The devil commander originally wanted to gather troops and reorganize his forces to continue the attack, but so many incendiary bombs exploded on the ground, the devil troops were in chaos, and the devil soldiers did not obey the command orders at all.
"Baga, it's an incendiary bomb, run, run!!!"
Hundreds of little devils fled in all directions under the flames of the explosion. The devil soldiers even lost their weapons in order to escape for their lives, and they were completely defeated.
The front of the third battalion's position became a sea of flames, the hot flames spread everywhere, and the scorched earth was burned white, and there were little devils struggling in the sea of flames everywhere on the position.
These little devils trapped in the sea of fire died miserably. They were burned to death alive by the fire, and the heart-piercing screams could be heard endlessly.
The attacking devil troops were hit by the rocket artillery, and the suppressed enemy could not launch an effective offensive at all.
The shelling continued for a while, and the devil's offensive formation was broken up, and the devil commander had no choice but to order a retreat.
After the devils withdrew, the artillerymen of the security regiment fired a row of smoke bombs.
A large number of smoke bombs fell on the ground, forming layers of smoke curtain walls. The smoke mixed with the flames and turned into choking smoke.
Looking at the entire south of the city, it was completely covered by a sea of smoke, and apart from smoke and dazzling flames, nothing could be seen clearly.
Li Hong glanced at the position surrounded by flames, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the battlefield.
There were not a few little devils who died under the artillery fire just now. At this moment, the south of the city is full of raging flames, and the enemy will definitely not be able to attack again in a short time.
The devils were unable to attack, and the soldiers of the third battalion who had withdrawn into the city just had enough time to deploy their defenses in the city.
The soldiers of the third battalion boarded the tower in the south of the city one after another, and quickly established a firepower point according to the fortifications of the tower.
Back in the city, Li Hong observed the other devil troops attacking on both sides.
The devil's main attacking force was defeated, and the devil's troops that supported the attack from the north and east of the city also retreated successively.
Afterwards, Li Hong returned to the headquarters and asked about the casualties of each battalion, redeployed troops, and deployed defenses.
This time, the attacking troops of the Devil's two divisions were completely hurt. The Devil's attacking troops were repeatedly defeated, and they were still unable to capture an inch of the frontline troops outside the security regiment.
After the fierce fighting that day, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army suffered nearly 2500 casualties, and the 14th Division suffered nearly 2000 casualties.
Although the loss of this little manpower is not painful for the Devil Division, and it will not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the division, but this battle completely shamed the 9th Division and the 14th Division, and labeled it as a "defeated army". Label……
As the sky darkened, the soldiers of the security regiment moved out of the city with the wounded and the residents in accordance with Li Hong's order.
Apart from being concerned about the war, Li Hong was most worried about the evacuation of the wounded and the common people.
After dinner, he took the communication team and guards and walked on the streets of the city, carefully inspecting the evacuation of the people in the city.
As the night fell, the residents of the city moved out of the city in groups, carrying large and small packages, pushing wheelbarrows, and harnessing carriages.
Li Hong inspected the civilians who were transferred out of the city, and then asked Ma Shangfeng who was in charge of the transfer.
"How many civilians in the city have not been transferred out of the city? Can they all be transferred out tonight?"
Without hesitation, Ma Shangfeng replied affirmatively: "The report group, as long as there are no accidents tonight, all the people in the city can be completely evacuated out of the city!"
After listening to the report, Li Hong nodded, and then said: "Remember, give more dry food to the transferred civilians. In the era of war and chaos, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food and drink."
"Yes, group seat!"
Ma Shangfeng saluted, and immediately went to arrange the instructions given by Li Hong.
Chapter 525
Update the latest chapter with a system to fight devils as soon as possible!
Ma Shangfeng, commander of the cavalry battalion, quickly conveyed Li Hong's instructions.
The logistics troops of the cavalry battalion, as well as various cooking squads, separately added a lot of rice and food to the civilians, and even handed out a can of food.
In the era of raging wars, most of China was fighting everywhere, and all kinds of supplies were scarce. It can be said that the people were in dire straits.
The common people are in dire straits, even if they have money, they may not have a place to buy rice and food.
Li Hong ordered the troops to distribute food to the people, which was quite the right choice.
Of course, there are thousands of civilians. Even if each person is distributed a catty of food, it is a huge consumption of several thousand catties.
The security regiment has been able to win many battles, nature and strong logistics are inseparable. The security regiment not only has sufficient ammunition, but also has sufficient food.
The security regiment's food reserves were enough for a regular army to consume tens of thousands of people, and the food distributed to civilians did not affect the security regiment at all.
According to the evacuation speed of the civilians and the wounded, everyone in the city can be transferred tonight.
As long as the security team has no scruples, they can fight the little devil hard, and it will be more conducive to the breakout operation behind the security team.
However, Li Hong did not relax because of this. On the contrary, he was more careful about any military actions that the little devil might have tonight.
The little devil has suffered a lot during the day, and the enemy is likely to launch a night attack at night.
Thinking of this, in order to prevent the devils from attacking at night, Li Hong immediately called the communication soldiers to inform the battalions to be on guard.
After the troops guarding outside the city received the order, the soldiers loaded all their bullets and stood firm with wide-eyed eyes.
Not only that, the soldiers outside the city also planted a large number of mines at the front of the position.
……
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Japanese 3rd Division, 5th Division, and 10th Division rushed to the outside of Xuzhou City one after another.
The devil troops were all assembled [-] kilometers outside the city. Counting the three divisions of the Japanese army that had just arrived, there were already five divisions of the Japanese army surrounding the city of Xuzhou.
These five divisions of the Japanese army are all Type A divisions, and the total number of devils has reached [-].
The Japanese troops mentioned above have all fought against the security regiment. Without exception, the five devil divisions were all defeated by Li Hong's subordinates.
Moreover, the former head of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army was killed by Li Hong himself.
Yoshino Taro, head of the Devil's 9th Division, heard the news of the arrival of other divisions, and he hurriedly invited old devil Doi Yuan to the headquarters to discuss the military situation together.
Yoshino Taro was not happy with the arrival of so many reinforcements, on the contrary, he had a sad look on his face.
If Xuzhou City can be captured, it will undoubtedly be the first-class contribution to the Imperial Japanese Army.
If he can take this opportunity to completely annihilate the security group to prevent future troubles, then this will be an immortal achievement, and he will become a hero of the Great Japan and receive the supreme glory reward.
Yoshino Taro has always wanted to take an opportunity to become famous in one battle. Once other devil divisions come, maybe the immortality will be seized by other divisions. That's why his face is so anxious and ugly.
As soon as Doi Madoka entered the headquarters, Yoshino Taro walked over quickly and said: "Doihara-kun, the 3rd, 5th, 10th, and other master groups have gathered in the Xuzhou area..."
Maru Dohi glanced at Taro Yoshino with an eager expression. Through the expression on the other side, Maru Dohi, a spy chief who is good at observing words and emotions, immediately understood what Taro Yoshino was worried about.
