Chapter 215 Elastic Defense

Chapter 215 Elastic Defense
Liang Shan was also a little puzzled: "Tuan Zuo, Brother Lin is right. At this time, we are going southeast to break through, aren't we heading into the enemy's nest?"

Xu Qingfeng said: "You don't have to worry about this, the enemy's main forces are currently facing our army on the Huaihe River front.

As long as we break the encirclement of the enemy in front of us, with the combat power of our Huben Regiment, we will not be able to enter the land of no one behind the enemy.

It can also pass the Jinpu line smoothly, move eastward to the central Jiangsu area, and then take the opportunity to go north to Xuzhou to reinforce the northern front battlefield. "

Zhou Weiguo also nodded and said: "What the regiment said makes sense, if we retreat to the northwest at this time.

The Japanese army will inevitably follow and pursue, which will pose a great threat to Chief Xu's troops and the defenseless northern Anhui area.

Instead of this, we might as well do the opposite and advance to the Japanese theater.

At that time, even if the devils take Hefei, they will not dare to march northward with all their strength because of our existence.

They may even be mobilized by our department. After all, our existence is a huge threat to their logistics supply lines.

In this way, we will not only be able to catch the enemy by surprise, but also contain a large number of active forces of the enemy, and favorably support the main force of the national army on the Huaihe line of defense. "

Under Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo's explanation, everyone nodded their heads without any hesitation to express their understanding.

After unifying his thoughts, Xu Qingfeng continued to ask Zhou Weiguo, "Weiguo, what's your opinion on the breakout attack plan?"

Zhou Weiguo rubbed his hands, then smiled and said: "It's not a good idea, but breaking out at night, there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

If nothing else, the Japs will definitely think that we will break out from the North Gate or the West Gate.

Just like Qingfeng you said just now, we did the opposite for him.

To break out from the east gate or south gate, you can concentrate firepower, such as tanks and troops equipped with submachine guns and machine guns.

Use powerful firepower to break through the enemy's blockade and interception in one fell swoop, and break out. "

Lin Baoguo said: "If you want to break through the enemy-occupied area, then the east gate should be the most suitable."

"After all, the south gate is the main attack direction of the devils, and the enemy should have more troops."

Xu Qingfeng said: "That's right, the east gate is the most suitable direction for us to break through and attack."

Xu Hu added with a smile: "In addition to concentrating firepower, I think cavalry companies can also be used to break through.

Once the tank and machine gun fire opened a gap, the cavalry would take advantage of the situation and rush out, and they would be able to catch the little Japanese by surprise. "

Zhou Weiguo said: "Well, that's right, the tanks lead the charge, cooperate with the assaulters, and the machine gunners are responsible for suppressing firepower, after opening the gap.

The cavalry company was immediately dispatched to quickly expand the results, and then the infantry battalions and regiments were directly affiliated. "

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng finally made the decision: "Then let's let the tank battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance company form a commando team to raid the east gate together.

The infantry battalion and artillery battalion responsible for defending the east gate cooperated together, and waited for the commando to open the gap before letting the cavalry company take the lead in charging.

Then, the other battalions took turns covering and withdrew from the east gate.

Tanks, guards, reconnaissance and other directly subordinate units, after leaving the city, are responsible for blocking the enemy's pursuers from the rear, until all the troops in the city have broken through, and then retreat. "

"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan, Lin Baoguo, Chen Qifeng, Xu Hu, Wang Tiezhu and other officers present all took orders in unison.

……

While Xu Qingfeng and the others were busy deploying the next breakout attack.

In the Japanese headquarters in the south of the city, two old Japanese soldiers, Tanabe Shoichi and Takamori Rei, were also discussing the next attack plan.

With the firepower coverage of the aviation and artillery units, they were full of confidence in the next attack.

Tanabe Shoichi believes that under such a fierce firepower attack, even if the Chinese defenders in the city will not be completely wiped out, their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Our next attack will definitely be overwhelming.

However, just in case, after some discussion, the two old devils still decided that an infantry regiment from the Yingsen Detachment, with the cooperation of the tank troops, would launch the main attack directly from the south gate.

The remaining infantry regiment under Tanabe Shoichi was once again divided into two, and they carried out roundabout attacks to the east and west of the city respectively to contain and disperse the defenders in the city and cope with the attack of Takamori detachment in the south of the city.

This ensured that they could break through the national army's blockade in one fell swoop and capture the city of Hefei.

Almost as soon as the two old devils prepared their attack plan, the Japanese air strike ended first, and more than a dozen Japanese planes roared and returned one after another.

Seeing that the time for the attack was ripe, Rei Takamori said to Noboru Tanabe: "Tanabe-kun, it's almost time, let's attack!"

Tian Biansheng nodded and said, "Yo Xi!"

Immediately, he drew out his saber and ordered: "Kill Quack!"

Since Tanabe Shengyi is the joint commander of the two detachments, his order was quickly conveyed by the devil's flag language soldiers through the command flag.

More than 2000 Japanese infantrymen belonging to the Yingsen Detachment immediately launched an attack towards the south of Hefei City under the cover of six Type [-] tanks, some mortars, heavy machine guns and other heavy firepower.

At this time, the whole city of Hefei has been shrouded in smoke and flames produced by the Japanese artillery bombardment.

Especially the area around the south gate was almost completely engulfed by gunpowder smoke.

The devil's attacking troops couldn't even see the whole picture of the south gate. They didn't know whether the south gate wall still existed under the joint attack of their own fierce artillery fire and air strikes.

A Japanese captain who was leading the team, riding on a war horse with a sullen face, waved his hand.

More than 2000 Japanese infantry quickly formed a skirmish line and followed the tanks forward quickly.

Just as the Japanese army in the south of the city began to advance, more than 2000 Japanese troops who had already detoured to their positions also launched a feint attack on the city gate from the east and west of the city.

Although they received a feint attack mission, the more than 2000 Japanese troops in the Tanabe detachment obviously did not intend to actually carry out the feint attack order.

Instead, they all regarded themselves as the main direction of attack. The commanders of more than 2000 Japanese troops all wanted to be the first unit to invade Hefei.

So as to avenge the comrades of the 28th Wing, and wash away the shame of their own detachment.

In this case, the more than 2000 devils who were obviously the detour troops ran faster than the main attacking troops in the south of the city.

Especially on the Ximen side, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, led by a devil named Ping Taro, took the lead in rushing into the Ximen city that had been bombed by Japanese firepower and turned into ruins.

Originally, the devil wanted to start a fierce battle with the defenders in the city here.

However, as they approached the city gate, the ghost soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that there was no defender at the west gate that was filled with gunpowder smoke to stop them.

Surprised and delighted, Pingtaro immediately sent a squadron to rush up first.

Nearly [-] devils, holding bayonets, swarmed up from the gap in the blown down city wall, braving gunpowder smoke, and soon broke into the west city gate and rushed to the top of the city.

Afterwards, a small number of ghost soldiers quickly turned around and came to the gap in the city wall or the outer female wall, and gestured to the main force still on standby outside the city to show their safety.

Seeing this, Taro Pingban immediately waved his right hand holding the gun and ordered: "Everyone is here, go!"

The remaining [-] or [-] devils, the main force, immediately got up one after another, and rushed up quickly with various weapons.

In this way, the Japanese army captured the Sakamoto detachment without bloodshed, and failed to enter Hefei Ximen until their death.

However, after entering the west gate and occupying the top of the city.

Pingtaro did not dare to go further, but brought two adjutants and a small number of accompanying guards to the inner female wall, raised the binoculars condescendingly, and began to quietly observe the situation in the city.

However, because the city was on fire at that time, and the smoke from the explosion had not yet dissipated.

His viewing distance was limited to less than [-] meters, and an adjutant next to him was also worried: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army must have escaped, right?"

"Yeah, why is there no one? Is there some kind of conspiracy?" Another devil's adjutant who was present also nodded in agreement.

Taipan Taroque shook his head and said: "Our scouts deployed to the north of the city found nothing unusual, so they probably didn't escape!"

"In this case, they are probably still hiding in the city, maybe waiting to ambush us?"

The devil's adjutant who was the first to speak earlier said in surprise.

Another adjutant retorted: "Perhaps they were severely damaged by the imperial army's artillery fire and aviation firepower, and there are not many left?"

Facing the arguments of his subordinates, Taro Pingback fell into deep thought.

Now that Ximen, the most difficult to attack, has been taken, even if there are still a few remaining Chinese troops in the city, they must not be opponents under the siege of the imperial army on three sides.

You can't hesitate any longer, otherwise once the troops from the east gate or south gate invade the city first.

That power belongs to them!I, Heitaro, must not miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Taro Pingbing immediately gave an order to one of the adjutants: "Mr. Xiaolu, you will lead the No. 1 Squadron to take the lead, and I will follow up with the main force.

We echoed back and forth and attacked eastward along the main street of Ximen, striving to be the first to hit the enemy's headquarters and capture the commander of the Chinese army alive. I will cut off his head with my own hands to commemorate the more than 28 comrades of the 2000th Regiment ! "

"Hay!" The devil's adjutant named Xiaolu nodded quickly, and quickly left with a saber on his waist and a squadron of infantry, rushed down the top of the city, and took the lead in advancing into the city.

After they had walked about 200 meters and still hadn't encountered an ambush, Taiban Taro waved his hands and gave the order: "Attack!"

The main force of nearly a thousand devils was dispatched one after another, following the No. [-] Squadron, and launched an attack eastward.

Just when the devils advanced about 300 meters into the city, there was a three-story ruined building on the south side of the main street of Ximen.

The commander of the third battalion, Fang Shengli, and two of his subordinates, were also observing the movements of the Japanese army.

Around him, there were three battalions of officers and soldiers in ambush with live ammunition and light and heavy machine guns.

Due to the timely withdrawal into the city and the relatively scattered deployment of troops.

Therefore, the Japanese's previous shelling and air strikes failed to cause too many casualties to the Tiger Regiment.

As soon as the devil's air raid and shelling were over, Fang Shengli, the commander of the third battalion, followed Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo's orders.

Actively organize defenses, deploying multiple temporary defense lines along both sides of the main street of Ximen.

While Fang Shengli was observing the enemy's situation, a reconnaissance squad leader ran over from the front with a medium-sized rifle in his hands.

When he came to Fang Shengli, he ignored the salute and said: "Sir, the Japanese are here. They are divided into two groups, less than 200 meters apart."

"Oh?" Fang Shengli said with some surprise: "The little devil is quite cautious, isn't he? How many people are there in the two groups of devils?"

"There are less than 200 people in the front, it should be a squadron, and there must be thousands of people in the back."

The scout squad leader replied.

"Are there any tanks?" Fang Shengli asked again.

The reconnaissance squad leader thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't find it, but the devils behind seem to have artillery!"

Fang Shengli mused after hearing the words: "It's easy to deal with without tanks. Inform the first company to let the devil's vanguard come over, and then give me my life to block the main force of the follow-up Japanese army.

The platoons directly under the third company and battalion should concentrate their firepower on me, specifically to attack the two hundred or so little Japs in front!
The Second Company will outflank me and attack the enemy's artillery unit. Let's also kill the little devil! "

Hearing this, an accompanying platoon leader who was present was a little worried and said: "Battle Commander, the regiment headquarters let us defend, not attack!"

Fang Shengli couldn't help but slapped the steel helmet on his head, and shouted: "What do you know, kid, elastic defense is the ability to have both offense and defense.

If we passively defend and compete with the Japanese, then when the Japanese artillery fire comes, won't we have to suffer a big loss? "

"Don't we also have an artillery battalion?" The lieutenant platoon leader said puzzledly, "No, let's call for artillery support too!"

Fang Shengli patted his helmet angrily, and scolded with a smile: "What are you thinking, the south gate is the enemy's main attack direction.

The artillery battalion must give priority to taking care of the brothers at the south gate. When it is our turn, the shells of the devils have plowed all over our machine gun positions. "

As he said that, Fang Shengli said in a deep voice with a dignified look: "Teach me a little bit, we can fight well without the support of the artillery battalion!"

"Besides, don't we have our own artillery platoon? I'll ask the brothers in the artillery platoon to shoot at the enemy's main force without giving them a chance to join forces with reinforcements!"

"Yes!" The second lieutenant platoon leader obviously didn't want to receive a third slap and quickly accepted the order.

Fang Shengli's order was quickly conveyed, and about 5 minutes later, when the Devil's No. 1 Squadron cautiously advanced another 200 meters.

On both sides of the originally silent street in the west of the city, there were suddenly intensive gunshots.

Countless bullets, like raindrops, shot towards the vanguard of the Japanese army from all directions.

Smoking grenades were also thrown down one after another.

In an instant, under the dense rain of bullets and strafing, as well as the wild bombardment of grenades, the leading Japanese troops fell one after another.

At the same time, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment suddenly appeared on both sides of the front of the follow-up troops led by Pingtaro, holding various weapons and shooting at them and throwing grenades!
