Originally, when the Nagai Tokugawa Regiment went to rescue the Somoto Kazuo Battalion, Ikeda Battalion was notified to come quickly to take over the defense mission of Xiongshu Town.
I thought that the Ikeda Battalion would arrive in Xiongshu Town in time, and by then, even if China was in front of us, The enemy's strength was still several times theirs.
Relying on the weapons and ammunition accumulated in Xiongzhou Town, they would not be captured for a while.
But what they never expected was that the enemy's attack speed was still faster than that of Ikeda's brigade.
Seeing the brigade of transport trucks, Osaka Kusatsu also understood that the enemy troops coming were also the best of the best.
It was not easy for Teijin to prepare so many vehicles.
The Japanese army sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the battlefield in North China in less than two months, and at the same time increased its troops in Songhu in large numbers.
It was impossible to cover everything.
Ikeda's brigade was only a dozen miles away from Xiongzhou Town at this time, but these dozen miles were the separation between heaven and man.
"No, that's bad, the cavalry squadron leader escaped with his men."
"Pfft!"
Hearing this bad news that made matters worse, Taro Kusanagi was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, they were suppressed by the enemy and could not lift their heads.
The gate of the city had been blown up by enemy cannons, creating a large gap.
The enemy forces on the opposite side were obviously aware of the importance of Xiongzhou Town.
They had already learned the true and false strength of the Japanese troops in the town from the previous shelling.
At this time, they did not even conduct a tentative attack and directly launched a battalion-level attack. charge.
When a force equivalent to half a brigade roared and charged at Xiongzhou Town under the cover of artillery fire, the scene was extremely spectacular.
"Let's go, you and the rest of the team come with me.
We don't have to worry about it here."
Osaka Osaka also made a decision.
After realizing that it was impossible to block the opponent's attack, he directly launched a desperate resistance.
With a broken team of less than thirty people, he went straight to the armory.
"Quick.
Quick.
Use the fastest speed to destroy all the arms.
They must not fall into the hands of the Chinese army."
A small number of Japanese infantrymen were still resisting, but they seemed so powerless in front of the army that rushed into the city.
Except for the dozens of Japanese cavalry who escaped, the Japanese army suffered nearly a hundred casualties in the shelling.
There are only over two hundred people who can still maintain combat effectiveness.
However, Sosa Osaka took away twenty or thirty people, plus part of the cavalry regiment that escaped, and there were less than two hundred people left to defend.
Facing the Northwest Army, which was striving to end half of the war in the shortest possible time, this level of resistance was very feeble.
The defensive force is too weak, and there are no reserves available.
Once the front cannot withstand the enemy troops that are constantly pouring in, the Northwest Army does not even need to carry out a few more charges.
After a few rounds of mortars, the mortars Under the cover of the enemy, they rushed directly into the town.
Next came the continuous influx of thousands of troops.
At this time, there were less than 200 Japanese troops, including the wounded, facing thousands of high-spirited enemy troops.
Just like a flame encountering a heavy downpour, it flickered for a few times before being completely submerged in the torrent of northwest troops.
"Xu Guangzhong.
You lead a regiment to be on guard, and the others will use the fastest speed to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops in the town."
Li Chunrun knew that time was running out.
The more time he had, the more confident he would be in defending Xiongzhou Town.
"Your Excellency Cao Ci, there are too many munitions.
Where should we bomb first?"
the soldier asked anxiously.

A large number of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
The enemy troops had already entered.
Their comrades did not stop the opponent for long. time.
"Blow up those cannons first and ignite the shells.
Hurry!"
Osaka Osaka was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time.
At this point, I have to mention that due to the Westerly dive bombers equipped by the Northwest Air Force, they quickly Due to its illustrious reputation, the Japanese army suffered a lot at the hands of this bomber.
Even the Mutian Wing was blocked from retreat directly because of the Zephyr 1 bomber.
Precisely because they suffered several losses at the hands of the Zephyr 1 bomber, and in view of the range of the Zephyr 1, although supplies at the transfer station in the rear area were still concentrated, in Xiongzhou Town, in order to avoid being overwhelmed by the Zephyr 1 bomber, the Japanese army Keep weapons and ammunition separate.
The so-called eggs are not put in one basket, but it is precisely because of this that Taro Sobas cannot destroy all the ordnance at once in this situation.
A violent explosion sounded, and a huge plume of smoke rose up in Xiongzhou Town.
"Hurry up, these bastards want to blow up the arms, stop them."
At this time, the soldiers responsible for cleaning up the remaining Japanese forces in the town were running around like crazy.
"Go on, kill them."
Finally a group of soldiers saw the sabotaging Japanese army.
The soldiers with the guys in their hands rushed forward without thinking.
"Chinese people, let's die together."
Osaka Osaka looked crazy.
It was too late to go to other places to destroy the weapons and ammunition.
However, these precious 38-type 105 heavy field guns in front of him, as well as hundreds of rounds of heavy It is absolutely impossible to leave artillery shells to these enemy troops.
With a determined look in his eyes, Sosa Osaka was carrying a bundle of cluster grenades, his eyes burning wildly.
"No, retreat."
Not only did they kill the soldiers of the Northwest Army who rushed over, but there was also a look of fear in the eyes of several Japanese soldiers. boom A series of explosions converged into one mass, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers in the middle were directly evaporated in the huge light and heat energy.
The soldiers of the Northwest Army who fled quickly were directly shaken by the huge explosion, and their eyes were blackened, and they only felt the world spinning.
As for the soldiers of the Northwest Army who escaped slower, the bodies closer to them disintegrated directly in the shock wave and turned into clouds of blood mist.
The mouths, noses, and ears further away were filled with blood and were thrown into the air like paper.
At the relative center of the explosion, the extremely heavy Japanese-made 38-type heavy field gun, together with its heavy gun mount, was lightly lifted into the air, easily twisted, deformed, and torn apart.
Even one heavy artillery shell hitting the ground can cause a huge shock wave, let alone hundreds of them exploding at once.
The entire Xiongzhou Town trembled at the huge explosion.
All the soldiers of the Northwest Army who rushed into Xiongzhou Town looked at the direction of the explosion.
"Damn it, the Japanese army must have been unable to keep watch and detonated the weapons."
Li Chunrun, the commander of the assault, was so angry that he threw his hat to the ground.
The explosion came and went quickly.
After the heat dissipated, Li Chunrun shivered with distress when he saw the heavy field cannon that had fallen to the ground and was about to be melted into iron weights.
If we can get these heavy artillery pieces, it won't take long to finish off the Japanese infantry brigade we intercepted before
