Chapter 157 Kei Seya's Final Decision, Siege of the Seya Phantom Troupe
Last night's battle was extremely fierce. The enemy on the other side was like a mad dog, constantly attacking and tearing at us.
They killed many enemy soldiers, but suffered heavy losses themselves.
This kind of chaotic fighting seems to be the method that the Chinese army on the other side prefers.
Because it can significantly reduce Japanese firepower and has advantages in individual soldier skills.
As for bayonet fighting, the soldiers were already bloodthirsty and had forgotten their fear. How could they possibly be afraid of bayonet fighting with the Japanese army?
Originally, Kei Seya planned to launch a direct counterattack and catch the enemy off guard.
Then, use fierce firepower to suppress the enemy forces, or even defeat them outright.
In this way, he can extricate himself and retreat.
But he underestimated the importance of time.
These enemies displayed an iron will to fight; on the entire battlefield, not a single soldier was found who was afraid of death and chose to flee.
At this moment, Kitano Suzuki walked over and said:
"The division headquarters called and ordered my unit to break out toward Hanzhuang. There is still a unit of the 20th Division there."
Meanwhile, the division commander said that if enemy armored units attacked, they should disperse and break out to preserve as much manpower as possible.
Upon hearing this telegram, Seya Kei took a deep breath and said:
"understood."
But no sooner had he finished speaking than he heard what sounded like shouts of killing coming from ahead.
Damn it, those tireless and fearless Chinese soldiers launched another attack on them.
"Leave the troops in front; the rest of the troops, break out towards Hanzhuang."
Kei Seya decisively gave the order.
He knew that if he delayed any longer, he would really miss his chance.
Li Jianghe's tank unit was able to break through the main force of the 10th Division last night, so how could his brigade possibly resist?
Moreover, the enemy was attacking from both sides, and he knew very well what that meant.
Just as Seya Kei's troops had finished assembling, the scouts deployed in the rear discovered a large number of tank units surging in from the north.
Looking at the rapidly moving black line on the horizon and the dust kicked up by the tanks as they moved, both Kei Seya and Suzuki Kitano subconsciously took a deep breath.
"They've come, they've finally come."
Kitano Suzuki's face was long and droopy, a mixture of shock and instinctive fear.
Upon seeing this, Kei Seya finally realized that he couldn't escape.
Just then, he placed his palm on the samurai sword bestowed upon him by the Emperor.
No, this time, he won't run away!
Seemingly having made up his mind, Seya Kei drew the samurai sword bestowed upon him by the Emperor with a whoosh.
"Breakout order cancelled. All personnel to position, prepare for battle!!!!"
Kei Seya roared angrily.
"Hai!!!!"
Kitano Suzuki responded loudly.
But after he responded, he discovered that it was not an order to break out, but an order to fight.
"Brigade Commander, we..."
Seya interrupted his question with a cold look in his eyes.
"Execute the command!"
"Hai!!!"
Kitano Suzuki shouted again, and this time, his answer was free of confusion and hesitation.
The bloody battle has begun!
The defensive positions of the Japanese Army's Seya Kei Brigade were circular, and a large number of anti-tank guns were deployed there.
It is easy to imagine how fierce the battle between the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army was last night, given the enemy's position.
that's the truth.
In order to keep the Seya Kei Brigade occupied and prevent them from paying attention to other matters, they launched repeated frontal assaults, launching an offensive almost without stopping for a moment.
Only in this way can we prevent Seya Kei from diverting troops to reinforce the main force of the Japanese division that has been attacked.
At present, the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army are still in the midst of the offensive, but their forces have actually been reduced to only half of their original strength.
Last night they suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and these were all combat personnel.
At that moment, the smoke and dust rolling in from afar drew Chi Fengcheng, Wang Mingzhang, and the others out of the command post.
"It's Jianghe's troops."
Chi Fengcheng's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice:
"That kid, he really did come back to fight!!!"
Wang Mingzhang also said:
"So domineering! The Third Detachment is domineering! Jiang He is domineering!! Now that they're here, the Japanese Setani Brigade will be much easier to defeat!!"
Soldiers from the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army also cheered.
They could feel the ground shaking, the roar in the air, and the dust billowing in the distance.
That's the kind of activity and spectacle that only occurs when large-scale armored or cavalry units are on the move.
"Rise up, Third Detachment! We have tanks to help us beat the Japanese devils!!!"
"You little bastards, this time we'll show you how powerful our tanks are!!!"
·····
After everyone had spoken, Li Jianghe gathered the field artillery and launched the first bombardment of the Japanese positions.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army almost all became cheerleaders.
Seeing the Japanese positions covered by heavy artillery fire, they couldn't help but cheer.
"Good bomb, good bomb! Having artillery is so great!!!"
"Bomb those bastards to death!!!!"
"Long live General Li! Long live the Third Detachment!!!"
"Bomb those bastards to death!!!!"
"Long live General Li! Long live the Third Detachment!!!"
·····
Cheers resounded through the sky, but were quickly drowned out by the roar of artillery shells.
The artillery battalion of the tank brigade, along with the short-barreled guns gathered by Li Jianghe and 30 field artillery squads temporarily summoned, formed the main force of this bombardment.
"Boom!!!!!"
After the continuous bombing ended, the tank units charged.
The anti-tank firing positions deployed by Kei Seya were largely destroyed in the recent artillery barrage.
Now they have to build makeshift anti-tank gun positions on the cratered battlefield.
"Boom!!!!!"
This is the roar of tanks and cannons.
The armored forces of the Third Detachment surged towards the defensive positions of the Seya Brigade like a torrent.
Facing the defensive positions that the Japanese army had built in advance, this battle was obviously not as easy as before.
Li Jianghe originally thought that Seya Kei would choose to break through, but now it seems that he was wrong.
He underestimated the man's determination and courage.
Whether it was Isogai Rensuke's order or his own decision, Seya Kei was determined to lead this Japanese unit to fight to the death.
Li Jianghe felt neither admiration nor sympathy for these beasts.
What he had to do was use the most ferocious firepower to crush these enemies into dust!
The tank battalion of Baicheng Mountain was originally maneuvering towards Hanzhuang, but suddenly received orders to launch an attack on the flank of the Seya Brigade's position.
At this point, Shirokiyama learned that the Seya Brigade had given up on breaking out and was going to fight to the death there.
He liked Kei Seya's decision.
Because of this, Bai Chengshan led the tank troops to kill all the Japanese soldiers, leaving no one behind.
