I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 213 Call me!
Due to the annihilation of the entire army of the 28th Regiment, the main force of the Japanese army in the south of the city was deterred.

In addition, the Huben Regiment was stationed in the south gate for cover, and Xu Yuanquan's troops, the troops left behind in the original Hefei area, and tens of thousands of people all evacuated at night.

At about five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still a little gray.

Chief of Staff Liang Shan hurried to the top of the city, and reported to Xu Qingfeng, who had been up all night and led the troops to guard the top of the city, saluted: "Tuan Zuo, all the people in the city were evacuated an hour ago.

The two friendly regiments at the East Gate and the West Gate were also ordered to start moving north. Now we are the only regiment in Hefei. "

"Everyone has been evacuated?" Xu Qingfeng felt relieved and said, "Then our Tiger and Ben regiment can start a battle with the little devils."

Liang Shan was a little surprised and said: "Tuanzuo, Commander Xu's troops and the people of Hefei have already evacuated, shouldn't we also evacuate as soon as possible?

Why do you want to stay and continue fighting with the devils? "

Xu Qingfeng said: "If we withdraw at this time, the devils will definitely take advantage of the situation and pursue them.

Maybe we can escape in the end, but the people will be left hanging.

Therefore, in order to provide sufficient evacuation time for the people who have moved out of Hefei City.

We must hold on for one more day in Hefei and choose an opportunity to break out tomorrow night! "

Lin Baoguo, deputy chief of staff and commander of the 5th Battalion, agreed: "You are right, how far can the common people walk in one hour?
If the devils chased him, they would definitely not be able to escape.

I agree to stay and stick to it for another day! "

Liang Shan said worriedly: "But now we are the only regiment defending Hefei.

Once the Japanese find that other troops have withdrawn, they will definitely surround Hefei City.

When the time comes, can we break out on our own?"

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, you don't have a thorough understanding of the current combat effectiveness of our Tiger Regiment!"

"If nothing else, we already have a tank battalion. Have you forgotten how powerful tanks are?"

Liang Shan said: "However, the tank battalion has not formed combat effectiveness yet."

Xu Qingfeng said: "You can rest assured about this, there is one tank leading the way, and the other tanks can be used as armored vehicles, and they can also burst out with great power.

Tank cannons are not good at shooting, but we have plenty of machine gunners! "

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfeng immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Send someone to notify the tank battalion, supply battalion, and field hospital immediately, and quickly enter the city to join the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!" Seeing that Xu Qingfeng had made up his mind, Liang Shan saluted again, and immediately took orders to leave.

Xu Qingfeng said to Lin Baoguo again: "Old Lin, you go outside the city and tell Wei Guo and Sun Kui that the devils will definitely attack later, let them hide.

Bring the devil close, and then beat his mother hard.

After giving the Japanese a greeting gift, we all retreated into the city, and we started fighting in the streets with the Japanese! "

"Yes, I'll go right away." Lin Baoguo also accepted the order happily, and after saluting, he quickly turned around and ran down the city.

Only then did Xu Qingfeng raise his binoculars and take a bird's-eye view outside the city.

He was not worried at all about the Huben regiment holding on to Hefei for one day.

Because today's Huben Regiment, after the baptism of actual combat during this period of time, the recruits have grown up rapidly.

They have almost gotten along with the veterans. The most important thing is that the Huben regiment has now replaced some American equipment.

It also has ten powerful Sherman tanks, as well as a very sufficient supply of ammunition and fuel.

Therefore, the current Huben Regiment has more than 4000 people, and its combat effectiveness is definitely better than Xu Yuanquan's No. 20 Sixth Army.

In addition, he has a group of outstanding mid-level and junior officers with rich practical experience and excellent command skills on the battlefield.

If you keep it for a day, it won't be a big problem.

What Xu Qingfeng wants to do next is how to kill as many devils as possible with the least casualties within one day.

Inflict heavy damage on as many Japanese troops as possible, and it is best to cripple these Japanese troops so that they will be unable to cross Hefei in a short period of time and continue their roundabout attacks to the north.

Thus, for the Guangxi army's defense line north of the Huaihe River, reduce the pressure, and indirectly support the battle in the area north of Xuzhou.

Therefore, after observing the situation outside the city for a while.

Xu Qingfeng put down the binoculars again, and told Chen Qifeng, the commander of the guard company who was guarding behind him, "Ah Feng, inform the artillery battalion that after the devil's attack begins, the firepower will be fully opened, and a wave of artillery fire will be ruthlessly sent to the little devil." Raid.

After the shelling was over, they were quickly dispersed and concealed in various places in the city to prevent enemy artillery and air strikes from retaliating. "

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng responded, and quickly sent a guard to act as a messenger to deliver orders to the artillery camp.

On the Huben regiment's side, the net was open and ready for a head-on attack.

An unnamed mound in the south of the city, inside the temporary joint headquarters of the Japanese army.

Shoichi Tanabe and Rei Takamori also summoned a large number of officers above the rank of major and began to discuss the next offensive.

After everyone arrived, Ling Yingsen stood up first and said: "After reconnaissance by our scouts, we learned that a Chinese army reinforcement has indeed entered Hefei.

Now the Hefei garrison has been strengthened! "

As soon as Takamori finished speaking, a captain of the Colonel-General stood up and asked: "General, how many reinforcements are there for the Chinese Army? Which army is it?"

Ying Senling shook his head with an uneasy face and said: "It's not clear yet, because our scouts made a detour to the north of Hefei from east to west last night for reconnaissance.

He was jointly strangled by the cavalry and scouts of the Chinese Army, and failed to obtain more valuable information.

But it is certain that the defenders in Hefei did receive reinforcements.

Judging from the fact that this reinforcement can severely damage the 28th Infantry Regiment within half an hour.

Their strength is at least one division, and it is a very well-equipped division. "

Tanabe Shoichi on the side nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, otherwise, my 28th Infantry Regiment would not have lost so many troops in such a short period of time."

The Japanese colonel who had just asked the question continued to ask for instructions: "In that case, should we continue to attack?

Or call for reinforcements? "

"Of course we will attack!" Takamori said in a terrified voice: "Although the 28th Infantry Regiment no longer exists, we still have more than [-] people, and the main force still exists.

Even if the Chinese defenders receive reinforcements, we are still capable of breaking through their defenses and wiping them all out! "

Tanabe Noboru nodded and said: "Yo Xi, General Takamori is right, the situation of the 28th Regiment was just an accident.

They were ambushed, and the cunning China Army was definitely no match for us in a frontal decisive battle. "

“Besides, it’s getting dark now, and we can get strong air fire support from the aviation force.

It's easy to break through the city defenses of Hefei and eliminate the defenders in the city! "

The words of the old Japs Tanabe aroused the approval of many Japs officers present.

Although the 28th Wing was destroyed, it was ambushed and was in a very unfavorable terrain environment.

If there is a battle, the front is hard steel.

The Chinese army on the opposite side must not be their opponent.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, the high-ranking Japanese army present made an almost meaningless decision to continue to attack and take Hefei.

Since the Tanabe detachment had lost one of its main infantry regiments, the task of leading the battle naturally fell on the Takamori detachment.

As the leader of the detachment, Takamori Ling did his part, and ordered one of the Zhongzuo officers present: "Kuanze-kun, you will lead an infantry brigade to launch an attack from the south of the city to the south gate of Hefei.

General Tanabe and I, as well as the main forces, will sweep the formation and provide support and fire cover for you!
In addition, the chariot brigade sent four more Type [-] chariots to cover their attack! "

"Hay!" Lieutenant Kuansawa suddenly nodded, and immediately turned around and left the command post.

About 10 minutes later, Zhongzuo Kuansawa led about 800 devil infantry, with the coordination of four Type [-] tanks.

There was a long line of skirmishers, advancing toward the south of Hefei City in a mighty manner.

At this time, Zhou Weiguo was having breakfast with Sun Kui and Zhang Zhijian in the temporary forward command post outside the city.

Suddenly, Xu Hu, the deputy company commander of the guard company who was in charge of observing the enemy's situation, shouted excitedly: "Devil, the devil is on the move!"

Zhou Weiguo and the others immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up in unison, and walked to the observation post.

Take out the binoculars and look to the south.

At the same time, Xu Qingfeng, Liang Shan, and Lin Baoguo on the top of the city also discovered the movements of the Japanese and were observing the enemy's situation with binoculars.

Zhou Weiguo glanced briefly, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, order all companies to prepare for battle!"

"Yes!" The two battalion commanders, Sun Kui and Zhang Zhijian, accepted the order in unison and left.

Lieutenant Zuo Kuansawa led his troops to a position about 500 meters away from the national army position outside the south gate, and raised his hand to signal the troops to stop.

He raised his telescope and looked south of the city for a while, but found nothing unusual.

He then ordered a Japanese major next to him: "Mr. Murakami, you lead a squadron in front, and I will lead the main force to follow up, just in case something unexpected happens!"

"Hai!" The Japanese Major paused suddenly, immediately pulled out his saber, and led nearly two hundred Japanese infantrymen to take the lead in continuing the dispatch.

Holding bayonets in hand, they first passed four of their own tanks, and then formed a skirmish line and walked at the front of the team.

Because the distance is still relatively far, the devils will not charge as soon as they come up.

Generally speaking, they have to advance slowly until they are about 300 meters away from the target, and then decide whether to charge based on the situation.

In some special terrains, you can even advance to a range of [-] meters before charging.

Otherwise, if you sprint 500 meters with a weight of tens of catties, half of your physical strength will be consumed before the battle begins. How can you fight with a bayonet?

This is a disaster for devils who are keen on fighting bayonets and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

After Major Murakami led a squadron of devils, they advanced about [-] meters.

The cunning Lieutenant Colonel Kanzawa led two other infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron, and under the cover of four Type [-] tanks, continued to advance and follow.

Lin Baoguo, who was standing next to Xu Qingfeng on the top of the city, saw this scene through the telescope and couldn't help but said in surprise: "The little devil is really cunning!

Now the frontline troops, there is no way to eat more of them in one go! "

Xu Qingfeng squinted his eyes, closely observed the movements of the battlefield, and said with a smile: "Don't be so greedy. If you can eat the two hundred or so Japs at the front, you will already be very profitable.

After all, today's battle has just begun! "

After saying that, Xu Qingfeng suddenly put down the telescope, turned to Lin Baoguo with a smile and continued: "What's more, you forgot, there is a reinforced artillery battalion behind us.

Even if they can't wipe out all of these 800-odd Japs, half of them will die! "

Lin Baoguo nodded suddenly: "Oh, yes, I forgot about the artillery battalion. Damn it, it was us who were bombarded by the Japanese in the past.

Habitually acquiesced, we have no artillery. "

"Hahaha, Lao Lin, this is not acceptable. As a qualified commander, you must have a clear mind and be able to fully calculate the use of troops and firepower."

Xu Qingfeng made a joke, and continued to raise the binoculars to observe the enemy's situation.

While they were talking, nearly 200 Japanese infantrymen led by Major Murakami at the front had advanced to less than [-] meters from the forward position outside the city.

Moreover, it can be clearly seen that the Japanese soldiers have speeded up their pace invisibly.

Although there is no official charge yet, the advancement speed is much faster than before.

Xu Qingfeng was not surprised by this situation and was not worried.

Outside the city, Xu Qingfeng, Sun Kui, and Zhang Zhijian were sitting in command.

Needless to say, Zhou Weiguo's ability to command and respond is better than him if you look at the whole group.

Sun Kui and Zhang Zhijian followed his old subordinates who fought all the way from Sihang Warehouse.

Among the officers of the entire Huben regiment, their command ability and experimental experience should be second only to himself and Zhou Weiguo.

As the head of the group, he only needs to coordinate the overall situation and watch the show.

Sure enough, Zhou Weiguo was not idle.

Taking advantage of the gap when the Japanese advanced, in order to facilitate the command, he took Xu Hu and others and left the temporary command post at the back.

With a low waist, he came to a trench at the forefront, and successfully joined Sun Kui and others who led a battalion of officers and soldiers to hide and lurk here.

As soon as he saw Zhou Weiguo, Sun Kui couldn't help but ask: "Vice Captain Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and signaled: "Don't worry about this, tell the brothers, put the devil within 80 meters before firing.

Concentrate your firepower on the front group of devils. "

Sun Kui said: "You don't care about those devils behind you?"

"Don't worry about it for now, there is an artillery camp!" Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice while inspecting a Thompson submachine gun he had brought: "Let's concentrate our firepower first and eliminate the two hundred or so Japs at the front."

Sun Kui nodded, and immediately bent his waist and personally led the people to convey Zhou Weiguo's order.

After checking the weapons, Xu Hu quietly revealed half of his head, observing the movement of the Japanese troops outside the position, and was responsible for reporting.

"150 meters, 120 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters... 70 meters!"

As Xu Hu announced the last call, Zhou Weiguo immediately yelled: "Hit me!"

Before he finished speaking, he took the lead in holding a Thompson submachine gun, stood up from the trench, held the gun and started violently shooting at the Japanese outside the battlefield.
