"Boom boom boom boom..."
All the artillery of the 881st Regiment fired wildly at the east gate city wall. The ancient city wall, which was not very strong in the first place, was blown down section by section by the explosive packs, and a large number of Japanese were buried in the ruins.
As soon as the artillery fire extended, a battalion of infantry in company units launched a fierce attack on the Japanese in the city from three large gaps. The Japanese also refused to retreat, and the two sides were fighting hard to separate themselves from the ruins of the city wall!
The role of the Mulan cannon in street fighting is fully demonstrated. The main company of the independent brigade has 6 Mulan cannons in each company's fire platoon, which can provide fire support to the company.
The three infantry companies were attacking almost on the gunpoints, so when they broke into the city wall, the Japanese who were stunned by the bombing had not yet reacted.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
When the assault platoons of each company penetrated dozens of meters into the city wall, the Japanese's surviving firepower began their final madness!
On the left wing, three machine guns blocked the attack channel of the second company in a vertical shape, and several assaulters who rushed in front fell in a pool of blood.
When the second company commander saw it, his eyes suddenly burst into flames and he shouted:
"Where's the Mulan cannon? It's giving me a hell of a lot of firepower from the Japanese!"
"Covering fire!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Dong dong dong!"
The machine gun barrels fired wildly at the enemy's fire points, and the grenade canisters of the platoon's fire squad also used their coolness to fire two rounds at the enemy. They always changed positions after firing one round to avoid being locked by the Japanese grenade tubes.
The firepower output of the Second Company quickly attracted the Japanese firepower point. Three Hua Mulan artillery groups rushed from three directions to a distance of 150 meters from the Japanese firepower point.
Soon the secondary shooter was loaded, and the main shooter took aim and decisively pulled the trigger...
"chirp"
"boom!"
A rocket hit the enemy's left wing firepower point first, and all four Japanese in a machine gun group saw Amaterasu.
Immediately afterwards, two rockets hit the heavy machine gun in the middle, and seven or eight Japanese were swallowed up by the explosion.
The main shooter of the machine gun on the right wing was completely dumbfounded. The mysterious weapon of the Eighth Route Army was too terrifying. He turned the machine gun in the direction and was about to attack an exposed rocket launcher group.
"Boom!"
A grenade launched from a grenade hit the location of the Japanese's crooked machine gun. The Type 94 grenade exploded, killing the primary and secondary shooters.
After eliminating the Japanese firepower, the assault platoon continued to attack, and their attack formation remained rigorous.
Hasegawa Ichi is already thinking about whether to retreat from the north gate. Although he talks beautifully, he is not willing to be used as cannon fodder;
It's okay to serve His Majesty the Emperor and fool others. Officers at his level already have the ability to think independently. Not everyone has the courage to face death.
The sound of gunfire is getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for him to turn in!
"Bagaya road!"
The desire to live finally defeated his worthless samurai spirit, and he decided to lead the brigade to the north gate!
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Major Hase just led the brigade to turn towards the north gate. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of puppet troops rushing toward them from a distance.
"Bagayalu, these bastards want to betray the imperial army and kill them!"
"Brothers, the stubborn Changgu Japanese are trying to escape. Kill them. Don't let them escape."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Both sides opened fire almost at the same time, and both fell to the ground!
The Japs' guard team was much more elite, but the puppet troops were much more numerous than the Japs. The two sides fought evenly, with each other suffering casualties.
Chang Gu did not have time to fight with Liu Mazi and others. After a brief fight, the Japanese brigade, under the cover of the guard team, fought and retreated toward the north gate.
Liu Mazi was eager to achieve success and constantly urged the puppet troops to risk their lives in pursuit. The two sides moved towards the north gate with clatter.
"Brothers, come on, the Changgu Japs are right in front. If you catch them, I will reward you heavily!"
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. The puppet soldiers themselves had a lot to eat. As soon as they heard about the heavy rewards, they all chased the Japanese as if they had been given blood, and gradually approached the North Gate.
Guarding the north gate were another battalion of the puppet army and a small group of Japanese soldiers. When the old Japanese soldier Chang Gu rushed over, the puppet soldiers at the north gate had not figured out what was going on;
Because their battalion commander had run away secretly, and the company commander could not be found. The rest of him was just a careless master.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The Japs' machine gunners fired at the puppet troops. The small group of Japs at the city gate also took the opportunity to fire at the puppet troops at the city gate. The puppet troops dispersed in an instant.
The Japanese successfully controlled the city gate and opened it. Changgu and others rushed out of the north gate. After gathering the small team at the north gate, the guard force around Changgu was strengthened. In addition, the brigade headquarters survived. Nearly 150 people broke out and threw the remaining Japanese into the city.
When the city was broken, Chang Gu chose to die against Pindao, and the puppet army led by Liu Mazi also chased them out of the north gate. The two sides were several hundred meters apart.
After rushing out of the north gate, Liu Mazi had other ideas. If he could save his life, there was no need to join the Eighth Route Army. If someone had a gun, he could find a bandit on any hilltop and still enjoy the hot food!
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Just when Liu Mazi was thinking about leading his team to become bandits, there was a burst of gunfire from the direction where the Japanese were escaping, which scared him into a cold sweat and said to himself:
"There is indeed an ambush!"
Liu Mazi's brain was so good that he immediately had an idea in his mind and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, chase and kill, don't let the stupid Japanese get away!"
After Liu Mazi finished shouting, he used the box cannon in his hand to fire a shuttle towards the Japanese as they fled. It didn't matter whether they hit or not. The most important thing was to let the Eighth Route Army in the distance hear their gunshots.
"This is a battlefield uprising!"
The puppet soldiers all followed Liu Mazi and fired in the direction of the puppet. No one was hit, but the noise was quite loud.
Ten minutes later, when Liu Mazi and others arrived at the ambush point of the 882nd Regiment, Hasegawa and others had been eliminated by the ambush. More than 800 people ambushed more than a hundred Japanese. If there was any suspense, Li Qing would be ashamed to see Chu Xiong again.
"Comrades of the Eighth Route Army, don't shoot. We are among our own people. We have an uprising on the battlefield. Old Japs Changgu was chased all the way here by us!"
Li Qing was also speechless and couldn't say much, so he had to control them first and then verify;
Liu Mazi, a ghost boy, was very cooperative because he never told anyone about his plan to become a bandit.
Li Qing found some puppet soldiers to verify separately. It was true that they took the initiative to attack the Japanese brigade headquarters and then chased them all the way here. According to the policy of the Eighth Route Army, at least they must be treated as prisoners anyway, and they cannot be treated as prisoners!
Li Qing asked several puppet soldiers in private. Liu Mazi usually bullied the people, but he was only able to extort some money. He had never killed any people while he was stationed in Nirvana.
After checking clearly, Li Qing knew that this kid was speculating, but they had no blood debt on their hands and they took the initiative to stop it anyway, so he had no choice but to admit it!
"Captain Liu, I have already verified that you do not meet the conditions for a battlefield uprising, so I can only count you as a rebel;
We welcome those who are willing to stay in the Eighth Route Army. Politically, you are the same as other Eighth Route Army soldiers, but your position is not guaranteed. You will be awarded corresponding positions based on your ability and performance, and the highest will not be higher than the platoon leader!
If you don't want to stay, we will pay you travel expenses and let you go, but you must not go back and become a puppet soldier. "
When Liu Mazi heard that he was just a platoon leader, he felt a little disappointed, but he still chose to stay on the Eighth Route.
These are troubled times, and he is nothing without the troops. The platoon leader is at least an official, recognized by the government, and is better than being a bandit!
"Eighth Route Chief, it doesn't matter whether you are an official or not, as long as you can fight the Japanese, I, Liu Mazi, will stay here to fight the Japanese!"
Liu Mazi said with an upright face
"Nima..."
Li Qing cursed secretly.
