Chapter 1896 Recapture of Yushan County
The besieged Japanese troops were bombarded by their own artillery, and the Japanese commander immediately realized that their artillery positions had been captured by the devilish troops.
He immediately urged the Japanese troops on the perimeter to intensify their attack and recapture the artillery positions as soon as possible.
Seeing that the Japanese troops outside the encirclement were moving towards the artillery positions, the Third Regiment Commander immediately ordered a company from the Fourth Regiment to rush over and attack the Japanese troops who were returning to reinforce the artillery positions, thus slowing down their return.
He also ordered the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments to intensify their offensive, eliminate the Japanese troops in the encirclement as soon as possible, and return to reinforce the Fourth Battalion's artillery positions.
Bullets from the Third and Fourth Regiments flew like locusts towards the Japanese troops in the encirclement.
The rocket troops of the Third and Fourth Regiments continuously bombarded the Japanese troops in the encirclement.
Under the fierce firepower of the 3rd and 4th Regiments, the Japanese troops in the encirclement had their defenses breached in many places.
Seeing this, the third regimental commander launched a general offensive against the Japanese troops in the encirclement.
The shouts of soldiers from the Third and Fourth Regiments came from all directions.
After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, all the Japanese troops in the encirclement were wiped out by the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments.
The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments did not have time to clean up the battlefield, and immediately launched a counter-encirclement against the Japanese troops who were trying to flank the Fourth Battalion.
The Japanese commander saw that the surrounded Japanese troops had all been killed, and the devilish troops had pressed forward in full force, making it difficult to recapture the artillery positions.
To avoid repeating the mistake of being surrounded by the Japanese army, he ordered the entire army to retreat.
The crisis for the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment was averted. The rest of the 3rd and 4th Regiments continued to pursue the Japanese troops who were retreating to Yushan County.
Once they recovered, the artillerymen of the Fourth Battalion immediately used Japanese artillery to bombard the retreating Japanese troops.
Under the intense bombardment of the Fourth Battalion's artillery, the retreating Japanese troops quickly turned into a rout.
The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments pursued the fleeing Japanese troops all the way to the gate of Yushan County before stopping.
After lunch, the artillery of the Third Regiment launched a fierce bombardment of the city wall fortifications of Yushan County using Japanese artillery.
The air force of the First Army also came to join in the fun and destroyed all the Japanese city wall fortifications in Yushan County.
The air force of the First Army also launched a fierce bombing raid on what appeared to be a Japanese command post in Yushan County.
In order to prevent the devilish troops from Jiangxi from entering Zhejiang, the Japanese army in Zhejiang dispatched troops from Changshan County, Jiangshan County and other places to reinforce them.
The movements of the Japanese reinforcements in Zhejiang were discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the First Army. They quickly called in fighter planes and bombers to come and launch a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese reinforcements who were marching rapidly toward Yushan County.
The reinforcements from the Japanese forces in Zhejiang were blocked by the First Army Air Force, but they still managed to reinforce Yushan County along both sides of the small road while avoiding air raids.
Upon hearing the roar of airplanes and explosions coming from the direction of Zhejiang, the Third Regiment Commander knew that the Japanese troops in Zhejiang had been mobilized to reinforce Yushan County. He ordered the artillery to bombard the Japanese fortifications on the city wall of Yushan County even more fiercely.
The soldiers approached Yushan County even before the shelling had stopped.
As soon as the shelling stopped, the soldiers launched a fierce attack on Yushan County.
After a fierce battle, soldiers from the Third and Fourth Regiments stormed into Yushan County through the collapsed city walls and destroyed city gates.
The Japanese troops in Yushan County took turns covering the retreat into the interior, attempting to build a defensive line in the city and fight street battles with the devilish troops.
Soldiers from the Third and Fourth Regiments pursued them closely, giving them no chance to catch their breath.
By nightfall, all the Japanese troops in Yushan County had been driven out of the county.
The third regimental commander recaptured Yushan County, an important city bordering Zhejiang.
