"Report, report to the Prince, the Imperial Army can no longer hold back. The Dragon Boat Festival was ready. After opening the city gate, the vanguard took the lead in seizing the city gate, and then the cavalry advanced, and the defense line of the south city disappeared in an instant."

The Japanese soldiers came to report, and at this time, Kitashirakawa Sei was so angry that her entire facial expression became distorted.

"Baga, all of them are all bullish."

Kitashirakawa Sei was furious, and at this time, none of the Japanese standing in his office dared to speak out.

Because everyone knows the consequences of this Prince of Beibai after he gets angry.

But at this time, Taro Aso was still calm and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior, if you want to stabilize the situation of the battle, you must keep the defense line in the middle from being broken by the enemy. Transfer the forces of the two brigades of the east and west to the city to deploy defenses, place a horse on the street to prevent the enemy's cavalry from advancing, and then stabilize the current situation."

Kitashirakawa Sei felt it made sense and ordered: "Don't you do it?"

"Hi!"

Several Japanese staff officers, including Captain Ito, immediately responded and quickly sent an order to set up defense.

The two Japanese brigades moved quickly from east to west to the city, while the original Japanese sentries, etc., placed horses or some larger debris on the street to block the cavalry's charge.

The Japanese who came to support removed the door panels, strengthened the original fortifications, and built three lines of defense in front and back to block the cavalry's attack.

But the Japanese were busy for a long time, but the cavalry of the Independent Regiment did not rush over again.

It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has already made arrangements for this.

Because just imagine, the cavalry attacks by surprise and rapid raids. Once the enemy is prepared, the cavalry will be living targets under the thermal weapon machine gun.

And this is also why cavalry gradually withdrew from the historical stage in modern times.

But everything is absolutely absolute. Although the cavalry was weakened after the appearance of thermal weapons, especially the appearance of the Maxim machine gun, the cavalry was greatly weakened, but in the rapid raid, the cavalry was still a nightmare for infantry.

Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival took advantage of the fast cavalry speed. After the South City Gate was broken, the cavalry directly entered, smashing the defense line of the Japanese Nancheng, and then chasing the defeated soldiers in the Nancheng everywhere. As for the Japanese's middle road, the impact only increased casualties. Dragon Boat Festival was not so stupid, which made the cavalry team he had finally trained to save his life.

"Run!"

"Don't kill me,...ah!"

The Japanese in Nancheng were still desperately trying to escape, but in front of the cavalry, they were just grass mustard.

One by one, the Japanese were cut off their heads, but the Japanese in the distance could only watch this scene.

At this time, no one dared to run to Nancheng to save people, because just as the cavalry were chasing the Japanese in Nancheng, a sea of ​​fire swept across most of Nancheng in the next second.

Wang Tong and Lu Jian rushed in with their men. Except for some of them, they surrounded the Japanese in Nancheng with their cavalry, the rest of the troops quickly occupied the entire Nancheng. Wang Tong rushed up directly with his regiment and hit the Japanese's middle troops head-on.

There was nothing to say between the two sides, so they started fighting directly. There were at least five or six positions in the narrow and narrow streets in the city center.

In addition to occupying and consolidating the commanding heights of the southern city, Lu Jian's two regiments detoured from the east and the other attacked from the west, trying to break through the Japanese defense line and force the Japanese to continue to retreat with the trend of attacking from three sides.

Once the Japanese retreat, they will win a complete victory in this battle tonight.

However, after the Japanese suffered a series of surprise attacks, they gradually stabilized their positions. The Japanese defense line in the middle of the city was strong, just like a sea-stabilizing needle. And the Japanese transferred the artillery to suppress Wang Tong's troops and firepowered them.

Wang Tong launched the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon to fight back. After the fierce gun battle, the two sides launched another artillery battle.

The positions of the Japanese in the city could not be taken down in a short period of time, and Lu Jian's left and right armies were also blocked.

The Japanese's resistance was very tenacious, and the counterattack and surprise attack also made the Sichuan army very passive.

What's more, the Japanese on the city wall have not been defeated. Although the Dragon Boat Festival opened Chen Shusheng's machine gun company and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese along the city wall, the Japanese on the city wall hid in the fortifications and fought tenaciously.

Obviously, the Japanese also knew the importance of the commanding heights of the city wall to them.

The Japanese continued to rescue them. Although there were heavy casualties under the fierce machine guns of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese continued to reinforce the city walls.

The war on the city wall gradually became anxious. The Dragon Boat Festival led the people to attack several times, but still failed to take it down.

The Japanese hid behind a bunker made of sandbags, and even machine guns could not penetrate the Japanese bunker.

The Japanese stabilized their positions and blocked the city wall with grenades and grenade launchers, making it impossible for the machine gun company to break through.

After the other Japanese soldiers were stable, they supported the Japanese soldiers under the city.

So Lu Jian's Sichuan Army launched several charges and was defeated.

Lu Jian was very angry and was about to order the troops to continue to organize the suicide squad to charge, but at this moment, the Dragon Boat Festival order came down, asking them to stop attacking immediately and turn to a defensive state.

The same was true for Wang Tong's regiment. The troops quickly withdrew from the front line of battle, which made the Japanese devils confused. It was like a surging flood, and everyone mobilized to fight the flood on the embankment. But at this moment, the originally surging flood suddenly disappeared.

Of course, the flood did not really disappear because the battle with the Japanese on the city wall continued.

It turned out that the Dragon Boat Festival was discovered. If the Japanese on the city wall were not resolved, the street fighting in Bengbu City would be very unfavorable to them.

It is night now, and the Japanese's vision is limited. Once it reaches daylight, the Japanese on the West City Wall and the East City Wall will shoot at the soldiers within their range. In this way, the soldiers will not only suffer a lot of casualties, but also have limited range of movement.

So Dragon Boat Festival immediately withdrew all troops and temporarily stopped the frontal attack.

But stopping the offense does not mean that Dragon Boat Festival is going to really retreat. In addition to the battle on the city walls still continuing, the frontal defense is still there.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers saw the Chinese army retreat and launched a tentative attack, but before they could break through two hundred meters, they encountered cross firepower from both directions.

The Japanese retreated immediately, but even so, more than thirty corpses were left on the ground.

Since then, the Japanese no longer dared to advance. They all hurried behind the main defense line in the city, hoping to start a street battle in the city with Dragon Boat Festival.

This is not good news for Dragon Boat Festival. The Japanese stabilized the situation. If Dragon Boat Festival did not make a big breakthrough, they would be very passive. Because of the troops of Bengbu, Dragon Boat Festival did not have an advantage, and he had just received news from the 51st Army that a team of Japanese soldiers had at least one corps. They penetrated from the back of the 114th Division to the east of Bengbu. Commander Yu suspected that he was heading for the defense zone of the 113th Division.
