Chapter 271: Could It Be They Have Grown Three Heads and Six Arms?
Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru both believed it!
Three infantry battalions, over three thousand men, launched an attack on the defenders inside the city.
This battle would surely be a victory from the start!
After all!
In city defense and offense battles, the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment had repeatedly succeeded in the Pingjin Region.
Just as the two old devils were anticipating the news of victory from the vanguard troops.
A Communications Soldier from the 6th Division immediately ran before Tani Hisao.
"Report, Division Commander!"
"How could the defenders inside the city be so tenacious?"
Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru, the two old devils, were now lost in deep thought.
"It seems we have already taken Jinshan County."
Such a high casualty rate made Okamoto Shinomi immediately abandon the continued attack.
Before Okamoto Shinomi and Hori Minetaro could even open their mouths, the two seized the initiative.
A battalion of over a thousand men now had only three platoons left.
A glimmer of light flashed in Tani Hisao's eyes, "I want to see for myself."
After fighting for two hours.
These two old devils stood straight up from their chairs.
After hearing Xincun Richufu's words, Okamoto Shinomi was also secretly shocked inside.
One of the regiments, after succeeding in one strike, immediately handed the initiative of the battlefield over to Li Ming's regiment.
Information that a regiment of devils had appeared at the North Gate was transmitted to the command post of the 144th Division.
Okamoto Shinomi and Hori Minetaro were both stunned for a moment, but their reactions were quick.
"Our Sichuan Army has two battalions!"
"Baka yaro!"
From far away, he saw his own 23rd Regiment, and Regiment Commander Okamoto Shinomi returning.
A regiment of devils charged in from the North Gate.
Kunisaki Noboru then looked at the Communications Soldier: "Is this news true?"
"Additionally, dispatch a regiment to take over the city defense fortifications."
"Oh!" Kunisaki Noboru's eyes lit up, "Congratulations, Tani Hisao-kun."
"Should we increase our forces a bit to lighten the pressure on Zhao Gongming's unit?"
The two waved their hands repeatedly, "Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
In the urban area heading toward the Benshan Guisanlang Battalion.
Guo Xunqi looked at Yu Hua: "Brother!"
Plus the previous three battalions!
Very soon!
The Communications Soldier bowed slightly, then turned and left.
The two went together to the command post outside the city.
In Urban Warfare, they occupied an absolute advantage.
The opponent suffered one thousand casualties, and his own regiment suffered one thousand casualties.
Such high casualties immediately drew the attention of the two Regiment Commanders.
Just as Yu Hua's voice had finished falling!
A Communications Soldier came to report that a large number of devils had appeared at the South Gate, approximately one regiment.
"We failed in the battle, and Jinshan County is still in the hands of the Sichuan Army."
There were only three kilometers left to connect the north and south gates.
"In the direction of the North Gate, Zhao Gongming's unit has over a thousand men."
Likewise, the Regiment Commander of the Kunisaki Detachment also discovered that as the troops pushed deeper into the city.
Yu Hua pondered carefully for a while and decided to proceed according to the plan; the forward troops would still follow the predetermined plan.
To conduct Urban Warfare against the devils who had broken into the city area!
Just like that!
The devils who rushed into the city encountered this form of Urban Warfare for the first time.
"Yoshi!"
"In this direction of the North Gate, a regiment of devils has arrived."
Could it be that the Sichuan Army inside the city has grown three heads and six arms?
One battalion was completely annihilated, and another battalion was in danger of being completely annihilated.
During the attack on the South Gate!
Tani Hisao angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand.
The sound of gunfire inside the city had gradually ceased.
Right here!
The Sichuan Army was still using the old method.
"Currently, both sides are in a fierce battle!"
The two Regiment Commanders had come, surely to report the battle results.
The two Imperial Army regiments were only three kilometers apart.
The Communications Soldier bowed and scraped, saying, "Your Excellency Detachment Commander, Battalion Commander Yamada Kenjiro guarantees an eighty percent accuracy rate."
"Yosh!"
The 23rd Regiment, led by Regiment Commander Okamoto Shinomi, had already linked up with the Yamada Kenjiro Battalion that had successfully broken through.
The remaining men were all wiped out by the Sichuan Army.
"Immediately order the Yamada Kenjiro Battalion to enter the city at once and rescue Benshan Guisanlang."
The Sichuan Army 144th Division, the two regiments ambushing Benshan Guisanlang.
Their eyes widened, staring straight at the two Regiment Commanders.
"We possess the advantage in terrain; I believe they can hold out."
With Tani Hisao's latest order.
"How is this possible?"
He looked in the direction of Tani Hisao's gaze and also saw his own subordinate, Regiment Commander Hori Minetaro.
His Adjutant immediately stepped forward.
Quite a few of the little devils were stunned!
Furthermore, there were large quantities of automatic weapons within the Sichuan Army ranks.
Tani Hisao nodded with satisfaction; his eyesight was excellent.
"Now, the Benshan Guisanlang Battalion is also likely to be annihilated by the Sichuan Army."
"Order!"
"Hai!" Kunisaki Noboru bowed and scraped.
Battalion Commander Yamada had already been killed by a Sichuan Army Sniper!
"According to the situation at the front, the Matsushita Battalion has already been completely wiped out by the defenders."
Inside the residential houses on the street, they used Side Firepoints to ambush this battalion of devils.
They then moved toward the urban area that the Yamada Kenjiro Battalion was about to cross.
"What exactly are the Sichuan Army forces inside the city trying to play at?"
"Nani!?" Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru shouted at the same time.
"Battalion Commander Yamada reports that the two battalions entering the city have been ambushed by the Sichuan Army."
"Take Jinshan County, and I will record your first-class merit."
A smug smile also appeared on Kunisaki Noboru's face.
Of the officers remaining in the entire battalion, the highest-ranking was a Platoon Leader.
The Yamada Kenjiro Battalion at the city defense fortifications immediately moved in the direction of Benshan Guisanlang.
Now!
"Your... hard work is appreciated!"
Kunisaki Noboru waved at the Communications Soldier.
At the North Gate!
A regiment under Kunisaki Noboru's command!
Took the lead in bombarding the Sichuan Army's city defense fortifications.
Yu Hua waved his hand, "No need!"
The 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment had already suffered nearly two regiments' worth of casualties in Jinshan County.
"Now, launch an attack from the North Gate immediately as well."
The battle began at noon.
"The Imperial Army is at a disadvantage!"
The little devils had already lost over two thousand men between the northern and southern regiments.
Speaking of this, Tani Hisao looked at Kunisaki Noboru: "Kunisaki-kun, your Detachment."
Likewise, that Regiment Commander of the Kunisaki Detachment was the same.
"Kunisaki-kun!"
Because!
Is moving into the city!
Scouts estimated that the devils wanted to open up the South Gate and North Gate to split the entire Jinshan County in two.
Okamoto Shinomi lowered his head: "Your Excellency Division Commander!"
The deeper his regiment went into the city, the higher the casualty rate became.
However, Okamoto Shinomi did not dare to continue forward.
The strength of two regiments!
Seeing so many devils, Guo Xunqi gasped.
Casualties were becoming increasingly heavy; if the fighting continued, it would certainly be quite unfavorable.
After a round of intense bombardment, the Sichuan Army at the city defense fortifications retreated.
Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru both believed that the battle for Jinshan County had ended.
Just now, he had made contact with the Regiment Commander of the Kunisaki Detachment.
He led his troops and immediately withdrew from the city.
In an instant!
The several devil officers standing beside Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru also widened their eyes.
The voice of Tani Hisao fell.
Tani Hisao himself kept muttering, "Baka!"
"Now that we are fighting Urban Warfare, the main force of the little devils cannot easily deploy within the city."
"This city battle has exceeded our imagination."
"We have suffered a major defeat."
