Because their reinforcements were basically blocked in their respective camps. Even if there were some who rushed out, because the number was too small, they became the dead souls under the sabers of the cavalry roaming the streets.
The final result was that one city gate after another was captured by the soldiers of the security regiment.
All the surrounding city walls and gates were occupied, and the remaining Japanese troops in the city became completely trapped.
Hu San was stationed at the south gate, directing the troops' operations.
After learning that the city gates had been attacked one by one, he immediately ordered his troops to leave a battalion of troops to garrison at each city gate. All other troops entered the city to cooperate with the troops attacking the Japanese camp. , to destroy those Japanese troops.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the city had fallen into a state of fighting on their own, divided and surrounded.
And once they are divided and surrounded, their power will be greatly weakened.
Although these Japanese troops were very tenacious in their fighting will, they did not choose to surrender because they were in desperate situation. However, they had no way to solve the current predicament. They could only huddle in the camp and pray that the bullets fired by the enemy's heavy machine guns outside would not hit their heads.
The attack on Lingqiu County was quickly transmitted via telegraph to Itagaki Seishiro, who was fighting at the front.
Itagaki Seishiro, who had been commanding a day of battle during the day and wanted to have a good rest at night, jumped out of bed after learning the news. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes and ran directly to the headquarters.
At this time, inside the headquarters, each regiment commander and brigade commander were already standing in front of the map.
Itagaki Seishiro glanced at everyone, and then said while putting on his coat: "How is the specific situation?"
Chief of Staff Nishimura Toshion immediately handed over the telegram and said to Itagaki Seishiro: "According to reports from the troops stationed in Lingqiu County, the number of enemy troops attacking Lingqiu County is at least about 5,000.
Their various camps, city gates, and headquarters were all under siege by the enemy. There are also enemy cavalry units responsible for clearing and patrolling the streets. "
"Five thousand people? Damn it!! What's the situation now?" Itagaki Seishiro had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Nishimura Riwenhui reported: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the latest information was delivered three minutes ago, saying that each city gate has been breached by the enemy, and now only a few squadrons are still huddled in the camp. Withstand the enemy's attack."
"Where is Yoshiyama Hide? Where is Captain Yoshiyama Hide's headquarters?" Itagaki Seishiro asked.
Nishimura Rion said: "He has not been contacted since the beginning of the battle. I am afraid that the headquarters was attacked by the enemy and has been unable to contact us."
"Capturing thieves and capturing kings seems to be the method that Xia Yang likes to use. We were all deceived, thinking that he would fight us with real swords and guns in Yima Ridge, but in the end he chose this sneak attack. Trick." Itagaki Seishiro said.
Nishimura Riwen said: "I will lead a brigade to recapture Lingqiu County."
However, Itagaki Seishiro waved his hands and said: "It's impossible. The number of enemy troops is at least five thousand, and there may be more. According to the combat capabilities of Xia Yang's troops, we may have to attack with only one division. It will take a few days to capture Lingqiu County."
Saying this, he pointed at Yima Ridge opposite, which was shrouded in darkness, and said: "But the enemy's troops entrenched in Yima Ridge are still staring at us. As long as we move here, I guarantee that this guy Xia Yang will The main force will definitely come up from behind us and then surround us outside Lingqiu County."
Nishimura Riwen said: "Then what should we do? If we just stay here, the enemy will occupy Lingqiu County and our logistics supplies will be cut off. We may not be able to sustain it for too long."
Itagaki Seishiro said: "Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka and ask him to dispatch troops to attack Lingqiu County. As long as the enemy's troops in Lingqiu County are contained, the enemy will not dare to easily encircle us."
After hearing these words, Nishimura Rion immediately began to ask the communications troops to send telegrams to Shinozuka Yoshio who was far away in Datong.
Shinozuka Yoshio was sleeping. After hearing the news that Lingqiu County had been captured, he jumped out of bed just like Itagaki Seishiro. Without even putting on his clothes, he walked to the headquarters.
Some Japanese military staff officers were also here.At this time, they were all summoned.
At this time, many Japanese staff officers ran to the headquarters without even wearing coats, wearing white short-sleeved shirts.
The fall of Lingqiu County caused the Japanese army to become chaotic throughout the northern Shanxi region.
Hondagawa walked next to Yoshio Shinozuka and explained the specific situation.
Shinozuka Yoshio was still rubbing his eyes. Hearing these words, his movements froze. Then he slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Two thousand people!! That's two thousand pigs. The enemies are at the gates everywhere." It will take several hours to catch them. They actually lost all four city gates in half an hour!!"
Hondagawa said helplessly: "As you know, the combat effectiveness of the enemy's troops is not only advanced equipment, but also high-quality soldiers. As long as we reveal a little flaw, they will be able to grasp it."
Yoshio Shinozuka immediately said: "Order the 114th Division to go south immediately, using Hunyuan County as the base to launch an attack on Lingqiu County. If Lingqiu County cannot be recaptured from the enemy's hands, then the Fifth Division and the two brigades dispatched from the Chahar area, I'm afraid they will all become the enemy's prey."
"If the 114th Division is also mobilized, then there will only be a few regiments of garrison troops left in Datong.
If the Eighth Division fails in defense, then Datong will be in danger! "Hondagawa reminded Yoshio Shinozuka. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
