Chapter 203 Street Fighting and Shooting
When Saburo Nakano heard what the chief of staff said, his face suddenly changed with fear. The Eighth Route Army actually chose today to attack the city. It turned out that they had been fooling them in the past few days.
These Eighth Route Army soldiers are so cunning!
"idiot!"
"Pass my order quickly. Soldiers in the city should gather at the headquarters and form a defense line along the buildings."
"Hai."
After receiving the order, the Japanese chief of staff turned around and ran out of the command center.
Saburo Nakano listened to the crackling sound of gunfire outside, and he knew clearly in his mind that if the less than 2,000 people of the 9th Brigade in the city were not gathered together, Yangquan would definitely not be able to be defended.
It’s useless whether we recapture the city wall or not. Now we can only withdraw the troops to defend the city and fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army.
Following an order from Saburo Nakano, the Japanese troops that were originally going to support the city gate all ran towards the headquarters. They were going to fight a street battle with the Eighth Route Army in the streets around the headquarters.
There are plenty of supplies in Yangquan City, so they don't have to worry about running out of weapons and ammunition.
Countless Japanese soldiers set up defenses and transported weapons and ammunition in the streets around the headquarters. Box after box of ammunition was carried from the warehouse to the defense lines.
Except for some Japanese soldiers who set up defense lines on the street, other Japanese soldiers hid in the houses on both sides of the street, ready to shoot the attacking soldiers of the independent brigade.
Saburo Nakano stood outside the headquarters, looked around at the surrounding arrangements, and sneered.
"Yoshi, the Eighth Route Army has no chance of taking Yangquan. The warriors of the Empire will make the attacking Eighth Route Army pay a heavy price."
The chief of staff next to him agreed: "Your Excellency, the brave warriors of the Empire will surely repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army."
the other side.
After the regiments of the independent brigade successfully occupied the city wall, they immediately headed towards the city without stopping.
However, the soldiers were surprised to find that they did not encounter any Japanese devils along the way.
This situation has aroused everyone's confusion and vigilance.
"Comrade, have you seen the Japanese when you came over there?" asked a soldier.
"We didn't see any Japanese soldiers. I wonder where they are hiding?" another soldier replied.
"This is strange, could it be that the Japanese have all run to the city center?" someone speculated.
The soldiers moved towards the city center cautiously and with suspicion.
At this time, the city of Yangquan was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy, and every street was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The soldiers did not dare to be careless, for fear that a Japanese soldier would suddenly jump out from some corner.
As the regiments of the independent brigade gradually approached the city center, the soldiers became more cautious, because they knew that the Japanese were very likely to have retreated here and prepared for a final resistance.
Zhang Dabiao, the head of the First Regiment, shouted to the communicator beside him: "Communicator, send a telegram to the brigade commander immediately. The First Regiment has entered Yangquan City. No resistance troops of the devils have been found on the streets of the city for the time being..."
The messenger immediately passed the news to the brigade headquarters outside the city.
...........
Temporary command post of the independent brigade outside Yangquan City.
Li Yunlong used a telescope to see that the soldiers had already rushed into Yangquan City, and he shouted happily.
"Haha, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade are awesome! They conquered the city wall so quickly!"
Zhao Gang at the side could not help but sigh: "Brigade Commander, this siege was so smooth! This may be the easiest siege in the history of our Eighth Route Army. It was simply unstoppable!"
Li Yunlong laughed triumphantly, patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and said, "Political Commissar, I told you a long time ago that the Japanese Ninth Brigade must not have many people in the city, otherwise how could they give up the city wall so easily?"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's smug look, shook his head helplessly, and smiled without saying a word.
At this moment, a communicator in the headquarters suddenly stood up and reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the brigade commander, the commander of the first regiment called."
"read."
"The soldiers of the First Regiment have successfully entered Yangquan City and are advancing towards the city center. However, they did not encounter any Japanese resistance troops along the way. The situation is extremely strange."
Hearing the news, Li Yunlong frowned and fell into deep thought.
I muttered to myself, "Where are all these little devils hiding?"
Zhao Gang next to him thought for a moment and then replied: "Brigade Commander, the Japanese defenders in the city are very likely to play tricks on us. They must be hiding..."
Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "The Japanese must have had this idea."
He turned to the communicator and said, "Communicator, immediately contact the attacking troops in front and tell them to pay attention to the Japanese in the city for their dirty tricks."
at the same time.
The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade slowly entered the city from the city gate and headed towards the city center.
A young soldier looked around vigilantly and whispered to the squad leader beside him: "Squad leader, I always feel like someone is secretly watching us."
The squad leader nodded slightly to show his agreement, and whispered: "The Japanese may be hiding in these houses, everyone must be careful!"
At this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of intensive gunfire from the houses on both sides of the street, and bullets poured towards the independent brigade soldiers on the street.
"Da da da……"
"Bang bang bang..."
The soldiers walking in front of the team had no time to dodge and were shot and fell to the ground one after another, with their blood staining the ground red.
When the other soldiers heard the gunshots, they reacted instantly and rushed to the nearby bunkers as quickly as possible to find a safe hiding place.
"There are devils in the house, don't run around on the street!"
"The Japs are upstairs, concentrate your firepower to destroy them!"
The soldiers quickly adjusted their tactics, raised their guns, and opened fire at the houses on both sides of the street.
For a moment, flames flickered, smoke filled the air, and the sound of fierce fighting resounded throughout the city.
At the same time, intensive gunfire and explosions were heard in other locations in the city center, and the streets fell into chaos.
The Japanese soldiers took advantage of the favorable terrain, hid in the buildings on the street, and fired crazily at the attacking soldiers of the independent brigade.
Bullets whizzed past, soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and blood dyed the streets red.
Zhang Dabiao watched helplessly as a group of soldiers fell one after another on the road to charge, and endless anger burned in his heart.
His eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he roared, "Tannd little Japs, you actually played dirty tricks on me! You like to shoot from behind, don't you? I'll show you what it's like to be mowed down by a rocket launcher!"
He turned around and shouted to the communicator beside him: "Communicator, contact the artillery regiment outside the city immediately and tell them to concentrate their firepower on the Japanese headquarters. I'm going to blow these Japanese into pieces!"
The communicator did not dare to delay at all and quickly picked up the communication equipment to contact the artillery position outside the city.
...........
The position of the 2nd Artillery Regiment.
After receiving the telegram from the city, the correspondent immediately turned around and reported to Wang Chengzhu behind him:
"Report to the regiment commander, the commander of the first regiment called! Requesting the rocket launchers to carry out concentrated fire strikes on the enemy headquarters in the city!"
After saying this, he respectfully handed the telegram to Wang Chengzhu.
Wang Chengzhu quickly took the telegram from the communicator and carefully checked the coordinate information.
After confirming that everything was correct, he turned to the messenger beside him and ordered, "Messenger, give these coordinates to the rocket artillery battalion and have them attack the enemy headquarters immediately!"
"Yes, leader!"
The messenger took the telegram from Wang Chengzhu and rushed towards the rocket artillery battalion position outside without stopping.
Just five minutes.
The rocket artillery battalion's twenty 107 rocket launchers have all completed loading.
With an order, twenty twelve-tube 107 rocket launchers were ignited at the same time, and flames shot up into the sky, as if dragons of fire were rising into the sky.
The huge roar was deafening and echoed throughout the artillery position.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Rockets whizzed out and flew towards the Japanese headquarters in the city.
