Chapter 233: Infiltration, air strikes, tunnels, Ding Wei has too many tricks
For every one who surrendered, a large group of soldiers surrendered.
The Japanese suffered a defeat in Yangqu and were almost wiped out. The remaining troops of two infantry battalions fled backwards in panic.
Abandoned the defense and left the battlefield.
During the escape, more and more defeated soldiers gathered and followed the captain to flee towards Taiyuan.
Little did they know that among these defeated and gathered soldiers, there were a large number of "their own people".
The soldiers from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, along with the defeated soldiers from Taiyuan, sneaked into the heavily guarded fortifications.
If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, I'll tie a sandbag on my head to cover my face, so no one can tell.
Wounded soldiers poured into the barracks, anxiously calling for doctors to treat them.
Yoshimoto Sadaichi's face was gloomy. Yangqu had two infantry battalions and hundreds of military police, but they couldn't even hold the city for a whole night.
The veterans were either dead or injured, and the new recruits simply couldn't withstand the pressure.
There were thousands of soldiers who retreated in defeat, and there were four to five hundred wounded soldiers alone. The rest were frightened deserters.
Deserters should be dealt with and shot.
The situation in the city is not optimistic and panic is spreading.
The puppet troops and traitors alike are all trying to find a way out.
The Japanese blocked the city gates immediately, allowing only people to enter but not leave, to prevent the Eighth Route Army's undercover personnel from transmitting intelligence. They conducted strict internal investigations and blocked the signals.
The soldiers who infiltrated with the defeated soldiers did not show up at the first time.
Disguised as a wounded soldier, he hid near the hospital.
The special forces took the initiative to look for contacts in the city and discuss ways to create chaos.
At the same time, they investigated the enemy's deployment and tried to pass the message on to provide targets for bombing by aircraft.
The offensive in the direction of Yangquan continued unabated. Li Yunlong's troops had been fighting for five consecutive days, successively eliminating strongholds and bunkers outside the city and approaching the city wall.
The encirclement of the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade was completed, and all that remained was to press forward to attack the city and engage in street fighting.
As a commander, Li Yunlong looked depressed.
He stayed in the command center day and night, his eyes bloodshot.
"Old Li, let the soldiers rest for half a day. We have been attacking for five consecutive days and nights, and we are all exhausted."
"Rest? The Japanese have been fighting for five days and five nights, and they are finally on edge. It depends on who relaxes first. Let the Japanese rest for half a day so that they can prepare more fortifications and shoot more comrades."
"Pass the order down. Grit your teeth and take the city in one go. After the battle, I will let them have a good rest for half a month."
Li Yunlong became furious and demanded that all the reserve personnel join the battle.
When the charge sounded, all those who could run rushed forward to fight the final battle with the Japanese.
The main force, county brigade, district squad, guerrillas, and even militia joined in. Give the enemy a final blow.
The brother troops responsible for providing assistance also all joined the battle.
The soldiers hurriedly prepared, transporting supplies and ammunition to the front line of the battle.
Those who were slightly injured continued to fight after being bandaged.
This is a hatred between the Independent Detachment and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and no other troops are involved.
Between Li Yunlong and Kawamura Dong, only one person can persist to victory.
Kawamura Dong, who was in charge of the defense, was also exhausted at this moment.
All the outer positions were lost and the hospitals were filled with wounded soldiers.
There was no news of reinforcements, which made morale even worse.
"Lao Li, Lao Li, I just received an order from Ding Wei to postpone our attack for one hour."
Delay for one hour, what the hell is Ding Wei doing?
Li Yunlong picked up the cigarette butt he was about to throw away and took a deep puff.
"He doesn't know our situation. One hour delay? One hour is enough for me to finish this battle. Is there any other news?"
Xing Zhiguo had just learned the news that Ding Wei had delayed the independent detachment's attack for an hour as a surprise.
What's the surprise?
Did you arrange reinforcements or artillery?
Li Yunlong has been fighting hard these days, and he hasn't seen Ding Wei arrange any troops to come over.
Seeing the final attack and the finishing touch, there will be some surprises.
Of course, surprises are unexpected and come from heaven.
Taking off from the direction of Wucheng, Japanese bombers and fighters formed two flying squadrons, and more than 60 aircraft appeared on the edge of the sky.
The defenders in the city who had good eyesight cheered.
Reinforcements are coming, these are our own planes.
The Japanese soldiers jumped up one by one and shouted upwards. Their suppressed morale was ignited by the sudden arrival of fighter planes.
The plane circled in the air, looking at the cheering Japanese soldiers below. Many people came out of the fortifications to admire the majesty of the Imperial fighter planes.
Some people even took off their clothes and cheered with their bare chests.
But the fighter planes were just circling and had no intention of attacking?
More and more soldiers looked up and found that the bomb drop ports of the heavy bombers were aiming at their own positions.
Bombs fell from the sky and landed on the shouting crowd.
The Japanese soldiers who were still cheering died in the violent explosion before they could figure out what was happening.
The high-explosive bomb was so powerful that it swept across the area around the fortifications like a fireball.
The Japanese soldiers who had no time to dodge were burned by the flames, their clothes set on fire and their arms were blown off.
The broken limbs and ruins were in a mess. The first bomb seemed to point the way, and the rest of the fighter planes dived and bombed one after another.
"Enemy attack, these are enemy fighter planes, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are fighting back."
The cheering Japanese soldiers had no time to find the anti-aircraft machine guns or the anti-aircraft cannons.
The bombers dived one after another, dumping the bombs they were carrying.
The machine guns and heavy machine guns on the fighter jets were firing at full power.
The machine gun fired at the crowd. The large-caliber bullets had strong penetrating power and shot into the chest with a "puff puff".
The bullets exploded one after another, and the power of the sweeping fire was extremely fierce.
After wreaking havoc for a while, the fighter planes flew away and withdrew from the battle before the Japanese anti-aircraft fire could be delivered.
The city's defenders were thrown into chaos by the bombing, and their heavy machine gun and artillery positions were destroyed one after another.
Surprise, really a surprise.
Li Yunlong was extremely envious. When he couldn't even put together a mountain artillery battalion, Ding Wei was already able to conduct aerial bombing?
Comparing yourself with others will only make you feel tiring, so just blow the charge.
All members of the independent detachment attacked the Japanese fortifications.
Taking advantage of the internal chaos of the Japanese, a wave of troops rushed into the position and entered the city to engage in street fighting.
The Japanese invaders, having suffered a mockery, had lost the last bit of their morale and calmly accepted the judgment of death under the bombing of aerial bombs.
The guy whose arms and legs were blown off shouted in despair, "Long live the Emperor!"
Instead of calling the emperor, he called Li Yunlong, who cut off the devil's head with a knife.
"Comrades, charge!"
Commander Li led the way and, under the protection of the monks, rushed up with a big knife.
With Commander Li leading the charge, the soldiers' morale was high.
There is no need to say much about Wei Dayong's skills. Three or five people cannot get close to him.
He swung his bayonet continuously and aimed the spear in his hand at the enemy's face. With him protecting Li Yunlong, the enemy had no chance of getting close to him.
"Monk, leave two for me. You've ruined all of them."
