Chapter 397
The gunshots rang all night.
It was planned to take down the battle in Qi County before dawn. For some reason, the ones in the city became a position station, and the ones outside the city became a tough battle.
The spy commander punched the wall. What are you waiting for? Then continue to fight: "Let's fire! Commander of the Third Battalion, blow up the Iron King Sanba for me!
The Japanese tanks penetrated into the street. After a fire of machine guns, two more soldiers were penetrated and fell into a pool of blood. The soldiers nearby who had just replenished the service team were trembling.
In an instant, the gunshots crackled into a large area, and machine guns from the Japanese winged houses also joined in, and a barrage rushed towards the crowd of eight people rushing out of the cover.
The Japanese behind the tank were all experienced many battles, and their advantages were obvious. The spears and the shooting accuracy were high. Perhaps, in less than a minute, the Eighth Route Army that rushed out from both sides of the street fell to the ground without exception.
The weapons were not as good as the Japanese. Relying on their weak terrain advantages, they hid among the broken brick walls on both sides of the street, and kept firing at the iron turtle rushing towards the street. Although the bullets were all eye-catching, they were completely obsessed.
Countless anticipated eyes, looking at the thrown grenade, were finally pressed under the tracks of the Japanese tank, and then exploded with a loud bang.
However, the happy heart suddenly became cold. The iron turtle was still moving forward, and the front machine gun was still spewing out the flames.
The Eighth Route Army also has its own strengths. When the Japanese intensive bullets came, the soldiers hidden on both sides quickly lay on the ground, lowered their heads, and avoided them.
The Japanese suppressed the fierce firepower of the Japanese, wiped out the Eighth Route Army that rushed to the streets, and the Eighth Route Army that hid on both sides of the streets, with not much casualties.
The tank roared and rushed forward directly on the street, and the Japanese heavy machine guns fired wildly. Unfortunately, the shooting range of the tank machine gun was not wide, and the Japanese infantry following behind continued to shoot, making up for the dead spots of the tank machine gun shooting.
If the iron turtle cannot be beaten, then I will fight the infantry behind.
No matter how fast the Eighth Route Army reacted, it still suffered heavy losses under the suppression of intensive firepower.
Both sides were red in their eyes, and the soldiers hiding in the house and the Japanese infantry following behind the tanks started fighting to fight the house and fight.
Three tanks roared on the three streets, gushing bullets into suspicious places, killing and looting on the road full of ruins.
In complex environments, human legs are of course more flexible than crawlers and have no heavy weapons. In the battle between infantry and tanks of the Eighth Route Army Special Forces Regiment, they are not only frustrated but also frustrated.
The commander glared at him, but there was no way. The secret service regiment was well trained and still defeated in the face of powerful firepower.
The Japanese had enough troops. In addition to fighting the Eighth Route Army outside the city, they were freeing up their hands to eliminate the resisters in the city, and they were invincible all the way.
The Japanese lowered their heads and trotted behind the tanks, holding their guns and attacking the broken layers on both sides alternately.
The grenade was clearly pressed and exploded by tracks, but the outer iron-armored monster had nothing to do. How can I fight this battle?
Occasionally one or two grenades were thrown into the Japanese crowd behind them, and one halve of grenades could not pose a big threat to the Japanese.
"Retreat!" Everyone in the secret service team was brave, but there was no way to face the absolute strength of the Japanese!
Next, we have to face the search of the Japanese. The regiment commander did not even have much hope for whether he could leave the city, even if there were thousands of people outside the city attacking.
The 92 Infantry Cannon in the subdistrict fired several shells last night, but none of them hit the Japanese city gate!
Just a few shallow pits were blown up on the city wall!
This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army has not entered the county town until now.
The Eighth Route Army who had been infiltrated into the city became sparse. The Japanese captain in charge of command shook his head. These Eighth Route Army were really vulnerable! Report to the Colonel immediately: "The annihilation of the enemy in the city has been annihilated, and the security army has taken over the street entrance.
Defensive search and annihilation of the enemy, the first and second steps have been completed, and request to leave the city to annihilate the enemy!"
"Immediately assemble the troops, leave the city from the south gate, and after the shelling at the city gate, the 229th Squadron assaulted from the front, the 1319th Squadron and the 320th Squadron attacked towards the east and west wings!"
In the middle, the colonel's satisfied voice came.
......
The city gate suddenly opened. In the trenches of the Eighth Route Army that were avoiding grenades, several telescopes saw this scene, and everyone felt something was wrong. The city gate was not blown up, and there was no violent fire at the city gate. There was only one possibility, it must be
The Japanese in the besieged county town began to take the initiative. Then, fighting the spy regiment that led the night and morning in the city will be in danger!
Sure enough, an iron turtle came out from the crippled city gate!
Then there was the second and the third ones, a burst of dust flew, and a yellow figure emerged from the city gate.
After the three Iron Tortoises left the city, they roared the stone bridge on the moat that they drove straight past, and lined up outside the moat. The Japanese behind them ran over the stone bridge calmly, and then followed the Iron Tortoises and then retreated.
Occasionally, he poked out with a steel helmet and shot him in the direction of the Eighth Route Trenches.
On the city wall, the Colonel Captain was commanding ten mortars lined up, waiting for the tanks to reach the attack position. The large-caliber Type 97 Infantry Cylindrical Cannon (mortar) will once again attack the trenches dug by the Eighth Route Army outside the city overnight.
Carrage, then tanks open the way, and infantry charge.
The Japanese had already basically mastered the situation of the Eighth Route Army, an old opponent outside the city. There were only about three regiments of troops, two or three thousand people, and they were scattered at the north and south city gates, and there were no small troops of the Eighth Route Army in the east and west city gates.
This style of fighting is a positional battle. The Japanese colonel had already felt relieved. He never thought that there would be few Eighth Route Routes going out of the city from the east and west gates, and attack directly from the direction with the most firepower of the Eighth Routes in the south.
Above the city gate, the Japanese finally began to deploy operations. The flag bearer held the flag in both hands and used the flag language to continuously issue orders to the attacking troops ahead.
After some slutty operations, the mortar shooting sounded suddenly, and two black dots flew into the air.
After crossing the highest point, it began to fall and smashed hard into the Eighth Route Army trenches one mile away!
The Japanese test shot! More than a dozen observers leaned against the battlements of the city wall and observed carefully, and calculated the position of the mortar shells.
The range of the grenade launcher carried by the Eighth Route Army was insufficient and was already on standby. With the few Jinling-built Type 82 mortars, the shooting parameters were set up early, and the Japanese infantry were waiting for the arrival of the trenches!
The mortar made by the Jinling Arsenal has an 82 mm caliber, which is imitated in the French Bronde style, but its caliber is one millimeter larger than the French one. The reason is that the arsenal is insufficient in processing and manufacturing accuracy! Moreover, the National Government cannot produce steel grenades,
The Eighth Route Army is not showing weakness. There are only three or four hundred Japanese soldiers leaving the city, and there are nearly three thousand Eighth Route Army outside the city, ten times the enemy's strength!
In the trenches, the district commander and commanders at all levels were all excited: "I can't fight into the city, and I finally lure you out. I still don't believe it. I can't beat you one of the Japanese devils!"
After the test firing, the Japanese mortar immediately adjusted the shooting elevation angle, and a round of shells rushed into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the tank led the three yellow infantry attack lines behind and slowly advanced forward.
The Eighth Route Army in the trenches, several Czech styles, alternately counter-suppressing the attacking Japanese gangs against the bomb rain of Japanese tanks.
"Secretly, stop shooting!" The commander of the Eighth Route Army issued this order helplessly. Warriors were constantly lifted up by Japanese shells. More than a dozen anti-suppressed machine guns, and several waves of bullets fell, hitting the Japanese tanks in front of them. It seemed that they were basically
There was no effect, but three more machine guns were knocked down by machine guns on the Japanese tanks.
This is not a fundamental move. If the machine gun is against the Japanese tank, the Japanese will hide behind the tank and their targets will decrease. At a distance of two or three hundred meters, if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will set up a grenade launcher position behind the tank again.
Using machine guns to shoot tanks like this is a waste of bullets. The Japanese mortars standing on the city wall will probably stop shooting. In a while, the Japanese tanks will rush up, and then they will be close contact.
That was the time when the heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers killed the enemy!
"One platoon in each company will stay behind, and the other troops will retreat to the second trench, and no one is allowed to protrude." The regiment commander responded quickly enough and took immediate response measures. I will not fight with you Japanese.
If you have the will, you will keep attacking. I see if your tank can rush through it. I have already dug the trench more than two meters wide specifically used to deal with the tank!
At that time, if I charge back, I can't hit your tank, I will pick your weaknesses against your infantry.
Then let the commando get a few explosive packs, and I won’t believe you to blow it to death!
The firepower test of the tank attack by the Japanese did not produce the expected effect.
Because the commander of the Japanese chariot saw that the trench was too wide and the tank could not pass, so there was no need to take risks and fight the position with the Eighth Route Army directly next to the trench.
Chapter completed!
