian glanced at the map, his brows furrowed tightly, and there was even a hint of panic on his face.

At present, the second regiment of honor has the fifth battalion, the sixth battalion, and the mortar company directly under the regimental headquarters in Doucun Town, and after a fierce battle, the fifth battalion has suffered heavy casualties, and Zhong Jian can command less than 1,000 troops, but he has to face the attack of two brigades of the Japanese army, and the pressure in Zhong Jian's heart can be imagined.

Zhong Jian is an old Red Army, he is not afraid of death at all, what he is most worried about is that he will fight all these troops.

"The first company has all been sacrificed, and the casualties of the fifth battalion are also very heavy, and many of the fifth battalion are old comrades of the county brigade. Chief of Staff, we are now going to be surrounded by little devils, but we can't give up Doucun Town, we can't let the little devils pass through Doucun Town. ”

Zhong Jian looked at the location of Doucun Town on the map, and he said in a solemn tone.

"Regiment commander, there are still a lot of fortifications in the town, and we should be able to hold on to the town for a while, but judging from the current situation of the Japanese army, they are willing to give up if they plan to completely destroy us. Chief of Staff Yue Wu looked at Zhong Jian, and he said with a heavy expression.

When Zhong Jian heard Yue Wu's words, he didn't make a decision immediately, and after being silent for a while, Zhong Jian was ready to give an order to stick to Doucun Town.

But just as Zhong Jian was about to give the order to defend Doucun Town, a communication soldier hurriedly came to Zhong Jian.

"Regiment commander, the division commander ordered us to immediately abandon Doucun Town, the main force of the regiment immediately transferred to Hutou Mountain, Siling Mountain and other areas to deploy defenses, the troops of the Fourth Regiment of Honor have begun to advance north, and they will soon be able to join us." After the communication soldier came to Zhong Jian, he immediately began to convey Sun Weiguo's order.

Sun Weiguo took into account the situation of the Honorary Second Regiment, and he gave Zhong Jian an order to abandon Doucun Town, while the main force of the Honorary Second Regiment was transferred to the two highlands of Hutou Mountain and Siling Mountain to deploy defenses and cooperate with the troops of the Honorary Fourth Regiment to fight.
