"Brigade Leader, the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 11th cavalry regiment have sent a farewell message. They have been attacked by the Zhi Na army because their firepower is too strong. Therefore, they had suffered heavy casualties. However, please let it go, even if they die in battle, not a single soldier will surrender to the Zhi Na army…"
The reinforcements that the 4th and 9th battalions encountered were actually the 11th cavalry regiment. The 22nd Brigade was the elite of the Japanese army, and its configuration was better than other exploration teams.
For example, the 10th Brigade of the 11th division. Although they were also an A-type brigade, they did not have the same configuration as the 22nd Brigade. They only had two infantry regiments and nothing else.
However, the 22nd Brigade had its own independent artillery regiment and cavalry regiment. In addition, there was also a supply brigade. The above information is from Baidu.
Heiyan Yisheng's expression was extremely gloomy. He did not expect that he would be unable to stop the Chinese army's attack even after splitting up the last of his combat troops and sending out two-thirds of his forces.
"Brigade Leader, we should shrink our defense line. If we don't shrink our defense line and our forces, I'm afraid that the army will break into our headquarters from the east!”
At this time, Chief of Staff Suzuki Kantaro walked behind Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu and said in a deep voice.
Under the siege of the Chinese army, they could not make ends meet. If they continued to maintain this line of defense, the next thing that awaited them was death.
"Go down and pass down the order!"
Heiyan Yisheng said helplessly. He knew that his chief of staff was right. If they did not shrink their defense line, the Chinese army would really attack their headquarters!
...................
As a result, just as the Japanese troops on the ground were eliminated, another group of about 2,000 Japanese troops rushed to support them. Now, this group of Japanese troops had been eaten by them. However, the fourth battalion commander, Zhao Deli, sent a telegram saying that this Japanese army was not a combat force of the Japanese army. The weapons in their hands were weapons and equipment that only the Japanese cavalry would be equipped with, so this should be a cavalry that had dismounted.
Wang Mingzhi took a few telegrams and walked behind Yan Wenbin.
"Cavalry regiment? An exploration team would be equipped with a cavalry regiment? Are you sure it's not a cavalry unit?"
Yan Wenbin took the telegram and asked curiously. In his memory, exploration teams did not seem to be equipped with cavalry regiments. Even the mixed regiments that could fight alone were only cavalry regiments.
"On this point, Zhao Deli and the others are still able to distinguish between a thousand people and two thousand people.”
Wang Mingzhi shrugged and looked at Yan Wenbin.
Yan Wenbin nodded. He also believed that Zhao Deli would not make such a mistake. After all, this was a two-fold difference. How could he make a mistake?
"Pass down my order. Since the Japanese have shrunk their defensive line, we will attack them. The entire army surrounded the Japanese army. God gave me such an opportunity. If I let it go, I wouldn't be worthy of sitting in this position. Order the entire army to attack and destroy the Japanese army!”
Yan Wenbin knew that since the Japanese army had shrunk their defense line, the resistance in their central area would be even more intense, but so what if it was even more intense? The battle had already reached this stage. Could it be that he, Yan Wenbin, still wanted to retreat?
............................
The Japanese army retreated for better defense, but Yan Wenbin was not afraid. Since the Japanese army retreated, the Sichuan army naturally pursued.
At 4:30 in the morning, the Sichuan army was still fighting with the Japanese army, but the area of the battle had changed. Both sides moved from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
At this time, Yan Wenbin had already arrived in the city. He stood on a roof and squinted at the explosions and gunshots in the distance.
"The Japanese resistance is very firm. Order the troops to increase the intensity of the attack. We must eliminate these Japanese troops as soon as possible.”
Yan Wenbin said in a deep voice. It was already half-past four, and they did not have much time left.
"Good! I'll go pass on the order!"
He Jie, who was now the deputy chief of staff, immediately left.
At this moment, it could be said that the battle between the two sides was very difficult.
The Japanese army used the buildings as cover to resist the attacks of the Sichuan soldiers. At the same time, they also used the terrain to snipe the Sichuan soldiers.
The only thing the Sichuan army could rely on was the automatic firepower advantage of their weapons. The battle between the two sides in the central area could be said to have entered a white-hot state. The Sichuan soldiers knew that they did not have much time left. If they could not eliminate the Japanese army as soon as possible, they would probably face the Japanese army's anti-encirclement.
Time passed like this. It was 7:20 in the morning.
At this time, the Japanese exploration team only had about 500 to 600 soldiers left to guard the last few buildings of the exploration team headquarters.
Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa was sitting on his chair, wiping a shiny samurai sword in his hand.
"Sir Brigade Leader, it's already past seven o'clock. I believe the 10th Brigade will be here soon!”
Suzuki Koutarou knew what Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa wanted to do when he saw his actions. He couldn't help but ask.
"Even if the 10th Brigade arrives now, we can't hold on any longer. Those troops only need to send out 1,000 men to take us down, and the remaining troops can completely withstand the attack of the 10th Brigade. Moreover, the 10th Brigade doesn't have the Mountain Artillery Regiment or the Cavalry Regiment.
It was still a question whether they could defeat this army or not!”
Heiyan Yisheng, who had personally witnessed the firepower of the Sichuan army last night, knew very well that in terms of coordination and combat quality, the Chinese army on the other side could not compare to his own army. However, how could they be able to suppress him? In the end, he still wanted to eat him?
It was because of their powerful firepower that many times, one of their light machine guns could suppress two to three of their own heavy machine guns. The enemy's rifles could even suppress their own light machine guns, and it seemed to be more than enough. Who could withstand such fierce firepower?
