Ando's brigade was ambushed, and the remaining 700 Japanese in the entire brigade were wiped out by the second battalion without any suspense. 768 people below Lieutenant Commander Ando were killed, and no one escaped;
The Second Battalion also suffered more than 80 casualties and captured 2 Type 92 infantry guns, 5 81mm Type 97 mortars, more than 30 Type 10 grenades, 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 20 crooked light machine guns. Yu Ting, more than 400 Type 38 rifles and tens of thousands of rounds of various types of ammunition;
The 92 Infantry Artillery fired more than 30 shells and more than 100 mortar shells. It can be said to be a complete victory.
After Kawakami Battalion learned that Ando's Battalion was wiped out, it quickly broke away from contact with the Third Battalion and evacuated with dozens of corpses. The Third Battalion did not pursue it. This time, their mission with the Second Battalion was to guard a brigade. , room and board a brigade;
If we attack two brigades at the same time, we might end up with a mixed meal.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure two of them. Only by fighting a battle of annihilation can there be enough oil and water.
The Kawakami Brigade, which had escaped the disaster, moved closer to the main force of the Zezhou Japs and had lost the chance to annihilate them;
The mission of the third battalion was changed to blocking the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Zezhou and buying time for the first and second battalions to capture Anping City.
After dealing with the Japanese reinforcements, Anping City became a ripe peach, waiting for the independent group to pick it.
Zhang Yu led the second battalion to rush to the foot of Anping City and met with Zhou Qing's first battalion. The two battalions had more than 3,000 people and surrounded Anping City. The time was ripe to capture Anping City.
"Captain Zhang, you fought well with the Third Battalion this time. I heard you caught a lot of good stuff."
As soon as the two battalion commanders met, Li Qing took the initiative to say hello.
"Battal Commander Li, it's nothing. I only have two 92 infantry cannons and a few small steel cannons. The infantry cannons alone have more than 30 rounds of shells!"
Zhang Yu's spirit is getting higher and higher now, and he won't show off the seizures such as the 92-heavy machine gun and the crooked gun.
When Li Qing heard that there were 92 infantry cannons, he immediately laughed happily. This is a good thing for siege!
"Battalion Commander Zhang, it's nothing to shout about after having seven cannons in one battle. If the political commissar hears this, I will definitely beat you, the rich man!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu looked around and said to Li Qing:
"Old Li, please keep your voice down. The cannon is still warm in your pocket. If the political commissar hears it, our honey will have to be cut off."
Li Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and while laughing, he hurt Zhang Yu:
"Haha, Lao Zhang, there are times when you are afraid. It seems that the political commissar has cut you some honey!"
"Old Li, don't laugh at me. When we first divided the troops, the regiment commander had already promised that 70% of the captured items would be handed over to the regiment headquarters. We have an agreement in advance. Can the political commissar be polite to you?"
Zhang Yu knew from Li Qing's expression that everyone was a worker bee, so no one should laugh at anyone.
"Okay, Battalion Commander Zhang, no more joking, let's discuss how to attack Anping City together. Battalion Commander Lin is under great pressure to stop the attack. Fight it as soon as possible and give the Japanese a heavy blow. Commander, you can wait for Anping City. The good news.”
"Captain Li, there is a large group of Japs in the city, and there is also a regiment of the puppet army. Should we surround three buildings, or should we serve him one pot? Please bring out the regulations."
"Battle Commander Zhang, after thinking about it, I still have to surround three towers. We can't force the Japanese to jump over the wall in a hurry.
I will lead the first battalion to attack simultaneously from the east, south and west directions. You leave all the infantry artillery and mortars to me, and you lead the second battalion to ambush in the direction of the north gate;
After the Japanese break out from the north gate, you can knock them again. Remember to pursue them from behind. You should know why poor invaders don't block them from the front! "
Zhang Yu understood what Li Qing meant as soon as he heard it. Everyone has been working together for many years. Some words don't need to be explained clearly. They can understand each other just by looking at each other.
"Okay, Battalion Commander Li, let's fight like this. I'll leave the main force of the artillery battery to you, and I'll take the 8 flying thunder cannons away;
It's your job to drive the Japanese out of their dens. I'm only responsible for beating up the stray dogs, haha! "
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he took the main force of the second battalion to the direction of the north gate to hide the devils...
After Li Qing was strengthened by 2 infantry cannons and a dozen mortars, his cannons increased to nearly 30, which was enough to attack Anping City.
Two hours later, Li Qing estimated that Zhang Yu's troops had already ambushed in the direction of the north gate, so he launched a fierce attack on Anping City. This time he was serious about it!
"Boom boom boom..."
More than thirty cannons launched a fierce attack on the Japanese from three directions, especially two infantry cannons. The gate of Anping City could not withstand a few cannons.
The Anping garrison and the puppet garrison were desperately resisting, and the situation was very critical for the Japanese.
At the Anping Garrison Headquarters, Nakata Takehiro was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.
"Liu Sang, you must hold on, the reinforcements from the imperial army will arrive soon!"
Even he himself did not believe the words of the old devil Nakata. The reinforcements in the direction of Zezhou were still dozens of kilometers away and could not arrive within a day;
The airport was also bombed by the Eighth Route Army. Even if a plane was sent from Taiyuan Airport, the water far away could not quench the thirst of the nearby, and the key planes could not come down to help. At most, it would only cause some losses to the Eighth Route Army.
Your Majesty the Commander has made it clear that there are no more planes to send. The planes at Taiyuan Airport are not even enough for the main battlefield. How can there be any extra planes to send to Anping City!
"Taijun, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire is too fierce, my brothers can't withstand it anymore!"
Liu Shaoan, commander of the puppet army, began to complain to Nakata Kenhiro. His regiment only consisted of a few hundred stragglers, and it was good that it had not collapsed so far.
"Liu Sang, you must hold on, otherwise you will die!"
Nakata said to Liu Shaoan fiercely.
"Boom boom boom..."
The east city gate finally failed to withstand the successive bombardments of two infantry cannons, and the city gate was blasted open!
The moment the city gate was blasted open, the puppet army also collapsed. Many puppet soldiers fled towards the north gate. Some even just threw their guns and dived into the common people. Who could recognize them?
Nakata Kenyo's garrison brigade was originally a second-line force. Unlike the field brigade, which was strong-willed, it was considered good if it could hold on until the city gate was breached.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the East City Gate has been breached by the Eighth Route Army. Let's withdraw. If we don't withdraw, it will be too late!"
A Japanese squadron leader suggested to Nakata Kenyo that these Japanese soldiers did not have the determination to live or die with Anping City.
Nakata Kenhiro gritted his teeth and said:
"Yoshi, kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Nakata pointed at the north gate with his command knife. The squadron leader understood instantly and led the troops to cover the captain and turned towards the north gate!
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
The loud bugle sounded, and a large number of Eighth Route Army troops entered the city from the east gate. Anping City was destroyed!
After the main force of the first battalion entered the city, they quickly eliminated the remaining Japanese soldiers, controlled important warehouses and key points, and prevented a small number of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops from causing sabotage.
The company continued to pursue the Japanese from the north gate...
The loss of Nakata Kenhiro's garrison brigade was not very great, there were still more than 800 people;
There were more than 300 people left in Liu Shaoan's puppet army. They escaped from Anping City in embarrassment from the north gate and fled toward Luzhou.
"Quickly, the Eighth Route Army is catching up!"
Nakata Kenhiro kept urging the Japanese to escape north. As long as they fled to Luzhou, they would be safe...
"Boom boom boom..."
The second battalion's flying thunder cannons ambush on the flank opened fire.
Then dozens of machine guns fired wildly at the Japanese from both sides. The fleeing Japanese were mopped down one by one, and the Nakata brigade suffered many casualties.
"Bagaya road, heavy artillery! There is an ambush!"
The escaping Nakata Battalion was ambushed by the Second Battalion and suffered heavy losses. It was also a terrifying heavy artillery that could explode into a large area;
The Nakata Battalion immediately let go of its ducks, and was chased from behind by the Second Battalion all over the mountains and plains...
