Chapter 223: Hasegawa is Furious
After Zhang Dabiao led the 1st Regiment to attack Nanxi Village, the 2nd Regiment led by Shen Quan also successfully broke through the Japanese positions and entered Nanxi Village.
They are like two sharp swords, piercing straight into the enemy's heart.
Ikeda Kimori in the temporary command center heard the fierce gunfire coming from outside and became very nervous. His face turned pale and his eyes were full of anxiety.
He paced back and forth in the command center like a wild animal trapped in a cage.
He also didn't know how long his regiment could hold out. The firepower of the independent column was simply terrifying.
The attack, like a rainstorm, made him feel unprecedented pressure.
At this time, a Japanese captain hurriedly ran into the command center and went straight to Ikeda Kimori.
His steps were hurried and he still smelled of gunpowder from the battlefield.
"Report to the commander of the regiment. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce. All our positions outside Nanxi Village have been breached by the enemy. Now the enemy has entered Nanxi Village."
Ikeda Kimori yelled angrily, "Bakayaloo!"
"The Eighth Route Army actually broke through the outer positions so quickly, what did you do for a living?"
The Japanese captain hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, the wing commander, the warriors of the empire have really tried their best. The enemy's firepower is too terrifying. We have never encountered such an enemy on the Chinese battlefield."
There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he shuddered at the thought of the overwhelming artillery shells. He had never seen such terrifying firepower from a Chinese army.
Ikeda Kimori listened to the fierce gunfire coming from the village and quickly gave the order:
"Pass on my order. All soldiers abandon their outer positions and enter the village to fight the enemy to the death. Even if all the soldiers of the Ikeda regiment are killed in the battle, the enemy must pay a heavy price."
There was a determination in his eyes. Although he knew that defeat was inevitable, he still wanted to make a final struggle.
After hearing what Ikeda Kimori said, the Japanese captain nodded heavily. He also knew that Ikeda's regiment was doomed today and would never surrender even if all of them died in battle.
"Hai."
The Japanese captain accepted the order and quickly turned around to convey the message.
His figure quickly disappeared from the command center to convey this fatal order.
...............
at the same time.
The Third Regiment led by Duan Peng engaged in fierce fire with the reinforcements of the 102nd Division in the Wangdagou area.
The forces of the two regiments of the 102nd Division were blocked by the Third Regiment in Wangdagou, and countless Japanese soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Third Regiment's positions.
They rushed towards the position of the Third Regiment in wave after wave like a group of crazy ants.
The Third Regiment took advantage of the favorable terrain to attack the Japanese from a high position, but the number of Japanese was too large and the Third Regiment had a very difficult time.
The battalion commander crouched down and ran to Duan Peng from the trench, and said hurriedly: "Commander, the Japanese are crazy.
They are now attacking our positions at all costs. The casualties among the soldiers of the First Battalion are very heavy.”
Duan Peng looked at the densely packed Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain and shouted, "First Battalion Commander, listen to me carefully.
We must hold our position. We cannot retreat without the brigade commander's order.
I will give you another company of soldiers, and you must defend the position to the death."
"Yes, Captain."
The battalion commander responded and led a company of soldiers back to the position.
................
In the 102nd Division camp.
Hasegawa saw that the attacking troops had been unable to capture the Eighth Route Army at Wang Da Gou's blocking position.
He said angrily: "Bakayaloo!"
His face was distorted with anger and his eyes were fierce.
"Chief of Staff, order the artillery to continue shelling the enemy on the mountain. We must take down this group of enemies as soon as possible at all costs."
"Hai."
The Japanese chief of staff quickly turned around and conveyed the order, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Hasegawa looked at the fierce battle ahead and felt very anxious.
The Ikeda Regiment in Nanxi Village was being besieged by the Eighth Route Army. With the combat effectiveness of the independent column, the Ikeda Regiment could not hold out in Nanxi Village for long.
As Hasegawa's order was issued, the Japanese soldiers attacking the Third Regiment's position launched round after round of attacks like crazy.
They ignored casualties and rushed madly towards the mountain.
The soldiers of the Third Regiment held their positions tightly and refused to give an inch.
The soldiers' eyes were filled with firm conviction, and they would never back down even when facing a powerful enemy.
The Japanese artillery continued to launch fierce bombardments on the positions of the Third Regiment on the hillside.
The shells exploded on the battlefield, and the soil was blown everywhere, but the soldiers still held their posts.
the other side.
The battle in Nanxi Village was gradually coming to an end. The Japanese soldiers of the Ikeda Regiment were being defeated under the fierce attacks of the First and Second Regiments.
Their defense line was like a fragile dam, which kept collapsing under the attacks of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese officer led the remaining Japanese soldiers to make a final resistance in the center of the village.
They hid behind houses and in ruins and fired crazily at the Eighth Route Army.
Ikeda Kimori stood on the battlefield and saw that there were less than 500 imperial soldiers left, and almost all of them were injured.
There was despair in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm.
He knew that even if reinforcements arrived now, it would be of no use.
"Warriors of the Empire, you are all great. I am proud of you."
"We are now surrounded by the enemy. Even if we die in battle, we will never surrender."
"The soldiers of the Empire will never surrender and will serve the Emperor until death."
Ikeda Kimori shouted loudly from his position, trying to use such words to encourage the remaining soldiers to continue fighting.
After hearing the words of the regiment commander, the Japanese soldiers shouted enthusiastically:
"The Emperor is on board."
"The Emperor is on board."
Zhang Dabiao heard the Japanese soldiers at the Japanese position in the center of the village shouting in unison, but he didn't know what language they were shouting.
He curled his lips in disdain.
"Comrades, the remaining Japanese soldiers are in the center of the village. Continue to attack and eliminate them."
After saying that, Zhang Dabiao rushed down the mountain like a tiger with a machine gun, leading a group of soldiers to attack the Japanese positions in the center of the village.
....................
Temporary headquarters of the independent brigade.
Li Yunlong saw that the Japanese had been surrounded in the center of the village, and the soldiers from the first and second regiments launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.
A victorious smile appeared on his face, knowing that it was only a matter of time before all the Japanese in Nanxi Village were wiped out.
Li Yunlong immediately said to the communicator: "Communicator, contact the Third Regiment immediately and ask them to withdraw from the blocking position."
The battle of Nanxi Village is about to end, and the Third Regiment no longer needs to continue to hold the blocking position.
After receiving the instructions, the communicator quickly began to contact the Third Regiment.
