Chapter 404: At Stake

Han Fei came to the outside of Taixing City with his troops, and saw that a group of officers dressed in the security regiment in front of him were looking up at this side, and a colonel officer in his fifties came over and said to Han Fei: "This must be Major Han, I am the head of the Taixing Security Corps, surnamed Cen, and I have been waiting here for a long time." ”

Captain Cen suddenly became polite, which made Liu Ruye very unaccustomed, originally he teased him twice, but after thinking about it, this place is also their territory, and they will still fight side by side with them to fight devils in the future.

Han Fei followed Captain Cen and them into Taixing City, and was arranged by Captain Cen to settle in the best inn in the city, Han Fei felt very unaccustomed, the devil is on the other side of the river, maybe he will be able to fight soon, let's not engage in these false, hurry up and study the battle situation and military situation, otherwise it will be too late when the devil mobilizes heavy troops to cross the river again.

This time, Captain Cen knew each other very well, and before Han Fei could speak, he immediately brought it up: "Major Han, in the battle of Xingang, Cen is convinced, he was a little different about this Liu brother before, and I hope to forgive me." You also know the security regiment, the local armed forces, most of the soldiers are local villagers, the weapons and equipment are poor, and the training is not much better, maintaining law and order is okay, but if you really want to go to the battlefield to fight against the little devils, it is estimated that it is not material, the spy company was famous when it was in Shanghai, this time I saw it with my own eyes, it was really extraordinary, Cen had a request, I don't know if Major Han can agree? ”

Han Fei had already heard Liu Ruye talk about this Cen Tuanzao, and as soon as he heard him say this, he nodded: "Cen Tuanzuo, you just talk about it." ”

"The soldiers are fine but not many, Cen wants to keep Taixing City, this is Cen Mou's hometown, but with the strength of the security regiment, it will definitely not be able to keep it, I hope that the spy company can be incorporated into the security regiment to protect Taixing and the people here from the suffering of devils." Head Cen was very sincere this time.

As soon as Han Fei heard this, it was exactly what he meant, just now he was thinking about how to incorporate the security regiment, although the combat effectiveness of the security regiment is weak, but after all, there are 2,000 men and horses, select some of them with good physique, train them, and supplement the strength of the special service company, but this has to be voluntarily incorporated before they can do it, otherwise it will be useful and strong, which is not good for the reputation of the special service company, and it is not conducive to the unity of the anti-Japanese war troops.

Now that Captain Cen himself has put forward this meaning, Han Fei of course nodded and agreed: "Thank you Captain Cen for your righteousness, I admire it, the little devil is about to cross the river to attack, we can unite as one, fight the enemy together, and keep Taixing City from being ruined by devils!" ”

Commander Cen is a cheerful person, and immediately called the four captains under him, the captain of the three major teams was seriously injured by the devils in Xingang, and was carried over, I heard that the spy company and the independent division have cleaned up the little devils who came across the river, and also caught a few devil captives, shouting to kill these devil captives and avenge his subordinates!

Regiment Commander Cen immediately announced that from today onwards, the security regiment will be incorporated by the special service company of the independent division of the Central Army, and the decision on whether the officers and men of the security regiment will stay or remain will be decided by the special service company; the security regiment is poorly equipped and cannot be trained, and it will not be able to fight against the Japanese devils who are about to attack, and only by being incorporated by a unit like the special service company can it keep its hometown of Taixing.

Hearing this decision, the officers under Commander Cen didn't feel very strange, they had already witnessed the courage of the independent division's spies to kill the devils in the battle of Xingang, and they were incorporated by such a force, maybe it was good luck, so that Taixing City could at least resist the devils for a while, and the villagers didn't need to flee their hometowns in a hurry to be refugees, right?

In this way, Han Fei immediately began to reorganize this security regiment, and transferred some of its capable officers and soldiers to form a battalion, so that Haizi and Li Dagang could undergo strict training, and those who did not meet the standards were eliminated, and those who were eliminated were eliminated together with the soldiers of the other security regiment to maintain law and order with the police in the city, and used them as mobile troops.

The Matsushima devils soon learned the news that the Oshima devils were surrounded by the squadron in Xingang and all the troops were annihilated, and they were so angry that they opened the way of the fleet's warships near the blocked channel, desperately bombarded the other side of the river with naval guns, and after venting, they retreated in disgrace.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the bombers taking off from the devil's aircraft carrier, a large number of devil soldiers attacked the fort from all directions of the fort, and the division commander took the remaining more than 700 independent division brothers to defend desperately, fiercely fighting with the devil soldiers for every position outside the fort, and suffered heavy casualties.

Several of the fortress guns on the fort have been blown up by the devil bombers, and the artillery brothers have suffered heavy casualties, but they still hold on to the fort, and use the remaining fortress guns to bombard the devil infantry, blowing up a wall of smoke in front of the position, killing and wounding a large number of devil soldiers, and helping the infantry to repel the devil's onslaught again and again.

In the afternoon of the third day, there were only a hundred of the 700 brothers under the division commander, and only one main turret was left in the position, and the west main turret had been occupied by a wing of the devils on the middle island, and the more than 100 brothers sent by the division commander to garrison there were all killed there. Reduced to ashes, those German-made Krupp fortress guns were also blown to pieces and ceased to exist.

The captain of the devil wing who occupied the position found that all the cannons on the battery had been blown up, leaving only the ruins full of corpses, especially those who resisted to the end, none of them retreated and surrendered, this kind of tenacity, made this old devil also feel a burst of anxiety in his heart, and the fragile squadron in his eyes became difficult to deal with in an instant.

There is still a fort that has not been taken down, and the battle situation is reported to the Nakajima devil, and Nakajima ordered the captain of the wing who captured the West Fort: concentrate his forces to attack the East Battery, and annihilate all the recalcitrant squadrons!

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark and the planes could not provide fire support and bombing, attacking the East Battery would inevitably cause a large number of infantry casualties, so he suggested to Nakajima: "Siege the East Battery, and wait until tomorrow dawn to launch a general attack!" ”
