Chapter 274 Attacking Jinzhou (2)(1/6)
The Tekoshiyu Men's Infantry Regiment, which can reassure Kurokawa Kaede Division Commander, has a total of 5,000 Japs. Adding in the Utada Saburo Battalion that was originally defending in the south of the city, there are more than 6,000 Japs here.
With so many devils, of course they can be reassured.
Battalion Commander Qi Gaoming not only saw the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements, but also immediately realized:
The most obvious experience is that the team has been bombarded more intensively.
However, he did not change his tactics. They were still the same as before: machine guns on the front line and bombardment with artillery shells!
The possibility of rushing over the city wall is already very small.
Both sides don't have many weapons and equipment, and they don't have an absolute advantage. The defenders are much more advantageous.
The Japs from Cangmu Tsubasa's squadron hid behind sandbags and kept shooting.
Although they had to withstand the bombing of mortars, they still withstood the attack of the national army, which is a good thing.
Brigadier Miao Junchu became anxious: his brigade now not only has to maintain the security of the train station, but also is responsible for controlling the factories in this area in the west of the city.
Order at the train station is easy now, after all, trains can only pass from the east and west directions.
The road to the east has been blocked thanks to the train brought by Brigadier Feijie. It's safe!
To the west is Jinxi, which has also been occupied by our own people, so it is still safe!
So he left only a platoon of soldiers guarding the train station.
But these factories in the west of the city are different. In each factory, there are hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of people.
With so many companies sending soldiers to guard them, the number of troops was suddenly stretched thin.
At the same time, he also wanted to send troops to attack the south of the city. Now the battalion commander Qi Gaoming's attack was frustrated.
Brigadier Miao suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Order Commander Gong Lianghan to press the entire regiment up, and also send the entire regiment up at the same time.
Sixty tanks from two regiments rumbled out of the station.
When the captain of the Men's League of Hand Yueyou led his team into the south of the city, it heard the sound of gunfire.
When it stood on the city wall and looked down from a high position, it realized that the sound of gunfire just now was actually an attack by the national army on the cavalry regiment.
Now that the cavalry regiment has been completely destroyed, Captain Utada Saburo said: It was the cavalry regiment that made them possible.
If it were not for the cavalry regiment to drive the Chinese army's attack, the wall in the south of the city would have been breached by the Chinese army.
Having realized this, the captain of the Hand Yueyou Men's Alliance no longer dwells on this loss: it was not one of his men who died anyway.
It now needs to find a solution for its own team.
The commander of the Kurokawa Kaede Division sent so many Japs here. The first goal was to defend the south of the city, and the second goal was to have his regiment attack the west of the city.
If possible, bring Jinzhou Railway Station under control.
Koizumi and the infantry regiment were also driving towards the west of the city at this time. For the Japs, the Chengxi Railway Station was the most important strategic location.
Not only is the train transportation here convenient, but more importantly, the train station has a lot of weapons, ammunition and food supplies.
In order to supply the fifteen infantry divisions fighting in Suizhong, the Japanese collected materials from all over the Northeast and concentrated them in three places: Jinzhou Station, Jinxi Station, and Xingcheng Station.
In fact, only a small amount of supplies were sent to Suizhong, and a large amount of supplies were still at the rear.
Captain Tegotsu Yuta ordered: "Kawashima-kun! You must immediately lead an attack from the west of the inner city.
Abe-kun! Your brigade will assist!"
"Hai!" the two captains agreed in unison.
Captain Hikaru Kawashima and Captain Abe Ryunosuke immediately led the team into action.
Captain Tegotsu Yuta ordered to Captain Utada Saburo: "Immediately attack from the city wall to the west of the city."
"Hai!" Captain Utada Saburo agreed quickly.
Squadron Leader Kuraki Tsubasa received the order and executed it immediately.
Captain Amuro Naibei led a group of Japanese soldiers to climb over the sandbags they had built.
Carefully rush towards the west of the city.
Company Commander Jian Lexian was at the forefront of the attack. The attack had just suffered a setback, and the entire company had to shift from offense to defense.
They are the offensive side, and there are no defensive fortifications at the moment. They just brought some sandbags from the positions prepared by the Japs in the west of the city.
The same sandbags, the same fortifications, but the national army and the Japanese are different.
The Japanese machine guns were mounted on top of the sandbags to fire, while the national army's machine guns were stretched out from the gaps in the sandbags to fire.
Such fortifications on both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.
When the Japanese set up fortifications and set up machine guns like this to fire, the machine guns have a high degree of freedom and the Japanese have excellent sight lines and can clearly see the situation in front.
The fortifications on Captain Jian's side are not good. The machine guns can only fire in a limited area, and the line of sight is only a small area.
The advantage is that if they hide behind sandbags and fire like this, they won't be hit by the enemy's bullets at all.
Lan Hanman saw a group of Japanese soldiers coming out of the fortifications and launched a charge.
Machine guns immediately started firing at the group of Japanese soldiers.
The machine gunners of the Kuraki Tsubasa Squadron have always been very troubled by the national defense line 200 meters away: the machine guns seem to have little effect on them.
Only grenades can do some damage to them.
Now there is a small group of Japs charging, and their machine guns are responsible for suppressing the opponent's firepower.
Now it seems that this task was not completed well!
Sergeant Mei Carpenter rushed at the front. His movements were agile. He just rushed out a dozen steps and immediately fell to the ground.
Sure enough, he was a battle-hardened old Japanese soldier. When he fell down, the machine gun bullets from the national army arrived.
Mikado perfectly dodged this wave of bullets, but Yu Ono, who was following it, was not so lucky.
It suddenly fell down when it saw Mei Carpenter, but it didn't realize why.
Two blood flowers spattered out of the chest, and this time it got them even if it didn't want to.
Captain Amuro Nabei was lying on the ground, anxiously ordering: "Go forward! Keep going!"
They can only crawl forward now.
At this time, Sergeant Mei Carpenter had crawled out five or six meters away, putting some distance between himself and the entire team.
This made Amuro Nahei very happy: there are such soldiers in a team, so that the team leader can have a lot less to worry about.
With one Japs setting an example in front, all the Japs in the entire team can follow suit.
Captain Miura Takuto was very dissatisfied that a sergeant had stolen the limelight.
It whispered: "No matter how fast you climb, you are still just a sergeant, and there is no way you can become a squad leader."
Mei Carpenter's combat ability is outstanding among the entire team, but there is no possibility of him becoming an official.
Neither Captain Amuro Nahei nor Captain Tsubasa Kuraki had any intention of promoting him.
If such excellent soldiers are promoted away, there will be no useful soldiers in their ranks.
The Japanese no longer held their guns and charged with their waists hunched stupidly, which made it more difficult for Jian Lexian's company to block the attack.
Zuo Wenbin aimed at a Japanese soldier and fired: "Bang!"
The Japs one hundred and fifty meters away were not hit at all and were not even frightened.
Sergeant Mei Carpenter crawled in front, occasionally dragging down a sandbag piled on the edge of the city wall to block it on the ground.
This can stop a lot of bullets.
Company Commander Jian Lexian saw that it was only a matter of time before the Japs from this team broke into his defense line.
The entire company's grenades were also used up when attacking the city wall, and they should prepare for hand-to-hand combat next.
A correspondent was sent to report the situation on the front line to the battalion commander.
Let the whole company prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
Squadron leader Kuraki Tsubasa also saw that the Amuro Nabei team attacking in front was charging smoothly and had already sent out the second team.
Captain Saburo Utada was even more direct and sent an infantryman with a bayonet ready to crawl behind the sandbags.
Wait until the team in front is bayoneting with the national army, then charge forward.
It now has an absolute numerical advantage here: if it can fight hand-to-hand, it can definitely drive out the national army.
The captain of the Hand Yueyou men's team also has this idea.
When Amuro Nabei's team rushed into the national defense line, there were still more than forty Japanese.
When Sergeant Mei Carpenter rushed in with a bayonet in hand, Cong Yangbing had already come forward.
Fighting with a bayonet: Cong Yangbing is never afraid!
They are training in assassination techniques every day.
