"Boom boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The Japanese field artillery regiment launched retaliatory fire into the city again. This time the target was the entire Xicheng District. One or two houses were razed to the ground with one shot. As long as there were people inside, it would be difficult to survive. The power of the heavy artillery was too great. Big.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was experienced and had almost no troops left in Xicheng District. They were scattered in every corner of Xicheng and used as observers.
All other troops withdrew to Dongcheng District, leaving Xicheng District to the Japs. Their purpose was to introduce the Japs into the city for street fighting.
The Japanese's artillery shells were not enough to level the entire Xicheng District. After consuming several hundred more shells, the Japanese infantry continued to attack. This time it was a three-sided siege. The Japanese at the south gate and north gate used regiment artillery. A feint attack was launched.
The pressure on the 881st Regiment began to increase, and the two sides entered into brutal street fighting.
After being severely beaten by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese began to face up to their opponents in the city;
In this round of attack, the Japs invested a squadron of Japs, strengthened two infantry guns, and began to seriously engage in offensive and defensive battles with the Eighth Route Army.
Street fighting is still a completely new way of fighting. Not to mention the Japanese, even the military powers of Europe have not yet come into contact with it. It was not until the Battle of Moscow that it really attracted the attention of military strategists from all over the world;
Prior to this, whether in the East or the West, the battle ended when the city was broken, and there was little precedent for large-scale street fighting in the city.
For example, Pali, which had just surrendered, was the capital of the largest army power in Europe. Before Mustache's troops came to the city, Gaul Chicken declared Pali an undefended city, and there was no pressure to surrender.
According to past practice, the battle in Nirvana should have ended long ago
"Bagayalu, Chu Xiong doesn't play by the rules!"
The Takeda Squadron, the second battalion of the 219th Regiment, attacked the city through the gap in the middle road of Xicheng. Looking around the Xicheng area, it was all ruins. Apart from the diffuse smoke, no one could be seen at all.
Captain Takeda did not dare to be careless at all. The painful lesson of the First Battalion had just passed. He was not stupid and would not be fooled by the Eighth Route Army again.
After entering the city, the Takeda Squadron spread out. The second squadron attacked the left, and the third squadron attacked the right. The first squadron, the squadron headquarters, and a strengthened infantry artillery squad slowly advanced from the center, constantly squeezing the Eighth Route Army. Activity space.
The Japanese skirmishers formed a very wide formation, and were basically organized into detachments. The detachments were about a hundred meters apart to facilitate mutual support.
A street in Xicheng District
Sergeant Matsumoto Shichiro is leading a detachment of Japanese soldiers to search forward. They have formed a two-dragon water formation that is most suitable for street combat. In modern terms, it is two columns, divided into three echelons. Each echelon has exactly 4 people, located in the middle. The first one is the machine gun team, with four riflemen in the front and rear. The echelons are about ten meters apart, so they take care of each other.
Sergeant Song Yuan held a southern pistol in one hand and a standard saber in the other. The two groups of soldiers were on guard.
Matsumoto is a retired old soldier who already has a wife and children at home. He belongs to the third reserve army. He thought he would never have to go to the battlefield again in his life. Unexpectedly, after the Emperor issued a recruitment order, he still went on to become a father. battlefield;
The emperor expected them to open up territory for the empire, but he just wanted to keep Michiko to expand the empire.
"Amaterasu, bless you!"
Song Yuan prayed silently in his heart, because he always felt that he was being watched, and the quietness of this street made him feel creepy.
"Work carefully. If you find something unusual, shoot immediately. You will die!"
The other Japs didn't take it seriously. They didn't even see a shadow of the Eighth Route Army. They were all empty rooms.
Three hundred meters away, Song Yuan's big head had been locked by an imported six-fold scope made of Hans cats. A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Bao, the sniper of the Second Company of the First Battalion, just like a hunter's smile after locking his prey.
This devil was very slippery, his head swaying left and right. It took a lot of effort for Yuan Bao, who was used to getting his head shot, to master the pattern of his head swaying;
When Song Yuan's head was locked by him again, he decisively pulled the trigger.
"Snapped!"
The bullet accurately hit Matsumoto's head. Matsumoto's eyes were filled with fear. He almost watched the bullet penetrate into his head. When he was dying, Michiko's beautiful face as big as a silver plate appeared in his head... …
After the other Japanese soldiers in the Songyuan detachment heard the gunfire, before they had time to react, dense bullets were fired almost simultaneously at the four o'clock and eight o'clock directions behind them;
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Bah hook bah hook bah hook..."
Almost all the Japanese were hit by bullets from the side and rear, and Yuan Bao killed another Japanese from the front. Before he could change bullets, there were no more 13 Japanese in a unit standing.
This is the standard inverted triangle ambush formation in the tactics of the independent brigade team. It is very effective when used in street fighting. As long as a dozen Japanese soldiers enter the ambush formation, they will not be able to escape.
Such a battle came and went quickly. After eliminating the Japanese in the ambush formation, they were not in a hurry to go out and clean the battlefield, but quickly hid themselves.
Sure enough, the Japanese who were searching for the advancing Japanese in another street heard the gunshots here and screamed for reinforcements...
"Bagaya road!"
When Imai Hachiro arrived with seven or eight Japanese soldiers, he couldn't help but cursed.
Yuan Bao didn't like to scold back, so he just gently pulled the trigger, making Imai Hachiro shut his mouth completely.
The sound of Yuanbao's gunshot was an order. The ambush soldiers on both sides fired at the backs of the Japanese, sending them to see Amaterasu!
Guns rang out intermittently in the city, which left the Japanese soldiers of Takeda Squadron deep in the city at a loss. There were gunshots everywhere and they didn't know where to go for reinforcements.
This was a small-scale ambush battle that took place in the city. The first battalion, second company, and first platoon of the fifth squad used the inverted triangle ambush tactic to ambush a small group of Japanese troops twice at the same place.
Killed 21 Japs, no casualties in the fifth squad!
The fifth squad leader waited for another ten minutes. When no more Japs came, he sent a team to clean up the battlefield, while other teams continued to ambush and guard.
In street fighting, the main thing is to save yourself. When cleaning the battlefield, you only need to quickly pick up some machine guns and ammunition. You will ignore everything else and talk about it after the fight is over.
The fifth squad just picked up a machine gun and a dozen bullet boxes, and then continued hunting.
There were fewer and fewer Japs around Takeda, and gunshots and grenade explosions continued to be heard from both wings of the city. They were characterized by being very short and intense, and then fell silent.
"Bagaya road!"
Captain Takeda had realized that he had been deceived by the Eighth Route Army and could not continue fighting like this. The two infantry cannons he brought over had little effect, and the barricade battle he was looking forward to did not happen at all.
The Eighth Route Army always left after the fight, without even giving them a chance to set up artillery. Takeda kept sending small teams to support the areas where the firefight occurred, but there was no news after they arrived. The entire city looked like a huge trap!
"Quickly, blow the assembly whistle!"
