[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 216: Soldiers Coming to the City (Ask for Subscription)
The battle in Furong Dun Town continued, and it had been more than three hours since the battle began, although the Japanese fought very bravely, and Hideo Fukuda commanded quite well. However, due to the lack of artillery support, the lack of aviation to respond, and the absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, the 103rd Wing had already lost all the positions on the periphery by about 9 o'clock in the evening, and the troops suffered heavy losses.
Fukuda Hideo is now a head two old, and most of the night he heard the news of the loss of his position, so Tijin was compressed into the town and surrounded by the Shina army.
Although he should be able to hold out until tomorrow morning if he resists stubbornly from the houses in the town, Fukuda is not sure how many men will be left in his wing tomorrow morning.
According to the previous casualty statistics, his 103rd Wing had suffered more than 1,800 casualties, which was basically more than half of the casualties, and although only more than 700 people were killed in the battle, it still greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the troops. And it was barely four hours into the battle, and I couldn't imagine that his troops would be exhausted tomorrow morning.
In desperation, Hideo Fukuda asked the headquarters of the 101st Division for help and asked for operational guidance.
After receiving Hideo Fukuda's telegram asking for help, Yin Dongzheng was shocked, he originally thought that the 103rd Wing could last for one night, after all, in the previous battle, this wing was almost not hit, the establishment of 3,700 people was at full strength, and the weapons and ammunition had just been replenished, how to say that it could hold out for one night, even if the Chinese army dispatched a group army, he never thought that this time it would be unbearable for a few hours.
However, I thought that the 103rd Wing was dealing with that weird and terrifying demon general, and I thought of the army of the evil sect and the commander of the evil sect. Yin Dong Zhengxi had a headache, but fortunately, the 103rd Wing was not in a hurry, and Yin Dong Zhengxi immediately found the chief of staff and others to discuss countermeasures.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss in this matter at all, this is a single choice question, reinforcements are not this is no reinforcements, and if there are no reinforcements, the 103rd Wing may be annihilated. The strategic location of Furong Dun Town may not be guaranteed, and more importantly, the 103rd Wing is now surrounded by the Zhina, although it is not impossible to break through, but it is necessary to take a lot of risks, especially those wounded must not be taken away, so it is absolutely impossible not to reinforce them.
Since it is not possible to send reinforcements, the focus of the final discussion is who to send reinforcements and how to reinforce! There are two troops that can rush to Furongdun Town in a short time, one is the 123rd Wing of the 106th Division of Huanghua Town, and the other is the 157th Wing of the 101st Division stationed in Pengze County.
The problem now is that fewer people go there may not be able to achieve the purpose of rescue. You must know that the enemy besieging Furong Dun Town is about 10,000 people, and if you send a wing, your troops are still at a disadvantage, and you may not be able to turn the tide of the battle. But if two wings are sent to reinforce it, then Pengze County will be in a vacuum, and even if the Chinese army only sends one battalion, it is possible to take Pengze County.
After contacting the 106th Division in Madang Town, Yin Dong Zhengxi decided to send two brigades of the 123rd Wing and the 157th Wing to Furong Dun Town to reinforce the operation, leaving only one division headquarters and one infantry brigade defender in Pengze County.
Then the order was given to the 123rd and 157th Wings, and the two Japanese units immediately set off. Rush to Furong Dun Town.
Qingtou Mountain is located 15 kilometers from Furong Dun Town, which is a hill with a low altitude. Facing the lake on one side and a plain on the other, a wide avenue stretches from the foot of the mountain, connecting Furong Dun Town and Huanghua Town, which is dozens of miles away.
At half past eleven o'clock in the evening of August 2, after more than two hours of long-distance running, the 123rd Wing of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, which was ordered to reinforce the 103rd Wing, finally came to Qingtou Mountain.
See the looming hills and dense jungle ahead. The co-captain of the 123rd Wing, Shiniichi Tanaka, who was riding on a horse, turned his head to the adjutant and asked, "Yamada, where are you in front?" ”
"According to the map, it should be Qingtou Mountain on the outskirts of Furong Dun Town, which is less than fifteen kilometers away from the station of the 103rd Wing." Adjutant Captain Yamada replied immediately.
"Yo Xi, order the troops to pass as quickly as possible, the farmer in Futian is about to be unable to support it. We must get there as soon as possible! Shin'ichi Tanaka, who has always looked down on Hideo Fukuda's civilian background, said in a deep voice.
"Hay!"
On Qingtou Mountain, which was not far from the Japanese army, the guard regiment and other units that had been waiting for nearly five hours were already sharpening their knives, and all the units were ready for battle, and they only waited for the Japanese vanguard to pass through and directly attack their large forces.
Due to the terrain, this ambush could not directly set up a pocket for the enemy as before, so it was necessary to set up a position along the side of the mountain road, and when the Japanese army was about to pass through, it quickly opened fire, killing and wounding the enemy's living forces in the shortest possible time, and then carried out a hand-to-hand intersect to annihilate the rest of the enemy.
In order to strike at the enemy thoroughly and effectively, Ma Zheng deliberately transferred the newly formed fire support regiment to Xing Chao. The fire support regiment is mainly composed of heavy machine gun battalions, light machine gun battalions and artillery battalions, and is equipped with a total of 24 heavy machine guns, 36 light machine guns and 12 60mm mortars.
Soon, the vanguard of the Japanese army passed, followed by the main force of the 123rd Wing.
Xing Chao quickly calculated in his heart how many Japanese soldiers had entered the ambush position, and felt that it was almost enough, so he immediately pulled the trigger of the flare gun.
With a "bang", a red signal flare rose into the sky, and then, hundreds of tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the grass and trees near the side of the mountain road, and the sudden sound of machine guns pierced the quiet night sky of Qingtou Mountain.
The 123rd Wing was suddenly attacked, and a large number of troops immediately fell, and the remaining troops immediately fell to the ground and fought back. However, because the firepower and strength were not as good as those of the 7th Division, the casualties soared rapidly.
Tanaka was a little confused for a moment, and he was angry and had to order the troops to withdraw immediately, but the Shishan Road was built along the mountain, and no matter whether he walked forward or retreated, he could not escape the shooting.
At the same time, an unknown number of enemies suddenly appeared on the right side, and the 123rd Wing, which had only been fighting, was dizzy, feeling that there were enemies everywhere.
Twenty minutes later, the troops up and down the mountain simultaneously launched a charge against the Japanese troops in the encirclement, and the white-knuckle battle began.
At the same time, in No. 7, the 200th Regiment and the Third Supplementary Regiment commanded by Ma Zheng also exchanged fire with the Japanese 157th Wing, which was too weak compared to the 123rd Wing in the direction of Furong Dunzhen and Qingtou Mountain.
Although it is known as a wing, it is actually more than 2,000 people, and it is not equipped with artillery, how can it be the opponent of Ma Zheng's department. The battle was annihilated in less than an hour, and all but a few escaped in the darkness of the night.
At two o'clock in the morning on August 3, the gunfire in the direction of Qingtou Mountain gradually weakened, and then Ma Zheng's headquarters received a telegram from Xing Chao, completely annihilating the Japanese 123rd Wing and killing its commander Tanaka Shinichisa.
Later, Huang Sicheng of Furong Dun Town also sent a telegram, defeating the Japanese puppet army in front of him, annihilating most of them, and the enemy commander Fukuda Hideo led more than 500 people to break through and is now in pursuit.
At this time, Ma Zheng led his troops to the periphery of Pengze County and launched an attack on Pengze County. (To be continued.) )
