Tiegang's cavalry battalion suddenly appeared behind the Japanese artillery position, killed the Japanese artillery brigade without much effort, seized the Japanese cannon, and launched a fierce bombardment at the 144th Regiment.
Under the bombardment of artillery, Gong Chengliangtian, the captain of the Japanese 144th Regiment, was killed, so that the 144th Division Regiment lost unified command for a while, and the soldiers became a mess and fled in all directions.
"Cavalry battalion, advance!"
On the high ground, Tiegang roared and rushed down with hundreds of cavalry, their sharp sabers flashing with cold light in the sun.
"Kill!" Tie Gang shouted, taking the lead and rushing to the front.
"kill!"
Hundreds of cavalry were so murderous that they swallowed mountains and rivers, rolled up smoke and dust, and headed towards the Japanese troops scattered around.
"flutter!"
Tie Gang waved his saber and chopped off the head of a Japanese with one blow, and then chased the next Japanese. The Japanese was considered tough, so he simply stopped running. He yelled and rushed towards Tie Gang with a bayonet in hand.
Tiegang turned his body sideways on the horse, raised the saber in his hand, and directly chopped off the Japanese head and shoulders.
Under the city wall, Tiegang's cavalry battalion was raging back and forth, chasing the remaining defeated Japanese soldiers everywhere.
Not long after, the entire battlefield was littered with headless corpses and broken limbs shattered by shells. At this time, the new battalion in Wangqing City also came out and participated in the pursuit of the Japs.
Under the snow, the Japanese were running around helplessly. Some even stuck their heads in the snow in an attempt to escape, but in the end they were ruthlessly slaughtered.
The setting sun was like blood, and the bloody battle below Wangqing City ended quickly. The 144th Japanese Infantry Regiment, including an attached field artillery brigade, was completely wiped out. Nearly four dozen people were left bleeding at Wangqing City.
In comparison, the New First Battalion only suffered less than a hundred casualties, while the cavalry battalion suffered only dozens of casualties. This was a complete victory, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle were all over the walls of Wangqing City.
.
After the war, more than a hundred Japanese prisoners were captured, and Xu Rui ordered them all to be executed on the spot.
"Captain, you killed so many little Japs in one fell swoop and didn't even keep a single prisoner. I'm afraid the little Japs will go crazy with anger and fight to the death with us," He Shuya said.
"This is exactly what I intended." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"Are you deliberately trying to anger the little devil?" He Shuya's heart moved after hearing Xu Rui's words.
"Yes, I just want to anger the little devil's commander. People only make mistakes when they are angry, and once the devil's commander makes a mistake, our chance will come." Xu Rui said.
At this moment, Sun Changhe and Yang Banan from the second battalion, and Lin Wei from the fourth battalion came with their troops one after another. These two troops battled wits and courage with the Japs along the way, and eliminated many Japs soldiers, including only
Lin Wei's fourth battalion killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers. As a result, of the four main battalions that attacked this time, only Gao Chu's third battalion did not return.
"Why hasn't Gao Chu arrived yet?" Xu Rui thought to himself under the moonlight. Now three groups of four groups of people have gathered, and only a group of people and horses are seen coming from a distance. Gao Chu is seen leaving from a distance.
come over.
"Gao Chu, I thought something happened to you, so I finally came back." Xu Rui said.
"Haha, captain, I was bitten by the Japanese army, but luckily, I finally got back on time." Gao Chu said with a smile.
"Just come back." Xu Rui saw that all the battalion supervisors had arrived, summoned them in front of him, and then asked, "Have all the Japanese behind you followed?"
"Everyone is following." The chief officers of each battalion expressed their opinions one after another. They had been constantly harassing the Japanese along the way and had achieved some results. Now they all started to show off their achievements along the way.
"Although Camp Commander Huang is not here, our Second Battalion killed more than 300 Japs along the way." Yang Banan said with satisfaction.
"I said, Lao Yang, what do more than 300 Japanese soldiers mean? Our fourth battalion killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers, which is enough for two squadrons." Lin Wei said.
When Lin Wei opened his mouth, Yang Badan rolled his eyes and said to himself, "What's so good about you Lin Wei? Just because you fought well in this battle, it doesn't mean that you can fight well in future battles."
Xu Rui turned his gaze to Gao Chu and asked, "What results have your three battalions achieved along the way?"
Gao Chu chuckled and said: "On our journey, we killed two squadrons of Japanese soldiers and one brigade of Japanese soldiers. It's not that many, just about a thousand Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers."
Hearing what Gao Chu said, Yang Banan became more energetic and said: "I say Lin Wei, look at the record of the third battalion, it seems to be much better than you."
"You, it's fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, you are not as good as me." Lin Wei said.
"It's not bad. Your three battalions combined have killed nearly two thousand Japanese and puppet soldiers along the way, which has consumed the Japanese's vitality and energy. Now, our four battalions have withdrawn, and the other Japanese of the 48th Division have
They are about to catch up. Although we have eliminated more than 4,000 Japanese during the day, according to estimates, the 48th Division should still have two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one heavy infantry regiment, and one engineering regiment.
The total strength combined should be more than 10,000. The strength we have now is four infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, plus the Wolf Fang Brigade. The total strength is more than 3,000 and less than 4,000. The strength of the enemy and ours is comparable.
It’s three to one.”
"Captain, this battle is not going to be easy," Lin Wei said.
"Hey, if it's not easy to fight, I'll fight. I'm going to swallow this 48th Division in one go."
"What? Commander, you want to devour the 48th Division in one go? More than 3,000 people want to kill more than 10,000 people on the other side? This seems a bit difficult." Yang Balan couldn't say.
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "Soldiers need to be elite rather than large. As long as the commander uses them properly, he can defeat more with less. For example, in the battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu only had a few thousand men, but he could not kill Wang Mang's entire army of 400,000."
Destroyed? Our new regiment has fought too few battles to win more with less?"
"Yes, our regiment only has a few thousand people. After entering the Northeast, we killed hundreds of thousands of Japs. How could we not win more with less?" He Shuya said.
"Yes, with our commander's style, it is possible to kill two Japanese divisions, let alone one Japanese division. Commander, am I right?" Gao Chu patted Xu Rui's horse.
fart.
Xu Rui is a person who can wear a lot of clothes, but can never wear a flattery, and Xu Rui still sounds very useful if he talks highly.
After coughing slightly, Xu Rui said: "The first battalion and the cavalry battalion fought well today. The strength of your two battalions killed an infantry regiment and an artillery brigade of the Japanese. Forget it, it gave me a bad breath."
, Next, our target is the Japanese’s 48th Division, I want to eat it in one bite, and I not only want to eat the 48th Division, but also Yamashita Fengwen’s 7th Army!”
"What?"
After hearing Xu Rui's words, everyone was dumbfounded.
With Xu Rui's commanding ability, it was possible to defeat the 48th Division with a small victory over a large number, but his idea to swallow up Yamashita Fengwen's 7th Army in one go was too bold.
You know, Yamashita Fengfumi's Seventh Army has four main divisions, one special operations division, and a heavy troop group of 60,000 to 70,000 people.
If you include the local troops under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Army, then Yamashita Fengwen commands an army of more than 100,000 people, while the new anti-alliance regiment only has 5,000 people in total, and the number of people fighting on the outside this time is only more than 3,000.
, wanting to devour the 100,000-strong Seventh Army with more than 3,000 people, Xu Rui's courage is simply as bold as the sky.
However, others did not believe it, but the officers of the New Anti-Japanese Regiment believed Xu Rui's words. Over the years, Xu Rui led them to achieve brilliant achievements one after another, from Wuxi to Dameishan, then to Shanghai, Hetao, until
In the last Northeast, Xu Rui continued to create one miracle after another in the history of war.
In everyone's eyes, Xu Rui is a god of war. As long as he is around, there is no battle that cannot be won. As long as what he says can be achieved, so although they are extremely shocked, these subordinates of Xu Rui
But they believed in his words because, in their eyes, Xu Rui was omnipotent.
At that moment, Xu Rui talked about the deployment of the battle. To his surprise, Xu Rui only left one battalion in the city. He Shuya and the Langya Brigade of the first battalion were stationed in Wangqing County, and the rest of the troops withdrew secretly.
In Wangqing County, they went to various villages outside the city to rest and recuperate, waiting for Xu Rui's order before they could launch a counterattack.
"Captain, is it too risky to leave only one battalion to defend the city?" several battalion commanders said one after another.
"Wangqing County is not big. There are too many people left, but it is a bit crowded. As long as the Japs are shot down, we will pay a huge price. Instead of holding on here, it is better to leave the main force outside the city and wait until the Japs are exhausted.
If we launch a counterattack when the time comes, we will definitely win in one battle." Xu Rui said.
Although the battalion commanders were somewhat reluctant, Xu Rui had supreme authority in the new regiment. At that moment, all the battalion commanders expressed their intention to lead their troops out of the city immediately.
In the end, only Xu Rui, Leng Tiefeng, and He Shuya were left in the conference room.
"Whether this battle can be won or not mainly depends on whether you two can defend Wangqing. Do you have confidence?" Xu Rui asked.
"Captain, our first battalion is the main battalion, and with the help of the Langya Brigade, there will be no problem in defending Wangqing County." He Shuya assured, patting his chest.
"Well, your battalion first mobilizes the people in the city to donate all the oil and wood before the devils come, and then evacuate the people before the devils arrive. After the devils attack the city, you must hold on to the city wall, and at the same time,
Place anti-infantry directional mines in the city and set up a mine formation for the Japanese to kill the Japanese to the maximum extent possible."
"Yes!" He Shuya responded.
"Captain, what is the mission of our Langya?" Leng Tiefeng asked quickly.
Xu Rui looked at Leng Tiefeng, smiled slightly, and said: "Langya's mission is to sleep!"
