Chapter 251 Authentic
For the next day, the New First Army continued to send troops to take turns to launch offensives, advancing inch by inch into the city.

The Japanese defenders relied on various buildings in the urban area to resist desperately. Almost every house had to fight repeatedly, and the street fighting was very fierce.

Because the artillery shells carried by the artillery unit are almost exhausted, and the transportation will take time.

Moreover, in the street fighting, the fronts of both sides are staggered, and the shelling may accidentally injure one's own people, making the artillery unable to carry out shelling, and the artillery advantage is now completely lost.

The Japanese army was well aware of this and entangled with the attacking Xinyi Army as much as possible, forcing the opponent's artillery to be unable to bombard it.

This kind of street fighting in the city is the most tragic way of fighting.

The soldiers on both sides fought at a very close distance, and could only rely on bayonets and grenades to fight for their lives.

Miyamoto was very crazy, and would often order Japanese soldiers to be covered with explosives, rush to the crowd of the New First Army and detonate them, and carry out suicide charges.

Therefore, this battle was very difficult.

Often a position has just been occupied, and then it is taken back by a Japanese charge.

At the end of the day, the New First Army only advanced a few hundred meters.

The advance on the battlefield was slow, and Sun Liren was very annoyed when he received the battle report at night.

The next day, he personally inspected the front line by car, watched the attacks of various troops with binoculars, and determined that it was not caused by the slackness of the soldiers.

He could see that the Japanese army did not give up until they reached the Yellow River, and they were still frantically resisting.

Jia Youhui looked at Sun Liren, who had a bad face, and persuaded: "Brother Fumin (Sun Liren's word is Fumin), don't be impatient to fight. Everyone knows the madness of the Japanese army, and they will definitely stick to Xinwei. Take it down!"

Sun Liren took a deep breath, nodded, and admitted: "It seems that the fight went too smoothly a few days ago, I was a little impatient. You reminded well, since the Japanese army is going to fight to the death, then we will follow They have finished grinding, and with Xinwei's strength of less than 2000 troops, I don't believe how long they can last!"

Another day later, the New First Army advanced another 500 meters.

But at night, the area where the 89th regiment was stationed was suddenly attacked by a very powerful Japanese army, and the positions captured during the day were taken back again.

Moreover, the Japanese army came out of nowhere, and in the rush to fight, the 89th regiment suffered a big loss, losing nearly 100 people.

"What's going on?" Sun Li's face was livid with anger. Calculated in this way, today is equivalent to not making an inch of ground.

Zeng Qi explained: "The military seat is all my fault. I didn't hold the position. Please punish me!"

Sun Liren snorted coldly, these people are his capable generals, and he is really reluctant to punish them.

Jia Youhui said: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. According to the information given by the head of the regiment Zeng, this group of Japanese soldiers can touch the sentry post and enter the position without anyone noticing. Their strength is not ordinary!"

Zeng Qi said: "Army seat, deputy army seat, I guarantee that all the brothers in the 89th regiment are not cowards. We don't coward the little devils in bayonet fighting, but this time I can feel that these little devils are veterans of the battlefield. Very good at night combat and close combat!"

Tang Shouzhi speculated: "Could it be that Xinwei has recently arrived for reinforcements? After all, we only have three sides to encircle, and the 114th regiment has not yet reached the south encirclement area."

Li Hong looked at the map and also expressed his opinion: "Junzuo, I think this group of Japanese troops actually appeared from behind the 89th regiment. I think the Japanese army must have tunnels in Xinwei City. Little devils like digging mouse holes." The way."

Sun Liren stood up from his chair, took two steps back and forth, and said: "Well, it's possible. It seems that I underestimated the stubbornness of this group of enemies. Pass down the order and temporarily give up advancing. Tomorrow morning, immediately call all Senior officers, hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures."

……

When having breakfast the next day, Gao Fei also heard about what had happened to the 89th Regiment last night, and secretly sighed in his heart, one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, you fight over each other, and I don’t know how many people will die in a battle.

The advance regiment lost half of its strength because of this battle, and a reinforced regiment of 3000 people now has more than [-] people left.

Thinking about it, Gao Fei's heart was trembling. It was all because he was too greedy and wanted to eat Xinwei in one go, and it was also because the consecutive victories made him dizzy.

The lesson this time made him always keep in mind that he must be cautious at all times and must not be careless, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people will pay the price.

At this time McLuhan came over and said softly: "Wu Weiwei said that there is something important to report to you."

"Okay, I see, I'll go right away."

Gao Fei nodded and immediately returned to the regiment headquarters.

Seeing him coming, Wu Weiwei said directly: "I have already contacted the Burmese lurking in Xinwei City, and he provided us with a piece of information."

As he spoke, he took out a secret message, the first sentence of which said that three hundred reinforcements had arrived from Xinwei City.

Gao Fei already knew what happened last night, and based on this information, it can be judged that the group of Japanese troops who attacked the 89th regiment was probably the group.

He continued to look down, and the second sentence said that the Japanese army had dug a lot of tunnels in Xinwei City. If possible, he could act as an internal response and lead the New First Army from the entrance of the tunnels into the center of the city.

"Is this person reliable?"

Wu Weiwei knew Gao Fei's concerns, and said: "The source of the information is absolutely reliable, that person can not only speak Burmese, but also Japanese and Chinese, so when the Japanese called, he sneaked into Xinwei and became a translator. "

Gao Fei couldn't help but frown. The information doesn't look fake, but it's more dangerous to carry out. Once the matter is revealed, the personnel who enter the city will be close to death.

"I can't decide this matter, I still need to discuss it with Commander Sun."

"Okay. Then you go first."

Wu Weiwei knew that the matter was of great importance, and she should ask her superiors for instructions.

Afterwards, Gao Fei received a notice from the military correspondent, telling him to hurry to the forward headquarters for a meeting.

When I came to the forward headquarters in a jeep, it was already full of people.

The leader is Sun Liren, and on the left is the deputy army commander Jia Youhui.

Sitting opposite each other in two rows below, Tang Shouzhi, the commander of the New 30th Division, Wen Xiaoshan, the deputy division commander, and Wu Xingzhong, the chief of staff.

Li Hong, commander of the new 38th division, Chen Mingren, deputy commander, and He Junheng, chief of staff.

There are also some other staff members.

Gao Fei shouted a report outside, then walked in.

He found an empty chair at the end and sat down.

Seeing him coming, Sun Liren smiled slightly: "Since everyone has already arrived, don't waste time, I'll get straight to the point."

"You must have known what happened last night. The Japanese army went around behind the 89th regiment through a certain tunnel, and took back the captured position by surprise. Now, everyone will share your views."

After finishing speaking, Sun Liren glanced at everyone present.

Tang Shouzhi took the lead and said: "The enemy's move is quite vicious, and it is impossible to guard against."

Li Hongdao: "That's right. Even if we continue to push forward, we will be attacked by the Japanese army at night. The loss outweighs the gains. If we want to attack, we must go all out and completely take Xinwei City within a day." !"

Jia Youhui nodded: "I agree with Mr. Li, this group of Japanese soldiers must be eaten in one go, otherwise they will still fight back!"

Several other staff officers also expressed their thoughts.

Sun Liren listened carefully to the suggestions of these subordinates, and concluded: "According to the estimation of the Japanese army's defensive strength, it can only advance a distance of several hundred meters in one day. Big."

If you use human lives to fill in the top, of course you can win Xinwei, but many soldiers will die.

He couldn't bear to see the soldiers taking lives like this, and would give priority to ways to reduce casualties.
