With the main force of the 51st Army who was cooperating with combat, under the cover of the artillery of the task force, he successfully broke through the defensive positions arranged by the Japanese army. The task force, which was supposed to be the protagonist, did not participate in this position attack and defense this time.

According to Hu Biao's combat deployment, he arrived at the main force of the 51st Army in the offensive position one after another, and began to successfully break into the town from the front and flanks of the town. Even though the battle continued, Hu Biao and Yu Xuezhong were both relaxed.

Seeing that the two main groups of the 51st Army had successfully rushed into the town, Hu Biao immediately called Lei Xiong and said, "Lao Lei, you will lead the reserve company and the prisoner-of-war camp, and immediately rushed to the ambush site and rush to support Lao Qin in front of the Japanese!"

"Yes, captain!"

"Tell Lao Qin that there is no need to force it. If you really can't stop it, let the Japanese escape. Since our detachment entered Anhui Province, there have been quite a lot of casualties. Even if we want to chase and kill the Japanese, we will leave it to the people of the 51st Army.

What you have to do next is to kill as many Japanese devils as possible. Lao Xu and I will stay in the town for a while later to see if we can make some things. Otherwise, we will do a loss-making business again in this battle."

"clear!"

Considering that Qin Tianyou had only one task force, Hu Biao was worried that the Japanese who could not resist the rush to jump over the wall. While the Japanese had not yet broken through, they sent Lei Xiong and the prisoner-of-war camp who had no need to participate in the war to provide reinforcements.

As for the remaining encirclement and suppression battles, Hu Biao believes that the 51st Army should be able to conquer. If even such a one-sided battle cannot be defeated by the 51st Army, then Hu Biao really has to consider it and will not cooperate with the anti-Japanese war forces in the future.

After transferring the reserve company commanded by Lei Xiong and the prisoner-of-war camp, Hu Biao asked the artillery to pack up the artillery. The artillery detachment that was previously responsible for harassing cooperated with the offensive forces of the 51st Army to clear offensive obstacles for the 51st Army.

Mountain artillery and heavy artillery basically lost its function as the 51st Army entered the town. The artillery was exhausted and panting. Now, while the battle was not over, the artillery rested and saw how the infantry attacked.

Seeing Yu Xuezhong who was eager to try, Hu Biao, who also didn't want to stay behind, also smiled and said, "Brother, how about we go to the town? By the way, what will happen to our final result in this battle?"

"Okay! Then let's go!"

With the guard battalion that always accompanied him, Yu Xuezhong followed Hu Biao and the guard platoon of the task force and stepped into the town where the smoke had not dissipated. He also saw countless Japanese devils who were beaten and bombed in defensive positions. These corpses were undoubtedly the result of the battle.

Although there was still a firefight in front of him, Yu Xuezhong sighed and said, "Brother, I am really convinced in this battle! I heard that you were in Shucheng and wiped out an infantry brigade of the Japanese devils, but I didn't think it was very credible.

Now when I think about it, I really don’t know the masters. It’s a big problem for the Japanese to meet you. With this victory, my brother’s army should have a better life in the future. I will remember this love forever!”

"It's all the anti-Japanese war and fighting against the Japanese, and fighting side by side is also the duty! But there is one thing, I hope my brother will pay more attention. I will not take the credit for this battle. For the outside world, this credit should be counted on you.

When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will inevitably launch a more brutal and fierce attack and revenge. If the brother doesn't want to suffer too much, he must prepare early after he goes back. As for me, he will be ready to leave Anhui Province after the battle!"

"Brother, where are you going next?"

"I haven't thought it through yet! Let's leave first, there are Japanese devils there, so I should go there!"

Even if he has decided to go to the Yellow River Flood Zone to inspect the troops and pick some good soldiers to expand the team, Hu Biao will still not reveal his next direction. It is not that he does not believe in Yu Xuezhong, but that he does not want others to know his whereabouts in advance.

Although most of the places Hu Biao went to were controlled by the Kuomintang army, who could guarantee that no one would have any idea of ​​Hu Biao in the rear? Who knows whether the Japanese Special High School will organize assassination and ambush at that time?

Being careful in everything is not a bad thing after all!

The front and flank defenses were lost, and Hu Biao's artillery troops were bombarded unreasonably. The Japanese army, which had not built too many fortifications, soon fell into a dangerous situation of being surrounded by two sides.

Looking at the defensive front that was constantly being broken through, Ogisu Ribbing, who had previously hid in a private cellar, dared to come out after the shelling was completely stopped. After listening to the report, Ogisu Ribbing immediately realized that they could not defend this small town.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Order the front line to block the troops and block them at all costs. Gather the remaining troops and prepare to retreat!"

Faced with the attacking troops that the 51st Army has been continuously invested, the Japanese defensive forces are short of. If they do not defend, they will be broken through by the 51st Army. If they defend, they will need to continue to invest in the troops. Most of the troops that are invested will go without returning.

If Ogisu Rikeng did not want to be arrested alive, he could only choose to lead the remaining troops to break through. At least from the current situation, no attacking troops were found when they retreated to Luzhou. I think it should be safe.

Secondly, the 13th Division also has a chariot squadron, which has never been willing to use before. The reason why they dare not use it is more to prepare for breaking through and evacuate. While the offensive troops have not yet arrived, Ogisu's troops must seize the time to evacuate.

The rear of the town that was still controlled by the Japanese army was actually lurking with scouts from the task force. However, when the fire was exchanged, these scouts never moved. The purpose was to monitor the movements of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the Japanese finally began to retreat, the reconnaissance team lurking in the dark immediately said: "Send a report to the Second Squadron immediately to inform the Qin Squadron that the Japanese will start running away! Special reminder, the Japanese still have several armored tanks!"

The Japanese division stationed in the town also had a chariot squadron, which had been discovered by the reconnaissance troops earlier. Before the artillery battle started, Hu Biao also took special precautions and set up several machine guns outside the town.

Unexpectedly, when the artillery battle ended, the Japanese still did not send out this chariot unit. Now, seeing the Japanese breaking through under the cover of the chariot, Hu Biao didn't feel any surprise. After leaving the town, the chariot might not work!

After receiving a telegram from the scout team, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Brother, you can order the entire line to attack! The Japanese have already started to retreat from the back of the town. The remaining Japanese are probably completely abandoned!"

"Okay! The communication officer, shoot three signal flares and notify the entire army to launch a general attack!"

The main group responsible for restraining the Japanese periphery guards earlier won victories shortly after the artillery battle in the town. Most of the Japanese squadrons responsible for the external defense were wiped out.

These reinforcements who arrived had been staying outside the town for a while. Now, seeing the signal flares rising up, the combat troops that had just won a small victory immediately rushed towards the town and began to encircle and suppress the surviving Japanese devils in the town.

Hayasu, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, listened to the staff officer's report and said bitterly: "Baga! We have completely failed in this battle! As the division commander, I feel ashamed of the division's warriors!"

"General, I believe that the warriors will not blame you. The defeat in this battle is not all the responsibility of the general. After all, we still suffered the losses of that mysterious unit. When we break out, we will have a chance to avenge the warriors!"

Having said that, the Japanese commanders who embarked on the road to break through felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if they could successfully break through and successfully join the reinforcements sent by Luzhou, the 13th Division must retreat to the rear and rest.

The reason is very simple. In addition to the infantry corps sent to take over Luzhou City earlier, the troops that the 13th Division broke through are probably less than one corps. This also means that the 13th Division was destroyed.

Even if the division number can be retained, Ogisu Rising will face the punishment of being dismissed or transferred from the division. When the subsequent recruits come in, it will probably take a long time for the 13th Division to recover to the previous one.

Not long after the evacuation of the town, the 51st Army that had encircled the encirclement finally blocked the Japanese's retreat passage. The Japanese who had not yet withdrawn from the town were undoubtedly completely surrounded, and the only way to be shot dead when they were waiting for their end.

As for the Japanese who successfully fled the town, Hu Biao has ordered the reconnaissance team and the guards to follow and pursue. When the battle in the town is over, the 51st Army will also draw more troops to chase and kill the Japanese who fled.

Looking at the attacking troops following the pursuit, the fleeing Ogisu Ritsu quickly said: "Transfer two combat vehicles and an infantry squadron to find a suitable blocking location to gain more time for the division to break through."

"Hi!"

Knowing that pursuing soldiers are hanging behind him will cause great trouble for the troops to break through. When there is no way, Ogisu's army can only choose to draw a small number of troops to cut off the troops, and gain valuable time for the remaining large troops to evacuate.

When Xu Hu led the guard regiment to the road blocking section, the reconnaissance team responsible for guiding the road quickly said, "Captain Xu, take a break! The Japanese arranged two armored vehicles and the troops in front, which was not easy to deal with!"

"What's wrong? Do you watch the Japanese escape?"

"Don't worry! I brought four mortars here and killed the Japanese armored vehicles first. As for those escaping Japanese, they couldn't escape in a short time. Our main force had already set up an ambush there!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Hu was also happy and said, "Did you have expected it long ago?"

"It should be! This is also a precaution! Let's fight with these Japanese devils first to make the escaped Japanese devils a little happy. When they enter the ambush circle, they probably won't be happy!"

After laughing, the reconnaissance team responsible for guiding the way quickly set up the mortar he was carrying. An Japanese man who was originally preparing to attack the pursuit army was caught off guard. Seeing that the pursuit army did not attack, he seemed somewhat surprised.

When the mortar sounded again, the Japanese who were responsible for driving the armored vehicles also realized that the armored vehicles they were on could not ensure their safety. When they were caught with a shell, they would probably be reimbursed!
