At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army began to attack Tongugu City. Sasaki, who was eager to attack, led a large number of Japanese soldiers and, without preparing for artillery fire, learned the tactics of the 113th Regiment. After more than an hour of fighting along the way,
As the jungle slowly penetrated to the front of the 200th Division's position, a sudden attack was launched.
Surrounded by enemies on all sides, with unstable people and insufficient troops, the 200th Division was caught off guard on the west route and was disrupted by a sudden attack. It broke through the city defenses and entered the west city in one fell swoop.
The tenacious brothers of the 200th Division immediately began street fighting. An unexpected situation happened at this time. The Japanese army in the north of the city invaded the city using almost the same tactics. The large force stationed in the north city was an engineering unit and could not withstand the sudden Japanese attack. Not only did
The defensive position in the north of the city was lost, and what was even more unacceptable was that the 200th Division headquarters was actually isolated in the chaos.
Commander Dai led the guard company to build a solid defense line and launched an arduous positional battle with the enemy. Fortunately, after entering the city, the Japanese heavy weapons could not play a big role, and the Japanese troops who broke into the city also
There are not many heavy weapons, and the division headquarters security company is the most elite force in close combat. The Japanese army has no good way to capture the 200 division headquarters at the same time.
After Deputy Commander Zheng, who was in charge of commanding the infantry, learned of this situation, he quickly organized two battalions of troops and launched a fierce attack on the two groups of Japanese troops in the city from the north and west.
When the brothers heard that the division commander was surrounded, they all had fire in their eyes. The brothers of the 200 Division, who were equipped with a considerable number of assault rifles, still had a certain advantage in street fighting. Of course, the more important thing was that the brothers knew who they were fighting for.
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, when the sun was about to go down, most of the two groups of enemies that broke into the city were finally wiped out. The remaining Japanese troops had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the outside of the city and continue to attack the ancient city.
Surrounded by layers of troops, ready to fight again in the future.
Luo Yuesong led his troops to stay on the top of a high mountain. He could see the fierce fighting in the city through a sniper scope. However, he was separated from the city by the Japanese army. If he wanted to enter the city, he had to break through the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army. This was very difficult for a special force.
For the team, this is really not a cost-effective strategy.
When Luo Yuesong was anxious, Lei Hang ran over.
"Captain, telegram from division headquarters."
"read."
"We have learned that Commander Liao Shuxiang of the new 22nd Division is leading his troops on a starry night journey to Tonggu to rescue the 200th Division. We now order the division's reconnaissance team to rush to the north of the city to greet them and guide reinforcements to assist the 200th Division in breaking out."
"Damn it, I thought our reconnaissance team was useless. It's finally time for me to show off. Brothers, pack your bags and set off with me to meet the support troops of the new 22nd Division Commander Liao Shuxiang and relieve the 200th Division.
, rescue Mr. Dai, rescue Nurse Lan." Luo Yuesong suddenly became energetic and spoke high-spiritedly to his brothers.
"Yes." The brothers who had been anxious for a long time were all energetic, quickly packed up, and set off towards the north of the city with the captain.
Under Shaoqiu's guidance, after Lei Hang's radio station established contact with the New 22nd Division, after more than an hour of marching, the reconnaissance team finally met the reinforcements of the New 22nd Division 10 miles north of the city.
"Reporting to Commander Liao, Luo Yuesong, captain of the 200th Division Reconnaissance Team, was ordered to come to greet Commander Liao and the brothers of the New 22nd Division. Commander Liao is giving timely help. Now the 200th Division is surrounded by Japanese troops and has been fighting in the streets for several days." Luo Yuesong.
His mouth didn't stop after the salute.
"Captain Luo, our new 22nd Division has come to support us on the order of Commander Du. The 200th Division is the backbone of the Fifth Army and the heart and soul of Commander Du. Commander Du himself has no choice but to lead his troops and prepare to go deep into the barren land.
, taking huge risks, we are preparing to withdraw from Savage Mountain to the country. Even under such circumstances, we are still sent to support the 200 Division. Now there are several Japanese regiments attacking. According to the situation you have learned through reconnaissance, what do you think we will do?
Launch a rescue operation?" Mr. Liao was polite and confident in his words.
