The Japanese army then attacked the gap in the county town, but this time it was somewhat beyond their expectations. The resistance they encountered was not fierce.
In the view of the Japanese commander, perhaps they had destroyed the resistance will of the Chinese army in front of them, so nearly a small group of Japanese troops rushed into the gap.
However, when the Japanese team leader in charge rushed into the gap, he discovered that the houses in the middle were relatively well preserved, while the walls and houses collapsed on both sides.
From a combat perspective, it is of course safer to enter the middle of the house.
What's more, they had no choice but to enter, because at this time the Chinese army's gunshots rang out intensively, and there were still Chinese troops on the walls on both sides of the gap!
Hiding behind the broken wall and rubble was not safe in the house after all.
As a result, the Japanese army launched an attack on the houses in the middle, but the resistance in that house was not fierce, so the Japanese troops were driven by bullets from both sides and automatically hid in that group of houses.
But just when these Japanese soldiers entered the house and hid their figures, there were huge explosions one after another.
Then the house exploded like a child's building blocks. Bricks and tiles flew everywhere in an explosion, followed by black smoke.
The explosion was so strong that the Japanese soldiers who entered the house could not be said to have been killed, but they suffered heavy casualties.
"Good job!" the officer in charge shouted, and then with a wave of his hand, he led the people and rushed towards the ruins.
"Pay attention to shooting, don't miss anyone!" Shang Zhen, who had climbed onto a roof at this time, also shouted.
They were lying in ambush around those houses. Since the officers and soldiers had already rushed forward, they only needed to use their guns to "make change" for cover.
The officers and soldiers who rushed forward naturally refilled their guns.
After the rubble pile broke through the wall, Japanese soldiers leaned out, but they were shot by Shang Zhen and others from the commanding heights.
"Pick up more grenades!" Mr. Wang shouted.
Now that street fighting has begun, whichever side has more explosives will naturally have an advantage.
The reason is simple. There are people in the house, and rifle bullets cannot penetrate the wall, but there is no enemy that cannot be defeated by a grenade. It only needs to be thrown lightly.
This was an unexpected victory, albeit a small part of the battle.
Although there were casualties on the Northeast Army side, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were directly eliminated, and that was a small team!
If this explosion method had not been used, one can imagine how much the Northeast Army would have paid to kill these Japanese troops.
The Northeastern officers and soldiers who were searching for grenades in the ruins were smiling happily, but at this moment they suddenly heard the "pop" and "pop" sounds of Type 38 rifles shooting from behind!
Faced with life and death, the enemy's gunfire made them particularly sensitive. The officers and soldiers among the broken walls either subconsciously pounced down, or hid behind the broken walls, but they all pointed their guns back.
And this was when Shang Zhen shouted: "Don't worry, we were the ones who shot you!"
The officer in charge was the first to rush out. Shang Zhen was not far away from them, so he naturally heard Shang Zhen's shout clearly.
So he carefully poked his head out from behind a broken wall. At this time, he saw several soldiers under Shang Zhen holding three Type 38 rifles but firing into the sky!
"Are you in Gaha?" The officer looked at the sky in confusion. The sky was filled with black smoke, but there were no Japanese planes. Shang Zhen's actions really confused him.
"The gunfire can't stop. When the gunfire stops, it's time for the little devil to fire!" Shang Zhen replied loudly.
"Oh." At Shang Zhen's prompt, the officer suddenly realized, but then he cursed angrily, "Why did you go there earlier? When we rushed up, didn't you fucking say something in advance? ?”
"We are not gods, we just remembered it!" Mr. Wang responded unceremoniously.
Mr. Wang was also angry. He killed so many Japanese soldiers in one blow. Although all the participants in the war had credit, after all, it was Shang Zhen who came up with the idea. How dare you scold us if you don't praise us, you idiot? !
The officer was not unhappy because Mr. Wang contradicted him. In fact, it was this aunt who was often spoken to by Northeasterners.
"Pick up another crooked stick from the little devil, and let's beat it up too. Don't let the little devil think that all their people are dead!" Inspired by Shang Zhen's thinking, the officer also ordered.
Once he heard what Mr. Wang said was right, his temper came and went quickly.
So in the following time, the Japanese gunfire still sounded near the gap, as if the enemy and we were still fighting.
As a result, the Japanese troops outside the county town did not launch any more artillery attacks.
"Okay, boy, your move is really good!" A soldier praised the little dustpan loudly.
A battle made those Northeastern officers and soldiers who participated in the war directly became brothers with Shang Zhen and others.
Faced with the invasion of different provinces, officers and soldiers can share the same hatred, not to mention that they are all part of the Northeast Army.
"Who are you talking about? There's no one big or small!" Little Dustpan was unhappy.
"Oh, it seems like you are so big, you haven't even grown all your hair, right?" the soldier said with a smile.
"I see you are really young and old. How many battles did your Sixty-seventh Army fight with the Japanese? You are only fighting the Japanese now, right? I have been fighting the Japanese since September 18th and have been fighting until now!" Xiao Dustpan does not shy away from his own experiences.
And in fact it is roughly the same.
Shang Zhen and the others had been fighting all the way back from outside the Pass since September 18th. At that time, the 67th Army was fighting a civil war inside the Pass.
In terms of military age, this soldier who is a few years older than Xiao Dustpan is naturally longer, but in terms of qualifications and experience in fighting the Japanese army, Xiao Dustpan still wins.
And the reason why this is basically the case is because Xiao Dustpan didn't catch up with September 18th. He was still a kid in the forest team on September 18th. He only joined Shang Zhen and the others on the way to Guannai. This group.
"Really or not? You're just a little kid, your beard hasn't grown yet, who will believe you?" The soldier said he didn't believe it.
"There's no point in having a beard. The boss of goats all has beards, but you let him fight the Japanese?" The little dustpan's little mouth never gave in.
The officers and soldiers around him started laughing when they heard what Little Dustpan was saying.
But two people didn't smile, that was the officer in charge, and the other one was Shang Zhen.
This time Shang Zhen came up with a delaying strategy.
"I'm not saying it's wrong to kill the little Japs. Now that we want to complete the last day's defense, we should try our best to delay the fight until dark. Once our battle mission is completed, we can retreat."
At this time, the officer was completely convinced of Shang Zhen, so he began to listen to Shang Zhen's instructions.
