As soon as the agreed time to launch the attack arrived, more than a thousand people from the New Regiment hiding in the ravine emerged, with great fanfare, under the banner of the New Regiment, and rushed towards the Shuiquan Coal Mine.
Ding Wei also asked his two treasured Type 92 infantry cannons to find a commanding height and fire two rounds at the wall of the Japs, causing the Japs on the wall to quickly lower their heads and bend over.
When this group of little devils saw the Wuyang Wuyang men and horses emerging from the mountains and forests, all of them were as powerful as tigers and murderous gods, and they also carried the flag of the new regiment of the 386th Brigade, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly sent someone to report it. Squadron leader Hayashida Shinji.
After hearing this, Hayashida Shinji could only strictly order them to resist, and then frantically called Nakao Soichi in Shuiquan City.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the infantry of a regiment on Tubal Road began to charge from the south of the coal mine. The opponent was under the banner of the new regiment of the 386th Brigade. They were very brave and carried two Type 92 infantry cannons!
Definitely the most elite main group on Tubal Road! "
When Nakao Satoshi heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Brigade 386? ?
That is the most elite main force among the Eight Route Army!
He even heard that there were other friendly forces and wrote "Specially against the 386th Brigade" on the armored vehicle!
As for this new group, he had also seen it from internal battle reports!
In the battle of Cangyunling, the captain of the Bantian Regiment of the Locust Army was killed by them, and the regiment flag was also snatched away by them, which directly led to the cancellation of the Bantian Regiment!
It is simply a formidable enemy that the Locust Army must destroy!
With cold sweat all over his back, Nakao Satoshi was a little at a loss. He had a premonition that the Shuiquan Coal Mine was being targeted by such a powerful enemy and might not be able to save it.
And there is a high probability that the enemy’s ultimate target should be Shuiquan City!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to dispatch such a powerful main force to attack a small coal mine!
What are they planning?
Is there countless coal in the coal mine?
You can't eat or drink this thing. Why did Tuba Road snatch it away?
At this time, on the phone, Hayashida Shinji saw that he was silent and shouted again:
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the enemy's offensive is too fierce. We request tactical guidance!"
Reminded by this sentence, Satoshi Nakao woke up and quickly gave the same reply as before:
“Continue to hold on and strive to ensure the safety of coal mines!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.
He thought to himself: Just kidding, guarding the spring is the most serious thing now!
If the coal mine is lost, it can be regained. If the water spring is lost, it will shock the base camp.
Hayashida Shinji couldn't help but feel his teeth itching with hatred after being treated like this.
Immediately sent someone to call another squadron leader Takai Ryuji.
As soon as Takai Ryuji arrived, he sneered:
"Lintian-kun, why did you ask me to come?
My squadron has been completely destroyed as you wished. "
Hayashida Shinji had just been unhappy with Nakao Soichi, the commander of the regiment's staff, and now he was angry. Hearing Takai Ryuji's words, he immediately cursed:
"idiot!
Mr. Gaojing, it was obviously your poor command and underestimation of the enemy that led to the rash advance, which cost the lives of more than a hundred Locust Army warriors! "
“Bageya Road, you are obviously the one who asked my people to go out and die!
You are the sinner of my locust army! "
At that time, he was almost killed by a heavy machine gun fire from the special agent battalion soldiers. Takai Ryuji, who had walked outside the gate of hell, also showed off his cards and showed off his cards. He was not afraid of Hayashida Shinji's higher rank than him at all, and he fought hard on the spot.
When Hayashida Shinji saw that a lieutenant actually dared to speak like this to his captain, he was so angry that he wished he could pull out the saber from his waist and chop this arrogant guy in half.
But listening to the intensive gunfire outside, he knew that this was not a good time for internal strife, so he could only grit his teeth and restrain himself, saying coldly:
"Takai-kun, I am ordering you now to take your people to the south wall for reinforcements immediately and block the Tubal Road!"
Of course Takai Ryuji didn’t want to go, he shook his head and said:
"My squadron has been decimated and there are no men left."
"Even if you are the only one left, put up the wall immediately!"
Hayashida Shinji's hand was already on the saber at his waist.
Although he really didn't want to, if this bastard was dishonest, then he would have no choice but to deal with it harshly.
At least if you kill this bastard, the twenty or thirty people under him can be used!
The troops in the coal mine are now tense, and twenty or thirty people are a fighting force!
Comparable to a hundred mine police.
"you--"
Takai Ryuji also felt murderous intent.
He knew that as long as he said "no", the opponent's saber might be cut off.
Fortunately, at this time, a messenger rushed in and rescued him——
…
When Ding Wei started to attack, Yang Yuanshan also ordered the entire battalion to attack.
Four infantry companies formed formation from the north and west of the coal mine and rushed towards the more than two-meter-high wall of the coal mine.
The Type 92 infantry guns and mortars of each company also began to fire angry shells at the wall and the little Japanese on the wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
There were a total of 8 Type 92 infantry guns and 4 60mm mortars in the four companies, which caused the masonry of the coal mine walls to fly randomly.
As for their 24 heavy machine guns, they also chose favorable terrain to establish machine gun positions and began fire cover.
The defenders deployed by the Japs on the wall were so suppressed by artillery shells and heavy machine guns that they did not even dare to raise their heads.
For a while, the attack by the soldiers of the special agent battalion was very smooth.
The little Japanese team leader in charge of the guard could only send someone to report to the squadron leader Hayashida Shinji with a look of panic on his face and ask for support.
…
In the squadron headquarters, Shinji Hayashida and Ryuuji Takai were at war with each other, eager to draw their swords and fight.
At this time, the messenger rushed in and shouted in horror:
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, Tubal Road appears on the west wall. The opponent's strength is about one regiment, with two infantry guns, one mortar, and twelve heavy machine guns. The offensive is very fierce!
Request tactical guidance! "
Hearing this, Takai Ryuji couldn't help but smile and said mockingly:
"Lintian-kun, both the south and west are in danger now. Which side do you want to save?"
Hearing this, Hayashida Shinji almost fainted from anger, his face turned red and he cursed angrily:
"Baga! You bastard are Tubalu's undercover agent?"
"Hmph, Hayashida-kun, your methods of framing and slandering your colleagues are too despicable!"
Takai Ryuji sneered.
Hayashida Shinji was so angry that his hands were shaking, but thinking about the ferocious eight-pronged offensive outside, he still tried hard to restrain his urge to kill, stamped his feet and shouted angrily:
“Bagya Road!
Mr. Gaojing, I order you to immediately take your people to the west wall to resist the Tuba Road attack!
Otherwise I will let you understand what military law is! "
Seeing that the other party was really anxious, Takai Ryuuji also let out a bad breath in his heart. He didn't dare to stab him again, so he could only nod in agreement:
"Hi!"
Then, just as he was about to go out, he saw another panicked messenger rushing outside. He ran in and shouted:
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, a large number of elite Tubal soldiers have also appeared on the northern wall. They are about the size of a regiment. With two Type 92 infantry guns and a 60mm mortar, they are frantically shelling our wall.
Moreover, they also have up to twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns, and their offensive is very fierce!
Request tactical guidance! "
"Nani? Another group?
How can our coal mine allow Tubal Road to attack with dozens of cannons and three main regiments? "
Hayashida Shinji was a little doubtful about life, and thought to himself: What the hell are we digging for is coal, not gold?
Tubalu, you come here with so many people bullying me, is this too much?
But Takai Ryuji next to him felt extremely happy and said to himself: You bastard, I want to see what you do next!
Even if I want to be loyal to His Majesty Tian Locust, I will drag you bastard with me!
…
When the New Regiment and the Special Agent Battalion launched an all-out attack on the Shuiquan Coal Mine side, Zhang Dabiao also led the soldiers of the First Battalion on the Taolingou side. With great fanfare, under the banner of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, they headed north of Shuiquan City. Rushed over.
They first knocked down a few observation posts and warning posts of the Japs outside the city, then swaggered into position and began to dig trenches, approaching the Shuiquan city wall.
The speed seems to be fast but is actually slow, and the main one is aggressive, but the distance is still far away from entering the 38-meter range of the little devil.
When the little Japs guarding Shuiquan City saw them, they could only order the heavy machine guns with a longer range to fire first to suppress them, while they quickly ran to report to Nakao Satoshi:
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, a regiment from Tubal Road has arrived from the north of the city. Under the banner of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, they are digging trenches and attacking us!"
"Nani? 386th Brigade Independent Regiment??"
Nakao Satoshi was extremely shocked.
This is the biggest enemy of their alliance and their division!
They captured Heyuan County. It can be said that the 225th Regiment fell to where it is today mainly because of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment!
He immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a report to the division headquarters of the 37th Division:
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I am in Shuiquan City. We have been fiercely attacked by one brigade of the 8th Route 386 Brigade and about three or four main regiments. Currently, the enemy's exposed numbers include the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment!
The enemy has dozens of cannons, plenty of artillery shells, and a very fierce offensive. Our Shuiquan City currently has less than 2,000 soldiers and only 4 infantry cannons. Please give us tactical guidance!
Extremely urgent! ! ! "
…
After sending the telegram, Nakao Satoshi ordered the entire city's defenders, including the Locust Alliance Army, to go up to the city wall to defend.
The gendarmerie and military police patrol the entire city to prevent anyone from causing chaos in the city.
This action immediately surprised everyone from all forces in the city.
Is this the first time since the little devils occupied Shuiquan?
In addition, they also heard the sound of cannons from the west and gunfire from the north, so they naturally understood that someone was attacking Shuiquan City.
So these people naturally began to use their own methods and began to inquire for information.
…
Soon, someone figured out that the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was attacking in the north of the city.
So they immediately spread the news to all parties through the radio station hidden in the basement.
The first person to bear the brunt was naturally the former native emperor of Jin, Yan Lao.
His telecommunications office received the telegram and did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly sent the telegram to Yan Laojie's office.
Yan Laojie was discussing the tense situation around Zhongtiao Mountain with Yang Xingru, Xu Cichen, Wang Jingguo, Sun Cuiya and other confidants. When he was interrupted by the telecommunications staff, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy and said coldly:
"What's the bad news?"
The telecommunications staff officer didn't know that he was being reckless. He couldn't help sweating on his forehead and said tremblingly:
"Sir Yan, the news came from the inside of Shuiquan City that the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is attacking Shuiquan!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Yan Laojie even opened his eyes wide and blurted out:
"What do you mean?
Eighth Route Army dared to fetch water from the spring?
Have they eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage? "
