I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 235

Through the radio, several Japanese special high school agents who had actually controlled the defense of Xuyi City had learned that the Huben Regiment and the Yamada Detachment [-] were heading towards Xuyi City respectively.

Under such circumstances, the special high-level agents ordered Ma Siniu to strengthen all the troops in the city to the four gates and the top of the city, guarding against them and waiting for the vanguard of the Yamada Detachment to arrive.

At this time, Ma Siniu's troops have been expanded, and their strength has exceeded 2000, reaching the size of a B-type regiment.

In order to show a good performance in front of the Japanese, Ma Siniu took a platoon of guards and personally went to inspect the southwest corner of the city wall that was most likely to be attacked by the Huben regiment.

Accompanying him were the Japanese Army Special High School, Major Akihiro Taro, the person in charge of the Xuyi Station, and other personnel who took orders from the Special High School.

Just when they had just boarded the southwest corner of the city wall, another special agent in charge of the radio station suddenly ran out of the city in a hurry.

Taro Xiang Minghiro stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting sir, the Yamada detachment has called, and its forward cavalry unit of more than [-] people has already bypassed the main road and took a small road to Xuyi County.

In addition, the Chinese Army's Tiger Regiment is also marching towards Xuyi County. Commander Yamada ordered us to be on alert to prevent the Tiger Regiment! "

Upon hearing this, Akibotaro immediately raised his hand to signal, and the Japanese agent quickly handed over the telegram in his hand.

After receiving the telegram and reading it hastily, Akihiro Taro raised his head solemnly and looked out of the city.

Shen Sheng said: "I hope the imperial cavalry can arrive first!"

As a senior agent, Akibotaro and his agents are all proficient in Chinese, so their conversation can be understood by Ma Siniu.

The traitor and slavishly expressed his opinion to Akihiro Taro immediately: "Please don't worry, Taijun, the humble rank and the soldiers of the subordinates will definitely defend the city with all their strength.

It's fine if the Huben Group doesn't come, if they come, they will never come back! "

A puppet platoon leader standing behind Ma Siniu also hurriedly echoed: "That's right, these bastards, come one brother to kill one, come two to kill one pair!"

Akihiro Taro turned his head and glanced at Ma Siniu when he heard the words, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't show it obviously, but said vainly: "Yoxi, the imperial army appreciates the courage and loyalty of Ma Sang and the soldiers under his command.

When the Tiger and Ben regiments are eliminated, I will ask Commander Yamada for your credit. "

"Don't dare." Ma Siniu bowed his head with a flattering smile and said, "Thanks to the majesty, I will definitely defend Xuyi County with all my strength, and cooperate with the imperial army to wipe out the Huben Regiment!"

While they were talking, a group of cavalry appeared outside the south gate.

A ghost agent who was present was the first to discover this scene, and quickly pointed to remind him: "Sir, look quickly, it seems that the imperial cavalry has arrived."

Akihiro Taro was startled when he heard this, and hastily took out his binoculars to look towards the south of the city.

Looking through the binoculars, I saw hundreds of imperial cavalry and a group of Sun Army flags appearing outside the south gate of Xuyi.

Seeing this scene, Akihiro Taro couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, overjoyed and said: "Yo Xi, our cavalry has arrived, now Xuyi County will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no need to worry anymore."

After speaking, he said solemnly to Ma Siniu and several of his entourage: "Everyone, please follow me to the south gate to greet our cavalry!"

Ma Siniu and others naturally refused to accept anything, and followed Taro Akibo and rushed to the south gate as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the defenders on the south gate have already opened the city gate.

More than 300 Japanese cavalry, led by Konoe Fujiyama, are filing in from outside the city.

Among them, Konoe Fujiyama, an old devil, had already rode in first.

When he saw Hakutaro Aki and his entourage, they came over to greet him.

He intentionally reined in his horse and came to the side to wait. Akihiro Taro ran over excitedly, and took the initiative to salute: "Extra high class Akihiro Taro, may I ask your Excellency?"

Konoe Fujiyama raised his hand on his horse and said in return, "Konoe Fujiyama from the Cavalry Battalion of the Yamada Detachment."

"Konoe-kun, thank you for your hard work." Akihiro Taro saw that the other party's military rank was also a major. In terms of military rank, the two were on the same level, so his voice was not so humble, but he still remained polite.

But Konoe Fujiyama, as the cavalry major of the field troops, looked down on Akihiro Taro a bit.

Because in his opinion, both of them are majors despite their military ranks.

But I was promoted from the battlefield with a sword and a gun, but Taro Akihiro is an insidious person.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he despises the other party!
I don't like it in my heart, so my tone is naturally not so good.

Konoe Fujiyama said in a lukewarm way: "Mr. Mingbo, how many defenders are there in the city now? Who is the commander?"

Akihiro Taro replied truthfully: "About two thousand people."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ma Siniu who was following him and said, "He is the commander, the head of Ma Siniu Ma."

As soon as I heard that there were more than 2000 defenders in the small Xuyi County.

Konoe Fujiyama couldn't help being a little surprised, and after thinking about it, these more than 2000 people were all conspired by Akihiro Taro and his agents.

So, he couldn't help but give Akihiro Taro and others a high look again, and his tone was better than before.

He nodded to Akihiro Taro, and then said to Ma Siniu: "Ma Sang, from now on your troops will be under the command of the Yamada Detachment.

Do you have any objections to me temporarily taking command until Commander Yamada arrives? "

Ma Siniu quickly shook his head and said, "No, I will resolutely obey Taijun's orders!"

"Yoshi!" Konoe Fujiyama nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "My troops have traveled a long distance, are a little tired, and need to rest.

Please immediately send someone to prepare fodder and food for our men and horses to rest.

In addition, we must strengthen our vigilance, because the troops of the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army may appear at any time. "

"Hay!" Ma Siniu imitated the Japanese, nodded his head suddenly, and immediately took the order to leave.

……

About 10 minutes after the guard cavalry brigade arrived in Xuyi County, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo also led the regiment directly under the guard company, and the tank battalion rushed to a place about two kilometers southwest of the city.

Ten Sherman tanks rumbled and appeared outside the city, so naturally they couldn't hide it from the eyes and ears of the puppet army at the top of the city.

The puppet troops on the top of the city were frightened and quickly sent people to report to Ma Siniu and the Japanese in the city.

Let’s not mention this for the moment, here is the Huben Group.

After his own tank stopped advancing, Xu Qingfeng got out of the command tank with a telescope and began to observe the enemy's situation.

Zhou Weiguo also got out of another adjacent tank.

When he saw the Japanese military flag flying on the top of the city, Zhou Weiguo's expression darkened, and he cursed in a serious voice: "Damn it, the defenders here really turned to the enemy and became traitors!"

"Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't be able to advance to Xuyi County so recklessly!"

Xu Qingfeng was mentally prepared, and immediately turned around and ordered: "The whole guard company got out of the car and prepared to attack!
The tank battalion is fully covered with firepower, to test whether there are devils in the city now! "

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng, who was riding in the same tank as Xu Qingfeng, agreed with a loud voice, jumped out immediately, and directed the officers and soldiers of the guard company to start gathering.

At this moment, a communication soldier accompanying him ran over quickly.

Saluted Xu Qingfeng: "Report to the regiment, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion to report that the enemy of Lai'an has chased to Tianquan Lake and Tianma Lake.

They are trying their best to stop it! "

Xu Qingfeng was not surprised, but asked: "How are Wuying and Wang Bicheng doing? Is there any news about them?"

The communications soldier nodded and said: "Yes, the 5th Infantry Battalion has successfully merged with the third platoon of cavalry led by Wang Bicheng, and is resisting the attack of the Japanese mechanized troops steadily!"

"It seems that we must take Xuyi as soon as possible, otherwise the whole regiment may fall into the desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy!"

Xu Qingfeng couldn't help saying in a deep voice when he heard the words.

Zhou Weiguo said: "The situation on the battlefield is now very clear. The devils are trying to block us in Xuyi through the Xuyi defenders, and finally wipe us all under the city of Xuyi."

"Being his mother's Spring and Autumn Dream!"

Xu Qingfeng said: "Pass my order, the guard company, and the tank battalion will attack me with all their strength. No matter whether there are little Japs in the city or not, even if they use tank bombardment, they will blast the Xuyi City Gate open!"

……

In the city, the headquarters of the garrison regiment.

Ma Siniu, Akihiro Taro and others have just returned here following Wei Tengshan's troops.

Before Konoe Fujiyama's men had time to eat, Ma Siniu arranged for them to prepare fodder and food.

Konoe Fujiyama and the others didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

A squad leader of the puppet army rushed back from the south with a Hanyang-made pole on his back.

He rushed all the way to Akihiro Taro, Konoe Fujiyama, Ma Siniu and others, without paying attention to salute, he said: "Reporting to the head, gentlemen, it's not good, yes, there are tanks!"

"what?"

"Nani?"

Ma Siniu, Konoe Fujiyama, Akihiro Taro and others were all taken aback.

Akihiro Taro was quite calm, and advised in proficient Chinese: "Don't be too nervous, tell me clearly, what's going on?"

The squad leader of the puppet army calmed down his shortness of breath, and boldly said: "A group of national army tank troops appeared in the southwest of the city.

When the villain came to report, their infantry were jumping off the tanks one after another, and it seemed that they were about to attack Xuyi County! "

"Tank chariot?" Konoe Fujiyama is a two-handed swordsman, and finally understood. He looked at Akihiro Taro and Ma Siniu with awe-inspiring expression, and said in an unbelievable tone: "The Huben regiment also has tank warfare. Car troop?"

Because the internal information of the Japanese army was not interoperable at that time, and in order to avoid panic among the soldiers on the front line below.

Therefore, the top brass of the Japanese army specifically ordered not to disclose any details of the battle that would be detrimental to their own side to the grassroots units.

Therefore, only a small number of high-level Japanese troops knew about the fact that the Huben regiment had tank and chariot units.

Cavalry majors like Konoe Fujiyama are not qualified to know.

This is also expected, otherwise, as a cavalry major, if he knows that his opponent has a tank and chariot unit with advanced equipment and powerful firepower.

Knowing that his more than 300 cavalry are racing against a tank battalion, do you think he dares to execute orders without discount?
Who can guarantee that he will not be timid?

After all, everyone knows that no matter how strong a cavalry unit is, it is simply vulnerable to a tank and chariot unit.

So, when he saw Akihiro Taro nod in response to himself with the same solemn expression.

Konoe Fujiyama's face instantly became extremely heavy, and Ma Siniu was even more frightened.

He was born as a battalion commander of a local miscellaneous army, although he had vaguely heard of some great achievements of the Huben Regiment.

But I don't know how powerful the Huben regiment is, let alone that the Huben regiment now has a tank and armored force.

Therefore, the panic and tension in his heart were much greater than that of Konoe Fujiyama.

So, he looked left and right at Konoe Fujiyama and Akihiro Taro, and couldn't help asking for instructions: "You two princes, what should we do?"

Or Konoe Fujiyama, an old devil with a more stable mind, he quickly recovered from the shock and panic.

He said in a cold voice: "Up to now, the only thing we can do is to go all out to stop the Chinese army, regardless of whether they come from tanks or other elite troops.

As long as we can defend Xuyi County, it won't be long before the main forces of the imperial army arrive one after another!

At that time, we will be able to cooperate internally and externally and annihilate the Huben regiment under Xuyi City.

What's more, although the Chinese army outside the city has tanks and chariots, they do not have air supremacy, while we have absolute air supremacy.

The aviation unit can come for reinforcements at any time! "

When Akihiro Taro heard this, he immediately became hopeful, and nodded in agreement: "Koshie-kun is right, commanding in battle is your strong point.

Therefore, for the specific deployment in the future, please don't refuse, Konoe-kun, just order!

Captain Ma and I will fully cooperate and resolutely obey your orders! "

Ma Siniu hurriedly nodded and bowed, "That's right, I will resolutely obey your orders!"

Konoe Fujiyama naturally understands the principle of urgency.

So he immediately ordered: "Order the communications troops to immediately send a telegram directly to the Central China Front Army Headquarters to report the situation here.

Land-based and sea-based air forces are requested to send fighter planes, especially bombers, to come for reinforcements immediately!

Cooperate with us in destroying the tank and chariot units of the Chinese Army outside the city, even if it severely damages them! "

"In addition, I judge that the leading force of the China Army will not have many troops and should not be able to launch an attack from multiple directions.

Therefore, the junction of the South Gate and the West Gate will be its main target! "

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, turned his gaze to Ma Siniu and said, "Ma Sang, you immediately lead at least one battalion of troops to this area and strengthen the defense!
Our more than 300 imperial cavalry warriors need half an hour of rest to recover their strength!
Therefore, I ask you to stick to it for more than half an hour!

In half an hour, I will personally lead the team up to the city wall to reinforce your department!

If you can't hold it for half an hour, I will cut off your head with my own hands!
If you keep it, I will ask for credit for you! "

In fact, how did Ma Siniu know that Konoe Fujiyama's so-called half-hour break was just to delay time and use them as cannon fodder.

Although his cavalry had traveled long distances, it was no problem for them to dismount and join the battle as infantry.

The purpose of this deployment is to let Ma Siniu and his group of puppet troops go up first to consume the ammunition and attacking spirit of the Huben regiment.

Then he would lead the cavalry to participate, so that he could be sure to hold on until reinforcements and air support arrived.
