Chapter 0648 The Japanese army's attack was frustrated!

Just when the comrades buried in the Dragon Boat Festival, the battle situation between Baijia Town and Changzhou was also very tragic.

The Japanese were determined to take the defense line between Baijia Town and Changzhou in one fell swoop. They attacked for a day and stopped the attack until around nine o'clock in the night.

Aoki gave up. He originally thought that he could win without using the empire's yellow bullet. But he did not expect that he had miscalculated the Chinese's resistance and determination to defend the country.

Although he almost blew Changzhou City into a ruin with his superior artillery fire and air support, the east gate of Changshu City was still in the hands of the Chinese until around nine o'clock in the night.

Aoki retreated to rest and waited for the next day's yellow bullet to bring victory to the empire.

But he didn't know that the Japanese's yellow bullets had been blown up. If they wanted to take Changzhou City, they still needed to fill them out.

But in comparison, the defenders in Changzhou City suffered greater casualties. Although Commander Huo of the 112th Division made sufficient preparations, he suffered losses when fighting with the Japanese Air Force, resulting in insufficient firepower in Changshu City.

Aoki's subordinates also controlled two artillery brigades, various types of howitzers, cannons, and mortars, and took turns to greet Changzhou City.

The east wall of Changzhou City is nearly ten meters thick, but it was blown down.

Although the soldiers used sandbags to block the collapsed city walls, they did not have much effect. The Japanese 100mm caliber cannon can directly bombard more than a dozen sandbags into the sky with one shot.

As for casualties, even a fool can imagine that once the shells fall, many iron-strong Chinese soldiers will be blown away.

After a day of battle, the Changzhou garrison lost one-third of the troops. He Zhizhong, the commander of the 103rd Division, was almost crying. His little wealth was still waiting to join the direct troops of the Central Army. But now, I'm afraid that all his 103rd Division would be reimbursed after the battle in Changzhou.

Therefore, He Zhizhong proposed to Commander Huo several times to give up Changzhou and continue to evacuate to Nanjing.

Commander Huo actually had this kind of consideration. He could only wipe out the entire army when defending Changzhou. It would be better to retreat to Nanjing and fight against the Japanese invaders.

However, the headquarters did not intend to order a retreat, and sent three telegrams to them to withstand.

Can this hold on?

The Japanese had planes in the air, cannons on the ground, and armored vehicles. What could they hold back?

If the Battle of Songhu was not defeated and there were 700,000 troops defending Nanjing, the Japanese might not be able to chew this hard bone even if they broke their teeth.

But it is too late to say anything now, and 300,000 Chinese soldiers have become cannon fodder for the Japanese, which ultimately leads to the loss of military strength.

Commander Huo felt that this battle was a coward, but he had to carry out the command of the headquarters.

But can Donald Duck command? He can do a hammer and practice Tai Chi in the villa every day, giving people a calm and confident look.

If the Japanese were Sima Yi, they might have been scared away by Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, but unfortunately, he was not Zhuge Liang nor did he have the ability of Zhuge Liang.

So the Japanese did not take him seriously at all. The attack continued, and the soldiers in front were just fighting according to the Japanese command.

This sounds like a joke, but it is true. When Commander Huo sent three telegrams that the secret code was leaked, Donald Duck was still using the original secret code, which was equivalent to every order he issued. The Japanese knew it clearly that there was no difference between the Japanese army commanding and fighting.

So if you want to turn the situation around, you can only win in chaos. The Dragon Boat Festival is the key bargaining chip to disrupt the entire situation.

It’s just a pity that the whereabouts of Dragon Boat Festival were exposed, otherwise the Japanese would have suffered a lot this time.

But even so, Dragon Boat Festival also created a brilliant record of Womachuan's total annihilation of the 21st Brigade Command, Wuming Village destroyed the Japanese battlefield hospital, and Huishan Town exploded the Japanese chemical arsenal. His independent regiment cooperated with Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment and almost wiped out the 23rd Japanese Regiment.

So if Matsui Ishione had not been to the front line of the Dragon Boat Festival and transferred the Hatan Detachment to Changzhou for support, the Japanese Fifth Division at this time would have suffered the most painful defeat in history.

But even so, it blocked the Japanese frontal forces, especially the Hatan Detachment.

Captain Hatan was very careful in every battle, but there were still many casualties and no progress.

Zhou Weiguo did not confront the Hatan Detachment head-on after the Japanese plane evacuated, because after losing the advantage of artillery fire, he fought with the Japanese with hard steel in just a few hours with Zhou Weiguo and the Independent Regiment.

He put the Japanese into the city and then fought. During melee battles, the Japanese artillery advantage will be greatly weakened, but the 522nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment can maximize the advantages of automatic weapons.

Although the Hatan devils were cautious, they still made self-righteous mistakes.

He believed that after he used troops cautiously several times, the Baijia Town defenders consumed almost the same amount of ammunition and heavy weapons. In this case, it was difficult to organize effective resistance.

So he sent a large group of Japanese soldiers to attack Baijia Town under the cover of artillery fire. And as he expected, the Chinese artillery fire was very sparse, and after being bombed for a while, he directly defeated him.

His first brigade rushed into Baijia Town at a very small price.

The old Japanese devil looked happy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

The Japanese who rushed into the city also sent a message saying that the Chinese soldiers had retreated on their entire front. They were fleeing towards the west gate.

Hatan became more and more proud, and even sneered at Fujimura, the captain of the 23rd Regiment of the Japanese Fifth Division, who was standing beside him.

Because the Fifth Division is an elite, Baijia Town, which cannot be won by the elite, has become his possession.

The Fujimura devils also sneered, and his laughter was refuting that it was our 23rd Regiment that the Chinese defenders were first hit hard, so it would be so easy for you to win. And don’t you think that your Hatan detachment is twice as crowded than my 23rd Regiment?

Because of an illusory victory, the two Japanese actually started a scheming in front of the formation.

But at this moment, gunfire suddenly broke out in Baijia Town. Not long after, a signal of distress from the Japanese correspondents in front came.

They said there were many enemies in the city and they needed support. Then, with a loud bang, there was no sound on the other side of the headphones.

Hatan roared, but no one answered. He realized the seriousness of the matter and ordered his second infantry brigade to support him.

The Hatan Demons cannot give up the achievements they have achieved.

He has broken through the city gates of Baijia Town. If he retreats at this time, he may be laughed at by Fujimura?

So Hata broke his teeth and swallowed blood, and could only swallow the bitter fruit by himself.

But he didn't know that this was falling into Zhou Weiguo's plan.

When Zhou Weiguo was short of artillery shells, he used a small amount of troops to attract the Japanese into the city, and then quickly encircled and annihilated the Japanese with his superior troops and firepower.

When the Japanese were not deceived, their troops quickly dispersed and they began to fight street battles with the Japanese again.

Zhou Weiguo owned the volunteer army in Baijia Town as the guide, but the Japanese did not. They were not familiar with the intersections of various streets and could only be passively beaten everywhere.
