Chuchuchu!
Bang bang! ...
Both sides opened fire at the same time under the northern city of Baijia Town, and bullets covered the entire battlefield in an instant.
What streaked across the sky like meteors were bullets, and the liquid that looked like splashing ink was blood flying all over the sky.
The blood comes from both Japanese soldiers and independent regiment soldiers.
But in comparison, the soldiers of the independent regiment are more brave. The soldiers in the front row stood tall with their bodies riddled with holes, blocking bullets for their comrades behind them.
The comrades behind fired with tears in their eyes. They turned their anger into sharp swords and shot at the enemy.
At this moment, although the Japs had light and heavy machine guns holding down the formation, the soldiers of the independent regiment were all armed with automatic weapons. After the first battalion suffered more than 30 casualties and the Japanese momentum was suppressed, the second battalion of the independent regiment and the special agent battalion stepped out from the back of the team at the same time and aimed at the Japanese with overwhelming firepower.
At this time, the Japanese fell down like dominoes.
The Japanese were completely panicked. They left their injured colleagues and ran away.
It collapsed in one blow, and Zhu Shengzhong's battalion paid for this with their own lives.
One battalion lost more than forty people killed and a dozen wounded. Zhu Shengzhong was also injured. He knelt on the ground on one knee, breathing heavily.
Blood slowly flowed from his abdomen, and he pressed his wound with his left hand.
At this moment, Lao Shou, who was passing by, came to pull him, but Zhu Shengzhong said: "I'm fine, hurry up and rush up with the people. There are troops behind the Japs. They must rush through the Japs' camp and completely tear down the Japs' defenses." Drive. Go!"
Zhu Shengzhong roared and pushed Lao Snoring. Lao Shou could only lead the people to continue rushing towards the Japanese camp.
It turned out that what had just blocked the independent regiment's charge was only part of the Japanese army. The Japanese army stationed in the north of the city has a large group of soldiers. Half of the Japanese troops were blocking the city gate, while the rest were still resting in the camp.
In other words, no one knew when the Chinese would come out of the city. The Japanese just used a stupid method to divide a large group of people into two groups and take turns blocking them outside the North City.
Therefore, this gap must be completely opened, otherwise once it is blocked, large Japanese troops will arrive and surround them all under the North City Gate.
And this is also the reason why they did not take the west gate.
Because the Japs had already guessed that they would go through the West Gate, they sent out scouts early. Once the Chinese army made a move at the West Gate, the Japs scouts outside the gate would launch flares.
At that time, no matter which direction the Chinese army goes, they will encounter enemy attacks from the north or south.
But that kind of blocking is different from the current blocking. It is a long-distance blocking. The Independent Regiment and the 522nd Regiment were running, while the Japanese were shooting with machine guns, heavy machine guns, etc.
And by that time, not to mention dozens of people were killed or injured, even hundreds of people were possible.
Zhou Weiguo realized this, so he broke out from the north gate. He wanted to shorten the breakout time and defeat the Japanese army in a head-on confrontation. Otherwise, he would just increase casualties.
Of course, the most important thing is that the way to Erdaogou is on the road to the north gate. If they were to fight their way out through the west gate, they would have to take a detour back to the north gate. And in this way, they will encounter multiple attacks from the enemy at the north gate.
Therefore, breaking out from the north gate is the most correct choice.
But obviously, the Japanese army would not let the Independent Regiment and the 522nd Regiment break through so easily. While the Japs in Beimen were resisting tenaciously, the Japs who occupied nearly half of the East City were rapidly gathering.
The Japs from one of the squadrons were the first to assemble. Thinking that the Chinese defenders had retreated, they formed four columns and rushed towards the north gate.
But little did they know that there were more than a dozen firepower points targeting them at this time.
When the Japanese approached the North Gate, more than a dozen machine guns, heavy machine guns, and more than thirty rifles opened fire on the Japanese with all their strength.
Chuchuchu! Da da da!
boom! boom! ...
Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and the dense bullets were like rain hitting the beach.
The little devil rushed towards the north gate to sneak attack on the back of the Chinese army. They thought they had picked up a big deal, but unexpectedly they fell into a crossfire net composed of dozens of wounded soldiers.
The Japanese in front were instantly beaten into a sieve. The Japanese squadron leader roared that there was an ambush, but half of his head was blown away by a heavy machine gun bullet, and his dead body fell to the ground like a dead dog.
Under the terrifying fire blockade, the remaining Japanese did not dare to fight and fled, leaving dozens of corpses behind.
Captain Bo Tian arrived with his people at this time. He yelled that his men were all useless. Then he ordered another unit to detour from the central streets of Baijia Town to outflank the defenders in the city.
But what the Japs never expected was that just when a squadron of Japs soldiers turned around the street, they were blocked by more than a dozen other firepower points.
Once again, the Japs suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat. Not only were both pursuits blocked, but the Japs suffered nearly a hundred casualties.
"Baga! Why are there still so many people in their city?"
Old Japs Botian was very strange, because at this time, shouldn’t all the Chinese have fled? Why could such a large-scale resistance be organized in the city?
As a result, the old devil Bo Tian had to get serious. He once again sent two infantry squadrons to cooperate with the artillery to bombard the Chinese soldiers indiscriminately.
Most of the wounded soldiers could not move. Under the superior artillery fire of the Japanese army, the firepower points were knocked out by the Japanese one after another.
Although the Japanese also paid the price of more than a dozen casualties again, the wounded soldiers who could not move were very passive in this battle.
The Japanese army gradually advanced, and the wounded soldiers who could still move changed their minds and started fighting in the streets with the Japanese.
The Japanese were so beaten that they could not pass through the north gate to pursue the escaping enemy troops. The angry Bo Tian even ordered the Chinese defenders in the city to be eliminated first.
So the Japanese came overwhelmingly. The wounded soldiers gradually became exhausted, and eventually almost all of them were killed.
And the Japanese also discovered the truck abandoned by the Chinese.
The Bo Tian Japanese were surprised that the Chinese army had nearly fifty taels of trucks of various types. But at this time, they were all lined up neatly and were not taken away.
The Botian devil complained: "Baga, there are so many, so good trucks are no longer needed? The Chinese are simply wasting their natural resources."
Fujimura, captain of the Japanese 23rd Regiment, said: "Sir, I think the Chinese are trying to escape for their lives and deliberately gave us a big gift to prevent us from pursuing them."
"Hahaha, Fujimura-kun, what you said makes sense!"
The Botian Japanese laughed loudly and ordered his infantry to check the vehicles.
A Japanese soldier got into the car and started it, and found that there was no problem with the car.
He stood at the door of the car, stuck his head out and shouted to the old devil Bo Tian who was fifty meters away: "Sir, the trucks are all in good condition. The Chinese did not damage them."
After hearing this, Fujimura laughed and said: "Your Excellency, am I right? In order to escape for their lives, the Chinese are trying to bribe us with these trucks."
The Botian devil said: "Baga, the Chinese are so stupid. I want these trucks, and I want their lives, hahaha."
"Run, bomb, there's a bomb on the truck."
Just when the two Japs, Namata and Fujimura, were feeling proud, a Japs who climbed onto the truck suddenly screamed in horror.
At the same time, another Japanese soldier also saw it. When he lifted the tarpaulin on the truck, he found that not only were there people inside, but also a large amount of explosives! ...
