In a flash of lightning, the defense forces pulled the front line deeper as they wished, putting the entire Datong in a completely surrounded situation.
What's left is to divide the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who still know nothing about it into several pieces horizontally and vertically, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and then gradually eat away at them!
At the right time, on a piece of land less than three square kilometers, the locust troops lined up in dense echelons in three directions: east, middle and west.
When the cannonball passed through an arc and exploded in the air, thousands of shrapnel splashed everywhere in the herd, swallowing up all life within a radius of tens of meters. It happened to be that there had been a heavy rain near Datong a few days ago. Therefore, the muddy loess land was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
Seeing that Fujiji Anjing, who was paying close attention to the movements of the enemy and ourselves on the city wall, was heartbroken and in pain!
Those are all the main force of the North China Front Army! Each one of them has been through the recruitment period and has experienced at least two years of bullets and bullets, and has been fed with thousands of rounds of bullets and actual battlefield combat!
In particular, the Second Division directly under his command can share the reputation with the Fifth Division of the Central China Front as the main force of the Japanese army in China. Each of its components is brave in the military!
Before meeting Li Yunfeng, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army's combined attacks of more than 100,000 people were never defeated. They fought smoothly all the way from Beijing and Tianjin to the three Jin Dynasties. "The army" was also panicked and could not make any more concessions.
It is a pity that after this battle, the undefeated myth of the Second Division will come to an end. Sugiyama Yuan racked his brains to reorganize the Second Division, which was damaged during the Yoshio period of Shinozuka, and restore it to its previous combat strength. , I'm afraid it will be completely ruined by my own hands!
"No! It must not be possible! The Second Division cannot allow any mistakes!"
At the right time, Anjing Toji gritted his teeth and stood on the city wall to watch the battle, a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind!
He will personally lead his troops out of the city, break through the defense force's blockade at all costs, rescue the tens of thousands of besieged Japanese troops, and then choose the opportunity to move eastward toward Hebei to break out of the encirclement!
As a result, a shocking scene that had never happened in the Japanese Army since the Russo-Japanese War thirty years ago happened. The then commander-in-chief of the Second Division and the 22nd Division, a total of 70,000 troops, Yasui Fujiharu, Leading the few thousand remaining Japanese troops in the city, they took advantage of the unsteady foothold of the defense forces and charged forward desperately. The leader, Yasui, was holding a crooked stick in his hand, running at the forefront with a red face and raised eyebrows.
In an attempt to encourage his subordinates to move forward bravely and open the rescue channel...
However, God was not in his favor. How could the Japanese army, with only a few thousand people armed with Sanba Gaigai, be an opponent of the well-equipped and fully semi-automated defense force?
A charge came, and a burst of long guns and short cannons hit back. The firepower was so intensive that when Yasui jumped forward with his body hunched, he could clearly feel the countless bullets around him almost grazing against his scalp!
So, Yasui gave up again and ordered the remaining troops to retreat and wait for reinforcements. After all, the life of his dignified army lieutenant general was much more valuable than the tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers born as civilians!
This battle on the outskirts of the city lasted for more than seven hours, almost from noon to dusk. In the end, at the cost of 3,375 soldiers of the garrison, a few lucky ones were eliminated. Except for the lucky ones who escaped back to the city, all the remaining 60,000 Japanese troops were wiped out!
At the right time, on a relatively flat open ground in front of the trenches of the two armies, tens of thousands of Japanese corpses were exposed to the air and bleeding profusely; standing on the high ground and looking down at the smoke rising into the sky, like columns towering into the clouds, the filthy The air is filled with the pungent smell of burning flesh and dust and smoke...
"Pass! Pass! Pass!" With the roar of the cannon, Yasui Toji's thoughts were brought back from memories to reality. At that time, there were only 6,000 infantry and one artillery in the huge city of Datong, and the total strength was not enough for Li Yunfeng's army. A small change!
On the other hand, the garrison and the defense force, after a night's rest and replenishment of food and ammunition, their physical strength and strength quickly returned to pre-war levels. They are currently staring at the Datong city wall with eager eyes. As long as Li Yunfeng gives an order, the day of breaking the city is right in front of us!
It's just puzzling that Li Yunfeng didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city at that time. He had obviously taken the absolute initiative last night, but he just ordered the soldiers to stop attacking the city and bury pots and make rice on the spot!
Even now, facing Datong City that is within easy reach, all departments are only ordered to be more vigilant and not to attack without permission!
This time, Li Yunlong was so anxious that he was watching the battle, jumping up and down:
"I'm talking about Fengzi! What's wrong with you, you little bastard? Why haven't you issued a total order? There are thousands of little devils in the city, which is not enough for your defense force to parry in one round! What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders and flashed a trace of disdain on his face:
"Either way, brother, you can only be the head of the regiment! My people are standing outside the city, and Datong City is still in the hands of the devils. With the urinary nature of the North China Front Army, they will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Then they will only Send a steady stream of reinforcements under my gun! Hahahaha, let alone Datong City, even Hebei may be captured by me!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked surprised. He thought that his brother was just a reckless man who relied on his sharpness and brute force to fight. Because of this, he shyly asked Li Kuan to bring him over, in order to prevent his brother from being killed. The younger brother's brain got hot and he did something crazy that shocked everyone.
I never thought that other people’s thinking was much ahead of my own! While he was still scratching his head anxiously to get a city called Datong, known as the coal capital of China, his younger brother was no longer satisfied with the three Jins, but set his sights on the broader land of Yanzhao.
[No wonder this bastard has become a hero in a few months. With his ability, no wonder the teachers and teachers have to salute him! It seems that I still underestimated him before! 】
Li Yunlong nodded and thought to himself. For the first time in his life, he recognized his younger brother's peak commanding ability!
At the right time, the radio director of the headquarters, who was responsible for communication monitoring, approached with a document in hand. After whispering in Li Yunfeng's ear for a few times, the latter's brows furrowed:
"Huh? I haven't had enough fun yet, what's wrong with this stupid little devil?"
