Of course, Zhang Tianhai, who was still fighting on the front line, didn't know about Chief Xu's anger. He was leading his troops to fight in front.
Just now, we have captured another direction of the Japanese army, and we are about to approach the Japanese command center step by step.
Looking at the desperate look of the leader, Lu Shaojie was really scared. What if something happened?
So Lu Shaojie said: "Team leader, why don't you go back! Just wait for me to lead the team to attack this small problem."
Zhang Tianhai was excited to rush. How could he agree to Lu Shaojie's request? He said: "What? You want me to go back? No, no, no. Let's do this. I will lead an army and you will lead an army. Let's see who charges first." Go to the Japanese headquarters!"
Lu Shaojie was a little tempted by Zhang Tianhai's tempting idea. He said: "Okay, regimental leader, then you can bring the troops of the second company up! I will take the troops of our first company up!"
At this moment, a Japanese light machine gun from the commanding heights of the house in front began to shoot at Zhang Tianhai and others.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The bullet hit the sandbag in front of Zhang Tianhai and others, and there was a "knock, click, click" sound. Bullet holes began to appear on the sacks, but the sand did not flow out along the bullet holes.
Zhang Tianhai grabbed Lu Shaojie who was about to leave and said, "Wait, wait until we kill the light machine gun above!"
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai snatched the Mauser 1924 rifle from the hands of the soldiers around him, loaded the bullet, and shouted: "Machine gunner, cover fire!"
Just when the light machine gunner of the Zhiyi Regiment was about to come forward and shoot, the Japanese machine gunner lying on the roof immediately aimed his gun in the direction of the machine gunner and opened fire immediately.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Several consecutive machine gun bullets hit the brick wall, leaving bullet holes.
"Captain! No, he's aiming at me!" the machine gunner shouted, because the street width here is relatively narrow and cannot accommodate too many machine gunners.
"It's worthless." Zhang Tianhai cursed, and then removed another grenade from the waist of the officer and soldier beside him.
After unscrewing the screw cap at the end, Zhang Tianhai pulled the pull cord, and the sound of "squeaking" was accompanied by gunpowder smoke.
Zhang Tianhai silently counted twice and immediately threw the grenade forward with force.
The Japanese machine gunner on the roof moved his gun muzzle almost subconsciously.
"Boom!!!"
I saw the grenades thrown out explode instantly. The violent explosion and the flash of light caused the Japanese machine gunner to close his eyes reflexively. At this moment, a 7.92mm caliber The bullet penetrated his helmet and hit his head.
His helmet was instantly filled with blood and brains, and a trace of blood flowed from the brim. The scene was very bloody!
"Good marksmanship!" Seeing this heroic scene, Lu Shaojie couldn't help but admire. He had an almost perfect marksmanship in the group. Apart from the group member, who else could possess it?
"Brothers! Charge!" Zhang Tianhai roared.
At this moment, the momentum of the officers and soldiers of the regiment had reached its peak, and countless officers and soldiers were roaring and rushing forward.
It is an honor to fall on the road of charge, even if you die in battle!
This is a national war, a national war fought for the survival of the nation!
…
Compared with Zhang Tianhai's straight team's victory, as his opponent, Sakamoto Shun's face was ashen.
As the sound of gunfire gradually approached, Jun Sakamoto knew that he could not wait for Sato Masaki's reinforcements to arrive. The muscles on his slender horse face were trembling gently, and his beard, which was already a little gray, was also gently shaking. Trembling.
"Gentlemen, prepare to be loyal to the Emperor!" Jun Sakamoto said in a deep voice with a very serious expression.
"Hai!!"
After burning all the confidential documents, more than a dozen officers and soldiers from the headquarters gathered around Jun Sakamoto.
Looking at the expressions of everyone in front of him, Sakamoto Shun pulled out the katana from his waist, and saw that the blade was very cold and cold.
After seeing the brigade commander draw his sword, the officers at the headquarters also drew their samurai swords from their waists, while the Japanese soldiers fixed their rifles with bayonets.
After doing all this, Sakamoto Jun strode to the last correspondent and said in a deep voice: "Immediately call His Excellency the division commander Itagaki Seishiro and say that Sakamoto Jun has lived up to the division commander's high expectations. Today, Sakamoto Jun is in command." All of you are about to die soon. I wish you good luck in military affairs, Commander of the Division! The 21st Brigade, Brigade Commander Jun Sakamoto."
Soon, Seishiro Itagaki in Qingdao received a telegram from Jun Sakamoto in the direction of Linyi.
"Snapped!"
A white porcelain tea cup was thrown to the ground, and it immediately broke into pieces, which shows how much strength the owner of the tea cup used.
"Baga! Baga!" An angry male voice came from the office, accompanied by two slaps.
The one who cursed and beat was none other than Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, and the one who was beaten was the deputy chief of the Communications Section who came to deliver the telegram.
The Japanese communications officer was slapped twice. It was very painful, but he did not dare to rub it. He could only lower his head and said: "Hai!"
The division commander usually always looks calm and confident, but this time he was so out of his mind. Apart from something big happening on the front line, what else could it be?
You know, this Sakamoto detachment is the main infantry force of the Fifth Division. What about two and a half infantry regiments, plus strengthened artillery units? That's three regiments, a whole brigade and a half.
Jun Sakamoto's headquarters are all "broken". What does this mean? This means that the troops of the Fifth Division in Linyi will suffer a devastating blow!
"Order the cavalry regiment to set off immediately! Set off immediately!" Itagaki Seishiro shouted, his eyes already red with anger.
"Hai!" the communications officer responded.
Itagaki Seishiro knew that even if the entire cavalry regiment could be gathered at this time and they traveled on a starry night, it would probably be too late, but he couldn't just sit back and watch the Sakamoto detachment being annihilated without doing anything, right?
…
The camera returned to the Tangtou Town battlefield.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai led his troops to break through two more street intersections. On the other side, Li Chunfei's 1st Battalion and Han Xingle's 4th Battalion were also fighting towards the center of Tangtou Town. The battle was not extremely fierce.
The troops of this regiment are originally well-equipped with weapons, and the caliber of the rifles in their hands is indeed larger than that of the Japanese army's 38-year-old Gai. Moreover, the troop organization is indeed relatively large, and its firepower is compared to that of the Japanese army. Not weak at all.
As a result, the progress of the first and fourth battalions was relatively smooth.
Less than forty minutes after the battle began, the officers and soldiers of the three battalions had advanced to the last line of defense of Jun Sakamoto's headquarters, and there was a faint tendency to encircle them. The progress was not unsatisfactory.
And just when Zhang Tianhai was about to lead his troops to break through the last line of defense of the Japanese army, Guo Qiliang, who was outside the city, received a very bad news. Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive, numbering around a thousand people!
As the chief of staff, Guo Qiliang knew very well what it meant when the Japanese reinforcements arrived at this time. It was very likely that a knife would be stabbed behind the main force of the Zhiyi Regiment, and the troops would be attacked from both sides. And then suffered heavy losses!
"Quickly, notify the first and fourth battalion commanders immediately so that they can prepare for battle and rely on strong terrain to block the enemy!" Guo Qiliang said to the messenger next to him.
"Yes! Sir!" the ordering soldier responded.
Then, Guo Qiliang said to the cavalry who had just come to report the news: "You, immediately go back to the cavalry camp to convey the order from the regiment headquarters, tell you Battalion Commander Wang to withdraw to the regiment headquarters immediately, and ask him to send someone to notify the first and fourth battalions. Artillery battery, withdraw into the town immediately and wait for the large troops to return for reinforcements!"
"Yes! Sir!" the cavalryman responded.
Guo Qiliang knew very well about the little devil's fighting power. He had no intention of underestimating the enemy, and he could not afford to lose even if he was a group. If he was seriously injured in this battle, how long would it take to regain his fighting power?
So, Guo Qiliang walked to the communications staff again and said: "Immediately call the troops guarding Tangshan Col and ask Deputy Commander Zhou to lead all the troops to return to Tangtou Town immediately!"
"Yes! Sir!" the communications staff officer responded.
Guo Qiliang is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt. He also knows that he has been charged with disobedience anyway. As long as the battle in Tangtou Town is fought well, nothing will happen. If something happens to Tangtou Town, even if If a Japanese soldier is not allowed to pass through Tangshan Pass, he, Zhang Tianhai, and Zhou Fangjie will not escape the blame!
At this time, the battle in Tangtou Town has reached its final moment!
"Mortars! Bomb me!!" Zhang Tianhai roared. The bombing he was talking about was to blow up the firepower point of the last line of defense of the Japanese army, which was also defended by the last two heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's grenade launchers kept throwing bombs in front of Zhang Tianhai and others. Many brothers fell under this burst of shelling!
Zhang Tianhai knew very well that as long as the mortars could knock out the Japanese firepower in front of him, then the main force of the army could rush over. Once the main force of the army rushed over, it would only take a few grenades, that is, two shuttles.
Don't forget, mortars are not only much larger in caliber than grenades that exist like ultra-light mortars, but also have a much longer range.
Soon, two mortars from the mortar company came up to support.
"Tum!" "Tum!"
The sound of two mortar shells being fired was heard. The two mortar shells drew an arc in the air, then hit the ground hard and exploded.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
It was a pity that both shells exploded crookedly. The artilleryman immediately adjusted the direction of the muzzle and fired two more shells!
"Tum!" "Tum!"
Just two muffled crashes were heard, and two mortar shells hit the direction of the last heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese army. The seven or eight Japanese soldiers were killed immediately!
After seeing the explosion on the opposite side through the corner, Zhang Tianhai immediately shouted: "Come on!"
Another melodious charge sound sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment launched the final attack on the Sakamoto detachment headquarters!
