I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 245 Go North to Xuzhou
In the city, because Xu Qingfeng and others led the Huben Regiment to counterattack across the board, the fierce battle was in full swing.

The tank battalions and cavalry companies outside the city were progressing smoothly under the leadership of Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and others.

They have occupied the devil's offensive position.

The tank was driven directly outside the city wall, and it launched a fierce shelling and strafing at the few devil soldiers stationed on the city wall.

After a short meeting, the few devils stationed on the south gate of the city were wiped out by the tank battalion and the cavalry company.

Zhou Weiguo immediately ordered Xu Hu: "Huzi, our troops are divided into two groups. You bring three tanks and twenty cavalry into the city, cooperate with the counterattack troops in the city, and attack the Japanese from a flank.

I took other tanks and cavalry and rushed to the west of the city to cooperate with the brother troops over there to intercept the devils and prevent them from breaking out and escaping while taking advantage of the chaos! "

"Yes!" Xu Hu, who was in another Sherman tank, took the order sharply, and immediately ordered three tanks and a small number of cavalry to rush into the city from the south gate.

Zhou Weiguo took another seven tanks and most of the cavalry and rushed toward the southwest of the city along the open space outside the city wall.

At this time, in the urban area near the south gate, only the 8th Infantry Battalion led by Yamada Hirobumi remained.

And this 8th Infantry Group, after being damaged in successive fierce battles, has less than 300 people left.

With the cooperation of the tank and cavalry units led by Xu Hu, the main force of the Huben Regiment quickly broke through. The temporary defense line built by Yamada Hirobumi and the more than 200 devil remnants wiped them all out in a collapsed residential area.

The weaponry and military strength of both sides are not at the same level.

In terms of morale, the devils were also crushed by the tiger group, and they were attacked by the enemy, so naturally they couldn't resist.

After the devils in the south of the city were dealt with, the main force led by Xu Qingfeng and Xu Hu's squad merged smoothly.

The two troops quickly advanced along the streets and alleys in the south of the city to the southwest of Xuyi.

When the main Japanese troops discovered that something was wrong, they indeed wanted to take the opportunity to withdraw from Xuyi City and evacuate to the southwest.

However, before they all withdrew, Zhou Weiguo arrived with the main force of the tank battalion and cavalry company.

The powerful firepower composed of seven Sherman tanks instantly knocked down a large number of devils who had no time to dodge.

The officers and soldiers of the cavalry company also fired and attacked in unison. With the absolute advantage in firepower, they quickly beat back the devils who were trying to withdraw.

When Xu Qingfeng, Zhang Zhijian, Sun Kui and others led the battalions of the Huben Regiment, they arrived one after another from the city.

The Eagle Mori Detachment, the Yamada Detachment and the remnants of the 18th Mixed Brigade have been besieged by the various units of the Huben Regiment in a narrow strip less than one kilometer southwest of the city.

In the face of the desperate devils, Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and other members of the Huben Group will naturally not show mercy.

The tank battalion, artillery battalion, and the mortars, grenade launchers under the jurisdiction of the main infantry battalions, and even some small-caliber artillery just seized, all came in handy.

For a time, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers from the Huben regiment opened fire and bombarded them.

The devils in the encirclement were blown up crying for their fathers and mothers, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The fierce bombardment lasted for half an hour. All units of the Huben Regiment, led by tanks and covered by infantry, launched a final onslaught against the remaining Japanese troops in the encircled area.

At this time, Ling Mori and other Japanese commanders were all killed by the indiscriminate and violent shelling of the Huben Regiment.

The more than 2000 devils remaining in the encirclement, without a leader, fought on their own, with low morale and at a disadvantage in overall strength and firepower, they were completely powerless to resist the attack of the Huben regiment.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, most of the Japanese troops were wiped out in Xuyi, except for a few Japanese who took advantage of the chaos to break through.

……

About an hour after the battle, Chief of Staff Liang Shan and two guards excitedly came to Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others.

Regardless of saluting, he said to the few people who were talking: "The results of the battle have been counted. In this battle, our Huben Regiment wiped out more than [-] enemies!

Basically wiped out the enemy Yamada Detachment, Takamori Detachment and the 18th Mixed Brigade. "

Xu Qingfeng said: "Have the several blocking battles outside the city been counted?"

Liang Shan nodded and said, "No, the above results only count the defensive counterattack in Xuyi County!"

"If we include the results of the previous blocking battles, we will have wiped out at least more than 5000 enemies this time!"

Xu Hu, who was standing beside Zhou Weiguo, was overjoyed and couldn't help but agree: "Good guy, the little devils of the three detachments were all defeated by us just like that!

Now, Xuyi County can be guaranteed to be foolproof, right? "

Zhou Weiguo nodded, looked at Xu Qingfeng next to him, and asked: "Qingfeng, Xuyi was successfully defended. Should we go north next?"

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded, and said to Liang Shan, "Chief of Staff, order each battalion and company to quickly clean up the battlefield. After cleaning, the whole regiment rests for an hour, and then quickly moves northward to Xuzhou!"

"Yes!" Liang Shan responded, and asked again: "We will withdraw now, what about Xuyi City?"

Xu Qingfeng smiled meaningfully and said, "The battle is over, the reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Baoguo, the deputy chief of staff, hurried over with a colonel and officer.

Facing the gazes of Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others, Lin Baoguo introduced: "Sir, this is Colonel Luo Tianming, the commander of the 778th Regiment of the friendly army, who is here to reinforce us."

Xu Hu couldn't help but mutter: "The battle is over and reinforcements have arrived. Why did you go there earlier?"

Luo Tianming was a little embarrassed, but he still bit the bullet and stepped forward to salute Xu Qingfeng and the others: "Commander Xu, you have worked hard. Our department was ordered to come for reinforcements. We encountered enemy air raids on the way, so we came here." It’s too late, don’t blame me!”

For this situation, Xu Qingfeng knew it well, smiled back and said: "Commander Luo, you're welcome, it's good if you can come.

It just so happens that our department is about to set off, and the Xuyi County will be handed over to your department! "

"Your Ministry is going to move?" Luo Tianming was a little surprised. In his opinion, the Huben Regiment had just won a big victory, so he had to stay and rest for a while to digest the spoils captured this time?

Why are you leaving so soon?
Xu Qingfeng said in a solemn voice: "The situation on the battlefield on the northern front in Xuzhou is not good. Our troops have been ordered to go north for reinforcements!"

When Luo Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but be awed: "Your department has worked hard!"

I couldn't help but complain for Huben Tuan in my heart, this Shangfeng was really using Huben Tuan like a cow, and he didn't let him rest for a moment.

He didn't know that the reason why Xu Qingfeng was in a hurry to go north to Xuzhou was that he wanted to go there as soon as possible to reinforce the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army who were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese Army.

The main reason is to take this opportunity to go north to the Japanese war zone and completely get rid of Principal Chang's control over him.

PS: I just got the computer, so I can’t say more. I can only say that everyone should pay attention to safety and wear masks frequently.
