Five minutes later, the meeting ended. Luo Feng led the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 3rd Puppet Army Regiment out of the east area of the city. In the next battle, the 3rd Puppet Army Regiment will be responsible for blocking the Japanese invading from the east gate.
△↗,
As soon as they arrived in the east of the city, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Puppet Army Regiment began to call every door, asking the people in the east area of the city to move immediately. This place will soon become a battlefield. It will be too dangerous for the people to stay here. I heard that this place is about to become a battlefield.
, the people in the east area of the city hurriedly helped the old and the young, picked up their children, and ran away one after another.
Suddenly, the entire eastern area of the city was filled with the cries of the elderly and children.
Looking at the chaotic and crowded streets, Luo Feng took out a cigarette with a heavy heart, lit it, and started smoking silently. The scene in front of him reminded him of Nanjing, and the Battle of Nanjing half a year ago.
In this way, when the Japanese invaders entered the city, the people were desperate and flocked to Xiaguan Pier, where they were eventually brutally massacred by the Japanese invaders.
However, this time, their 88th Division will not make the same mistake again. Back in Nanjing, their 88th Division failed to fulfill their duties as soldiers and failed to live and die with Nanjing, resulting in the massacre of 300,000 people in Nanjing. Now, they
However, the remnant soldiers of the 88th Division must survive and die with Feicheng. If the Japs want to pass from the east of the city, there is only one way, and that is to step over their corpses.
Footsteps sounded, and 3rd Battalion Commander Huang Zijie walked over.
Huang Zijie was originally the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Puppet Army, but the 3rd Battalion of the puppet army was recruited from the Wancheng Security Team. All of them fled as soon as the battle started. Now that Huang Zijie has become the battalion commander, Luo Feng simply
Keep him by your side as an adjutant, helping to run errands, conveying orders and so on.
Luo Feng said: "Zijie, let the brothers help the people move. The Japanese are about to arrive."
"I have already given instructions to the brothers just now." Huang Zijie nodded and said, "At the camp, Xu Rui asked us to go out of the east area of the city to block the front line of the Japanese attack, but the main force of his independent regiment huddled behind to watch.
Diorama, this is clearly using our brothers from the 88th Division as cannon fodder!"
"I know." Luo Feng put out the remaining half of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui may not have the intention of consuming the remnants of our 88th Division and preserving his Dameishan Independent Regiment, but even without Xu Rui's
Arrangement, shall we not fight this battle?"
Huang Zijie was silent, because Luo Feng was right. Even without Xu Rui's arrangement, the remnants of their 88th Division would still have to fight this battle sooner or later, because the Japanese would not let them leave obediently. If they wanted to leave, they had to fight with the Japanese
If you can't fight one battle, you have to fight both left and right, so why care about whether you are being taken advantage of?
Luo Feng added: "So, we must not only fight this battle, but also fight it well. We must show the majesty of the 88th Division and let their troops take a good look at what is a real regular army and what is a real regular army."
The real elites must know that China's war of resistance still depends on us!" Luo Feng didn't know that when he said this, it meant that he no longer had confidence in the National Army.
"Yes." Huang Zijie nodded heavily and said, "You are right, Yingzuo, we must fight this battle well."
Luo Feng added: "Xu Rui asked us to only guard two blocks, but let the little devils pass by on Dongmen Street. This shows that we don't believe in our combat effectiveness. Therefore, we insist on guarding Dongmen Street to prevent the little devils from entering. This way
, I will hand over the 1st Battalion, 1st Company and 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company to you, and the task of guarding Dongmen Street will be left to you."
Huang Zijie stood at attention and said: "Don't worry, camp. As long as I am still breathing, as long as there is a brother on the battlefield, the little Japs can't even think about getting past."
"Well, I believe you, go ahead." Luo Feng nodded.
Huang Zijie saluted Luo Feng with a military salute, turned around and walked away.
(Dividing line)
What came over from the east gate were the Japanese reinforcements from the station and the Feidong stronghold. However, Xu Rui miscalculated. The Japanese forces invested in the counterattack were far more than three infantry brigades and another tank detachment. In fact, just
The Japanese who escaped from the east gate had three infantry brigades and a chariot detachment.
In total, the Japanese who participated in the counterattack included five infantry brigades and a tank detachment!
The two extra infantry brigades are the supplementary corps that just arrived at Feicheng last night. These two infantry brigades were originally preparing to go north to Xuzhou to supplement the 9th and 13th divisions on the front line. They just arrived late last night.
Feicheng Station, so Xu Rui doesn't know.
These two sudden additions of supplementary brigades suddenly added many variables to the battle of Feicheng.
However, this is war, a cruel war, and unexpected changes will always happen.
The Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters still designated Sakamoto Kiyoshi as the commander of the Feicheng Front Japanese Army, because Sakamoto Kiyoshi was the lieutenant colonel and the highest-ranking officer in the Feicheng Japanese army besides Adachi Adachi and Kawabaki Tetsuya. However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was trapped in Feicheng at this time.
In the Western Stronghold, there is no time to spare.
Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi designated Major Taganiji, the commander of the station garrison brigade, as the commander of the Japanese troops on the east route.
Taganiji is a standard Japanese soldier. He is short in stature and only less than 1.60 meters tall. However, he is very strong and has a pair of fierce eyes. At first glance, he is a ruthless person. In fact, this little devil came from Shanghai.
They marched all the way to central Anhui and killed at least fifty innocent people.
The Japanese army's tactics are very clear, which is to launch attacks from the east gate and the south gate at the same time. After the Japanese army on the east route breaks through the city wall fortifications, the primary target is the arsenal, while after the Japanese army on the south route enters the city, the primary target is the oil depot. Compared with Feicheng
The garrison brigade headquarters, arsenal and oil depot are obviously more important.
After all, so much time has passed, and most of the Feicheng Garrison Brigade Headquarters has been lost, and the possibility of still holding on is extremely slim. Therefore, it is no longer important to rescue the Feicheng Garrison Brigade Headquarters, but to recapture the arsenal.
and oil depot.
Although Taguji has the strength of three infantry brigades, in addition to his own station garrison brigades, the other two supplementary brigades only have soldiers, without officers or key veterans, and these soldiers are all recruits who have just come from China.
No combat experience.
Of course, these two infantry brigades have no combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Taganiji broke up the two infantry brigades and incorporated them into his station garrison brigade respectively, and temporarily promoted all the officers of the station garrison brigade to one level. In other words, the organization of the garrison brigade was temporarily upgraded to
The garrison wing.
Taganiji took the chariot detachment as the vanguard, and the three infantry brigades launched an attack formation at the same time, rushing towards the east gate of Feicheng with great momentum. However, what surprised Taganiji was that the Chinese did not fortify the city wall at the east gate.
It was fortified and even the city gates were open.
"Empty City Strategy?" Taguci happened to have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
After another thought, Taganiji immediately remembered that this was no longer the era of cold weapons. Even if the Chinese resorted to the empty city strategy, there was nothing to fear. At that moment, Taganiji ordered the chariot detachment to postpone the attack, but instead took out a squadron from the 1st Infantry Battalion. He took the lead in entering the city gate.
After the Japanese squadron entered the city, they found that the city was completely dark and completely silent.
It was already around three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock in the morning, which was the darkest hour before dawn.
"Flare bombs!" the Japanese squadron leader gave the order, and the grenadiers fired two illumination bombs. The illumination bombs roared into the sky, instantly illuminating a radius of 500 meters, the entire Dongmen Street in front, and both sides of the street. The street scene on the side was presented to the Japanese without any reservation.
Fifty meters ahead, I saw the Chinese building a fortification blocking the street with bricks, door panels and solid wood furniture. About a dozen Chinese soldiers were squatting behind the fortification. It was almost impossible for the little devil to see the Chinese soldiers clearly. At the same time, the Chinese officers and soldiers guarding the fortifications also opened fire.
Seeing the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side opening fire, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers fell down one after another without waiting for the Japanese squadron leader's order. The two Type 92 heavy machine guns of the machine gun team and the three crooked light machine guns of each team also took the lead. After a while, we started shooting at the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side.
The firepower of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side was suppressed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the three grenade groups set up their grenade tubes. After hearing three "boom, boom, boom" sounds, three grenades roared into the air. The bright light of the illumination bomb obscured the trajectory of the grenades, and the fierce gunfire The sound also covered up the scream of the grenade as it flew, so the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side were unaware of it.
A second later, three grenades landed on the Chinese soldiers' position and exploded.
In the violent explosion, the temporary fortifications built by the Chinese soldiers with masonry, planks, and solid wood furniture were blown apart in an instant. More than a dozen Chinese soldiers hiding behind the fortifications were also blown to pieces. Within ten seconds, the Chinese defenses had been destroyed.
The Japanese squadron leader's lips immediately revealed a proud and sinister smile.
Doesn’t the legendary Dameishan Independent Regiment seem to be doing well? It’s really puzzling. How could the Kawaguchi detachment be completely wiped out by such a force with low tactical literacy?
The Japs squadron leader drew out his saber and raised it forward, and a small group of Japs immediately got up, holding Sanba Gaigai, and swooped down the street.
However, at this moment, countless Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street and behind the windows on the first and second floors. The next moment, these Chinese soldiers opened fire violently at the same time. In an instant, The dense rain of bullets had completely covered the more than fifty Japanese who rushed into the street.
"Baga!" The Japanese squadron leader's facial muscles began to twitch violently. It was only then that he realized that he had been tricked by the Chinese. At that time, he raised his knife and shouted loudly, "Withdraw, withdraw, quickly Withdraw..."
However, it was too late to think of retreating at this time. Under the intensive crossfire of the Chinese, the infantry team that went into the attack soon fell into a pool of blood. More than fifty Japanese soldiers, not one of them. One that can be withdrawn in its entirety.
