What is the emergency?
An emergency situation is when you don't know anything and it happens suddenly.
This is what happened to Yoshizawa Junichi, Kiba and others——
Before the two shells were fired, the Japanese troops on top of the city felt knocked over by a shock wave, and then the entire city wall collapsed!
Seen from a distance, the entire southern wall of Lanfeng County was blown down!
Everything around was shaking, and the southern wall of Lanfeng, the county seat standing east of Kaifeng, collapsed.
The collapse of the southern city wall caused a huge gap to appear in Lanfeng County.
After seeing this scene, the eyes of Huang Zheng, the commander of the 262nd Brigade, couldn't help but light up: He also knew that this was a good opportunity. If they did not seize this opportunity, if they tried to win this place again, they would not be able to win it. It’s not that easy anymore!
Huang Zheng was not the kind of indecisive person. If he wanted to take action, he had to act immediately, so he immediately pulled out the gun from his waist and shouted: "Order the troops to launch the most violent attack on the southern city wall at all costs!!" "
At Huang Zheng's order, the 262nd Brigade and a regiment of the 87th Division immediately launched a desperate attack on the southern wall of Lanfeng County!
Their goal is to take advantage of this good opportunity to capture Lan Feng!
At the order of Huang Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the front line, the troops of the national army rushed towards the huge gap in the southern city wall of Lanfeng County like waves!
At this time, the Japanese army's outer positions had been basically cleared. The only threat before was the Japanese firepower on the city walls. But now with the collapse of the city walls, the Japanese troops on these walls have died and will not survive.
In other words, as long as they can rush through, their forward troops can break into Lanfeng County!
At this point, is there still firepower that can stop them?
there is none left! Their only remaining task is to charge!
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Nationalist Army rushed forward desperately in order to be the first to rush into Lanfeng County. By that time, the person who broke into the city would definitely be the first to succeed!
Although these big-headed soldiers look quite honest, one or two of them are very capable——
They know better than anyone what kind of remuneration they will receive after making their first contribution: promotion to the third level is definitely not a problem, and more importantly, there will be huge ocean rewards!
"This battle is probably settled. This Zhang Tianhai is really not a simple person. Even if he is in prison, he can achieve such a great achievement. It cannot be underestimated." Looking at the attack of the troops in front, Huang Zheng was very happy , a little disappointed again.
I am happy because I can win Lanfeng County! And it was captured under his command! This is definitely a great achievement!
But what about the loss? He was disappointed because although he won the county seat, he was not the first to do so! But Zhang Yulin, a guy who is so weird that he is almost magical!
However, Huang Zheng thought about it again and felt that it was nothing. It was better to have a meritorious service than to get nothing at all. At the very least, it would be of great help in getting promoted to a higher position in the future.
…
Huang Zheng felt comfortable and comfortable, but in short, his mood was still a little complicated. As the commander of the Japanese 14th Division, Kenji Doihara was not in a good mood.
"Snapped!!"
A teacup was thrown to the ground and immediately turned into pieces.
"Baga!! What on earth is going on? How could a good city wall be blown down?!" Doihara Kenji was scolding fiercely, but cursing could not solve any problem, except to make himself become more Beyond anger.
"Report...report to the division commander. I still don't know what happened. The city wall was suddenly blown down, and it collapsed inside! All the officers and soldiers on the top of the city were dead!" A Japanese Lieutenant Colonel Cheng said in fear, fearing that the division commander would be angry and hold him, and deal with it like a punching bag.
But there is no use in being afraid. When it is time to vent your anger, you still have to vent your anger.
"Snapped!!"
A big slap mark suddenly appeared on the face of the Japanese lieutenant colonel!
This slap was naturally given by Doihara Kenji. The county town that was originally good could still last at least a day or two, but now it collapsed all of a sudden. What else can be done?
It seems that there is no other better way than retreating. After all, if they want to engage in street fighting, they are obviously inferior to the national army that is several times their number!
So, Kenji Doihara must lead his troops to retreat - if he doesn't leave, he really won't be able to leave!
For a qualified commander, he should not make such a low-level mistake.
So, just like that, after weighing the pros and cons, the Japanese army began to retreat. As for the direction in which they wanted to retreat, it was naturally the only stronghold - Sanyi Village!
Only there can they hope to hold on and have the chance to fight to the end. But if they stay in Lanfeng County, what awaits them will definitely be a dead end!
Because of this, Huang Zheng's troops hardly encountered much decent resistance after entering the city - almost all the sporadic troops left by the Japanese army were struggling to their death!
After the southern wall of Lanfeng County was blown down, Lanfeng County was captured by the officers and soldiers of the 71st Army within an hour!
When the news reached the ears of Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army, he could hardly believe the surprise and ecstasy - their troops had persisted for so long, but still could not capture Lanfeng County. Even clearing the Japanese army's outer positions still paid such a heavy price!
But compared to now? After the troops of the first regiment directly under the third theater took action, they were able to provide such great help. This was something Song Xilian never expected. After all, it was an unexpected surprise. Originally, he was just trying it. The idea of trying it out is, to put it bluntly, treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
However, now the dead horse is not only revived by medical treatment, but also alive and kicking! Why can't this be said to be an unexpected surprise?
But Song Xilian is not the kind of person who is at a loss except for joy.
When he learned that Lanfeng County had been breached, Song Xilian immediately issued an order: "Order the frontline troops to persist to the end, pursue the remaining bandits, maximize the results of the Nanfeng Battle, and strive to annihilate the Japanese Tenth Army in one fell swoop. The main force of the Fourth Division!"
After giving the order, Song Xilian also wanted to save the unlucky Zhang Tianhai who was imprisoned in Zhengzhou, so he ordered his subordinate staff officers to report the victory to the theater commander's headquarters in detail, hoping that this would be able to Zhang Tianhai was rescued from prison.
"Zhang Yulin, Zhang Yulin, whether you can come out this time depends on your own destiny. As an old officer, I can only help here to a limited extent..." Song Xilian sighed, no matter which one he came from On the one hand, he hoped that Zhang Tianhai could come out alive without losing a single hair. Even if Long Muhan, a deserter, was shot, he deserved it!
