The fighting was still going on. After the Sixth Battalion of the First Guard Regiment received the order from Zhang Tianhai, battalion commander Wang Liang immediately organized troops to cross the Huangsha River to urgently reinforce the Second Battalion of the Second Guard Regiment.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the balance of victory is tilting towards the national army in Huangsha Town!
…
However, while the house-to-house street fighting was going on in Huangsha Town, the battlefield at Xinqianghe River did not stop either.
Although the battle in Huangsha Town was very fierce, compared to the Xinqiang River battlefield, it really pales into insignificance.
Aircraft bombing, artillery bombardment, the artillery shells and aerial bombs were bombing the positions on the south bank of the Xinqiang River as if they were free - there was no way, this was the main attack direction designated by Okamura Ningji, and it received strong support from the Japanese military headquarters support.
You know, whether it is the view of the Japanese military headquarters or the commander of the Japanese Eleventh Army Okamura Neiji, as long as it costs more to capture Changsha or completely annihilate the Fifteenth National Army, it will be is worth it.
Therefore, with the strong support of the Japanese military headquarters and the effective execution of the commander of the Japanese Eleventh Army, Okamura Neiji, the intensity of this attack was quite large.
With the intensity of the battle, even if Zhang Tianhai personally led his first regiment of guards to garrison here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last for more than a day - there was no way, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too great. This indiscriminate bombing will cost as many sacrifices and casualties as possible.
In particular, the Japanese army specifically targeted the positions of Cloupe Mountain and Jinlong Mountain for bombing. After all, it was the easiest place to cross the river to fight. By the way, I forgot to mention: the last time the Ninth Theater District guard troops fought with the Japanese army was at Jinlong Mountain. Got it!
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
…
Facing the overwhelming artillery fire, a company commander of the defenders of the 195th Division couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck little Japan, these artillery shells are hitting like fucking rain! I really thought the artillery shells were free. ah!"
However, the company commander's curses were almost completely useless.
Why is it useless? It wasn't because the overwhelming artillery fire almost drowned out his voice.
In addition to the sweeping artillery fire, the Japanese infantry were not idle. They had already crossed the Xinqiang River in assault boats. At this time, they were all in full gear and were waiting for the artillery fire to stop. , and immediately launched a charge forward.
…
The camera returns to the Huangsha Town battlefield where a fierce battle is taking place.
At this time, the battle in Huangsha Town was still fierce. As time passed by, the Japanese army was also compressing the living space of the Second Battalion of the Third Guard Regiment step by step.
"Second Battalion, rest!" Battalion Commander Huang Erfan let out a long sigh, randomly took out the Mauser pistol from his waist and loaded the bullet.
Huang Erfan wants to commit suicide? Bah, of course not. He wants to wait for the Japanese army to rush over, and then fight with them in the final battle. Including his battalion security platoon, everyone was already ready for battle.
Not only is marriage like a wall, but war is also like a wall. People on the outside want to get in, and people on the inside want to get out.
Yes, this is talking about the Japanese commander in charge of this battle, Colonel Shunyi Sakamoto!
Hearing the gunshots in the city getting closer and closer, Sakamoto Shunyi also knew clearly: his troops were quickly moving closer to the city, and maybe he would be able to win this battle soon!
But it often happens that the sky does not follow people's wishes. For example, Sakamoto Shunyi now clearly saw that the balance of victory was tilting towards him, but at this moment, a column of smoke rising in the distance made him feel... Very bad!
So what could be raising smoke and dust at this time? That was either a small cavalry unit or a large enemy infantry unit!
As for these two results, no matter which one they are, it is extremely unfavorable for Sakamoto Shunyi! You know, his alliance is no longer what it was in its heyday. More than half of it was already dead or injured. If he were to sap him like this again, he really didn't want him to live.
"Damn China Army! They have used Huangsha Town as a trap from the beginning. They have been plotting against us from the beginning, these damn China people!" Sakamoto Shunyi was almost crazy, but he knew that it might be possible. Will fail, but he cannot issue a retreat order!
Sakamoto Shunyi knew that if a retreat order was issued at this time, not only would his troops' previous efforts be wasted, but it would also put his troops in a dangerous situation - that is, if the national army saw the vulnerability of their troops at this time, they would instruct them to retreat. Maybe they would launch a full-scale counterattack right away, and then their troops would not be able to take advantage of them.
…
Originally, Huang Erfan had already been determined to live and die with Huangsha Town, but at this moment, the fighting outside suddenly became more intense. When he listened carefully, he found that fierce fighting was happening at the same time in the west and south. !
What does this mean? This means a way out!
Huang Erfan knew that his troops had been almost exhausted during the Japanese offensive, let alone now. Now fierce battles can occur in the west and south at the same time, which proves that reinforcements have arrived!
"Brothers, listen, we will go out to attack these little Japanese in a while and try to lure them here. Otherwise, the booby traps we laid earlier will be wasted and the reinforcements will be accidentally injured!" Huang Erfan made a prompt decision and gave the order directly.
"Yes! Battalion Commander!!" the national army officers and soldiers in the room responded.
After preparations were completed, Huang Erfan immediately led his troops to an exit without booby traps, and then attracted the Japanese army to attack.
Since each company and platoon are responsible for the layout in their respective jurisdictions, Huang Erfan and others are still very familiar with the locations of the booby traps in the areas they are responsible for. Under such circumstances, the battle naturally went very smoothly - because countless Japanese troops were already there Charged in their direction.
With the sound of booby trap explosions, these Japanese soldiers finally became frightened: how many traps were buried in this little-known town and how many bombs were built. The key is that there are so many gun holes, and they have no idea what they are. Where did the gun come from? It doesn’t matter that there are many hidden arrows, the key is that the open firepower is so fierce! Now we finally see the light coming, good guys, reinforcements are coming!
Under such circumstances, the remaining officers and soldiers of the Japanese brigade that were originally preparing to capture Huangsha Town finally decided to give up. They began to retreat and no longer tried every means to capture the remaining houses in Huangsha Town, even if It means sticking to the original position and making no preparations.
Everything happened so suddenly, even Sakamoto Shunyi himself never expected it!
