Chapter 67 Nanmen Railway Station was lost!

Nakamura Takao paused with a serious expression and said: "Yes, Captain." He immediately rushed to the side to convey the order, and sent someone to immediately return to the headquarters in the core area of ​​​​the power plant to call Sakata Wing Headquarters and request for transfer.

Troop reinforcements.

"withdraw!!!"

Seeing that the heavy machine gun fortress at the crossroads more than fifty meters in front of the power plant gate had been blown to pieces by the enemy, Yuji Kurihara, who was standing on the wall of the power plant gate to observe the fierce battle, quickly got off the wall with Chief of Staff Takao Nakamura.

, withdrew to the core area of ​​the power plant and continued to hold on.

At this time, Xu Rui had already seen through the telescope the Japanese heavy machine gun fortress at the intersection that was blown into pieces, and immediately ordered the first battalion to continue the attack, "Go!"

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

After receiving the order, Chen Zhenping, commander of the first battalion, immediately commanded the first battalion of the headquarters to slowly attack along the shelters on both sides of the street.

Fighting at night, especially street fighting in the city, is impossible to really fight fiercely.

Who knows if there are Japanese machine guns on the roofs on both sides of the street.

When a barrage of bullets comes down, the troops who rush too fast will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, after the city was broken, Xu Rui commanded the first battalion to attack the east gate city. From now on, the battle was fast but slow, and there was no rush.

It takes one hour to conquer Heyuan County, which is enough time.

As a result, the battle at the power plant in Dongmen City began to turn into a close-range fierce battle inside the power plant.

At this time, amid the roaring sounds of gunfire.

The battles in the direction of the bus station in the south gate of Heyuan County and in the Juxian Tower area of ​​the north gate also started at the same time.

In the battle inside Ximen City, after the Little Japanese took the initiative to abandon the defense of Ximen City Gate and the city head, a company of the newly formed 15th Cavalry Battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army took advantage of the situation and attacked the city from outside Ximen City.

Guarding the area around Ximen City is the Third Battalion of the Imperial Association Army. This is the army, although there is a small group of Japanese soldiers behind them to supervise and fight to the death.

However, after facing a company of Ju Ming's cavalry battalion that broke through the city from the west gate and entered the city, they were beaten and retreated.

At this time, the sound of gunfire from all directions had reached the command room of the Bantian Wing's temporary wing headquarters in the core area of ​​the city.

"Beep, beep, beep!!!"

The phone on a table in the command room of Sakata Wing Headquarters suddenly rang. The Japanese staff officer who had been waiting for a long time immediately picked it up and answered, "Okay, okay, I understand."

Then, the Japanese staff officer who answered the phone immediately reported urgently to Nobuzuki Sakata: "Report to the commander of the regiment, Major Yuji Kurihara who is guarding the East Gate Power Plant, to call urgently to report that the enemy has broken into the city from the East Gate and quickly reached the power plant.

The intersection in front of the factory."

"The heavy machine gun fortress position at the crossroads in front of the power plant gate has been shattered by mortar shells fired by the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army and has been lost."

After a pause, the Japanese staff officer continued to report to Sakata Nobuzuki, "Now, Major Yuji Kurihara has commanded the troops defending the power plant to defend the core area of ​​the power plant."

"Major Yuji Kurihara is requesting support from the regiment headquarters."

Sakata Nobori frowned when he heard this.

"Less than ten minutes after the battle started, the heavy machine gun fortress at the intersection in front of the power plant was lost. How could the combat effectiveness of Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment increase so quickly?"

Sakata Nobori looked at the map on the table, and said with serious eyes amidst the bursts of explosions and gunfire.

The commander of the regiment's staff, Major Dokuno Taro, pointed at the map of Heyuan County and said in a solemn voice: "Captain, the heavy machine gun position at the crossroads in front of the power plant is the only way to prevent the enemy from attacking the power plant."

"Now that this place has been lost, the core area of ​​the power plant was quickly invaded by the enemy. At the power plant, there is only one squadron of troops in Yu Kurihara's hands. This small number of troops may not be able to defend the important location of the power plant. We must

Deploy troops to reinforce the defensive forces in the direction of the power plant."

After hearing this, Sakata Shinzo made quick calculations in his mind.

Now the troops in his hands have been divided into the Juxian Building, the train station, and the power plant area.

At the headquarters, only one squadron of more than 200 troops was left as the final reserve.

Of course, the largest number of troops was at Juxian Tower, with more than 500 troops.

Among them, a squadron of the former Heyuan Military Police, plus more than 300 troops belonging to Kurihara Yuji.

Thinking of this, Sakata Nobori immediately picked up a phone on the table next to him and directly called Lieutenant Colonel Hirata Ichiro, the former captain of the Heyuan Military Police who was guarding Juxian Tower.

"Hiraita-san, how is the current situation in Juxian Tower?"

Facing the other end of the phone, Sakata Nobori asked directly.

There was a rumble of gunfire on the other end of the phone, but it didn't seem very intense.

Sure enough, Hirata Ichiro on the other end of the phone immediately replied: "Report to the commander, Juxian Tower was also attacked by a battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army in a roundabout attack. But we can still hold on."

"well!"

Sakata Nobori said in a solemn tone: "I am going to mobilize more than 300 troops originally belonging to Kurihara Yuji from the Juxian Tower to reinforce the direction of the power plant. You must defend the Juxian Tower for me."

"Do you understand?"

Ichiro Hirata, who was on the other end of the phone, felt helpless when he heard this, but he could only quickly reply: "Please don't worry, captain!".

"well!"

Sakata Nobori nodded, and immediately said to Ichiro Hirata on the other end of the phone: "Hurry up and send the more than 300 troops belonging to the Kurihara Brigade to immediately assemble from Juxian Tower and make a roundabout way to the power plant area for reinforcements."

"Yes, Captain!"

Ichiro Hirata paused heavily on the other end of the phone.

"Um!"

Sakata Nobu hummed, then hung up the phone, and immediately ordered the Japanese staff officer who had just reported the situation of the power plant: "Send the order to Yuu Kurihara, and more than 300 people belonging to his brigade stationed at Juxian Tower have been transferred to

It’s a power plant.”

"Ask Kurihara Yuji to guard the power plant for me. By the way, without my order, you are not allowed to carry out suicidal counterattacks. You must fight the enemy at close range in the streets. Fight fiercely in one place and one house, and hold them back.

enemy."

The Japanese staff officer who reported the situation immediately said solemnly: "Yes, commander." He immediately responded by phone to Major Yuji Kurihara.

At this time, the sound of gunfire was very intensive.

But generally speaking, they are approaching everywhere in Heyuan County.

The two old Japanese soldiers Sakata Nobuori and Dokno Taro knew that this was Xu Rui's troops advancing step by step on the core defensive area of ​​​​the city.

"The offensive of Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment of Jinsui Army is very fierce, Mr. Duye!"

Sakata Nobori didn't expect that after the east gate was breached, Xu Rui's men would reach the intersection in front of the power plant so quickly.

Now, the siege on the core area of ​​the power plant has begun.

"Liant Commander, the combat effectiveness of Xu Rui's unit has indeed increased very quickly."

Taro Duye encouraged him: "As long as we hold Heyuan County for two and a half hours, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and attack from both inside and outside, we will definitely annihilate the main force of Xu Rui's command."

Sakata Nobori nodded, now he can only delay the enemy's capture through street fighting.

However, less than fifteen minutes passed.

"Co-captain, co-captain!"

A sudden emergency call sounded, "Nanmen Railway Station has been lost!"

I saw a Japanese staff officer in the command room of the joint headquarters hurriedly walked from the side to Sakata Nobori and Dokno Taro, and reported heavily.

"Nani?"

When Sakata Nobori heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
