Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 564 Help Baijia Town!
At noon, Zhou Weiguo was still more than 40 miles away from Changzhou.

However, at this moment, I received a call from Master Huo of the 112th Division.It turned out that he already knew about the reinforcements.

Commander Huo asked the headquarters for reinforcements. The 112th Division of the Japanese Army had already exchanged fire with a regiment of the 103th Division and a regiment of the 23rd Division in the Womachuan area, and the enemy [-]rd Regiment was preparing to bypass Womachuan area, conduct roundabout operations against Baijia Town.

Once Baijia Town is lost, not to mention the Womachuan area, even Changzhou City will become a deadly land.

So Master Huo sent a battalion to support Baijia Town, and at the same time asked the headquarters for reinforcements.

The response from the headquarters was that reinforcements had left the city earlier and should be on their way.So Mr. Huo quickly contacted Zhou Weiguo to go to Baijia Town to support and defend Baijia Town.

Looking at the telegram, Zhou Weiguo frowned slightly, because what he was most worried about still happened.

The powerful force that was deployed around the Dragon Boat Festival was actually for mobile warfare, that is, through continuous movement on the battlefield to enhance the strength of one's own troops and inflict heavy damage on multiple targets of the enemy.

But this strong team was ordered to defend Baijia Town before they arrived in Changzhou City.

But this order cannot be refused, because once Baijia Town is occupied by the Japanese army, it will directly affect the entire Changzhou defense line operations.

"Changing the road, aiming at Baijia Town."

"Yes!"

Zhou Weiguo ordered the convoy to turn around and rush to Baijia Town.

But at the same time, the battle between Baijia Town and the devils has already started.

But this battle was not the Japanese army attacking Baijia Town, but the fierce exchange of fire between the vanguard of the devils and the defenders in the outer positions of Baijia Town.

The little devil was still incomparably arrogant, using his advantage in firepower to bombard the defenders' positions frantically.

A company of the Baijiazhen garrison suffered heavy losses under the cover of Japanese artillery fire.Although they built fortifications, they were only temporary.In many places, the trenches are less than one meter long, and there are not many traffic trenches, let alone bomb shelters, and there are no foxholes.

So people hiding in the trenches can only hide from the enemy's bullets, but the artillery fire of the Japanese army, that's okay.

And this is also a common problem of many local troops. When fighting, they are not willing to work hard to dig trenches. Even before the battle is fought, they are ready to retreat early.

So under the bombardment of the Japanese artillery, half of the defender's platoon was destroyed.

The officers of the defending army were quite courageous, and they didn't pee their pants in shock from the little devil's artillery fire.But in the next Japanese attack, they were still restrained everywhere.

The defenders are just local troops. Although they are regular troops, they are not much stronger than the security regiment.

The soldiers heard that the little devil was good at fighting with bayonets, and the frightened enemy opened fire before they even got close.But 200 meters away, the bullets flew away, and the little devil was the only one who missed.

But the well-trained little devils are different. Their hit rate can reach nearly 200% when shooting 8 meters, and this is why on the Chinese battlefield, many times the devils rushed to the battlefield and found that there was no one on the Chinese battlefield. up.

The reason is here, the Chinese soldiers are using their own shortcomings to compete with the strengths of the devils, causing a lot of casualties to themselves, but the little devils did not die many people.

These soldiers and officers on the outskirts of Baijia Town also made the same mistake, so the battle only lasted less than an hour and ended.

The Japanese army rushed to the position, and there were no survivors in the entire company except for more than [-] wounded soldiers who were captured.

They were surrounded in a depression in a position, and the little devil stood on the trench and laughed at the Chinese as the sick men of East Asia.

And the devil's officer asked in unproficient Chinese: "How many defenders are there in Baijia Town, and the ratio of weapons, tell me everything."

The wounded soldiers glared at them. Although some of them were timid, and some even had their legs trembling with fright, they were mentally prepared for this battle.

They leaned closely together, and none of them spoke out the secret that the little devil wanted to know.

The devil officer was very angry: "Baga, your conscience is greatly broken, you are all dead!"

"Little devil, I will fight with you!"

A wounded soldier talked about the rifle in his hand and rushed to the top of the trench to fight the devils.

boom!Boom!

The devil opened fire and killed the wounded soldier directly.But this became the fuse of a massacre.

The devils set up machine guns above the trenches and fired at the wounded soldiers in the trenches together with more than fifty devils.

The wounded soldiers roared and wanted to fight the devils desperately with the only weapons in their hands, but they couldn't cross the gap in front of them and were shot to death by the devils.

The entire outer positions of Baijia Town fell, and the first brigade of the Japanese army continued to march towards Baijia Town.

The defenders of Baijia Town have received the final message of the fall of the position. More than 100 strong men bloodied the battlefield, which made the defenders in Baijia Town extremely indignant.

Li Guoqiang, commander of the 112st Battalion of the 672nd Regiment of the [-]th Division, and Wang Battalion Commander of the Baijia Town Garrison Battalion are discussing urgently. The Japanese are approaching the city and how to fight this battle.

Li Guoqiang said: "The fifth division of the Japanese army is fighting us head-on. This division has suffered a lot of blood and debts and killed many innocent people. Therefore, the most urgent task is to evacuate the people. Otherwise, once the Japanese army enters the city, the consequences will be disastrous."

Commander Wang said: "This matter is already underway, but there are many elderly people who are unwilling to leave, especially the old patriarch of Baijia Town. A few, what can the little Japanese devil do to him?"

Li Guoqiang said speechlessly: "What can devils do? They can kill people. People must be sent out of the city, otherwise once devils come in, wouldn't they just wait to die? This Fifth Division is not made up to deceive children. And Our soldiers also told them that they must not fall into the hands of these devils, otherwise their lives would be worse than death."

Battalion Commander Wang sighed and said, "Then I'll go in person, let's talk about it, but can we hold Baijia Town with less than 800 people?"

Li Guoqiang said: "Don't worry, the division has already asked for help from Nanjing. The reinforcements will definitely arrive."

"hope so!"

Battalion Commander Wang expressed his hope and was about to leave the headquarters, but at this moment, a communications soldier ran in and reported: "Report to the camp, Zhou Weiguo's department is calling, they will arrive within two hours Baijia Town will provide support, and we hope that our department will stick to it and wait for help."

"Great!"

Battalion Commander Wang clenched his fists and almost jumped up.Because the reinforcements came just in time.A brigade of the Japanese army had just approached the city, and reinforcements were about to arrive, and they could catch the Japanese army by surprise.

I just don't want to, the Japanese army has already deciphered the original code, and at the same time as Baijia Town received the telegram, the Japanese military's communication department also sent the intercepted telegram to the old devil Banheng.

Ban Heng smiled slightly: "Order the 23rd Regiment to send a brigade to bypass Baijia Town to intercept the support soldiers, heh heh heh, I'm afraid the Chinese people would never have dreamed of it? We have already deciphered their secret code!"
