Chapter 423: I can't hold it so soon (the first chapter is here today)
"Military seat! The Anqing side is about to lose its defense. There are a lot of Japanese troops coming. We are asking for reinforcements over there!"
When the Sichuan Army of the 134th Division on the Anqing side and the Nationalist officers and soldiers of the 26th Group Army were suddenly attacked by the Japanese army at the same time, and they carried out indiscriminate bombing attacks by sea, land and air,
The battle situation soon became very unfavorable for the troops of the 134th Division who were holding on to Anqing.
So the regiment leader over there immediately sent people on horseback to report. Because many nearby wires had been cut by the Japanese, the power to send telegrams was lost.
"We must defend if we can't hold it! Now send me a group of more troops. The war has not started for a long time. We must not lose Anqing, otherwise we will be in trouble, and the Chairman will definitely be angry!"
When the division commander Xia Jiong, the deputy army commander, received the critical telegram from Anqing again, he also issued the order in a very irritable mood.
At the same time, he immediately dispatched an additional group of troops to support the battle in Anqing.
As for him, he also led his troops to defend other lines of defense against sudden night attacks by the Japanese Marine Corps.
At this time, Yang Sen, the commander of the 20th Army, also received a report from the rapid-fire communications troops sent by Xia Jiong, the deputy commander of the division, at the same time. He knew that the battle in Anqing had already broken out.
But now he still needs to command his troops in other defensive positions to prepare for the Japanese navy's attack, and also to guard against attacks from behind by the Japanese 6th Division.
Because at this time, the Japanese Sixth Division had already defeated the Nationalist officers and soldiers of the 26th Group Army, and suffered heavy casualties.
It won't be long before I'm afraid I'll be defeated like a mountain.
Therefore, regarding the suddenness and bad situation of the battle, the commander of the 20th Army, Yang Sen, was also very irritable at this moment.
"Damn Japs! They came so fast!"
"I haven't deployed all the defenses yet! They're coming!"
When Commander Yang Sen of the 20th Army read the battle report in Anqing, he became even more restless and cursed.
"It's not good! Military seat! The two landing points of Anqing, Mawozi in the east and Dawang Temple in the west, have fallen to the Japanese army. Now the main force of the Japanese army has invaded the safe city.
, are engaged in a fierce battle with our remaining troops!"
Just when the commander of the 20th Army, Yang Sen, was upset, communications officer Xiao Bin, sweating profusely and looking panicked, ran up to him and handed him an emergency telegram report.
This telegram is the latest battle situation sent by the deputy commander who had some wires repaired.
"What!"
"So soon, you can't hold on anymore?"
"How many Japs have come? Which Japs unit are they?"
After hearing this, the commander of the 20th Army, Yang Sen, was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly.
Because he did not expect that Anqing would be beaten into the city by the Japanese so quickly. So how long can Anqing be able to defend it?
"A lot of people are coming. They are the Botian detachment. The entire detachment has over ten thousand people. They are divided into two groups of troops and are surrounding us from the east and west!"
"Deputy Commander Xia has also dispatched an additional group of troops to provide support, but they still can't withstand the invasion of the Japanese army for a long time, so now the other side is asking us to send more reinforcements to support the operation, otherwise I'm afraid tonight
Anqing will be lost!"
In response to the question raised by Commander Yang Sen of the 20th Army, communications officer Xiao Bin also responded quickly.
"So what's the situation on the 26th Group Army's side? Can they withstand the attack of the Japanese Sixth Division?"
After hearing this, the commander of the 20th Army, Yang Sen, continued to ask.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to defend their side for much longer. They just called and hoped that we could allocate some troops to support their defense!"
Communications officer Xiao Bin responded with a not very good expression.
"Damn devil!"
"Deploy an extra group of troops to me immediately to support Anqing. No matter what, we can't lose it easily, otherwise the Japanese will soon be able to attack Madang Fortress and the Wuhan area!"
"As for the 26th Group Army's large number of troops, if they can't withstand the Japanese Sixth Division, then our troops sent to support will be in vain!"
"And we are now unable to protect ourselves. We don't have any extra troops or weapons and equipment to support them. You just need to monitor the dynamics of the battle on that side for me, especially if you give me a
If you find that the 26th Group Army has defeated the Japanese 6th Division and escaped, then you should inform me immediately!"
"We can't continue to hold on to Anqing, otherwise our entire army will be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army!"
When the commander of the 20th Army, Jan Sen, heard that the 26th Army actually wanted to send reinforcements, he immediately knew that the battle situation on that side was very bad, so he also worriedly issued a message
A series of commands.
"Yes! Military seat!"
Communications officer Xiao Bin quickly agreed and left quickly.
"We won't lose Anqing tonight!"
"There is also a battle situation on the side of the 26th Group Army. It will be captured by the Japanese Sixth Division tonight, right?"
When communications officer Xiao Bin turned around and left to do what he was told, Commander Yang Sen of the 20th Army also felt heavy and muttered to himself.
But soon, he immediately continued to command his troops to fight against the Japanese naval forces that were ready to attack at any time.
In fact, while he was doing this,
The battle in Anqing has entered the most dangerous and intense stage.
Although the Sichuan army that was holding on to its position received reinforcements from a battalion sent by Xia Jiong, the division commander of the deputy army commander, they faced a fierce attack from the Botian detachment, which had an absolute advantage in strength and firepower.
Seventy-seven or eighty-eight have been killed,
The entire army is about to be wiped out in Anqing. If there are no new reinforcements, weapons, equipment, and ammunition supplies, the remaining Sichuan troops will be wiped out by the Japanese army in Anqing City.
"What a bloody Japs! Brothers, keep fighting! Even if the entire army is wiped out here tonight, we will kill one more Japs to bury him with us!"
"The city is here and the people are here!"
"Fight for me and fight these stupid Japanese troops to the death!"
After only one battalion commander named Chen Chao remained in Anqing City, he continued to command the remaining Sichuan officers and soldiers, and continued to hold on to the last position in Anqing City, roaring at the top of his lungs.
"Kill the Japs! Kill the Japs! Kill the Japs!"
Following his indignant momentum, he shouted out the sound of fighting back against the incoming Japanese troops, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army, which was less than one company, also shouted loudly in response.
For a time, their voices resounded throughout Anqing City.
"Bagayalu! Attack! Attack!"
"Kill all the remaining Chinese troops! Kill them all!"
"I'm going to kill them all, kill them all!"
When Sakuragi Hanaaki, the Japanese captain who was responsible for dealing with these remaining Sichuan troops, heard that these Sichuan officers and soldiers were still fighting and resisting their attack with high spirits and yelling, he immediately loudly ordered the battle.
commanded.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
.......
...
After his combat order was issued, all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese brigade also loudly agreed.
Then their mortar crews and 50mm grenade units also quickly carried out artillery fire-covered attacks.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom, boom..."
In an instant, the entire last position of the Sichuan Army in Anqing City was quickly bombarded by Japanese artillery fire from the Botian detachment, and the bombardment started resoundingly.
"Ahhh! Ahhhhhh..."
Then, from the side of the Sichuan Army, the miserable howls and shrill screams of the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers who were killed and injured in the bombing were heard continuously.
