Two miles east of Baijia Town, there is a Japanese army position.
At this time, Captain Fujimura of the 23rd Japanese Regiment once again received a telegram from his headquarters. The telegram asked him to immediately occupy Baijia Town without any mistakes.
Fujimura was so angry that he scolded his mother directly. Because just an hour ago, he had already captured Baijia Town, but an order from above stopped him. At this time, the Chinese repaired the previously destroyed positions, and the superiors ordered
He attacks.
He even believed that a group of pigs were directing the battle above.
But he didn't know that the reason he was asked to stop the attack before was because the headquarters had received the news that Dragon Boat Festival was going to Baijia Town to deliver the secret code.
Assassinating Duanwu to obtain China's latest secret code will play a vital role in the entire war situation.
However, the assassination failed and the entire Takeshita Special Forces team was wiped out.
Takeshita Jun took the radio with him when he escaped. When he confirmed that he was safe, he sent a message to the Japanese military headquarters and explained the situation.
He said that the Dragon Boat Festival going to Baijia Town with a new secret code was a trap. There was no Dragon Boat Festival and no secret code at all, but a large number of US troops ambushed them at Laohui.
A large number of U.S. troops surrounded them, causing his Takeshita Special Forces to be wiped out. Only he escaped and sent a message to the headquarters to explain the situation.
Matsui Iwane was surprised when he heard this report. Why were Americans suddenly involved in the war between China and Japan? Are Americans crazy? Haven't they always remained neutral and sold arms everywhere?
?
Iwane Matsui couldn't figure out what kind of drama the Americans were singing this time.
"Baga, those Americans are really untrustworthy. They claim to be a neutral country, but they are secretly enemies of the Japanese Empire."
Matsui Iwane was very angry. He would definitely report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, and the Empire of Japan would also denounce these Americans internationally.
Nowadays, the Japanese Empire is also important in the world. Give them face and sit at the same table with those Western countries to eat. If you don't give them face, they will all die.
Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not the time to fall out. At most, I can just slap the table and shout twice in protest.
However, the seeds of hatred have been planted at this time, and it is only a matter of time before the Yankees are dealt with.
Matsui Iwane ordered Takeshita Shun to find a way to escape on his own, or to stay where he was and deal with the enemy, waiting for rescue. Because his iron hoofs from the Japanese Empire were about to cross the Chinese defense line at Omagawa River and advance towards the Changzhou line.
The Changzhou garrison only had two divisions, which was not enough for Ban Heng's division.
The Banheng Japanese also assured Matsui Iwane: "It is a foregone conclusion to win Changzhou. The key is how to win it."
Ban Heng's meaning couldn't be clearer. It would be easy to capture Changzhou. He was just thinking about how to annihilate the 112th Division and the 103rd Division.
So this old devil is really crazy and wants to swallow two masters in one go.
But then again, Ban Heng's division had just been transferred from the North China battlefield and was gaining momentum, but the 112th Division had been fighting for more than two months.
As reinforcements, the 103rd Division participated in the war for a short time, but the overall quality of the troops was not high, and they could only follow the 112th Division to provide reinforcements.
Therefore, when Ban Heng's Japanese army said that they wanted to swallow up the two divisions in Changzhou, they were not just lying.
However, he took a good opportunity in Baijia Town. If he had not ordered to stop the attack before, Baijia Town would have been captured by Tengcun. And even if Zhou Weiguo came with his troops, it would be a fierce battle.
Because the city wall of Baijia Town is very high, it would not be that easy to attack the city without heavy artillery.
But precisely at such a critical juncture, the commander of the Ban Heng Division ordered a halt to the attack, causing Colonel Fujimura to miss the opportunity and have to regroup and continue the attack.
Since the attack just now was very effective, and the south gate had also been breached, the Fujimura Japanese would use the method just now to attack the city again.
I just didn't expect that just when the old Japs in Tengcun were preparing to attack, a Japs scout came to report that the enemy's reinforcements were less than five kilometers away from Baijia Town.
Fujimura frowned, because at a distance of five kilometers, the Chinese could reach Baijia Town in less than ten minutes. And judging from the fact that he could completely annihilate his Second Infantry Brigade, this Chinese reinforcement was not only large in number, but also
And he fought very bravely.
So when faced with such a fierce force, even the old Japanese soldier Fujimura had to scratch his head. He had to prevent this force from entering the city, otherwise once this force entered Baijia Town, with his current strength
With limited troops, it will be difficult to capture Baijia Town.
He ordered the 3rd Infantry Brigade to divide into a squadron and intercept the Chinese reinforcements two kilometers west of Baijia Town. The remaining Japanese troops attacked Baijia Town with all their strength.
The Japs soldiers began to mobilize frequently. When Li Guoqiang saw him on the city wall, he knew that the Japs were preparing to attack the city again.
He looked at the only remaining warriors in front of him. Many of them were wounded, some had bandages on their heads, some had their arms hanging on their chests, and some could only lean on the wall stacks behind the city wall.
They looked tired, and most of them were silent.
Morale was low and the personnel were exhausted, which gave Li Guoqiang an extremely bad premonition.
At this time, the setting sun was like blood, and the earth was about to sink. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that it affected the morale of the soldiers.
But as a battalion-level officer, Li Guoqiang naturally could not let this kind of depression take root in the souls of the soldiers. What's more, at this time, a war was imminent.
He climbed up to a high place and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Japs are about to attack again. Their attack may be even more fierce than before. Because they know that our reinforcements are coming.
I just received a telegram from the reinforcements. The Japanese in Xiaoyangzhuang have been wiped out, and our reinforcements are speeding towards here.
Ten minutes, as long as we hold off the little Japs for ten minutes, our reinforcements will arrive here.
And by that time, not to mention the mere thousands of Japs in front of us, no matter how many Japs come over, this Baijia Town will become the grave of their little Japs!"
"Yes, let Baijia Town become the tomb of the little devils. So many of our brothers died here, how can we not avenge them?"
"Blood debts must be repaid with blood!"
"Brothers, we need to avenge ourselves. If we let the reinforcements avenge us, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our 112th Division?"
"Yes, we must avenge ourselves, let the little devils do it! Grandpa is waiting for them here!"
···············
Li Guoqiang's words were like a shot in the arm, piercing the heart of every soldier.
The soldiers' anger was once again ignited. With only two platoons, they had to resist the attacks of two Japanese squadrons and even more Japanese soldiers.
This battle was a disaster for them, but at this moment, every one of them felt like dying! ...
