Fujiki Youmu did not expect that the attacking enemy's ability to fight in the streets at night would be so strong.
In a night battle, his elite soldiers were actually unable to withstand the opponent's fierce offensive.
The other reason was that the high ground around the Wang Family Town basin had been taken down by the night raid, causing the Wang Family Town to be completely under the enemy's machine gun and artillery fire.
Fujiki Yuki saw with his own eyes that a machine gun had just rushed up to the roof of a high-rise building to suppress the 105 high ground.
In less than a minute, they were quickly killed by the enemy's mortars.
Seeing Fujiki Yuki's anxious eyes, Chief of Staff Tanabe Rentaro anxiously stomped his feet and said,""Captain, my lord, quickly give the order to break out! Even if the higher-ups send reinforcements, it's too late. We've already lost our vantage point. We've lost more than half of the imperial army in the two squadrons. We won't be able to hold on for long!”。
"Baka!"
Fujiki Youmu came back to his senses. Hearing the intense gunfire, the Wang Family Town was already in the midst of war. He said unwillingly,"We don't know the enemy's situation. If we break out of the encirclement in a hurry, it's hard to guarantee that the enemy won't ambush us. Besides, there's no way to break out now. Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have left?”。
"This?"
Tanabe Rentarou had also come back to his senses. He hastily supervised the battle and counterattacked. Only then did he come back to his senses and count the remaining troops.
After a quick thought, Tanabe Rentaro said bitterly,""Great Captain, we lost more than half of our troops. We probably only have half of our forces left!”。
"That means there are less than 200 people left?”
Tanabe Rentaro gritted his teeth and nodded helplessly.""Yes, captain."
"Breaking out in the night with such a small number of troops and not knowing the enemy's situation is asking for death. It would be better to gather the troops to defend the courtyard where the brigade headquarters was located. He ordered the two squads to retreat to the brigade headquarters! Defend and wait for reinforcements, signal soldiers!"
Fujiki Youmu thought for a moment. If they were to break out of the Wang Family Town in such a hurry, wouldn't the enemy set up an ambush along the way?
Thinking of this, Fujiki Youmu made a decision that he regretted.
"Captain!"
The Japanese signalman responded.
Fujiki Yuki said to the soldier,"" Has the Exploration Team Department called back?" The first thing Fujiki Yuki heard was the sound of gunfire. He quickly requested reinforcements from the Guards Brigade to inform them of the situation.
However, Fujiki Yuki was heartbroken when he heard the Japanese soldier's words." Reporting to the captain, the Exploration Group Department did not call back! It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the Exploration Team Department was probably changing shifts.”
"Baka!"
Fujiki Yuki thought that this was the time to change shifts. It was possible that the Japanese Brigade in Laiyang County was changing shifts, but the timing was a bit coincidental.
"Continue to send a message to Laiyang. You must contact the Exploration Team Department and request for reinforcements. Right, send a message to the regimental commander and inform him of our situation!”
"Yes, captain." The Japanese soldier stood at attention.”。
Fujiki Yuki heard the sounds of battle approaching and looked at the Chief of Staff Tanabe Rentaro with a serious expression.""Chief of Staff, since things have come to this, we can only defend and wait for reinforcements. Other than the signal soldier, I will gather all the staff officers and handymen in the brigade and hand them over to you. Guard the main gate of the mansion for me. After guarding the gate of the mansion, we can still hold on for at least an hour. The imperial army cannot be defeated."
"Yes, captain!"
Tanabe Rentaro had probably realized that Fujiki Yuki would not order the remaining troops to break out of the encirclement. Moreover, Fujiki Yuki had made a good decision.
If they were to break out of the encirclement in a hurry, it was hard to guarantee that the enemy would not set up an ambush on the path they had to take to break out.
From the firepower of the enemy, it seemed that they were prepared for a night battle at Wang Family Town.
Fujiki Yuki only nodded. Then, Tanabe Rentarou stomped his feet and ran away. He brought the last reserve team made up of the staff officers and handymen of the brigade headquarters to the main gate of the mansion and defended the main gate.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo was already on Hill 105. He commanded a Type 92 Infantry Cannon and five 80mm mortars to knock down the firing points of the Japanese in Wangjia Town one by one.
By 9:05 PM, all the visible firing points of the devils in Wangjia Town had been knocked out.
Zhu Ziming, Zhao Shoutian, and the others who had led the independent battalions to attack Wang Family Town had already attacked Huihe from the east and west of Wang Family Town.
After that, the four companies of the independent battalion met up and surrounded the large courtyard where the Japanese troops were.
It was only now that Fujiki Youmu, who had climbed to the highest roof to observe the situation of the incoming enemy, realized that the enemy that had attacked Wang Town was actually a group of bandits.
"Damn it, it's actually the bandits from Clear Wind Camp!”
Unexpectedly, Fujiki Youmu quickly saw the face of the independent battalion's second company commander, Zhao Shoutian, through the binoculars.
Tengmu Youmu had seen a portrait of the Vine Wood Brigade, who had participated in the operation against the Clear Wind Camp, and had been annoyed by the bandits of the Clear Wind Camp.
Seeing Shoutian Zhao at this time, the old devil knew that the enemy who attacked Wang Town at night was actually the bandits of Clear Wind Camp.
"Preemptive strike! It seems that our opponents, the Clear Wind Camp bandits, already know about our actions.”
Fujiki Youmu's mouth twitched. He quickly realized that the Clear Wind Camp bandits had found out about their gathering in the Wang Family Town.
The other party had taken the initiative and attacked Wang Family Town in the middle of the night!
However, it was already too late for them to contact the Guards Regiment and the 201st Regiment to send reinforcements.
"Captain, the Chief of Staff sent someone to report that we have been surrounded. In addition, we counted the remaining Imperial Army soldiers, including the handymen, and there are less than a hundred people left.”
At this moment, a Japanese soldier crouched down and reported to Fujiki Youmu.
Fujiki Youmu waved his hand, not caring anymore. He only said,"Tell the Chief of Staff that it's time for him to sacrifice himself and die for His Majesty. Call the signalman over!"
"Yes, Great Captain."
In less than ten seconds, the only signalman immediately ran up to the roof, squatted down, and said to Fujiki Youki,""Captain!"
"Have you contacted Laiyang?"
" No," the soldier shook his head." But we've already sent out five radio calls. There's no response from Laiyang County."”。
"Continue to contact them. The enemy that attacked Wang Family Town at night is Clear Wind Camp's bandits. The firepower was strong, and it was possible that there were elite special forces that had captured the five high points of the mountains around the Wangjia Town basin. There was a Type 92 Infantry Cannon and five 80mm Cannons. They suspected that the bandits of Clear Wind Camp were the unknown enemy who ambushed Hao Squadron and Takeda Squadron on the mountain.”
At this moment, Fujiki Youmu had realized that the enemies who ambushed the devils twice in Front-Line-Sky were the bandits of Clear Wind Camp.
As for the bandits of Clear Wind Camp, when he led a portion of his troops to attack Clear Wind Camp, Clear Wind Camp did not have the Type 92 Infantry Cannons and so many mortars produced by the empire.
There was only one reason why they had suddenly appeared in the battlefield of the Wang Family Town, and that was the weapons and equipment of the two squadrons they had lost in the ambush.
"Yes, captain!"
The Japanese soldier immediately received the order.
On the other hand, Fujiki Youmu felt sad. The command center was surrounded, and the five high points around the basin had been taken by the Clear Wind Camp bandits.
In this battle, it was already impossible for his troops to break out of the encirclement, or to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
"Perhaps, this is my fate!”
Fujiki Youmu felt bitter in his heart. As a Japanese officer, he understood that even if he fell into the hands of the bandits of Clear Wind Stronghold, he would not be able to get away with it.
If Zhou Weiguo was in front of Fujiki Youmu, he would have been shot dead.
How could such a stubborn Japanese officer be captured after being shot?
At this moment, Zhu Ziming and the others commanded the companies to start attacking the mansion where the Tengmu unit was located.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
" Thud!"
After surrounding the Japanese command center, Zhu Ziming and the others gathered their machine guns and mortars and immediately launched a group fire attack to cover the infantry attack.
