Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The east gate of Pingding is made of iron and wood, more than 20 centimeters thick. This thing can't even prevent machine gun fire, let alone the blasting of explosives.

If the angle is limited, the 75mm caliber high-level dual-purpose artillery only needs one shot, and it will be blasted to pieces immediately.

The blasters from the first battalion placed several explosive packs under the city gate, lit the fuse, and ran out immediately.

Almost as soon as they hid in the safe positions on both sides of the city gate cave, several huge explosions came from the city gate cave.

I saw that the city gate was directly blown to pieces, and the broken pieces of wood were scattered everywhere with the impact of the explosion, and some even flew out of the city gate hole.

Immediately, about a row of soldiers immediately took cover alternately and rushed in through the city gate hole that was still filled with gunpowder smoke.

The first battalion has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, firepower, and even geographical location.

Occupying the city wall, isn't it just occupying a favorable position?

Although the Watanabe Squadron is a strengthened squadron with 5 squads, its strength is less than 300 people. Among them, a squadron will be assigned to guard the west gate, and the ones killed by the first round of bombardment by armored trains will be removed. Dozens of devils.

Today, there are only more than 150 devil infantrymen who are fighting stubbornly near the east gate, plus more than 200 devils from the gendarmerie.

The Japanese army had less than 400 troops at full strength.

As for the puppet troops of the security regiment, they can be completely ignored.

These guys may not be very effective in combat, but they are very good at analyzing the situation.

They have long seen that the Watanabe Squadron is no good, and in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from occupying Pingding County, they will retaliate against them.

These puppet troops either didn't fire a single shot at all, or pointed their guns at the sky or the ground, and they didn't work at all.

As more and more Eighth Route Army rushed to the city wall and suppressed it with guns.

There were also grenadiers who also climbed up the city wall and launched fixed-point bombardment on the devils' firepower points in the city.

The battle situation has been completely controlled by the new regiment.

Then, the first battalion took the east gate as the attacking position, advancing step by step into the city.

As more and more fighters of the first battalion rushed into the city, more and more devils were killed, and the battle situation finally developed in a one-sided situation, and the new regiment moved forward faster and faster .

Soon they occupied the entire east of the city and continued to move forward. As for the devils and puppet troops in the city, they kept retreating and relying on the barricades built in advance to stop them layer by layer, trying to persist until dawn and until dawn. Their air force arrived for reinforcements.

If it were replaced by ordinary Eighth Route Army troops, perhaps the devil's strategy would still succeed. Unfortunately, what they encountered was a new regiment, a new regiment with an artillery company.

Barricades built with sandbags are as fragile as garbage in front of mortars.

"Boom!"

As soon as the cannon shot down, several sandbags would be blown apart. As for the devil soldiers behind the sandbags, even their weapons and weapons were blown out.

"Come on, kill!"

Shocking shouts of killing resounded throughout the east of Pingding City for a while.

……

Outside the west gate of Pingding County, listening to the sound of various guns and cannons in the city, Zhang Dabiao was in a good mood, and the second battalion commander Shen Quan was in a bad mood. …

A company commander next to him also said anxiously: "Battle commander, why should the first battalion eat meat and attack mainly, while our second battalion can only block the devil's retreat outside the west gate, why are you watching?

Why don't you know how to fight for it in front of the leader? "

Shen Quan, who was already in an extremely upset mood, became even more upset when he heard the complaint from his company commander: "You are upset, I am even more upset than you! Do you think I didn't fight for it?
That's an order from the head of the group. What can I do? "

After finishing speaking, Shen Quan took a few puffs of cigarettes again, as if he wanted to vent all his suffocation on the cigarette in his hand.

Hearing this, the company commander could only shut his mouth helplessly.

The order of the head of the regiment is the imperial decree in Xinyituan.

If it was an order from the political commissar, if they dared to disobey it, at worst they would be criticized.

But they absolutely dare not disobey the order of the regiment leader Li Yunlong.

Shen Quan said again: "Order each company to hide in the dark for me, and not to be exposed!"

"I estimate that after the fall of the county, the devils on the west gate will probably abandon the city and flee. Maybe our second battalion can get a mouthful of soup."

"Yes! Battalion Commander."

Several company commanders suddenly agreed, and then passed on the order.

……

The screen zooms to the city.

Watanabe Squadron Headquarters.

The headquarters of the Watanabe Squadron is located in the center of the city, which is also the original county government.

After the Japanese army occupied Pingding County, they occupied it and used it as their supreme command.

At this time, a ghost second lieutenant suddenly rushed in from the outside. His face had completely lost the arrogance of being a "Tailord" in the past, and replaced it with a look of panic.

"Squadron leader, something is wrong! The East City Gate has fallen, and the Tuba Road has entered the city!"

"Although the imperial army is still trying to stop it, the Tuba Road has too many troops. Among them, the 1st team has been destroyed, and the casualties of the 2nd and 3rd teams have exceeded half. In addition, the 4th team The squad, as well as the gendarmerie as a reserve, also suffered more than one-third of the casualties..."

Before the shelling ended, Kogoro Watanabe knew that the Eighth Route Army would launch a siege soon.

Originally, he also tried to concentrate firepower to block the Eighth Route Army from the gap in the city wall.

But with the sound of guns and guns approaching, especially the report of the devil second lieutenant, the last illusion in his heart was also shattered.

Shinpei Nojiri asked, "Squadron leader, what should we do now?"

Kogoro Watanabe lowered his head and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Turn in, turn in from the west gate!"

"what?"

Nojiri Shinpei was taken aback for a moment, he obviously did not expect the squadron leader Kogoro Watanabe to make such a decision.

Because they disobeyed the orders of their superiors and fled, it was an extremely shameful thing for the Japanese army who regarded honor as their life.

fqxsw.
"But it's an order from the headquarters?"

Perhaps because the decision has been made, there is no burden in his heart, and Kogoro Watanabe's face has eased a lot, he said: "Of course the orders of the headquarters cannot be disobeyed, and the glory of our Great Japanese Imperial Army must not be lost.

But the loss of Pingding County is inevitable now. If we continue to resist, except for all the jade fragments here, it will be meaningless to the whole battle situation. Your Excellency, Commander, does not know what happened here. "

"But if we stay useful and break out, we can report what happened here to His Excellency the Commander, and let him have a certain understanding of the Eighth Route Army."

After a pause, Watanabe Kogoro changed the subject, and continued: "So, we turned to break through, not only not deserters, but heroes of the empire, at least our 1st Army!"
