Chapter 166: Battle with 7 and a half hordes in the city
Chapter 166: Battle with 7 and a half hordes in the city
Soldiers armed with PPSh submachine guns pressed forward, and one person could withstand a large amount of firepower.
The troops were experienced in street fighting, and they coordinated their advances and killed the Japanese without making them know where to go.
Small groups of troops clashed, and most of them were swept away in one encounter.
The streets were covered in blood, and the upper bodies were riddled with bullet holes clearly visible.
The main force that rushed in afterwards included many brave men who dared to draw their swords and fight the Japs with bayonets in hand.
The two sides fought in a group.
"Don't be stingy with your bullets, end the battle quickly."
The company commander of the assault group fired a submachine gun with a 75-round drum magazine of PPSh, which had long-lasting firepower and amazing lethality.
Especially during close combat, more than a dozen submachine guns formed suppressive firepower, and dense rain of bullets swept across as if in an empty space.
A large number of puppet troops surrendered, and some even took the initiative to open the city gates and lead the Eighth Route Army to attack inside.
Surrendering before the war is considered a merit and can be treated preferentially afterwards.
When they heard that they would be treated preferentially, they turned their guns on the Japanese.
"Don't fight your own people, let's kill the devils together!"
In order to survive, the puppet troops surrendered or rebelled, causing the defensive situation in the city to quickly collapse.
The puppet Mongolian cavalry division rushed forward and was intercepted by the cavalry and armored tank regiments.
The heavy machine guns fired at them, killing both the people and the horses.
Machine gun bullets have strong penetrating power, and one bullet can even penetrate two or three cavalrymen.
Bullets flew everywhere, and broken limbs fell to the ground.
The scene before my eyes was horrific. The cavalry were actually waving their sabers and slashing at the tanks.
The Japanese's thin-skinned cart has a layer of armor after all. Do you want to cut a hole in it with a saber?
The machine gun fired continuously, and bullets covered the front.
As the armored vehicles advanced, the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, which suffered countless casualties, was quickly defeated.
The battle in the city became one-sided, and the Suiyuan Army took the opportunity to rush into the city from the west and launch a joint attack.
The two troops rushed in separately, squeezing the enemy's space for movement. The leader of the cavalry group, Lieutenant General Yoshizo Kojima, looked ready to die.
Holding a small dagger, he waited for news of defeat.
He knelt on a piece of white cloth, preparing to commit suicide by cutting open his stomach.
Around him were a group of lunatics who were unwilling to die and also chose to commit suicide by disembowelment.
Facing the east, that is the direction where the Fuso Kingdom is located. It seems that you can see the emperor and witness their unyielding glory.
The Bushido spirit does not allow them to surrender. They would rather die in battle or commit seppuku than surrender.
Several tanks led the way and charged into the cavalry group headquarters, and the number of defending Japanese soldiers became fewer and fewer.
They were lying all over the ground.
The troops were constantly retreating and all retreated to the vicinity of the headquarters.
Facing the Eighth Route Army's advance, there was nothing they could do. Many Japanese soldiers had run out of bullets and were holding their bayonets with fear in their eyes.
The tank machine guns fired at them, and it was like cutting leeks, shooting down a large number of people in unison.
The bullet penetrated the flesh and blood, piercing half of the devil's body, leaving it in a bloody mess.
The power of the heavy machine gun is so terrifying that if it keeps firing for a while, there will be no one alive within its range.
The tanks advanced in coordination, with infantry providing cover on both sides, and they all charged into the city center.
The Japanese were unwilling to accept defeat, and many committed suicide to apologize. These crazy and inhumane beasts tried to show their bravery to the emperor in this way.
The tanks rolled over the corpses of the devils as they moved forward, their tracks crushing the flesh and blood into pancakes.
We approached the west gate and met with the soldiers of the 35th Army of Suiyuan. The two sides looked at each other, and there was a tense atmosphere.
The main force of the 35th Army was the 101st Division, and its commander Guo Jingyun was Mr. Fu’s trusted general. The soldiers all looked to the rear, waiting for his orders.
Zhou Weiguo led the tank regiment to the west gate. Facing the Northern Route Army, which was once the Second War Zone of the National Army, he felt mixed emotions.
Then all these complicated thoughts disappeared, and the most urgent task was to capture Guisui.
It is impossible for two forces to be stationed in the city. Does the Suiyuan Army want to get its hands on the fruits of victory?
Both sides introduced themselves, and Zhou Weiguo showed a determination not to give up an inch of territory. He lined up tanks in front and blocked the Suiyuan Army just as it entered the city gate.
Once the firing begins, the situation will be unfavorable for the Suiyuan Army.
The city wall fortifications cut off the main force, and at this moment Suiyuan City was ruled by the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Chao also hurried over with his men. This guy who came from the Northwest Army has been doing very well recently.
He expanded a mere security regiment into a complete detachment.
Sometimes choice is more important than hard work.
"Commander Guo?"
Commander Guo of the 35th Army is a famous figure.
Wang Chao came forward and greeted them to ease the current tense situation.
Although it was a joint war of resistance, they belonged to different sequences and were ultimately under the command of the Second War Zone.
It still has to be acceptable in terms of face.
"Thank you for the support from the Suiyuan Army. We have already taken down the stubborn enemies in the city. The most urgent task is to clear the surrounding areas. The city will be cleared by our Jinbei Column."
Wang Chao was neither humble nor arrogant, after all, he had many comrades standing behind him. In the past, he was nothing, just a pseudo-corps commander.
But now, Wang is already the commander of a detachment, equivalent to a main brigade, with several thousand people under his command.
At the command, they dared to engage in a fight with Guo Jingyun's troops.
See the tanks around us? With this thing, the soldiers feel more confident.
Guo Jingyun chuckled and used Mr. Fu's position to pressure others.
"According to the order of the Northern Army Commander, we have recaptured Suiyuan. We should thank our brother troops for their support. The city will naturally be occupied by the 35st Division of the 101th Army."
"Do you have any objections? You can report to the commander of the Second War Zone. The most urgent task is to eliminate the Japanese invaders and strengthen the city defense."
Zhou and Wang didn't care about the orders of the Second War Zone, and there was no such number as the Jinbei Column in the sequence of the Second War Zone.
It was Wang Chao who had to deal with this kind of thing. He cursed and said, "I don't know what the Second War Zone is. We took Suiyuan City with real guns and swords. No one else can get involved. I'll give you face and call you Division Commander Guo. If you don't give me face, I don't care who you are. Just ask if my tank is tough or not."
"Either send out your troops to fight them, or withdraw from Suiyuan City."
These are words to drive people away. If the enemy forces their way forward, Zhou Weiguo will certainly order to open fire.
Guo Jingyun's face was uncertain. No one dared to bark in front of him.
How could a mediocre regimental commander of the Northwest Army really become so powerful?
At this time, the men reported that a group of cavalry were moving towards the rear of the troops, and the main force of Sun Desheng's cavalry detachment was outflanking them.
If friction really occurs, it will be disadvantageous to Guo Jingyun's troops.
I’m afraid the group he brought with him won’t be able to get out.
Forced by the situation, he dared not fire a single shot. He had no choice but to lead his men out of the west gate and take over the territory west of Suiyuan.
The feud has been formed today, and we will have a long-lasting relationship in the future, so let's have a good communication.
Wang Chao waved his hand and arranged two main companies to guard the city gate, set up heavy machine guns, and guard against the Suiyuan Army.
"What a bullshit Second War Zone. I've never been paid by them, so don't act like one in front of me."
"Hehe, Commander Zhou, please forgive me for making fun of you. I, Wang Chao, am a rough man. I always can't help cursing. I deserve to be beaten for my mouth."
Zhou Weiguo sighed and simply arranged for the soldiers to clean up the county town without saying anything more.
