Chapter 166 Enter the county town and charge!
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some credit.
But now it seems that his life is almost in danger, so what credit can he talk about!
Major General Hattori Naoomi's face became increasingly gloomy. Outside, there were continuous gunshots, and even the ground was shaking. It could be imagined that the north gate was suffering from a heavy bombardment.
Without time to think about it, Major General Hattori Naoomi looked grim and said in a trembling voice:
"Send an urgent telegram to Commander Yoshio Uzuka and the commander of the 36th Division immediately. The Eighth Route Army has obtained heavy artillery from somewhere. Request immediate support. Request immediate support!"
At this time, Major General Hattori Naoomi no longer cared about his previous bold words. He had originally boasted that he could hold on for twelve hours, but now the fat on his face was trembling.
Heavy artillery!
Where did the Eighth Route Army get it?
The Eighth Route Army had never used this kind of thing on the front battlefield, but they happened to encounter it this time, and it was not until more than an hour after the battle began that the Eighth Route Army used heavy artillery.
what is this!
Major General Hattori Naoomi couldn't understand what was going on. Fear and the desire to survive told him that he must ask for help from the headquarters immediately, otherwise only death would be waiting for them.
At this time,
After receiving the order from Major General Hattori Naoomi,
The puppet soldiers finally realized what was happening and hurriedly asked for support from their superiors, but no matter how fast they moved, it was too late.
Right now,
On the North Gate battlefield outside the county town, Qin Hai was personally commanding a 150mm heavy mortar, continuously and accurately delivering shells into the battlefield at the North Gate.
The city wall, which was originally nearly ten meters high, was vulnerable to heavy artillery and soon had several large holes blown out. Then, under the heavy artillery bombardment, it completely collapsed.
Looking at the dust in the distance,
The city wall, which had always been indestructible, was eventually reduced to ruins by heavy artillery.
The gap opened,
This indicated that the battle was about to come to an end. Looking at the shocking scene in the distance and listening to the deafening sound of artillery, everyone's blood was boiling, even the leaders of the visiting group were no exception.
Watching the last line of defense collapse,
The eyes of the Imperial Army who managed to survive were filled with despair. Once the Eighth Route Army came in, they would face complete death.
"Hurry, run away! The city gate has been breached, the north gate has been breached!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet!"
"Run! I haven't married yet. I can't die here today!"
"..."
The moment the city wall collapsed, the last line of defense in the hearts of the Imperial Army also collapsed.
And then,
How could they dare to approach the area covered by heavy artillery? They could only watch and listen to the charge of the Eighth Route Army outside. Every soldier of the Imperial Army dropped their weapons and ran towards the county town, wishing they could escape immediately.
“Ding ding ding!!! Ding ding ding ding!!! Ding ding ding ding ding!!!”
"..."
As the gates fell,
The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and the second battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately blew the charge. All the Eighth Route Army soldiers, filled with anger and excitement, charged towards the collapsed gap with their Garand semi-automatic rifles in hand.
"Comrades, charge!!!"
"Kill all the devils and avenge our comrades!!!"
"Damn it, let's see how these devils hide!!!"
"..."
The Eighth Route Army had been holding a grudge for a long time. These cunning puppet troops and devils hid behind the city walls, making it impossible for them to attack them. Their several charges were beaten back.
This also led to the sacrifice of many comrades. Seeing their former comrades who had fought side by side fall, they were already filled with hatred and wanted to tear these devils and the Imperial Army into pieces.
To know,
They are brothers who share life and death.
Since the establishment of the Guard Regiment, the number of casualties in all the battles, big and small, added together has never been as high as today. How can they not hate it!
As the charge began,
The Imperial Army fled in all directions, leaving only the Japanese still resisting stubbornly, trying to push back the charging Eighth Route Army.
However, these devils lost the help of the Imperial Army and were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment. It was simply a daydream for them to want to stop the frontal attack of more than 2,000 people.
In addition, the Imperial Army's desertion from the battlefield left these devils with no time to spare and they were almost chased from all sides.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Kill these devils, leave no one alive!!!"
"I have been holding my breath for a long time. Today I must make these devils pay the price!!!"
"..."
The soldiers of the Guards Regiment shouted and cursed, venting their unwillingness and anger. The sacrifice of their comrades made them hate the Japs to the core.
This time,
With powerful firepower and numerical advantage, coupled with filled with anger, these hastily assembled Japanese devils were no match for the soldiers of the Guards Regiment.
In addition, with the continuous extension of artillery fire and the support of air artillery, the Japanese were almost forced to abandon their weapons and were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
In front of the Guards,
The weapons advantage on which the Japs relied for survival was like a joke. In front of the Guards Regiment, each squadron had grenade launchers and light mortars. Under the powerful fire suppression, the Japs could only continuously shrink their defense line and retreat.
at the same time,
Soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion and the second battalion poured into Ninghai County through the blasted gap.
North Gate Battle Zone.
Completely collapse.
As the enemy, the seeds of failure were sown the moment the guard regiment broke through the last checkpoint of the Ninghai defense line.
There was a rumble of artillery fire in the city.
Various gunshots rang out like thunder, and the enemies roared unwillingly, even fantasizing about using suicide attacks to stop the Eighth Route Army, but this was nothing but a daydream.
The enemies, with bombs strapped to their bodies, were turned into a hornet's nest by the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army before they even got close.
"Brothers, be careful, these enemies are crazy, don't be careless and lose your life!"
"If you see the enemy, kill them without mercy!!!" Xu Wudi, who was leading the charge, immediately and seriously warned all the commanders.
Especially when he saw that the enemy actually launched a suicide attack, he became even more vigilant.
There were explosives strapped to his body.
If it explodes at close range, even if you are not killed by the horrific explosion, you will be injured by the flying fragments. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, you must be extra careful.
We must not be lenient when dealing with these enemies.
"Yes!"
All the commanders of the Guards Regiment responded in unison, and they all understood what the Second Battalion Commander meant. While advancing, they threw a few grenades whenever they saw the enemy or any corner where the enemy was suspected to be hiding.
In this situation,
Even if the enemy attempted to slow down the Eighth Route Army with suicide attacks, it would be a daydream. They would be reduced to corpses before they even got close to the Eighth Route Army.
"Second Company, follow me!"
"The first company will sweep along the wall towards the west gate!" Xu Wudi quickly gave the order and urgently allocated the battle plan.
As for the reconnaissance battalion, it was responsible for expanding to the middle and two sides, while cooperating with the third and fourth battalions at the north and south gates to encircle and help the main force of the guard regiments at the two side gates enter the city.
