Chapter 1233: Blocking the Outside of the County

As the Japanese commander Shaozuo gave the order to evacuate, the little devils stationed on the city wall began to leave.

A No. 4 tank quickly rushed towards the city gate, but as soon as the tank entered the city gate, a Japanese anti-tank gun quickly began to shoot, and the armor-piercing shell hit the Japanese tank directly, and the armor-piercing shell hit the No. 4 tank directly, and the No. 4 tank stopped and blocked the city gate.

The rest of the tanks were temporarily unable to enter the city gates, and if they wanted to continue the charge, they needed to clear the tank.

More than a dozen officers and men of the armored infantry regiment immediately began to disembark, and they moved towards the city gate with rifles, but as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were subjected to heavy fire.

The bullets came like rain, and the three soldiers did not hide in time and were killed on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers immediately hid behind the destroyed tank, so that they were not hit.

"The tank rushes over, increases the throttle, and pushes the destroyed tank inside."

Fang Chaoqun, the commander of the 201st Division, had a solemn expression on his face, and he gave an order in a serious tone.

As Fang Chaoqun gave the order, a No. 4 tank began to start, and this No. 4 tank increased the throttle and drove directly towards the city gate, and the destroyed tank began to be pushed.

"Boom, boom." THE LITTLE DEVILS IN THE CITY ALSO REALIZED SOMETHING, AND FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS FIRED AT THE SAME TIME, AND ONE AFTER ANOTHER ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS FIRED AT THE TANK.

But the armor-piercing shell hit the destroyed tank in front, and the tank in the back was not affected much.

However, just as the tank was about to rush into the county, the destroyed tank in front began to detonate its internal ammunition, and a huge explosion sounded, and the flames soared into the sky.

The turret exploded high and flew into the air, then quickly fell to the ground, and one of the No. 4 tanks that pushed the destroyed tank behind was affected, the tracks were destroyed, and the tank could not move on.

But the armored troops inside quickly began to turn the turret, using tank guns to strike at the exposed fire points of the Japanese army.

At this time, dozens of officers and soldiers quickly began to rush over, and the soldiers were holding rifles and machine guns to shoot and suppress the Japanese fire points.

However, the tank with damaged tracks did not move in place, which became the target of the little devil anti-tank gun, and the little devil's four anti-tank guns immediately began to shoot, and the tank was destroyed again, and in a short period of ten minutes, the Chinese troops paid the price of two No. 4 tanks here at the city gate, and the commander of the 201st Division, Fang Chaoqun, had to start to stop the attack.

In the county seat of Huaxian County, the regimental headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army.

Lieutenant General Chang Nachengyi had a cold expression on his face, and he looked at the 23rd Brigade Major General Brigade Yuan Shou Sande and the 35th Brigade Major General Sang Ming Zhaoji.

After Yuan Shousande saw the expression on Jiunacheng's face, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the division commander's gaze, after all, the loss of the outer position of Huaxian County was completely his responsibility.

"An infantry brigade strengthened a baggage wing and an engineer wing, but it held the outer positions for less than two days, and let the Chinese troops be annihilated by a wing, which is simply the greatest shame of the Imperial Army, and the 23rd Brigade is simply a shame for the entire Imperial Army."

Seeing Yuan Shousande bowing his head, Jiunacheng's face became even more angry, and he reprimanded in a cold tone.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Hara Shousande immediately bowed respectfully and said.

"Your Excellency the division commander, now the East City Gate has been broken by the Zhina troops, and now they are attacking the city, but we have deployed the 35th Brigade and the 114th Wing here at the East City Gate, but judging from the fierce attack of the Zhina troops, I am afraid that relying on the 114th Wing alone, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Zhina troops, and we must strengthen our defense."

When the division commander Changna Chengyi reprimanded the original Shousande, the chief of staff of the 18th Division said in a solemn tone.

As soon as Jiuna Castle heard the words of Chief of Staff Osa, he looked at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After being silent for a while, Jiuna Chengyi pointed to the East City Gate and said: "The troops of the 35th Brigade are responsible for concentrating on the defense of the breached East City Gate, and the Fourth Brigade of the Field Artillery Wing is reinforced and pushed to the 35th Brigade, Sang Mingjun, you must defend the East City Gate, and you must not let the Chinese troops rush in." The troops of the 23rd Brigade reinforced the baggage wing, and the engineer wing defended the other city gates. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The commander of the 23 Brigade Major General and Brigade Yuan Shou Sande and the commander of the 35 Brigade Major General Sang Ming Teruji immediately saluted and said.

"Chief of Staff, immediately contact the aviation unit and ask them to immediately concentrate on bombing the follow-up units of the China Army, and it is absolutely impossible to let many China troops get close to the county seat."

Jiuna Cheng looked at Chief of Staff Osa, and he gave an order with a serious expression.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Chief of Staff Osa's immediate salute said.

When the battle order was issued in Jiunacheng, the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Hara Shousande and the commander of the 35th Brigade Major General Sang Ming Teruji immediately left the division headquarters.

AFTER SANG MINGZHAOER RETURNED TO HIS BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS, HE IMMEDIATELY ORDERED THE TWO 57MM ANTI-TANK GUNS THAT HAD BEEN STRENGTHENED AT THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS AND THE FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS OF THE 124TH WING TO IMMEDIATELY STRENGTHEN THE 114TH WING.

THREE INFANTRY BRIGADES OF 114 WING, TEN 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, TWO 57MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO BE DEPLOYED HERE AT THE EAST CITY GATE.

Two infantry battalions were concentrated near the East City Gate, and as soon as Chinese troops entered, they would immediately start firing.

The Japanese troops firmly defended the East City Gate, and although the East City Gate was breached, it was still very difficult for the tank troops to enter here.

Even though the 5th Panzer Regiment, the Panzer Infantry Regiment, and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment arrived here one after another, they still could not enter here.

Only one tank can pass through the city gate, and if the tanks pass through here one after another, they will definitely become a live target for the little devils.

Fang Chaoqun, the commander of the 201st Division, looked nearby, and he began to ponder, but while he was pondering, the little devil aviation unit began to come.

Dozens of fighters and bombers began to come to the skies over Huaxian, and the little devil fighters began to look for Chinese fighters for a decisive battle, while the bombers bombed the follow-up troops.

The fighter units of the Chinese Air Force have begun to evacuate, and the little devil planes have not encountered fighters when they came here, and these devil fighters have also begun to strafe at low altitudes.

Rows of bullets came at the ground, and the troops of the three regiments of the Honorable Fourth Division, who wanted to quickly reinforce the past, were intercepted, and they could not continue to advance.

"Army commander, what's going on with the 201st Division, they haven't entered the county town for a long time." Xie Hui, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, came to Yin Jinshan, and he said to Yin Jinshan.
