The ancient copper city is surrounded on three sides and a fierce battle is going on.
Inside the 200th Division headquarters, Commander Dai was staring at the map intently, thinking about countermeasures;
Troops were sent out one after another, leaving only one guard battalion, which was both the division's guard unit and the final reserve.
"Teacher, it's already two o'clock in the morning. You haven't slept for several days in a row. You can't bear it even if you are an iron man. You take a rest for a while. I'll keep an eye on you. If there's an emergency, I'll call you."
Chief of Staff Ma Xiaobin suggested.
"I'm fine. The war situation is urgent. The Japanese are besieging us on three sides like crazy. We are outnumbered. There are planes in the sky, tanks and heavy artillery on the ground. This battle is not easy to fight!"
Is there any news about our reinforcements? "
Ma Xiaobin shook his head and replied:
"Commander Liao of the 22nd Division has arrived near Yongkegang Airport in the north of the city and is confronting the Japanese. There is no news about other troops for the time being."
Mr. Dai nodded and said:
"The advance troops of the Japanese 56th Division have arrived at the south bank of the Xitang River in the south of the city, and we must pay close attention to their movements;
In addition, the security camp was notified to strengthen the vigilance at night. My eyes were always twitching that night, and I always felt like something was going to happen!
Like this, you just stare at the phone while I go out for a walk and get some fresh air. "
Commander Dai's sixth sense was really accurate. On the south bank of the Xitang River in the south of the city, a small force of a hundred people was secretly armed and swimming across the Xitang River;
Their attire and weapons are completely different from ordinary Japanese soldiers. They are equipped with a large number of submachine guns and their helmets have been treated with reflective materials. They do not reflect any light under the looming moonlight.
When Major Inoue saw that everyone had crossed the Xitang River, he signed "open the way" and a detachment of Japanese soldiers took the lead. They lined up in two columns and headed towards the 200th Division headquarters.
After the search team walked a few dozen meters, Major Inoue led the main force to follow. This was a squadron of the Japanese special operations force accompanying the 56th Division and directly belonged to the Southern Front Army.
At the guard post outside the 200th Division command post, two sentries looked around with vigilance. The division commander had just left at night. After being scolded, he was now in good spirits. There was a hidden sentry dozens of meters behind him. I was scolded by my teacher when I was taking a break.
"Squad leader, I'm going to squat in a latrine. I don't know what's going on today. I feel sick to my stomach."
Jiang Jinzhu suddenly said to another sentry, holding his stomach.
"Lazy people poop and pee a lot, get out of here, they stink!"
The veteran waved Jiang Jinzhu away and continued to be on guard.
Jiang Jinzhu ran to a place more than ten meters away and squatted down. He was about to squat down when he suddenly remembered the scolding from the squad leader. He stood up and hid dozens of meters away, finding a more secluded place to deal with it.
While I was squatting, I suddenly noticed a group of black figures shaking in the distance. I was so frightened that I almost screamed and broke out in cold sweat.
"Is there really a ghost? No, it's a ghost!"
Jin Zhu suddenly reacted because he saw the group of shadows split into two parts, one part rushed toward the squad leader, and the other part moved toward the secret whistle.
"You stupid little devil, you really did carry out a sneak attack!"
Jin Zhu's location was exactly in the blind spot of the Japs' sight. It was no wonder that the Japs didn't notice him. He had no time to deal with the dirt and just pulled up his pants;
He gently opened the safety of the Sten submachine gun in his hand, and just as the Japanese threw the squad leader down, Jin Zhu's gun rang out;
A long burst of fire and more than a dozen bullets mopped up the two Japanese who were attacking.
As soon as Jin Zhu's gun fired, Major Inoue discovered him and cursed in frustration:
"Bagaya road!"
He casually gave Jin Zhu a shuttle. The Japanese's marksmanship was accurate. He heard the sound and identified his position and locked onto Jin Zhu. Jin Zhu was hit by several bullets and fell down.
Of course, his sacrifice was not without value, as the Japanese's intention to sneak attack the headquarters was exposed.
Seeing that the intention of the sneak attack had been exposed, Major Inoue changed it to a force attack.
Jin Zhu's gunfire broke the tranquility of the night and alerted the division guard camp. Soon they discovered the Japanese who were sneaking in and fought with them. The sound of submachine guns was everywhere.
The division's security battalion also uses submachine guns. They are all elite troops. Their number is several times that of the Japanese, so they can barely hold on.
Commander Dai, who was taking a nap in the headquarters, was alerted by the sound of gunfire. He then took out his pistol and said to the staff of the division headquarters:
"Brothers, follow me!"
The Japanese's attack was very sharp and efficient. Although the guard battalion was several times more numerous than the opponent, it was still beaten back steadily, and both sides suffered casualties.
After Commander Dai came up with divisional reinforcements, the morale of the guard battalion was greatly boosted and the position was gradually stabilized;
This time it was Inoue's turn to be anxious. Once the special operations were exposed, he should retreat. However, he was too confident in his troops and thought that he could capture the 200 Division's headquarters by storm.
After fighting for more than ten minutes, he became more and more frightened. Although they had the advantage, it was no longer realistic to capture them in a short time. Chinese reinforcements were on their way, and just after Jin Zhu's gunshot, , he has no chance!
As a special operations commander, Inoue was not an impulsive person. When he saw that nothing could be done, he decisively gave up the attack and quickly withdrew from the battle and broke away from contact between the two sides.
"Commander, the Japs have escaped. These Japs are evil. They even took away the corpses when they retreated. I roughly counted a dozen Japs to death, and more than 60 brothers were killed in the guard camp. In addition, There are dozens of losers, our guard camp did not fight well in this battle, please punish me."
The guard battalion commander said very aggrievedly that they had never fought such a useless battle.
The headquarters was attacked by someone, and Commander Dai was in a bad mood. Fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He immediately comforted Battalion Commander Qian and said:
"Battle Commander Qian, I can't blame you this time. These are not a group of ordinary devils. They are here for the headquarters. You fought very well this time and avoided damage to the division headquarters. Not only will I not punish you, I also want to praise you.”
Although Commander Dai said it lightly, he was even more worried in his heart. The 55th Division was no longer painful, and now there was an advance team of the 56th Division, but his own reinforcements had not yet arrived. This battle is getting harder and harder to fight.
After dawn, the Japanese offensive became more fierce. At ten o'clock in the morning, another group of planes flew over like flies, and sharp air defense whistles suddenly sounded on the position.
The chief of staff reflexively threw Commander Dai down, and a long string of iron lumps that looked like shit poured down from the belly of the aircraft. After landing on the position, they did not explode as usual, but thick yellow-green plumes erupted. cigarette.
The 200th Division suffered from Japanese poison gas at Kunlun Pass. The experienced officers understood it at a glance and immediately blew the poison whistle.
Each person in the 200th Division was equipped with a gas mask made by John Bull. As soon as they heard the gas whistle, they turned their backs to the wind and began to wear gas masks. Even so, many officers and soldiers reacted too much. Slow poisoning sacrifice.
The Japanese once again sent their trump card, causing a lot of casualties to the 200 Division. However, the 200 Division still fought to the death from the division commander down, and the red flags still fluttered over Tonggu City in the blue sky and white sun.
