Chapter 18 Destruction
He also came from a descendant of a wealthy family with a surname before the Meiji Restoration. Keiji Harunakami's actual command ability is more than better than Colonel Nagano who is about to embark on his way back to China.
In this situation of general collapse of the entire army, Zhongzuo Chunghwa did not lose his will to fight. He thought that as long as he could command the squadron at the North Gate to block the momentum of the Chinese army's advance and take the opportunity to gather the troops at the North Gate. Maybe the Forty Regiment could stabilize its position and protect the position of the Taierzhuang North Gate. As long as the reinforcements sent by the detachment could arrive in time, there might be a new turning point in the battle situation.
It should be recognized that as a corps commander, Chun Shang Jingci is relatively competent.
Under the protection of the staff of seven or eight corps headquarters, Chun Shangzhong Zuota arrived at the north gate of Taierzhuang as he wished.
When Chun Shang Zhongzuo discovered that the North Gate was not only under the control of the Japanese squadron, but also had more than a hundred Japanese troops who retreated to the North Gate in advance. What surprised Chun Shang the most was that it was transported into the village at dusk to supplement the ammunition of the Forty Regiment, most of the ammunition of the Forty Regiment was accumulated in a stone house under the North Gate.
The overjoyed Chunghakazuo immediately formed the more than 100 Japanese troops who had disrupted the establishment and appointed a staff officer from a corps as the squadron leader. Twenty minutes before the arrival of the Chinese army, Chunghakazuo did not hesitate to shoot two officers who tried to take the lead in escaping from Taierzhuang on the spot, forcibly shocked these at a loss-willed soldiers who were blinded by the powerful offensive of the Chinese army. At the same time, he sent a messenger who requested emergency reinforcements from the detachment headquarters.
When the Chinese army chased the defeated Japanese troops and arrived at the north gate of Taierzhuang, Zhongzuo had successfully set up a reasonable line of defense on the north gate tower.
"Kill and give it to you!" (Japanese: Shooting.) With the order of Haruka Nakasa, all the light and heavy weapons of the Japanese army at the North Gate opened fire violently.
The cold and cruel Nakasa Kazusa commanded the Japanese shooting target, which was the junction of the Japanese defeated soldiers and the vanguard of the Chinese army. This indiscriminate attack that was not distinguished between enemies and us instantly made the Chinese army's high morale abrupt.
The Japanese army did not pay the price. Most of the 100 people falling outside the North Gate were defeated soldiers. The other Japanese troops temporarily broke off contact with the pursuing Chinese army and were able to run to a corner on the left side of the downstairs of the North Gate, under the guidance of an officer sent by Zhongshang Nakasa, in one breath. There, Zhongshang Nakasasa had already arranged several staff officers from the corps to urgently organize the defeated soldiers.
The terrain inside the North Gate is very beneficial to defense. With the open area of more than 100 meters, more than 200 Japanese troops rely on sufficient ammunition to use fire tongues woven out of various weapons to block the attack of the Chinese army.
"Bor, Bor, Bor." A series of machine gun bullets hit Wen Songyuan one after another, which made the officers and soldiers of the Independent 100 Brigade recognized as the number one strong general, which could not even lift his head. This made Wen Songyuan, who was as fierce as fire, feel very annoyed, and wished to rush up to fight the Japanese at the city gate. Fortunately, there was a little rational Wen Songyuan chose to take a few steps back while the Japanese firepower of the Japanese army was slightly weakened, otherwise Cheng Jiaji would lose a powerful general.
"Hu Dingbang, come here for me." As soon as Wen Songyuan retreated to a safer place, he shouted loudly the name of the company commander of the mortar company of the 200 regiments, asking the company commander to come to him as soon as possible.
"Look, can the mortars in your company hit the group of marshals on the left side of the North Gate?" Wen Songyuan asked.
"The mount, that angle happens to be the dead corner of the shooting of the mortar." Hu Dingbang replied.
Indeed, the place where the Japanese army defeated the establishment of the Japanese army was selected by Chunghshang, which was a dead end for the shooting of the Chinese army. In Chunghshang's view, the Chinese army's artillery fire could not be fired, and various light weapons could not cause large-scale damage to the Japanese army. As long as the Japanese army on the city gate could block the Chinese army's attack for half an hour, he could restore these hundreds of scattered soldiers to a little combat effectiveness.
"You guy's brain is broken, and he is still a damn master of artillery department in the military academy. I send it to you with people. When you are less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese, you can fire it. You go and gather all the mortars of all the troops here within ten minutes. I will use the mortar as a grenade today!"
"The troop seat, this distance can easily hit our heads after it is out of the barrel." Hu Dingbang obviously didn't catch a cold about Wen Songyuan's fighting style, and tried to make his immediate boss give up this idea.
"This is what the mortar company of the 199th Regiment did when it was surrounded during the day. Why can't you do it? Don't say it! Execute it!" Wen Songyuan interrupted the artillery expert's complaint with an unquestionable tone.
Wen Songyuan's method is a solution that cannot be solved. Apart from the greater casualties, he also did not lose a harsh move. Fortunately, the Chinese army was more crowded than the Japanese army at this time.
Under Wen Songyuan's strict order, he had already chased the 25600 Chinese troops at the North Gate. (At this time, Yu Juncai was commanding his troops to encircle and annihilate a small group of Japanese troops in Zhuangli. The Chinese troops under the North Gate were mostly the left army and part of the right army.) It was divided into two groups, one used powerful firepower to press forward to the Japanese troops on the north gate wall with a large number of people, and the other group protected Hu Dingbang's command under the cover of the previous group of people. The mortar group composed of mortars composed of mortars that temporarily collected all the Chinese troops under the city gate, rushed towards the hundreds of people who were distributing ammunition in the entire team.
In this way, no matter how good the Zhongzuo of Chun was able to fight, he was still powerful and had nowhere to use it. No matter how strong the Japanese firepower was in front, he could not take advantage of the firepower of the Chinese army that was six or seven times that of his own, but he would not have any advantage. Instead, he suffered a lot of casualties. The Chinese army attacking this group of Japanese army suffered twice as much as the Japanese army, but now he could also exchange it for the other two.
When the Chinese army's mortar shells with different calibers landed on the heads of the Japanese army under the city, Harukami Nakasa knew that he was powerless to turn things around!
Groups of mortar shells fell on the heads of the Japanese army under the city, causing heavy casualties and injuries. The Japanese army, who were still fighting, rushed towards the Chinese army with a roar, and let the more than a thousand Chinese troops protecting the mortar group attack and attack with a burst of fire. Occasionally, sporadic Japanese troops rushed to the front, and were immediately covered by the sea of people from the Chinese army that were several times or dozens of times more than they had.
After dealing with the large number of Japanese soldiers under the Beimen City, no matter how tenacious the Japanese soldiers in the city were, they could not withstand the fierce attack of Chinese troops and casualties. The Japanese army on the city soon couldn't bear it anymore. Chunghshu was shot dead by a mortar shell on the spot, and the Japanese resistance was also declared to be over. Except for thirty or forty Japanese troops who escaped from the Beimen, all the main forces of the remnants of the Japanese 40th Regiment who fled to the Taipei Gate of Taier were annihilated!
Half an hour after the Chinese army began this attack, the battle flag of the Chinese army was raised again on the north gate tower of Taierzhuang, flew in the wind and fluttering high.
