    Facing the crazy attack of the Japs, the defenders still fought to the death despite huge pressure and heavy casualties!

    "Boom"

    Due to the lack of anti-tank weapons, the soldiers can only use cluster grenades, and the range of cluster grenade throwing is limited. The soldiers can only have people rush to the bottom of the tank holding the grenades.

    If you are lucky, one life will be exchanged for a tank, but there are often many infantrymen next to the Japs' tanks to coordinate the attack. Their role is to deal with these daring defenders who are not afraid of death.

    In the direction of the east gate, the brave resistance of the soldiers caused some trouble to the Japanese army, and even two tanks were blown up, but that was the end of it.

    As the casualties of the defenders surged, the frontline troops suffered heavy losses and their firepower was weakened.

    In addition, machine gun ammunition was getting less and less, and most of the light and heavy machine guns were misfired. However, the Japanese army entered the city on a large scale under the cover of a large number of tanks.

    Despite this, the defenders still did not give up. Under the command of Zhou Yuan, the soldiers of the 1033 regiment concentrated their forces and divided into three groups to block the Japanese troops entering the city. At this time, the defenders no longer had the ability to protect the entire city and could only focus on key locations.  Fighting with the Japanese army.

    The officers of the Gui Army were also tough enough. Although they knew that they might die if they fought, they still took the lead. Especially Commander Zhou, Commander Ling, Deputy Commander Xie, and the commanders of each battalion rushed to the front line, and no one retreated.  They commanded the soldiers to continuously fight against the Japanese army.

    Knowing that they couldn¡¯t do anything, the soldiers of the 1033rd Regiment, regardless of their personal safety, carried their rifles with bayonets, forcing the Japanese troops into blind corners again and again, and eliminated them one by one.

    The tenacity of the defenders also made the little devils feel confused. They had fought against the Chinese army too many times. Except for the Songhu battlefield, in the Japanese army's impression, the Chinese army always ran away after the city was broken, or either  It simply collapsed without waiting for the Japanese attack.

    As for the officers, not to mention, most of them escaped, but only a few died fighting.

    In their imagination, the battle of the troops defending the city has far exceeded their expectations. It can be said that they have tried their best. After the city is broken, it is also their best opportunity to break through. If they miss this opportunity, they will not even be able to break through.

    However, the defenders did not break out as the Japanese army expected, and instead engaged in street fighting with them. Although this decision was very unwise, the defenders' concentrated blockade and counterattack still overwhelmed the attacking Japanese army.

    The battle lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. As many Japanese tanks poured into Mengcheng, the Japanese army divided Mengcheng into several pieces. The two sides fought repeatedly in the small city of Mengcheng. The intensity of the battle was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

    During the battle, Deputy Xie of the 1033 Regiment, Second Battalion Commander Li Guoquan, and Successor Battalion Commander Li Ruchun were martyred one after another. Later, Third Battalion Commander Lan Quan also died, and all other company and platoon commanders were also lost.

    At this time, the entire command system of the defenders has failed. If the attack continues, the entire army will be annihilated. In addition, the defenders have not arrived. According to the telegram from the rear group army headquarters half an hour ago, the two regiments of the 176th Division  On the way to Mengcheng, they were blocked by the Japanese army and were defeated by the Japanese army after three hours of fierce fighting.

    In this way, the only hope for the 1033rd Regiment is the 61st Army in Huainan. However, the 61st Army is probably just on the road at this time. It is impossible to reach Mengcheng in less than ten hours. Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, Commander Ling Yun  , and then decided to break out.

    Ling Shangyun immediately found Zhou Yuan who was observing the terrain. After explaining the situation, he asked the troops to break out.

    Although Zhou Yuan is not willing to evacuate Mengcheng just like this, the main reason is that there are still so many wounded people in Nanmen Street. If they evacuate, those wounded people may become the targets of revenge by the Japs.

    But Zhou Yuan also knew that if he continued to defend, the entire 1033rd Regiment might have to be left here.

    After much hesitation, Zhou Yuan could only nod in the end and agreed to break out!

    Fortunately, the breakout plan has been formulated a long time ago. Just send out the breakout signal, and the troops scattered in the city will gather to the north of the city, and then break out of the city from this direction.

    The only pity is that at this time, the Japanese army carried out a divided attack on the troops of the 1033 regiment. Most of the troops directly under the regiment were trapped in the south of the city and could only rely on themselves to stand out.

    After the breakout signal was sent out, only a breakout team of nearly a hundred people was assembled. The rest of the troops were all held back by the Japanese army and could not rush over in time.

    Despite this, Zhou Yuan still issued the order to break out. He left a dozen soldiers behind and one company commander from the Second Battalion was responsible for blocking and covering the breakout. The remaining soldiers headed towards the north gate.

    Zhou Yuan was unsure about the breakout battle. Many veterans knew that they would rather defend the city ten times."You cannot break through once", which shows that breaking through is not that easy.

    In fact, breaking out of an encirclement is a technical job, and it is also a technical job that takes great risks. This has been fully proved by countless war cases at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.

    Unless they have no choice but to keep the enemy at bay, otherwise the defenders rush out rashly, and the result is that most of them will be annihilated, or even the entire army will be annihilated.

    There is a saying in the military that as long as you have excellent skills and excellent coping skills, you can solve all the difficulties encountered during the breakout process and successfully break through.

    During the breakout process, the enemy will pursue you and intercept you, and will do everything possible to kill you.  It depends on whether your adaptability is up to standard and whether you can turn disaster into good fortune.

    During the breakout process, not only your individual soldier skills are required to pass the test, but also your physical fitness and endurance are required.

    "But the soldiers of the 1033rd Regiment have been fighting the Japanese army for more than two days, and they are all exhausted. Moreover, the number of troops to break through is also very limited, and the possibility of successfully breaking through is less than 30%.

    "Staying back would mean death, but breaking out would mean a narrow escape. For this slim chance of survival, Zhou Yuan and others decided to risk their lives.

    But just as they were preparing to break out, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded outside the city. The sound sounded like the sound of artillery shells exploding. The ground shook. Even though they were far away, Zhou Yuan and others were shocked.  I heard it really clearly.

    Immediately afterwards there was a fierce exchange of fire, and the sound of "dah-dah-dah" resounded throughout Mengcheng!

    Ling Shangyun and others raised their ears and listened carefully. At this time, a company commander suddenly said excitedly: "The division seat and the regiment seat are Czech-style voices. They are reinforcements. Our reinforcements have arrived!"

    Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes filled with excitement!

    Most of the light machine guns used by the little devils are crooked. The Czech type is only equipped by the Chinese army. Moreover, such a dense Czech type must not be fired by one machine gun, but at least a dozen. Such a dense Czech type must be issued by the Chinese army.  Elite.

    Zhou Yuan immediately yelled: "Grandma, you are a bitch, our reinforcements have arrived, follow me and fight back to meet up with the reinforcements!"

    "Yes! Kill back!"

    "kill"

    ?¡­Dividing line¡­Dividing line¡­

    Outside the city, Li Guoyao and others had indeed arrived. After receiving the order from the war zone commander, Li Guoyao ordered the troops to move out immediately, with the cavalry clearing the way in front and the infantry running behind.

    The distance from Chucun Town to Mengcheng is less than 30 kilometers, and the soldiers of the 61st Army arrived in less than three hours!

    After arriving at the outskirts of Mengcheng, Li Guoyao did not immediately order the troops to go into battle. He first sent out a reconnaissance force to carefully investigate the situation on the battlefield, and took this opportunity to give all the officers and soldiers a temporary rest.

    It was learned that the main force of the Japanese army had entered the city, and only the ninth Japanese division headquarters and less than 3,000 troops were left outside the city. There was only one artillery position left.

    Li Guoyao immediately formulated attack tactics. He ordered Duba Brigade Commander Lu Dashan to lead a regiment to raid the artillery position of the Japanese Ninth Division. Deputy Brigadier Lu Zhanwu commanded the remaining two regiments to raid the Japanese Army's 9th Division.  Ninth Division Regiment Headquarters.

    In view of the fact that the Japs still had nearly 3,000 enemy troops outside the city, Li Guoyao handed over all the artillery and air defense regiments to the command of Lu Zhanwu. He did not require Lu Zhanwu's troops to completely annihilate the Japanese troops outside the city, but they must defeat them in a short time.  .

    The remaining troops, under the command of the cavalry commander Chen Jianzhong, immediately launched an assault on the east gate of Mengcheng to respond to the battle in the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
