    The atmosphere in Hohhot City began to become tense at this time.  All Japanese troops in the city were assembled.  Even the security teams that usually maintain law and order have been incorporated into the army.

    They will need to be responsible for the security of the city wall, and at the same time check the people in the city to prevent enemy insiders from sneaking into the city.

    On the defensive positions outside Hohhot, Japanese trucks transported batch after batch of ammunition and weapons to the positions.  The more than 2,000 Japanese troops stationed there were also gathered together, and the commanders were there to boost their morale.

    At the same time, the remaining cavalry in the Japanese city were also dispatched to investigate the enemy's movements.

    There are not many Japanese troops left in Hohhot. There are only two brigades and two brigades left behind, followed by the gendarmerie and the security team.

    The total strength of these troops is less than 3,000, and the security teams with low combat effectiveness can even be eliminated directly.  There may only be two Japanese brigades that can actually fight on the battlefield.

    The cavalry troops dispatched by the Japanese army soon discovered more traces of enemy troops.  The more traces of the enemy are discovered, the stronger their sense of crisis becomes.

    Because at the beginning, they only discovered one tank regiment and one motorized infantry regiment of the enemy. Now they discovered two enemy infantry regiments, another tank regiment and a motorized infantry regiment.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are already tens of thousands of people discovered. What about the enemies that haven¡¯t been discovered yet?

    Nagano Hiranobu immediately sent a telegram to Edogawa Junpei and Minamino Tsuyoshi, asking them to quickly return to Hohhot.

    He knew that the enemy's equipment was too sophisticated, and their outer city defenses might not be able to stop the enemy for too long.

    Nagano Heinobu firmly believed that if the two brigades could quickly return reinforcements, they could completely withstand the enemy's attack relying on Hohhot's city defense.

    ¡°At least, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem until the reinforcements sent by Shinozuka Yoshio.

    But what he didn¡¯t know was that when Edogawa Junpei received his telegram, an extremely bitter smile appeared on his face.

    Because at this moment, Edogawa Junpei and his troops, as well as Minamino's brigade, have been intercepted by the enemy's armored forces.

    They were now trapped on a slope and could not move any further.

    Just half an hour ago, he organized his troops to forcibly break through the enemy's defense line.  As a result, they were forcefully driven back by Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

    The enemies on the opposite side even wanted to use tanks and armored vehicles to wipe them out in one fell swoop.  Fortunately, the soldiers under his command still had the will to fight, and after suffering heavy casualties, they finally drove the enemy away.

    It was not only his troops who were besieged here, but Nanye, who was not far away from him, and his brigade were also blocked here.

    At this time, they had only two options. The first was to break out of the encirclement and return directly to Hohhot.  The second way is to run back, but behind them is the enemy's cavalry regiment, which can be regarded as a half-dead road.

    "Order the howitzer regiment to start bombarding the enemy's positions. The motorized infantry regiment is roaming around the periphery. The enemy will definitely move after being bombarded. At that time, you will annihilate the enemy troops on the periphery. I will wear down all these enemies little by little.  Die here."

    Liu Fudong looked at the Japanese position in the distance and said to the soldiers next to him.

    Soon, the artillery shells from the howitzer regiment began to land on the Japanese position.

    Edogawa Junpei was still discussing with his commanders, as if breaking through the enemy's defense line.  As a result, he was interrupted by the sudden landing of a cannonball above his head.

    These Japanese commanders immediately began to hide everywhere.

    They were attacked and intercepted by enemy armored forces halfway. At this time, they didn't even have time to dig foxholes, and there was no place to hide from the shelling.

    So these people can only lie on the ground, or run around, looking for empty areas in the bombing area.

    But after these Japanese soldiers ran out of the area where the shells were bombarded, they discovered that there were enemy tanks and armored vehicles over there, aiming at them with heavy machine guns and artillery.

    The firepower of light and heavy machine guns, combined with the artillery on the tanks, caused these Japanese infantry to be killed and injured in large numbers.

    Edogawa jumped into a bomb crater, and the shells exploding above his head almost tore his eardrums.  The huge impact when the shell exploded made him feel that his internal organs wereIt seems like everything is being pulled.

    Edogawa Junpei has never experienced such a scene.

    At this time, he finally understood how the soldiers charging forward felt when they were bombarded by artillery shells.

    Because of the lack of foxholes to prevent shelling, a large number of Japanese troops were killed and wounded by powerful howitzers.  A grenade with a huge charge can often destroy an area of ????a football field in one shot.

    This time the shelling lasted for half an hour.

    The area occupied by the Japanese army was already riddled with holes, and a large number of craters caused by artillery shells could be seen everywhere.  Seen from above, it looks like the craters on the surface of the moon.

    In these craters, you can even see the corpses of some Japanese soldiers, as well as broken arms and shattered body tissues.

    The smoke of gunfire has not completely dissipated, and the smell of burning corpses and blood are mixed together in the air, making people want to vomit when they smell it.

    Edogawa Junpei was pulled out from the bomb crater, shook the dirt on his head, and it took him a while to see the soldier in front of him clearly.

    During the bombing just now, a shell exploded only a hundred meters away from him. The huge impact and the soil thrown away by the explosion almost buried him alive.

    "Brigade commander, the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles have begun to charge." A Japanese soldier with a face covered in blood said.  On the side of his cheek, there was a terrible scar, which was caused by the flying fragments when the shell exploded.

    The situation of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers beside him was not much better.  Each one's face was covered with blood, and he was turned into a black man by cannon fodder.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
