Fang Fang jumped up and rushed to the city gate first. The soldiers of the third battalion who had been waiting for a long time followed the battalion commander and began to charge.
Although most of the soldiers were still in a state of confusion, they didn't know why a fight suddenly broke out on the tower in Fengcheng.
But the leaders rushed out, and the soldiers below followed them without thinking. They ran at full speed, and the distance of one mile was only about a minute. Soon the large army reached the city gate.
"Commander Fang, Commander Fang! I am Gao Jianwu. Please send a squad to take over the tower." Gao Jianwu shouted when he saw the responding troops rushing over.
The contact person of the county brigade said that the battalion commander of the main force dispatched was named Fang Fang. Gao Jianwu had never met him, so he could only shout his name loudly.
Hearing Gao Jianwu's shouting, even though it was the first time they met, the voice made Fang Fang feel extremely at ease.
"Captain Gao, thank you for your hard work. I am Fang Fang. All the men of the third battalion have arrived!" Fang Fang replied while commanding the troops to enter the city.
"The Third Company sent one squad to the tower. The rest of the squad followed me and rushed in.
One after another, they went to deal with the little devils in the city.
The Third Company firmly blocked the gate of the Japanese camp. "
Equation ordered.
This is planned. The first and second companies of the third battalion suddenly rushed towards the Japs barracks like tigers descending the mountain. The second company was still scurrying around like headless flies in the vicinity, but the two Japs who did not dare to come out were tightly blocked. Three machine guns were aimed at the gate and fired from time to time. The Japanese soldiers inside panicked and didn't know whether to rush out or not.
After Gao Jianwu handed over the tower guards and prisoners, he quickly caught up with Fang Fang and his team.
"Battle Commander Fang," Gao Jianwu caught up with the strong man who had just shouted to him, "there is only one platoon from the county brigade to contain the little devil. After a while, your team will take over from the county brigade to block the street. The other soldiers will enter the houses around the little devil and kill the common people." Encourage them to leave, and then rely on the favorable terrain to suppress their breakout and charge. My commando team will outflank and charge in from the side! Open the gap, turn back and the large troops will follow us in!"
"The place is narrow and the troops cannot be deployed. If there is no cover, the casualties will be heavy under the machine gun fire of the Japs."
Fang Fang had never fought in an urban street fight before. Although the team came in recklessly, Fang Fang was actually a little confused as to how to fight.
Hearing what Gao Jianwu said, Fang Fang paused for a moment. He turned around and glanced behind Gao Jianwu. Good guy, there were about a dozen team members armed with submachine guns, and there was also a Czech machine gun!
This equipment would be a waste if not used for assault!
"Captain Gao, the situation is urgent, I will do as you say!"
"Charge one platoon from one company to take over from the comrades from the county brigade. The second and third platoons follow Captain Gao in the assault; each platoon from the second company spreads out and enters the surrounding houses of the little devil and surrounds the little devil!"
Although it was the first time to cooperate in combat, Fang Fang did not hesitate at all. Gao Jianwu was able to knock down the tower and had completely conquered Fang Fang.
Seeing the equipment of Gao Jianwu and others, Fang Fang was even more confident. Tonight, Fengcheng's three battalions were sure to be defeated.
...
The county brigade blocked the position, and Luo Xianfeng's team fought very hard.
Due to the hasty preparation time, they only prepared seven or eight bags of soil in advance. After the battle started, they built a simple bunker as a barricade against the Jaap barracks.
The soldiers of the county brigade relied on one machine gun and more than 20 Hanyang-made guns, and they had a fierce face-to-face fight with the little Japanese almost 50 meters apart.
The soldiers initially relied on sneak attacks to kill the little Japanese guarding the gate in one fell swoop. However, when the little Japanese came to his senses and organized a counterattack, the soldiers of the county brigade were immediately at a disadvantage.
Facing the heavy machine gun fire suppression of the Japs, the soldiers of the county brigade did not even dare to put their heads out of the bunker. Then the Japs' grenade launchers began to fire. The soldiers of the county brigade immediately suffered heavy casualties in the blocking position on the street. .
Luo Xianfeng, who commanded the county brigade, also fell in a pool of blood.
When Fang Fang, Gao Jianwu and others arrived, there were only a few soldiers who had entered the house opposite and were struggling to support themselves.
Despite the disparity in strength, they still did not forget their mission and tried their best to stop the little devil's charge.
If Fang Fang and the others had arrived a little later, all the soldiers from the county brigade would have been wiped out.
"Machine gun cover, one row at a time! Kill those naughty little devils!" Fang Fang's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw the soldiers from the county brigade fell to the ground, sacrificing a large number of them.
A platoon, supported by machine gun fire, crawled forward and rushed towards the county brigade's position.
The rest of the people dispersed and began to surround the little devil.
In the darkness, the commander of the Japs, Yuji Kino, had no idea how many people had broken into the city.
Yuuji Geno felt that there were gunshot sounds in all directions. Many of the sounds were from submachine guns. In Yuji Geno's judgment, there were at least twenty or thirty submachine guns.
So Yuji Kino immediately concluded that he was attacked by at least one group, but he was a little confused as to why these people rushed into the city so quickly.
Is it rare that the guards at the city gate are all eating horse dung?
Geno Yuerba was stunned for a while, and finally picked up the phone first and urgently requested tactical guidance from Miyamoto Shaozuo at the large stronghold in Yanagi City!
After shaking the phone, Yuuji Geno calmed down for a moment. He couldn't figure out how many enemies there were with people shouting for death outside, so he decided to stick to the barracks and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Although this military camp, which was converted from a private courtyard, did not have any strong bunkers, there was no shortage of sandbag bunkers and a large number of houses. The thick earth walls were also indestructible bunkers for rifles and submachine guns.
Yuji Geno is confident that he can last two hours.
This is also the reason why Luo Xianfeng and the others were able to persist until the main force came up. The little devil went from wanting to rush out to rescue the defenders at the city gate to changing his mind and waiting for help in just a few minutes.
They waited for Equation to capture the county brigade position.
On the other side, Song Tiecheng and the others also occupied the east city gate and welcomed the main force of the county brigade, numbering about a hundred people, in.
The most elite platoon among the more than a hundred people was replaced with the weapons and equipment that Song Tiecheng and the others had left outside before. Although the number was small, the combat effectiveness suddenly increased several times!
After reuniting with Song Tiecheng and others, Zhong Weiguo of the county brigade decisively handed over the platoon to Song Tiecheng to command and attack the Japanese army camp. He led the rest of the people to rush towards the two Japanese soldiers.
Reinforce the blockaded Third Battalion and Third Company.
The key tonight is to quickly deal with the little devils. As for the two devils, just keep an eye on them. After the little devils are eliminated, they will have no choice but to surrender or die. There is no third way to go!
In the dark, nearly 100 people from the Third Company and the County Brigade were surrounded by more than 200 people. Under such circumstances, they rarely had the determination to rush out with all their strength.
This encirclement and beating was Gao Jianwu's usual tactic.
Today is no exception.
Soon, the little devil was surrounded by people from all walks of life.
When Gao Jianwu heard that Song Tiecheng was leading his team, he was reassured. Both city gates had been captured. The little Japanese and the second Japanese in Fengcheng were like catching turtles in a jar. This wave was basically stable!
