In Nanjing, the big bosses of the Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters were naturally furious after receiving the telegram from Chuxian County. In just one day, the Chuxian frontline underwent tremendous changes. Telegrams for help came one after another. .
????????????????? But anger is anger, and rescue must be carried out. First of all, a main force regiment was surrounded, and just watching them being eaten by the Chinese army was obviously not in line with the style of the Imperial Japanese Army.
In fact, according to the provisions of the Imperial Army's tactical drills, once friendly forces are surrounded, they must be rescued if possible.
Therefore, whether it is public or private, the Central China Front Army Headquarters cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Immediately, under the order of General Yan Jun, the Japanese Central China Front Army Aviation Corps once again sent fighter planes to Hechi Town to reinforce the 104th Regiment.
At the same time, a reinforcement force consisting of 3,000 people also set out from Daliu Town and headed north to reinforce the 104th Regiment.
Hechi Town. 104th Regiment Headquarters.
Colonel Akiyama Torajiro's mood sank to the bottom at this time. Now their regiment was tightly surrounded by Chinese troops. In front were the two main brigades of the 7th Division, and behind was the 135th Division of the 31st Army.
And after these few days of fighting, their alliance has suffered a lot of losses in strength. Now there are still 2,600 soldiers to fight. The strength gap between the two sides is not small.
Judging from the enemy's posture, it is obvious that they are here to annihilate their unit. This is not good news for Akiyama Torajiro.
In order to avoid being annihilated, after realizing that the situation was not good, Colonel Akiyama immediately sent a telegram requesting assistance to the division headquarters in Chu County, but he has not received a reply until now.
"Sir Akiyama, urgent call from the division headquarters!"
Akiyama Torajiro stood up immediately and said immediately: "How about it? Tell me quickly?"
The chief of staff immediately said: "The division headquarters wants us to stabilize our position. Reinforcements have already set off from Daliu Town. The division headquarters originally planned to reinforce the Bengbu front line. The infantry of the two reinforced brigades plus some technical arms has a total strength of 3,000 people. The above is expected to arrive at Hechi Town in an hour."
"well!"
At this time, the Chief of Staff continued: "In addition, the Front Army Headquarters has ordered the Aviation Corps to send the main force to Hechi Town. As long as all the reinforcements arrive, our unit will be able to break through. Therefore, the Division Headquarters ordered us to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Position, make sure not to be wiped out by the enemy!"
"Hey, as long as there are reinforcements, it's easy!" Akiyama Torajiro nodded and said.
Although most of their 104th Regiment are new recruits, judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the previous units, they are pretty good. Although there are many Chinese troops outside the town, there shouldn't be much problem in holding on for an hour or two.
However, not long after the battle started, an emergency situation came from the defense line on the side of the 7th Division. The Chinese army in front of them had very fierce firepower. Not only did they have a large number of artillery to cooperate with them, but there was even a unit equipped with new weapons. The fortifications built in a hurry by the imperial army were simply papery in the face of this kind of weapon, and basically did not have much protective power.
In less than twenty minutes of fighting, the frontline troops suffered heavy casualties. The Chinese army was rushing towards the town. If this continued, it would take at most half an hour for the Chinese army to break into Hechi Town.
And judging from the current situation, once the Chinese army breaks into Hechi Town, the two sides will fall into street fighting.
Street fighting is not easy to fight. With the same weapons and equipment, the number of soldiers becomes the key to victory.
At this time, Colonel Akiyama and others had figured out the situation of the Chinese army outside the town. The two brigades of the 7th Division on the southern front had more than 8,000 people in total, and the 135th Division on the northern front also had more than 3,000 people in total. There are eleven thousand people in total.
And they only have 2,500 or 600 people, which is only equivalent to a quarter of the opponent's number. The final outcome of the street fighting is likely to be that the Chinese army will suffer heavy casualties in exchange for the annihilation of their 104th Regiment.
It¡¯s not cost-effective. Such a result is obviously unacceptable to Akiyama Torajiro.
At this moment, an officer with a pockmarked face suddenly said: "Sir, I have a way to prevent the Chinese army from entering the town!"
Colonel Akiyama was stunned at first, and then said immediately: "Maruyama-kun, if you have any idea, tell me quickly!"
Taro Maruyama hurriedly said: "Sir, the people of the branch value their local ties the most. They attach great importance to the lives and deaths of the fishermen. The imperial army can capture all the people of the branch in this town and send them to the front line. It will definitely prevent that person from attacking!"
After hearing Maruyama Taro¡¯s suggestion,Everyone's eyes lit up, including Akiyama Torajiro.
"Yo Xi, this is a good idea. Anyway, you all should know the current situation of the imperial army. If it cannot be delayed until reinforcements arrive, more than 80% of them may be annihilated. If you want to die, you must take these troops with you. The common people will support you. !" Akiyama Torajiro said.
"Hai!" Everyone nodded and agreed with the captain.
At this time, Akiyama Torajiro immediately said: "Order: The Third Squadron immediately reinforces the southern front, the Fifth Squadron immediately searches for the Chinese people in the camp, and gathers all the captured Chinese people to the southern front position."
"Hai!"
Following the order of Akiyama Torajiro, hundreds of Japanese soldiers began to search for Chinese people in the town. What did they use? With their heads and pickaxes, they smashed open the gates of the courtyards and homes of the common people, and then used bayonets to drive all the common people hiding in the houses into the streets.
A slight lack of cooperation will result in a bayonet blow. During this period, there will be robbery and killing. If there is not enough time, these guys will not mind doing more.
In just a few minutes, the people in the town were decimated, and hundreds of people were massacred for one reason or another.
In a short period of time, except for those ordinary people who were hiding relatively quietly, the rest were all captured by the Japs from their homes and taken to the streets, and then forced by the bayonets of these Japs soldiers to go to the front line battlefield.
At this time, the fighting was in full swing on the position south of Hechi Town. Although the Japs were very tenacious and had good weapons and equipment, they were still a bit underwhelming in front of the two main brigades of the Seventh Division.
The main reason is that the artillery and air defense troops of the 7th Division are very powerful, far beyond what the little devils in the town can compete with. In more than half an hour after the battle started, the Japanese troops on the front line lost hundreds of people, even the front line commanding officers. The Japanese commanders were all changed.
However, just as the soldiers of the Seventh Division rushed into Hechi Town and wiped out all the little Japs huddled in the town, some sharp-eyed soldiers saw the changes in the Japanese positions and reported them to the headquarters.
In the former enemy headquarters, after receiving the report from the forward position, Xie Baojun and Wen Debiao were shocked and immediately used binoculars to check the situation.
From the observation port of the command post and through the telescope, Xie Baojun and others saw that there were Chinese people standing in front of the Japanese position.
?? These common people were both male and female, old and young, and each of them had a look of fear. Behind these common people, standing were Japanese soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition, with bloody bayonets pressed against the backs of these common people.
Seeing this situation, Xie Baojun and others were filled with anger. Seeing that these little devils were unable to resist the army's attack on the city, they actually came up with such a dirty tactic. It was really inhumane. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
