At the same time Chu Yunfei started the siege, Han Ligong led his troops to the Chaoyang area.
Before the Independent Brigade arrived, Han Ligong first sent scouts to investigate the situation and specific location of the Japanese army.
The efficiency of the reconnaissance troops was very high, and the Japanese army was also relatively high-profile in the local area.
Therefore, the moment the independent brigade arrived, the scouting team sent accurate news.
"The Japanese army has no garrison in any county. The only force they have is about the strength of a regiment, no more than 7,000 people.”
After receiving the accurate news, Han Li Gong quickly led his troops to Chaoyang City.
When they were still five kilometers away from Chaoyang City, Han Ligong gathered all four of his regiment commanders.
"Once the enemy discovers our arrival, they will definitely defend the city and fight us to the death.”
"We must take this place as soon as possible. We can't lose face for the Northeast Army," Han Ligong said in a deep voice.”
"Therefore, I have decided to adopt a new tactic. Wolf pack attack!"
One of the regiment commanders widened his eyes in shock."Wolf pack attack? What kind of tactic was this? I've never heard of it before!"
"The general told us that our Northeast Army should be as fierce as wild wolves when we fight," Han Ligong said with a smile. There are so many of us, we are a pack of wolves.”
"How do wolves attack their prey? They would split up and surround all the enemy's escape routes. The wolves on the left chased their prey to the right, while the wolves on the right chased their prey to the back!”
"When the prey is completely exhausted, that will be the time when the wolves will swarm up and bite him to death.”
The four regiment commanders nodded meaningfully."You mean we should attack separately? However, if they did not attack at the same time, would the Japanese army be exhausted and unable to take care of the front and back?”
"Yes!" " This is the first time our independent brigade is fighting alone," Han Ligong said with a look of approval." The general is watching, and so are the 1st and 2nd divisions. We must win this battle beautifully and let everyone see that our independent brigade is also a trump card.，”
The four regiment commanders were full of energy, and Han Ligong immediately assigned them tasks.
Half an hour later, the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade appeared in front of Chaoyang City.
The Japanese army suddenly discovered that the enemy was attacking and retreated back to the city at once.
The first regiment did not wait for the devils to enter the defensive position and immediately launched an attack on the front of Chaoyang City.
Han Ligong also sent the artillery regiment to support the first regiment. Their firepower was very fierce. The artillery shells and general purpose machine guns suppressed the Japanese soldiers on the city wall until they could not raise their heads. For a time, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
The Japanese commander, Kubo Ichiro, ran up the city wall in a panic from the command post. As soon as he came up, he was almost hit by a mortar shell.
He checked the situation of the attacking troops from behind the battlements and immediately shouted,"Quick, mobilize the troops and defend this place. Also, inform the headquarters of the Kwantung Army that the Northeast Army has returned. We need backup!”
A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed over from all over the city.
However, at this moment, the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade suddenly launched an attack from the south of the city.
The mortar shells bombarded the originally dilapidated city wall, and soon, several holes were blasted on the city wall.
Kubo Ichiro was commanding the battle in the east of the city when he suddenly heard that the south of the city was under fierce attack. He was so anxious that he immediately sent troops over to provide support.
"We must defend the south of the city. We must not let a Chinese person in at all costs.”Kubo Ichiro shouted at a major.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A row of artillery shells exploded, and the Japanese positions in the east of the city were bombarded.
"Damned Chinese people, why is their artillery fire so fierce? At least an artillery division had come!”
Just as Kubo Ichiro was complaining, one of his subordinates suddenly reported,""Sir, the west side of the city was suddenly attacked by the Northeast Army. Our men are all dead, and they are about to charge in.”
"Nani?" Kubo Ichiro was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood." Quick! Send a large team over! We have to guard the west side! Hurry up!"
"Sir, a large number of Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared in the north of the city. They've already blown up the city gates, the defenders are all shattered, and Senior Captain Nakamura died on the battlefield."
"Sir, the defense line in the south of the city is about to collapse. The Chinese people are attacking too fiercely.
The reports came one after another. Kubo Ichiro's mind was in a daze. He could no longer figure out where his opponent was going to attack from and where he should deploy his troops to defend.
"Boom!"
A cannonball blasted open the city gate, and a large number of soldiers from the Northeast Army rushed in like a tidal wave.
Kubo Ichiro shouted to his subordinates in despair,"There's no need to report to me. Inform all the defenders to fight to the last person and fight to the death with the Chinese people!”
Although his order was very impassioned, it was no longer possible for the Japanese to defend just because they wanted to.
Kubo Ichiro had completely fallen into Han Li's trap by dispersing his forces to defend.
Under the assault of the Independent Brigade, Chaoyang City was completely breached.
The Japanese army was lacking in firepower and had fewer soldiers than the independent brigade, so they were completely surrounded by Han Li.
"Eight grid tooth path!" Kubo Ichiro waved his commanding sword and shouted at the last Japanese soldiers,""The imperial army of the Rising Sun Empire will fight to the death and never surrender!”
However, just as he finished shouting, the sound of machine guns rang out all around. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed on the street.
Han Ligong looked coldly at the corpse of the Japanese and shouted at his subordinates,""Clean up the battlefield and search the entire city. Kill all Japanese soldiers without mercy!"
